After saying this, Long Yi ignored General Shi and waved his hand vigorously: "Attack the Yamai people."
Wu Shengjun began to attack the Yamai people, firing large and small crossbows at the enemy.
The bed crossbow is powerful and has an extremely long range. It can shoot a line for several miles, killing or injuring anyone living on the line.
The hand crossbow occupies a safe distance and fires continuously, treating the opponent as a living target.
Moreover, a catapult fell into the formation of the Maltese.
A long range attack forced the Yamai people to charge instead and engage in close combat to avoid the threat of long range weapons.
On top of the infantry phalanx, withstood the enemy's attack.
When a large army fights, it doesn't mean running across each other into the opponent's formation to catch each other and fight, or soldiers against soldiers and generals gesticulating with each other. That is an impossible scene.
Only those in the front row have the opportunity to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy and fight until they die or retreat after being wounded. The people in the rear continue to fill in and crowd forward until one side is too weak to withstand it.
Once one party cannot withstand it and retreats, it is basically defeated.
If you turn around and run away, you will definitely be defeated and become the target of massacre by the opponent.
When the confrontation begins, no one will retreat. They will fight for every inch of ground and push forward with flesh and blood. Whichever side is more powerful will be more likely to win.
The archers in the back row continued to shoot into the enemy, killing and injuring the enemy's subsequent troops and forcing the opponent to retreat.
At this time, the crossbow is not very useful. Unless you occupy high ground, you have a chance to shoot down the enemy.
The projectile of the bow and arrow can better damage the enemies in the back row.
Wu Shengjun set up arrow towers and ladders, which also worked at this time. A large number of crossbowmen crowded up, occupied high places, and shot down the enemy from a high position.
Whose equipment is better has become a key issue in determining victory or defeat. Whose weapons are sharper and can have a greater upper hand. Their armor is stronger and can reduce a lot of casualties.
This is a time when the craftsmanship of both sides in the war is tested.
Of course, the bravery and high morale of the soldiers are also critical issues.
The two sides fought fiercely, and the Yamai people were obviously at a disadvantage.
Commander Jingxia repeatedly urged General Shi: "Attack quickly, win this battle, and share the Wu Shengguo. You will get more."
For General Shi, it was indeed a very difficult choice.
If he makes the wrong choice, it may affect the fortunes of Xichang.
Not only would all his elite troops die in a foreign country, but his family would probably be executed by the Xichang court in a rage.
This battle had a great impact on the Xichang Kingdom.
Originally, the Xichang cavalry was his great psychological support, but now the Xichang cavalry has become vulnerable and is equivalent to being useless, which makes him very uncertain about the outcome of this war.
I used to think that the two countries' coalition might have a 60 to 70 percent chance of winning, but now it's less than 50 percent.
It would be too risky to win or lose.
Not to mention probably less than half.
If we turn around and fight the Yamai people, we will definitely win...
After thinking about it, he raised his voice and asked, "Can the Prince Consort keep his promise?"
Long Yi said calmly: "When has this king ever broken his promise?"
You are the only ones who are despicable.
"Okay, Mr. Shi Xinxin."
People's credibility is indeed important sometimes. Long Yi's credibility is relatively good. At this moment, General Shi felt that he was more reliable than the Yamai people. He immediately made up his mind and waved the order, "Attack the Yamai people."
The Xichang army launched a flank attack on the Yamai people.
The Yamai people suddenly became confused.
"Despicable, despicable..."
It is most uncomfortable when an ally rebels. A stab in the back is more lethal than a frontal attack.
Especially psychologically it is enough to break down.
Although the Yamai people can brag, facing the coalition forces of the two countries, the mere numerical advantage can make them weak in fear.
In fact, the relationship between Yamai Country and Xichang Country is not very good, and there are constant frictions on the border. This time it is only a temporary alliance.
Temporary alliances and temporary dissolution are also normal.
It was originally a temporary alliance because of the interest relationship, and it was natural to temporarily defect because of the interest relationship.
The Yamai people were defeated and hurriedly retreated to the county town. The chaotic defeated army was cut off by the Xichang army. Only tens of thousands of people ran into the city. The main force was besieged and dumped outside the city.
Now that they have taken action, the Xichang people will also annihilate the main force of the Yamai people, and they will be ruthless.
The commander-in-chief underground was furious and flew from the air to kill General Shi: "You Xichang people are really despicable!"
The ally he finally managed to pull over was stabbed in the back. He couldn't bear the result.
This time Long Yi took action himself, flying to intercept him: "You still have to fight against the general, you can't hide."
The commander in the well stuffed a magic pill or other elixir into his mouth, his eyes turned red, and he looked like a madman: "You all must die."
He knew that he was not Long Yi's opponent under normal circumstances, so he could only fight with him, and maybe there was a chance of survival.
"You look very powerful, but you also look like you're looking for death."
Long Yi pulled him and beat him to the sky. He didn't fight hard with him. He just hung him up and played with him, beating him farther and farther.
This kind of pill that temporarily enhances strength has a time limit and has serious side effects. As long as the effect of the medicine is exhausted, it will be useless.
If the strength of the two sides is similar, the weaker side can use a magic pill to quickly kill the other side. Naturally, it will be safe and worry-free. If it cannot kill the other side, it will not be able to escape.
The Yamai people who fled into the city could not sit back and watch one of their own being beaten to death by a group of people. They had to go out of the city to rescue them. They wanted to bring their own people back, but they also caught the Xichang people in the middle.
The war became more and more chaotic.
It is common for a war to last for months or even years, but this one was considered a decisive battle right away.
Even if they have the numerical advantage, it is not that easy to annihilate all the hundreds of thousands of elite troops. The Yamai people are also very brutal when fighting trapped animals.
What's more, once you gain an advantage, you need to minimize your own casualties. Being able to use bows and crossbows to attack enemies from a distance is much more cost-effective than fighting in close combat.
If you want to kill everyone on the other side, you have to fight in the dark under the stars.
Fortunately, the moonlight was not bad, there were a lot of bonfires lit, and fire spells even appeared in the night from time to time.
War flames are usually lit during night battles. Why light them in broad daylight?
The dominant side should take the opportunity to annihilate the opponent, while the weak side should work hard to break through.
This was considered a field battle, the terrain was not complex, and the advantages were too obvious, resulting in a one-sided victory. If it is a street fight in the dark, there will be more variables, and it will be easier for the weaker side to break through.
Almost all of Wu Sheng's army went into battle. Encirclement and suppression, siege and siege were carried out everywhere.
Zhou Xiaozhou was free and comfortable as a spectator.
Without Long Yi, no one would force him to charge into battle. There was no great need, so naturally he wouldn't take risks.
Night battles are more risky, and you may even be accidentally killed by your own side.
