Five hundred steps means that they have entered the range of the Ming army's bows and arrows, but it also means that the warriors only need a few breaths to directly fight with these Ming people.
The battle is already on the verge of breaking out.
Ma Heima immediately adjusted his breathing. He moved his fingers very experiencedly, and the bones of Kong Wu's strong palms made crisp sounds against each other. "While advancing, organize the formation at the same time."
"As long as I hold up the torch, let the warriors follow me and charge..."
The soldier nodded and went to give the order. In the darkness, these warriors of the Timurid Empire advanced in small steps while quietly gathering their formation, which was slightly scattered due to stealth. However, before Ma Heima could raise the torch, a sudden change occurred in the trench of the Ming army in front of him, and a voice said loudly:
"Enemy attack! The thieves are coming!"
Ma Heima's heart tightened. He didn't care that the formation was still perfect, and immediately drew out the scimitar at his waist: "Warriors, kill all these bright dogs!"
"Kill!" The three thousand warriors of the Timur Empire suddenly shouted loudly. They took off the shields on their backs and rushed forward with their big shields raised.
Akito has only discovered them now, and there is still much to be done.
"Three hundred steps, free fire!" Akito's voice said in the trench.
Ma Heima couldn't understand Chinese, so he didn't bother asking for a translator at this time. He firmly believed that as long as three thousand warriors rushed to the trench, the Ming people would be defeated at the first touch...
Bang bang, bang bang!
The sound of popping beans was heard, and Ma Heima was surprised to find that the warriors fell one after another. The shield, which was originally thick enough to defend against heavy arrows, was now like paper. The firelights in front of the trenches of the Ming army flashed alternately, like some kind of magic. Every time they flashed, there must be a person. The warrior screamed and fell.
This kind of weapon Ma Heima had heard from the battle report that it was a weapon called "firearm" by the Ming army, so he immediately calmed down and sent a message to the left and right: "It is the Ming people's 'firearm', don't be afraid, just kill Up close, these things are useless..."
The originally slightly flustered battle line suddenly froze. As long as there were no gods or ghosts, these warriors from the Timur Empire were not afraid. The mystery and deterrence of the unknown weapon were quickly broken by Ma Heima.
However, the flames in the Ming army's line became denser and denser. It seems that more and more Ming people joined the battle. In just a few hundred steps, Ma Heima had already lost about one-tenth of his warriors before engaging the Ming army. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but it didn't matter. The trench limited the concentration of Akito. Ma Heima still believed that victory belonged to him.
Only a hundred steps away from the trench, the Ming army thought that deserters had begun to appear, and the firelight from the firearms began to become sparse.
"Kill, kill the bright people!" Ma Heima was already aroused. The warriors at the forefront finally arrived in front of the trench. He jumped into the trench, ready to fight with the Ming army guarding the front. .
However, what awaited him was an empty trench. The Ming troops who were originally here to shoot them no longer knew where they had gone.
The same thing is happening everywhere in this trench: after these three thousand Timurid Army soldiers entered the trench, they were shocked to find that there was no Ming army fighting with them to defend the line of defense they had worked so hard to build... ...On the contrary, he was extremely decisive and withdrew without a trace.
The first Timurid warrior to jump into the trench looked up to the sky and shouted, celebrating that his bravery had successfully scared off the cowardly Akito, but then a bullet fired from the side took away his life. . A Ming army soldier emerged from nowhere, raised his hand and shot him, killing him.
Only then did they discover that there were an unknown number of traffic ditches and troop hiding holes inside this large trench...
"Thief, eat Grandpa's grenade!"
A Ming army soldier emerged from nowhere. While these Timurid Empire soldiers were stunned, he waved and threw an object and then quickly got into a small ditch. Immediately afterwards, the object made a terrible explosion, killing dozens of soldiers of the Timur Empire on the spot. The flying nail heads and iron sand caused the warriors in the surrounding circle to be seriously injured and scream.
The Timurid Empire warriors who entered the trench were like headless flies. They were constantly shot with black guns and thrown by black thunder by the soldiers of the Ming army.
Suddenly, all of these three thousand people were in danger, and suffered heavy casualties.
"...Find! Find out these despicable bugs!"
Ma Heima now lives up to his name, with an elongated pockmarked face as ugly as the bottom of a pot. He now seems to understand the disgusting nature of Akito digging this trench. It is true that this kind of ditch will inevitably lead to the dispersion of Ming people's troops, and not many troops can be piled up in one section of the ditch.
But if they want to occupy these trenches, they must be forced to disperse their forces and completely clean up the elusive Ming soldiers in the trenches... If they don't clean up, it won't work. If they continue to gather troops and move forward, sooner or later they will be annoyed by these annoying soldiers. Akito killed them cleanly.
I thought that as long as I rushed to the trench, the ensuing battle would be devastating, but I didn't expect that after seizing the trench, the nightmare would begin... Ma Heima gritted his teeth and cleared the first trench, and his own side had already suffered 500 casualties. The remaining people only killed a few Ming soldiers who were too slow to escape... However, this trench was still the simplest. In the middle of each subsequent trench, there were fishnets and fishing nets hung with sharp blades. mound.
The communication trenches used by the Ming army to withdraw had long been tightly blocked. Not knowing the terrain, Ma Heima did not dare to take the risk of letting the army go through the communication trenches that were narrow enough for the Ming army to guard the border with one man. Gritting his teeth, he led the warriors over the trench and rushed towards the second trench. However, the Ming army was already on guard. An unknown number of Ming soldiers were pouring bullets and arrows at the imperial warriors in the second trench. arrow.
What's even more troubling is that the seemingly disorganized fishing nets strung across the center by Akito... greatly hindered the warriors' marching speed. I don't know how many warriors got entangled in these annoying fishing nets and had to stop to tear them apart. The fishing net... and then, during the pause, it became a target for Akito's firearms and bows.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred warriors fell.
Ma Heima's face was no longer dark, but now it was turning white rapidly: that King Zhou of the Ming Dynasty was not only a fool, he was also an unparalleled famous general. This despicable but terrifying tactic he came up with was simply tailor-made for those terrifying firearms of the Ming army!
Even if the warriors broke through these fishing nets and entered the second trench, so what? The Ming army will continue to retreat, and he will once again be forced to disperse his troops to clean up, and then be harassed by the Ming army again. Only after leaving the bodies of many warriors can he occupy this section of the trench, and then rush out of the trench, charge, and be defeated. They were entangled in fishing nets, divided into groups to clean up, harassed, and then rushed out of the trenches... the cycle started over and over again.
How many troops are needed to force this small group of Akito into a decisive battle? You know, these Ming people dug far more than a dozen trenches!
What's more, the Ming troops in other areas were able to come together and occupy the trenches behind them, sandwiching them in the middle...
"Withdraw the troops! Withdraw the troops!" Ma Heima, who had turned pale and lost all courage, quickly gave the order. "Go back to camp, protect me quickly and return to camp!"
"That terrible Ming Dynasty King Zhou must be the main force of the Ming Dynasty! I want to ask my grandfather for help immediately..."
