"Follow your orders!" Tens of thousands of Qilin Guards immediately divided into ten charging teams, and they began to rush in different directions of the catapults!
After seeing this, Qi Haobi smiled coldly, "Defense! We must not let these bastards touch the catapult!"
"Yes!" The more than 20,000 shield-hands on the ground immediately turned into a dozen square formations, using shields to form a shield wall. The formation was very meticulous and the defense was airtight!
"The cavalry charges and hunts down the Qilin Guards on the other side of the formation!" Qi Haobi shouted loudly.
"Follow your orders!" The enemy's 20,000 cavalry immediately rushed forward and began to circle around a dozen trebuchets. They used their war horses to form a protective barrier outside the shield bearers. They were particularly sensitive to these dozen trebuchets. Pay attention!
Seeing the enemy's formation, Tan Beiping was very angry. Not only did he have such powerful weapons, but he also had so many troops. It was indeed a hard nut to crack. At present, there was no other way but to break the enemy's defense. Then, Crack these trebuchets "You bastards, kill...!"
"Kill!" Ten teams charged towards the enemy in different formations. In the blink of an eye, the cavalry from both sides were fighting together. Swords, guns, swords and halberds and various long weapons were engaging in close combat. The sound of steel clashing became part of the night sky. A soul song, the sparks of light are the beacon on this battlefield. Both sides have been preparing for a long time. This moment is the moment of desperate effort!
"Let go!" Following Qi Haobi's order, more than a dozen catapults threw boulders again. These boulders, carrying angry flames, cut through the dark night sky and fell on the enemy's position again!
"Quickly get out of the way, retreat and escape, and get out of the forest!" Bai Zhi shouted loudly! The Qilin Guards and the Far East Army had been preparing for a long time. When they saw the boulder flying over from the opposite side, everyone left as quickly as possible!
[Bang bang bang...! 】After two rounds of smashing, this forest has become riddled with holes, and there are flames everywhere, and there is no time to extinguish it!
When Tan Beiping saw that his position was being attacked again, he glared and gritted his teeth, "Kill them all! We must destroy this piece of shit!"
Seeing that their position was being attacked again, the Qilin Guards roared angrily and accelerated their charge. The Miao Dao in their hands was like a meat grinder as they charged towards the enemy crazily!
Needless to say, the bravery of the Qilin Guards is natural, but the opponent's strength is indeed sufficient, with 20,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, fighting against 10,000 Qilin Guards. Even though the Qilin Guards are anxious again and again, their attack effect is obviously not good! Seeing that your broken machine is right in front of you, but you can't attack it for a long time!
On the opposite side of the battlefield, Bai Zhi shook her head, feeling dizzy. "How are you guys? Are you all okay?"
"It's nothing serious, brothers are hiding!" Xiaoya shouted!
"That's good! Keep shooting! Cover General Tan!"
"Yes! Archers, shoot!" Xiaoya shouted!
This time, three thousand Qilin Guards rushed over. They put all the anger in their hearts on the arrows in their hands. They pulled the bowstring and released it instantly!
【Whoosh whoosh whoosh...! 】Thousands of arrows fell directly on the enemy's position! But this time the arrows worked. At this moment, the shield bearers and cavalry on the opposite side were fighting against the Qilin Guards, and there was no defense against the sky. After this round of salvos, more than 2,000 people were directly reimbursed, most of them were ground shield bearers. !
The Qilin Guards were not afraid of this. The soft armor on their bodies could effectively defend against the arrows of their own people. When Tan Beiping saw nearly two hundred shield bearers fell in front of him, he immediately saw the opportunity and said, "Follow me!"
Tan Beiping shouted, holding the Miao knife tightly with both hands, and then led the men to charge towards one of the trebuchets. Because the shields on the ground were reduced, the defense around the trebuchet was very weak. Coupled with Tan Beiping's bravery, he quickly rushed to it. Beneath the trebuchet!
At this moment, the enemy soldiers on the edge of the trebuchet drew their weapons and rushed towards Tan Beiping!
Tan Beiping raised his Miao knife and kept slashing at the soldiers. "Quick, throw the tung oil!"
"Yes!" Two Qilin Guards took two barrels of tung oil and threw them directly at the trebuchet [Pop! 】After two crisp sounds, the barrel shattered instantly, and all the tung oil inside was poured onto the trebuchet!
"ignition!"
A fire stick was thrown out, and when the tung oil met the open flame, the flames boiled instantly. This trebuchet
He immediately becomes the most handsome boy on the enemy battlefield, and his whole body glows with brilliant fire!
"Trash!" Zhu Tianyou, who was standing on the top of the mountain, saw this scene and was so angry that he almost vomited blood. "Can't you guard against so many people? Quickly, send out 10,000 more cavalry and be sure to kill these Qilin Guards." In front of the formation!"
"Command! Charge!" Following the order, more than 10,000 cavalry charged quickly!
Seeing this trebuchet being ignited, Tan Beiping was very excited and finally destroyed one. When Tan Beiping was about to lead his men to continue attacking other trebuchets, he saw that the changes on the battlefield far exceeded his own. imagination!
The 10,000 Qilin Guards he brought with him were all but few left after the brutal battle with the enemy. As the enemy added 10,000 cavalry, after a round of charge, the number of Qilin Guards was already less than 2,000!
After paying such a high price, only one trebuchet was destroyed. This feeling of a drop in the bucket made Tan Beiping very angry. "Withdraw!" Although he didn't want to shout this word, he had no other choice now!
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Qilin Guard shouted!
After all the Qilin Guards received the order, they quickly began to retreat from the enemy's positions. As the Qilin Guards retreated in an orderly manner, the enemy's positions also became quiet!
"Hahaha... What Qilin Guards? What elites? Aren't they just a bunch of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" Qi Haobi raised his head and laughed! "Keep playing!"
"Yes!" The third batch of flaming boulders flew across the sky and smashed into the woods opposite. At this moment, the forest on the opposite side as a barrier had become incomplete. It should not be called a forest, but a plain of fire!
When Tan Beiping came back with all his men, he saw that the woods in front of him no longer existed, and there were only more than 1,500 Qilin Guards left behind him! Eight thousand five hundred people destroyed a trebuchet, and Tan Beiping felt very painful!
Bai Zhi rushed over quickly, "General Tan, how are you?"
"I'm fine! But this... what should I do next?" Tan Beiping looked at the woods in front of him, then at his troops, and thought to himself, Lord, Lord, where are you? Not that I’m afraid, but I really can’t bear it!
Bai Zhi looked at the other side. The other side didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, so she said loudly, "Let's retreat half a kilometer first, and then discuss again. This place can't be defended anymore. Let's go!" After Bai Zhi said this, she swung the reins and evacuated immediately!
Tan Beiping sighed helplessly, then turned around, swung the reins, and led his men to evacuate!
"Report to the general, the enemy has evacuated!" A soldier ran to Qi Haobi and shouted!
"Hmph! They hope that they can block the path of their adoptive father, so they ordered the entire army to push the trebuchets and continue to advance! If they encounter the enemy, they will directly use the trebuchets to break the formation!" Qi Haobi said loudly.
"Yes! Attack with the whole army!"
Then only tens of thousands of people began to move forward, and the huge trebuchets also moved forward slowly under the pull of horses and manpower!
At this moment, Li Hanrui, who was sitting on the city wall, saw a fire in the distance and frowned. He had a bad premonition in his heart. The soldiers on the side came over and said, "General, there seems to be a war outside the capital!"
Li Hanrui said nothing, looking at the horizon in the distance, wondering what was going on ahead. "Prepare your horses!"
"But General?"
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm not dead yet!" Li Hanrui shouted loudly.
"Yes!" A soldier rushed outside quickly!
Bai Zhi, Tan Biliang and others retreated half a kilometer and stopped on a flat ground. Tan Beiping turned around and looked behind him. The enemy's attack mainly relied on trebuchets. It is estimated that they would also have to use that thing to attack the capital. The entire march was very long. So slow!
"I didn't expect the enemy to bring such a large weapon. What should we do next?" Qin Fangyu said anxiously.
"Our heavy weapons are all with the Duke, otherwise we wouldn't be able to tolerate them being so presumptuous!" Tan Beiping said loudly.
"But what should we do now?" Bai Zhi also looked confused.
Tan Beiping looked around. At this moment, there were less than 20,000 Qilin Guards left, and the Far East Army seemed
There are still more than 30,000 troops. The total strength of both sides is still 50,000. But what to do when facing the dozen behemoths on the opposite side?
At this time, I only heard the sound of horse hooves, and then Li Hanrui came to the battlefield with more than a dozen followers. Seeing all the tens of thousands of troops retreating here, Li Hanrui knew in his heart that something must have happened!
"Second General, you are here!" Tan Beiping said.
"What happened? Why did you retreat here?" Li Hanrui asked.
Tan Beiping hurriedly explained everything. After Li Hanrui heard it, he was also surprised, "The other party actually prepared a catapult?"
"Yes, we can't resist it now. Second General, what do you think we should do?" Tan Beiping asked.
Li Hanrui looked at all the soldiers around him, and his face became very ugly. He looked into the distance and knew that the enemy would arrive soon. If he could not stop these dozen trebuchets, the capital would be in trouble!
Li Hanyan's expression became very serious, "There is no way to stop these trebuchets, but... we need people!"
"You don't have this, do you? You can use it as you like!" Tan Beiping shouted.
"I'm talking about dead soldiers!" Li Hanrui gritted his teeth and said.
A dead soldier means that you will definitely not survive if you do this mission. To be honest, no matter who is a soldier, it is just to make a living. After being successful, you can leave some salary for your family. No one wants to die! Everyone knows that only those who survive the war can get promotions and salary increases!
Tan Beiping laughed when he heard this, "Second General, you don't understand Qilin Guard at all. If brothers are afraid of death, who would come here? To be honest, you don't know that the brothers around me all survived the Henan flood." Those who came down have already experienced life and death a long time ago. If you don’t care about this, just tell me what you should do!”
"That's right! When I went to burn the enemy's trebuchet, I had no intention of living. It's just bad luck that I'm still alive now!"
"Yeah! Ten thousand brothers go out, and we come back with more than a thousand. It's really too much!"
"If you ask me, let's just hold the tung oil and rush to the opposite side. We can run wherever we can. If we can't burn the trebuchet, we will burn those bastards on the opposite side!"
"Hahaha...!" A moment of respite allowed these Qilin Guards to enjoy their misery!
Li Hanrui took a deep breath, "Give me a thousand dead men, and I will command this battle!"
"No problem! I count as one!" Tan Beiping shouted loudly.
"No! You are the last general of the Qilin Guard now. If something happens to you, who will take command in the future?" Bai Zhi shouted!
"You can do this!"
"I know you want to be generous, but you have to know that even if the enemy's trebuchet is destroyed, the battle is not over. They have an uncountable army, and we may not be able to defend it!"
Tan Beiping wanted to say something else, but a Qilin Guard came over and patted Tan Beiping on the shoulder, "General, don't grab the credit here. After this task is completed, even if the brothers are no longer here, they can still contribute to the family." I’ve left twenty taels of housing allowance, but it’s not your turn to do this good thing!”
"That's right! I've never seen twenty taels in my life! Show me then!"
Li Hanrui was moved when he saw the group of Qilin Guards in front of him. They were really a group of tough men. "Listen to my orders below. The Far Eastern Army must dig a deep trench, three feet high and one foot wide, immediately!"
"Yes!" Qin Fangyu immediately shouted, "Everyone must dig deep ditches!"
"Follow your orders!" More than 30,000 people started digging deep trenches on the spot. They were divided into three groups of people to dig three deep trenches. Each group had more than 10,000 people. With more people, things can be done faster! Soon three deep grooves appeared on the flat ground!
On the other side, Li Hanrui arranged for thousands of Qilin Guards to prepare for battle and told them how to destroy the enemy's trebuchet. After hearing this, these Qilin Guards all showed serious expressions!
