More than a dozen large rocks rolled down the slope from the top of the mountain, bringing with them billows of dust and smoke. The roaring sound almost shook the earth.
The camp of the Xirong cavalry was at the foot of the mountain. Such a movement caused many people to run out and look left and right, with expressions of horror and confusion on their faces.
"What's wrong!? What happened!" A soldier general shouted.
"Is the earth shaking?"
"No...I don't know..."
"Ah! On the mountain! On the mountain!"
There was a cry of terror from behind, and the Xirong soldiers subconsciously turned around and looked up. For a moment, their eyes widened.
The huge rolling stone is coming with the momentum to destroy everything!
"General, be careful!"
"Run! Run quickly——"
Screams were heard everywhere, but the rolling stones took advantage of the slope and rushed into all parts of the camp.
The tents of each camp were shattered in an instant, and the Xirong soldiers who had not yet come out were directly crushed past, and their momentum was not reduced, and they smashed into the crowd.
How many people were hit by boulders and bled to death, and how many were crushed into meat patties.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Howls, screams, and the neighing of horses filled the whole place.
These dozen large rocks rolled down horizontally and smashed into them one after another, which was equivalent to directly destroying the Xirong cavalry camp. In the chaos, the survivors did not need to shout, and the survivors had already begun to flee. Some people rode on War horses, some people are desperate and just want to escape from this rockfall area.
The Qin army unexpectedly appeared behind them. This was something they never expected. Such an attack and staying here would be no different than seeking death.
Two thousand elite cavalry suffered hundreds of casualties under the impact of rolling rocks. The rest of the troops had long since lost their organization and became a mess.
On the periphery, Chen Hui naturally heard the movement and knew that it was a small group of strange soldiers on the mountain launching an attack. Excited and excited, he immediately raised his hand: "Get ready!"
Following his order, the sound of uniform armor clashing was heard. A large number of Qin soldiers loaded their bows with arrows, half-crouched in the front row, and pointed their crossbows forward in unison.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Xirong cavalry to rush over in chaos, still in a panic, and the sound of horse hooves and strange screams could be heard.
"Fire the arrow!"
With a command, a large number of sharp arrows shot out, densely packed, coming toward you!
Plop, plop!
In just an instant, a large number of the Xirong soldiers on horseback were shot over. Some of them waved their scimitars and blocked randomly.
After one round of arrow shooting, Qin's soldiers staggered forward, half-crouching in the front row, and fired another round.
Before they could even get close, I don't know how many people had fallen off their horses.
But the current situation did not allow the Xirong cavalry to think too much. The arrow shot did not stop their charge. However, as the horses were galloping, a rope suddenly appeared on the ground and stretched instantly.
At such a speed, the horse's legs were tripped, and the horse fell to the ground and neighed loudly. The Xirong soldiers on the horse were directly thrown away, losing their fighting ability on the spot.
When the front pounced, the war horse fell to the ground, and the cavalry who followed behind them fell on their backs. The scene was not to mention how chaotic it was.
Chen Hui drew out his sword and said, "Brothers! Charge!"
After shouting, he was the first to rush out.
"Kill--"
The Qin soldiers behind them all raised their halberds and launched a full-scale charge.
The sound of drums shook the sky, and the mountains and fields were covered with black armor and red tassels. As soon as they came up, they were stabbed with long halberds.
The Xirong cavalry had already been subdued, and with blood splattered on them, there was no way they could fight back.
There is no suspense about the next battle.
More than an hour later, the Qin army camped.
Chen Hui strode in with a lot of blood stains on his armor. As soon as he came in, he clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "General! The last general has wiped out all the Xirong cavalry! Capture Shifengling!"
"Okay!" Yang Heng was delighted, and the faces of the generals also burst with joy.
After praising Chen Hui without hesitation, he looked around and said seriously: "The enemy's elite are dead now. We don't have much time left on the battlefield of Black Rock City. We must break through this place within three days! And! Establish a favorable military defense line before enemy reinforcements arrive."
It is not easy to defeat a city in three days. The lieutenant general said worriedly: "Although our army defeated the enemy twice in this battle, according to military information, there are at least 6,000 Western soldiers in Blackstone City. We must defeat this city within three days." The city must be fought in bloody battles and attacked day and night."
"Don't worry." Yang Heng glanced at him and said: "Based on the battlefield situation, I have seen through the shortcomings of the previous siege. The Xirong soldiers had obvious deficiencies in the defense of the city. They lacked tactical command, and in terms of ordnance, Above, his weapons are dull and blunt, and his bows and crossbows are weak. Compared with their length, our soldiers are better at attacking tough battles."
"Moreover, Black Stone is not as solid as the Central Plains cities. Their city walls are mostly made of stones and do not have the foundation for military buildings. We can suppress them with arrow arrays and use trebuchets to attack their weak points. Wherever you go, you will be able to open a gap."
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
The next day, the Qin army came to Blackstone City.
The 40,000-strong army was arranged into four neat square formations. Between each formation, messengers galloped back and forth on horseback.
He is equipped with a vertical shield and a halberd like a forest.
Such a military appearance and a strong sense of oppression were something General Blackstone had never seen before. He was located at the top of the city. He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Have all our cavalry been killed?"
"That's right." The deputy general lowered his head.
"It's all your fault!" Blackstone Guardsman launched into a nameless rage: "If you hadn't suggested this, how could you have damaged the elites!"
"This, this, I didn't expect that Shifengling would be captured so quickly. I thought I could hold on until the reinforcements arrived..."
"What to do now! The Qin army is about to attack the city! How to hold on!?"
The guard general began to anger the deputy general, but the Qin army outside the city had already changed.
The trebuchets one after another were pushed forward by the soldiers.
Under the shouts, the flags waved, and the messengers began to gallop back and forth on their horses.
"Arrow formation ready!"
"Arrow array preparation——"
Wow! Wow!
There was a uniform sound of armor scraping together, and the four square formations and the soldiers in the front row bent their bows and loaded arrows, drew them to full length, and pointed diagonally upward.
"Fire the arrow!"
Ling Qi fiercely waved his forward finger.
Buzz!
Thousands of arrows fired!
The bowstrings twitched in unison, seeming to tear the air apart.
At that moment, it was like a black cloud, rushing upwards, dense arrows gathered together, covering the sun in the sky, and countless black spots swept down!
The Xirong soldiers on the city defense had never seen such an arrow formation before. They all looked up at the sky with frightened expressions on their faces, as if they were stunned.
But the arrow array has arrived in an instant.
Plop, plop!
The sound of an arrow entering flesh was heard instantly, mixed with one after another miserable howls.
As long as the Xirong soldiers were standing, every one of them was shot into a hedgehog.
With a crackling sound, it hit the bricks and stones, shot into the cracks of the rocks, and was nailed to the wooden stakes, and the tail of the arrow trembled wildly.
Black arrows were scattered all over the city defenses, which was shocking.
This is so scary!
