The long crossbow arrows are shot out quickly. As long as they hit the vital position, they can kill a ferocious beast directly. The ferocious beasts hit by the crossbow arrows fell down and rolled one after another after letting out a scream. Some of them were gone. climb up.
Immediately afterwards, a rain of arrows fell, hitting some of the wing soldiers in the rear. Those wing soldiers were seen holding up shields and using weapons to resist, but many people still fell under the dense rain of arrows. When the Star Army archers launched a second round of attacks, more Wings fell.
In just two rounds of attacks, dozens of ferocious beasts were killed by crossbows, and hundreds of wing soldiers were killed by bows and arrows.
The ferocious beasts ran so fast that in a blink of an eye they were less than fifty meters away from the Star Army. At this time, there were still half of the number left. Time was running out, and the person responsible for launching the crossbows began to make the final round of attacks.
After nearly a hundred crossbow arrows were shot out, a dozen more ferocious beasts fell down in the blink of an eye. At the same time, a rain of arrows fell, and the Yi army once again suffered a large number of casualties. At this moment, all the archers and crossbow gunners were called to evacuate. After the order was given, they all retreated from the corridor vacated by the rear personnel. After they successfully evacuated, some cavalry and infantry quickly moved forward to fill the vacancy.
"Kill," facing the remaining ferocious beasts, the Star Army cavalry could not wait any longer. With Zhang boldly giving an order, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed out.
Hundreds of ballista vehicles were quickly pushed to the rear of the array by the Star Army. In order not to affect the battle between the two armies, the ballista vehicles had to be completely withdrawn to the rear of the army.
"Charge," amidst the passionate drums, following the cavalry, the first few rows of infantry rushed out with weapons. Facing the ferocious beasts that were greatly reduced in number, but still charging towards them, the Star Army felt that There is not much fear left.
In addition, the Star Army's battle plan is relatively clear. Those ferocious beasts will have dedicated people to deal with them, and others only need to attack the wing troops who follow the ferocious beasts.
After a blockade, there are now less than thirty ferocious beasts with fighting power. The number is within the expectations of Lan Xu and the generals. At this moment, Lan Xu and some generals who are watching the battle from a high place are not worried about the ferocious beasts attacking them. How much trouble they cause.
In a short while, the remaining ferocious beasts met the Star Army generals and the Thousand Captains first. Those ferocious beasts, which were as powerful as seventh-level martial arts cultivators and were huge in size, were originally difficult to deal with. However, under the siege of the Star Army generals and the Thousand Captains, They died one after another, unable to have much impact on the ordinary Star Army. After passing those ferocious beasts, the Star Army's cavalry continued to charge forward.
"Ding Ding Dang," After the two armies met, the long -accumulated anger broke out directly.
The battle-hardened Star Army and the Yi Army who wanted revenge instantly came to blows. They fought fiercely from the beginning. Screams were heard one after another. The Wing Army fell one after another, and another Wing Army rushed over from behind. , the battle has just begun, and the two armies are already similar in terms of momentum, but it is obvious that the Star Army's combat power is stronger than that of the Wing Army.
The battle line continued to advance towards the Yi Army. If those ferocious beasts did not have a certain impact on the Star Army's charge, the Star Army would advance the front faster.
Not long after, the battle situation became one-sided. The wing army was unable to match the sharpness of the Star Army cavalry, resulting in numerous casualties. Lan Xu, who was watching the battle from a high place, could think of all the negative consequences that the two ferocious beast attacks would have on his own morale as long as he maintained his advantage for a period of time. The influence will disappear. After that, the morale of the Star Army will become stronger and stronger, and then there will no longer be any suspense about the outcome of this war.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer ferocious beasts alive on the battlefield, the eyes of Lan Xu, Fang Quyin and others lost a little solemnity.
"The wing army failed to use the ferocious beasts to damage the morale of our army. Now it is difficult to stop our army. When the remaining soldiers of our cavalry battalion are outflanked from both wings, victory or defeat is only a matter of time." According to the situation at hand, Zhang boldly said directly Extrapolate the end result and speak with confidence.
"General Zhang, don't judge too early. In my opinion, Yijun is not as easy to deal with as it looks." If it is true as Zhang boldly said, they are indeed sure of victory, but Fang Quyin, like Lan Xu, has never thought that things are so Simple, in his opinion, Yijun must have some important means that are useless.
"General Fang is overly worried. Yijun and our army have already started fighting head-on. Is there any other tricks they can pull off?" Unlike Fang Quyin, who was as suspicious as Zhang Dadan always had a pragmatic attitude.
Lan Xu and the generals on the side certainly hoped that Zhang's bold guess was correct, but they had to consider the possibility mentioned by Fang Quyin. If the Yijun really had some means to catch them off guard, it would probably be a big blow to them. The situation has had a great impact.
"General Yi Fang, what kind of backup strategies does the enemy have?" To be cautious, Lan Xu wanted to ask Fang Quyin for his opinion.
"I don't know the end," Fang Quyin shook his head helplessly. Fang Quyin couldn't think of any other strategies Yijun could use.
"General Fang, doesn't that mean you didn't say anything? It would be bad if you continue to make random guesses and delay the fight!" As the number one general of the Star Army, Zhang DaDa tried his best to show his talent.
"General Zhang, do you think Fang is someone who likes to talk nonsense?" A flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and Fang Qing responded directly: "Yi Jun's methods have always been difficult to predict, and you have to guard against it. Even if you don't, Fang Qing It’s just too much worry.”
"General Zhang, don't blame General Fang wrongly. I also think that General Fang's words are reasonable. I still need to consider in detail whether Yijun has other plans." Recalling the scene of his previous conversation with Ruan Qiling, Lan Xu always felt that Ruan Qiling There must be some conspiracy.
Combined with Fang Quyin's statement, he gradually felt that Ruan Qiling's method of dealing with them was not as simple as using ferocious beasts to undermine their morale.
If Ruan Qiling really has a follow-up plan, then they must come up with countermeasures in advance, but the key point is just as Fang Quyin said, Ruan Qiling's tricks are incredible. If they follow common sense, it may be difficult for them to deduce the correct answer. If they don't follow common sense, They have no clue, unless they can think of a perfect strategy that can be used to deal with any means of the Yi army.
In fact, in this regard, he had discussed this with the generals before, but in the end he did not think of any foolproof plan. The final result of the discussion was to wait for the opportunity to act. Now it seems that the time has come to wait for the opportunity to act.
"Regardless of the enemy's specific plan, what if after a while, the enemy uses a plan to catch our army off guard and even cause our army to be defeated?" After coming back to his senses, Lan Xu realized that they needed them right now. Tell the problems that were dealt with in a timely manner.
"I don't know the last general." He couldn't even determine what strategy the enemy was going to use, so naturally he couldn't think of any countermeasures. Even if Fang Quyin understood what Lan Xu meant, he couldn't do anything about it.
On the other side, seeing Lan Xu also mentioning the possibility of unexpected situations, Zhang Bingdao no longer questioned Fang Quyin's previous statement. After all, he had also experienced many battles, and the battle situation could change at any time. He understands it deeply.
"Marshal, half of our army is still untouched. Can we use those troops to ensure the safety of our army at the critical moment?" After thinking about it, Zhang Dadan finally came up with an idea.
"Although General Zhang's idea is good, it's just that the enemy army outnumbers our army. If tens of thousands of soldiers are left behind, I'm afraid our army will not be able to surround and kill all the enemy troops." After careful analysis, Fang Quyin directly denied Zhang Bingdao's idea. proposal.
"How about leaving the archers alone?" There are currently 30,000 archers in the Star Army. The number is very objective. Under normal circumstances, in the middle of the battle, the archers also need to participate in the battle. Now Zhang's bold idea is to completely combine the three Ten thousand archers were separated from the entire army. In this way, as long as all cavalry and infantry participated in the battle, they did not have to worry about the disparity in strength.
"This plan is feasible." Because he felt that dispatching another 20 to 30,000 people would be enough to defeat the Yi Army, Lan Xu immediately agreed to Zhang's bold proposal.
"What's the use of leaving 30,000 archers?" She also felt that Zhang's bold proposal was feasible, but Fang Quyin still had some doubts about how their archer battalion soldiers could play a role at critical moments.
If archers cannot be used as a backup force to deal with unexpected situations, it is better to join the battle in advance. After all, their previous plan included the need for archers to participate in the battle.
Fang Quyin's problem is also something Zhang DaDa is considering. As we all know, once a melee breaks out between the two armies, the archers' bows will lose their effect. However, the melee capabilities of archers are generally very poor and cannot be compared with infantry and cavalry. Most of the time they can only serve as numbers, so how to make the archers effective requires them to think carefully first.
