Seeing that the situation in the sky was improving, Lan Xu, who had been paying attention to the effectiveness of the archers, became even more happy. It is worth mentioning that Lan Xu also noticed that some of the archers could shoot two arrows at a time and shoot two wing soldiers at the same time. Killing, those people's archery skills naturally deserve a big commendation, not to mention the credit they made.
He originally wanted to blame Fang Quyin for not training the crossbowmen well, but now with the performance of those archers, Lan Xu can no longer blame Fang Quyin for not doing things well. Unfortunately, the scene on the battlefield is too chaotic, and for the time being he cannot know who can. Who are the sharpshooters who fire two arrows at the same time?
"Marshal, it seems that the Star Army shot our soldiers who were driving the Winged Birds?" At the same time, in the smoky environment of the Winged Army, some generals still noticed that many Winged Birds were carrying empty bags. The basket goes away.
"That was done by the archers of the Star Army. I didn't expect there to be so many people who are good at archery in the Star Army." Ruan Qiling had long discovered the actions of the archery camp personnel behind the Star Army. Ruan Qiling was very surprised by the performance of those archers. If it weren't for the purpose of making it easier for the winged armies to attack the star army below, he would have let the winged birds fly higher in advance, so that the current situation might not occur. Fortunately, they used the winged birds to fly from high places. The surprise attack plan had achieved its purpose.
Judging from the situation on the battlefield, most of the Star Army has been affected by the Wing Bird surprise attack. Even though Lan Xu intentionally evacuated some people before, it still did not weaken the impact of the Wing Bird surprise attack on the entire Star Army. Recalling that the Star Kingdom cavalry had previously Ruan Qiling couldn't help but feel that the chaos caused by the Star Army to him was worse than the chaos they caused to the Star Army with the surprise attack of the Winged Bird.
Those cavalrymen still suffered many casualties under the attack of the Winged Birds, and even many of the horses were burned alive. The Star Army's mutual influence promoted the expansion of the chaos, and the impact on their own morale was incalculable. After a Winged Birds attack, As a result of the bird's surprise attack, the Star Army not only lost a lot of troops, but its original morale no longer existed.
Although the entire Arrow Battalion was still not participating in the battle, it could no longer affect the overall situation. Thinking of this, Ruan Qiling was sure that the time for them to counterattack the Star Army had officially arrived.
In fact, in the past period of time, the situation of the Star Army was just as Ruan Qiling saw. The cavalry in front had no way to face the attack from above. Moreover, because the horses were frightened and refused to obey orders, they ran rampant in all directions, making the cavalry more vulnerable to attacks. Since the appearance of the Winged Bird, the Star Kingdom cavalry has been in complete chaos, and it is difficult to even withdraw from the battlefield.
The reason why the Star Army cavalry was difficult to mobilize had a lot to do with the fact that they had gone too deep into the wing army's position. After the sea of fire was everywhere in the rear, there was no way to retreat. In a panic, some people went in and others went out. Running, under the impact of each other, the chaotic situation was difficult to contain, and some people kept stopping in one area and could not go anywhere.
Judging from the current situation, the Yi Army's clever strategy not only caught the Star Army by surprise, but also left the Star Army with no countermeasures. The situation has changed a lot. Now the winning trend is leaning toward the Yi Army. The main force of the Yi Army, which has been standing still, finally finally Wait until the time comes.
"There seems to be the sound of fighting over there." Just then, while walking in a forest, a general next to Lu Yunyou suddenly stopped and looked to their left.
"Let me take a look." Following General Li next to him, he unfolded the map and checked the location of everyone. After hearing the sound of fighting coming from the northwest, General Li quickly said, "That's the location of our army's camp."
"How far are we from the camp?" Seeing that they had arrived at the side of the camp, Liu Hongtao asked again: "Is there a direct link to the camp from here?"
"It's about two or three miles away, you can go directly there," General Li answered simply, fearing that he would make more mistakes and make Liu Hongtao even more dissatisfied.
"Before joining the war, I would like to confirm the situation over there." Since there was a forest next to him, he could only hear some faint sounds for the time being, so Liu Hongtao wanted to send someone to check out the specific situation there.
"General, the camp is only two miles away from the woods. As long as we walk northwest for less than a mile, we can reach the edge of the woods." Because he knew the environment around the camp, he didn't need to look at the map. You can also answer Liu Hongtao's question.
"General Zhu and General Qi go and have a look. I will lead the troops and continue on their way. Once you two find out the situation, you will rush back to join the army." After receiving General Li's reply, Liu Hongtao directly assigned two generals to check the situation. .
"General, take your orders," the next moment, Zhu Zizai and General Naqi agreed one after another, and then the two of them headed northwest. At the same time, Liu Hongtao continued to move forward with his army.
Not long after, General Zhu and General Qi came back and told Liu Hongtao what they saw.
"You said that there are ferocious birds above the battlefield, and there are signs of our army being attacked by fire?" After the two of them finished describing the situation on the battlefield, Liu Hongtao's eyes showed some worry and doubt.
"Exactly," General Qi explained with little effort: "General Zhu and I will never be mistaken. There are still ferocious birds carrying things flying towards us.
"Where do those ferocious birds come from?" Liu Hongtao asked again,
"Based on the location of the battlefield, those ferocious birds should be ferocious beasts tamed by Yijun," Zhu Zizai replied.
"Has Yi Jun already discovered our existence?" Liu Hongtao frowned and was a little worried.
"That's not true. The directions in which those ferocious birds fly are very confusing. Some fly to the south and north. As for what is going on, General Zhu and I can't understand." Shaking his head, General Qi hurriedly explained.
"General Li, how far is it to go around to the enemy's rear?" Liu Hongtao sighed, but still didn't quite understand the situation and looked directly at General Li.
"There are still about five miles to go. The battlefield is currently on our left. As long as we go a little further forward, we can quietly reach the enemy's rear through the woods." Being familiar with the route, it is not difficult for General Li to answer Liu Hongtao's question. .
"General Liu, according to General Qi's description, the current situation is very unfavorable to our army. Can we change the original plan and rush directly to the battlefield from the side for reinforcements?" After General Li finished speaking, a general named Wu Dangqiang immediately proposed to Liu Hongtao.
Immediately afterwards, those generals who felt that General Wu's proposal was reasonable looked at Liu Hongtao, waiting for Liu Hongtao's response.
Facing everyone's attention, Liu Hongtao kept thinking about General Wu's proposal. Now they were less than two miles away from the battlefield. Just by listening to the sound, they could tell how fierce the battle was. And considering that the current situation was not good for them, Liu Hongtao couldn't help but feel. in a hurry.
If the main force of the Star Army suffered too much loss because the reinforcements failed to arrive in time, then he would not be able to absolve himself of the blame anyway. After several battles, Liu Hongtao naturally understood the importance of timing, but now there were only a few steps left before they could reach the enemy's rear. Five miles away, if the original plan was changed, many of their previous efforts would be in vain. The most important thing was that he always felt that attacking the Yijun from one side would not be effective.
If they could only add a little strength to their own side, it would be better for them to go to the camp early in the morning to join the main force. So after thinking about it again and again, Liu Hongtao decided to implement the previous plan, but in the meantime, he also wanted to send two more skilled ones. People go to check the specific battle situation.
"The general has decided to continue to go around to the enemy's rear, and at the same time send people to check the situation. I wonder if any of you are willing to go to check the situation?" Liu Hongtao didn't give the generals a chance to question him at all, Liu Hongtao directly Give instructions in a decisive manner.
"I think it would be more appropriate to let Lieutenant General Lu go. Lieutenant General Lu's movements are so elusive that it will be difficult to be discovered if he hides his whereabouts, and his legs and feet are convenient and he can walk quickly." No one spoke yet, so Zhu Zizai directly recommended Lu Yunyou, and then, a All the generals looked at Lu Yunyou.
"I agree with General Zhu's proposal." Thinking of Lu Yunyou's skills, General Xing immediately agreed, followed by several other generals from the New Army who expressed their approval to send Lu Yunyou.
"Well, let Lieutenant General Lu and General Xing go together." After glancing at General Xing, Liu Hongtao's eyes stopped on Lu Yunyou: "Without further delay, you guys hurry up and report it immediately if there is an emergency. I will continue on my way with the army."
Acting decisively, Liu Hongtao directly ordered the two of them to go, without giving them any time to think about it.
"Yes," Lu Yunyou agreed together with General Xing. He admired Liu Hongtao's decisiveness in acting. He saw in Liu Hongtao the leadership ability of a general. Of course, now was not the time to admire Liu Hongtao. After meeting General Xing, the two of them directly Head towards the battlefield.
After the two left, Liu Hongtao continued to move forward with the troops who had taken a short rest. Now the Star Army was in good condition. After learning that they would be able to get behind the Yi Army soon, everyone from top to bottom started to fight. He cheered up, and a tense atmosphere before the war slowly formed.
