Chapter 130 Sunset Baita River(2/2)
The sound of strings being strung was as dense as the drizzle after spring.
Six hundred crossbows were staggered in two rows and concentrated on a narrow front of less than 400 steps. The Huaidong Army had never put so many crossbows into a local battlefield so densely before.
Six hundred crossbow heads made of fine iron, glowing with life-threatening light, were loaded into the crossbow slot.
The defenders in the defense line seemed to have sensed the fatal threat, and deliberately made a final struggle. They lowered the suspension bridge from the barracks and wanted to counterattack and attack the crossbow array. They saw the military commander on the flank of the crossbow array lowering his flag, and six hundred giant guns were fired.
The sound of the crossbow piercing the air almost tore the eardrums to shreds, and the howling cold wind was filled with the sharp sound of howling ghosts and wolves, and went towards the enemy camp wall in front of them.
The guards in front of the fence watched the giant crossbow coming through the air, as if covered by huge dark clouds. They forgot to turn around and run away, and just watched the huge hole in their bodies being opened by the giant crossbow. The power of the giant crossbow shooting through the air was so great.
, dozens, hundreds of giant crossbows were shot at the same time, and a section of the fence collapsed.
The section of the fence covered by the crossbows and the nearly two hundred defenders hiding behind the fence waiting to defend the fence were all wiped out in the blink of an eye.
Some people did not die immediately, or their shoulders, thighs, or chests and abdomen were pierced by giant crossbows, or their whole bodies were twitching and struggling on the nailed fence. The desperate howls shocked the hearts of the surrounding defenders and intensified the fear in their hearts.
The guards who were about to attack the Huaidong Army's crossbow formation were even more frightened. They looked at the general behind them in panic, hoping that he would take back his life and lead everyone to escape from the death zone in front of them.
The bed crossbow was quickly re-cocked and loaded with arrows, and launched a second wave of attacks on the defense line in front of the Baita River. This attack was specifically aimed at blocking the long trench suspension bridge where the defenders wanted to leave the barracks to counterattack.
There were more than a thousand defenders who were crowding in front of the trench bridge and preparing to attack. After being covered by crossbow arrows, it was like a big horn was knocked down. Nearly 400 people were directly nailed to the open space behind the suspension bridge. More In some cases, three or four people were pierced by a crossbow arrow at the same time. Such a cruel fight immediately caused the remaining people to collapse. They completely ignored the suppression of the military law team and fled backward to avoid the death zone sealed by the crossbow arrows.
There was more than one channel for the enemy to counterattack, but the two groups of enemy troops that crossed the Baita River from the camp and launched a counterattack against Huaidong's army looked so weak and pitiful.
Chen Zhi stood on the chariot watching the entire battlefield and ignored the enemy troops who came out of the camp to counterattack. Only the brigade general Li Baidao sent his armored soldiers to intercept them in the front line and decisively defeated them.
