Chapter two hundred and eighty fifth counterattack
"This... can be beaten!"
Chen Ze, who was watching the embarrassing scene in the enemy camp on the tower, couldn't help but open his eyes wide with a look of astonishment on his face.
Is this too relaxed?
In the catapult salvo just now, he received the system reward for his achievements in real time, totaling more than 300,000!
This means that at least 30,000 soldiers on the opposite side died under the bombing of catapults.
This is just a salvo!
Chen Ze's original assumption was that it would not be easy for this salvo to be successfully fired. After all, the two sides were separated by more than two miles.
With such a long distance, even a blind person would be able to detect something amiss and respond accordingly, right?
However, their response was just to light a torch.
Oh, the fire emitted by this torch is of no use now, because there are fierce burning flames everywhere in the camp. Some tents are set alight, and some people are set alight.
response?
What's the response?
Chen Ze could see clearly, but Li Quan'an below might not be able to see that clearly. But before Chen Ze's order came, Cheng Yu, who was good at seizing opportunities, had already issued a new order through Li Quan'an.
The whole army advances!
That was really an advance, and his soldiers began to push the catapult crazily, moving further forward.
The volley just now only hit the outside of the enemy camp. If we push forward a hundred steps further, if the loaded catapult fires another volley, it will have to hit the center of the enemy camp directly, destroying the personnel.
The most dense area!
Just like Chen Ze's stunned thoughts, Li Quan'an's thoughts at this moment were also those three words: I can fight!
He went out of the city to attack the enemy with a desperate attitude. He originally just wanted to create some opportunities for Xu Qing. Who would have thought that this plan might have to be changed. If there was another round of volleys, not to mention Chen Ze, even Li Quan'an would have the confidence to directly
Defeat or even defeat your opponents!
You must know that the one in front is Zhao Yun. After being hit by two volleys of catapults, the enemy cannot gather their troops in a short time. How can they withstand Zhao Yun's charge?
The 50,000-strong army was well-organized and the elite cavalry with high morale faced the enemy who was panic-stricken and stunned. Even if the opponent's number was several times that of our own, so what?
There will definitely be no suspense about the outcome!
"Quick, push forward!"
Li Quan'an, just like Meng Yang before him, kept pinching his head and directed the catapult to move towards his ideal assembly point.
Still... thirty steps left!
Even after possessing Cheng Yu, Li Quan'an's temperament became much calmer. At this time, his heart could not help but start beating violently. He understood deeply that as long as this attack was successful, the crisis in Xifeng City would be resolved immediately.
!
Even if reinforcements arrive from the other side afterwards, the tragic situation of the leading troops is right in front of them. In any case, the followers will be worried and they will not be able to pose a substantial threat to Xifeng City.
After all this time, our reinforcements have arrived. By then, what else do we have to fear?
Twenty steps!
In the blink of an eye as Li Quan'an thought, the catapult moved forward another ten steps, only twenty steps away from where he expected to attack!
Meng Yang also returned to his team and was ready with all the cavalry.
Chen Ze naturally had an order passed to him at this time. Compared with having the cavalry rush into the sea of fire and massacre, naturally the catapult could cause more damage to the opponent. At this time, his mission was no longer to charge and kill the enemy.
, but try our best to ensure the safety of the catapult troops!
But it seems that there is no crisis that needs him to deal with?
Meng Yang was on alert when suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw a stone thrown diagonally above his head.
Have they arrived at the scheduled location?
The thought was only halfway through his mind when Meng Yang's expression suddenly changed drastically!
This stone was not thrown from behind, but from the opposite side!
From the enemy camp!
"Be careful, hide quickly!"
His reaction was also extremely fast. As soon as he noticed something was wrong, he immediately shouted back and roared loudly.
The stone thrown on the opposite side was not ignited with kerosene. Although the sea of fire below almost lit up half of the sky, thanks to the dim sky, the stone thrown high into the sky still only left a faint afterimage, which was almost undetectable.
.
And there are so many of them...
"rush!"
Meng Yang raised the bright silver gentian gun in his hand and ordered all the cavalry to charge forward.
This is also a helpless move. At this moment, it is too late to ask the cavalry to disperse. Only by rushing forward can most soldiers escape and avoid suffering a heavier blow.
Yes, the catapults were attacking the cavalry troops gathered in front of them. The opponent did not have the same super long-range catapults as they did, and could not attack the catapult troops behind them, but...
"stop!"
Li Quan'an also opened his eyes angrily at this moment and shouted urgently to order the troops to stop moving forward.
Ten steps!
Only ten steps away!
These ten steps are the best attack position in Li Quan'an's mind, but at this time, they are also the most intensive landing points for the opponent's stones!
boom!
The ground was shaking. It was not known whether it was the shock caused by the collective forward charge of Meng Yang's cavalry or the intensive falling of stones.
I can only hear that at this moment, in addition to the trembling of the earth, people are roaring in pain, and horses are also neighing, but this time, it is Meng Yang's side who is flipping over.
After all, it's still a bit slow.
How could a human move faster than a stone that had already been ejected into the air? Not to mention how many of the cavalrymen were in a state of daze under Meng Yang's order and had no time to make a forward gesture.
Not everyone noticed the faint afterimage in the dim sky.
"asshole!"
Meng Yang's eyes were about to burst. He was undoubtedly the fastest reacting person in the group. After rushing forward to avoid the stone-throwing attack, he looked back and was instantly furious.
Behind him are his brothers!
The cavalrymen at the end of the team were completely unaware of the approaching crisis. When Meng Yang shouted, some followed him and rushed forward a few steps, while others stayed where they were.
However, regardless of whether they were forward or not, they were still within the attack range of the opponent's catapult. This round of hits was the one that suffered the most serious damage.
In an instant, thousands of brothers were killed and injured, and countless more fell to the ground wailing in pain.
The only consolation is that the incident happened suddenly, and the opponent did not have time to prepare as well as their catapult troops, and did not pour kerosene on the catapults, so that the burning flames would not cause more fierce secondary damage.
But this still made Mengyang intolerable.
He brought these people out, and it is his responsibility to bring them back again.
When did Meng Yang lead his troops to suffer such heavy casualties?
