Chapter 322 Hole Cards
What is preemptive strike?
Yan Haomiao now understood the meaning of this sentence deeply.
Regardless of whether the opponent did it intentionally or unintentionally, or whether he made an operational error, this volley of stones fell on his head.
It makes no sense!
Yan Haomiao couldn't wait to yell, "What the hell kind of command is this!"
Leave the soldiers who are about to rush under the wall alone and attack the catapult troops in the rear that are not yet a threat?
No, the opponent should not be able to see where his catapult troops are at all!
It's night now!
Although the fortifications were brightly lit, his troops would not have the manpower to light a torch when attacking. This was not necessary at all.
Their goal is just the fortifications. As long as there is firelight in front of them to guide them, they can just charge directly. Under the cover of night, it is actually harder for the other party to observe their movements, which can be said to be more advantageous.
As the saying goes, it's dark under the lamp. Looking from the opponent's city wall, their side is completely dark. Not to mention the catapult troops further away, even the stormtroopers who are charging hard, they may not be able to see clearly.
.
So, was this round of volley fired deliberately, or was there something wrong with the angle of the catapult? Instead, it caused the opponent to miss the target and destroyed his catapult unit.
"damn it!"
Yan Haomiao was lying on the ground, with angry flames shooting out of his eyes. This time he lost so unjustly, he almost killed the old master with a blind fist, but by chance, he was seriously injured.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Lin Xiangyong himself had blood on his face, but he didn't bother to check his own injuries. Instead, he paid attention to Yan Haomiao's condition first.
Fortunately, his pounce was very timely. Yan Haomiao looked embarrassed, but at least his whole body was still intact and he did not suffer any major damage.
However, the psychological blow was far heavier than the physical injuries.
"Attack! Attack me!"
Yan Haomiao, extremely angry, pushed Lin Xiangyong away and roared at the soldiers in front who were looking back to check the situation on his side: "I gave my life in exchange for the opportunity. Anyone who dares to lose the chain will be killed!"
Yes, I did pay for it with my life.
The attack frequency of the catapult is limited. This round has just been fought, and it will not come again so soon. Taking advantage of this gap, it is the best time for Bai Lie's army to attack.
If he misses it, his round of beating will be in vain!
Until this moment, Yan Haomiao still didn't notice anything different about the situation, but was just sighing secretly about his bad luck. He had a good opportunity, but was defeated by the opponent's unreasonable round of attacks.
Apart from being angry, I can only say bad luck.
However, little did he know that not long ago, his subordinate Lin Xiangyong, who sacrificed his life to save his life, was also secretly sighing at his own misfortune.
But... how can there be so much bad luck?
Neither of them expressed their feelings at the time, otherwise Yan Haomiao would have realized that things were not that simple.
If we are unlucky again and again, can we still boil it down to the word "unlucky"?
I am afraid……
Yan Haomiao still knew nothing at the moment. The order he issued at this moment was sending his troops into a huge maw of conspiracy.
"Come on! Avenge your brothers!"
The tragic situation of the catapult troops fell into the eyes of everyone. In addition to secretly congratulating themselves on their luck, they also felt the same hatred against Kai. The words of revenge were sincere.
However, accidents often do not depend on people's will. What should happen still happens.
boom!
Just when everyone was preparing to attack the fortifications in one go, another huge roar suddenly came.
"This...can't be true!"
Yan Haomiao's drastically changed complexion instantly turned livid, and he stared nervously at the nearby fortifications.
Firebolt!
What was reflected in his eyes was the burning boulder rising rapidly into the sky, wasn't it?
Why is it still there?
Yan Haomiao's mind was at a loss. The number of stone-throwing attacks just now was almost the same as that during the day. Not only the one just now, but also the previous rounds that were fired at the rear. Yan Haomiao also looked carefully and found that they were all about the same size!
In other words, the number of the opponent's catapults should have been figured out.
But at this time, I watched the opponent launch another round of offensive. This number... was even more than before!
what happened?
Yan Haomiao was not a fool. He immediately realized that he was being tricked!
The number of catapults the opponent has on hand is not what it appears at all, but some of the catapults have been hidden from the beginning and have not been used.
Only then, when he ordered the entire army to attack, did he put the catapults that had been hidden into the battlefield.
Only in this way can Zhu Yan's enemy, who had just fought one round, launch an unexpected second round in a short period of time!
Can……
Yan Haomiao felt as if a huge boulder was sinking in his heart.
If this is the case, then the previous ones were all feints?
Therefore, the battle behind the enemy's fortifications was actually not as intense as he imagined, and even...
Could it be that……
Yan Haomiao was so frightened that Lin Xiangyong next to him hurriedly tried to help him, thinking that he had suffered some hidden injury just now.
But Yan Haomiao was not in the mood to pay attention to him at this time. He pushed Lin Xiangyong staggering with a big hand, and at the same time shouted: "Retreat, retreat quickly!"
He suddenly realized that the opponent was still being counted, and the two waves of stone-throwing attacks were the best proof. And if the fighting was really fierce in the rear, with the poor defensive capabilities behind the fortifications, how could the opponent still have a stable temper?
Can you resist using the hidden backhand?
So, this is just for yourself!
Behind the fortifications... Yan Haomiao's heart trembled. He was afraid that no battle had broken out at all!
Got cheated!
If the first round of stone-throwing offensive was that the opponent's blind cat encountered a dead mouse, then what about the second round?
The second round has already shown that underneath the opponent's seemingly panicked appearance, he has actually dug a hole for himself long ago and is waiting for him to jump into it!
Then he actually jumped.
Yan Haomiao's heart was bleeding.
How could it be too late to retreat?
At this time, his main force has already entered the range of the opponent's catapult!
You must know that the opponent is condescending due to the height of the fortifications, and the coverage that the catapult can hit is wider than him.
This is why he was still calculating that he still had ten steps to attack the opponent's fortifications, but the opponent had already taken action first.
Being condescending means that their catapult attack range is farther!
All his actions and arrangements are actually planned by the other party!
Could it be... that person?
