Chapter 1724： Defeated

The all-spinning army, which was originally aggressive, was sluggish in the blink of an eye.

"Asshole!"

Lieutenant Quan Xuan saw it, full of anger, and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, the shield soldiers are in front, the infantry follows, and the crossbowmen put arrows to cover."

"attack!"

"kill!"

Although the first wave of offensive suffered heavy losses, the infantry of the Ice and Snow Dynasty was still elite after all. Under the command of the main general, they quickly adjusted their formation and slammed their shields to resist the enemy's arrows.

Suddenly, the army's losses were halved.

At the same time, the crossbowmen in the rear continued to release arrows to suppress the Mengtian Barracks, suppressing the defenders of the Nanyan Dynasty Barracks.

Slow down the offensive of the Nanyan Dynasty crossbowmen.

With precautions, the losses suffered by the all-spinning army have been reduced a lot.

Under the cover of shield soldiers, the infantry kept advancing towards the barracks.

"General, the enemy's shield can't stop us from the rain of arrows a lot. As it is now, the enemy will be coming over soon.

Hong Yang, the lieutenant in charge of guarding the southeast corner of the barracks, sneered and said to his own soldiers: "What are you going to panic? Order the heavy crossbow to prepare, as long as you hear my order, immediately launch."

"Yes!"

"In addition, the shield soldiers must be ordered to protect the safety of the crossbowmen, and at the same time they are ordered to continue to release arrows and attack the enemy."

"Yes!"

Under Hong Yang's order, the shield soldiers in the southeast corner immediately made a defense to ensure that the crossbowmen were not threatened by the enemy crossbowmen.

Suddenly, the offensive of the crossbowmen returned to the previous level and attacked the enemy frantically.

But because the full-spinning army was already prepared and protected by shield soldiers, although there were losses, they were still within an acceptable range.

The lieutenant of the full rotation arrangement saw this scene, laughed, and said: "It seems that the general is not mistaken. The enemy's defense at the southeast corner is indeed the weak side. Up to now, I have not seen the heavy crossbow of the Nanyan Dynasty. Shooting, this proves that the enemy's heavy crossbow must be on the front, trying to resist our main attack."

"As everyone knows, the main force in this battle is just a feint, and it is us who is really responsible for the attack."

"The whole army listens to the order and speeds up. The first person to attack the enemy's barracks will be promoted to the fifth rank and rewarded with a reward!"

"kill!"

Under the reward, there are warriors, and the speed of the army of the Ice and Snow Dynasty is obviously much faster than before.

Two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters.

Fifty meters!

In a short period of time, the Ice and Snow Dynasty army abruptly carried the bows and crossbows in the barracks and advanced to a position less than 50 meters away from the barracks.

This distance is already very, very close.

When Hong Yang saw it, he sneered and said loudly: "Heavy crossbowmen listen to the order, all heavy crossbows immediately release arrows!"

"Boom!"

The thick sound of the heavy crossbow fire suddenly filled the void, and countless heavy crossbow arrows rose into the air, pouring down toward the enemy.

The shield soldiers of the Ice and Snow Dynasty had no problem blocking ordinary bows and crossbows, but they could be killed by heavy crossbows.

Just a touch, the shield soldiers were hit by the terrifying impact carried by the heavy crossbow arrows.

Without the barrier of the shield soldiers, the subsequent infantrymen, facing the heavy crossbow arrows, were even more powerless to parry, one by one they were pierced by the heavy crossbow arrows.

In particular, heavy crossbow arrows are extremely powerful, even if they shoot through the enemy and hit the ground, they can cause great destructive power and lift the surrounding infantry into flight.

At the same time, ordinary crossbowmen were still shooting arrows, and a lot of arrows rained over them.

The combination of the two was just a wave of attacks, and the army of the Ice and Snow Dynasty that finally advanced with great loss in an instant.

There was no even a place to stand where it was heavily attacked.

"How can there be a heavy crossbow?"

The lieutenant of the full spin was dumbfounded.

Since there are heavy crossbows, why didn't they use them just now? Why did they have to wait until their army has attacked until only 50 meters left? Are you not afraid that your army crossbowmen pose a threat to their crossbowmen?

But now he can't help thinking too much.

You know, the range of heavy crossbows is far from comparable to that of ordinary crossbows.

It wasn't just soldiers who were close to the barracks were shot dead with heavy crossbows, causing heavy casualties.

Even the troops behind, as long as they are within the range of the mid-range, they will suffer heavy casualties.

"Quick, retreat, retreat!"

Lieutenant Quanxuan gave an urgent order.

He understands very well that with the current defensive arrangements of the enemy, it is impossible for him to attack the city.

The best option is to retreat to preserve the vitality and plan for a long time.

However, although his command was issued quickly, it was still too late for the Ice Dynasty army under the heavy crossbow range.

Those troops who want to retreat can be killed by heavy crossbow arrows. It is so easy there.

Less than 10% of the offensive troops were successfully withdrawn.

Lieutenant Quan Xuan saw this scene dripping blood.

You know, the army that has just attacked exceeded 500,000, and indeed less than 50,000 returned.

A total of 450,000 people were lost in the offensive just now.

To be more precise, the damage was caused by heavy crossbow shooting.

The power of that **** heavy crossbow is too big, and a few waves of attacks have completely shattered their offensive.

"General... General, what should I do?" The soldier shivered beside him.

The main general was pale and said: "Give... to the general to tell the truth, we are in the midst of it."

Soon, Quanxuan received the news, and his face was gloomy.

"General, there is news from the offensive army on the right. They are defeated. The enemy is not weak on the right side, but is heavily defended, especially with heavy crossbow shooting. During the period, there were two other killings. The loss exceeded half a million!"

Before Quan Xuan digested the news of the defeat in the southeast corner, news of the defeat on the right also came.

He turned his face as deep as water, and his body trembled twice.

Less than an hour before the army attacked, his own loss turned out to be more than one million.

This is really a very, very scary number.

"Damn Meng Tian, ​​I will crush you one day!"

Quan Xuan scolded.

He would not blame the two defeated lieutenants, because he knew very well that in the Nanyan Dynasty, the crossbows and crossbows were too powerful, especially the Sage Crossbow.

Once the offensive direction has these three kinds of defense, it is not surprising that one million troops will be lost in a short time.

Even, the reason for the loss of only one million is just because there are not many offensive troops. If five million troops attack a barracks defended by these three things together, it is possible to lose more than half of the five million troops in a short time. of.

Heavy Crossbow and Sacred Crossbow, whether in defense or siege, are too great.

"Damn it, why can't our craftsman make such a crossbow?" Quan Xuan whispered.

All the lieutenants who heard him all smiled bitterly.

Crossbows are so easy to manufacture, especially the powerful crossbows such as heavy crossbow and sage crossbow.

Even among the ten dynasties, for now, there are only two dynasties with powerful and powerful bows, the Cangchu dynasty and the Nanyan dynasty.

In the rest of the dynasties, there was nothing too powerful.

"General, what shall we do now?"
