"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1253
Kerosene, stone bombs and fireballs fell one after another on the skitarii's ranks, thick smoke billowed, and miserable howls kept coming and going.
But the soldiers of the Skitarii didn't care so much anymore, and strode forward amidst the curses of the officers.
Seeing the infantrymen of the Skitarii pounced forward regardless of casualties, the arrows of the Qinghe army's front-line assault crossbows were already aimed at them.
Rows of octagonal ox crossbows, bed crossbows, repeating crossbows and arrow cabinets are all operating soldiers with serious faces, waiting for the military order.
The soldiers of the Skitarii naturally saw the powerful bows and crossbows in front of the Qinghe Army, but in order to survive, they could only defeat the current enemy.
Many Skitarii soldiers were bewitched by their officers into thinking they were fighting for God.
Even if they die in battle, they will go to a world of bliss, so death is not so scary in their eyes.
The soldiers of the Skitarii had red eyes and rolled forward panting, clenching their teeth, surrounded by dense footsteps and heavy breathing.
The observation posts of the Qinghe Army are also constantly visually measuring the distance between each other and reporting loudly.
The trebuchets were still roaring and launching, and soldiers of the cathars fell into a pool of blood every moment.
However, the forwards of the Guardian Army had rushed to the range of the Qinghe Army's arrows. Their wings spread out like a flood that opened the gate, and they seemed to have the ability to destroy the weak.
"Prepare!"
The officer of the Qinghe Army raised the command flag in his hand high, and amidst the sound of metal friction, all the strong bows and crossbows were strung.
"Launch!"
Following the order of the Qinghe Army officer, amidst the buzzing sound, dense arrows roared out.
The densely packed arrows were like an impenetrable metal storm, sweeping through the vanguard of the Skitarii in an instant.
Amidst the muffled sound of puffing arrows piercing the flesh, wailing and screams also resounded through the battlefield one after another.
Under the cover of dense arrows, patches of Skitarii soldiers fell into a pool of blood. Many people were directly shot into hedgehogs by the arrows. The blood flowed horizontally, and the soldiers on the verge of death were still struggling in pain.
The first wave of arrows from the Qinghe Army directly swept away the soldiers of the Skitarii, forming a vacuum.
In this area, there were almost no Skitarii soldiers standing alive, and the only survivors were all shot by arrows, howling and struggling on the ground.
Seeing that the densely packed companions in front of him emptied out in an instant, the skitarii soldiers behind them also froze in their footsteps, and were frightened by this scene and froze on the spot.
"Press it up!"
"Come on!"
The officers of the Skitarii were the first to react. They cursed and kicked the stunned soldiers.
Although the soldiers of the Skitarii were terrified, they were wrapped and pushed by the soldiers rolling behind them, and continued to rush forward over the piles of corpses.
The Qinghe army adopted a stepped and staggered arrow shooting method. As soon as the first wave of arrows ended, the second wave of arrows roared in, with a very short interval.
The second wave of arrows was like harvesting wheat, and a large group of Skitarii soldiers fell in a pool of blood again in disarray.
But this time, the cathars were determined to tear a breakthrough here, so those generals in purple and black took the lead in the charge.
Instead of scaring them off, the blood didn't frighten them away, but they rushed up one by one like howling beasts, stepping on the blood and corpses.
"How many died?"
Li Changqing, head of the Ninth Army of the Qinghe Army, smelled the strong smell of blood in the air, and put down the teacup in his hand.
"Master Legion, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people died."
Cao Guo, head of the First Banner, saw the corpses submerged by the newly rushed up Skitarii soldiers, and estimated.
The catapults and arrows of the Qinghe Army killed nearly 10,000 Skitarii, and it can be said that they also severely damaged the Skitarii.
In a conventional war, tens of thousands of people are lost before approaching the enemy, which is enough to deal a great blow to the enemy's morale, and they may retreat in spite of difficulties.
It's just that now the cathars have no way out this time. Although they lost tens of thousands of people and paid a heavy price, they still went forward.
"Since they want to fight in melee, let's do it in melee, and let them taste the sharp knives of my Field Ninth Army Corps!" Li ChangqingShen Sheng said.
"No!"
Cao Guo, head of the First Banner, turned around and shouted coldly at the herald: "Beat the drum, attack!"
The herald ordered the flag to go back, and more than a dozen cowhide war drums also thumped. The dull sound of the war drums resounded across the battlefield, covering up the roaring and tsunami shouts of the cathars.
"The Qinghe army is mighty!"
Cao Guo, the head of the First Banner, also got on his horse when he was beating the drums, drew his sword and shouted in the front row of the strict army formation.
"The Qinghe army is mighty!"
"Roar!"
"The Qinghe army is mighty!"
"Roar!"
Amidst the clanging and clashing sounds, the fortified infantry array also showed their snow-like swords and spears, and roared straight into the sky.
The strong bows and crossbows in the front row were withdrawn towards the two wings, and the Qinghe Army's infantry array became the first line of troops.
"Attack!"
Cao Guo, the head of the first banner, led the four fortified phalanxes under his command as the first order, and there was a sensation.
The Qinghe Army did not stand still and wait for the Patriarchs to fight. They adopted the tactics of attacking instead of defending, and confronted the enemy on the wide battlefield!
The 20,000 elites of the First Banner Regiment of the Ninth Legion strode forward with sonorous and powerful steps, and the soldiers of the Skitarii came rushing forward.
When the soldiers of the Guardian Army approached the Qinghe Army, they also shot sporadic arrows, but to the Qinghe Army, those arrows were like scratching the itch, and did not cause much damage.
"Kill!"
"The Qinghe army is mighty!"
The two armies collided violently soon, and began a hand-to-hand combat.
The soldiers of the Skitarii were already weak because they ate grass roots and weeds these days.
At this moment, although they burst out with fearless courage in order to survive, their strength was greatly reduced.
During the face-to-face battle between the two sides, swords and swords flew all over the place, and the soldiers of the Skitarii were chopped down one by one in a pool of blood and pierced through their bodies by spears.
? On the contrary, the Qinghe army recharged their energy and stored up their energy. They relied on each other with a fortified formation, but they suffered little loss.
The Qinghe Army in the first few rows was overwhelmed by the surging Patriarchal Army, but soon the Qinghe Army stabilized its position and began to advance steadily against the mighty enemy.
Seeing Cao Guo's First Banner Regiment stabilize their position in the wave of the enemy's charge and start to move forward, Li Changqing, the head of the army, also showed a smile on his face.
Cao Guo's First Banner Regiment is indeed the most elite and capable unit of their Ninth Army. It is as stable as Mount Tai in the face of several times the enemy's impact, which is impossible for ordinary troops.
"On the second flag regiment!"
Seeing that the First Banner Regiment had blocked the turbulent charge of the Skitarii, the four fortified formations of the second echelon also slowly advanced amidst the sound of horns.
The 20,000 Qinghe Army of the First Banner Regiment were besieged by the Skitarii like ants, but they were still advancing slowly.
As the Second Banner Regiment also followed, the charge of the Skitarii was completely contained.
After the Third Banner Regiment entered the battlefield, the Qinghe Army had already controlled the situation on the battlefield. Not only did they contain the opponent's charge, but they pushed the opponent back step by step. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
