Chapter 309   Advancing Frontally

Block stone net!

What ejected from the opponent's arrow tower turned out to be huge fishing nets!

I saw that the four corners of these fishing nets were tied with extremely heavy copper balls. Once they were ejected, the four corners suddenly opened up, dragging the large net with strong toughness in the middle to continuously rotate and unfold. In the air, huge mouths suddenly opened up, as if they wanted to choose someone to devour.

This is a stone-blocking net specially made for blocking stone throwing. Once launched, it has the powerful thrust of the ejection device and the weight of the copper balls on the four corners, which makes the impact force extremely strong for a moment after it is shot.

And Dongping City had obviously prepared for it long ago. Once the blocking stone net was launched, there were hundreds of them, and a huge and incomparably huge net wall was spread out in midair, almost cutting the entire space in half!

None of the catapults fired by the Bailie Empire were missed, and they all hit these blocking stone nets.

The momentum on both sides is huge, but when they met in the air, they canceled each other out. Although they rushed towards the Zhu Yan Empire for a short distance, they were unable to catch up, and they were wrapped up and fell from the air.

Even the blocking stone net is so well prepared?

Yan Haomiao stared, finally realizing that things might not be that simple.

The launching device of the blocking stone net is extremely complicated. In order to ensure the impact force, its components are also very heavy, and it is difficult to transport it over long distances.

So Yan Haomiao does not have it here, and the three border cities headed by Dongping City are originally inland cities, and their city defenses are not too thick, let alone extremely important combat materials such as the blocking stone net. It is a configuration that belongs to a large city.

With such thorough preparations, how can one tell that this is a unit that hastily ran out to fight because of a moment of anger?

What are they up to?

Yan Haomiao frowned. Although the appearance of the blocking stone net surprised him, it was just a tie.

The opponent's stone throwing did not cause damage due to the flexibility of one's own cavalry unit, but one's own stone throwing was also blocked by the opponent's blocking stone net, which also did not have the desired effect. Both sides had no losses and were still on the same starting line.

But through this incident, Yan Haomiao had a bad feeling in his heart, as if...

"Come on!"

Putting aside the battle ahead for now, Yan Haomiao turned around and shouted, "How is the situation in Xifeng City?"

He didn't know why he suddenly thought of Xifeng City, but when he realized that things were different, the first thing that came to his mind was Chen Ze's figure.

How is the situation in Xifeng City?

Yan Haomiao urgently needs to know this, so that he can accurately judge the current situation.

However……

When the messenger rushed down to deliver the message, not long after, a general in charge of the scouting troop rushed over, without wiping off the sweat dripping from his forehead, he hurriedly said to Yan Haomiao: "Report to your lord, be in charge of investigating Xifeng City." The situational scouting team... was wiped out!"

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Haomiao stared sharply. He turned his horse's head angrily, turned to the general angrily, and shouted, "Why didn't you report earlier?"

"Here……"

The general had a weeping face, and his body trembled slightly: "This subordinate also just received a report that the scout team responsible for the situation in Xifeng City lost contact not long ago, so they sent people to investigate, but found that they They all died near the lurking place, so I hurried back to report to the adults."

"Do you know how it was destroyed?"

Yan Haomiao tried his best to suppress his anger, not wanting to act as a blow to morale at this time, so he asked with a cold expression.

"this……"

The scout general felt his throat dry up, but no matter how he wanted to, he could only give Yan Haomiao a difficult answer.

"No, I don't know..."

After saying this, the scout general even closed his eyes in pain, as if he was waiting for Yan Haomiao to draw out his sharp sword and give him a good time.

"have no idea!"

At this moment, the anger in Yan Haomiao's chest almost reached its peak. If he didn't still have a sliver of reason, he really wanted to...

But at this moment, several violent vibrations came.

You don't need to look back to know that it is the soldiers of Dongping City who are attacking.

Yan Haomiao's complexion became ugly.

Because of the two waves of stone-throwing attacks, the originally flat ground was now covered with gravel, and even some large pits that were smashed out were still blazing with flames and black smoke.

The scene suddenly became a mess. The terrain that should be suitable for charging can no longer allow the cavalry to charge in groups. The last conventional means are advancing towards them.

The opponent's equipment is not incomplete, and it even makes Yan Haomiao feel like he is armed to the teeth. Just by feeling the violent vibrations from the ground when he advances, he knows the weight of the shield in the opponent's hand and the thickness of the armor on his body. !

This is prepared!

Yan Haomiao frowned, and no longer cared about pursuing the crime of dereliction of duty of the scout general, he didn't even look at him again, turned to face the frontal battlefield, waved his big hand, and was about to put his sword and shield in front of him, but his eyelids He jumped suddenly, and saw hundreds of billowing smoke bouncing from the opposing army's formation.

Again?

Yan Haomiao was so angry that his temples thumped wildly, and those guys threw another round of stone-throwing attacks without saying a word, forcing him to stop the phalanx of swords and shields who were about to step forward.

No matter how strong the shield's defensive power is, it can't stop this huge falling rock like a meteor falling to the ground!

Yan Haomiao gritted his teeth and did not order to fight back with stone throws.

First, the opponent has a blocking stone net, who knows if it will block his second wave of attacks, and second, although there are catapults, the catapults are not unlimited.

The stones that can be used for catapults are either natural boulders, or countless gravels need to be collected and wrapped with cloth or animal skins to form useful "bullets".

The land where Yan Haomiao stationed troops was a flat place, and there were not many suitable boulders in the first place. Yan Haomiao ordered people to dig continuously in the previous canyon, so there were some stocks in stock.

To him, one round of throwing stones is one less round, and the opponent has a blocking stone net as a defensive means, so it is not very meaningful to throw stones to attack.

With a sweep of his gaze, he also looked helplessly at the many gravels on the battlefield.

In order to march quickly, the main force in his army of 1.7 million was still mainly cavalry. If there is another round of stone-throwing volleys, the role of the cavalry will be further weakened. Hao Miao didn't want to see it.

So, although he was helpless, he could only make the most correct choice under the current situation.

That is……

"Send the order, the whole army retreats!"

Staring coldly at Zhu Yan's army advancing forward, Yan Haomiao could only make such a choice.
