Chapter 1974 The Chain Crossbow Strikes Again

People from the three empires did not think of such a thing, especially the high-level people in power. They absolutely do not want to see such a thing happen in their own empire. In their opinion, the Thunder Gate should be eliminated as soon as possible. Yes, and the blockade of the Frozen Forest is the most important one. The Eastern Empire naturally saw this important point, so they wanted to break through Li Cong's blockade at all costs. Their army has already reached the Yami Plain In the area, 1540km to the southeast is the Eastern Empire, and 450km to the west is the Northern Empire. In the past, caravans from the Northern Empire often came here, but now there are too many monsters here. There are no caravans coming over. It is said that the families of other caravans are all old and young, right? If this comes, it will cost my old life.

They are stationed in this place less than 30 kilometers away from Li Cong's army blocking the frozen forest. Li Cong understands their intentions very well. They must rush over from this place, as long as they send a message to the people of Thunder Gate. Well, the people from the Thunder Gate headquarters will naturally not show up. They will definitely tell the Eastern Empire most of the news about the Thunder Gate. , It has been hundreds of thousands of years, and the infiltration between these four empires is also very powerful. If they want to do this, they will be much more powerful than those who came out of Thunder Gate. At that time, Li Cong wants to be the same as before. It would be impossible to block it, if this part of the power is integrated. It is absolutely no problem to deal with Li Cong, but Li Cong is not the target of the Eastern Empire. The Eastern Empire may take risks and ask those people to revolt. This is all possible. When the time comes, the other three major empires will It started to be chaotic, and they could get the benefits of being a fisherman. This kind of thing is also what Li Cong didn't want to see. Li Cong's current forces are all within the territory of the three empires. If there is any chaos in the three empires, he himself The loss will definitely be very severe. Li Cong would never let such a thing happen to him. Unknowingly, Li Cong himself was also kidnapped by the three empires, and now both sides are on the same boat, so Li Cong can only hurry up with the army of fifteen divisions that he can integrate. To the east of the Northern Empire.

Among the fifteen divisions, there were members of the guards of the three divisions formed by Li Cong himself, and the rest were just formed. But they are still different from other newly formed armies. They are compiled in their entirety. It's really a change of clothes, all of which are the same as in the original army, so the order is also very good, if it is really reorganized. Not to mention going to the battlefield to fight, it is still unknown whether they can run there. Now Li Cong feels very relieved to see their neat steps, at least they did not hold him back. The infantry of the two divisions naturally couldn't be so fast. Li Cong also thought about asking the cavalry to advance quickly and let the infantry pass slowly, but then he thought that if the infantry without cavalry protection encountered the enemy As for the cavalry, they are simply the target of the enemy. You can't do such a thing. Your own strength is not as good as others, and you can't do that now. Every soldier is very important to you. people.

Li Cong was riding a little tiger, but if this guy let out his breath, it is estimated that these millions of military horses would all lie on the ground immediately, this is absolute, let alone them,

That's what all the monsters in the Warcraft Mountains will do. This is a pure king. Many soldiers are very envious of their general's mount. It comes and goes like a gust of wind. The most important thing is that they don't seem to see this guy tired. They also knew that this must be a monster, but they never imagined that it would be a tenth-level monster. In their opinion, even if the tenth-level monster was dead, it would be impossible for a human to use it as a mount. It was too embarrassing.

"Report..." Li Cong saw the three people in front of him on horseback with Hong Ling on their backs running over. People belong to spies, so what happened before? According to the rules in the army, they can report without getting off their horses. The three guys are covered in sweat. It can be seen that they have been running for a long time. Before Li Cong allowed it, one of the leaders started talking. "Report to the general, enemy archers were found 30 miles ahead, the number is more than 200,000, and there are still a large number of cavalry behind, the number is unknown." The guy said, it's no wonder, they have not been there for a long time Those who came to the battlefield, it's no wonder that they are so nervous when they see the enemy. Li Cong also understands that it seems that they have to give them a little confidence, otherwise they might not wait to go to the battlefield. I was terrified to death, such a thing could definitely happen, they all came 30 miles in front of me, it seems that they also knew that I was coming, and they were going to give me a meeting gift.

"Order the whole army to speed up. The people from the 321st and 330th brigades of the second division rushed to the front and stopped at a distance of 500 meters from the enemy. In addition, I asked the company commanders of the whole army to go to the front to see Now, you guys continue to investigate, and come back and tell me if there is any trouble." Li Cong said confidently, he had already shipped 200,000 chain crossbows from the rty planet, and this thing is very important in ordinary people's wars. It’s very good in China, and there are rules in this war. You, a tenth-level fighter, can’t slaughter ordinary people. If you want to slaughter ordinary people, you have to kill your opponent. It's your own business, but generally speaking, experts don't bother to fight against ordinary people. It seems that they are too cheap. Ordinary people's wars still depend on ordinary people. Besides, some large-scale wars are not easy. There are hundreds of millions of people, how many can you kill as a tenth-level fighter? With such a large number, it would probably be tiring to kill millions of people. If you want to kill on a large scale, you can only rely on magicians, but if the other party also has magicians. If you go to kill people, they will kill you too, so the masters are the first to decide the outcome with the masters. This is basically the rule of war. Of course, the chance of losing the master is relatively high. .

The 170,000 combat troops of the two brigades of the Second Division immediately began to advance quickly after receiving the news from Li Cong. They were also infantry, but Li Cong bought horses for them because he wanted to improve their mobility. One by one is not slow to run, and they are also very interested in the chain crossbow in their hands during training. good guy. This thing is simply a murderous weapon. They looked at the 300 bows and arrows on their backs. They probably wouldn't need that many to fight a war in the past, but they understood after practice. It is estimated that this is enough for a battle. You bastards of the Eastern Empire are out of luck.

Over there, a legion of three million people from the Eastern Empire was ordered to stop Li Cong and the others. The two legions over there were on their way. They really didn't expect Li Cong to move so fast, and they didn't want to meet such a fast opponent. To be honest, the soldiers of the other three empires didn’t experience much war, and the soldiers of the Eastern Empire did the same. They all felt the same about the war, which was the fear in their bones, but they were not afraid when they thought of their numerical advantage. Besides, their equipment and so on are also dominant. Let’s say that the value of their equipment exceeds 10 taels of silver per person. It is said that the value of the Northern Empire is only 8 taels of silver, although 2 taels of silver may not be worth anything. However, at least their psychological effects on the battlefield are huge. Under the same conditions, I have one more chance of surviving than them, which is amazing.

The army of the Eastern Empire naturally did not want to confront Li Cong head-on. They hoped that they could use their military power to scare Li Cong back. They also investigated Li Cong's details and knew that this guy belonged to a minister of the Northern Empire. Bastard, although such a person usually sees a little more of the world than the children of ordinary people, how much does this guy really know about things in the real army? It must be that he doesn't know much. Since this guy knows that he doesn't know much, then when he encounters the army of the Eastern Empire in the future, he will definitely think that it is better not to fight or not to fight. Fighting, but war and fighting are still two different things. No, what the generals of the Eastern Empire want is to give Li Cong a blow first, and this matter will be settled. The outcome of the first battle is very crucial. , such things must be understood.

The armies of both sides began to approach step by step on this very fertile plain with no food. If food is really planted here, it should be very good. Unfortunately, there are monsters appearing here in normal times. , Whether it is a first-level monster or a second-level monster, this is nothing to some soldiers, but it is not good for ordinary people who are farming. The first-level monster can also make them run around, but now the two sides are fighting. Tens of millions of troops are approaching at a fast speed, and the monsters naturally dare not come here when they see this posture, why don't they run faster? Li Cong's two brigades of more than 100,000 people will soon face off with the opponent's legion of millions of cavalry and 200,000 archers. What Li Cong wants is to use his two brigades to serve the people of the Eastern Empire. Look, you are not Lao Tzu's opponents, it is best to beat you all at once.

The two brigade commanders of the 321st brigade and the 330th brigade are also very confident in this. With their own spies watching in front of them, it is impossible to be ambushed or something. In fact, the people of the Eastern Empire did not think about ambush. Theirs, what they want is to kill you from the front. If you don’t do that, you may not be able to show you off. It is to give you reasons in various aspects. This is the real failure. The blow to your confidence is very important, so that you can be told to go back, and the blockade of the Frozen Forest can be ignored. Just blocking your side, if we don’t block it, it will be useless at all. Thunderbolt The biggest backer of the gate is the Eastern Empire. If they can help each other, this mission will be considered a failure, and the three empires will suffer heavy losses. They won’t die, but they can’t afford to lose. Come on, the first one to shout depressed is naturally the Eastern Empire. If there is no guy like Li Cong, they can completely occupy the four major empires, but now they don't have that ability. They can only do their best to let themselves The losses were minimized, so people in the Eastern Empire basically had very strong opinions. They could have been the masters of the entire continent, but now there is basically no such hope. Although they will become stronger step by step through the development of the ocean, as long as the three empires unite, they will not have a chance. This time Put all the anger on Li Cong.

Soon, people in the Eastern Empire also saw Li Cong's men and horses. Li Cong's military appearance and discipline are still very good. The people in the Eastern Empire originally thought that these people might be as good as farmers. Scattered, if that's the case, I don't need to do anything to them. As long as the archers on their side shoot a thousand arrows, they will be able to scare those people to the ground. It's a pity that what they thought didn't happen. Some of the veterans among them saw at a glance that the cavalrymen who came in front were not very strong, they were just strong and strong, and the new recruits were a little scared. Doesn't it mean that they are all the same as farmers? Why is it also the army? The veterans can tell at a glance that these people should not be cavalry in the past, they should all be infantry, temporary horsemen. Such a nondescript army is the least threatening. They are called cavalry infantry. These people have neither the impact of cavalry nor the combat effectiveness of infantry. It can be said that they are the most important thing on the entire battlefield. Well, it can be seen that the command is useless. Besides, it doesn’t matter if it’s really cavalry. Didn’t you see the 200,000 archers in front of us? You are going to make dumplings for us, you should go faster, why did you stop at the place where the two arrows are, it is a place that the archers can't reach at all, as long as you go a little further, we will I can kill you. It seems that the commander is not completely stupid. It would be your nightmare if you rushed over like that. Looking at the army of the Eastern Empire in the distance, the two brigade commanders looked at each other At first glance, it is indeed the case. The two of them are happy, and they will kill you in a while.

"Brigade Commander, the people from the Eastern Empire over there have already started to give us flags." The guards of the Brigadier have better eyesight, and soon saw the movements of the Eastern Imperial Army on the opposite side. Although this is useless, every time This is the first time Li Cong has encountered such a war. It seems that he can omit this link in the future. Although it is unscrupulous, it is very effective.

The brigade commander just wanted to ask his soldiers to send a message back there. According to the normal order, they should come that way, but Li Cong's order arrived immediately, ordering the people here to start attacking immediately, and don't mess with the other party. What to say, the brigade commander is a guy who has taken genetic medicine, so he naturally obeyed Li Cong's words, but the soldiers below didn't understand this very well. In their opinion, it took a while to communicate, and It's not that we have to fight desperately when we come up, but we are just a soldier. We have to do what the higher-ups say. Where there is room for us to talk, naturally we should start fighting quickly.

The army of the Eastern Empire is not stupid, they can still see the actions of hundreds of thousands of people clearly, and they will enter the state of battle without saying a word, how can there be such a person? However, they realized that Li Cong was a non-military soldier, and it was impossible for such a person to do anything rationally. Soon most of the people also began to change their formations, but when they changed to Halfway through, they suddenly discovered that the opposite side had already started to attack. How could those guys be faster than us? We are all from the regular army, and none of those guys are from the regular army. How could that be?

Li Cong sneered, these armies really have no way to talk about them, each of them fought according to their own ideas, so I can only feel sorry for you, each of you followed the rules, but I There are no rules here, the officers and soldiers of the two brigades and the two cavalry divisions behind are already ready, just wait for the chain crossbow to create chaos for them, and the cavalry here will rush up, and then you will be fine. Yes, yes, as long as the first battle is won, things on the surface will be much easier to handle. Are you afraid that you people in the Eastern Empire will not hurt you? It was also a huge blow to the people of the entire Eastern Empire.

Of course, from the perspective of the Eastern Empire, it is impossible for them to fail. Isn't it just a little faster? This does not prove that you are as elite as us. It is very easy for us to kill you, but Just when they changed their formations and they haven't finished yet. A puff of black smoke seemed to be flying out of the opposite phalanx. The recruits naturally didn't know what it was, but the veterans understood it very well, especially a group of officers. The black shadows that come out, they often saw this kind of thing in the past, but they didn't see it very much after there was no war in recent years, but it's not the time to watch this now, those archers on the opposite side The objects are ours, and these bows and arrows have not yet reached us. distance is too far. It's impossible for them to come over, but it's still a tentative attack. It's like firing a cannon, you have to look at the impact point first. Otherwise how to adjust it. People's pace is one step faster than ours. Just when Li Cong's army fired their bows and arrows, they didn't realize that they were going to be attacked, and each of them felt that the opponent's speed was a little faster, if they could act on their own side. It can also kill them.

Ah... The screams began to spread in the formation of the Eastern Empire, and the people in front had already started running around. Those who had experienced battles might still have their own self-control, but these guys All of them have never experienced war. Seeing the people around them covered in blood, each of them was naturally scared. They didn't expect the enemy's bows and arrows to have such a long range. They were all scared. Thinking about how to keep my head, if I don't run well, I may not be able to go back. Now the tens of thousands of former troops were directly killed in the first wave of attack, but this is not enough To cause fatal damage, it is also because the training in the army is not enough, so the current situation has appeared. If those guys on the rty planet came like this, the results of the first wave of battles may be twice as high as this Yes, but it doesn't matter, if it doesn't work the first time, we have a second time, and if the second time doesn't work, we have a third time. After all, there will be one time that will make these guys suffer a lot. This is okay No problem, we can do it.

Although hundreds of thousands of bows and arrows were used in the first wave of bows and arrows to kill tens of thousands of people, the hit rate can be said to be very low, but the damage they caused was much greater than this number. Those guys on the horse Some survived the first attack, but they didn't care what happened to the comrades beside them, they rushed out of the queue and ran towards the back. Several officers held their whips and tried to stop them Yes, I was knocked into the air by these guys directly, someone took the lead, the rest of the people are not fools, you can survive if you run away, I have to wait to die if I stay here, I am so useless brains? At this moment, most of the people are about to start running. The people who fell on the ground are usually their brothers, but at this time, they don’t have the ability to pull you up. If we do the same, we probably will I have to be the same as you. You fell down by yourself. This is your own bad luck. Everyone knows that if you fall on the battlefield, you will die. If they died, they would start to retreat one by one. Whether they were trampled to death or killed by officers, there were several times as many as tens of thousands of people. The army of the Eastern Empire had already been defeated.

The 200,000 archers of the Eastern Empire at the back also reacted at this time. If they can now advance 50 meters while the cavalry in front is not retreating, their bows and arrows will be able to reach Li Cong's people. But the people attacking the corps in front were extremely chaotic, and there was some commotion on their side, but after the officer killed a few troublemakers, they calmed down, but it is impossible to say that attacking others, Seeing the cavalry rushing back from the front, the leading general had no choice but to ask his subordinates to put out the horses, otherwise these cavalry would definitely rush in and disperse their ranks. Thousands of cavalrymen died on these sharp repelling horses, and I don't know what they were thinking. Damn, at the beginning of the fight, they didn't kill a few people, and they died a lot.

But before they finished their sentence, the second wave of attack arrived over there, and it took less than ten seconds before and after. How could this be possible? Even the most skilled archers in the army could not have such They are not so fast, are these guys all first-class archers? This is impossible. From the shooting distance just now, it can be seen that these guys are all ordinary people. It is impossible for them to have such a powerful ability. This is not in line with the law, but the fact is like this. People who managed to survive in the first ten seconds saw a black cloud in the sky coming. Just now, because Li Cong's people were just now Arrived, so I haven't stood firm yet. There are only about 130,000 archers here. Now it's different. 160,000 people have started shooting. There seem to be a lot more bows and arrows.

The overwhelming rain of arrows came just like that. The cavalrymen who can't run have at least five or six bows and arrows on them. You are wearing armor, and you admit that your armor is much better than that of the cavalry of the other three empires. If you use a bow and arrow, you may not be able to shoot you to death, but you are not covered all over. Even if the whole body is wrapped up. This bow and arrow also has its own impact. Hitting you will also hurt, and the result of five or six bows and arrows coming together is to knock you off your horse, which also declares your death. We don't need to do it anymore, your people will give you a terrible death.

The 200,000 cavalry of the former army of the Eastern Empire were less than 20,000 to 30,000 in the end. This is because their archers risked their lives and advanced 30 meters to stop Li Cong's two brigades. Yes, otherwise, it is estimated that none of them will be able to go back, shooting bows and arrows? This may be what Li Cong is most willing to do now. Your distance cannot keep up with us, but our distance can keep up with yours. The brigade commanders of the two brigades will not confront each other head-on. If you advance, we will retreat. That’s right, we will also attack you on the way back. This is the same as the gap between rifles and submachine guns. After we shoot one, we can continue to shoot the second one. You are different. You have to start from your own arrows. Take it out of the bag, and then waste your huge strength to draw the bow and arrow to the full, but all of this is unnecessary for us, we just snap our fingers, I believe you can do this kind of thing I wouldn't believe it, we didn't even believe it before, but we did it on the battlefield, just look at your people falling down in pieces.

The result of the bow and arrow shooting came out soon. More than 80% of the 200,000 archers of the Eastern Empire died, and the rest retreated with the cavalry. They stopped at a barracks ten miles away. The loss of less than 2,000 people is definitely a great victory. The casualties of 2,000 killed more than 300,000 enemy troops. Such a ratio has never appeared on the entire continent. Of course, if there are magicians coming up The massacre is another matter, but now it is obvious that there are no magicians, and the people of the Eastern Empire Magicians Union will not help others to deal with magicians, although they have never seen Li Cong, nor do they know this person. Guy, but in their hearts, this magician is much nobler than ordinary people. The magicians in the world are a family, and it is not as simple as just talking about it. Most magicians agree with this sentence.

However, the loss of bows and arrows is also very severe. This time, some soldiers of these two brigades directly fired wildly. More than 7 million bows and arrows were used in ten minutes. When this number was reported to Li Cong, Li Cong was also a little surprised. Damn, these guys are a little too ruthless. Isn’t the price of a bow and arrow here? Very expensive, because the material is very easy to find, and the price of collecting this thing from ordinary people is only 10 yuan. This is a small encounter with so many bows and arrows, and the loss below is huge.

Every archer is precious, so the task of cleaning the battlefield is naturally handed over to the infantry behind. After taking a half-hour rest, their two brigade commanders immediately led the people towards the east 10 miles away. The imperial army barracks have left, and the soldiers are very fast at this time. Although they also want to take a good inventory of their trophies, there will be greater military achievements waiting for them in front of them. I have to go there to see how much credit I can get. One by one, they rushed up like howling tigers. The sound of their horseshoes directly made the Dongdi army in the barracks frightened.

There are more than 4 million cavalry and 2 million infantry in this barracks, and there are also millions of archers. They were going to support the front line, but who knows that all the people from the front line ran back. What's going on? How did these guys come back? defeated? Several generals on the front line did not come back, and they were all killed by random arrows. The only two generals arrived in the general's camp with injuries all over their bodies. At first, they didn't know what they were talking about, but after waiting for less than three minutes, the four personal soldiers of the general went in and took the two The general was tied up, and then pushed out, he directly raised his knife and fell, beheaded... This action was fast, and at this time the seven million troops in the barracks quickly understood, and the dozens of troops sent out Only tens of thousands of troops came back, and all the rest were killed. He failed so badly when he started the war. No wonder the general is angry.

Before they could react, the scouts came back. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry had already arrived at the gate of the barracks. The general was also full of anger. Why didn't he understand what those two guys said just now? ? There is no such thing as an ambush. How come your army is all finished. look at the time. How long is it, one hour, if you subtract all the time you spent on the road. It took less than ten minutes. In ten minutes, you lost 300,000 people. Even if the empire has an army, it won’t be enough for you to lose. Well, these bastards from the Northern Empire have come to the door. Look! Come on, what they said was not wronged, and they really came. I want to see how you killed my people. I heard that hundreds of thousands of people came, and they didn’t follow at all. Good guy , this is even better, eating you can be regarded as saving my face, so it is not considered a failure, the loss of tens of thousands of people can still be reported, after all, this is a war, how could there be undead thing.

The general immediately brought one hundred thousand armored cavalry of his own army to the forefront. The value of one of his cavalry equipment is more than twice that of ordinary cavalry. Of course, the combat effectiveness will also be much higher. If you have your own investment, you will have your own In return, his cavalry is well-known throughout the Eastern Empire, and each of the 100,000 cavalry looked at the Northern Empire cavalry who had just arrived in front of them with a look of disdain. The same, the vision of looking at the problem is the same, these guys are a group of mounted infantry, I really don't understand, why are those people killed by these guys, have they all become mentally handicapped?

The two brigade commanders and the people below don't care about any semaphore and other things at this time, this thing is the same as what the boss said, it is useless at all, just ask people to disperse and find a position that is beneficial to them , Just start archery. The people below him have gone through the last battle, and now they have more experience than before, and they are much calmer. This calmness is the most precious thing on the battlefield. If a person can If Zhan Changhang is calm, then what he brings is definitely not as simple as killing one more enemy. A brigade commander waved his command flag vigorously, and the first wave of attack passed just like that. My eyes were widened, how could there be no rules, as usual, you have to start cursing for a while before you start, and what about your shooting position? A man on a horse shoots an arrow? Are you kidding me? It would be nice if you could control your own body. You actually want to shoot arrows on horseback. The general felt that these people were a little funny at this time, how could such a thing happen, those of his own died at the hands of these people? I'm not joking, this guy feels that his cognitive ability is not enough...

If the general hadn't been in such a hurry just now, and had listened carefully to the words of the two generals he killed, it might not be the case now. He is so powerful that he just let the two generals finish their speech , Those people also said that the other party has a very powerful weapon, but unfortunately he didn't listen to it. He thought that such a weapon was impossible to appear. The reason why those two guys said that was because they wanted to take the responsibility for their failure. It was attributed to those non-existent weapons, so he killed those two guys in anger. If they hadn't said that, he might have kept those two guys.

But it was too late now, the general had already seen a bow and arrow pointing down 60 meters above his head. I am afraid of the bows and arrows shot by these ordinary people, but those under him may not have his skills. The general roared, and the dozens of bows and arrows above him immediately became inaccurate, but he can The only thing he could do was this. Several people around him were pierced through their heads. The concentration of bows and arrows was not very high. For hundreds of thousands of people, these bows and arrows were not very many. It was just the firing of bows and arrows The frequency is really high. At this time, the general thought of letting his cavalry start to attack. The first wave of the general's own 100,000 cavalry was killed by tens of thousands. They didn't run around like those cavalry. Well-trained, after receiving the general's order, they began to rush towards the two brigades.

They were also a little flustered when they saw cavalry rushing over. After all, the cavalry they encountered just now started to run away at this time, and they had no intention of continuing to charge up. They immediately leveled their bows and crossbows, and the 20,000 archers in the front threw away their crossbows and began to throw some Mitsubishi nails and the like tens of meters in front of them. It is impossible for them to carry horse refusal within the range, so these things are also used. This is also taught by Li Cong. All they had to do was find an air strike and run to the back. The people behind them immediately formed a three-row attacking square, and before the brigade commander gave an order, their chain crossbows began to fire.

Although the armor of this era is good, it is not enough to encounter something with such a strong impact as the chain crossbow. The cavalry in the front was directly shot into a sieve, and even the horses with them were directly shot. Get out, it’s okay for a cavalry to fall, but in such a dense cavalry formation, a fallen cavalry can trip most of the people directly, such a thing they didn’t expect, their clan thought cavalry It should be against the cavalry, the denser it is, the safer they will feel. Unexpectedly, the tactics of tens of thousands of years have completely failed at this moment. (To be continued..)
