Chapter 7805

The 2000 people lined up in four rows, in groups of two, one after another raised a quickly assembled crossbow, pulled up the strings and pressed a group of six crossbow bolts into the grooves of the long crossbow middle.

Lin Yi's face changed slightly. Although he didn't know what the long crossbow was called, just by looking at it, he knew it was not a simple thing!

The wind at the turn of spring and summer carried a slight scorching heat, plucking the leaves of the treetops, making slight noises, and a four-row army formation appeared from under the trees, and an endless chilling aura began to rise.

"Shangwuying, Fenwuying! Put up your shield! Go to the southeast forest!"

Lin Yi gave the order in a deep voice, although the voice was not loud, it was clearly transmitted throughout the camp.

The two full-strength battalions in charge of security didn't know why they put on a defensive posture, but the military orders were like mountains, and no one would question them at this time.

The shields of the King's Capital Defense Army are two large stretchable shields, usually the lower half is folded up at the top, only about half a person tall.

When it is officially used, open the buckle and put down the half of the shield, and it will become a huge shield that is taller than a person.

Whether it is the Shangwu Camp or the Fenwu Camp, only one school is equipped with this huge shield.

After hearing Lin Yi's order, [-] huge shields appeared in unison, and quickly arranged in a tight formation facing the direction of the forest.

As for the soldiers of the remaining two battalions, some of them raised their steel spears and poked out the tip of the spears from the gap in the giant shield.

Countless spikes appeared from the originally smooth shield array in an instant.

Shining coldly in the sun, it was as if a steel hedgehog had suddenly appeared.

There are also some soldiers hiding behind the shield array, bowing their bows and setting arrows, pointing the arrows obliquely at the sky, waiting for follow-up orders!
As long as Lin Yi gives an order, they will draw their longbows and throw a dense rain of arrows.

Lin Yi is quite satisfied with their speed and reaction. This is indeed an elite army, and there is almost no disorder in the whole process.

And those soldiers who were repaired were not affected too much, and they should eat and drink.

Before the order was issued, they didn't panic at all. At most, they arranged their weapons more conveniently, so as to ensure that they could enter the fighting state immediately.

The two thousand ambush soldiers who emerged from the forest in the distance saw the cold light reflected from the shield's spear blades, but they did not waver at all, and they still moved forward with firm steps for a certain distance.

After the four army formations had all left the woods and there was no shelter between the two sides, a deep shout sounded: "Stop!"

Everyone stops at the same time!

The loud shout sounded again: "Get up!"

The thousand-long crossbow was raised slightly, and the crossbow was aimed at Lin Yi at an elevation angle of 45 degrees.

"break!"

During the third shout, the Thousand Longbows emitted a crisp bowstring vibration almost simultaneously, followed by continuous pulling and firing.

In the blink of an eye, six thousand crossbows appeared in the air, densely packed like a swarm of bees, flying over a distance of six or seven miles, and then fell on Lin Yi's army.

The commanders of Shangwuying and Fenwuying were shocked at the same time. Before the crossbow arrows fell, they shouted hoarsely: "It's the mountain-piercing crossbow! The whole army defends!"

At this time, they don't care whether they are qualified to order the whole army to defend. They are all in the robes of the defense army of the king's capital, and it doesn't feel good for anyone to die.

Just now they were still secretly slandering that Lin Yi, the commander in chief, was really out of control, and for no reason asked two full-staffed battalions to be on guard, and suddenly asked them to stand up as shields.

If it wasn't for the fact that the military order was difficult to violate, none of them would want to talk to the general.

Until now, they didn't know how wise and wise the commander-in-chief's order was?

If they were attacked by the piercing armor-piercing crossbow unprepared, at least 2000 of them would die, not counting the wounded!
The rehabilitated soldiers reacted quickly, and they were mentally prepared just now, so they immediately defended.

One side of the shield was too late to open, and it directly protected the top.

When seven or eight shields are put together, two or thirty people can be hidden underneath.

Before they had any more reactions, the first round of crossbow arrows landed, and most of them landed on the shields erected by Shangwu Camp and Fenwu Camp.

There was no tinkling sound, only a muffled popping sound.

The piercing armor-piercing crossbow can be used as a sharp weapon to attack the city wall, but the huge shield of the king's city garrison cannot defend against the penetration of the crossbow.

Fortunately, the distance is relatively far, and the opponent uses projectiles instead of flat shots, which cannot fully exert the power of the crossbow.

Therefore, after the crossbow arrow penetrated the giant shield, it also lost its further attack kinetic energy, and could only get stuck on the giant shield and could not advance an inch.

The next few rounds of crossbow arrows were similar. For a while, the shield formations of Shangwuying and Fenwuying were filled with armor-piercing crossbows, and the soldiers behind the giant shields were all terrified.

Even iron-blooded soldiers would inevitably be terrified when they saw the crossbow arrows stuck on the shield in front of them.

If the opponent is one or two miles closer, the throwing angle is smaller or they simply shoot flat, I am afraid that there will be many casualties this time!
Most of the piercing armor-piercing crossbows were blocked by the shield array, but some of them had a slightly higher angle, crossed the frontmost shield array, and landed among the soldiers who were being repaired behind.

Although they had made defenses in time, some casualties were still inevitable.

With a sweep of Lin Yi's consciousness, he already had a count in his mind.

Three were killed and twelve were injured. For such a sneak attack, the loss can be said to be insignificant.

If Lin Yi made a move, there might not be a single casualty.

But this is war, and all soldiers should have the awareness that they must die.

Lin Yi didn't come to be a babysitter, to ensure that no one in this team will die!
Only by making them all feel the threat of death, will they burst out with stronger fighting power!

"Pro-Guard Battalion! Go out with me!"

Lin Yi's mouth curled into a sneer.

I didn't want to pay attention to that ambush at first, but since they really dare to stretch out their claws, they must be prepared to have their claws cut off!

It's not Lin Yi's style to just be beaten and not fight back!

The [-] guards who were just selected last night suddenly agreed
Although they haven't learned the way of battle, they are all the elite of this elite army. They were ambushed, and the fire in their hearts was already burning and about to explode.

The coach wanted to take them to take the initiative, and they didn't have the slightest fear at all. They all got on their horses silently and excitedly, and raised their weapons.

"Deputy Commander! Command the formation!"

Lin Yi explained to Wu Yucao to prevent her from rushing to the enemy army in the woods, and then led the [-] guards, circled an arc from the side, and pierced towards the target like a sharp knife.

After shooting a group of crossbow bolts in the woods, another group was filled, and after shooting empty, he began to retreat, and he was familiar with dismantling the long crossbow during the retreat.

Their goal was not to completely annihilate Lin Yi's army, two thousand to twenty thousand, even with a sneak attack with a piercing crossbow, it would be difficult to achieve this.
