School flower's personal master

Big defeat

People from Heimei Commandery also began to send more scouts. Although they couldn't detect the movements of Liu Ziyu's main force, they never fell into a disadvantage in the scout battle.

The main force of the two sides finally met head-on after an hour, twenty thousand against ten thousand, Heimei County showed no timidity, and put on a tough posture.

"Commander, the army of Heimei County is a bit weird. Facing an enemy twice as large as itself, they didn't retreat immediately. Do they have enough self-confidence or do they have some kind of conspiracy? We have to guard against it!"

As a military adviser, Jin Yuanbao naturally offered his own suggestion: "The cavalry has already outflanked the troops, and no ambushes have been found. I suspect that they have a large number of long-range attack weapons in their army, which is why they are so calm!"

What is the most famous weapon in the Black Charm County?
Mountain-piercing armor-piercing crossbow!
This army does not look like a large armor-piercing crossbow, but it is not troublesome to carry a batch of simplified armor-piercing crossbows.

The 2000 people who ambushed Lin Yi before brought a thousand simplified armor-piercing crossbows, which finally made it easier for Lin Yi and the garrison of the capital.

If there are [-] armor-piercing crossbows in the team of [-] people in front of them, it will be enough to pose a fatal threat to Liu Ziyu's army.

"What the military adviser said makes sense, but the current situation is already on the verge of an arrow, so we have to do it!"

Liu Ziyu also understood the danger.

The problem is that he, as the head coach of the reinforcements, brought the 1 elite garrison troops of the king's capital, and if the [-] people in the Heimei County dare not go up, how can he still support it!
Go back to the capital and change to Lin Yi sooner rather than later!
Jin Yuanbao also understood this, so after he had done his duty, he stopped talking.

The [-] infantry of Hongshang County formed a square formation and slowly approached the army of Heimei County.

The four thousand cavalry on the flank circled an arc, ready to attack the enemy's side from a distance.

War is imminent!
The army of Heimei County was as motionless as a mountain, just quietly watching the garrison of the king of Hongshang County approaching.

It wasn't until the distance between the two sides was about two miles that their front row sergeants suddenly squatted down neatly, and from their shoulders, a crossbow bolt with a piercing mountain crossbow emerged.

two thousand!

A total of [-] mountain-piercing armor-piercing crossbows were aimed at the array of Hongshang Commandery!

Compared with the previous ambush against Lin Yi when he was leading the army, there are more armor-piercing crossbows this time, and the distance between the two sides is also closer, so the power is naturally stronger!

A group of piercing armor-piercing crossbows has six bolts, and it doesn't take too much time to replace them. Therefore, in order to break through this distance, the [-] infantry of Hongshang County must bear at least [-] to [-] bolts!

"shield!"

There was a melodious shout from the infantry formation of Hongshang Commandery.

The soldiers at the front unfolded the retractable shields to form a shield wall, while the soldiers behind held the shields to protect the upper part to avoid being attacked by the crossbow arrows falling from above.

The neat shield wall continued to move forward, and the phalanx formed by the ten thousand soldiers was like a moving steel fortress, continuing to move forward fearlessly.

There was a sneer on the corner of Heimei County's mouth.

Two miles is already the maximum attack range of the piercing armor-piercing crossbow, so he waved his arm without hesitation and gave the order to attack.

Waves of piercing armor-piercing crossbows were like dense swarms of bees, directly cutting through the distance between the two armies with flat shots, and crashing into the shiny shield wall.

The originally neat shield wall was torn apart in an instant, and the huge kinetic energy penetrated the shield and continued to pierce through the bodies of the soldiers behind. If it wasn't for the shield to resist, the mountain piercing armor-piercing crossbow would have to penetrate at least three or five soldiers before it was exhausted.

In a blink of an eye, the front of the array of Hongshang Commandery was stripped of a layer, and the number of soldiers killed exceeded [-]!

"shield!"

The soldiers in the second row slammed down the upper shields to form a second shield wall, and the dead or not dead comrades in front became the buffer zone of the second shield wall!

The crossbow arrows did not stop, and continued to shoot continuously.

The soldiers in the first row, even their shields, were shot into rags, riddled with holes and completely crumbled.

The shield wall of the second row is about to follow suit, and the soldiers of the third row are ready to form a new shield wall.

Liu Ziyu's face was ashen. Facing the dense mountain-piercing armor-piercing crossbows, the soldiers of Hongshang County had no way to advance.

If we continue, it is estimated that before we get close to the opponent, the elite of the ten thousand kings' defense army will be completely wiped out.

"retreat!"

Liu Ziyu is very decisive, the current casualties are acceptable, if you continue to persist, it will really be over!

Hearing the signal to retreat, the infantry array still retreated slowly, but the Heimei County was not relentless at this time.

The mountain-piercing armor-piercing crossbow continued to extend its range, and at the same time, the array began to move forward slowly. It wanted to kill the Hongshang Commandery and swallow the [-] troops in one go!
"The cavalry go around and attack, and cover the infantry to retreat!"

Liu Ziyu continued to give orders. Originally, the cavalry was intended to be used to chase and kill the enemy army, but now it can only be used as a tool for harassment.

Li Yingjian on the side received the signal and took the lead in leading the cavalry to the rear of the Heimei Commandery array.

However, when they approached within three miles of the enemy's army, the formation of the Heimei Commandery at the rear changed rapidly, revealing another thousand mountain piercing armor-piercing crossbows!

The speed of Hei Linghan's horse was too fast, and Hei Mei County did not dare to let Li Yingjian's cavalry get too close, so it started firing crossbow arrows early.

This gave Li Yingjian and the cavalry some time to react. If they did not activate until they were within two miles, most of the [-] cavalry would die!

"retreat!"

Li Yingjian was not a foolhardy person. Faced with such a situation, he simply ran in an arc and led the cavalry around the mountain-piercing armor-piercing crossbow position.

The projected piercing armor-piercing crossbow did not cause too many casualties to the cavalry, which is already a blessing in misfortune.

And with Li Yingjian's harassment this time, the people of Heimei County stopped their pursuit and did not continue to chase the infantry array of Hongshang County.

However, the piercing armor-piercing crossbow did not stop, and continued to cause damage to the infantry phalanx of Hongshang County.

When the two sides finally left the battlefield, Hongshang County had more than [-] deaths and less than [-] injuries. The number of deaths was more than twice the number of injuries. It can be seen that the attack of the piercing armor-piercing crossbow is only terrifying!
An ordinary army, with a casualty rate of [-]% in a short period of time, is already on the verge of collapse.

The infantry phalanx of the King's Defense Army can retreat in an orderly manner, and finally leave the battlefield, which is enough to prove its elite level.

However, such an elite division can only be beaten but has no power to fight back. The two sides don't even have the chance to fight hand-to-hand!

Liu Ziyu led the army to prove the battle with Heimei County for the first time, and Heimei County had zero casualties!

Defeated!

Lin Yi's prestige in Se-Copper County was almost lost in one day!

The news was sent back to the capital, and the court was in an uproar!
