Chapter 650 Defeated
Sixty miles away from Andy City, two huge armies scattered in sequence, looking at several miles apart. A senior officer wearing a tall horse and beautiful armor rushed out of his respective armies and entered the central area of the two armies.
"I am the Imperial Marshal Long Qian. If you are willing to put down your weapons and surrender unconditionally, I can forgive your sins on behalf of the Empire. Otherwise, after the imperial army captures Andy City, you will be killed!" Long Qian, riding on a group of horses and under the escort of a large number of elite guards, entered the formation, looked at Zhou Ming and Zhao Fei and other senior officers in Andy City, shouting loudly.
"It is absolutely impossible to make us surrender unconditionally! As for you to break through Andy City, it is simply a joke. Not to mention capturing Andy City, even whether your army can exist tomorrow is a huge question!" Zhou Ming, who was wearing military uniform, said loudly with disdain on his face when he heard Long Qian's words.
"What nonsense to talk to a group of dying people? Let's do it directly. The young master is waiting for our good news!" As soon as Zhou Ming's voice fell, Zhao Fei, who was beside him, said loudly.
"There is no need to talk nonsense with a group of dying people! Pass my order, and the catapult and crossbow arrow formation immediately launch a covert attack on the enemy!" Hearing Zhao Fei's words, Zhou Ming nodded gently and ordered loudly to the messenger beside him.
Long Qian, wearing golden armor, was angry after hearing Zhou Ming and Zhao Fei's words, and his face was full of anger. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He had a gloomy face and said in a cold tone: "Kill me, no one left!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
With Long Qian's order, more than 100,000 elite imperial soldiers made loud shouts of killing, raised their sharp weapons, and led by commanders at all levels to take steps to launch a charge to the location of Andy City's army, as if only one charge could defeat Andy City's army.
Faced with the fierce charge of more than 100,000 imperial soldiers, the army of Andy City was unmoved. Catastrophes and large crossbow formations were pushed out by a soldier in the city guards and aimed at the more than 100,000 imperial soldiers who were charging forward.
"Let it go!" With the arrival of the command, the catapults began to move. Large stones weighing several tons were shot out by the catapults, like meteorites, tilting towards the heads of more than 100,000 imperial soldiers, as if they were about to smash the imperial army into meat sauce.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amid a violent roar, large stones weighing several tons continued to fall on the heads of the imperial soldiers, ruthlessly smashing an imperial soldier into meat sauce, leaving behind broken limbs and broken arms all over the ground.
At the same time, large crossbow formations also shot out sharp crossbow arrows under the control of the city guard soldiers. Suddenly, tens of thousands of sharp crossbow arrows were seen pouring towards the imperial soldiers like heavy rain, easily breaking through the armor of the imperial soldiers, piercing through the bodies of the imperial soldiers, making them scream in shrill screams, and becoming broken corpses.
In order to allow the city guards and the escorts to win the battle easily and smoothly, Zhao Hu added a total of 1,000 catapults and a thousand large crossbow formations to the city guards. Each catapult is equipped with 100 large polished stones. Each large crossbow formation can shoot 100 sharp arrows at one time, which can be shot 100 consecutive times.
During this battle, more than 100,000 imperial troops must face the large stones shot by a thousand catapults and sharp crossbow arrows shot from a thousand large crossbow formations. After paying a huge price of casualties, they can approach the position where the city guards and the merchant regiment guards are located, and fight fiercely with the city guards and the merchant regiment guards.
A catapult has 100 large polished stones. A large crossbow array can shoot out 100 sharp arrows at one time. It has 10,000 spare arrows. A thousand catapults will shoot out all the stored large stones, which is 100,000 large stones. A thousand large crossbow arrays can shoot out all the spare arrows, which is 10 million sharp arrows.
Of course, it is impossible for all the spare large stones and crossbow arrows of the catapult and large crossbow array to be shot out, because in just one round of strike, one thousand large stones and one hundred thousand sharp arrows directly killed tens of thousands of imperial soldiers, and cleared all the imperial soldiers charged in front, causing the imperial soldiers charged behind to be shocked, and their faces were full of horror. The formation became chaotic in an instant. Some imperial soldiers even turned around and fled subconsciously, and were ruthlessly killed by the imperial supervision team to show public.
Seeing that the catapult and large crossbow formation were so effective, and in just one round of attack, tens of thousands of imperial soldiers were killed. Zhou Ming's face showed surprise and immediately ordered the catapult and large crossbow formation to speed up the attack speed.
Under Zhou Ming's urging, a thousand catapults and a thousand large crossbow formations were fully fired. Stones weighing several tons and sharp arrows were pouring out like heavy rain, constantly pouring out towards the imperial soldiers, killing an imperial soldier ruthlessly.
In just a few minutes, the catapult and the large crossbow formation carried out three rounds of shooting, ruthlessly killing tens of thousands of imperial soldiers charging forward, and collapsed the offensive of the imperial soldiers and fled to the rear, not daring to charge against the dense rain of stones and arrows.
Seeing the imperial soldiers collapsed under the dense rain of stones and arrows and fleeing towards the rear, Zhou Ming and Zhao Fei did not hesitate or hesitate at all, and immediately issued an order to attack the entire army, trying to defeat the imperial army before they were organized, so that they could not gather and form strong resistance, easily defeat the imperial army completely and obtain victory in the battle.
With the orders from Zhou Ming and Zhao Fei, in addition to the 10,000 city guards who guarded the catapults and large crossbow formations, the other 20,000 city guards and 100,000 merchant regiment guards roared, waved the sharp weapons in their hands, took steps, and ran towards the direction where the imperial army was.
The imperial army collapsed and fled under the dense rain of stones and arrows, which greatly increased the morale of Andy's army. They roared, stepped on their feet, and chased them towards the direction of the imperial army's escape, hoping to kill or capture imperial soldiers, obtain merits, promotions and wealth.
The imperial army, which collapsed in the dense rain of stones and arrows, had already fallen into the valley. With the pursuit of more than 100,000 Andy City troops, the imperial army completely collapsed. It was no longer possible to estimate the existence of the supervisory team, so it spread its feet and fled to the distance, so as not to be killed by Andy City troops.
Faced with the situation of defeat, Long Qian's face was ashen, his eyes flashed with endless anger, and his whole body was trembling. Under the escort of hundreds of elite guards, he rode a horse and fled to the distance.
At this moment, facing the collapsed imperial army, Long Qian had lost control of the imperial army and could not stop effective resistance at all. He could only escape from the pursuit of Andy City army, and was trying to gather the defeated troops and reorganize the attack on Andy City.
However, Long Qian's idea is good, but the reality is extremely cruel. How could more than 100,000 soldiers in Andy City, who were highly motivated, let go of the depressed and unorganized imperial soldiers?
Under the pursuit of more than 100,000 soldiers of Andy City, more than 100,000 elite imperial soldiers were either ruthlessly killed or put down their weapons and surrendered. Except for a small number of imperial soldiers who escaped from the sky, most of the imperial soldiers were either ruthlessly killed or became prisoners of Andy City.
In the evening, more than 100 miles away from Andy City, on the side of a quiet path, more than 300 men wearing fine armor and sharp weapons, wearing cloaks made of green grass, quietly lying in the dense grass.
"Boss, will the Imperial Marshal really take this road?" A strong man looked at the scarred man beside him and asked softly with some concern.
"Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the terrain here. If the Imperial Marshal wants to leave our sphere of influence in Andy City earlier and does not want to be captured by our Andy City army, he can only take this small path to Tianyu City!" Hearing the strong man's words, the scarred man responded softly.
Hearing the words of the Scar Man, the strong man stopped talking, but lay quietly on the ground, waiting for the arrival of the Imperial Marshal.
This scarred man is Zhong Zida, who has just joined the Zhao merchant group to guard the escort. More than 300 strong men lying nearby, all of whom are his subordinates.
Zhong Zida did not chase and kill prisoners of the imperial soldiers like others to obtain credit. Instead, after the collapse of the imperial army, Zhou Ming and Zhao Fei issued the order to attack freely, he led more than 300 powerful men under his command to ambush the path leading to Tianyu City, waiting for the arrival of the imperial marshal Long Qian, who wanted to ambush Long Qian's guards, capture Long Qian alive and make great contributions, and enter the Zhao family's vision.
As for how Zhong Zida knew that the Imperial Marshal Long Qian would definitely walk through this path because Zhong Zida was very familiar with the nearby terrain and knew that only this secret path could avoid the sight of Andy City's army and arrive in Tianyu City in the shortest time.
After the imperial army was defeated by the empire, the imperial army must have wanted to leave the sphere of influence of Andy City in the shortest time and enter a safe city. Therefore, Zhong Zida ambushed on this path and wait for the arrival of the empire Marshal Long Qian. Mobile users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
