The Era of Generals

Chapter 322   One step too late

Bai Lie's army, who knew nothing about this, rushed towards the fortifications with indomitable steps.

The stormtroopers, in a group of 20, carried the improvised tall ladders on their shoulders, and rushed down the fortification wall at full speed like crazy.

These are all experienced veterans. They know that if they can get to the wall one step earlier, they will suffer fewer attacks. The closer they are, the less the threat of the catapult will be. The condescending shooting method of birth will also expose the opponent's archers to their own archers' vision, which greatly increases the danger.

So go ahead!

Everyone has this in mind, even the sword and shield players wearing heavy armor and heavy shields are walking briskly, as if there is no weight on their bodies.

Not only that, but Yan Haomiao's catapult troops followed closely behind the attacking phalanx.

After a day of preparation. The soldiers not only found a lot of boulders for use, but also collected a large number of broken stones, wrapped them in fur cloth, and made them into artificial boulders, just waiting for this time to show their power!

The fortifications were built very quickly. Although copper oil was poured to enhance the defensive ability, they were not as thick as the real city walls. Yan Haomiao believed that if he could shoot two or three rounds in a row, the attack of the catapult troops alone would be enough It is enough to blast a big hole in the fortifications, allowing his soldiers to directly engage with the opponent.

The 1.7 million people brought out this time are almost all the elites of his Mohe province. When it comes to individual combat strength, Yan Haomiao is sure that his own side will definitely be superior to the opponent's. After all, the reinforcements from Dongping City will not be selective. Choose carefully, but take the distance as a consideration.

In this way, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miscellaneous army. If he can reach the step of hand-to-hand combat, even if his troops are smaller, Yan Haomiao is confident that he will defeat these panicked enemy troops in one fell swoop.

What's more, in the current situation, if Dongping City did not continue to increase troops here within this day, on the contrary, his number of troops would be even more dominant.

You must know that Chen Ze's troops are still attacking behind the fortifications. When the two sides converge, it will be the end of the soldiers of Dongping City!

Soldiers are superior in quality, quantity, and morale. How can we lose?

Yan Haomiao, who was near the catapult troop, was counting his steps tightly in his mind. As long as he moved forward a little bit so that his catapult troop could attack the fortifications, then the battle would be considered settled!

Victory was in sight, even Yan Haomiao, who was always calm, couldn't help but feel agitated at this moment, clenched his fists, and felt his hands were wet, and his fists were wet with cold sweat.

Even when he was so nervous, in his busy schedule, Yan Haomiao couldn't help laughing wryly at himself, and then his eyes fixed!

According to his calculations, he only needs to go ten steps forward to enter the optimal attack distance, which can deal a heavy blow to the fortifications!

So far, everything has been going smoothly. With Chen Ze's troops holding back at the rear, their advance is extremely smooth. Apart from the catapult troops that are about to enter the range, Yan Haomiao also saw the troops ahead. The stormtroopers are also halfway through the journey, and from there, every time they take an extra step forward, the attacks they will suffer will be weakened by one point.

So, this is really the big picture, right?

Yan Haomiao has been holding the breath in his heart and has not been relieved. At this moment, he finally has the possibility to release it, which makes him feel relaxed.

But at this moment, on the opponent's fortification, the thick bowstring of the catapult roared again.

This was not the first time. During their charge, it was clear that the greater threat came from Chen Ze's troops in the rear, so the first two rounds of stone-throwing volleys all hit the rear.

So this round...

Yan Haomiao looked up at the sky, his complexion suddenly became extremely ugly.

"damn it!"

He cursed secretly, and his heart immediately burst into flames.

This round of undefeated people actually blasted towards him!

From the standpoint of the opponent, this is also true. After all, there are obviously more people on his side, and no matter how critical the rear is, there is absolutely no reason to ignore the front.

But what a pity!

Yan Haomiao shook his head slightly. If he could be given a little more time, his catapult would be able to hit the opponent. If he could attack in advance, the opponent would not have the chance to shoot him another round of catapult salvo. Then Naturally, his troops would not bite the bullet and take this round of stone-throwing blows.

What a pity...

Yan Haomiao sighed, but did not give a series of instructions such as dodging.

Now the battle is officially underway, and the soldiers he leads are not blind, how could they not see the attack of open swords and spears, whether to hide or not, whether they can escape, it is up to the soldiers on the front line to decide judge.

And what he can do at this time is to step up and urge his catapult troops to rush to a position where they can attack. Only by fighting back from his side can he help the frontline soldiers as much as possible and save them from being hit by artillery fire.

Can……

Yan Haomiao was about to turn around and urge the catapult troops to speed up their pace. When he fired back earlier, Lin Xiangyong, who had been guarding by his side, suddenly raised his brows and shouted anxiously: "My lord, hide!"

"Um?"

Yan Haomiao was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt bad. After he glanced at the night sky, his complexion also changed drastically!

This round of stone-throwing volley, the target of its attack was not the front line that was about to rush into the weakly defended area, but the straight... It hit his side!

"Well!"

At a critical juncture, Yan Haomiao only had time to make a noise, and felt a strong force coming from the side, but it was Lin Xiangyong who saw that the situation was urgent, so he couldn't care less about other things, so he rushed to hug Yan Haomiao, and directly threw him off his horse. He threw himself on his back.

boom!

The loud noise shook the sky, and countless boulders roared like flying fire meteors, and one of them directly hit the place where Yan Haomiao was originally.

All of a sudden, blood and fire splattered, broken arms and stumps flew together. BMW, which had followed Yan Haomiao for many years, did not have the same luck as Yan Haomiao. It fell apart immediately, and the hot horse blood A lot of them even splashed onto Yan Haomiao's face.

"ah!"

"Help... help!"

"Huo Huo Huo, hurry up and help me put out the fire!"

It wasn't just Yan Haomiao's horse that was hit hard, so that Yan Haomiao, who was protected by Lin Xiangyong, didn't even have time to feel sorry for his horse's death.

At this moment, what he was looking at with tearing eyes was his small catapult troop, the catapult troop that he had placed high hopes on, and was going to deal a heavy blow to the fortifications of the Zhuyan Empire...

Become fly ash.
