Chapter 365: Attack of the Beasts (3)


"Come here, give me the order to move all the large crossbows back and set them up again.

The bottoms should be elevated so that they can be fired at the wolves.

The shooters' field of vision should be wide.

Order the spearmen to move forward and deploy them at the outermost edge of the defense circle. " As Liu Cheng's military order was issued, the soldiers withdrew large crossbows and bed crossbows to the rear and set them up again.

Teams of spearmen collectively moved forward to get close to the vehicle formation, relying on the vehicle formation for defense.

According to the arrangement of the spear array, the soldiers on the front, back, left and right are closely connected, leaving no gaps.

Each soldier is responsible for a spear.

The spear is inserted diagonally on the ground, and the spear shaft is held tightly with both hands to keep it in any situation.

It can't move at all.

"Lord, the large crossbows and bed crossbows have all been re-set up, and the spear formations have also been arranged."

Ma Chao came over and reported to Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng nodded: "Let the soldiers wait patiently.

If you squat on the ground for a long time, you can change your position, but you are not allowed to move around casually."

"yes" After a while, the intensity of the fire outside the defensive circle decreased, and the fire was not as bright as before.

The Wolf King, who had higher intelligence, may have thought that the time had come, and let out several wolf howls in succession.

The super strong soldiers immediately reported one by one that the position of the Wolf King had not changed.

Liu Cheng gave these three soldiers with super strong ears a resounding name "Wind Listener".

As the howl of the wolf king continued to be heard, the wolves moved again.

They began a large-scale operation.

They rushed towards the defense circle in groups quickly.

Liu Cheng shouted: "Attention, all the shooters of large crossbows and bed crossbows are ready.

The spearmen phalanx in front has been stabilized by me.

No one is allowed to retreat without permission.

Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy."

The size and weight of the calf-sized snow wolves were there.

Although they rushed over very quickly, their flexibility was still limited by their huge size and weight.

When they ran, they also made a rumble on the ground.

A shaking sensation came.

"Large crossbow launch, bed crossbow launch, archer launch" As Liu Cheng's order was issued, the archers behind fired a large number of arrows.

These arrows have limited lethality against snow wolves of this mutant size.

Their skin The thick flesh makes it difficult to cause fatal injuries to them, but it can still cause some damage to them and make them feel a little wary.

The launch of large crossbows and bed crossbows are the attacks that can really cause fatal damage to the snow wolves.

The impact power and armor-breaking ability of the crossbow arrows modified from spears are beyond the comparison of ordinary arrows.

A single crossbow arrow can often shoot two to three snow wolves through each other.

This kind of penetrating injury is fatal.

The snow wolf that is shot will lose the ability to move on the spot and will soon die of blood loss.

Waves of arrows were shot out continuously, which brought a certain delay to the charge of the snow wolves.

Many unlucky snow wolves were shot at weak defense parts and were seriously injured.

There were also many snow wolves.

They also suffered some injuries, and some snow wolves were shot in vital parts such as their eyes, but this aroused their ferocity even more.

After suffering hundreds of casualties, the snow wolves finally rushed to the edge of the defensive circle.

They were able to rush to the edge of the defensive circle so easily.

This was mainly due to their running speed.

Under full sprint, they were faster than horses.

Both can run and rush fast, and they are more agile than horses.

The snow wolves easily jumped onto the outermost car formation, but a barrage of crossbow arrows killed them.

The first wave of snow wolves that jumped on the car formation were almost shot at them at the same time.

All the crossbow arrows were shot down.

Their huge size and weight fell down and became stepping stones for the newcomers, making it easier for the latter to jump onto the car formation.

Wave after wave of crossbow arrows kept coming, and the snow wolves behind kept rushing forward.

After several consecutive rounds of charging, the firing speed of the large crossbows and bed crossbows of the Han army soldiers could no longer keep up with the snow wolves.

The speed at which the wolves rushed up.

Finally, some snow wolves broke through the defensive circle and rushed into the spear phalanx, but they directly hit the spearheads of the dense forest and were smashed into sieves.

The spear phalanx in the inner circle of the vehicle formation was like a huge trap.

The snow wolves rushed down from the vehicle formation and were unable to avoid it.

It was as if they had fallen into a trap.

Below the trap were dense spikes, and no one could fall off.

Exceptions will be stabbed through the body.

But there were still snow wolves who were struggling desperately.

After being injured, they went crazy and bit the Han soldiers around them.

Many Han soldiers were bitten to death.

The spear phalanx also suffered some damage at this time, and some positions were bitten to death.

Many soldiers had vacancies, but the soldiers behind them immediately filled their positions.

The snow wolves were trapped in the spear phalanx and suffered heavy casualties.

The snow wolves who continued to rush towards the car formation also showed fear and fear.

One of them stood on the car formation and did not dare to rush down, but they soon The incoming crossbow arrows were killed one by one, and their corpses were piled up like a hill inside and outside the car array.

At this time, the wolf king in the rear also found that the attack was hindered and could not continue.

After howling a few times, the snow wolves retreated like a tide and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

The pressure just now was too much for them.

They had never seen such a huge and intelligent wolf in their lives, but the psychological pressure of countless snow wolves charging at them far exceeded A neatly formed cavalry army rushed over from the opposite side.

Liu Cheng touched his chin and asked: "Where is the quartermaster?"

After hearing the news, the quartermaster immediately ran over and saluted with his hands raised: "My lord, my subordinates are here."

Liu Cheng asked: "Is there any kerosene among the existing military supplies?"

The quartermaster replied: "Back to my lord, since we did not plan to attack the city during this expedition, we did not carry much kerosene.

There are only 80 barrels left, which are used for lighting lamps."

Liu Chengdao: "Ignore the lighting issues in the future, take out all the kerosene, and arrange for some soldiers to cross the defensive circle of the vehicle formation to spread the kerosene evenly outside.

Sprinkle it in a circle, and the depth should be longer.

Soldiers, don’t be afraid, we are here to provide them with long-range cover.

Once a pack of wolves approaches, the crossbowmen will kill them."

"Yes, lord, my subordinates will make arrangements right away."

The quartermaster agreed and immediately turned around to make arrangements.

Liu Cheng then called for Ma Chao, Yan Xing and Yang Ding and said: "There will be several fierce battles tonight.

The soldiers have never seen such a huge wolf.

They must have a sense of fear in their hearts, so I I need a few of you to lead the team at the front of the defensive circle.

Command, hoping to stabilize the morale of the troops.

In addition, let the generals, captains and officers below all block the outermost perimeter to give the soldiers a reassurance.

Only when the soldiers see you generals taking the lead can they have the courage and strength to persevere. " Ma Chao, Yan Xing and Yang Ding all clasped their fists and agreed: "Yes" Groups of soldiers carried kerosene barrels and climbed over the car formation to sprinkle kerosene on the ground outside the defensive circle.

Guo Jia came over and said to Liu Cheng: "My lord, the wolf king is very intelligent.

Will he see that my lord is here?"

Purpose" Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Fengxiao filtered it.

No matter how smart the Wolf King is, its knowledge is limited.

Even if it is smarter than humans, will it know what the kerosene does if it has never seen kerosene?

Maybe it is very Smart, but knowledge will limit its wisdom and talents.”

Guo Jia nodded: "That's right."

Liu Cheng immediately issued another order, asking the soldiers to pile up all the wolf carcasses in the outermost defense circle, and asked some soldiers to stand on the piled up wolf carcasses for defense.

More than three hours passed, but the wolves made no move.

This seemed to make the Han soldiers think that the wolves had retreated.

However, Liu Cheng and others knew that the wolves would never retreat easily.

The Wolf King was just planning a new attack.

Strategy and biding your time.

The fire outside the defensive circle gradually went out, until the entire battlefield fell into darkness.

At this time, the hearts of the Han soldiers in the defensive circle were tightened.

Liu Cheng is waiting, and so is the Wolf King.

It was already late at night.

After a series of fights and more than three hours of tense confrontation and rest, many of the Han soldiers were feeling sleepy.

The Wolf King was waiting for this moment, so he gave the order, but It does not use howls to signal.

The wolves were moving quietly in the darkness, but this was noticed by three wind listeners, and they all heard the movement.

"Lord, the wolves are approaching us quietly, and the nearest wolf is only two hundred steps away," a listener reported to Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng thought for a while and ordered: "Don't be anxious, wait until the front wolf is only fifty steps away from the outer defense circle before reporting."

"Yes, my lord" The closer the wolves are to the defensive circle, the denser they will be and the easier they will be killed by crossbow arrows.

As time passed, the wolves finally quietly approached within fifty steps of the defensive circle.

After hearing the report from the listener, Liu Cheng immediately ordered: "Let the sharpshooter light the last dozen pyres to let everyone Archers and crossbowmen ready to fire" "Yes, my lord" A wave of rockets was shot out from the defensive circle, and the last dozen or so firewood piles outside the defensive circle were instantly ignited.

The flames shot into the sky, illuminating everything around them.

Snow wolves appeared in front of the Han soldiers with no way to hide.

In front of you.

"Fire the arrow!"

the herald shouted.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Countless arrows fell overwhelmingly outside the defensive circle, and the snow wolves howled miserably.

Some were shot dead on the spot, while others rushed over like crazy after being shot.

Seeing that its deployment had been exposed, the Wolf King did not hesitate and immediately howled a few times, and all the snow wolves rushed towards the defense circle crazily.

During the impact, snow wolves were constantly being killed by crossbows.

Snow wolves the size of calves rushed towards him.

They frantically attacked the car formation and piled up wolf carcasses.

The huge impact force made the car formation topple.

Unable to hold on any longer, the carriages originally piled with goods were knocked over, and the piles of wolf carcasses were knocked down.

The Han soldiers who were defending on the piles of corpses were also knocked upside down
