After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1249 A Shocking Event [2]

"Yes!" Leader Shanshan also hated these beasts to the core and immediately shouted, "All guards, listen to my command, prepare!"

The sound of footsteps echoed rapidly as the female guards, carrying bundles of sharp weapons on their backs and keeping their bodies low, rushed toward the shield formation erected by the shield soldiers.

Aunt Wen also shouted, "Shanying Sharp Weapons Team, follow along!"

With a whoosh, the Shan Ying team, armed with sharp weapons, quickly followed and assembled behind the shield bearers.

"What are you doing here? Quickly escort the mountain people and their families into the city!" Commander Zhen shouted. "These beasts are not human. You must leave now and not stay behind to face danger!"

Qin Xiaomi had already dismounted and, with two imperial guards, came to the back of the shield bearers: "Take out the throwing devices and assemble them!"

After giving the order, she finally had a chance to say to Commander Zhen, "Don't worry, Commander, we have powerful weapons. We'll use them and run, and we won't linger in battle! If we fall into enemy hands, we'll fight to the death with them and we will never be controlled by them!"

"We are the Imperial Guards under His Majesty's command, and we will protect Master Qin!" the two Imperial Guards said, standing guard beside Qin Xiaomi.

"Awooo! Hahaha!" A series of wild shouts and laughter rang out as the enemy troops from the three eastern deserts galloped back and forth on horseback, some of them even spinning skeletons in their hands.

The rotation force was too great...

Crack, crack, crack—the neck bone broke, falling to the ground along with the spine. The enemy soldier had only long black hair and a head in his hands.

"Release the arrows and kill these beasts!" Commander Zhen didn't care about Qin Xiaomi and the others; he only wanted to kill the enemy troops from the Eastern Desert.

Whoosh whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows rained down like rain.

pity……

Clatter, clatter, clatter, the enemy troops spurred their horses and retreated. Throat, thud, thud, thud, clang, clang, clang, the arrows either pierced the ground or were deflected by small shields, and very few enemy soldiers were hit by arrows.

"Hahaha!" The enemy's laughter rose again, and they shouted in this direction: "You bastards from Wei, your Tianmang Prefecture and Dongming Prefecture have been completely wiped out by us, leaving only scorched earth. Your Wei people and Wei soldiers have all been slaughtered and turned into this thing. Is it pretty? Hahaha!"

"Come on, throw another batch of skeletons into this batch of grain-eating bastards, let them see what happens when they oppose our Eastern Desert!"

Thump thump thump, thump thump thump!
The enemy's strange war drums resounded all around.

To the sound of drums, fleshy skeletons were placed on small catapults or strapped to large crossbow bolts.

Whoosh whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh!
A skeleton with hair was thrown over here.

As the enemy retreated, the skeleton was now about ten meters away from the shield formation.

"Commander Zhen, the range is not enough. Send the shield bearers forward!" Qin Xiaomi said, "Have the soldiers hide inside the shield formation and not rush out to collect the skeletons. This is the enemy's tactic of provoking and surrounding us. Once they go out, they will be shot to death by the enemy's arrows."

"Shieldbearers, advance! No one may break out of the shield formation without orders!" Commander Zhen gave the order, but he still wanted to salvage the skeletons of the Wei soldiers and civilians!
"Shieldbearers, rise! Push forward!"

At a command, more than a hundred shield soldiers picked up their heavy shields and quickly advanced forward.

Qin Xiaomi: "Keep up with the weaponry team, don't fall behind... Prepare the torches with fuses, stay steady, aim carefully, and don't make a mistake!"

"Yes," Shanshan and the others responded, taking their sharp weapons and small throwing devices, and pushing forward along with the shield formation.

"Hahaha, that bastard Liang Wei is so arrogant, daring to advance towards us. He's coming to die for us!" The enemy troops in front were very arrogant, and when they saw the shield soldiers advancing towards them, they neither dodged nor gave way.

He also ordered: "Prepare the skeletons and large arrows, slaughter this group of Wei soldiers who are consuming grain!"

"Awoooooo!" The enemy troops from the Eastern Desert were extremely excited, shouting and laughing.

Ha, let you laugh...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
One after another, half-pound gunpowder packets, with fuses nearly burned out, swooped down toward them.

The enemy troops from the Eastern Desert were taken aback: "What is this? A package?"

Yes, a package containing your ashes.

Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!

A deafening roar erupted, accompanied by flames and the mangled limbs of enemy soldiers.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Gunpowder packs and small balls were dropped from the air again.

Rumble rumble rumble rumble!

After the deafening roar, enemy soldiers were killed or wounded, and several large craters were blown into the ground, causing the earth to tremble slightly, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Rumble rumble rumble rumble!

The gunpowder charges came again, relentlessly and densely, like thunder, all aimed at shattering the enemy's formation in one fell swoop.

Each time, thirty or forty gunpowder packets were thrown, each weighing half a pound, for a total of twenty pounds of gunpowder. Inside were also sharp iron nails and a sedative that would make people weak in the limbs.

Puff puff puff puff!
Driven by the explosive force of gunpowder, sharp iron nails pierced the skin of enemy soldiers exposed outside their armor. Many enemy soldiers had their skulls pierced by the nails that bounced from their jaws or into their carotid arteries.

More sharp iron nails pierced the bodies of the warhorses. These three enemy forces were all light cavalry, each with their own warhorse, and many of the horses, after being pierced, ran around in pain.

Bang bang bang bang!

The warhorses collided, and many enemy soldiers were thrown from their horses.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

Horse hooves trampled the enemy soldiers, some bleeding, some with their intestines spilling out, and some with their limbs broken.

"Ahhh!" The enemy soldiers screamed incessantly. Of the three thousand cavalrymen, the first thousand were completely thrown into disarray.

"Aim, fire, don't stop, blast them to death!" Qin Xiaomi shouted, and also said to Zhen Qianhu, "Push the shield formation forward, try to scatter their cavalry at the rear as well!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Rumble rumble rumble rumble!

The gunpowder packs were fired again, blowing up many more enemy soldiers.

The enemy troops at the rear were completely dumbfounded: "What are Dongsto and the others doing?!"

"Forget about Dongsto, retreat! The Wei bastards have strange weapons!" Dongsto shouted from the middle section, already leading the cavalry to retreat.

Extremely unwilling, he changed the order: "All soldiers of the Eastern Desert, circle around from both sides, and once you reach the firing range, launch a long-range attack on the Liangwei barbarians from both sides, seize their strange weapons, and dissect them alive, so that they will know the consequences of resisting the divine protection of the Eastern Desert!"

Thump thump thump, thump thump thump!
The strange drumbeats that stirred the bad heart sounded again, and the Dongshang tribe in the middle section and the Donghata tribe in the back section all circled around to the left and right.

"Ha, perfect timing!" Qin Xiaomi laughed and ordered, "Shan Ying's weapon squad, turn to the left; Shan Shan's weapon squad, turn to the right. As soon as the enemy enters the firing range, bombard them immediately and send them flying!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The three groups should be sound troops, two groups should be armed troops, and the third group should be shield soldiers.

As the battle situation changed, the shield bearers also changed their formation, forming a semi-circle formation with the front, left, and right sides to block the enemy's long-range attacks.

"Ready, fire!"

whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Boom boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom boom!

Gunpowder packets flew out from the left and right sides of the shield formation, heading straight for the two cavalry units of Dong Shang and Dong Tian.

"Hiss hiss hiss—!" The warhorses of the Eastern Desert had never heard such a loud noise before, and were also injured by iron nails, so they were completely thrown into chaos.

The enemy troops in the Eastern Desert desperately tried to control the reins, wanting to urge their warhorses forward.

Bang bang bang bang!
With a flick of its steed, it threw the Eastern Desert soldiers off their horses and galloped away.

"Aaaaah—!" The shrill screams continued, and even the warhorses were frightened and ran even faster.

Commander Zhen felt exhilarated and ordered, "Shieldbearers and female soldiers with sharp weapons on both sides, continue to push forward and blast these beasts to death!"

With a whoosh, the two sides quickly advanced a few meters and then hurriedly threw out gunpowder packs.

whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Boom boom boom boom!

The flames, like fireworks, suddenly shot up, exploded, and then quickly disappeared.

Only those who were close by knew that the area bombed by gunpowder was full of craters of all sizes and incomplete corpses.

"Finish off the stray arrows! Don't let the wounded soldiers from the Eastern Desert, who are faking their deaths, fire a sneak attack!" Commander Zhen shouted.

whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The archers immediately unleashed a barrage of arrows to both sides, raining down arrows that pierced the corpses and wounded soldiers of the enemy.

Another scream rang out, and many of the Eastern Desert soldiers who were pretending to be dead crawled back, trying to get out of the firing range in order to survive.

But today, none of them will survive!
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
War drums sounded from both sides, with Commander Fan on one side and Grandpa Qin's troops on the other.

"Fire arrows and kill the enemy's deserters!"
