The king behind the empress

Chapter 437 The Whistle of Death Resounding Through the Battlefield

As soon as the flag fell, the morale of the Yin family's army, which was originally high, fell instantly.

In the era of cold weapons, the main focus of war is the commander, and the banner is the symbol of the commander, and it is precisely because of this that the impact of killing the general and capturing the flag is so fatal.

Now that the main general is dead and the banner is folded, the middle-level generals of the Yin family's army fell into panic instantly, but some still remembered their responsibilities and shouted loudly: "Yin's family, don't retreat!!!"

"Follow me to kill the enemy, don't..."

"Whoosh~"

Before the general finished speaking, Yang Yanzhang shot an arrow at him, and the general didn't even have time to block the bow and arrow, so he was killed with one arrow.

"Kneel down and accept the surrender!!!"

After shooting the general to death, Yang Yanzhang kept his subordinates, and he continued to shoot arrows. Several generals who wanted to stand up and abbot the overall situation were all named by him one by one, and they were all shot and killed on the spot!

After all, they are the soldiers who came to the back of the palace. It is impossible for the Yin family to leave behind a particularly strong general. The only golden body warrior in the army has long been taken away by him. Resist Yang Yanzhang's arrows.

Although Yang Yanzhang only shot and killed a small number of generals, as the remaining generals did not dare to take the lead, the formation of the entire Yin family army immediately fell into chaos.

Originally, the Red Flame Dragonriders, whose strength was far stronger than Yin's army, felt like entering a land of no one, killing wantonly among Yin's army.

And with the arrival of the Shenwei army from the rear, the soldiers of the Yin family army finally began to collapse after persisting for another half a quarter of an hour.

After some soldiers who feared death fled, a chain reaction was triggered directly, and the army immediately began to be completely defeated, and the Yin family army was defeated.

"Don't worry about these remnants, keep going!"

Han Qu stopped the Shenwei army from continuing to chase and kill the remnants, gathered the army, and then continued to rush forward following the footsteps of the red flame dragonriders.

These are just some abandoned pawns left behind. There is no need to spend too much time with him. It is a serious matter to catch up with the large troops of the previous families. As long as they can stay, these southern families will basically be abolished. up.

Just as the Red Flame Dragon Knight and the Shenwei Army continued to chase forward, the Habayashi Army and the Qianchuan Army had been fighting for a while.

Unlike the Red Flame Dragon Knight who only knows how to rush and fight, the Habayashi Army's style of play is very safe, and it can even be said to be very wretched.

Relying on their own strength and good equipment, they stood firmly in front of the Qianchuan Army and did not take the initiative to attack.

As long as the Qianchuan army dared to charge into battle, they would immediately shoot a wave of arrows and beat the Qianchuan army to the ground.

The Qianchuan army who was passively beaten could not fight back at all, because their bow and arrow range was not as good as that of the Habayashi army. When the arrows of the Habayashi army fell on them, their bow and arrow range was still one step away It's less than half the distance, and it can't be shot at all.

"How the hell do you fight!!!"

After another charge was shot back, the leading general of the Qianchuan Army angrily took off his helmet and smashed it to the ground.

They have charged back and forth more than a dozen times, leaving thousands of lives each time, and then retreated in embarrassment.

It's not that they don't want to risk their lives to rush in, but the rain of arrows from the Habayashi Army is too powerful. They have lost so many people just after entering the range of the Habayashi Army, and there is still such a long distance behind. If they continue regardless If he rushed forward, more than half of his Qianchuan army would be killed or injured.

Moreover, regardless of whether he has this ability in the Qianchuan Army, let the soldiers charge when they must die.

Even if he has that ability, there are only half of them left, so what if they rush up?Do you deliver food to the Habayashi Army?
The general looked at the battlefield in front of him bitterly. The space between them and the Habayashi Army was already full of arrows, at least hundreds of thousands of arrows, but even so, the Habayashi Army There is no lack of arrow branches.

Every time they rushed over, the Habayashi Army's arrows rained over as if they didn't want money, which showed that there was no shortage of arrows in their army.

"Didn't it mean that the court was short of money? How could it look like it was short of money?"

The general gritted his teeth and picked up his helmet that fell on the ground. To be honest, he would not be afraid of ordinary arrow formations, as long as the soldiers put their shields on their heads and charged forward.

Protected by a shield, the array of arrows may pose some threats to him, but it has no effect at all.

But the arrow array of the Habayashi Army is extraordinary!

The two-finger-thick wooden shield was penetrated by those arrows like tofu, even the iron shield, it could penetrate more than half, and then easily shot and killed the soldiers hiding behind.

So for the Qianchuan Army, the short distance of two miles between them and the Habayashi Army is simply a path to death!
Afterwards, the general also recovered some of the arrows shot by the Habayashi Army for research, only to find out that the arrowhead of this arrow was actually made of his mother's black iron.

This made him very puzzled. When can such a heavy thing as black iron be used to make arrows? Not to mention how difficult it is to make, just talk about the weight, how strong a bow is for this thing. Come out?

Are the soldiers of the Habayashi Army on the opposite side all animals?Aren't they tired with such a heavy bow?And he shot continuously for nearly half a quarter of an hour. Even Iron Man's arm should be broken, right?Why didn't the Habayashi army on the opposite side show any signs of exhaustion?
Just when the general was having a headache, an envoy came from the big tent to urge him, "General Xu, Master Situ asked me to urge you, so that you don't slack off and make a passage for the army as soon as possible."

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up your mother's egg!"

Seeing the emissary who spoke lightly, Xu Ling finally couldn't help but get a little furious. He grabbed the emissary by the neck and growled in a low voice: "I rushed over a dozen times just now and left more than 1 brothers behind. life."

"Is it because I don't want to make a passage? I can't get through!"

"This... this is... Lord Situ's order..."

Seeing Xu Ling, whose eyes were red, like a raging lion, almost peeing in fear, he stammered, "Don't get angry, General Xu. If you have... have any opinions, I... I will pass them on to you." .”

Hearing Situ Yao's name, Xu Ling barely regained his composure. The burly man grabbed the thin envoy as if he was holding a chicken. He casually threw the envoy on the ground, and said in a deep voice. Said: "Go and tell Lord Situ that the Habayashi Army uses black iron arrows, and the brothers can't rush through at all. Let him think of a way."

"If we continue to rush forward like this, our Qianchuan Army will collapse here."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The envoy, who was lucky enough to escape, nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said repeatedly: "I will convey it to Master Xu, please wait a moment, Master Xu."

After finishing speaking, the envoy saw that Xu Ling had no other objections, so he retreated cautiously. After retreating a little farther, the envoy breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Xu Ling would directly crush himself to death in a rage. After all, these barbarians in the army are unreasonable. Killing one or two envoys in a rage is nothing at all. With the name of Master Situ Yao, I guess I will be responsible for my life today.

After returning to Situ Yao's side, because of the urgent military situation, the emissary didn't dare to add more details, and honestly repeated Xu Ling's words to Situ Yao and the others.

"Ink iron arrow?"

Situ Yao couldn't help but frowned tightly when he heard the words. Apart from him, the faces of the other Patriarchs were also a little dignified.

Originally, they thought Situ Yao's Qianchuan Army hadn't worked hard enough, that's why they couldn't get in after so long. But now it seems that it's not that they didn't care, but that they really couldn't get in.

"Idiot who doesn't know how to change!"

Just when the patriarchs were still considering whether to send their own people to increase the strength of the Qianchuan Army, Situ Yao suddenly cursed, and then said with a cold expression: "Go tell Xu Ling that trash, let him He made the shield into three layers, two iron shields, and a wooden shield in the middle."

"If you still can't get in, then tell him to let him die on the battlefield and don't come back."

Although Xu Ling is capable, he has an impulsive temperament and doesn't know how to adapt. He is not qualified to be a general at all, so he has always been a deputy general before, mainly assisting Tu Yu, and more often than not, he acts as a general in the army. The role of a fierce general.

At this time, because Tu Yu and Bai Changqiu were both killed in battle, Situ Yao appointed him as the chief general, but he did not expect that this person would be so stupid.

Thinking of his two disciples who died in battle, Situ Yao felt a little pain in his heart. He was a little angry, but at this moment he waved his hand in a dispirited manner, and continued: "Tell him, I will transfer a batch of shields to him. , let him make a passage as soon as possible."

After giving the order, Situ Yao sighed weakly. He had to come to ask for instructions on such a simple matter, and he still felt wronged by costing tens of thousands of lives. Where did he, Xu Ling, have the face?
Moreover, the task I assigned to him is not difficult at all. He only needs to open a passage, and then the army of the aristocratic family will overwhelm them. At that time, they will be the most forward, and they will have nothing to do with them. Just get out and leave. .

It turned out that such a simple matter cost tens of thousands of lives and wasted so much time.

"Stack shield?"

Hearing Situ Yao's order and the batch of shields transferred, Xu Ling was stunned. After a while, he said with a blushing face, "The humble... I know."

Xu Ling really didn't know what to say at this time. One layer of shields can't block it, so you can take two more layers, with a wooden shield in the middle as a buffer. You only need to modify the wooden shield a little so that the topmost shield Shake hands and set it in, it can immediately form a three-layer shield.

Although it is a bit bulkier, it is indeed just right for blocking the black iron arrows of the Habayashi army.

As for such a simple question, I didn't expect that I would need Situ Yao to send someone to guide me.

Xu Lingxao's face turned red, he felt that he was sorry for those brothers who died on the battlefield before.

But the matter was at this point, and he didn't say anything more, just gritted his teeth, and after the shield was strengthened, he was the first to take the shield and take the lead in charging forward.

"Brothers, kill me!"

Xu Ling's roar resounded throughout the Qianchuan Army, "Revenge for the brothers who died in the battle before, and revenge for Young Marshal Tu!"

"Yo, finally learned to be smart."

Gu Hongze, the commander of the Yulin Army, looked at the Qianchuan Army holding up the three-layer shield, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face. He had watched the Qianchuan Army charge one after another before, and he really couldn't figure out why the commander on the opposite side was so stubborn and was shot dead. After seeing so many people, there was no sign of flexibility, and they continued to rush forward with their lives.

There was even a certain period of time when Gu Hongze wondered whether the commander on the other side was deliberately taking the lives of those soldiers to consume their arrows?
But looking at those soldiers who were still insisting on charging after most of their robes fell down, Gu Hongze didn't feel like it. After all, those who can do this are already regarded as absolute elites.

Using this kind of elite to consume their arrows, even Mo Zizai would not be able to make such a grand plan.

Therefore, Gu Hongze felt that the commander on the other side was probably just plain stupid.

Seeing that the Qianchuan army was finally equipped with a three-layer shield at this moment, Gu Hongze felt a little regretful. If the idiot commander on the opposite side continued to be stupid, then they would be able to deal with these elite Qianchuan army with bows and arrows alone.

"It's a pity."

Gu Hongze shook his head, but he didn't care too much, after all, he was never a commander who pinned his hopes on other people's stupidity.

He turned his head and called over a dozen archers from the Divine Bow Battalion, and said, "It's up to you guys, teach them a good lesson, and let them know what an archer is."

"Here!"

More than a dozen sharpshooters who were taller than ordinary people took off the big and exaggerated bows and arrows on their bodies. The bows in their hands alone could compare with Gu Hongze's height.

So every time Gu Hongze saw them, he was a little startled. If these sharpshooters were in the enemy's camp, it is estimated that other than himself, the other generals would not even dare to take the risk.

Just as Xu Ling was carrying the three-layer shield and leading the people to charge slowly, there were a few sharp noises on the battlefield, as if someone had whistled on the battlefield.

"Hey~"

When Xu Ling heard the sound, an arrow as thick as a javelin had already arrived in front of him. Because the distance was relatively far, Xu Ling still had a little time to react. He subconsciously put the three-layer shield on the ground, blocked in front of himself.

"Bang~"

The shield was three layers thick, and it was directly pierced by the blazing arrow shot by the Death Whistle. This arrow also pierced through Xu Ling's body, and then pierced through the two soldiers holding shields behind without diminishing momentum. This finally stopped.

"Is this the Whistle of Death?"

Xu Ling, who had only half of his body left, stared at the sky with regret. Before he completely lost consciousness, he heard the endless beeping sound, which began to resound throughout the battlefield.
