Chapter 440: The Whistle of Death resounding on the battlefield
As soon as the banner fell, the Yin family army's originally high morale fell instantly.
In the era of cold weapons, war mainly focuses on the head coach, and the big flag is the symbol of the head coach. It is precisely because of this that the influence of killing generals and seizing the flag is so fatal.
Now that the chief general died and the flag was broken, the middle-level general of the Yin family army was instantly panicked, but some people still remembered their responsibilities and shouted hard: "Yin family army, don't retreat!!!"
"Calendar with me, don't..."
"Swoosh~"
Before the general could finish his speech, Yang Yanzhang shot an arrow. The general had no time to block the bow and arrow and died with one arrow.
"Kneel down and surrender!!!"
After shooting the general to death, Yang Yanzhang's subordinates kept shooting the arrows and he continued to shoot them out. Several generals who wanted to stand up and maintain the overall situation were all shot and killed on the spot by him!
After all, it was a soldier who came to the palace. The Yin family could not leave behind a particularly strong general. The only Jin Body Warrior in the army had been taken away by him long ago. The remaining generals with average strength could not resist Yang Yanzhang's arrows at all.
Although Yang Yanzhang only shot a small number of generals, as the remaining generals did not dare to continue to emerge, the formation of the entire Yin family army immediately fell into chaos.
The Red Flame Dragon Cavalry, whose strength was far stronger than the Yin family's army, was even more like entering a no-man's land and killing in the Yin family's army.
With the arrival of the Shenwei Army in the rear, the soldiers of the Yin family army finally began to collapse after another half a quarter of an hour.
After some soldiers who were afraid of death fled, it directly caused a chain reaction. The army immediately began to be completely defeated, and the Yin family army was defeated.
"Don't worry about these remnants, keep moving forward!"
Han Qu stopped the Shenwei Army from continuing to pursue the remaining soldiers, gathered the troops, and then continued to rush forward with the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry.
These are just some abandoned soldiers who stayed behind and cut off the rear. There is no need to spend too much time with him. It is a serious matter to catch up with the large army of the aristocratic families in front. As long as they can be kept, these southern aristocratic families will basically be abandoned.
Just as the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry and the Shenwei Army continued to pursue, the Yulin Army had been fighting with the Guizhou-Sichuan Army for a while.
Unlike the Red Flame Dragon Knight who only knows how to rush and attack, the Yulin Army's fighting style is very stable, and it can even be said to be very vulgar.
They relied on their strong strength and good equipment to stand in front of the Guizhou and Sichuan Army and did not take the initiative to attack.
As long as the Guizhou and Sichuan Army dared to rush forward, they immediately shot over the rain of arrows and directly beat the Guizhou and Sichuan Army to the point of running away.
The Qianchuan Army, which was passively beaten, could not fight back at all because their range of bows and arrows was not as good as the Yulin Army. When the Yulin Army's arrows fell on them, their range of bows and arrows was still half a distance away from the Yulin Army and could not shoot at all.
"How can you fight this!!!"
After the charge was shot back again, the generals of the Guizhou and Sichuan Army, led by the Guizhou and Sichuan Army, angrily took off their helmet and smashed them to the ground.
They have charged back and forth for more than a dozen times, leaving thousands of lives each time, and then retreated in a mess.
It’s not that they didn’t want to risk their lives to rush in, but that the Yulin Army’s rain of arrows was too powerful. They had just entered the Yulin Army’s range and lost so many people, and there was still such a long distance behind them. If they continued to rush forward regardless of the situation, most of the Guizhou and Sichuan Army would have to be killed or injured.
Moreover, regardless of whether he has this ability in the Guizhou and Sichuan Army, he will let the soldiers charge forward if they are bound to die.
Even if he has that ability, only a half of them are left, so what can they do when they rush up? Will they deliver vegetables to Yulinjun?
The general looked at the battlefield ahead with hatred. There was already rain of arrows between them and the open space of the Yulin Army. At least hundreds of thousands of arrows must be there, but even so, the Yulin Army did not have the intention of missing arrow branches at all.
Every time they rushed over, the Yulin Army's arrow rain sprinkled over as if they didn't have money, which shows that there was no shortage of arrows in their army.
"Didn't it mean that the court is short of money? How could this look like a little lack of money?"
The general gritted his teeth and picked up his helmet that he had thrown to the ground. To be honest, if it were a normal arrow formation, he would not be afraid at all. He just wanted the soldiers to hold their shields and rush forward with their heads in silence.
With shield protection, the arrow formation may pose some threat to him, but it will not have any impact at all.
But the Yulin Army's arrow formation is extraordinary!
The wooden shield, which was two fingers thick, was penetrated by the arrows like tofu. Even the iron shield could penetrate more than half, and then easily shot the soldiers hiding behind.
So for the Guizhou and Sichuan Army, the short two-mile journey between them and the Yulin Army is simply a path to death!
Afterwards, the general also recycled some arrows shot from the Yulin Army for research, but found that the arrows of the arrow were actually made of his mother iron.
This made him very puzzled. When can the thing that is so heavy ink iron be used to build arrows? Not to mention how difficult it is to build it, just talking about the weight, how strong the bow must this thing be used to shoot it?
Are the soldiers of the Yulin Army opposite all livestock? Are they not tired with such a heavy bow? And they shot for nearly half a quarter of an hour, even the iron man's arm should have been broken, right? Why did the Yulin Army opposite show no sign of exhaustion?
Just when the general was in trouble, the envoy's urging came from the big tent, "General Xu, Lord Situ asked me to urge you, telling you not to slacken and create a passage for the army as soon as possible."
"It's a urging, it's a urging you!"
Looking at the messenger who spoke lightly, Xu Ling finally couldn't help but feel a little angry. He grabbed the messenger's neck and roared in a low voice: "I just rushed to the messenger more than ten times and lost more than 10,000 brothers' lives."
"Does I not want to make a way out? I can't rush through!"
"This... this is... Lord Situ's order..."
Looking at Xu Ling, whose eyes were red, like an angry lion, almost got scared to pee. He stuttered: "General Xu, don't be angry. If you have...an objections, I...I will convey it to you."
Hearing Situ Yao's name, Xu Ling barely regained some calmness. He was burly and grabbed the thin messenger, as if he was catching a little chicken. He threw the messenger on the ground casually, and then said in a deep voice: "You go and tell Lord Situ that the Yulin army uses iron arrows, and the brothers can't rush over at all, let him think of a solution."
"If we continue to rush like this, our Guizhou and Sichuan Army will be completely broken here."
“Yes, yes, yes…”
The messenger who escaped by chance pointed his head like a chicken pecking at rice. He kept saying, "I will convey it to Lord Xu now, please wait."
After saying that, the messenger saw that Xu Ling had no other opinions, so he carefully retreated. After retreating a little further, the messenger breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Xu Ling would kill him in anger. After all, these barbarians in the army were unreasonable. Killing one or two envoys in anger was nothing. If he hadn't been clever just now, even if he had brought out the name of Lord Situ Yao, he would probably have given his life here today.
After returning to Situ Yao's side, the envoy did not dare to add fuel to the fire due to the urgent military situation. He honestly repeated Xu Ling's words to Situ Yao and the others.
"Ink iron arrow?"
Situ Yao couldn't help frowning tightly when he heard this. Except for him, the other heads of the family also had a bit solemn expression.
Originally, they thought that Situ Yao's Guizhou and Sichuan Army could not work hard, so they could not kill for so long. But now it seems that it is not that they are not attentive, but that they really can't kill for it.
"An idiot who is ignorant!"
Just as the heads of the family were still considering whether to send his people to increase the Guizhou and Sichuan Army, Situ Yao suddenly cursed, and then said with a cold expression: "Go tell Xu Ling that waste, let him synthesize the shield into three layers, two layers of iron shield, and add a layer of wooden shield in the middle."
"If you can't kill this, then tell him to die directly on the battlefield and don't come back."
Although Xu Ling is capable, he is impulsive and does not know how to adapt. He is not qualified to be the leader at all. Therefore, he has always been a deputy general before, mainly to assist Tu Yu. In more cases, he plays the role of a powerful general in the army.
At this time, Tu Yu and Bai Changqiu both died in battle, Situ Yao asked him to serve as the chief general, but he didn't expect that this person would be so stupid.
Situ Yao felt a little ached when he thought of his two disciples who died in battle. He was a little angry, but at this time he waved his hand in vain and continued, "Tell him that I will transfer a batch of shields for him and let him make a path as soon as possible."
After giving the order, Situ Yao sighed weakly. He had to ask for instructions for such a simple little thing, but he had to pay tens of thousands of lives. He still felt wronged. Where did Xu Ling get his face?
Moreover, the tasks assigned to him were not difficult. He only needed to open a path, and the army of the aristocratic family would be suppressed. At that time, as the vanguard, they would have nothing to do with them, just leave.
As a result, such a simple thing, not only did you waste tens of thousands of lives, but you also wasted so much time. It was really a mess of mud that couldn't be covered by the wall.
"Support the shield?"
After hearing Situ Yao's orders and a batch of shields transferred over, Xu Ling was stunned. After a while, he blushed and said, "I... I know."
Xu Ling really didn't know what to say at this time. One layer of shield could not be blocked, so he could take two more layers. There was a wooden shield in the middle to buffer. You just need to modify the wooden shield a little to allow the uppermost shield to shake hands in, and then you can immediately form a three-layer shield.
Although it is a little more bulky, the ink iron arrows used to block the Yulin Army are indeed just right.
And just such a simple question, I didn't expect before that Situ Yao would need someone to give me some advice.
Xu Ling's shameful face turned red. He felt that he was sorry for the brothers who had died on the battlefield before.
But at this point, he didn't say anything more. He just gritted his teeth and waited for the shield to be reinforced, he was the first to take the shield and took the lead in charge in front.
"Brothers, kill with me!"
Xu Ling's roar resounded throughout the Guizhou and Sichuan Army, "Avenge the brothers who died in battle before, and avenge the young general Tu!"
"Yo, I finally learned to be smart."
Gu Hongze, the commander of the Yulin Army, looked at the Qianchuan Army who raised three layers of shields, and couldn't help but smile. Before, he saw the Qianchuan Army's charge one after another, he really couldn't understand why the commander on the opposite side was so stupid and had been shot and killed so many people, but there was no sign of making any adjustments. He continued to rush forward with his life.
There was even a period of time when Gu Hongze was speculating whether the commander on the opposite side was deliberately consuming their arrows with the lives of those soldiers?
But seeing the soldiers around him who had fallen down most of the robes and were still charging, Gu Hongze felt that he didn't look like him. After all, those who could do this were already considered an absolute elite.
Even Mo Zizai couldn't make such a big plan to consume their arrows with such elites.
Therefore, Gu Hongze felt that the commander on the opposite side was just simple stupidity.
At this moment, Gu Hongze felt a little regretful when he saw that the Guizhou and Sichuan Army was finally equipped with a third-layer shield. If the idiot commander on the opposite side continued to be stupid, they could solve these elite Guizhou and Sichuan Army with just bows and arrows.
"What 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 others' stupidity.
He turned around and called over a dozen archers from the Divine Bow Camp, and said, "Next, let's take a good lesson for them so that they can know what archers are."
"Here!"
More than a dozen divine archers who were far above ordinary people took down the large and somewhat exaggerated bow and arrow on their bodies. The bows in their hands alone could be comparable to Gu Hongze's height.
So every time Gu Hongze sees them, he is a little scared. If these archers are in the enemy camp, then they will probably not even dare to take the lead except himself.
Just as Xu Ling was carrying the three-layer shield and taking people to charge slowly, a few sharp sounds suddenly came from the battlefield, as if someone was whistling on this battlefield.
"Swish~"
When Xu Ling heard the sound, arrows as thick as javelin had already arrived in front of him. Because the distance was relatively far, Xu Ling had a little reaction. He subconsciously placed the three-layer shield on the ground and blocked him.
"Bang~"
There were three layers of shields, and the whistle arrow shot out of the Death Whistle directly penetrated through. The arrow also penetrated Xu Ling's body, and then the remaining momentum penetrated the two soldiers holding shields behind him, and finally stopped.
"Is this the whistle of death?"
