C1730 The Sound of Explosions Could be Heard
At this time, on the top of the city wall, perhaps only he, Su Yumo and the other girls were the calmest. Even those disciples of Spirit Eagle Palace had some nervous expressions on their faces when faced with the Liao Kingdom's army.
Although the army of the Liao Kingdom had already begun their charge, however... After all, they had started their charge from afar. So... Since they had yet to enter archer's shooting range, Huang Feng naturally didn't want them to panic.
With Huang Feng using his inner energy to shout, the top of the city wall finally calmed down a little. These people did not know much about Huang Feng. They were the army of Western Xia. Although Huang Feng was the son-in-law of Western Xia, these soldiers only knew about his existence. However, they didn't have much contact with him. Huang Feng rarely went to the imperial palace of West Xia. Therefore, these soldiers didn't have much trust in Huang Feng since they didn't know him well.
However, at this moment of panic, Huang Feng showed a calm expression. It could still affect them. At this time, they lacked a backbone in their hearts. Seeing Huang Feng's calm expression, they calmed down a little.
"Shoot!" Huang Feng saw that the Liao Army had entered the shooting range and immediately ordered loudly.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The rain of arrows flew at the same time. One should know that there were 30,000 Western Xia soldiers in the city. The ordinary citizens had long been evacuated by Huang Feng. Now, this city could be said to be filled with soldiers from all over the city. Thirty thousand soldiers, although not all of them were archer. However... There were still thousands of them. At the same time, they shot out the arrows in their hands. Instantly, a huge dark cloud formed in the sky.
After that, the dark cloud flew towards the troops of Liao Army. Ling Feng looked at the rain of arrows with a serious expression on his face. Under such a dense rain of arrows, even a super first rate expert like him... He didn't dare to say that he would be able to escape unscathed. When an expert attacked... It also requires some space to maneuver. Under such a rain of arrows... The space to move around is really too small. So... Even the top experts usually did not dare to charge into the formation alone. Although they could kill a large number of enemies in the formation, however... They would also be in great danger.
When the dark clouds fell, on the battlefield outside the city... Miserable screams were heard all of a sudden, just like what Huang Feng had said. Under such a rain of arrows, even if it was a top expert... There's not much chance of hiding, not to mention the ordinary soldiers down there. They probably saw arrows flying towards them, so they couldn't avoid them. They were surrounded by people, and there was more than one arrow in the sky. Even if they wanted to dodge, they wouldn't be able to.
"Charge, don't stop, continue charging!" Yelv Zhen shouted again.
In fact, even without his shout, the Liao Army did not stop their charge. Originally, at this moment, they were the strongest army under the heavens. Naturally, their will to fight would not collapse so easily, even if there were some casualties. They could still persist.
In addition, they were surrounded by people. Even if they wanted to stop, they would be carried along and continued to charge. They wouldn't be able to stop even if they wanted to.
The arrow rain on the city wall was still continuing, but the cavalry of Liao Army had already started to fight back. These cavalry were all light cavalry, and their archery skills were not weak. Therefore, at this time, their speed was faster than ordinary infantry. And they didn't charge straight at the city wall, but at the front of the city wall. They drew an arc in the air and ran around the city walls, shooting arrows at the city walls as they ran.
Inevitably, the soldiers on the city wall suffered casualties. Miserable screams rang out, but Huang Feng's expression did not change. He looked at the Liao Kingdom soldiers below and paid attention to their movements.
"It's about time. It's time to give these people some welcome ceremonies." Huang Feng said to a disciple of the Spirit Eagle Palace beside him.
"Yes, master." The man answered and left. A smile emerged on Huang Feng's face. He looked at the Liao Army disciples who were getting closer to the city wall, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"You'd better cover your ears later." Huang Feng said to the girls beside him.
"Cover your ears?" Su Yumo and the girls were a little confused, but then they remembered what Huang Feng had said. Su Yumo's eyes lit up and said, "Could it be..."
At this moment, there was a loud bang outside the city. More than a dozen running Liao Army were blown into the sky by her explosion. These people were instantly killed. Some of their bodies even exploded into several parts, causing blood to fill the sky.
"Boom!" Another loud explosion rang out. Another group of Liao Army soldiers were sent flying into the sky. This time, there was even an unlucky cavalryman who was sent flying into the sky along with his horse. After that, he smashed down heavily.
Immediately after that, the sound of explosions was heard outside the city one after another. Many Liao Army soldiers were sent flying by the explosion. In an instant, the number of casualties was unparalleled. What was even more terrifying than death was that they had no idea about these things. They had no idea what this thing that exploded was. Although someone had shouted that it was a firearm, the Song Dynasty had a firearm in the first place. However, some people did not think so, because firearms were not that powerful. Those things looked good, but when it came to killing people... It was very difficult.
It was precisely because they did not know what this thing was that the soldiers of Liao Army were filled with fear. Just like what Ning Wushuang said before, people in the feudal era were more superstitious. Many of them believed in the theory of ghosts and gods. So... When they encountered something they didn't know, they were afraid... At the same time, they would think of those theories about ghosts and gods, and their hearts would be filled with hatred towards West Xia. This was the first time they had felt fear.
The sound of explosions kept sounding out. The Liao Army's Formation Charging had long been disrupted. More and more people had died. What was even more terrifying was that... The horses of the cavalry were affected by the explosions. They were running around, not listening to the commands of the knights. The cavalry that had charged the Formation were in a mess. Now, let alone shooting arrows at the city wall. It was very difficult to control the horses.
Yelv Zhen looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and was somewhat dumbfounded. He didn't even know what was going on. He was still charging forward with an imposing manner, but in the end, he had yet to reach the edge of the city wall. It was already chaotic on their side. Not to mention, they had suffered heavy casualties. Their morale dropped even more. In such a situation, they were going to attack the city. That was no different from courting death.
"General, the West Xia people used demonic magic to cause a large number of casualties to our army. Should we retreat?" Someone came over and asked.
"Retreat? Isn't that escaping?" Yelv Zhen said to himself, then shouted, "We can't retreat! No one is allowed to retreat! If anyone does, I'll chop off their heads!"
Yelv Zhen had come here to win a beautiful battle. How could he retreat before he even fought? Furthermore, it was under such circumstances that he retreated. Wasn't that equivalent to running away? He, Yelv Zhen, absolutely couldn't do such a thing! Otherwise, even if he won against West Xia in the end, his face would still be devoid of light.
"But, General, our Formation is in chaos and is not suitable to attack the city." That person said with a worried expression.
"No, we can't. Charge! All of you, charge to the city wall! The city walls are low, and we can charge in with just one charge! Once we enter, the people of Western Xia will be dead for sure!" Yelv Zhen looked at the city wall not far away and said while gnashing his teeth in anger. He was obviously very angry that the people in the city had played such a trick on him. He felt helpless and helpless at the same time.
"But..." The man wanted to say something, but he heard a swoosh. Yelv Zhen had already pulled out his sword. He cut off the man's head. Then... He said loudly: "Charge, all of you charge, anyone who hesitates again... Kill!"
Thus, the Liao Kingdom's army continued to charge forward. The continuous explosions were still sounding out. There were still people who would fall. Their morale was not as high as before. When they charged forward, they were no longer as indomitable as before.
More importantly, the cavalry troops were in complete chaos. Moreover, it was not as simple as that. Many of the cavalry had already messed up the Formation of the infantry.Edited by: Lifer, Fingerfox Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Even if the infantry wanted to charge, they could not do so at this moment. No matter how hard the cavalry tried, they could not control their horses. It was very difficult to control horses that were shocked.
Looking at this scene, Yelv Zhen was about to bite his teeth into pieces. He could order his soldiers to charge, but he could not order his horses to listen to him. In this situation, it was impossible to stop the horses.
The people around Yelv Zhen seemed to want to advise him, but they did not dare to speak to the person who was killed by Yelv Zhen's sword. They could only watch the chaotic situation in front of them.
"Retreat!" Yelv Zhen's eyes were red. He squeezed out a word from between his teeth. After that, he looked at the city wall not far away in anger, as if he wanted to see who the person inside was.
Hearing Yelv Zhen's change, the surrounding people heaved a sigh of relief. Attacking the city like this would result in too many casualties, and it might not even succeed. Fortunately, at the last moment, Yelv Zhen finally changed his mind.
The order to retreat was issued very quickly. Those ordinary Liao Army also heaved a sigh of relief. They were really frightened by the explosion just now. At this moment... They were no longer as angry as before. They were now afraid of the West Xia army. It was naturally best if they could retreat at this time.
Seeing the retreat of Liao Army outside the city, the people of Western Xia Army cheered loudly. This sound made Yelv Zhen's face turn even redder. It was even to the extent that... There were a few times when he almost wanted to change his orders and call him back. However... In the end, he forced himself to hold back.
"It seems like the effects of these mines are quite good." Huang Feng said happily when he saw the Liao Army retreating.
The explosion just now was naturally caused by the mines. These mines had been buried by Huang Feng in advance. At this time, he had finally given Liao Army a good gift.
