"Vivian, the ballista team is ready!"
"Quick, let ten storm knights stand on both sides of the stone bridge with bows and arrows, waiting for my order!"
"Raymond, take the barbarian guards and stand on the carriage behind the stone wall. If any enemy climbs up the stone wall, I will chop them back hard!"
"Yes, sir!"
As Nalant issued orders one after another, all his subordinates immediately started to move.
The current high morale is only temporary, so Nalant must give the enemy a head-on blow to maintain this high morale.
But if he wants to give his enemy a head-on blow, he still trusts his subordinates the most.
…
"The guards of the Agate Principality opposite don't seem to be simple. They have such an imposing manner in front of tens of thousands of us. I wonder which family's guards they are?" At the same time, the shouts of Nalant's 500 people also reached the north.
This side of the principality.
The commander-in-chief Huck frowned slightly and looked at Nalant and others on the other side of the river. Because the other party did not hang the family flag, it is still impossible to identify the other party's identity.
"Sir, even if it is not simple, it is only less than 2,000 people. I believe that when our principality warriors start to charge, they will be beaten to pieces immediately!"
"Yeah!" Huck nodded and agreed.
He also has great trust in the combat effectiveness of his guards.
Among his 10,000-strong team, 5,000 were from the king's direct guards, and the other 5,000 were from other marquis and earl families.
However, it is the king's direct guards who are leading the charge now, and Huck also wants to get a beautiful first victory to boost his morale.
"That's almost it! Let the warriors charge forward!"
Seeing that the attack team of two thousand people was approaching the bridge, Huck gave the order again.
Woohoo!
"kill!"
Following the sound of the horn, the team from the Northern Principality, which was still moving slowly, once again burst into shouts of killing, and then two thousand people charged towards the stone bridge like a wave.
Soon, the leading team of two thousand people rushed to the stone bridge.
But here, there are two deep trenches that Nalant dug just that morning.
However, the Northern Principality had seen the situation here at Shiqiao before, so it had already made preparations.
The front line of the charge was seen carrying more than a dozen bridges made of tree trunks. These bridges were immediately erected over the deep ditch, forming small wooden bridges.
When the wooden bridge was set up, the guards of the Northern Principality quickly stepped onto the wooden bridge, then brandished their long swords and began to chop down the spiked wooden piles blocking the road ahead.
Just when the guards of the Northern Principality felt that the enemy was nothing more than this, Nalant turned to look at Vivian not far away, and then nodded to Vivian.
"Long-range attack team, target the enemy at the front of the stone bridge, launch!"
"emission!"
Buzz buzz!
Whoosh whoosh!
As the order was given, the ballista, which was hidden behind the bushes with only a small shooting window, suddenly launched.
As the car body shook, five thick and long arrows shot towards the other side with a whistling sound through the air.
"Ah, what is that..."
Puff puff!
A group of guards from the Northern Principality crowded at the front of the stone bridge. Before they could see clearly what was going on with the five spear-like crossbow arrows, the crossbow arrows had already been fired into the crowd from the left and right sides.
In an instant, five streaks of blood mist appeared visible to the naked eye in the dense crowd.
The powerful force of the crossbow arrows penetrated the crowd for more than ten people before losing its strength.
In one encounter, the guards of the Northern Principality suffered fifty or sixty casualties.
"Ah! What kind of weapon is this? Everyone, please spread out! Everyone, please spread out!"
Suddenly, the guards at the front of the Northern Principality fell into panic when they saw the miserable condition of their companions.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because the lethality of this weird weapon is too great.
Unfortunately, they noticed the situation in front of them, but the guards at the rear did not notice it and continued to crowd forward.
The situation created in this way is that the guards in front are completely unable to disperse or retreat.
"Asshole, this...is this the secret weapon that Commander Bacher said?" Huck, who was standing on the high slope behind, immediately noticed the movements of the army.
His expressionless face immediately changed drastically, and he subconsciously exclaimed.
After Bacher's defeat, he had returned to the rear.
And he also informed the king of the reason for his failure.
The most incredible thing is the sudden madness of the war horse.
However, in addition to this, there is also a weapon that can fire huge arrows and can directly kill the title knight, which also spread from Bacher's mouth.
Although many nobles and legion commanders felt that Bacher was looking for reasons for his failure, the hundreds of royal knights who escaped together testified for Bacher.
This forced everyone to believe Bacher's words.
The king also solemnly informed all nobles and commanders to be on guard against attacks from the secret weapon.
Huck originally thought that the secret weapon must be very rare, so only the Agate Principality army had it.
But he never expected that the garrison of only 2,000 people opposite him actually had five aircraft.
Moreover, this power is indeed as reported by Bacher, and one arrow can cause a large number of casualties.
Huck's eyes were bloodshot. They were the king's direct guards. They were well-equipped with leather and chain mail, but when faced with the thick and long arrows, they were as if they were made of paper.
"You all remain on guard, I will personally take command!"
drive!
The next moment, Huck did not hesitate to urge the horse to run forward!
Under such a situation, if he did not take command, most of the army would be directly shot to death by the secret weapon!
"Everyone, spread out!"
"Did you hear that? Spread out quickly!"
Huck galloped from the rear, shouting as he ran, and finally made the uninformed guards hear the effective order.
Immediately, the charging teams from the Northern Principality began to slowly disperse, waiting for the leading team in front to level the road ahead.
"The reaction is so fast?" Nalant originally meant that he could harvest a few more waves of dense people, but after the horse-riding general appeared, his hope was dashed.
Fortunately, he is not in a hurry. There is only a narrow stone bridge on the road, so even if the enemy disperses now, it will be of no use to him later.
Not long after, the guards of the Northern Principality finally cleared all the obstacles on the shore.
"Warriors, rush over to me, kill all the enemies, and let our camp be erected on the other side when it gets dark!" After the obstacles were cleared, Huck personally took command and issued the order again.
"kill!"
Upon hearing this, the guards of the Northern Principality stepped across the wooden bridge without hesitation and began to charge again.
Suddenly, more than 2,000 people from the Northern Principality were swarming towards the other side of the river like ants.
Chapter completed!
