Chapter 455 The Collapse of the Coalition Forces Twelve
The effect of the tripping rope in the dark is obviously better than expected. The black tripping rope is placed flat on the ground until the enemy charges. The soldiers hiding in the room on both sides tighten, and the tripping rope is suspended less than half a foot from the ground. [26nbsp;] When the cavalry charges, the attack power is stronger, and the coalition soldiers naturally accelerate the charge.
More than a dozen tripping horses suddenly appeared. Even if the soldiers discovered that the war horses had no time to stop, they immediately fell to the ground. The soldiers behind could not react at all. The war horses stepped on the fallen war horses and soldiers, so they naturally could not help but fall. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of cavalry fell down. The coalition soldiers behind hurriedly stopped the horses and stopped.
The incident happened suddenly, and the soldiers were unable to move in a hurry. In this way, the team immediately became confused. The fallen war horses and soldiers who were not trampled and injured immediately stood up. But at this moment, the Qin troops launched a charge and immediately dispersed the enemy's vanguard team.
The scattering of the vanguard will affect the rear team, especially now that the vanguard and the Wanqing elite behind are almost connected to the head and tail. When the vanguard is attacked and dispersed, the soldiers begin to retreat, while the Wanqing elite troops behind are dispersed by their friendly forces.
At this time, bows and arrows and wooden rocks were constantly falling towards the enemy on both sides of the avenue and on the city walls of the city gate. The enemies rushing into the avenue were all trying to rush forward. To leave this dangerous road as soon as possible, it means that the people behind were constantly crowding forward. The troops in front suddenly stopped and began to retreat after the Qin troops charged, and the coalition forces on the avenue were suddenly in chaos.
The most unlucky one was Wan Qing's elite troops. They knew that the situation ahead had stopped. They were already preparing to charge, but were retreated and scattered by the front troops. The troops behind did not know what was wrong with the front and were still rushing forward. Due to the impact from successive steps, Wan Qing's elite troops were also stormed.
The bows and arrows from both sides have not stopped. They were intensive attacks by tens of thousands of archers. They shot countless sharp arrows at any cost, and kept falling on the coalition forces on the avenue, causing the casualties of the coalition forces to increase rapidly. General Wan Qing was among the elite troops of Wan Qing, and as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, he shouted loudly.
However, it was not the Wanqing troops who opened the way forward, and the shouts of General Wanqing did not achieve the expected results. The most important thing was that the charges launched by the elite Qin troops were constantly rushing and oppressing from the front. The vanguard troops had no choice but to retreat. Although they also tried to resist, the chaotic formation was not enough to resist the full-strength attack of the Qin troops.
General Wan Qing had a strong ability to adapt. Seeing this, he immediately ordered the troops to destroy the houses on both sides and to open a road to break through the side. The walls of those houses naturally could not withstand the attack of the Great Warriors. The walls of the houses on both sides became riddled with holes in an instant. After a moment, the walls of several houses were completely destroyed and collapsed.
However, the situation inside the house shocked Wanqing's troops. Each room was filled with firewood. While the house was broken, rockets shot down from the houses on both sides. The firewood piled in the houses suddenly ignited a raging fire. It was impossible to break out of the sea of fire.
General Wan Qing had to give up breaking through both sides of the avenue, and the most troublesome thing was the firewood and grass that was mixed with pepper noodles and other irritating odors. They were originally wrapped in paper bags. In the fire, the foreign objects smelled pungent, which made the surrounding soldiers of Wan Qing suddenly burst into tears and could hardly see the objects with their eyes.
The dignified elite Wan Qing also lost its strength in this state. General Wan Qing cursed angrily when he saw this: "Dear Qin, don't you dare to fight upright?" Do you have no fighting spirit? If you have the will of fighting, you can fight with my Wan Qing army head-on, and don't use those despicable means.
However, the answer to him was that several huge stones fell from the sky. It turned out that after determining the enemy's main attack direction was the west gate, Xu Sancai had ordered the defenders to urgently remove the catapult carts installed at the other three city gates and transport them to the west gate for installation. The original catapult carts at the west gate had been destroyed by the magic cannons of the coalition forces, and the equipment from other city gates had to be mobilized.
The catapult cart is huge and heavy. Although it can be disassembled and transported, it is not difficult to reassemble it in place. The most troublesome thing is that these catapult carts need to be fixed. Otherwise, the catapult cart will lose balance when throwing a huge rock. Even if it can be thrown, it will shift in direction and even hurt its own people by accident. The fixed catapult cart needs a hard foundation and needs to be firmly fixed. This took a long time, and only three catapult carts have been placed on the top of the city.
The Wanqing elite troops are well-equipped, and ordinary bows and arrows are difficult to cause serious injuries. Only one percent of the overwhelming arrows pass through the weak points of the armor or where the armor cannot fully cover. The Wanqing elite armor firmly protects all important parts. Although many soldiers were injured, they are not fatal injuries.
But the stones thrown by the stone-throwing cart are completely different. The heavy stones can directly smash the Wanqing soldiers to pieces, and even those exquisite armors cannot resist. Of course, if the magic pattern armor above the intermediate level is enough to resist two or three hundred kilograms of stones, but how valuable the intermediate magic pattern armor is, even the Wanqing Kingdom can only possess it by a few generals.
The addition of the catapult cart immediately caused a large number of casualties in Wan Qing's elite. General Wan Qing hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat when he saw this. But at this time, the streets inside the city gate were densely filled with coalition soldiers, and it was extremely difficult to withdraw even if they wanted to turn their horses. General Wan Qing hurriedly raised his feet and made a loud order to let the troops behind retreat quickly.
However, although General Wan Qing's voice could have been heard for more than ten miles, the horses neighed on the battlefield at this time, and even if the general had enough strength to shout loudly, the voice could only be heard for about a while and was drowned in the noisy battlefield. The troops behind were still pouring into the city as planned.
The coalition forces, which lacked effective command, were already in chaos at this time, and the large number of people became fatal injuries. A large number of coalition forces were squeezed together like canned sardines, and even their weapons could not be unfolded. General Wan Qing knew that if this continued, Wan Qing's elite soldiers would inevitably be completely destroyed here.
General Wan Qing was cruel and vicious, and immediately gritted his teeth and ordered: Wan Qing's elite troops rushed forward with all their might, killing all those who blocked them, and charging with all their might.
