Knowing that there was a heavy crossbow of the Tielin Army above their heads, all the cavalry did not dare to ride on their horses. Instead, they led their horses on foot, hiding their bodies behind the horses as much as possible.
The infantrymen were all the same, trying to hide themselves behind the vehicle.
The party's grain transport team rushed into Qingshui Valley as quickly as possible, hoping to pass through as soon as possible.
As for who will be targeted by the Tielin Army, it all depends on luck.
But what surprised them was that they all rushed to the middle of the canyon, and the Tielin Army above them didn't even fire an arrow.
Could it be that all their heavy crossbows were moved to the other side to prevent them from attacking the mountain?
If this is the case, their trip will be safe.
Ada, who was in charge of escorting the team, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Little did they know that Jin Feng on the top of the mountain looked at them as if they were dead people.
Next to Jin Feng, there are catapults that have been loaded and ready to go.
After confirming that the food transport team had all reached the middle of the canyon, Jin Feng calmly gave the order to attack.
"Second team, fire!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!…
Sergeant Tielin, who had been prepared long ago, swung a sledgehammer and smashed the trigger.
Baskets of stones flew out with a roar.
If a stone as big as a washbasin is to be loaded, a trebuchet can only load one.
In order to increase the strike range, Jin Feng did not use large rocks, but all fist-sized ones.
In this way, a trebuchet can throw dozens of stones at a time.
The two teams of ten trebuchets threw hundreds of stones at the same time, like a rain curtain, directly covering the entire grain transport team.
Although the stone is only the size of a fist, when thrown from a high altitude, the inertia and the throwing force of the trebuchet make the power of each stone cannot be underestimated.
In the canyon, the Dangxiang grain transport team suddenly heard a sound above their heads. They subconsciously looked up and saw dense rocks pouring down.
"Hide quickly!"
Ada was no longer afraid of revealing his identity, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hide until you can..."
But before he could finish his sentence, he was hit on the head by a stone.
The hard helmet was directly hit and a large piece of it was dented.
Ada's voice stopped suddenly, and he fell to the ground with a thud, blood slowly flowing out of his helmet.
His horse was also hit by two stones, but not on the head. Instead, one was hit on the leg and the other on the belly.
There was only a click sound, and the horse's leg was directly broken by the stone.
As for the piece that hit the stomach, it smashed directly into the belly of the war horse and then came out from the other side.
The war horse fell to the ground, flapped its legs and struggled a few times, and was hit again in the head, completely relieved of the pain.
It sounds slow, but it's actually very fast.
In just a few seconds, all the stones fell to the ground.
Of the one thousand infantry and three hundred cavalry, less than five hundred were intact.
Most of them reacted quickly and hid under the cart or horse in time, and narrowly escaped death.
The rest were either killed or maimed.
Those who were smashed were basically missing their vital parts, but it was worse than being smashed to death directly.
The force on the stone is too great, even if it does not hit a vital part, it will cause fractures or penetrating injuries.
With the medical level of this era, even if he was rescued immediately, there was basically no chance of survival.
Besides, no one will come to rescue them now.
Therefore, they can only endure the pain and die slowly.
Of the three hundred war horses, less than fifty were left in good condition, and the rest were all knocked down.
For a time, the valley was filled with howls and neighing of horses.
Jin Feng on the top of the mountain felt his scalp numb when he heard it, but he knew very well that this was the cruelty of war, and he must not be soft-hearted, otherwise he would be cruel to his own people.
When the Dangxiang people marched south, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil, and they did not regard the people of Dakang as human beings at all.
To this day, there are still rows of skinned corpses hanging outside Dangxiang Camp.
Those were the soldiers of the Tielin Army and the Denin Army who were captured in these two battles.
Compared to the cruelty of the Dangxiang people, Jin Feng's method was considered to be compassionate, at least it gave them a happy ending.
"Team 2, change to stone No. 3!"
Jin Feng took another look at the corpse outside Dangxiang's camp and calmly issued the order.
"yes!"
The soldiers of the Tielin Army immediately took off the basket on the trebuchet, lifted up a new basket and replaced it.
The stones in this basket are as big as the mouth of a bowl.
After all the catapults had their baskets replaced, Jin Feng gave the order to attack again.
Whoosh whoosh!
Baskets of stones flew out, and the attack range was the same as before.
The stone as big as a bowl was much more powerful than the last time. The cart was directly smashed into pieces, not to mention the party soldiers hiding under the cart.
After this round of attacks, out of 1,300 party soldiers, only a few dozen were left alive.
They no longer dared to stay here, covered their heads and ran away crazily.
Most of them turned back to Dangxiang's camp, but some smart ones or those who were dizzy from the rush ran to Dangxiang at the other end of the canyon.
There were only a few dozen people, and they were running around in a mess, so Jin Feng didn't bother to pay attention to them and let them run away.
The Dangxiang camp was on the south side of the canyon. When the battle occurred, Li Jikui, his staff and all the Dangxiang generals had a clear view.
This time, in addition to being angry, the party generals also felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.
too fast!
From the time the Tielin Army launched its attack to the end of the battle, it took less than a cup of tea.
No, not even half a cup of tea.
Out of 1,300 people, only a few dozen were killed.
This killing speed is too fast!
The party generals present were all veterans of the battlefield, and each of them had a lot of lives under his command. If it were just like this, it would not make them afraid.
After all, how can one fight without dying?
They have long been accustomed to scenes of rivers of blood.
What really frightens them is that the Tielin Army has such attack means. It is almost a wishful thinking for them to return to the party through Qingshui Valley.
Gray Wolf Mountain was blocked and Qingshui Valley became a dead place.
The food and grass were also burned.
In other words, they have fallen into a desperate situation at this time.
If the general is like this, ordinary soldiers can imagine it.
All the party soldiers who witnessed the battle could not help but feel despair in their hearts.
"how so?"
Li Jikui covered his head and sat down on the ground.
He couldn't understand that he had clearly surrounded Tielin's army on Qingshui Mountain and had every advantage.
Why did the situation reverse in just two days and he became the trapped party?
The only person who was relatively calm at the scene was Li Jikui's staff.
"Commander, we have fallen into a trap!"
The staff sighed and said: "For the current plan, we have only one way left."
"any solution?"
Li Jikui looked up and asked as if he had grasped the last straw.
"Attack Qingshui Mountain!"
The staff member answered word for word.
"But the only way up Qingshui Mountain is blocked by the heavy crossbows of the Tielin Army, so we can't attack it."
"We must attack even if we can't attack, otherwise, we will all die here!"
The staff member said: "Let me think of a solution."
