Under Batu's order, the vanguard battalion of the Northern Desert Army retreated a hundred steps.
For the Northern Desert Wolf Cavalry, this retreat was tantamount to a severe slap in the face.
A sense of shame surged into the hearts of Batu and Toya.
The Northern Desert Wolf Riders are now the best in the world, and there has never been a time when they were in such a miserable state.
Cha Hu said: "General, step back a hundred steps, Beijing City is no longer within our range!"
There is no other way. If we don't retreat, the entire vanguard battalion may really be wiped out.
Batu had no choice.
Xiao Zhanming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Northern Desert Army had retreated, and ordered the Jin Yiwei to put away their crossbows.
The power of the crossbow is used to crush the enemy's large-scale attack. There is no need to expose its terror.
In fact, the retreating Northern Desert Army was still within the range of the crossbows.
The reason why we did not continue to use the crossbow to suppress him was to save a hand.
Soon, the fire on the tower was put out...
Even so, the white smoke remains.
Naturally, the Northern Desert Army retreated, and everyone was extremely excited. At the same time, warlike hearts surged into their hearts. They all said that the Northern Desert Wolf Cavalry was invincible and invincible. Isn’t there a time to retreat now? In addition, the Wu Dynasty implemented the military merit system.
, in the eyes of the soldiers, the heads of the Northern Desert soldiers were treasures for promotion and promotion. They wished they could rush out immediately and cut off their heads!
Northern Desert Army camp...
In front of Batu and Toya, there were five corpses lying on the ground, all of which had been hit by short arrows shot by crossbows.
When Batu saw it, he pulled out one of the short arrows and looked at it carefully.
It is only one-half of the size of an ordinary arrow. How is it launched?
He tried to use the bow on the saddle to nock the short arrow. Once he nocked it, he was dumbfounded and couldn't nock it at all.
I'm confused, my head is buzzing!
"How...how could this happen?" Batu was speechless.
Toya also tried it and was also confused.
When she was in the Wu Dynasty, she had never seen such a short arrow.
Thinking of this, I quickly thought of Jiang Ning's face. Could this be his trump card?
"Jiu Mei, what is this?" Batu asked.
Toya shook her head, "I...I don't know. During my time in the Wu Dynasty, I never handed over such a weapon!"
Cha Hu answered: "Although this arrow is short, the power it unleashes is extremely terrifying. Our rocket formation was destroyed by this arrow!"
Batu and Toya nodded knowingly.
silence.
The two men stared at the short arrow with burning eyes, and its sharp arrow made their minds sway.
Even a short arrow can penetrate a shield.
After a while, Toya said in a deep voice: "It seems that we can't capture the Northern City tonight, Bage, I propose to withdraw our troops!"
Batu frowned and said: "The Northern Desert Wolf Cavalry has not retreated yet!"
"yes!"
But the current situation is that failure to retreat will only increase more casualties, in which case the gains outweigh the losses.
Batu glanced at the Northern City with a dark look, "Nine sisters, the Wolf Cavalry can only advance but not retreat, how about another attack?"
Toya did not deny it. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.
Immediately, Batu ordered Chahu to continue the attack...
As the vanguard general, Cha Hu had no choice but to act according to Batu's orders.
Bring the men and launch the attack again.
The wolf rider holds a scimitar and howls...
When Xiao Zhanming saw this, he lowered his eyes and waited until he was within the so-called shooting range of the crossbow.
The vanguard camp was shot to death by random arrows. Because the crossbow fired too fast, they fell into a pool of blood before they could react.
Nowadays, the crossbow has been transformed into a human head harvester.
Whizzing…
The short arrow pierced the air and swept out a sound of tearing the air, as if a demon was groaning in pain and sharpening its knife crazily.
As the vanguard, Cha Hu raised his head and cursed on the spot under the crossbow attack, "What the hell is this arrow? How can it have such terrifying lethality?"
He glanced at the shield in his hand and was speechless for a moment.
The wolf riders around him fell down one after another, and now they were just killing people.
Cha Hu couldn't help it anymore and roared: "Retreat...all of you retreat!"
The scene before him told him that if he did not retreat, the entire vanguard battalion would really be wiped out.
Faced with the human head harvester, the Wolf Cavalry had no choice but to retreat...
When Cha Hu was retreating, he was hit by an arrow in the leg. On the spot, he felt an unprecedented pain in his heart. For a moment, he felt that his leg was about to be shattered. If it were not for the support of the people around him,
I'm afraid I won't be able to leave alive.
After the Wolf Riders returned to their original positions, they went from the original 20,000 people, to 10,000 people, and now to the current 3,000 people. It can be said that they suffered heavy casualties.
Cha Hu endured the severe pain and panted: "General... General, the Wu Chao army's bows and arrows were too fierce. Our men were shot dead as soon as they rushed over. This..."
Halfway through, he stopped talking.
This time the wolf cavalry attack was so tragic that both Batu and Toya saw it.
Toya said in a deep voice: "Order the vanguard battalion to withdraw its troops immediately and return to the main camp!"
"yes!"
Just like that, the Northern Desert Wolf Cavalry retreated and soon disappeared into the night.
In order to confirm whether the Northern Desert Wolf Cavalry had retreated, Xiao Zhanming took a crossbow and shot at the place where the Northern Desert Army had placed kerosene. When the arrow fell, the fire on the ground shot up into the sky, illuminating the surrounding area with great brightness.
No one in sight…
Only then did he feel relieved.
"Golden Guards, clean the battlefield and take back all the short arrows that can be used!" Xiao Zhanming ordered. After all, short arrows are consumables. Without the short arrows, the crossbow is a peerless weapon without an edge.
"yes!"
Only now did the Northern Desert Army's siege stop.
Xiao Zhan ordered the city defenders to work in two shifts, resting and defending the city at the same time.
…
Northern Desert Chinese Army Camp.
Tonight, the candles are brightly lit here, and everyone has their faces stern, as if they are facing a formidable enemy.
Batu's five tiger generals gathered together...
Almost everyone's eyes did not leave the short arrow on the table.
The reason why we were defeated today was because of this short arrow.
It was only half the size of a normal arrow, but now it exploded with such power that it could shatter everything. The shield and armor were just mere decorations in front of the crossbow.
Arturo, one of the five tiger generals, said, "General, how can such a small short arrow be so powerful?"
He picked it up and stabbed it into his shield. Maybe he used too much force and broke the short arrow.
The shield is fine...
"The arrow body is so fragile. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be lethal!" Arturo said thoughtfully.
Everyone thinks what he said makes some sense.
But one thing they have to think about is that the arrow body is so fragile, but it explodes with terrifying lethality. Isn't it a more terrifying thing?
Cha Hu answered: "But it was just such a short arrow that defeated my vanguard battalion!"
"It's so powerful that I can't even imagine it!"
Not long after, a voice sounded outside the Chinese army's tent, "General, Craftsman Qi has brought it!"
