Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 484 Encounter in the Rain

The Tartar soldiers also fought hard, holding shields in their hands and charging forward.

The soldiers who rushed to the front of the camp fence used their long swords to chop the gaps between the logs, trying to cut a hole in the camp fence.

All soldiers knew that when setting up camp in the wild, the round wooden fences would usually be fixed with ropes, and the lower ends would be buried deep underground.

If the ropes between the fences were cut with a knife, it would be easier to break open the fences with a warhorse.

Unfortunately, the Tartar soldiers did not know that the Qingshui Army's camp fence was fixed with iron nails in the middle.

This is a thick iron nail designed by Lin Feng, specially used for building camps.

The long sword chopped down, and the shock made the Tartar's arm numb.

I was very confused. Is this camp built with iron fences?

How can such a large army be so extravagant?

Time was running out, and arrows were flying overhead, so the Tartar soldiers had no choice but to chop and ram the camp fence with all their might.

Chu Jiao and Xie Zhong did not hear the order to attack, so they had to let the soldiers in the camp continue to shoot arrows.

Lin Feng ordered Hu Jincai and Li Donglai to lead the team and slowly approach the camp outside the city.

Because the rain was so heavy, we couldn’t see anything clearly at a distance and were afraid of being ambushed by the Tartars.

Therefore, the war cavalry cannot advance too fast.

The bad weather not only caused trouble to the Qingshui Army, but also confused the Tatar cavalry.

A vast expanse of white rain curtain covered the entire area, except for the cavalry that attacked the enemy camp and the Tatar troops that were responsible for besieging and attacking the reinforcements.

Also groping for a spot in the heavy rain.

Neither side could clearly identify where they were.

As a result, the two armies slowly approached each other in the heavy rain, and suddenly collided with each other amid the sound of thunder and lightning.

The first person to discover the Tatar cavalry was Tao Jinwang. He was vigilantly observing the movements around him and riding his horse forward.

The heavy downpour dulled people's five senses, and raindrops hit the helmet from time to time and splashed into the eyes.

Unable to open his eyes and see clearly what was happening ahead.

It was not until the black armor shook that he realized that the opponent was right in front of him.

Tao Jinwang shouted loudly: "Tartars, there are Tartars, charge, kill!"

As he shouted, the crossbow in his hand was instantly ignited, he kicked the horse's belly with his foot, and rushed forward with a knife.

The cavalrymen following beside him performed the same action, first shooting the crossbow arrows, and then charging with their swords drawn.

In the heavy rain, the Tatar cavalry discovered the Qingshui Army at the same time.

They had no time to draw their bows and arrows, they just shouted loudly and rushed forward on horseback.

The advantage of crossbows was highlighted here, and a burst of crossbows knocked down countless Tatar cavalry.

At such a close distance, even the Tartars' iron armor could not stop the sharp arrows.

The shouts and clash of weapons, as well as the screams of soldiers, could be heard from far away.

Lin Feng, who was standing on the top of the city wall, also heard it and immediately understood that a battle had broken out ahead.

When there was a sound, the approximate location could be determined, and Lin Feng shouted orders.

"Have the catapult battalion quickly detour and approach the camp."

Xi Niang led the caravan, followed the sound to determine the location, bypassed the battlefield where fighting was taking place, and headed towards the camp outside the city.

Since it was an encounter battle, the two sides must have been entangled with each other, and her heavenly thunder would not be able to work.

Xi Niang understood Lin Feng's intention. There would definitely be no confrontation in front of the camp, which was the most suitable time to release the heavenly thunder.

The camp is only about five miles away from the city.

The catapult battalion soon arrived near the camp and heard the shouts of the Tatar soldiers in front.

Countless war horses crashed into the camp, creating a chaotic and noisy scene.

Although the situation of the Tartar troops could not be seen, from the sounds alone, one could tell that they were crowded in front of the camp.

Xi Niang and her two subordinates measured the distance based on the sound and stabilized the carriage on a slightly harder piece of mud.

Ten catapults were lined up, and in addition to seven engineers operating each vehicle, there were also a thousand guards.

The black coarse porcelain jar was wrapped in oilcloth and held in the arms of the engineer.

Other engineers began to operate the catapult in a tense and orderly manner.

Xi Niang judged that the Tartars attacked the camp at a distance of forty to fifty steps away from the camp fence, which was the place where the Tartar soldiers were most densely gathered.

First, there are five catapults, which increase the throwing distance one by one.

There are forty steps in front of the camp fence, and every thirty steps is a throwing point.

The area of ​​150 steps in front of the camp was completely covered by the explosion circle.

Everything was ready. Xi Niang took a deep breath and spat out the rainwater in her mouth.

He looked at the vast rain curtain ahead and waved his hand: "Load mines."

The soldier holding the black jar immediately put it into the basket of the catapult, and another soldier opened an oil-paper umbrella to cover it.

"Report on all directions."

"All right."

"All right."

"..."

The engineer operating the catapult reported loudly.

Xi Niang narrowed her eyes and said, "Cars one, two, three, four, and five, fire in order."

Upon hearing her order, the engineer immediately struck a lighter and lit the fuse.

Another engineer immediately pulled the trigger of the catapult. With a creaking sound, the catapult threw the black jar in the stone basket into the air.

The Tatar cavalry were intensifying their attacks on the camp fence.

He urged his warhorse to charge forward recklessly.

The thick wooden fence was shaken by the huge impact of the war horses.

After one wave of collision is completed, another wave urges the horses to continue the attack.

It looked like the camp fence was about to be knocked down.

Xie Zhong had already pulled the chariots back fifty steps, raised one arm, and was ready to order the chariots to charge as soon as the camp fence fell.

Chu Jiao also returned to the heavy armored camp, waiting for the attack of the chariots.

The two of them had already agreed that the chariots would be in front and the heavy armor would be in the back, and they would just charge forward.

Who cares how many Tatar cavalry they have.

I saw a large area of ​​the camp fence starting to tilt and was about to collapse in the next moment.

Xie Zhong's arm also gradually began to fall.

Suddenly, a gorgeous red flower bloomed in the white rain curtain.

Just a few dozen steps outside the camp, where the Tatar cavalry gathered.

With a flash of red light, a huge thunder shook the eardrums of every soldier.

The earth shook, and countless Tartar cavalry were swept into the air by the air waves, and their broken limbs and bodies mixed with blood fell like rain.

Just when everyone was in a daze, another red flower bloomed.

The same situation happened again in front of everyone's eyes.

At this time, the Tatar soldiers finally reacted, shouted, and their horses began to run wildly.

When they gathered in the camp, the leaders all swore so.

The most magical wizard on the grassland, Master Wen Gusun, has arrived at the military camp and cast a spell to contain the Qingshui Army's thunder.

All soldiers can charge forward without worrying about thunder and lightning and kill the enemy leader.

However, the confidence that had just been built up was instantly shattered by the thunder.

With another explosion, all the Tatar cavalry were thrown into chaos.

They were all in a panic and ran away on their horses.

He was afraid that if he ran a step slower, he would be sent into the air by the thunder and exploded into pieces.

Xi Niang fired five sky mines, the positions of which were basically accurate. Although they did not achieve maximum effectiveness, they blew the Tartars away.

Tatar cavalry were running around everywhere, and the leaders tried their best to shout, but they were unable to stop the trend of collapse.

Xie Zhong smiled and waved his arm.

"Open the camp gates, attack, chariot attack!"
