Chapter 1334: Chapter 326: Starfall_4

He understood the reason was that despite his Baipu soldiers being undefeated in eliminating bandits in Long Creek County, truthfully, where did the water bandits get the courage to actively attack the Baipu troops?

It was merely a sneak attack; with a bit of preparation, the water bandits would retreat.

Most importantly, even if the water bandits had horses, how could they have such a terrifying formation of pure cavalry?

The reason for mistakes lies in inexperience.

But now, he can only face the iron cavalry of the Yan people on the real battlefield to test his mistakes; how can this cost not cause him panic?

Fortunately,

those six giant crossbows provided him great psychological comfort.

"Raise... Fire!"

"Raise... Fire!"

The crossbowmen in the military formation continued shooting, and in front, the charging Yan cavalry occasionally saw riders falling off.

The six giant crossbows were ready,

At Chi Mingyi’s command,

Fire simultaneously!

"Buzz!!!!!!!!"

The arrows from the giant crossbows, like six spears, drew six streams of light directly into the Yan cavalry in formation.

Immediately,

within the charging Yan cavalry, six clouds of blood mist appeared; each crossbow pierced through at least four or five wild riders, like strings of candied fruit.

The killing power and effect of the giant crossbows satisfied the Chu people.

However,

What surprised Chi Mingyi was that the massive killing by the giant crossbows did not halt the momentum of the leading Yan cavalry charge.

They did not panic at all; they were even willing to trample over the fallen fellow soldiers in front rather than slow their horses.

They seemed completely unafraid of death or crossbow arrows, continuing to charge directly forward.

Moreover, Chi Mingyi noticed that this foremost charging unit of Yan cavalry carried relatively expensive long weapons like lances, but only half of them wore leather armor, while a small half wore merely sheepskins!

This is definitely not the regular Yan army,

This is clearly... wild people, slave soldiers,

But the courage to be born from death exhibited by this slave army was so magnificent and fearless!

And since they could not be halted, when the six giant crossbows had just been reloaded, the leading horses of the Yan people had already arrived!

No muddy ground, no obstacles outside the military camp, leading to faster-than-expected Yan people charging speed, especially the fearless death of the Yan spearheading troops,

Causing Chi Mingyi to realize he had made the most serious mistake ever!

He placed the giant crossbows in the center of the battle array, thus, pushing the initial central army position to the flanks, but after one round of firing, the Yan people came too fast; before the giant crossbows released a second round of impact, the Yan cavalry had already crashed into their lance soldiers!

At this moment, the giant crossbows were not able to shoot or not shoot; if they continued to fire, the first targets would be their own soldiers blocking the front; if they did not, the six giant crossbows placed in the middle would be idle, equivalent to digging a pit in their core military position!

And this position,

was the core area for the Yan people charging!

"Kill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The wild leader had long forgotten when he last personally led the charge at the frontline.

When starting up, he had to personally be at the front to boost morale, but gradually, as his foundation expanded, the soldiers under his command increased, making him more like Lord Pingye as he directed operations.

What he preferred was staying behind to command and oversee the overall situation.

But this time, he had no choice; he had to charge at the frontline.

Earlier, the sudden firing of giant crossbows from the Chu camp made the wild leader’s heart jump; a giant arrow almost grazed past his side, and a wild rider charging with him was directly pierced by the bolt, with blood splattering on the wild leader’s back and hair, hot and sticky.

But fortunately,

he successfully made this wild cavalry temporarily forget about life and death and start recklessly charging, so the momentum was not hindered.

Even though in front,

were the glaring spears,

the wild riders still drove their warhorses towards the spears, actively colliding!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The first layer of Chu spearmen did not retreat.

Their spears stabbed into the steeds of the wild riders or directly picked the riders off.

However, the terrifying inertia brought by the warhorses and their massive bodies could instantly break the spears and crush the bodies horizontally.

The spearmen, using their flesh and blood, were the consumable frontline.

Yet the wild riders on the other side were completely unafraid of these; the fallen or dismounted fellow soldiers in front did not stop them from urging their mounts to continue charging.

The axe men lurking behind the shield bearers, after the first-line spearmen engaged with the Yan army, were ready to leave the shield formation and move forward to fight, but found they had no room to act.

Because the Yan cavalry, no, to be precise, the Yan riders, were not here to fight but to die!!!

They drove their warhorses, ignoring the sides, using themselves and their steeds as human cannonballs to smash into the Chu shield formation, with some wild riders possessing superior horsemanship, even causing their warhorses to jump ahead first, leaping over the shields and crashing into the back.

The collision sound came ceaselessly, and extremely dense!
