Apocalyptic Dark Age

"If I die, my deputy will naturally take over. If the deputy dies, other officers will take over. As long as there is still one officer alive, we will take over..."

It is destined to be a battle with heavy casualties. Now that Tianzhao has decided to take action, Hongshi does not consider contacting Gao Feng before taking action. He just wants to win.

"Boom boom boom..."

The ten artillery pieces roared again. The uneven shooting was not as shocking as the salvo, but the flying shells were deadly.

"Then come on..."

Tianzhao sighed. He already had a psychological shadow about not being able to command himself. Hongshi had always done well, so he stopped insisting and waved his right hand violently. As he waved his right hand down, dozens of words The black shadows were like dancing dragons, rushing towards a cannonball that hit the front. This cannonball did not come from Skyclaw. It should have leaped over Skyclaw's head and landed in the queue dozens of meters behind. It rolled out on the avenue of blood. .

Only Tianzhao and other Jialuo could see the cannonballs clearly. Dozens of black shadows vividly intercepted the cannonballs and wrapped around them, slowing down the extremely powerful cannonballs. After a while, the cannonballs were reduced tenfold and became powerless. The ground fell from the sky, and at the same time, the dozens of afterimages also lost their power and turned invisible.

Tianzhao's face turned pale, and he was even more worried. He had to use all his strength to stop a cannonball, but he still couldn't completely erase the cannonball. The power of this primitive artillery made him start to fear.

The remaining nine Heavenly Claws were powerless. Five of the nine cannonballs slammed into the queue, causing a bloody storm in the queue. The most dangerous one happened to brush against Hongshi's ear, knocking him to his side. A guard's head was chopped off, and only the headless body remained in place. The blood spurted out hit the side of Hongshi's face. The wet heat caused Hongshi's skin to shrink suddenly, but Hongshi had no intention of avoiding it. , still motionless, looking firmly ahead, Hong Shi's unmoving figure also calmed down the other elite warriors who had been hit. At this time, it was useless to say anything. Only the officers leading by example could calm the hearts of the warriors. fear.

There were more than a dozen casualties, which had a very bad impact on the queue. The morale inspired by the previous drumbeats was also dying. At this moment, Hongshi raised his hands and kept waving and making signs of the cross. The gold energy on the float He nodded at the same time as Bai Hu, and swung the stopped drumstick heavily.

"Dang da da da... dong da da da..."

The three light and one heavy drums sounded again, as if they had the magic power to calm fear, calming down the elite warriors who had been in chaos. With the waving of the flag, they could not help but step forward slowly on the drums.

The phalanx of thousands of people advanced again, causing the deserters on the opposite side to laugh loudly. Although they were a little far apart, there were no obstacles to cover them. They could see the casualties after the cannonballs hit the formation.

The Sky Claw drives Ya Lala and walks in the front, followed closely by dozens of Ya Lala behind him, leaving behind the Ya Lala who were killed before and being submerged by the neat queue. Only Xue Ya and Xiu Ya Fang Beast was blocked aside intentionally or unintentionally, but he was afraid that Xue Ya would suffer misfortune.

The barren man laughed at the indomitable momentum of the queue, which gradually became thinner. The artillerymen hurriedly operated the cannon amidst the heart-rending roars of the warrior leaders. The three square formations of the Western Army had a cross-section of more than two kilometers, and the queue also became thinner. With Hongshi's intentional command, he continued to pull apart and became looser, and the distance between the front and back was also increasing.

I have to admit that Hongshi is a very talented commander. After two rounds of shelling, he saw the shortcomings of the artillery. He knew that the more intensive the artillery, the greater the casualties he would suffer. If they marched according to the previous intensive march, waiting for them and the infantry If you rush to the front of the formation, once you are attacked by artillery at close range, I am afraid that one square formation will be wiped out.

The third wave of shells arrived as expected. The team was spreading out, but not completely. This time, six shells hit the queue. Each shell made more than three elite warriors fly out. Each shell More than three desert warriors had their legs and feet broken.

Once the queue advances, there will be no one to place the corpses and wounded. The elite warriors behind fill the gap, step over the corpses and the howling wounded, and continue to move forward. More elite warriors see the power of the artillery, and the grass ditch stained red with blood. The groove was deep, and every round iron lump was a deadly weapon. Even with the guidance of drums, they still made wrong steps, causing confusion in the queue.

Hongshi ignored the blood on his face and turned around to see the chaos in the queue behind him. He made a gesture to the guards around him. The red triangular flag was raised into the air by a thin metal stick that could be retracted. This pocket-sized flag The next moment it rose into the air, the same bright red flags were raised one after another from the queue. A bright red flag was raised at the front of each thousand-man brigade. All elite warriors and slaves could see this flag.

The moment the flag appeared, hundreds of cold, fierce and tall archers walked out of each phalanx. They all held metal longbows and carried quivers with twenty arrows on their backs. When they gathered into the phalanx of a thousand people, At the rear, after forming a slender skirmisher belt, an arrow was neatly removed and placed lightly on the long bow.

This group of people did not have any fear, their cheeks were like carved rocks, they were resolute and rigid, their eyes were not only stubborn, but also ruthless and sinister. They were the toughest warriors in the queue, coming out of the Beilong Canyon battlefield. The iron-blooded warriors will not frown even if the enemy's blade cuts on their eyelids. They are also the supervising team of Red Stone.

The moment the red flag was raised, everyone in the queue understood its meaning. Once it appeared, it meant retreating and killing without any reason. Only blood and corpses could maintain the dignity of this flag. This included not only all the elite warriors, but also the red flag. Stone himself, this is also the flag of decisive battle, and the flag of gambling on failure or success.

The chaos was stopped the moment the flag was raised, and a solemn and tragic atmosphere was brewing in the team. Every elite warrior was no longer looking at the corpses lying on the ground and the wailing wounded, but only the army of deserters on the opposite side, which was like a dark cloud.

The artillery fires again and again. Every time it is fired, more or less shells fall into the queue. Each shell that bombards the row will cause more or less casualties. More and more casualties add up to an astonishing number. At this moment, the lives of elite warriors have become worthless consumables, used to consume the high-temperature resistance of the opponent's artillery.

After the artillery fires five shells in a row, it must stop to dissipate heat, unless it is cooled down with water, but this will seriously reduce the life of the artillery. Huangren does not seem to have anticipated this problem. The underground man who taught Huangren before was killed by Huangren himself. So clean, naturally I don’t know what to do.

The casualties brought by the artillery to the western army made the deserters happy, but the western army did not care about life and death, and the slowly approaching monstrous flames also put the deserters under tremendous pressure. Thinking about it from another perspective, they were on the opposite side and might have collapsed. Before the other party collapsed, Huangren's tense nerves were strengthened.
