Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 593: Thunder from the Sky

There were nearly 60,000 rebels behind the Zhenxi Army, divided into left and right wings, and they had approached to within seven or eight miles.

Lin Feng was already standing on the stage where Hu Jincai was performing a ritual, and with his clairvoyant eyes he could clearly see the rebels in front and behind.

Large areas of it spread out in the wilderness, like a black ocean.

The Central Plains is very different from Zhenxi.

The west of the town is mostly wilderness with few weeds and shrubs, and the ground is flat with few potholes.

Whether it is a war horse or a chariot, it is easy to control the charge.

But it's different here. There are man-made ditches and canals everywhere. If the engineering battalion hadn't repaired them in advance, it would be difficult for tanks and heavy armor to move around.

Even if you manage to charge forward, there is a high possibility of overturning.

There is no way to increase the charge speed at all.

This is also the reason why there are more infantry in the Central Plains. Cavalry troops can easily overturn and get injured in such land.

If it weren't for the Zhenxi Army's superb riding skills, Lin Feng would have given up the cavalry combat method long ago.

"Order the chariot and heavy armor battalions to retreat to the rear, and the long-range attack battalions to the front."

Following Lin Feng's order, the entire Zhenxi Army began to move forward and backward.

This is also Lin Feng's combat strategy, try to slow down as much as possible during the march.

Let the engineering battalion fill the road in front to create conditions that allow the tanks and heavy armored battalion to speed up their charge.

Now, looking back, it happened to be the wild land that I had cultivated.

Lin Feng prepared to use chariots and heavy armor to attack the rebels following behind the team.

The number of chariots remained at forty, with no further increase.

The main reason was that Lin Feng felt that in future battles, the chariots would not be able to play their role and would gradually be eliminated.

The heavy armored battalion was increased to 5,000 cavalrymen. Facing the sticky Black Turban Army, the impact of the heavy armor was undoubtedly enormous.

Following Xie Zhong's chariot battalion were ten small catapults.

This is Lin Feng’s main combat weapon.

The number of heavenly thunders determines Lin Feng’s confidence in this decisive battle.

When Lin Feng saw the hundreds of heavenly thunders sent by Xi Niang, he felt that he would definitely win the war against 100,000 rebels.

The Zhenxi Army has stopped advancing.

The rebels in the front and rear began to slowly stretch out their ranks, slowly forming a huge encirclement.

In this battle, Qiu Jie was very determined to wipe out the Zhenxi Army in one fell swoop.

One hundred thousand elite troops who had experienced countless battles surrounded and suppressed the fifty thousand cavalry of the Zhenxi Army.

The land under their feet was covered with crisscrossing fields, which undoubtedly posed a considerable threat to the cavalry of the Zhenxi Army.

The cavalry charge of a small group is still effective, but for such a large-scale charge, Qiu Jie believes that he has taken advantage of the time, place and people.

If I lose this battle, I can go to the statue of the Virgin Mary and commit suicide to apologize.

He immediately stood on a high slope, looking proudly at the Zhenxi Army that was surrounded in the middle.

"Order the troops to advance slowly, forming a team to close the gaps and prevent the Zhenxi Army from breaking through the encirclement."

Qiu Jie's order was passed down layer by layer. Tens of thousands of black-turbaned soldiers, with their spears extended and shields held in their left hands, marched slowly forward one by one, row after row.

The goal is to use this kind of human wave tactics to crush the Zhenxi Army.

Lin Feng was on the observation deck, seeing the densely packed Black Scarf Army, the corners of his mouth curled up and he sighed softly.

"Even if you want to die, you don't have to cooperate with me like this."

"Stone Cart Battalion, when the enemy advances 500 paces, deploy your mines forward one by one, leaving a distance of 30 feet between them."

Xi Niang personally stayed in the middle of the catapult camp. After receiving the order, she immediately instructed the operators to start preparing mines.

The same order was also conveyed to the western end of the Zhenxi Army, and the same ten catapults were ready to drop the sky mines.

The sky is blue with occasional white clouds floating by.

On a large piece of land, the sound of orderly footsteps and the collision of armor gradually came from far away.

The Zhenxi Army was also an elite force that had experienced hundreds of battles. Everyone sat calmly on their horses, gazing at the endless black scarf army in the distance.

Faced with so many enemy troops, there was no panic in their eyes.

"Report, the preparation for the sky thunder is complete."

"Report, catapult data adjustment completed."

"Report, distance is thirty feet."

"Report, distance is forty feet."

"..."

The operator of the catapult battalion loudly read out the data.

A rangefinder standing on the catapult was using a telescope to observe the distance.

"Report, the enemy has advanced thirty feet..."

"Twenty-five feet..."

Xi Niang no longer waited for Lin Feng's order. After hearing that the enemy troops were within 500 steps, she waved her arm.

"Catapults one through ten, release in order. Three, two, one, release!"

As she finished her voice, the trigger of catapult No. 1 was pulled, and the long rocker arm swung silently.

There is no longer any creaking sound, the rocker arm's rotation axis is smoother, and the swinging speed is significantly faster.

With a whistling sound, a thunderbolt the size of a watermelon was thrown into the sky.

In the eyes of the crowd, it turned into a black dot and flew quickly into the dense crowd of the Black Scarf Army.

The earth was silent for a moment, and suddenly a huge roar erupted.

The earth was shaking and everyone's eardrums were buzzing.

Before the loud noise disappeared, the second noise, the third noise... came one after another.

Following a loud bang, green smoke and flames rose from the Black Scarf Army. Countless black bodies were rushed into the air and spun apart from the main body.

Even the black-turbaned soldiers who were dozens of feet away had their armor and bodies pierced by the flying steel fragments.

It fell to the ground in the shock.

A thunderbolt from the sky created a large blank area in the Black Scarf Army.

Qiu Jie, who was smiling triumphantly, was stunned by the thunder.

He looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in confusion, but there was nothing unusual.

After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand.

"Charge, everyone, charge faster!"

We can't wait any longer, we must collide with the Zhenxi Army at a rapid speed.

If you want to blow up, blow up together. If you want to die, drag the Zhenxi soldiers with you.

Before his order was fully conveyed, the second wave of explosions came one after another.

The entire Black Scarf Army was filled with green smoke and lightning-like flames.

The originally neat team was blown into pieces, and the soldiers each looked for a place they thought was safe to hide.

Not only did explosions begin at the east end of the team, but explosions also occurred at the west end of the team.

What made Qiu Jie collapse was that this violent explosion sound had not stopped from the beginning until now.

It had been a quarter of an hour, and the sound of explosions continued to spread in all directions.

In Xi Niang's catapult camp, ten catapults adjusted their distance and direction, circling and dropping mines into the distance.

This also made the Zhenxi soldiers blink their eyes, stunned and at a loss.

Qiu Jie screamed: "Charge, charge forward, only by charging forward can we avoid the bombardment of thunder, charge forward for me..."

The black scarf soldiers finally started to rush forward. They were not afraid of life or death, even though they were dazed by the thunder.

As the distance got closer, Lin Feng waved again.

In Lin Qiaomei's long-range attack camp, thousands of crossbows began to show their power.
