Chapter 578: Battle for a day, night raid

"Wipe out the Han Army on Mount Taixing!"

Zhang Yan returned to the formation and gave the order.

The dense Heishan Army was like army ants, attacking Su Li and the others.

"Ju Yi, prepare!"

Without needing Su Li to say much, Ju Yi ordered his Crossbowmen to draw their bows and nock their arrows.

The twenty thousand Crossbowmen hid at the very rear of the formation.

The Heishan Army also had over a hundred thousand archers, all holding longbows and heavy crossbows, fighting while climbing the mountain.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sky-filling rain of arrows instantly formed an arrow screen, carrying sharp whistling sounds, covering each other's military formations!

The rain of arrows shot by the twenty thousand Crossbowmen was like meteors, the first to pierce the sky, traveling hundreds of meters, and falling into the Heishan Army below!

The effect of the Crossbowmen's heavy crossbows was terrifyingly abnormal. Even the high-level elite Heishan bandits in the front row of the Heishan Army, despite holding shields, were shot through by Ju Yi's Crossbowmen!

The arrows carrying the crippling effect penetrated the shields, their momentum undiminished, killing one Heishan Army soldier after another!

Looking at the history of the Three Kingdoms, Ju Yi was indeed a remarkable general.

The troops he trained could even defeat Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yicong!

"Charge!"

The dense Heishan Army attacked the mountainous terrain occupied by Su Li and the others. The Crossbowmen didn't need to aim; they could easily kill Heishan soldiers by firing at will.

The rain of arrows shot by the Crossbowmen became the focus of the entire battlefield. Under the heavy crossbows, tens of thousands of Heishan soldiers had already been harvested.

Crossbow formation heavy kill!

Under these circumstances.

All the Crossbowmen also formed a crossbow formation, implementing long-range suppression on the enemy. During the suppression phase, all Crossbowmen gained an additional 100% attack speed bonus and an additional 50% strength bonus.

Except for the generals, other Heishan Army troop types simply couldn't withstand the lethality of the crossbow formation.

Zhang Yan and the others saw countless Heishan soldiers being torn apart by the opponent's bows and arrows, screaming incessantly, blood mist splashing, and couldn't help but feel a chill.

In siege battles and this kind of mountain warfare, Ju Yi's Crossbowmen occupied an absolute advantage, and the lethality they could exert even surpassed the Crimson Blood Cavalry.

Even Zhang Yan and other Heishan commanders were unwilling to easily endure the damage from the crossbow formation.

However, the number of the Heishan Army was too vast. Among the million-strong Heishan Army, there were also over a hundred thousand archers, forming square formations, relying on their absolute numerical advantage to consume the number of ordinary troops under Su Li.

Clearly, they wanted to defeat Su Li with numbers.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

While both sides were consuming their long-range troops, the Heishan infantry and cavalry, under the cover of the archer formations, strode forward and engaged in close-quarters combat with the twenty thousand Crimson Blood Cavalry at the very front.

"Xiao Yu, block them!"

"Okay!"

Zhao Yu held the Fire Phoenix Bright Gold Spear, came to the very front, and led the Crimson Blood Cavalry to fight with the Heishan Army.

"Blood-colored strangulation!"

The twenty thousand Crimson Blood Cavalry, under Zhao Yu's leadership, directly activated their exclusive battle formation, and a blood-colored wave of energy, as imposing as a prison, was bestowed upon the Crimson Blood Cavalry.

With twenty thousand troops, they met the impact of more than ten times the enemy in front of them.

"Meteor Fire Rain!"

Zhao Yu was in the lead, the Fire Phoenix Bright Gold Spear unleashed a sky full of spear flowers, forming flame spear light, covering hundreds of Heishan soldiers in front.

"The enemy general has appeared!"

"Surround and attack!"

Several Heishan leaders led tens of thousands of people to surround Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu did not retreat in the slightest.

With her current strength plus the amplification of the Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry class, even special troop types couldn't cause her any damage.

Let alone these ordinary troop types.

Zhao Yu waved the Fire Phoenix Bright Gold Spear, backed by a group of Crimson Blood Cavalry, killing as many enemies as came.

The twenty thousand Crimson Blood Cavalry, holding blood-colored halberds, under the bonus of the battle formation, were infinitely close to generals, forming a blood-colored Great Wall.

The blood-colored halberd light was sharp; one halberd could sweep away three or four Heishan soldiers, blocking all the incoming Heishan Army.

However, the Heishan Army also had a unit comparable to special troop types, called the Heishan Bandits, whose combat power in the mountains and forests was particularly terrifying.

They kept advancing, killing the troops under Su Li.

The two armies fought, and the boundary was like a wriggling thick line; the corpses of the dead troops were enough to build a wall.

The Heishan Army frantically pushed upward, and with every step, Heishan soldiers fell.

Relying on their numerical advantage, the Heishan Army continuously impacted the blood-colored Great Wall formed by the Crimson Blood Cavalry.

As long as they broke through, the ordinary troops in the rear would be slaughtered by the Heishan Army, with wails filling the fields!

"Long spear square formation!"

Guan Hai gave the order, and the ordinary troops he specifically trained immediately formed a dense long spear square formation, launching an impact on the Heishan Army!

The sharpness of the long spears filled the gap of the Crimson Blood Cavalry, forcing back the incoming Heishan Army... 0

Besides this.

The Heishan Army also had cavalry, attempting to bypass from both sides and raid the rear.

But their opponents were the Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry on the left and right flanks.

Don't look at the fact that the number of Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry was only two thousand, but the combat power they erupted was even stronger than the twenty thousand Crimson Blood Cavalry.

They blocked back all the Heishan cavalry attempting to bypass the rear.

Both sides fought from noon until sunset, with hundreds of thousands of corpses piled up like mountains.

Of course!

The vast majority of these corpses were Heishan Army.

"Retreat!"

"Build siege equipment tonight, and attack the mountain again tomorrow!"

Seeing nightfall approaching, Zhang Yan finally chose to sound the gong and withdraw the troops.

The Heishan Army was like a receding tide, retreating backward, and setting up camps at the foot of the mountain.

And they began to build siege equipment.

Originally, Zhang Yan wanted to quickly resolve the battle with a numerical advantage and had not prepared siege equipment.

But who would have thought that the opponent's troops would be so strong even in the wilderness.

Just by occupying the hilltop, they made them unable to move an inch.

Under such circumstances.

Only by building catapults could they turn passive into active and knock the enemy down the mountain!

Su Li stepped on countless corpses, expressionless.

The success of one general is built on the bones of ten thousand.

"After tonight, Zhang Yan will definitely build catapults and storm Mount Taixing..."

He looked at the Heishan Army camp at the foot of the mountain and fell into deep thought.

After a long time.

Su Li made a decision: "Tonight, we will go down the mountain and raid."
