"An extraordinary fellow!"

Aisin-Gioro Haoge looked at the disappearing Sun Ce with a serious face. Although they had not fought yet, he could tell from Sun Ce's spirit that Sun Ce was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Bofu, what's the situation?"

Zhou Yu asked Sun Ce using the communicator.

"No trivial matter!" Sun Ce said in a deep voice. He could feel the beast-like aura from Haoge. He was definitely not an ordinary officer.

"Fire arrows!"

In the camp, Ling Cao commanded his soldiers to shoot out the loaded short spears. These chariot crossbows were war weapons arranged in advance by Zhou Yu, and could be regarded as Zhou Yu's preparation for the camp being attacked.

"Bang!" With a dull sound, the short spear loaded with the crossbow shot out with a sharp whistle.

The lethality of these specially made crossbows within their effective range was enough to penetrate the defensive dual-talented soldiers. Even the heavy-armored and large-shield guards unique to the Song world would inevitably be unable to withstand a head-on attack at such a distance when shrouded in clouds.

However, when the short spears were about to fall on the Qing soldiers, they were disturbed by an invisible force, and all of them deviated from their original trajectory and stuck into the ground strangely.

"what?"

Ling Cao was horrified. The crossbow was supposed to be more of a deterrent than its actual combat power. But now, not only did it fail to achieve a deterrent effect, but he was also outmaneuvered by the enemy.

"Some kind of talent that can deflect long-range attacks?"

However, Ling Cao was also a veteran who had experienced many battles and he reacted instantly.

"Keep reloading and keep firing at medium and long range!"

"The rest of you follow me and prepare to fight the enemy!"

Ling Cao did not give up reloading, but asked the soldiers to continue reloading, while he led the soldiers to form a formation and prepare to meet the enemy's attack.

"They actually have high-powered crossbows? Fortunately, we have the Xunfeng Battalion to defend us, but we can't let them go on. Kuntu Battalion, destroy those crossbows for me!"

Hauge glanced at the short spear that was almost completely embedded in the ground and knew that it was extremely powerful. Although they could rely on the atmospheric deflection of the Xunfeng Camp to evade it now, once they stood up again, even if it was deflected, it would still hit their teammates.

This thing has a notoriously bad hit rate, but once it hits, the deterrent effect is no joke.

"Kuntu Camp, prepare to throw, all in unison!"

Upon receiving the order, the Kuntu Camp fired their weapons in unison. There was no way to aim anyway, so as long as the general position and direction were correct, they could just rely on numbers to kill them.

At the command, thousands of stones flew into the air, forming a black cloud, covering the direction where the crossbow had just been fired.

The crossbowmen were still loading their short spears and preparing to launch another attack on the Qing army when a whistling sound was heard in the sky. Compared to the sound of ordinary arrows flying at high speed, these special stones were even faster. By the time the sound was heard, the stones had already fallen.

Although in terms of power, these stones are certainly not as powerful as this specially made large crossbow, but they are more than enough for destructive purposes.

One round of waves consisted of 5,000 rounds, which accurately covered the chariot crossbow positions. Although most of them missed, some of the chariot crossbows were covered.

The crossbow parts that were hit by the rocks were directly smashed and blown away, and the loading soldiers who were hit were also killed on the spot, with not a single piece of intact flesh on their bodies.

"Keep going, three rounds in a row!"

Hauge continued to give orders to the Kuntu Camp, one of the Eight Banners Camps. He didn't care whether the enemy could counterattack or not. He would fire three rounds first to see the situation.

It is obvious that compared to the large crossbow chariots that require several people to twist the wire to use, Kun Tuying's method of directly gathering huge rocks from the ground and then throwing them with great force is more efficient. Before the second wave of crossbow shooting, the crossbow chariots in the camp were smashed.

"It looks like it's been resolved. Thunder Camp, charge!"

At the command, a sound like thunder exploding out of nowhere, shaking the heaven and earth, and all the soldiers in the camp heard the roar.

"The light and shadow reconnaissance has been disrupted!"

Zhou Yu, who was in the central army camp, narrowed his eyes. He had received Ling Cao's message. The other side was well prepared and able to cooperate with each other. It was a standard central guard structure system, and should be the same structure as the Three Rivers and Five Schools.

It is an empire that has developed a legion that can deal with any situation after going through wars.

The individual strength of this combination of legions cannot be said to be very strong, but the effect they can produce when combined together is even better than that of a legion with three talents.

"That's not right!"

Zhou Yu stared at the unknown surroundings of the camp. He felt that something was not right. This situation did not seem like a surprise attack, but rather like harassment.

Although it sounds powerful, it lacks the resolute will to attack.

"Bofu, take your men and stay in the center of the army. Don't act rashly!" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" Sun Ce originally planned to take people to support Ling Cao, but when he heard Zhou Yu's arrangement, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately suppressed his restlessness and stayed in the center of the army.

Zhou Yu calculated the military strength at hand and decisively sent two thousand elite soldiers to the direction of Ling Cao. The legion led by Ling Cao was a group of heavily armored spearmen, which were originally used to guard against heavy cavalry storming the camp, but now they came in handy.

On the other side, Ling Cao crawled out from the bunker covered in dust and dirt. Looking at the stones all over the ground, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. This time the enemy was so ferocious.

"Come on, get some people to bring me the crossbows from other places. I don't believe it!"

"Pay attention to dispersing the positions of the ballistae, and do not use them together."

All the large crossbows were destroyed, but there were not many casualties. Except for the group that were killed in the first round, the remaining soldiers reacted quickly and found cover or raised shields for defense.

"The rest of you are coming with me!"

After quickly reorganizing the formation, Ling Cao led his men to meet the Zhenlei Camp that had destroyed the outer wall of the camp.

It was exactly as Zhou Yu had expected. The Thunder Camp was just a feint attack. Although it was loud and powerful, it did not have the deterrent power to overwhelm everyone.

"Be careful, it's a shock type legion!"

Ling Cao endured the thunder-like sound in his ears and parried the hacking attacks of the axes of the soldiers from the Zhenlei Camp. Feeling the electrical power from the weapons, his face changed instantly.

"Puff~" Spiting out a mouthful of blood caused by the concussion of internal organs, Ling Cao chopped down the weapon in his hand with force and beheaded the soldier in front of him.

Like other shock-type legion soldiers, the Thunder Camp soldiers have a 100% restraining effect on heavy armored wall-type soldiers, but their own defense is not that strong, and the heavy armor on their bodies can only defend against ordinary types of attacks.

The heavily armored spearmen were defeated again and again, but relying on the advantage of the length of their spears and the advantages of the spear forest, the advancement of the soldiers of the Thunder Camp was also abnormally slow.

At the same time, sounds of fighting and killing were heard from the other end of the camp.

Although the Qing army used the strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, this little trick was not a problem at all for Zhou Yu, who was always able to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

"Haha, Bofu, take your men over here. Once you see the enemy in your field of vision, quickly head towards the rear camp. Don't stop for even a second during the entire process!"

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes. He was 100% sure at this moment that this was not the whole conspiracy of the other party. The other party's plan of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west as well as luring the tiger away from the mountain was not completely over yet.

“Let the orchestra play

While Zhou Yu was issuing orders, he also cast an aura of intelligence-reducing on all the existences that he could sense with his spiritual talents.

Night attacks are both a danger and an opportunity for them.

After all, most of the time, night raids are based on on-the-spot reactions, and with the aura of reduced intelligence, you have no say in how they react.

Especially when everyone met and fought for the first time, Zhou Yu's intelligence-reducing aura was always accurate.

Although the movements of the Zhenlei Camp soldiers attracted the soldiers of the entire camp, except for Ling Cao's heavy armored spearmen and some Danyang soldiers, the soldiers in other positions were not mobilized at all.

They believed in Zhou Yu's judgment and the strength of their teammates. The enemies over there would naturally be dealt with. They just needed to stay where they were and the enemies would definitely come to them automatically.

Therefore, when the Genshan Camp holding large shields appeared in front of them, the soldiers led by Xu Sheng and Zhu Zhi all seemed very calm - look, they are coming.

"Since you dare to attack me, I will make you return in defeat!"

"All crossbow troops, listen to my command and shoot!"

Before Zhu Zhi had time to give orders to defend the front line and prepare for the enemy's first wave of attack, Xu Sheng had already given the order.

Although we don't know how many people are coming and what kind of people they are, there is absolutely no problem in launching a wave of crossbow attacks first.

Following Xu Sheng's order, thousands of arrows were fired in the camp.

A large number of Danyang soldiers cooperated with each other and used powerful heavy bows to directly launch a rain of arrows to cover the attack.

The large crossbows in the camp were also fired at the same time.

When the officers and soldiers of the Qing court saw the large number of arrows falling from the sky, it was too late to react. The dense arrows had already covered them like rain.

Even though this wave of attacks was just Xu Sheng's routine test attack, using ordinary arrows, the number was simply too large.

The shield-holding Genshan Camp at the front could ignore Danyang's rain of arrows, but even they could not withstand the heavy blows from the large crossbows. Fortunately, there were not many crossbows, and the hit rate was a problem, so only dozens of soldiers were killed or injured.

However, the Lihuo Camp, which was following behind the Genshan Camp and planning to charge, suddenly suffered bad luck. Originally, the Genshan Camp attracted vitality, and they took advantage of the situation to charge and break the formation, which was well planned.

However, they failed in the face of the obviously abnormal number of arrows fired. The arrows posed no threat to the shield-wielding Genshan Camp, and to them they were like cutting wheat.

The soldiers of the Lihuo Camp who didn't react in time were shot to pieces. The dense rain of arrows nailed hundreds of soldiers of the Lihuo Camp to the ground. The aggressive momentum that was originally ready to be unleashed was instantly cooled down.

The commander racked his brains to figure out why there were so many archers in the camp. Judging from the number of arrows in a wave, ninety-nine percent of the soldiers in front of them were archers.

"All charge!"

Guided by the wrong reality, the commander suddenly had a brain storm and gave the order for everyone to charge, as if as long as they rushed across this distance, they could wipe out all the archers in the camp.

"Ignore those guys with shields in the front, just keep shooting at them! Shoot all the arrows away!" Upon seeing this, Xu Sheng immediately realized that it was Zhou Yu's spiritual talent that was taking effect, and he laughed and gave the order.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

There were continuous sounds of gunfire and various wails. During the time when the Genshan Camp finally rushed to the perimeter of the camp and broke into it, the Lihuo Camp had basically been defeated before it had a chance to show its aggressiveness.

"The sacrifice is worth it, now is the time to kill!" Just when the Genshan Camp and the Lihuo Camp had murderous looks in their eyes, ready to take revenge.

What appeared before them was not the terrified archer corps, but the elite soldiers of Danyang who were eager to try.

The combat effectiveness of the new recruits is questionable, but the combat effectiveness of their Danyang veterans is that of real dual-talent elites who can attack at close range or at a long distance, and by working together they can even unleash the power that only a dual-talent archer corps can unleash.

The new recruits were surrounded by veterans and were stationed in the middle and rear to provide organizational and support. Seeing the soldiers from the Genshan Camp and the Lihuo Camp rushing in, Zhu Zhi and Xu Sheng roared, and rushed over with the elite Danyang soldiers behind them.

The officers and soldiers of the Qing army who were planning to harvest were stunned. Shouldn't all of them be archers? Why were they all elite close combat troops who were as fierce as wolves and tigers?

The Genshan Camp is a city wall troop and does not have many means of attack. Danyang also has the ability to rely on the strength of the surrounding soldiers and directly bombard with heavy weapons. The Genshan Camp has not even demonstrated one third of its capabilities before it was suppressed and could not raise its head.

Coupled with the continuous firing of the crossbows, the soldiers of the Genshan Camp began to waver in their confidence in their own defensive capabilities.

As for the soldiers of Lihuo Camp, they were even more miserable. They were crippled during the charge. After rushing in, they had no way to fight back against the hordes of Danyang.

Sometimes, quantity is enough to overwhelm quality.

"What an awesome guy!"

Xu Sheng killed the Lihuo Camp soldier in front of him with one sword, his face revealing a bit of fear. His body was now covered with many wounds.

The fighting power of the Lihuo Camp soldiers was much stronger than he had imagined.

If it weren't for the low intelligence of the opposing officers and the special nature of the Danyang army, they might have really been defeated today.

Although these soldiers of Lihuo Camp looked very weak and could be killed like wheat by a rain of arrows, when they really fought, he realized how terrifying this legion was. If the officers of the enemy had not been tricked by Zhou Yu, the four legions of Danyang might not have been able to stop the enemy.

The soldiers of the Lihuo Camp have high temperatures lingering on their bodies, and their physical fitness will be significantly improved under high temperatures. What's more terrible is that this high temperature greatly consumes Danyang's energy.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Lihuo Camp had flaming swords on their weapons, and the lethality of each sword was beyond imagination.

It is not an adjective, but there is really flame on the blade, just like the effect of the third talent of the Persian Burning Legion. For soldiers with insufficient willpower, it is more terrifying than real flames.
