Facing half of the main attack force, thousands of berserkers were trapped in the sea of fire. Hegma, the commander of the army of the Senke Federation, almost collapsed on the city wall. Another trap, this is simply unacceptable. Since the battle in the Barren Stone Canyon, the battle between the Senke Federation and the Kastek Empire has not improved, and they have been defeated again and again. Even the surprise attack of the Federation's most elite berserker division yesterday did not gain any advantage.
Although so many abnormal catapults and giant crossbows were destroyed, the price paid was also terrifying for all the federal soldiers. More than 1,200 berserkers died on the spot, more than 2,000 were seriously injured, and only a few hundred were slightly injured. As for those seriously injured, due to the huge losses suffered by the magician troops before, there were almost no elite berserkers who could be rescued from the hands of the god of death by the magical magic.
The death of nearly 3,000 berserkers and the loss of the magician army made Hegmar and other commanders determined to take advantage of the enemy army's lack of new catapults and crossbows to launch an air strike and decide the outcome. After all, in yesterday's battle, the berserkers failed to eliminate that terrifying army. If the enemy has such terrifying weapons again, coupled with the targeted measures that the enemy may take after the berserkers join the battle, the threat it may cause to them is absolutely incalculable.
With this idea in mind, all the officers in the Huangshi City of the Senke Federation strongly supported the plan of fighting a decisive battle with the enemy. Even the commander of the Berserker Regiment agreed without hesitation that they would serve as the vanguard in today's battle.
Seeing nearly half of the Berserkers engulfed in flames, Hegma, like the other officers, had a short circuit in his brain. They could lose any troops, but they would never dare to joke with the Berserkers. The entire Federation had a population of nearly 100 million, with a total of millions of main and local troops, but the Berserkers only had 7 divisions carefully selected from across the country. Moreover, the Federation could recruit millions of ordinary soldiers with just one order. But the Berserkers could only be slowly selected and trained from all over the country and the main corps...
Now, it was just a local conflict between two countries, but it had brought a division of berserkers sent to reinforce from the federal capital to the brink of destruction. They would never be able to explain this result to the federal high-ranking officials. The word "rescue" flashed through the minds of the federal officers almost immediately. . . . .
"Remove the protective plates, attack mode - full coverage attack... Firers, get ready..." Facing the Senke Federation Army that was blocked by flames in front and did not stop advancing from behind, resulting in tens of thousands of troops forming a dense and chaotic formation, I issued this order loudly.
Under the puzzled gaze of Thacker and others, the front panels of nearly a thousand carts (the panels were to prevent the rear fixing ropes from breaking during movement and causing accidental injuries to friendly forces) were lifted by the soldiers, revealing their densely packed holes. There were 8 rows of holes, 12 holes in each row, pointing at the enemy formation like a honeycomb. . . . .
"For the first defeat you gave me yesterday, and for my 47 unlucky soldiers, shoot!" I shouted the firing order at the top of my voice.
As soon as I uttered the word "shoot", the soldiers holding axes and waiting behind the heavy carts quickly cut the hundreds of ropes that had been broken. . . . .
In the next second, everyone was horrified to find that the sky between the two sides of the battlefield suddenly darkened. Then everyone saw the most terrifying scene they had ever seen. 970 pre-loaded crossbow vehicles, each with 96 giant crossbows up to 2 meters long, flew towards the huddled federal attacking forces like a dark cloud.
Time seemed to stop suddenly, and all the warring parties inevitably suffered the greatest shock. 93,120 giant crossbows covered the entire Senke Federation Army assault force. The possible consequences were predictable to everyone, but no one dared to predict them because they were too terrible.
If a battle consumed 100,000 crossbows, the officers present would not say anything. But now nearly 100,000 crossbows were fired at the same time, which was a terrifying fact that everyone present could not believe. (You can refer to the vehicle-mounted multiple rocket launcher, but the rocket launcher is propelled by gunpowder, while mine is propelled by elastic cables)
Facing this horrific scene, not only Sack and his men were completely dumbfounded, but even the officers of the Senke Federation who were holding the line were dumbfounded. They didn't even know to warn the poor troops who were about to be attacked. Even the soldiers within the attack range of this terrifying, almost gapless crossbow array were dumbfounded. Looking at the huge crossbows that were coming at them in such a perverted number, they didn't know what to do. With this range and the power of the crossbows, they couldn't just run away or use shields to block it.
In another moment, when the commanders of both sides woke up and focused their attention on the poor Senke Federation attack force on the front line, the commanders of both sides almost went crazy. The distance of nearly one kilometer long and one hundred meters deep almost became a hell... No, it was definitely not almost, but it had already become a bloody hell...
There were no screams as expected, nor were there any cries for help. The entire battlefield was silent even from the sounds of the berserkers rescuing those trapped in the sea of fire. Silence, terribly silence. . . . . . Whether it was the Kastark Empire Army, the Senke Federation follow-up troops, or the Senke Federation soldiers within the attack range of the crossbows, none of them made even the slightest sound. The space and time of the entire world seemed to have suddenly frozen.
Throughout the battlefield, all the soldiers of the Senke Federation, whether ordinary soldiers or berserkers, almost maintained the expressions and movements they had a few breaths ago. The only difference was that they used to support their bodies, but now they were supported by the crossbows that were more than 2 meters long. . . . . . The entire battlefield looked like a relic that had been left for a long time after the war, so gloomy and weird. . . . . . .
"Ding... bang..." The sound of weapons falling from the hands of the dead soldiers on the battlefield sounded at the right time, and at the same time, it also called back the souls of the survivors on the battlefield. Those soldiers who survived the disaster almost howled, threw away their weapons and scrambled in all directions...
“Devils... They are all devils..." I don’t know from which moment on, someone in the reserve force of the Senke Federation was the first to shout out this sentence, and then it spread rapidly...
A few minutes later, except for hundreds of bodies that were trampled to death by themselves, there was no one under the wall of Huangshi City, and the city gate was closed in time. Then, countless people behind me began to breathe heavily, as if someone had just covered their mouths and noses.
"Let's pack up and go back to prepare for dinner... Uh... Uh..." I was originally planning to show off, but after seeing the broken limbs and internal organs and brains up close through the telescope, I couldn't hold back my churning stomach any longer, and I lay down beside a crossbow and vomited violently. And behind me, no one came to pity me...
