Chapter 1410 Probing Attack

Hundreds of cannons were opened in an array, and twelve of them were giant beast cannons standing out like cranes. The black muzzle was facing the camp not far away, making people shudder.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom! The huge roar sounded in succession, deafening. Immediately afterwards, the fire in the opposite enemy camp rushed into the sky, smoke and dust rolled, and enemy soldiers were thrown into the air by the shock wave, and the fence was broken in the artillery fire. The giant beast cannon made a terrible roar that made the world tremble. The huge shell fell into the ground in sight, stirring up a wave of earth, and then bounced up, overturning more than a dozen tents in a row and smashing towards a granary. With a loud bang, a huge hole was smashed into a wooden wall of the granary, and the shell stopped in the pile of grain. This was a solid shell.

The shelling lasted for two quarters of an hour before it stopped. At this time, the fence on the west side of the entire barracks almost disappeared, and tents and other objects near the west side were basically destroyed. Many Ross' bodies were lying around the craters. Although the Ross people had prepared in advance, they still suffered heavy losses under the artillery fire of the Qin army. This is the Ross Durant Fortress, and the Ross' Western Camp, which is being attacked, is the Ross' Western Camp, which is closely connected with the Durant Fortress. Since several camps surround the Durant Fortress, to capture the Durant Fortress, at least one of its camps must be captured first.

The Qin army's war drums rang out loud, and tens of thousands of Qin troops slowly pressed towards the Rossxi camp in neat steps, shouting.

"General, the Qin army is coming!" A Ross army reported with some nervousness and excitement. General Ross in front of him was one of the capable generals under Cao Pi, named Jerod. He has been following Cao Pi for many years and is considered a long-time general on the battlefield.

Jerold nodded calmly and ordered: "Order the high platform artillery team to shoot! No one is allowed to act rashly without my order!" "Yes!"

More than a hundred artillery on high earth mounds in the Ross camp began to stop and fire the attacking Qin army. The platform is located in the middle of the camp, made of loess and stones, and is more than ten meters high, which greatly increased the range of artillery on it, and more than a hundred artillery pieces were placed on the platform one by one. The reason why the Ross did not line up the artillery in front of the formation to compete with the Qin army was mainly because they knew very well that their artillery was by no means the opponent of the Qin army. It was not only the difference in the number of artillery, but also the powerful giant beast cannons in the Qin army.

The whistling shells fell into the middle of the Qin army, and the Qin soldiers flew into the sky in the dust and fireballs. However, the Qin army did not show any retreat because of this.

The Qin general shouted loudly, and the Qin army formation immediately dispersed and rushed towards the Ross camp in a scattered formation, at an extremely fast speed. At this time, the sound of war drums behind the Qin army was loud and loud, with a heroic and intense momentum, which made people's blood boil. The Qin army's giant beasts and cannons occasionally let out a shocking roar, and huge shells roared towards the high platform, but unfortunately they did not hit the top of the high platform.

The artillery fire of the Ross people continued to bombard. The Qin army charged forward rapidly in the midst of the artillery fire. The scene was like the scene of the army in World War II launching a charge. From time to time, brave Qin soldiers were thrown into the air by artillery fire.

After a while, the Qin army finally rushed through the blockade of enemy artillery fire and approached the frontier of the enemy.

At this moment, thousands of Ross troops suddenly appeared in the trench that seemed to be no one in the Ross camp, and then the rain of arrows roared towards the Qin army. The Qin soldiers who rushed in the front were all shot into arrows and fell to the ground.

The Qin army charged faster. After holding up another wave of arrows from the other party, they rushed into the first trench of the Ross army. The two sides immediately launched a bloody hand-to-hand combat. The scene was extremely tragic.

The Qin army defeated the first line of defense of the Ross army in one go, and then started a melee with the reinforcements of the Ross army. At the same time, another 5,000 Qin cavalry teams and 20,000 Qin infantry rushed towards the Ross army camp.

The Qin army's iron cavalry quickly passed through the enemy's artillery net, crossed the first trench, and quickly circled to the side of the Ross army, which was fighting fiercely with the Qin army, and launched a fierce attack. The Ross army immediately suffered heavy losses under the Qin army's iron hooves and was defeated. At the same time, tens of thousands of Ross troops were surrounding from three different directions, and more than a dozen cannons were pushed to the front of the second line of defense.

Boom boom boom boom! The Ross' artillery fired. Dozens of Qin soldiers fell under the Ross' artillery fire. Then tens of thousands of Ross' army shouted and siege came up. The Qin infantry and the Ross' army started a melee, while the cavalry quickly escaped from the chaotic battlefield in front of them.

Thousands of Qin cavalry tried to go back to the side of the Ross army, which was fighting fiercely with the Qin army again, but were blocked by the opponent's dense rain of arrows and tight spear formations. At this moment, a huge sound suddenly came from the Ross army camp. It turned out that a corner of the high platform was hit by the shells of the giant beast cannon. It collapsed, and several cannons fell. The reinforced Qin infantry rushed into the camp like a tide, tearing open the Ross army defense line from one side, and the Qin army rushed in like a flood that collapsed. The entire Ross army's front was on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, dozens of cannons were pushed out outside the woods northeast of the Ross military camp. The terrain here was high, and the cannons could block and shoot inside and outside the gate.

"No!" Chen Chu frowned. "Sent to the cavalry team to destroy the Ross army artillery array outside the woods!" As soon as Chen Chu's voice fell, fires surged into the sky outside the woods, and then there was chaos in the Qin army, which was fighting fiercely with the Ross army. Many Qin troops were knocked over to the ground by the shells coming from the side without any defense. The Ross army seized the opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack. A gap that had just been torn open by the Qin army was soon blocked by the Ross army.

The cavalry team that received the order separated from the Ross army in front of them and quickly rushed towards the northeastern Ross artillery formation, but they hit the defensive front that the Ross people had prepared long ago. This was a solid defense line composed of horses, tower shields, and spears. It was almost impossible for the cavalry to break through such a defensive line from the front. The Qin cavalry tried several times but failed to break through the Ross people's solid defense line. At the same time, the shells of two giant beast cannons fell into the Ross army artillery formation outside the woods. With two loud noises, nearly ten cannons flew into the sky.

About half an hour later, the Qin army summoned the troops. At this time, both sides paid a considerable price.

Seeing that the Qin army had withdrawn, cheers immediately sounded from Ross's army.

"General, we have defeated the Qin army!" A general ran to Jerod excitedly and said.

Jerod said calmly: "Don't be too happy too early! The Qin army that attacked us just now was not the real Qin army at all, but the Western Regions legion among the Qin army! The attack just now was just a tentative attack!"

When the general heard this, his excitement suddenly became colder.

Jerold glanced at his general, "Don't worry too much! Even if the elite Qin army came to attack, we could resist it!" The general nodded heavily.

The Qin army attacked for three consecutive days, and always used the Western Regions Legion as its attacking force.

At the same time, the Roman army finally launched an offensive, with more than 500,000 regular main forces and 150,000 local guards sweeping towards Assyria like a landslide and tsunami. Altashad in the north lost more than 6,000 people in a day of battle, of which more than 2,000 were the Western Regions coalition forces.
