The next day, Cui Zhonghe, following Mulangye's instructions, led 2,000 crossbowmen and 2,000 sword and shield men to launch an attack on the second mountain col where the Shen army was stationed on Highland 213.

Due to the contact the day before, both parties had a certain understanding of each other, and the choice of tactics was more targeted.

The first is the artillery. Although both the offensive and defensive sides use small-caliber artillery, and the number is not large. The total number of both sides is less than forty. But the advantage is that the small-caliber artillery is light and can follow the attack.

Or the defensive forces can move quickly. Not only has strong battlefield survivability, but also can shoot close to the target, with a very high hit rate. It can be said that whoever can make these art cannons more flexible and effectively use them will be better in future battles.

In, take the initiative.

On the Xu side, the artillery tactics were still the same as yesterday, focusing on bombarding places that were suspected to be entrances and exits of tunnels. The difference was that not all magic artillery participated in the attack, but ten were left as maneuvers to suppress the opponent's magic artillery.

The magic cannon. The magic cannon of the Shen Kingdom defenders was hidden and was never seen before the war started.

Under the command of Cui Zhonghe, the soldiers of Xu State's First Army lined up in a dense formation and advanced steadily. However, when they just advanced to a distance of one thousand meters, three small-caliber artillery shells were fired from three very tricky angles.

, fell into the advancing Xu army, causing more than 70 casualties.

Cui Zhonghe immediately ordered the frontline troops to advance in a skirmish line to avoid being crowded together and being killed on a large scale by the enemy's magic artillery. At the same time, he ordered the magic artillery on standby to maneuver and suppress the magic artillery of the Shen army with all their strength.

As the soldiers of Xu State continued to approach the tunnel where they were hiding, the soldiers of Shen State also came out of their hiding places one after another. The Shen State soldiers who came to the ground were mainly archers and crossbowmen, and they hid behind the shields of sword and shield men.

, ready to attack the Xu soldiers below at any time.

As the soldiers of the State of Xu continued to press forward, they also adjusted their offensive formations. Crossbowmen and sword and shield soldiers were mixed together to form more than a hundred small battle formations, each with ten to two soldiers.

There were ten people. The sword and shield soldiers provided cover for the crossbowmen, and the crossbowmen accurately shot the Shen soldiers who appeared on the ground.

The crossbowmen in the fairy medicine world all use magical crossbows. The shooting range of magical bows and arrows is generally 500 meters, while the shooting range of magical crossbows reaches 800 meters.

Soon, soldiers from both sides entered each other's shooting range. A crossbow duel began.

Although the soldiers of the State of Xu have not experienced war for a long time, they have been in the army for a long time after all. The training of archers and crossbowmen is still more complete than that of the troops of the State of Shen, which are mainly recruits. In addition, as the most elite first army of the State of Xu

, the magic bows and crossbows equipped are all standard equipment of the Chen Kingdom, and their performance is slightly higher than the magic bows of the Shen Kingdom army.

Therefore, even though the Shen army had a geographical advantage, in the end the two sides fought evenly. In an hour of shooting, both sides lost five to six hundred crossbowmen. But the Xu army, as the attacker, had

With the numerical advantage, one hour later, the balance of victory began to tilt towards Xu.

In order to restore the decline, Frank, the general of the Shen Kingdom, ordered all the sword and shield soldiers to gather quickly and launched a desperate charge towards the Xu army at the foot of the mountain. The Xu army, which was suppressing the opponent with bows and arrows, seemed ill-prepared to face the sudden charge of the Shen army.

The soldiers were rushed to pieces, and in just over ten minutes, they were driven down the hillside, losing more than 600 people again. Of course, the Shen people who launched the desperate charge also had a hard time.

During the process of climbing the hillside, more than 300 people were shot dead by Xu people.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Xu people were driven down the hillside, Frank quickly replenished the previous battle losses, restoring the defensive strength of this mountain col to more than 2,000 people.

After half a day of fighting, the Xu army lost more than 1,200 people, and the Shen army also lost more than 800 people. The battle loss ratio between the offensive and defensive sides was about two to three.

In the afternoon of that day, Cui Zhonghe organized troops again and launched an attack on this mountain col. The result was the same as in the morning. The two sides once again staged a duel between crossbowmen. The Shen army lost hundreds of crossbowmen.

After taking their hands, they once again selected all the sword and shield soldiers to launch a desperate charge, trying to repel the Xu people's attack like they did in the morning.

This time, Cui Zhonghe was more thoughtful. He ambushed a thousand elite soldiers in the grove at the foot of the hillside. When the Shen army launched a charge, he ordered the soldiers on the front line to pretend to fail and retreat to the outskirts of the grove.

The Shen soldiers who rushed down the mountain relaxed when they saw victory in sight, and their momentum was naturally much weaker. Cui Zhonghe seized the opportunity and ordered the retreating soldiers to join the soldiers ambush in the woods to attack the Shen soldiers.

counterattack.

The soldiers of the State of Shen instantly collapsed and fled in all directions. After being chased by the crossbowmen of the State of Xu, only a few of them escaped and ascended to heaven. The sword and shield soldiers of the State of Xu took the opportunity to rush up the hillside and successfully occupied Shen.
