When the two formations collided, they stirred and fought. However, there was no clear winner. Instead, they were in a state of confrontation.
At the place where the two formations overlapped, due to the confrontation between the two formations, the black fog and white fog mixed together, causing the surrounding space to become even more obscure. The effects of confusion and confusion multiplied.
This was only the confrontation between the formations. After the formations were spread out, the soldiers were also in position. Among them, the soldiers of Yuan Shao's alliance had already begun their charge.
"Kill!"
"Kill …"
“.....”
Yuan Shao's alliance charged forward. For a moment, the sounds of killing filled the air. It could be said that they had done a lot of preparation.
At this moment, Yang Rui's troops on the ice sand city wall were also prepared for battle. First, the Mohist's long-range weapons revealed their sharp fangs.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! "
“.....”
Among them, the Divine Armament Sky Blasting Crossbow had the longest range. When Yuan Shao's alliance was still a hundred steps away from the ice sand city wall, the Divine Armament Sky Blasting Crossbow had already begun to fire.
In reality, the range of the Divine Armament Sky Blasting Crossbow could reach up to a hundred feet. Yang Rui had also waited until the densest number of his alliance troops entered the range before giving the order to fire.
Although there was an increase in the formation's support, the black fog formation cast by Yuan Shao's alliance troops was still unable to block the vision of Yang Rui and the other generals. In other words, the level of the black fog formation was about the same as the Four Symbols Maze Formation.
Hence, with the vision of Yang Rui and the other generals, even if the operators of the Divine Armament Sky Blasting Crossbow couldn't grasp the details of the attack, they could still roughly grasp the correct direction to fire.
Moreover, most of the Divine Armament weapons were controlled by the Divine Armament Mechanical Dolls. They were suitable for unified control and wouldn't be affected by subjective emotions due to the lack of vision.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! "
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
“.....”
As the Yuan Shao Alliance got closer, the rest of the godly crossbows, archers, crossbows, and other long-range forces also started to unleash their might. It could be said that tens of thousands of arrows were released in unison.
During this process, the Yuan Shao Society had to pay a hefty price every time they advanced a certain distance. On the icy surface of the Yellow River opposite the Great Wall of Ice and Sand, the corpses of the Yuan Shao Society members had already been spread out from afar.
Although some of the alliance's soldiers had managed to get close to the icy sand walls with the help of the formation, they were only a small portion of Yuan Shao's forces after all. Moreover, the remaining soldiers weren't enough to complete a high-intensity siege.
If this situation continued to develop, there wouldn't be much of a difference after Yuan Shaohui's alliance added the help of the formation as compared to when they didn't add the formation.
This was also what Yang Rui was puzzled about. Although the current situation was great, Yang Rui believed that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the other warlords were definitely not to be trifled with. Since they dared to launch this attack, it was impossible that they didn't have the slightest bit of expectation for the current situation.
Based on this point, Yang Rui felt that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the rest of the alliance members probably didn't only have this attack method. It was more likely that they had other backup plans.
"Creak! Creak! Creak … "
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo … "
“.....”
Just when Yang Rui was still thinking about the backup plan that Yuan Shao Society members had, he heard a series of noises coming from behind the Yellow River. It seemed to be the sound of some kind of large scale machine operating. There was also the sound of friction in the air. Yang Rui was the first to catch these noises.
With a lot of experience in sieges, Yang Rui's expression quickly changed as he thought of a possibility. The sound that was similar to the heavy trebuchets and other siege weapons was very likely the heavy siege weapons that Yuan Shaohui's allies had secretly created!
Yang Rui's thoughts were quickly confirmed. With Yang Rui's vision, he saw a series of fireballs suddenly appearing from behind the Yuan Shao Society members. They were extremely fast and seemed to be very powerful.
"Qian Ji Black Armored Battalion, move out!"
Seeing this situation, Yang Rui decisively gave the order. He had no interest in testing the power of Yuan Shao Society members' fireballs.
"Weng …"
A series of supersonic vibrations came out. A light shield that couldn't be seen by the naked eye suddenly appeared on the battlefield within 20 to 30 miles of where Yang Rui's troops were. Only historical figures or famous historical figures would be able to see it. This was one of the backup plans that Yang Rui had prepared — — Qian Ji Black Armored Battalion.
Qian Ji Black Armored Battalion could only be used by people at the level of formation masters. It was Guo Jia, the formation master, who activated Qian Ji Black Armored Battalion.
For this reason, Yang Rui had transferred Guo Jia over in advance and gave most of the responsibility of the Southern Excited Army to Imagawa Yoshimoto and Asano Nana.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang …"
The bullets from the Thunderclap Chariot smashed onto the light shield of Qian Ji Black Armored Battalion and made a series of loud noises. The light shield of Qian Ji Black Armored Battalion shook.
At this time, Yang Rui discovered that the bullets of Yuan Shao Society members' siege machines were also made of stones — — burning stones! He just didn't know how they were made of fire.
After the first round of attack, the power of the burning stones was obvious. If it wasn't for the protection of Qian Ji Black Armored Battalion, Yang Rui's troops would have suffered a great loss.
After the first round of attack, Yang Rui had accurately grasped the number of siege machines that Yuan Shao Society members had — — there should only be 35 of them.
Even so, the power of the projectiles of this siege machine was greater than that of the heavy trebuchets. Its range was also further than that of the heavy trebuchets. Its overall power was much greater than that of the heavy trebuchets that Yang Rui obtained from the storyline.
No wonder the Thunderclap Chariot was mentioned in the romance. It seemed that this siege machine played a great role in the Battle of Guandu.
"How much longer do you need?"
Yang Rui turned to Mitsuku Kanerei and asked.
"About a quarter of an hour more …"
Mitsuku Kanerei replied.
Although Qian Ji Black Armored Battalion could resist the attacks of the Thunderclap Chariot, there was a limit to the number of times they could use it. With the Thunderclap Chariot's powerful firepower, Yang Rui had reason to suspect that Qian Ji Black Armored Battalion would not be able to hold on for long.
"Fengxiao, how much longer can Qian Ji Black Armored Battalion last?"
Yang Rui turned to Guo Jia and asked.
"If we let the enemy continue attacking, we should not be able to hold on for 15 minutes …"
Guo Jia looked at the second round of fireballs launched by Yuan Shao Society members and said. This confirmed Yang Rui's guess.
