Chapter 571: Chapter 571 Can you be more despicable? (1)_1

"Immediately get the archers to shoot down the flag-bearer." Seeing the battle situation continuously deteriorating, cunning Bayal was anxious. He had observed for a long time from the rear and figured out the strategy behind the formation. Chu Suifeng, along with Situ Gong and Luo Heng, was changing the battle formation based on changes in the flag above.

The Northern Land had deployed eight generals, leading an ununiformed number of soldiers who seemed to each be fighting their own battles. However, upon closer inspection, it would be easy to find that they were actually coordinating their attacks. The communication tool they used was not manpower, but the flags flying high.

The order was issued, but it proved difficult to implement.

Because the flag of the Northern Land was not held by someone, but instead hung high in the air. The pole was inserted on a war chariot.

The flag was raised using a thin wire, impossible to shoot down. Even their best archer in the North Country couldn’t shoot it down.

"Concentrate your forces to kill Chu Suifeng." Billy was exasperated but remained calm.

"Yes, National Master," a general immediately accepted the command and left.

"We cannot let Chu Suifeng return." North Country’s bravest warrior, Timur, was almost in agony as he saw his side losing. He saw Chu Suifeng’s ferocious killing of his soldiers from afar, the idea of not letting Chu Suifeng go kept spinning in his mind.

Chu Suifeng was too strong, he was a god in the hearts of everyone in the Northern Land. As long as they could capture him, the Northern Land would belong to the North Country. They can’t let the tiger return to its mountain! Thinking of this, Timur and several generals joined forces to try their best to kill Chu Suifeng.

"Those people want to attack the prince." Lin Ziyin stood on the city wall. Humph, under her watch, there was no way for anyone to harm her man.

"Use the ballista to attack the main commander position in their rear." Lin Ziyin ordered.

Master Hui Zhen listened cheerfully, not finding Lin Ziyin’s boldness off-putting at all. He thought the girl’s audacity was for the prince’s protection, and this couple, yet to be married, was indeed a pair created by heaven.

There were trusted aides from Chu Suifeng left on the city wall, and all these people knew Lin Ziyin’s identity.

When the future queen announced her order, nobody dared to slack off.

"Prepare the ballista. Target the enemy’s rear."

Upon receiving the order, the ballista was quickly adjusted for direction and angle.

The upgraded ballista had greatly improved range and accuracy. As soon as Lin Ziyin identified the target, the ballista operator followed the instruction, aimed at the target, and immediately pulled the lever.

A dense array of arrows shot out, targeting the crowd in the rear of the North Country’s army.

Many of the North Country’s soldiers were shot down, causing a stir in the rear.

Bayal and Billy were far apart, so they didn’t get hit by the arrows, but a large swath of soldiers fell not far in front of them.

The ballista was originally designed to target densely packed soldiers. Undoubtedly, the dense Northern Country soldiers had become the victims of this new type of deadly weapon.

"How is the power of the ballista so great?" Bayal was shocked.

While the soldiers were panicking, Billy had already brought over several arrows.

These arrows were different. The arrowhead was triangular, and the tail of the arrowhead had a cunningly designed hook. This design would cause more severe injuries to those hit by the arrows.

Billy took a sharp breath after seeing this.

The numerous tactics deployed by the Northern Land today were completely unexpected. The continuous casualties on the battlefield also led to a rapid decline in the morale of the North Country soldiers.

"National Master, the order to retreat must be sounded," Bayal exclaimed in horror. According to the current situation, if they continued to fight, they would definitely suffer a great loss.
