"Dodge the arrow!"

After the order was given, the soldiers of the Shence Battalion quickly took cover in the trenches.

Meanwhile, the grassland bandits in the distance had already approached the first trench.

"defense!"

"Divine Martial Captain Liu Zheng shouted in a deep voice."

The soldiers in the first trench immediately gripped their bows and arrows, drawing them and firing them forward through the trench edge.

The scattered arrows could not cause much damage to the grassland bandits.

However, this also inadvertently slowed down the advance of the grassland bandits.

"hehe!"

Nahatai, however, was not afraid at all.

After all, they were almost at the trenches.

He knew in his heart that once he crossed the trenches, it would be time for them to start a massacre!

"Charge!"

Nahatai roared, brandishing his scimitar, which gleamed with a cold light.

One after another, warhorses galloped in. With the trenches within reach, Nahatai spurred his horses on, and they leaped up to cross them.

The grassland bandits who followed closely behind also leaped onto their horses.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion in the trenches took action.

"rise!"

With a loud shout, the soldiers of the Divine Martial Camp raised their spears.

Spears suddenly stood up, lying side by side across the trench.

Some of the grassland bandits were unable to dodge in time and were pierced through the belly of their horses by spears.

Thick, fresh blood gushed out and flowed down the spear shaft.

Due to the immense inertia, the warhorse, with its lance still attached, crashed to the ground behind the first trench.

"kill!"

Several members of the work team stabbed him directly with long spears.

Before the grassland bandit could react, he was stabbed to death with clubs.

The spears erected in the trenches killed some of the grassland bandits on the spot.

However, a large number of the grassland bandits crossed the first trench and arrived at the open ground behind.

However, when they saw the second trench in Naghtai, they were completely stunned.

This trench was actually wider and deeper than the first trench.

Even the finest warhorses would likely struggle to cross such deep trenches.

For a moment, the grassland bandits who had crossed the first trench were at a loss, unsure of whether to advance or retreat.

Just then, members of the hunting party in the second trench, holding their bows and arrows, aimed at the close-range grassland bandits and released the bowstrings.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Arrows shot through the air, heading straight for the grassland bandits.

Although the members of the hunting team were not soldiers of the royal guard, they had been trekking through the mountains and forests for several months and were all seasoned and experienced hunters.

Extremely accurate and incredibly powerful!

Arrows pierced the bodies of the grassland bandits, instantly taking the lives of a group of them.

"It's numb!"

Nahatai shouted in a deep voice, "Kill them!"

He brandished his curved sword and charged forward, seeking revenge.

However, just as these grassland bandits were about to move again, a rope suddenly appeared on the ground and tripped the horse's leg.

The horse, in pain, fell to the ground, dragging the grassland bandit on its back with it.

In a short time, these grassland bandits were completely thrown into disarray.

The momentum of their initial charge was completely neutralized.

Located between the first and second trenches, the battlefield became extremely chaotic.

In the chaos, some steppe bandits, unsure of what to do, entered the second trench, hoping to use their cavalry advantage to fight their way out.

However, this idea was completely shattered when they entered the second trench.

The trenches appeared flat, but in the foxholes on the sides of the trenches, Dongning civilians were huddled together.

These people from Dongning were holding long spears.

As warhorses dismounted, taking advantage of the grassland bandits' inattention, several spears were thrust out at once.

In an instant, the grassland bandit was stabbed into a pincushion and died on the spot.

The other grassland bandits who had entered the trenches were also completely panicked and hurriedly urged their horses forward. However, after running a short distance, the ground suddenly caved in, and the horses fell into the deep pit.

The sharp spikes standing upright in the pit pierced the horse's belly and also the body of the grassland bandits.

The second trench was wider and deeper.

This trench was also the largest one to be constructed. Not only were foxholes dug around the trench for hiding people, but traps were also set up on the ground.

This was to deal with the grassland bandits!

Clearly, these arrangements were beyond the expectations of the grassland bandits.

Seeing the tragic deaths of the grassland bandits in the trenches, Nahatai's face darkened.

He originally thought that the situation would improve once he crossed the trenches.

However, he miscalculated!

Naghtai never expected that crossing the trenches would diminish their greatest advantage.

Moreover, with the battle raging, the archer support from the rear also ceased.

What awaited them was endless melee from the trenches.

The number of people from Dongning in the trenches was enormous!

It included not only soldiers from the Divine Martial Battalion and the Divine Valor Battalion, but also members of the hunting teams and engineering teams.

In the distance, the Shence Battalion soldiers were still using their bows and arrows to snipe and kill the grassland bandits.

Further away, He Chaojun gazed at the distant battlefield.

When the grassland bandit cavalry charged into the trenches, the grassland bandit archers in the distance also stopped firing.

However, in the rear, the grassland bandits' entourage, armed with siege weapons, continued their charge, attempting to provide support.

Seeing this, He Chaojun smiled coldly and said in a deep voice, "Shenji Battalion, advance the barrage, free fire! Fire!"
