If this situation continues to be stalemate, it will be unfavorable to the Clay tribe, because darkness will sooner or later pass, and without the protection of the night, the Clay tribe who attacked tonight will expose their shortcomings of insufficient troops. At that time, the imperial capital will be expeditioned.
The army can launch a large-scale move. Although their riding skills are not as good as theirs, the 230,000 they brought is enough to offset the power of the Clay cavalry. At that time, the raid war will become a war of attrition. If you are not careful, you will be fully charged.
The army was wiped out.
Clay commander Semir looked up at the still dark sky and issued the fourth order tonight. The 6ooo Clay warriors divided into two teams and surrounded the two sides of the Expeditionary Army camp.
They kept a distance of about 30 meters from the Expeditionary Army camp, and then controlled the horses to run slowly.
After all the soldiers entered the attack range, the Clay warriors who had lived on horseback since childhood took out their short bows and began to pour feather arrows into the camp of the Expeditionary Force. They rode on the horseback of the galloping horse.
Due to the bumps, the accurate head is naturally much worse. It’s just that 3 ooo people shoot together, and they shoot fixed targets, which is not a big problem.
The broken and crisp sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the quiet night. The Klay soldiers who were ordered to shoot around the imperial capital expeditionary army camp, led by their respective captains to shoot at the target 30 meters away in an orderly manner. The long and sharp
Arrows flew ruthlessly toward the target, penetrating everything they could penetrate.
The feather arrow shot by someone who was not sure who happened to shoot into the temporary stable of the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force. The feather arrow drilled directly into the head of a war horse, and the war horse immediately cried out a tragic sound and fell to the ground.
Then another feather arrow penetrated the tent and shot into the stable, but this time it only scratched the ears of another war horse, and a long blood mark was opened on the head of the war horse.
The war horse was frightened and painful, so of course it would instinctively struggle desperately, and it quickly broke the reins that tied it. After losing its restraint, the injured war horse jumped around and rushed out of the temporary stable, and brought it down at the same time.
After most of the tents, the shocked horses that ran out also caused a little chaos in the camps of the Expeditionary Force.
The Clay warriors who caused this result were about to ride a horse to approach the camp of the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force to achieve better results, but their leader ordered them to keep moving forward with loud shouts, because the Imperial Capital
The performance of the Expeditionary Force was so abnormal. Even if there were war horses running around in the camp, they were quickly killed, and the entire camp was still calm.
The Clay warriors who were running outside the Expeditionary Army camp continued to keep pace and run while shooting. However, in just over ten minutes, they met on the east side of the Expeditionary Army camp. In order to facilitate bows and archery, the Clay warriors used it.
It is a loose formation, with 4 or 5 meters of distance between each soldier. Such a wide distance is enough for another Clay warrior to ride through it, so the two Clay warriors' leaders did not intend to turn around at all.
Or the whole team, a series of whistles came out of their mouths, and they took their subordinates to meet the companions coming from the opposite team. Obviously, they were about to pass directly through the gap in the opposite team.
Even during the day with good vision, this kind of cross-traveling is not easy, not to mention that it is dark late at night, but these Clay warriors have grown up on horseback since childhood, and such a thing is for them
It is easy to say, because every Clay warrior seems extremely relaxed.
The two captains leading the team are naturally familiar with each other. They rode at the front of the team, and at the same time pulled out their own scimitars and began to walk across the two teams facing each other, passing by with their companions
When they passed, the two captains tapped each other's weapons with the back of the scimitar in their hands to show their respect.
The tremolo sounds of the scimitars after they hit each other were extremely clear at night. Even the crisp sound of horse hooves could not cover its spread. Unexpectedly, after the crisp sound of the scimitar, a little bit came from the sky.
The two captains who were commanding their subordinates with whistles were shocked. Of course, they understood what this whistling meant, so the two captains no longer had the confidence they had before, but shouted loudly with all their might:
The enemy attacks! The enemy attacks! Disperse immediately! Disperse immediately!"
When the two captains shouted, the two teams of 6 ooo people, Klay warriors, overlapped together, and the original loose formation also turned into a tight formation at this moment, and when they heard the captain's orders and the transmission from the sky
After the slightly depressing howling sound came, the soldiers immediately began to avoid it, but there was no room around them for them to move.
"Woo!" A large area of black clouds roared and fell from the front of the Clay warriors. Seeing this scene, all the Clay warriors were ashamed. Some of them tried their best to avoid it, but they bumped into their companions.
Both of them fell to the ground, while some waved the scimitar on their hands in despair and instinctively reacted.
When this rapidly flying "black cloud" turned into a "splashing rain" and poured towards these Clay warriors, the Clay warriors finally saw clearly that the "black cloud" was made of countless thick pieces
It is composed of short crossbow arrows. The range of arrows shot with hand crossbows is not very long, but the penetration is extremely strong. It can even penetrate the mail at a close distance of one or two hundred meters, not to mention
Through the Klay warriors who had almost no leather armor and the bodies of their horses under their crotch at a range of more than 30 meters.
"Ah!" Screams came one after another on the quiet prairie. Each crossbow arrow continued to fly after mercilessly penetrating the bodies of the Clay warriors and the war horses under his crotch. If there were still people on their flight trajectory
, then continued to penetrate through, and finally inserted it deeply into the ground.
"Huh!" Another black cloud rushed over, another heavy rain fell on its head. The archers of the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force who had been patient finally waited for the opportunity to vent their anger. Under the command of the archer Thomas, 5ooo famous
The crossbow archer repeatedly repeated the mechanism of pulling the crossbow arrows, pouring a total of 20,000 crossbow arrows on the heads of the Clay warriors. On the west side of the expeditionary army camp, the archer led Thomas in
After Colin moved, he immediately directed his longbow shooters to attack the Clay tribe who was still shooting fire arrows outside the camp. Since the Clay warriors shot fire arrows, their range was only 8oo meters at most.
Thomas's men are the best archers in the imperial capital. The longbows in their hands are enough to shoot a distance of more than 1 ooo meters. The range gap between them is enough to determine the outcome of a battle.
