"Tap! Tread!" 1,000 Clay warriors galloped on their horses. As soon as they entered the shooting range, they immediately bent their bows and fired arrows, attacking the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force that was standing in the camp..com However, the camp was quiet.
Abnormally, even though they were attacked by a dense rain of arrows, the soldiers of the Imperial City Expeditionary Force still chose to raise their shields high, without any sign of counterattack.
These 1,000 Clay warriors quickly rushed into a distance of less than 1,000 meters from the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force. The leader immediately whistled, turned his horse's head and ran to the side. The Clay warriors behind him naturally
He also followed the leader in a large circle away from the expeditionary camp and broke away from the battle.
Chief Abdul, who was in charge of the central army, remained calm. He had already sent four such teams to test his opponents, but his opponents still remained calm. This performance was not beyond Chief Abdul's expectations.
After all, if the opponent is very impulsive, it is impossible for him to choose to stay in the camp, but to directly lead his troops into battle.
Chief Abdul thought for a while and decided to launch a strong attack. He waved his hand and said to the messenger who had been waiting beside the car: "Let Daoud lead the team to directly attack the opponent's camp, and Lebib will lead the troops."
Provide remote support!" ordered
The soldier immediately ran a few steps quickly and got on his horse. However, Kailim, who was next to Chief Abdul, was slightly stunned. He knew that all Daoud's men were herdsmen over 50 years old. Obviously the chief was planning to use
The path to victory is paved with human lives.
Chief Abdul's order was quickly passed down. On the left side of the entire Clay position, Daoud, who had been waiting there for a long time, immediately led his men to attack, and the gap left by their troops was
It was quickly filled up by the troops behind. Daoud led his troops and stopped 2 kilometers away from the expeditionary camp. He gave continuous orders for his subordinates to line up and prepare to attack.
At this time, a team also ran out from the right wing of the Clay tribe's position. This was obviously the army led by Lebib. This regular army of the Clay tribe quickly came behind Daoud's tribe.
However, they did not take out their bows and arrows, but instead pulled out their scimitars. Obviously, the so-called providing long-range support was probably to supervise the battle.
Daoud was naturally clear about the tasks undertaken by his comrades behind him. He smiled bitterly, pulled out his scimitar, and then roared loudly: "The time has come to devote yourself to the true God, brothers, follow
I'm charging!" Before he could finish his words, Daoud had already galloped forward, and his 10,000-year-old herdsman subordinates naturally drew out their weapons and followed closely behind Daoud.
The 2-kilometer journey is not far, but if the horses run wildly from the beginning, the herdsmen's horses may not have enough strength when they reach the opponent, so Daoud controls the horses very experiencedly. According to that person
According to the information provided by Saimir, who failed in the night attack, the range of the expeditionary army's bows and arrows can reach more than 1,000 meters. This is why Daoud first formed his team at a distance of 2 kilometers.
In the first kilometer of the journey, Daoud basically just controlled the war horse to jog at a broken pace to warm up the horse. At the same time, he kept shouting and asked his herdsmen to maintain their formation as much as possible.
After Daoud led his troops into the range of the expeditionary force, he immediately began to speed up his horses and at the same time began to order the entire team to disperse and advance towards the enemy in a loose formation to minimize the damage caused by the enemy's bows and arrows.
Experienced commanders can naturally tell whether the opponent is deliberately testing or attacking with full force. Therefore, when the Daoud tribe of the Clay tribe entered a range of 100 meters from the expeditionary camp, Thomas, who was hiding in the camp, gave the order to shoot.
,5000 famous crossbow archers immediately flattened the crossbow in their hands
The bow triggered the shooting mechanism. At such a close distance, as long as the crossbow arrow is slightly aimed at the target when shooting, it is impossible to miss, and the unprotected body of the Clay herdsmen is even less likely to block the penetration.
The extremely powerful crossbow arrows will often penetrate 3 or 4 people before stopping flying.
The herdsmen of the Clay tribe who were hit by arrows fell off their horses one after another. Even if they were lucky enough not to be shot to death by crossbow arrows, they would be trampled to death by their galloping companions behind them. However, such casualties would not have any impact on the morale of the Clay tribe.
What impact will it have? In their opinion, sacrificing one's life for the true God on the battlefield is
The most glorious thing, not to mention the generous pension promised by Chief Abdul. Under the dual inspiration of faith and material resources, and in the hope that future generations can live a better life, these 10,000 Clay people
The herdsmen frantically attacked the expeditionary camp with the belief that they would die.
Thomas and his subordinates in the expeditionary camp kept repeating their work. They were divided into the first row. After shooting, they immediately took a few steps back from the gap between the teams and went to the last row of the entire queue to reinstall the crossbows.
The shooters in the second row took a few steps forward and fired the crossbows in their flat-end hands. After the shooters in the fifth row finished shooting, the crossbow shooters in the first row had prepared everything again and could start the second round of shooting. On the opposite side
The charge of the Clay herdsmen looked astonishing,
However, it did not have any impact on Thomas's shooters, because they are well-trained warriors, the most elite warriors in the entire imperial capital. In order to wait for this day of revenge, they have practiced repeatedly in the past four years. Thomas is confident
Even if he leads his troops and is attacked on the prairie, as long as the disparity in numbers between the two sides is not large, he can still block the enemy's attack. What's more, these crossbow shooters are now protected in front of their comrades, Jonas Legion's Fang.
Array warrior.
More than ten rounds of shooting annihilated the entire Daoud tribe of the Clay tribe. However, the Daoud herdsmen who rushed at the front were already less than 20 meters away from the expeditionary camp. All this was witnessed by Chief Abdul.
In his eyes, he nodded slightly and gave the order
gave the order to continue the attack. The left wing of the Clay tribe's position moved again, and more Clay tribe herdsmen came to the front of the two armies' formations on horseback. Their leaders, like Daoud, slowly arranged their formation.
Then he launched the charge without hesitation.
The only difference from the last time is that this time the Lebib tribe who was originally responsible for supervising the battle actually joined the charge. The 20,000 Clay herdsmen in front of them would try to attract the enemy as much as possible to these outstanding warriors.
Long-range firepower so that they can rush into the enemy camp. After seeing the Clay tribe launching a real attack, Colin's longbowmen were also ordered to join the battle. Their shooting range reached 1,000 meters, which was enough to share Thomas's burden.
their pressure.
The war drums were beating all over the sky, and countless Clay warriors shouted the names of the true god and Chief Abdul, waving the scimitars in their hands and rushed towards the expeditionary camp. What greeted them were arrows that were enough to block the sun in the sky.
In the rain, the Battle of Jinghu Lake entered its most intense moment.
——————*——————*——————
Just when the battle on Ouranos Ranch was at its most intense, Ryan stood on the south bank of Mirror Lake helplessly looking at the calm water. The name of Mirror Lake was indeed apt, and Ryan could even see through the clear water.
His own reflection was extremely clear. Ryan could even clearly see every pattern on his clothes from the reflection.
"Pa!" A pebble was thrown into the lake, and the calmness of the lake was broken. Lane's reflection naturally became fragmented as the lake rippled. Roger's hateful voice came from behind Lane.
: "Damn it, it was blocked by this lake!"
Ryan smiled. He turned around and gave the order to take a short rest. The order was soon spread. Several captains of the Windwalking Archer Corps arranged for their subordinates to rest, eat, and send out scouts to guard them. Of course, Ryan was not interested in such trivial matters.
After asking for help, he slowly ate some food and then sat on a stone on the shore of Jinghu Lake, waiting silently.
About 30 minutes later, all the scouts who had been sent out to investigate the road returned, but what they brought back was unfortunate news: a fierce battle had broken out in the Ouranos Ranch to the east, and the Clay tribe's scouts sent out more than a dozen
Kilometers, it was impossible for Ryan and the others to go around the east side of Jinghu Lake without alerting the scouts. The scouts responsible for scouting the west side of Jinghu Lake were even more frustrated and said that they had been galloping for more than 30 minutes and still could not see anything.
At the end of Mirror Lake, according to the information obtained previously, the shape of Mirror Lake is long and flat, and Ryan and the others are just east of the south bank of Mirror Lake. If they plan to detour from the west to the Clay tribe's camp, I'm afraid
It will take more than 4 hours. It is just noon now. If we go around, not to mention that the combat effectiveness is greatly reduced due to the lack of men and horses, it is very likely that we will run into the main force of the Clay tribe returning to the camp. That would be equivalent to dying on our own.
.
After listening to the reports from his subordinates, Ryan just smiled lightly, but without any negative emotions such as frustration or anger. He gave a few faint instructions and asked the Fengxing Archer Legion to assemble. In just 5 minutes, 45oo well-trained
The entire team of Fengxing shooters was already standing in front of Ryan.
Ryan first looked around, letting his eyes flow over the faces of every popular shooter. After seeing that his men still maintained high morale, Ryan smiled with satisfaction and spoke loudly: "Very good.
I am very satisfied, your instructor Mr. Serres did not disappoint me."
After hearing the lord's praise for him, the Fengxing Archer still kept a calm expression on his face. This made Ryan more satisfied. Only such an army and such warriors can create an invincible myth. Ryan thought for a while and continued
Said: "I think the current imperial capital and
The situation in Cassano is also very clear to everyone. For the future of Cassano, we must defeat the Clay tribe. Otherwise, whether we go north to regain the lost land occupied by the orcs or go south to recover the old debts owed by the Free Alliance, we will all be in trouble.
