The bow and arrow strikes from the Second Army of Dragon City made the advancing forward army seem to be sifted through a sieve, becoming more and more sparse!
Gerald Eden stared at the tragic situation ahead with his mouth open. He thought that the forward of 80,000 people, even at worst, could hang with the opponent, so that he could use the huge numerical advantage to eat away at the enemy bit by bit. But now
How could he not be surprised to lose tens of thousands without even touching the corner of the enemy's clothes?
But now Jellal can't easily send the follow-up troops up, "Damn, why is this place so small!"
Since the battlefield selected by Zhang Liao could only be suitable for fighting with no more than 200,000 people, Jellal could only stare blankly even if he sent people there.
"Come here, pass my order and tell it to the forward commander! Even if you die, you will die on the forward line!" Jellal cursed and roared, and his order was conveyed to the commander along with the cavalry who rushed to the front line risking their lives.
On hand.
"I know." The commander who had been hit by an arrow but was pulled out by himself replied calmly. He has now put everything aside. The despair caused by the huge loss has made him look down on everything.
.
"Brothers! Charge with me!" Pao Ze, who had known each other day and night, died in an unknown manner, causing the forward soldiers to ignore their bows and arrows and rush like crazy.
The rain of arrows was killing the soldiers of the forward army all the time. The soldiers around them fell one after another, and the endless arrows made it difficult for the forward army to move forward.
Just two hundred meters was so far away for the current forward troops. Finally, under the attack of arrows, they broke through the distance of one hundred meters!
Close! Close! As long as you rush over, the enemy will not dare to shoot with bows and arrows!
Every time the vanguard takes a breath, the second blow comes!
Hand crossbow!
Yes, at this distance, the pikemen in the fourth row and the sword and shield soldiers on both wings took out the hand crossbows they carried and fired at the enemies in front!
Less than fifty or sixty meters away, all the small arrows on the crossbow at this distance were shot straight away.
These crossbow arrows flashed past.
When they appear, they bring only death and fear.
Rows of charging soldiers fell under the sudden attack, with most of the crossbow bolts hitting their faces and bodies.
Many soldiers who were hit by arrows in the face did not die on the spot. They were wailing, blood gushed out, and the crossbow arrows on their faces were so terrifying and ferocious.
Hand crossbows were fired in batches, and they replaced the bows and arrows and became the new ditch, allowing the charging Alton soldiers to leave their blood on this land.
Ding ding ding…
After suffering a blow, many Alton soldiers used their shields to push forward. The power of hand crossbows could not penetrate the shields, so they could move forward. However, at this time, there were less than 40,000 soldiers who could continue to charge.
!
In other words, under Dragon City's four waves of long-range attacks, more than the average forward army died on the way to the charge!
What kind of situation is this! Although attacks including bows, arrows and crossbows are very damaging to light infantry, they cannot have such a great effect!
In fact, there is a special situation here, that is, the army of the Ross continent fights in a tight military formation, so for the light infantry that lacks defense, saturated long-range strikes are extremely fatal!
From a distance of 500 meters, in just ten minutes, nearly 100,000 bows and arrows and crossbow arrows were scattered on this small piece of land. Naturally, such a huge result can be achieved!
Zhang Liao nodded slightly, and the methods of Longcheng's regular army were undoubtedly revealed at this moment. From crossbow formations, to scattered cavalry, to archers, and finally a large number of hand crossbows, this series of long-range attack methods opened his eyes.
.No wonder the lord has always asked the army to take a comprehensive route. The combination of different arms is not a simple one plus one effect.
Less than 40,000 Alton soldiers finally rushed to the vanguard of the Second Army under a hail of arrows and a few hits from hand-held crossbows.
The fast-loading hand crossbows fired continuously, and batches of soldiers fell on the charging road one after another.
"Lancers, prepare!" the front commanders at the front of the gun array shouted loudly.
Following their voices, the gun array that had been waiting for a long time emitted a bloodthirsty light!
"Enter the enemy!"
Puff puff puff puff puff puff…………
As if one person was moving, the spearmen in the first row thrust out the spears in their hands, regardless of whether there were enemies in front of them!
The Alton soldiers who had just rushed forward were stabbed to death by rows of spears in front of the formation. Then, after a moment of pause, the first row of spearmen suddenly withdrew the spears.
The moment they drew back their spears, the second row of spearmen thrust out their spears again and took over the attack from the front row soldiers!
With perfect coordination and attacks without gaps, the Alton soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground under the continuous assassination.
Three rows of spearmen performed perfectly, demarcating this short two-meter distance as a death zone!
Zhang Liao took a breath. He had heard about the terror of the spearmen in the army. Even the other troops under his command privately said that the spearmen were cold-blooded animals. This kind of ruthless mechanical killing made people instantly scalp.
tingling!
Among the troops in Dragon City, the most famous ones are the former Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. As proud cavalry, they enjoyed the honor of forming an independent army. And those tough cavalry have also become an image of Dragon City's invincible army.
The largest number of soldiers in the army are the sword and shield soldiers. Because of the unified configuration, the boundaries between archers, crossbowmen and sword and shield soldiers seem to have become blurred. Basically, as the first and second armies of the A-type army, each
Soldiers must learn to use crossbows, bows, arrows, swords and shields to fight, so that one soldier can be used for multiple purposes.
On the other hand, for the most ordinary spearmen, it seems that their daily training consists of forming formations and assassinations, which is monotonous and boring. In addition, most of the spearmen, who are known for their strict military discipline, are taciturn and seem to have turned into machines. Indeed.
, because of the special requirements of the spear formation, each of the spearmen must become part of the whole. As the strongest rock on the front, they are so insignificant compared to the sword and shield players who charge freely and even the heavy infantry.
Eye-catching.
But when it comes to killing, only at this moment did the spearmen let people see what real killing is!
Even many of the swordsmen and shieldmen who were shooting crossbows stopped loading and looked at the formation of spearmen who were repeatedly performing assassination movements in shock!
Thirty thousand!
A total of 30,000 Alton forwards rushed to the spearmen's formation, and then died two meters away from the line that was called the boundary between life and death!
This was a horrific killing that could no longer be described in words, and the battlefield fell silent.
The Dragon City army looked at these silent spearmen, as if they were reminded of the scene just now again.
"Ah!!!!" An Alton soldier broke through the forest of guns, slammed into the shield wall, and prepared to swing the long sword in his hand to kill the Dragon City spearmen.
At this moment, the soldiers in the second row who had just withdrawn their spears, when they returned their hands, drew the tip of their spears across their opponents' necks, and blood immediately poured over their heads like a dam that had burst.
The spearmen in the front row, as if it were a matter of course, never paid attention to the enemy who wanted to kill them from the beginning to the end!
This is the spearman. They never care about themselves. All they need to do is to repeat one action before they die! To assassinate, extend the tip of the spear and withdraw the tip of the spear!
What kind of indifference can one truly put one's own life and death at risk!
In the previous attack, more than 500 front-line spearmen died in the battle. However, after they fell, the spearmen in the back row automatically took a step forward, stood on the dead spearmen's positions, and continued to repeat the assassination action.
.
There is no roar or expression, they just need to use all the strength of their body to make an action.
This is the spearman!
This is the rock of Dragon City!
The ruthless killing killed all the invading enemies. With the cooperation of crossbows and arrows, the spearmen's front annihilated 30,000 Alton forwards with less than 600 casualties!
This quick and effective killing silenced the entire battlefield for a while.
From the beginning of the war to now, it has only been more than an hour.
The 80,000 Alton Allied Forces were reduced to nothing under the multiple blows of the Second Army, and the entire army was killed!
Jellal stared blankly at the battlefield ahead. The moment the forward troops came into contact, he waved and sent out a follow-up army of 100,000 troops as support.
But before the army has advanced halfway, the battle ahead is over!
At that moment, Jellal seemed to be separated from his body, shaking on his horse and almost falling.
After more than an hour of fighting, the Second Army fired nearly 300,000 arrows. Covered by a large amount of arrow rain, the forward army suffered huge losses, and the death line thrust out by the spearmen made the entire army even more vulnerable.
The vanguard was completely destroyed.
Zhang Liao concealed his excitement. He had led troops for so many years, but he had never led such a powerful army. How could he not be excited?
However, the battle just now also caused the logistics reserves of the Second Army to plummet.
In this expedition, the First Fleet continued to transport, and many Dragon City caravans volunteered to help transport supplies. The reserves of the Second Army only amounted to more than 500,000 arrows. Now it took less than an hour to start the war, but seven arrows were consumed.
Seven or eighty-eight, it’s surprising but also a little worrying.
Fortunately, Zhang Liao didn't care about this. After destroying the enemy's vanguard, this battle was destined to be a victory.
With a wave of his hand, the formation of the Second Army began to change.
From the rear to the forward, the Second Army slowly retreated!
This move made Alton confused. It is a taboo for military strategists to retreat before the war!
Although they hesitated a little because their forward was destroyed, they gained confidence again when they saw the enemy slowly retreating.
Many people thought that because the enemy had also suffered a lot in the battle just now, and had shot so many arrows, it was estimated that there were not many left. The Alton coalition had to continue, otherwise the retreat would inevitably fail.
Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope!
When Zhang Liao saw the enemy following him, a sneer flashed across his lips. The fish had taken the bait and it was time to pull the rope!
