Power and Empire Chapter 105: Scarlet Dawn (4)
"Damn barbarians!" Finding that he was ambushed, the commander of the arrogant Tiger Legion, Baron Helissatus, had his eyes red, even when he faced the brave Kujites, neither did the Tigers. Now so useless, the thin circular shield has almost no defense under the sharp arrows of the barbarian longbowmen. If the two arrows are not blocked, they are scattered because of the powerful impact of the arrow clan. The regular army of tens of thousands of people is unexpectedly caught by a group of barbarians. Blocking at the bottom of the mountain, you can only rely on the rocks and trees to dodge the arrow shot from above. If you want to return to Kyoto, you won't be laughed at by the generals!
But the situation on the battlefield was not changed by Helisatus’s will. The third wave of impact once again caused the strong archers above to shoot back, and the archers who rushed to cover were caught by the arrow rain before they reached the mountainside. Covering, except for leaving a hundred corpses filled with arrowheads on the mountainside, no progress has been made at all,
Thinking of the eagerly anticipated look in the eyes of Marquis Duéric, the commander-in-chief, when he left Kyoto, Helizatus felt a jump. Helizatus was also a member of the private army meeting in Kyoto, as this time The striker of the raid campaign, no one knows the leader Marquis Duéric better than him, and under what circumstances did he advance the attack time?
This is a gamble that determines the fate of the private army aristocrats. If you win, the entire southern kingdom will become a hunting ground for the private army aristocrats. If you lose, the private army aristocrats will be crushed by the wealthy Samorians.
In the face of the temptation of the huge southern cake, the private army nobles have almost all their possessions. In order to achieve the success of the mountain raid campaign, not only the last 20,000 reserve army was invested in this fate-determining battle, but the northern offensive was suspended, and the famous "Egangfen Heavy Infantry Regiment" and "Sahuli Fort" were transferred back. The heavy cavalry regiment, which gathered nearly 40,000 troops in the northern mountains of Flundi for a while,
Baron Helisatus knew that the leader, Marquis Duéric, was a rare ruthless character among the nobles. He was ruthless to the enemy and even more ruthless to his own people. In order to resist the Kurgits from entering Kyoto, Duaikeli did not hesitate to use it. The prisoners in the Kyoto prison formed a death camp and placed them at the forefront of their family’s army as cannon fodder. This method was difficult for the proud nobles of Kyoto to accept, but it resisted the Kujit attack. Tough and decisive, Duaikeli was recognized by most of the private army nobles and became the leader of the private army.
"Immediately adjust Satuk’s "Huya" reloading flag regiment", thinking that his head might become the first person to hang on the gate of the Marquis Duaikeri’s camp, Helisatus felt She shuddered and shouted angrily to the messenger soldier, "I don't care what he uses, but I still can't rush into this mountain forest at noon today, so I will take his head back to Kyoto to apologize to Master Du Aikri!"
As the order was issued, a team of heavily armored large shield infantry began to assemble under the mountain. As these heavily armored shield fighters went into the mountain battle, the one-sided suppression situation took a turn for the better. The mountain barbarian longbowmen The red tail hair floating on the helmet of the shield warrior of the "Huya" flag regiment was also unable to shoot through the shield warrior wearing heavy armor. The blood mist spread across the mountainside, densely packed like red ants
"Finally attacked!" A triumphant smile appeared on Helisatus's excited face,
Although there are many barbarians on the mountain, most of them are light archers. As long as the Huya Banner rushes to the top of the mountain, these ambush barbarians have no choice but to retreat if they don’t want to be torn to pieces by the swords of the heavily loaded warriors. The road into the northern mountainous area will be opened. Although the intelligence says there are tens of thousands of barbarians, Helisatus does not believe that these poorly equipped and untrained barbarians can withstand the forty thousand private troops that then flood into the mountainous area. Elite.
"The Thorns Longbow is ready for the team!" Xanthai, who is in charge of commanding the barbarian longbowman on the top of the hill, looked at the slowly approaching heavy shield warrior and shouted "Target! The enemy's eyes!"
A team of more than five hundred barbarian archers emerged from the jungle behind Kesaster, with sharp eyes, tall stature, and two-meter long rhino-horned longbows behind them, all of which are of the level of stabwa tribe. The tallest longbowman of thorns is also the first five hundred people sent by the Tsava tribe to Samor for training.
Although they don’t have the tyrannical strength of one hundred meters* to wear steel shields or steel armor like the genius Xalister, within 80 meters, they can basically reach the strength of an arrow through the enemy’s throat. In the short training of Samor for a few days, Samor’s instructor only taught one thing, that is, how to directly kill a close enemy. After all, in Fatty’s vision, the main task of these barbarian archers is to secretly Defend the arrogant and arrogant heavy knight.
The "Red Tail Hair" on the mountainside is getting closer and closer, and the barbarian long archers can even see the blood-red eyes of the "Huya" heavy-loaded soldiers, and the heavy footsteps of the heavy-loaded infantry can be heard in their ears. The light barbarian archers who have been shortening the distance, the tiger-tooth soldiers also drew their swords, and suddenly there was a sound of swords, "Chong!" There was a roar, and the pace of their feet began to accelerate, pressing against an iron wall against the mountain. Come up.
Faced with the approaching Huya reloaded soldiers, the counterattack at the top of the mountain soon began, "Wow!" A white line shot out from the forest not far away, drew an arc and shot into a shield warrior exposed outside. Eyes, blood-stained arrows pierced through the back of his head, and the shield warrior fell straight to the ground. This sudden change caused several tiger-tooth warriors nearby to stagnate and their faces were extremely ugly
"Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!) More than 300 "huya" shield warriors had no time to dodge, and their eyes were pierced by long arrows. They screamed, covering their eyes with their hands, rolling on the ground in pain, and screaming screams resounding through the mountains
The entire "Huya" reloading flag regiment had only two thousand people, and suddenly a large swath fell. The tragedy of the colleagues who opened the way in front made the reloaded soldiers following shudder, and there was a commotion in the heavy fighters queue for a while. , The shield warrior's neatly advancing formation stopped on the mountainside,
"Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh time Powerful and unstoppable, "Bump! Bump" many tiger-tooth heavy infantry holding large iron shields fell with arrows, and the iron shield in their hands was penetrated by a hole
"Come over! Everyone rushed up!" Satuk, the leader of the banner standing on the mountainside, waved his sword angrily and shouted, "We have no way out! If you don't want to die, everyone will rush forward! As long as we are we Rushing to the top of the mountain, these nasty barbarians only have to wait for the slaughter!"
Satuk’s words did not fall, "Bump!" Suddenly a phantom shot from the top of the mountain hitting the Satuk steel helmet, making a crisp sound, and the powerful impact hit Satuk’s figure. Wow, almost sitting on the ground, a special long iron arrow nailed to the steel helmet, the white arrowhead tail trembles slightly
"Hiss!" This heavy arrow not only made Satuk pale, but there was also a sound of inhalation nearby. From the top of the mountain to the mountainside, there was at least one hundred and fifty meters away. It can be at such a long distance. , An arrow hit Satuk’s helmet, and it was firmly nailed to the steel helmet. This archery and power made everyone fearful
