Power and Empire Chapter 341: Prairie fox (2)
Yes. grown ups! Cocoon Les’s characteristic head should be, and leaving with the few middle bodies behind him, Misoa looked at Kleist’s firm back and nodded secretly. As expected, he is a descendant of the famous Kleis, Kleis is Miaoerdian famous gate in the north. The contemporary patriarch is one of the three lords in the north.
The family itself is a legend. From Palahan to Eichmore, this famous family who was expelled from Palahan with humiliation, has fought with the blood of several generations of his family. Not only has it firmly established itself in the freezing north, but it has also grown stronger and stronger. With the Kyoto Uprising 30 years ago, it has become the top of the pyramid of power.
The strong northern hero Kleis stomped his feet, and the court of Kujit shook a few times. In the northern grasslands, you may not know who the Miaoerdian king is, but you can’t help but know this family with 30,000 people. The Kleis family of cavalry. Before the blade, the old Duke Kleis was the most staunch supporter of the current His Majesty the King.
In the Battle of Aichemore the previous year, the family heir, General Kleisenhe, defeated the tens of thousands of cavalry rescued by Kujit, and made the glory of the family atop it.
"Following the order to attack, a group of Jun Erdian soldiers were wearing heavy armor embroidered with crosses, holding tall and heavy shields in their hands, and jumped in front of them without hesitation. The river water, the rapid waves hit their feet, and white waves appeared on their feet, and there was a rumbling sound on the river surface
This section of the river bank is the narrowest and the most rushing place of the Elette River. Some soldiers were washed away by the river before their feet were stable, but no one flinched. They are the most in the Miaoerdian Northern Army. Elite troops, murderous gazes are exposed from the black helmet,
More soldiers jumped down, and the dense crowd was like a long black wall swaying on the wide river. The cold river water could not cool the soldiers’ blood
"We must win! We must win!" Miao Erdian's heavy infantry shouted, hitting the shield with the long spear handle in his hand, and the neat impact sounded like a drum of battle across the river, leading the soldiers to win. And the pride of the Miaordian army, approach the Samor Barracks across the river
Saron looked at the soldiers of Inerdian who were fighting in the river, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "***, I know you can't stay! Come on, come here, I have a great gift for you! "
"My lord, you guessed it right, our scouts in the upper reaches have spotted a large number of high-moving cavalry! We will reach our right flank in at most ten minutes!" Adjutant Keitelai leaned in strangely. There is a hint of excitement in the voice
"Okay" comes well! "Salong said with excitement. He raised his head and looked at the river. The Miaoerdian heavy infantry lined up in the middle of the river, and the rapids hit them, forming a whirlpool, which made the heavy armored Miaoerdian travel progress. Slowed down a lot,
"Order the frontier crossbowmen to shoot three in a row!" With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Salon waved his hand to the messenger behind him, telling them loudly, "I just want to withdraw, and give these Miaoerdians a commemorative! Put down a hundred people, I withdrew his position!"
"Prepare for crossbow sniper!" The shouts of the crossbowman captains came from the crossbow formation, and the arrows with cold light appeared from the fence and soil platform steadily. The crossbowmen squatted or squatted, or stood up, five thousand. The heavy infantry crossbow aimed at the Miaoerdian soldiers moving in the river at the same time. The sharp eyes of the crossbowmen moved slowly with the figure in the river
"Three consecutive shots!" shouted the crossbowman squadron leader, his raised right hand turned into a phantom in the dark and fell from a high place, the loud voice resounded across the night sky, for the Miaoerdian people struggling in the river. Sentenced to death
"Beng" The sound of bowstring vibrating intensively in the Samor army formation, howling sharp arrowheads flying all over the sky, swift white trajectories across the river, and slammed into the Miaoerdian infantry's mail "poof" Blood spurted from the wounds of Miaoerdian infantrymen,
The distance from the center of the river to the camp of Samor was only a few meters away. The heavy armor of the Miaoerdian heavy infantry could not withstand the penetrating power of the infantry crossbow. The strong impact force caused the body of the Miaoerdian soldier to shake suddenly. I looked at the half white arrow cluster exposed in disbelief, my body shook in the river water, and was immediately washed away by the rushing river water,
"Beng! Beng! Beng!" The soldiers in the Inerdian River hadn't reacted yet. The foremost forward was already covered by dense arrowheads, and the water could not be evaded. In order to fight for the maximum, many soldiers put their shields on. Lifting the head high to cross the river, this undoubtedly exposed the front. The intensive three-shot burst was continuous like raindrops, the howling of killing cut through the sky, and the volley of crossbows made In Erdian's heavy infantry fall down. Thousands in the front row. Almost none of the famous Inerdian soldiers were spared. Their bodies were filled with clusters of white arrows, falling down one by one like harvested straw.
The blood-stained corpses rise and fall with the waves, and the formation of the Inerdian Army is smashed by arrows. The neat rows are full of gaps.
"Order the whole team to rush over! Be sure to drag the enemy!" Leading the army to rush to the second... Second Leicester's eyes are red, this heavy equipment squadron is its own effort. Dao Xunyi lives with his own elite, specially transferred from the Cleis family. He wanted to show his face, but did not expect to lose a third in the first battle
"Woohoo!" Salong heard the trombone sound on the other side of the river, and saw the newly crippled Miao Erdian striker, quickly replenished by the soldiers on the second and third lines behind him, without any scruples about the corpse floating beside him. Pushing forward against the rain of arrows, this style of fearlessness is no worse than that of Samor soldiers
"Want to crucify us! It's fantastic!" Saron spit on the ground with a disdainful face, and the "whoop" river breeze pierced in his ears, and a faint rumbling sound could be heard, and Isaron led it all the time. The experience of the cavalry, at most minutes, the Inerdian cavalry who will sneak attack will come
"It's really fast!" Salon turned his head decisively and ordered the adjutant next to him, "Order the entire army to evacuate immediately!"
"Retreat! Hurry, retreat!" The captains of the Samor crossbowmen shouted to the vigorous crossbowmen who were still shooting. The other troops had already withdrawn, and Saron only left five thousand crossbowmen. After the decision, a strict order was issued. Those who did not comply with the military order were treated as deserters. This is the second best punishment in the Samor army after defecting.
Once you become a deserter, not only will all your military merits be revoked, but the allocated land will also be taken back.
Although the crossbowmen don’t know the reason, the legion commander can use such a cruel decree, but they can also feel the joy and danger.
Now hearing the order to retreat, no matter where the crossbowmen dare to delay, they quickly jumped up from the ground, carried the heavy infantry crossbow behind them, and ran with two legs to the fortress gate a hundred meters away. Entering the gate of the northern fortress, you can hear the sound of rumbling horseshoes like rolling thunder, coming from the side of the river, under the bright moonlight, you can clearly see a large swath of fast-moving black clouds coming from the distant hills, seemingly even moonlight Can also cover up
"Sure!" Salon looked at the distant scene and took a breath of air-conditioning. Although he had guessed so, when he really saw it, it felt like something else.
The huge black cloud is obviously the Miao Erdian cavalry who came from the flanks. From the spread of the formation, it is at least more than 20,000. If it is not a temporary reaction, it will be caused by such a huge cavalry group. From the side impact, the entire Samor line of defense will immediately collapse,
At that time, it is not only that Hubor Laban will fall, but the main force in the battle in Kyoto will also be affected. Maybe Samor is about to touch the hand of the throne, and will be slashed by Jun Erdian's southern army. Suddenly, various terrible consequences throbbed in Salon’s mind, thinking that he had just escaped from a sharp blade, Salon couldn’t help feeling a cold behind him,
The black cloud spread to the empty camp along the river, and merged with the Inerdian troops who had already passed the river. The sound of people leaning back and whistling comes with the wind,
"We must win! We must win!" Yin Erdian's triumphant cheers came from the river, the grassland fox Somia smiled, waved to the squadron captains behind him, pointed to the distance and said loudly, "The whole army Cross the river!" Although he did not wipe out the Samor army at the riverside. Despite paying more than a thousand casualties, he crossed the natural dangers of the Ellet River and opened the way to Huber Laban. Somia thought all this was worthwhile, and the Miaoerdian troops began to camp outside the city. , Because the Samor army did not damage the riverside camp when it evacuated, the Swadians naturally stationed inside,
"Be happy! Wait when you cry!" Salong lay on the battlement~IndoMTL.com~ and stared at the cheering Miaoerdian in the distance, "My lord! When shall we do it?" "The adjutant Kateley asked in a low voice, and Saran grinned. "No hurry, our gift hasn't come out yet! Order the whole army to prepare, I believe it will explode soon!"
At the gate of the fortress, a group of rigorous troops lined up neatly. A dozen heavy ballistas lined up at the forefront. The crossbowmen who had just withdrawn from the fortress just afterwards had taken down the heavy infantry crossbows behind them. The soldiers are attentively turning a crossbow arrow from the quiver at the back into the arrow clip at the waist.
This is a change made by Fatty based on the idea of modern weapon belts. In order to solve the inconvenience of drawing arrows from the quiver behind the crossbowmen when charging, and the insufficient number of arrows to carry when sticking to the time, the Military Weapons Yard follows Fatty’s guidance. A small crossbow is equipped for the modified new infantry crossbow,
In this way, before the crossbowmen fight, they can put the arrowheads in the large quiver behind them into the quiver of the crotch in advance, which can achieve the purpose of increasing the number of arrowheads and facilitating the extraction of arrows
After the Samor army withdrew into the fortress, they did not disband on the spot. Instead, they did not leave their arms and crossbows. They heard cheers from outside and no one spoke. The retreat did not mean that the battle was over, because they retreated to the fortress. The first order received was "Kill back tonight!"
