Power and Empire Chapter 448: Vicia’s counterattack (10)
448 Vicky’s counterattack (ten)
The Hunter Squad Captain Woodruth held up his hunting bow, and opened his two tightly pinched fingers with ease, his eyes fixed on a sudden figure in front of him
With a strong vibration, a white line pierced deeply into the throat of an advancing Swadian soldier, and red blood rushed out of the soldier’s throat, drawing a red water line in the air
Seeing his arrow hit the target accurately, Woodruth looked excited and shouted, "Go to **** Swadian"
At more than 40 meters in front of him, the heavy figures of the Swadians are like unkillable ghosts, constantly pouring out from behind, densely packed helmets and shields shining coldly in the sun,
As the guard fell, a Swadian officer with a red ribbon on his head appeared from the second row of the queue,
On both sides of him, hundreds of Swadian infantry with shields surrounded him. The heavy three-meter spear and heavy armor made them look awkward in the pile of corpses. This is the front. The soldiers who fell in the charge, the intensive shooting made the Swadian soldiers everywhere.
"Come on, this is a big fish." Looking at the red cherry blossoms in the distance, Woodruth's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tongue licked his dry lips excitedly.
Several hours of fierce fighting made Woodroth feel that his body didn’t seem to belong to him anymore, and his bowed arm was so painful, the feeling seemed to come from his bones, but his hands were still habitual. The arrow basket stretched out behind,
"Shooting him I made a lot of money this time"
The pulsating red wing not far away made his eyes bright, and he was able to wear a colored red wing helmet, which proved that the Swadian officer in front of him was at least a banner commander.
Just as Woodruth was excited, his hand suddenly stopped, and the empty quiver cruelly showed that the last shot was the last one shot.
"Damn, there are no arrows." Woodruth had to put down the trembling hunting bow in his hand, his voice clearly unwilling,
He cursed and put down his hunting bow while drew his beloved hunting knife from his waist.
By his side, there are many people who are in the same situation as him. Mountain hunters usually only bring 2 barrels of arrowheads, about 50, and the fierce battle for several hours has already allowed most archers to shoot their arrowheads into the air.
Without the arrowheads, they can only use hunting knives to fight them and form their own unique formations. Every 10 groups are like a circle that has not yet merged. This is the tactic used by southern hunters to hunt beasts.
"Preparing to fight", squadron leader Fordley shouted with obvious southern emphasis, and Woodruth clenched his hunting knife firmly with his fingers,
In front of him, the Swadian army was only ten meters away from the hunters in the first row. Many hunters raised their hunting knives in their hands.
The sound of "Sasha"'s footsteps is getting closer, the bright red blood has stained the hard soil under the feet of the two armies into mud, and the sound of the footsteps is strangely low
"Huhu" The heavy breathing of the Swadian infantry was faintly heard. The solemn murderous intent and steady and tidy pace all showed that these soldiers are the same as the previous batch, and they are all real soldiers.
No one can rush forward with thousands of arrows,
That requires not only courage, but also a contest of will. It is easy for one person to charge, but if a team can follow the charge fearlessly, then it cannot be done with a word of encouragement. ,
When the hunters repelled the attack in front of them for the third time, they already knew that these Swadian soldiers in front of them were different from the Swadian soldiers they had encountered before.
Only elites who ignore life and death can face the arrowheads that are like locusts, and still form a formation without hurries.
Indeed not afraid of death is sometimes synonymous with crazy
The army in front of me illustrates this point well. No matter how many times it has been defeated, no matter how many of its companions fall, even if there is only one person rushing through the rain of arrows, they will still shout and hold their spears. Rush over,
This has to let the hunters who are opponents also give these Swadians a thumbs up in their hearts,
"Come on, let me send you on the road." Woodruth looked at the heavy spear that hit him, and the hunting knife in his hand struck a cold light. "Puff" Woodruth and a Swadian soldier fell at the same time. Next, Woodruth’s hunting knife smashed the armor of a Swadian soldier, but another spear pierced Woodruth’s ribs from the side
The "bump" formation of the Swadians collided with the hunters. The spears and hunting knives collided with each other and the corpses quickly fell on both sides,
The Swadian army and the Vijaya army have been fighting for nearly 3 hours at the junction of the small hills here. This is the center of the entire battle.
The terrain is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside. The terrain is flat and narrow. The spreading hills form an upturned arc here, which is the most favorable position for the deployment of Swadian forces in the entire lot
The experienced Swadian Commander Marquis Willilai saw this at first sight.
After the first major collision between the two sides and the defeat, they quickly adjusted the tactics of the central breakthrough and changed it to the tactics of focusing the superior forces on the flanks and consciously investing the follow-up forces here.
Nearly half of the Swadian soldiers lined up here, and the dense spears and shields formed a wide and thick line of attack in front of the Vikya people
This has also led to more and more soldiers in the Vijaya army,
This flat land of no more than 30 meters has become a meat grinder that devours the flesh and blood of the two armies.
Crolitsart has invested 4 Vikia hunter squadrons here, most of them are experienced hunters from the southern mountains,
Although their recurve compound hunting bows are not as strong as the longbows, they have a far faster shooting speed at close range than the longbows. They are used against heavy armored Swadian heavy infantry. Big killer
The sharp Mitsubishi iron arrows can easily tear apart heavy infantry armor within 20 meters. In the intensive shooting, from time to time Swadian infantry in chain armor screamed and fell, but the Swadian Rock Legion Morale is still high
With the extension of time between the two armies, the mountain hunters found that there were more and more Swadians in front of them, and the powerful arrows shot over one piece, and immediately more Swadians would come in.
From time to time, there are Swadian infantry queues holding shields and spears rushing to the front row of shooters. Mountain hunters' thin light weapons have suffered a lot in close combat
The sharp hunting knife can split the Swadian people’s armor, but it cannot pose a fatal threat to the enemy. Many Swadian soldiers still hiss even after a few stabs in the hunter group. Shouting and waving weapons to disrupt the nearby formation,
The corpse kept falling, and the heavy Swadian infantry spear collided with the hunting knife of the mountain hunter,
There are nearly half-human corpse walls piled up on both sides. Thousands of corpses are piled up on such a wide and recessed flat, nearly 60 meters long. It is shocking to see.
The Swadian Spearmen who "killed" the number and equipment dominated finally rushed out from the front. As the number of people decreased, the gap in the entire front was being torn apart by the Swadians.
"All the Legion Guards will come to me. I can't let the Swadians rush over by any means." Crolitsat shouted to the 200 Vicky Cavalry behind him, dignified and drew out his sharp saber.
The battle before him has reached the most critical time. He just sent the last 1,000 hunters to the right line, but the rapid collapse of the left line left him no choice.
If the gap in the depression on the left cannot be filled, a large influx of Swadian troops will be able to encircle the Vijaya Army from the left and rear of the Mountain Legion. (

At that time, it will not be a case of the collapse of the defense line. In this stretch of hilly land, the collapsed army will directly smash the longbowmen behind. I am afraid that the entire legion will not be able to return alive by more than one tenth.
"Chong" Crolithat brandished his saber, with the 200 behind him, the cavalry of guards stirred into the Swadian soldiers who had just been killed like a hurricane,
The light of the sword flashed, and the Swadian infantry without cavalry protection fell. The heavy horses under the guards’ hips squeezed hundreds of Swadians into pieces
"What's going on", the Marquis of Willy Lay, who was watching the battlefield situation, quickly noticed the chaos of the left-wing attack,
Although the Swadian regular army has excellent combat power, it is a long-fighting division after all. The queue was defeated, and it was defeated after assembly. It is gathering.
Most soldiers were not only physically exhausted, but mentally persisted with their steel-like will. Facing the Vicky Cavalry who was killed suddenly, there was a lot of chaos. First, the striker who had just breached was Driven out, then countless horseshoes and knives fell on his head
"God", the Swadian soldier who just saw a glimmer of victory. Suddenly, I was beaten by the Viking Cavalry with the light of the sword~ IndoMTL.com~ Tens of thousands of people on the left-wing attack line were in chaos,
Unorganized soldiers were smashed by the cried father and mother of the Vicky Cavalry who rushed past. The disintegrated soldiers were like snowballs, and the infantry assembled in the back were in a panic.
"Vickia Guards Cavalry" Willila looked at the chaos in the distance, his eyebrows frowned, and from his direction, he could see a group of black armored Vicky Cavalry. I am running rampant in my own soldier formation, and from time to time, soldiers are chopped over by war horses and swords on the ground.
Although the number of Vickia cavalry is not large, they are extremely brave. Facing the spears stabbed in all directions, many cavalry jumped off their horses and used their bodies to clear the way for the cavalry behind. This is definitely a real elite cavalry. , The name of the Cavalry Guards of Vicia, and Willila has also heard of it
"What a bunch of idiots" Marquis Willila looked at the left wing he had hoped for, and was completely disrupted by a team of cavalry with less than 200 men. He couldn't help but angrily commanded a knight captain next to him
"Arikara, you lead my team of knights to the left. At all costs, we must eliminate the Cavaliers' guards"
"
