Power and Empire Chapter 1266: Leakage
"Young patriarch, the main coalition forces have reached the Bion River Defense Line" report returned by scouts made everyone nervous. The sharp hunting knife was pulled out by the cavalry, Su Ke Bai Ling unexpectedly calmed down , She just nodded to the scout who reported it, indicating that she knew it, instead of giving an attack order immediately
"Young patriarch, give an order, let's kill all these dogs!" some cavalry cavalry shouted uncontrollably
" Stay calm, we only have one chance!" Su Kebailing turned his pretty face and said sternly, "Don’t forget, the heavy shield shooter of the punk tribe was also dispatched this time, even if we have the swift Speed, once you encounter a heavy shield shooter, there is only one dead end!"
The flower of Sukhbailing calms down the cavalry. The so-called heavy shield shooter is a characteristic unit of the former Salander dynasty. He wears heavy armor and carries a large shield. The weapon is mainly made of long-range shots. For bows and blunt melee knives, few people equip their archers like this,
Therefore, the movement of these heavy shield shooters is not to walk, but to transport equipment in a carriage, or simply ride a horse. After reaching the destination, they dismount and stand and shoot, which is a bit of a later French dragoon.
These heavy shield shooters, who have abandoned their mobility and greatly strengthened their defenses, are natural enemies of Mamunuk and assault cavalry equipped with light armor. Even Mamunuk, who considers himself the most brave, would never choose Go to fight with a team of heavy-shield shooters, because of the defensive power of heavy-shield shooters, they are almost completely immune to the lances of the Mamunuk cavalry.
And after they stand in a square formation, it is a solid human-shaped barrier. They can hardly meet an opponent on the battlefield. They can shoot from a long distance or fight in close combat. If they are transported to an early Salander chariot , Is a group of killing machines, of course this is only idealized by the Salanders,
In actual combat, the combat power of heavy shield shooters will be affected by a series of factors such as climate, terrain, logistics supplies, etc., and training is not easy. The conditions for selecting soldiers are also extremely high. Not everyone can wear nearly 100 Jin’s armor can also move and fight on the battlefield. Under normal circumstances, a strong man of more than 1.8 meters is required. Even so, the main role of the heavy shield archer is to weaken the threat of the enemy’s cavalry. There has never been a large-scale cavalry unit in the Rand region. Therefore, in the late Saland dynasty, the heavy shield shooter has been cancelled in the Saland dynasty regular army.
is not only because this type of unit is not very practical and expensive, but also because most of the Mamunuk knights who consider themselves glorious believe that equipping a humble archer is more luxurious than Mamunuk. This kind of put the cart before the horse, and in the isolated Black Forest, this early existence of heavy arms is still present in the punk tribe, which was originally an infantry general. Although the number is small, it is enough to make other tribes afraid to speak up. After all, the abnormal defense and phalanx advancement capabilities of heavy-shield archers are irresistible to most of the Black Forest peasants whose armor cannot be popularized
For the Sukh assault cavalry, the whereabouts of these heavy shield shooters is also the thing that worries Su Kebai the most. According to her intelligence, this time the punk clan is dispatched, the least dispatched There are more than 500 heavy shield shooters, and these units that can smash the **** of the Sukh cavalry, their whereabouts are still a mystery, it is like a sharp BYD sword hanging on the head of the Sukh.
Out of prudence, Su Kebailing decided to take a look in person. With slender and big legs wearing a beautiful patterned long skirt and armor, he gently urged the war horse under the crotch to the edge of the forest.
The forest where Sukhbailing’s three thousand cavalry is hiding is located on a high **** outside the Bridge Oasis. You can see the sights below. The entrance to the big oasis 30 miles away from Umutok is like A huge green carpet extends from the outside to the distance, revealing dense lakes of large and small, next to a river that traverses from the periphery of the entrance, that is, the Bianhe that the coalition forces arrived at is clear and attractive. , Under the shining of the sun, exuding a pearl-like luster, the white waterbirds that rise and fall from time to time linger in the woods and lakes. If you have not seen it with your own eyes, no one will believe that in this ravine-ridden wilderness In the depths, there will be such a beautiful place, and now it’s fighting and shaking the sky, the shouts of the two armies one after another
The sun shone, and the horseshoe stopped, and the sight of the river beach below reflected her unusually beautiful eyelids, although she was mentally prepared,
But the sight in the distance still made her two beautiful eyebrows twisted together. She hadn’t seen an army of tens of thousands of people, but if you spread 10,000 people on a river beach less than a hundred meters long Open, the feeling of raining and overwhelming human heads is enough to impact anyone’s retina,
On the river beach where the coalition forces gather, the coalition forces of 11,000 people are scattered and divided into several pieces and continue to attack the other side of the river.
On the opposite side of the defense line along the river, you can vaguely see the archer wearing Sukh armor, standing densely on the wooden post tower with a wide view, struggling to open the bowstring, and quickly let go before it is full. Without even aiming, I let go of the bowstring and shoot towards the river, because there are too many enemies on the river,
It is the winter dry season. The soldiers of the coalition army do not even need to swim, and they just roll up their pants and come in the water.
The dense pile of people wriggled forward like a swarm of ants hugging each other. The flow of people almost completely blocked the flow of the river. There were countless towering spears cold, not to mention that the defenders who were under the frontal pressure were just resting. Sukhba Ling, who is 2 kilometers away, also feels distressed.
The dense clusters of arrows staggered and shot across the river, just like countless points of light suddenly shot out,
The powerful cross firing line forms a death line at the entrance of the river. The enemy shot into the body can be seen constantly. After shaking for a few times, they are washed away by the dangling river, but there are too many people crossing the river. Now, on the beach where tens of thousands of people are crowded together,
The leaders of the tribe are gathering their people in a panic, some of them were broken up in front of the team, and pushed up again, like a wave, constantly impacting the already small Sukh defense line
The battle is like fire, Su Ke Bai Ling's hands are clenched together, this battle is too miserable, the world is full of terrible shocking waves, dense like raindrops of boulders and arrows, like waves crashing under the crowd On the head of the enemy, it turned into a scary red splash, and the sound of "pupupupu" was the waves of flesh and blood and screams in the killing,
Relying on the absolute advantage of the number of people, the coalition forces do not care about casualties and sacrifices. They advance step by step until they are pressed under the defense line. The beautiful Bianhe River, amidst countless thumping sounds, the river gradually becomes shallow. , But it is scarlet.
Su Ke Bai Ling’s pretty face couldn’t bear to watch, raised his head to look at the sun above his head
"Am I really wrong?" Su Kebailing couldn't help but ask in a low voice. She insisted on the decision to take the initiative this time, but she did not expect that the first contact would cause an explosion. She didn’t think about this level of **** battle. She defended the walls of Umu Tuo just like last time to offset the advantage of the coalition forces. But this time, unlike the previous invasion of the Sky Cult, the goal of the Sky Cultists is very clear. It is to take the so-called holy land "Umutuo" in their mouths and have no interest in the nearby oasis, and the coalition forces that are advancing this time are different. On the other hand, all other areas of the Umutuo Oasis will be divided up.
Only by keeping the coalition forces out of the Oasis, will the Sukh people have the capital to survive,
"Young patriarch, the enemy seems to be all over it. The frontal pressure of our army is too great. Once the Bianhe defensive line is breached, I will have to carry out the final siege of the Oasis!" The Sukh general of the year rode forward and urged beside her.
"Now that the enemy's formation has dispersed, it is a good time for our army to attack, and it will definitely win a big victory!"
"No, wait a while! Until now, I haven’t found a punk shield warrior in it." Su Kebailing took a deep breath and said very relaxedly, she held it The five fingers of the riding whip were already white because of excessive tension. The wind across the forest blew the ribbon around his head, and the long red hair like a waterfall fell down his shoulders.
" It should be because it was slow to move, so I didn’t fall behind! "The Sukh general said indifferently." On such a narrow beach, once the flanks collapse, it will inevitably lead to the whole army. A big defeat, even the heavy shield warrior of the punk tribe at that time could not be used at all!"
" What you said ~IndoMTL.com~ seems to make some sense!"
Sukhbailing's heart is a little shaken. The Bian River is a guard river outside the Bridge Oasis. It is only less than 2,000 meters away from the forest location where the cavalry is currently ambushing, which is the entire Umutuo Oasis. At the entrance, once the coalition forces break through, Wumutuo City will directly face the front of the coalition forces.
According to the deployment, 1,500 Sukh outposts will meet the coalition forces there, and the 3,000 cavalrymen led by Sukh Bailing will also take advantage of the scattered formations and the weakness of the multi-person command when the coalition forces cross the river to launch a rush from the flanks. , To give the coalition a fatal blow,
Even if the large number of coalition forces cannot be completely defeated, at least the existing alliance can be shaken. As long as the popularity of the people is floating, it will inevitably cause some tribes to withdraw early, thereby dividing the strength of the coalition forces and achieving the goal of gradual weakening.
But the most feared opponent of the assault cavalry, the punk clan heavy shield archer is still inactive, which also makes Sukhbailing hesitate
On the river beach below, the gaze of Duane Newcastle, Chief Durres, who was riding on a horse, caught a flashing black spot in the air, and then landed on the dense forest on the side high slope, the corner of his mouth Slightly whispered his voice in a low voice
" is really stupid, doesn’t this woman know that this flat-haired beast is always hovering in one place, does it speak for itself? You are monitoring the coalition forces, why isn’t Punk Pasteur relying on this beast? Come to find your whereabouts" (to be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my greatest motivation. )
