If this kind of stalemate continues, it will be detrimental to the Clay clan, because the darkness will pass sooner or later. Without the protection of the night, the Clay clan who attacked tonight will expose their shortcomings of insufficient strength. At that time, the Imperial Expeditionary Army can make a big move. Although their riding skills are not as good as their own, the 20,000 or 30,000 they brought are still enough to offset the mobility of the Clay cavalry. Then the raid will become a war of attrition, and it will be a little careless. It will be wiped out.
The Clay commander Samil looked up at the still gloomy sky, and issued the fourth order tonight. The 600o Clay fighters were divided into two teams, and they went to both sides of the expeditionary camp. After the past, they kept a distance of about 3oo meters from the expeditionary camp, and then controlled the horses to run slowly.
When all the fighters entered the attack range, these Clay fighters, who had lived on horseback since they were young, took out short bows and started pouring feather arrows toward the camp of the expeditionary army. Shooting on the back of a Mercedes Benz, due to the bumps, the accuracy of the head is naturally much worse. It's just that 3ooo people shoot together and shoot at a fixed target, which is not a big problem.
The chaotic and crisp sound of horseshoes appeared particularly clear in the silent night. The Clay fighters who were ordered to shoot around the Imperial Expeditionary Camp under the leadership of their respective captains methodically moved towards the target 3oo meters away. Long and sharp arrows flew to the target mercilessly, penetrating everything they can penetrate.
I don’t know who shot the feather arrow that happened to hit the temporary stables of the Imperial Expeditionary Army. The feather arrow went directly into the head of a war horse, and the war horse immediately screamed and fell down. On the ground. Then another feather arrow pierced the tent and shot into the stable, but this time it was just scratched from the ear of another war horse, and a long blood mark was opened on the head of this war horse.
The horse was shocked and painful, of course it would instinctively struggle hard, and soon broke the rein that was tied to it. After losing the restraint, the injured horse jumped wildly, rushed out of the temporary stable, and brought down most of the tent at the same time, and the shocking horse that ran out caused a little chaos in the camp of the expeditionary army.
The few Clay fighters who caused this result are trying to approach the camp of the Imperial Expeditionary Army with their horses in order to obtain better results, but their leader yelled to order them to keep the original state and move forward. , Because the appearance of the Imperial Expeditionary Force is too abnormal, even if a war horse is frightened and scurrying around in the camp, it is quickly beheaded, and the entire camp still remains calm.
The Clay fighters galloping outside the expeditionary camp continued to run and shoot at the same pace, but only ten minutes later, they met on the east side of the expeditionary camp. In order to bend their bows and shoot arrows, the Clay warriors use a loose formation. There is a distance of 4 to 5 meters between each warrior. The distance is so wide that another Clay warrior can ride through it on horseback. The leaders of the two teams of Clay warriors had no intention of turning around or forming the team. A series of whistles were heard directly from their mouths, and they took their men to greet the companions on the opposite side. Obviously they were going directly from the opposite team. Go through neutral.
Even in the daytime when the line of sight is good, this kind of crossing is not easy, not to mention it is dark and late at night, but these Clay warriors have grown up on horseback since they were young. For them, it is easy, because every Clay warrior is extremely relaxed.
The two captains of this team are naturally familiar with each other. They ran at the forefront of the team, and at the same time they drew their scimitars, and began to stagger through the two opposing teams, and their companions. As they passed by, the two captains slammed their opponent's weapons with the backs of their scimitars to show their respect.
The vibrato produced by the scimitars after they strike each other is unusually clear at night, even the crisp sound of horseshoes can’t cover its propagation. Unexpectedly, after the crisp percussive sound, there is a band in the sky. With a little suppressed whistling sound. The two captains who were commanding their subordinates with whistles were suddenly shocked. Of course, they understood what this whistling sound meant, so the two captains no longer had the complacency they had before, and instead shouted with all their strength: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Disperse immediately! Disperse immediately!"
When the two captains yelled, the two teams of Clay fighters with a total of 6ooo people overlapped, and the original loose formation became a tight formation at this moment. After hearing the captain’s order and After the slightly suppressed whistling sound from the sky, these fighters immediately began to evade, but found that there was not much space around for them to move around.
"Woo!" A large black cloud whizzed and fell from right in front of the Clay warriors. All the Clay warriors who saw this scene were all gray-faced. They both fell to the ground when they fell on their companions, and some waved the scimitars in their hands in despair, instinctively reacting.
When this fast-flying "black cloud" turned into "pouring rain" and poured on these Clay fighters head on, the Clay fighters finally saw clearly the cause of the "black cloud" It is composed of countless thick and short crossbow arrows. This kind of arrow shot with a hand crossbow does not have a long range, but its penetrating power is very strong. It can even penetrate the mail at a close range of one or two hundred meters, not to mention the range of more than 3oo meters. Passing through those Clay warriors who had almost no leather armor and the bodies of their hip horses.
"Ah!" The screams of screams one after another on the silent prairie, each crossbow arrow relentlessly penetrated the body of the Clay warrior and his hip horse and continued to fly, if they were flying There are still people on the board, and they continue to penetrate the past, and finally stick deeply into the ground diagonally.
"Huh!" Another black cloud galloped in, and another heavy rain poured down. The archers of the Imperial Expeditionary Army who have been patient finally waited for the opportunity to vent their anger, under the command of the archer commander Thomas , 5ooo crossbow archer repeatedly pulled the mechanism of the crossbow, pouring a total of 20,000 crossbow arrows onto the heads of the Clay fighters and in the west of the expeditionary camp, the archer commanded Thomas after Colin moved, He immediately commanded his longbow archers to shoot at the Clay Clan who was still shooting fire arrows outside the camp. Because the fighters of the Clay clan shoot fire arrows, their range is only 8oo meters at most, and Thomas’s men are the best archers in the capital. The long bows in their hands are enough to shoot a distance of more than 100 meters. The difference in range is enough to determine the outcome of a battle.
