Power and Empire Chapter 1266: Leakage
"The young patriarch, the main coalition forces have reached the Bion River defense line" report returned by the scouts made everyone nervous. The sharp hunting knife was pulled out by the cavalry, and Su Kebailing unexpectedly calmed down. , She just nodded to the returning scout, saying that she knew it, instead of giving an attack order immediately. "Young patriarch, give an order, let's kill all these dogs!" Some cavalry screamed uncontrollably. "Remain calm, we only have one chance!" Su Kebailing turned his pretty face and said sternly, "Don't forget, the heavy shield of the punk clan was also dispatched this time, even if we have a fast speed. , Once you encounter a heavy shield, there is only one dead end!"..
The flower of Su Ke Bai Ling calmed down the cavalry. The so-called heavy shield shè hand was a special sè arm of the former Salander dynasty. It was wearing heavy armor and carrying a large shield. The weapon was mainly from far away. The shè strong bow and the blunt melee knife, few people equip their shè hand like this,
So the movement of these heavy shields is not to walk, but to use a carriage to transport equipment, or simply to ride a horse. After reaching the destination, dismount and stand and strike, which is a bit of the meaning of later French dragoons.
These heavy shields, which 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, will never I chose to fight with a team of heavy-shield hands, because the defensive power of heavy-shield hands is almost completely immune to the lances of the Mamunuk cavalry.
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 be hit remotely or fight in close combat. If they are transported to an early Salander chariot Above is a group of killing machines, of course this is only idealized by the Salanders. ..
In actual combat, the combat power of heavy shields will be affected by a series of factors such as climate, terrain, logistics supplies, etc., and training is not easy, and the conditions for selecting soldiers are also extremely high. Not everyone can wear nearly A hundred kilograms of armor can still move and fight on the battlefield. Under normal circumstances, you need a strong man of more than 1.8 meters. And even so, the main role of the heavy shield archer was to weaken the threat of the enemy cavalry. There was never a large-scale cavalry force in the Salander area. Therefore, in the later period of the Salander dynasty, the heavy shield shè hand was already used. Canceled in the regular army of the Salander Dynasty,
Not only because this type of unit is not very practical and expensive, but also because most Mamunuk knights who consider themselves honorable believe it. Equipping the humble shè hand is more luxurious than Mamunuk. It is completely turning the cart before the horse, and in the isolated Black Forest, this early existence of heavy arms. There are still punk tribes who were born as infantry generals. Although the number is small, it is enough to make other tribes dare not talk about confrontation. After all, the heavy shield archers have abnormal defense and phalanx advancing capabilities. For most of the Black Forest peasant army, which cannot even use armor, it is an irresistible existence
For the Sukh assault cavalry, the whereabouts of these heavy shields. The same is also the thing that worries Su Kebai the most. According to her intelligence, this time the punk clan was dispatched, at least 500 heavy shield shè hands were dispatched, and these were able to beat the **** of the Sukh cavalry. The army’s whereabouts are still a mystery, which is like a sharp BYD sword hanging on the head of the Sukh clan
Out of prudence, Su Kebailing decided to take a look in person. With slender thighs wearing beautiful patterned long skirt armor, he gently urged the 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 Umutuo is like A huge green carpet extends from the outside to the distance, revealing dense lakes large and small, next to a river that crosses the periphery of the entrance, that is, the Bianhe River that the coalition forces arrived at is clear and attractive. Under the shining of the sun, exuding a pearl-like luster, white waterfowls that rise and fall from time to time linger in the woods and lakes. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed 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
When the sun shone, the horseshoe stopped, and the sight of the river beach below reflected her unusually beautiful eyelids, although she was psychologically 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 10,000 people were spread on a river beach that was 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 into several pieces and continue to attack the other side of the river.
On the opposite side of the defensive line along the river, you can vaguely see shè hands wearing Sukh armor, standing densely on the wooden post tower with a wide view, struggling to pull the bowstring, and quickly let go before it is full. , Without even aiming, let go of the bowstring and face the river, because there are too many enemies on the river,
It is the winter season of dry water. The soldiers of the coalition army do not even need to swim, 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. The countless towering spears were cold, not to mention the defenders who were under the frontal pressure. Sukhba Ling, who is 2 kilometers away, also feels distressed.
The dense clusters of arrows staggered across the river, like countless light spots bursting out suddenly,
Strong cross-strike lines, forming a death line at the entrance along the river, you can constantly see the enemies who are in the body. After shaking for a few times, they are washed away by the turbulent 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 were gathering their people in a panic. Some of them were broken up in front of the group and pushed up again, like a wave of chao, constantly attacking 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 rain of boulders and arrows, like waves slapped and crowded below 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 superiority of the number of people, the coalition forces did not care about casualties and sacrifices, so they advanced step by step until they were pressed under the line of defense. The beautiful Bion River, amidst countless thumping sounds, the water gradually became shallow. , But it is scarlet.
Su Kebailing’s pretty face couldn’t bear to watch, raised her head to look at the sun above her head, "Am I really wrong?" Su Kebailing couldn’t help but ask in a low voice. It was her that decided to take the initiative this time. She persisted, but she did not expect that such a **** battle would erupt upon contact. She did not think about it. She defended the strong walls of Umu Tuo as last time to offset the advantage of the coalition forces. But this This time is different from the previous invasion of the Sky Cult. The goal of the Sky Cultists is very clear, that is, to take down the so-called holy land "Umu Tuo" in their mouths. They have no interest in the nearby oasis. The coalition forces that are advancing this time are different, such as the Sukhs. According to Shoujian City, Wumutuo cannot be released. On the one hand, the coalition forces will continue to surround Wumutuo, and on the other hand, they will carve up all other areas of the Wumutuo Oasis.
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 Biang River defense line is breached, I will have to carry out the final siege of the Umutuo Oasis!" The Nian Sukh general 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 we will surely win a big victory!" Wait a while! Until now, I haven’t found a punk shield warrior inside." Su Ke Bai Ling took a deep breath and said very relaxedly. She was holding the five fingers of the riding whip. He was clasped white because of excessive tension, and the wind across the forest blew the ribbon around his head, and the long red hair that was like a waterfall fell down his shoulders. "It should be because of the slow movement and not to the back. Right! "The Sukh general said a little disapprovingly." On such a narrow river beach, once the flanks collapsed, it would inevitably lead to a great collapse of the entire army. Even the heavy shield fighters of the punk tribe would have It can't play the role of an application at all!" "What you said seems to make some sense!"
Suke Bailing's heart is a little shaken~IndoMTL.com~ The Bianhe River is a guard river outside the Bridge Oasis. It is only less than 2000 meters away from the forest location where the cavalry is currently ambushing. There is the entire ebony wood. Once the entrance of Tuo Da Oasis is broken by the coalition forces, Umu Tuo City will directly face the front of the coalition forces.
According to the deployment, 1,500 Sukh outposts will be there to meet the coalition forces, 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 hearts of the people are 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 hesitant
On the river beach below, the gaze of Durres Patriarch Duane Newcastle riding 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 and whispered, "It's really stupid. Doesn't this woman know that this flat-haired beast is hovering in one place, is it very telling in itself? You are monitoring the coalition forces, why isn't Punk Pasteur here? Rely on this beast to find your whereabouts" (to be continued.)
