Power and Empire Chapter 1445: In charge of the Northwest (2)
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, a fat man in a hideous armor slowly raised his right hand. "Target 80 meters, volley!" The fat man's voice was as cold as a knife, full of breath, and his face under the black helmet It was cold, and the black pupils were rumored to be shining sharply,
"brush"
15,000 prairie cavalry neatly face the sky, raising the powerful compound bow in their hands, and with a minus sound, tens of thousands of oxen’s bowstrings are released from the calloused fingers of the prairie cavalry.
hu, the bowstring bounced back from the half-moon strongly, and still cast a trembling afterimage. The arrows flew from the archer’s hands and feet to the sky above the head like a meteor, like a waterfall of light rising from the horizon. Draw beautiful arcs in the air, climbing upwards, covering the sky and the sun,
"Hurry up, shield wall!" There was tension in the Blaise army. Under the command of the officer loudly, the soldiers raised their shields in a panic, and used huge tower shields to form a series of strong steel shields. The wall, everyone tried their best to roll their bodies into the area covered by the shield, just like a giant tortoise shell. The junction of the tower shield full of water chestnuts is the dividing line of this giant tortoise shell. Room,
Everyone was waiting, waiting for the arrow clusters above their heads to fall, "Swipe!" A sound like a torrential rain falling to the ground unexpectedly came from the front. Everyone’s breathing came to a halt at this moment. ,
When the sound ceased, the Bressmen found through their shields that the enemy’s dense arrow rain target turned out to be a flat land thirty meters in front of the Bress army. The white tail clusters of countless arrow clusters looked like a patch. The Bose flowers that can’t see the end are all over the ground, trembling slightly in the wind. Although they know that the opposing cavalry is a long-range archer cavalry, the generals of the Blaise Army are still taking a breath of cold air by the sight in front of them.
"What's the matter? Is this a kind of declaration of war?" The old and strong Duke of Brace, Jasguru, frowned, and even felt a trace of anger. The other party's behavior was like despising what the Brace people thought. Howe's defensive army.
"Isn't that great"
The fat man looked at the somewhat dazed Bressman in the distance, his mouth was slightly upturned, and his eyes could naturally see the weakness of this army formation. The opponent’s defense was indeed good, but he gave up the counterattack power and removed everything. For the Falcons, the military formation with all its strength on defense is simply a pediatrics. After understanding the weakness of the opposing military formation, the fat man's hand was raised again, and a creak of wooden wheels came from behind him,
"What is that!"
There was an uncontrollable commotion among the soldiers in the Brace army. They saw countless large-scale equipment shimmering with cold metallic luster being pushed up from behind in rows, a full fifty large crossbows dedicated to legionary battles. The carts lined up under Fatty’s feet, and bundles of giant arrow clusters were unloaded from the horseback of the prairie cavalry behind.
"On the special arrow"
Fatty waved his hand at the ballista rider who was putting the arrow clusters into the crossbow slot behind him.
The arrow cluster made of stainless steel is placed in the entrance slot. A black bucket is tied to the front of the arrow cluster, and an ignition coil about one meter long, spirals up from the tail wing of the arrow cluster, and finally It is connected to the black and dark wooden barrel, like a large rocket firework,
"Squeak" the bowstring of the ballista. The ballista was pulled away by the lever. The crossbow rider was holding a torch to ignite the medicine letter. Standing next to him, the fifty-door ballista was replaced with special arrow clusters. Bresse people together,
This is the trump card that Fatty has been hiding. He hides fifty large ballistas in the high-speed maneuvering of the cavalry cluster. I am afraid that no one would have thought that Fatty, the Northwest Barbarian King, will continue to deploy cavalry to attack in all directions It’s just a blinding method that confuses the opponent’s sight. The weak underbelly of the alliance has forced its internal chaos, fighting each other, losing trust with each other, and then using half talk to contain several powerful powers.
In this way, it is easy to conceal the true target of the Central Battle of the Duchy of Bres,
The strength of the Principality of Bres is the first among the second-tier countries in the northwest. It is second only to Denia, Southend and the former Principality of Normandy in terms of military strength. From a geographical point of view, it is tightly guarded from Nissta. The road to the south,
From the military strategy, the Principality of Bres is a sharp sword hanging over the Nista area. Once a full-scale war breaks out, the Principality of Bres is the bridgehead for the enemy to initiate war on the Normandy region, and if the fat guy wants Ennis The tower area is a springboard, forming a military repressive force on the entire coastal area. The biggest obstacle is also the sturdy folk style and strong combat power of the Principality of Bres.
Just as Brandenburg is the node of strategic initiative between the north and the south, the node connecting the north and south on the northwest coast is the Principality of Bresse! Open it, the Southern Army and Central Army that have already boarded from the southern part of Saland and the southern part of the Nord can no longer need to transit from Normandy, directly from Antoros, which is the hub, to the central northwest without any worries. The Oacha greatly shortened the time for the army from arrival, assembly, and departure, so as to truly achieve full control of the entire northwest coast.
"Target, the enemy in front!" The fat man said coldly, "Continuous launch!"
Fifty ballistas equipped with special arrow clusters made a loud whistling sound at the same time. Dozens of steel arrow clusters plunged deeply into the Bress army with a strong momentum, dozens of crossbow arrows slammed into the hard turtle shell without any suspense.
"Slap" the steel tower shield split on the spot, and the iron flew horizontally. The soldiers behind made a heavy grunt, and the flesh and blood flew like a huge hole in the tortoise shell of the Bress. ,
"Rumble" fire light mixed with black smoke rises to the date of starvation. The huge fire light is like countless masks exploding from the periphery of the Blaise army, and the rising heat waves roll up the surrounding soldiers. Into the whirlpool-like air wave, screaming rippling to the surroundings, the broken limbs and flesh and blood, mixed with fire, blew up in the sky, like raindrops in the air, scattered on the heads of the chaotic Brace people below
rumbling, rumbling... The smoke enveloped most of the army formation, turning it into a world filled with gunpowder.
In the diffuse gunpowder smoke, the fire from the explosion is so vivid in the semi-dark red twilight,
In the smoke of gunpowder, the dense queue of Bress people was overthrown, it was like the thatch of a hurricane, and it seemed to step on a huge vent at the same time, and countless objects flew up. Soaring into the sky,
Then fell in an irregular curve in the eyes of everyone, blasting the remains of the soldiers, the entire shield that was blown up and twisted, the broken spear, and countless dust and sand. It is the giant shield of the brace infantry as a symbol of courage. It is like a leaf flying in the blast of air. It is light and fluttering. It makes various rotating postures in the air, and slams into the wet and soft. In the mud.
"My God, what the **** is this!"
The Bress were completely frightened. The opponent’s first round shot off the outskirts of the Bress formation, known as the iron wall, and at least thousands of the bravest soldiers were injured in the inexplicable explosion. Or if they die, the perimeter of the Bress army has begun to stir. The scared faces of the soldiers were pale, and in a series of hell-like exposures, the steel tower shields were completely defensive.
"Asshole!" The eyes of the Duke of Brace, Jasguru, were bloodshot, and he tried to rush out alone several times, but he was stopped by his subordinates.
This is not a battle, this is a slaughter. Even the toughest Brays fighters are forced to the edge of nervous breakdown by the miserable condition in their eyes. They find that the other party can completely ignore the existence of the shield.
In order to completely annihilate the Bres’s military power, the fat man spared no expense. Since a month ago, he had dispatched the navy to secretly transport a thousand special arrows to Normandy. This battle was actually a god-given opportunity to test this new weapon. Only in actual combat can we know the pros and cons of a weapon,
For example, now, the fat guy complains about the consumption speed of special arrows.
This is not a simple product like crude oil bombs. It can be used by simple processing. The cost is cheap. It is not distressed to use. It can occasionally be sold to other countries to make some extra money. Special arrows are a high-end product. From manufacturing to storage and transportation, extremely stringent conditions are required. The biggest problem is the cost. In the eyes of the fat man, this weapon is burning money. It is still very difficult to promote it to the battle on a large scale.
"It's better to use crude bombs!" The fat man looked at the flames exploding in the distance, and he missed it, and completely ignored the crying father and mother of the Blais army being hit by special arrows. He was embarrassed,
"If you don't want to die, just rush forward!"
The desperate Bress finally gave up their stupid defense~IndoMTL.com~Because of the mass deaths of commanders, the soldiers blindly charged in the direction of the place, continuously shooting rows of terrible arrows. Place,
"Block them!" The fat man looked indifferent, Bezukaya, who was dressed up with the little maid next to him, turned pale, and the cruelty of the war frightened her. Sometimes, killing and being killed is a kind of human Shocking blood
"The original target, shoot!"
Countless prairie cavalry wearing leather top hats have pulled their bowstrings in accordance with the command. The dense clusters of white arrows formed just now, like a huge target small, are eye-catching reminders of the prairie cavalry.
Those who enter this area, die! Countless clusters of arrows overwhelmed the sky again with the bowstrings, obscuring the color of the sky, falling like a metal rain of death like a waterfall. The Blaise infantry who had just stepped into the white area was like being hit by an invisible big hand from the front. , Leaning back, countless sharp spiked arrows pierced into their bodies from an oblique angle, a wailing, human blood stained the earth,
In front of the rapid fire of the prairie cavalry, the Brees soldiers who had lost the protection of the army fell in a series of arrows. Even if a hundred people exchanged each other's life, their fallen bodies piled up in the white area. , Many of the corpses are staring at enemies who are 100 meters away.
In their sorrowful sight, the other party is completely calm and comfortable, and they are calling them next to each other, (to be continued) [This text is provided by the Qihang Update Team@偶氏尊尊] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
