Power and Empire Chapter 300: Iron Wall (Part 2)
Sincerely thank you Shanwu! Huimi voted, Tianliang voted, but soon something shocked everyone. Except for a few infantrymen who were hit at the beginning. The other infantrymen who were knocked down to the ground started to get up. It seemed as simple as rolling on the ground just now.
"Damn! It won't be a shield!" Caesar Sauron's eyes straightened on the slope, although he knew that heavy infantry had a powerful tactic called a shield. But I have never seen it in China, and I did not expect to meet it in Miaoerdian, a powerful country on the mainland. It is rumored that this kind of shield tactics requires a high degree of tacit understanding. Generally, it will take at least one year of running-in. Part of the impact, the small casualties of the infantry formation in front of the catapult just now, seems to have proved this.
"Haha! Those catapult riders must be dumbfounded." The Samor crossbow riders were very happy that the catapult was deflated. Their colleagues are enemies. They are the same everywhere. The excellent performance of today's catapult riders feel very much. No face, now the crossbowmen are gearing up to show what is absolutely powerful in front of the trebuchet.
Seeing the infantry formation entering range, the Mighty Ballista roared again. Hundreds of powerful steel heavy-duty crossbow arrows crossed the sky, hitting the slowly advancing infantry formation, and the shield was shot through. The soldiers in the back were hit and flew, but this did not shake the entire army formation. Often a shield was shot through, but it was very likely to be blocked by the second and third layers of shields. The only damage that could be caused was the first and second rows in front. /
"Damn it!" This time even the crossbow riders scolded it. Isn't this a shield wall? "Woo" Caesar Sauron looked at the Miaoerdian infantry phalanx, his eyebrows frowned,
"Order the trebuchet! Be sure to stop the infantry!" Caesar Sauron commanded with a serious face. After Chemi is the front end of the **** line of defense, the first row is full of crossbowmen, unable to compete with the defensive heavy infantry at all. If such a group of heavy infantry were to be approached, it would definitely be a disaster.
"Add two more reels!" Dylan Cousseson, who was ordered, asked the trebuchet hand to increase the number of winches. And like Caesar Sauron, another five hundred people came. Divide into three teams to take turns, "huh!" The howling sling fell like raindrops, and blood marks were drawn in the Miaoerdian infantry queue. The broken corpses and twisted shields made the Miaoerdian heavy infantry secretly cold.
Seeing that the phalanx of infantry completely restrained the Vickiya's bed crossbow, Tarmezi looked happy, and said to Hutu'ema with a proud face, "The Fifth Knights are worthy of the iron wall of the kingdom. I must recommend the Fifth Knights to the Great King to be included in the regular Knights! To fill the vacancy of Appleton's Sixth Army!"
"Okay, I hope Captain Tarmezi will not forget today's promise!" Hutu Emma triumphantly smiled from ear to ear, and Tarmezi's promise touched his heart. , Tarmezi is the top ten knights of the kingdom. Its status is extraordinary. It is even more prestigious in the north of the kingdom. If there is such a prestigious military general who is willing to personally recommend him, the day when the Fifth Knights is rectified will not Far.
"I don't know about Captain Emma, can you order an assault with only one step?" Tarmezi looked at Hutu Emma, who had been stunned by him, and made a request while the iron was hot. "There are four meters left for us." The range of the hurricane cavalry, if Captain Emma can order an infantry assault, my cavalry can launch an assault!"
"Hutuemma's face that was still excited just now suddenly darkened. A wry smile appeared in his mouth, "Don't be afraid to tell the adults. My infantry wears two layers of armor. If you move slowly and make a living, you can’t do assault operations. They can’t run even if they want to run. They usually stand on the city wall. This field battle is already very rare."
"It's really an iron wall!" Tarmezi showed a surprised expression on his face. I really didn't expect Hutu Emma to spend such a capital, and put a layer of lock armor under a set of heavy armor. That defensive power Not inferior to a heavy-armed knight, no wonder that even the catapults can't use them.
"Woo" in the Miao Erdian army formation, the melodious trombone sounded, and the stagnant Miao Erdian riding ping-pong formation began to move, and the infantry slashing formation approached the side tacitly, and the shield in his hand rose. The thick shield wall reveals a safe passage for the cavalry behind,
The sound of "Tata" horse hooves, a group of hundreds of light cavalry rushed out with cloth bags, and then two groups of 1,000 archers from the left and right flanks, seeming to want to enclose the **** defense line Saw the Miao Erdian archers encircled. Caesar Sauron couldn't help but puzzled. For the sake of safety, Caesar Sauron ordered the crossbowmen to take the initiative to attack.
"The crossbow is in front!" At the fence of the Samor army, a shout of military orders sounded, and rows of crossbowmen rushed out from the gate of the fence. A crossbow array was placed fifty meters in front of the fence, and the crossbowman’s cold eyes moved with the cavalry
In the distance, the Inerdian Cavalry is quickly approaching the archers on the small sides of the archers have begun to draw their bows. The Miaoerdian compound bow's range is down to the height of the horse. It can be reached in ten seconds at most,
Talmezi had already known from Hu Xuetu's lock that was surviving, that the Vijaya army was equipped with powerful strange bows, with a range slightly larger than Miaoerdian's powerful compound bows, but the high movement of the archers was enough to make up for this weak point. Not enough
Talmezi believed that as long as he rushed into the field range. It is the world of hurricane archers under his command. High-mobility group shooting can easily defeat any infantry group that tries to resist.
However, he was wrong this time. The archers rushed into the range of the stride, and a dark cloud suddenly rose on the opposite slope.
"Not good! Is it possible that the Vikings are crazy" Tarmezi's face changed slightly~IndoMTL.com~This dark cloud is obviously the state of arrow shooting
The dense arrowheads are like locusts rising from the horizon, and the black arrowheads cover the entire sky. The intensive shooting of five thousand strong crossbows, like a sudden storm, the archer group on the left was immediately covered
The "his" galloping horses screamed, like leaves in a rainstorm, rolling on the ground. The cavalry above was even more unbearable. The powerful crossbow arrows easily shot through the thin mail of the archers, making them Was thrown off by a war horse covered in blood
In order to achieve sufficient density, Caesar Sauron used 5,000 foot crossbows to shoot at the archer troops with only 1,000 men. The density can be imagined. The unscrupulous men and horses were shot into hedgehogs filled with arrows. . The entire battlefield fell into a dead silence at this moment, and a whole thousand elite archers were arrested for an instant
Off
"His" Tarmezi took a breath of air. He didn't expect the Weiqia army's strange bow to have such a long range. Although Tarmezi had not encountered the Samor crossbow, he had heard of Hu Xuezhong. The captain described that it was a pity that Hu Xue encountered a cavalry short crossbow, not a more powerful infantry foot crossbow. This led to the wrong estimate of the range of the Weiqia bow of the Tarmezi team. If you want to know what happened, Please log in... This is already the case.
