Power and Empire Chapter 435: The Scarlet Moon (2)
435 Scarlet Moon (2)
"Woo" the horns in front of the city of Samandu, 5,000 Hurricane Kujit shooters all over Puchengtou, and the people who watched in the dark were embarrassed.
The countless loose bowstrings brought up a flash of cold light arrows, tearing open the pouring rain curtain in the air, "swishing" countless swift white lights and shadows covering the city head,
Countless long arrows flying like locusts accompanied the heavy rain falling in the air and shot into the body of the Swadian cavalry, and the "玎珰" arrow cluster hit the cavalry's narrow knuckle-shaped shield with a rain-like crisp sound.
Although the front row of cavalry has a shield to cover, but the cavalry's narrow knuckle-shaped shield, under the stormy coverage and shooting, it is obviously reckless.
The shield wall pushed by the entire row suddenly resembles the harvested wheatgrass, and a large swath is swept down.
The precise concentrated shooting of five thousand Hurricane Kurgit shooters opened a 100-meter-long gap in the Swadian army that was trying to get close to the wall.
More than six hundred Swadian soldiers were flanked by shooting angles in three directions at the same time, and they were shot into hedgehogs filled with white feather arrows. Their bodies were stacked into a clear horizontal line.
"These hateful Kujit cowards," a Swadian squadron leader leading the forward, with blood-red eyes showing half of his head from behind the shield,
He first looked at the subordinates surrounded by clusters of arrows, and thought that if he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would be so miserable now, so he couldn't help but spit on the ground angrily.
At this time, the second row behind was pushed up. Thousands of Swadian soldiers stepped over the fallen companion's corpse in front of them without hesitation, and continued to move forward
A creaking sound rang around him, and he saw several temporary wooden siege towers more than ten meters high, exposed under the cover of a dense shield wall.
Behind the huge car body covered with animal skins, followed by dozens of heavily armored Swadian lionwing knights, and nearly a thousand pikemen wearing heavy armor and armed with siege lances,
In the hazy and pouring rain, these people are like ghosts that suddenly flashed out of the dark shadows. The cold icy rain dripped on the armor of their bodies, turning into blossoming white sprays,
"His" the Swadian squadron leader shuddered. The Swadian squadron leader who had escaped just now shut his mouth in good time.
The chill from the heart is far more heavy and depressing than the situation that was full of corpses just now. He did not expect that the commander of the banner regiment, Miscellin-sama, would release these "sinners" in the first wave of attacks.
Lion Pterodactyl Gun Squadron
They are the most elite forward guard cavalry squadron in the Lion Wing Banner regiment. They are also the soul of the entire Lion Wing Banner regiment. They are the dragon guns that penetrate everything in the true sense.
Their main members are composed of exile knights who were judged to have fallen from Swadian.
In the previous field battle with the main force of the Kujit cavalry, this unit used extremely sharp heavy cavalry assault tactics and extremely skilled knight combat skills.
Several times through the back of the main force of the Khergits, which were several times larger than our own, the Khergit army became the target of the Swadian cavalry slaughter when it lost its command.
The sound of the horn from the rear commanding to advance resounded across the sky, and it became more rushed in the raindrops on the rain curtain. With the advantage of numbers, tens of thousands of Swadian Lion-wing soldiers were blocked by the bows and arrows of the city. ,
Arranged in a huge inverted triangle formation, one for every five hundred people, holding the knight-shaped shield like a black wall, pressing up against the city of Samandu like a wave,
"Shooting" sounded at the head of the city with a rush of bowstrings. Thousands of white lines once again tore through the rain curtain. The "ding-dang-dang" armor hit and the screams of arrows were mixed in the raindrops. In the sound, it seemed to be stern,
Some of the front ranks had to stop, but these black shadows marching silently in the heavy rain are like steel beasts appearing in the rain curtain,
No matter how many arrows are shot overhead, no matter how many companions fall on the way forward, they are still like an unstoppable steel shield wall leaning against the wall,
"Papa" a heavy armored soldier on the periphery was shot through his knee by a flying arrow that blocked the flight and fell over and rolled in the mud,
Looking at the companions who fell in the cluster of flying arrows, the eyes of other people were filled with indifference, killing or being killed, and there was no fear in their hearts.
Only when they saw the clear figure of the enemy at the head of the city, their eyes flashed the blood red before the killing of the beast,
They are the sharpest spear points in the entire Lion Wing Banner regiment,
It is also a killing machine waiting for new life, full of survival and destruction,
It is the true meaning of the lion pterodactyl spear,
Some of them are high-ranking knights, some are nobles, and there are even three barons and earls who were once the ruling party.
According to the Swadian law, as long as it is not a crime of treason, every Swadian knight and lord who has committed a mistake has a chance to return to the army and serve.
This is the right granted to them by the Kingdom,
It is also a cruel and **** power, using the blood of the enemy or one's own to wash away the evil from one's own body, and the power to return to glory,
Their enemies are called the Silent in the Dark (Black Flag Knights),
When the siege veneer falls, they will always be like a silent but unshakable iron torrent. Under the leadership of the heavy armored silver cross knight captain, the first group rushed to the city to fight the enemy to the death.
"Attention, there is the Swadian Black Flag." The Kurgit shooter on the top of the city yelled. The strange heavy infantry that suddenly emerged from this team made the Khergits on the top of the city chaotic.
Although the legend of Swadian black chess is active in the eastern grasslands, although the eastern and western kings of Kujit are separated, many tribes migrate back and forth between the east and the west according to the abundance of water plants.
With their migration and flow, the Kujites of Xiting are also very acquainted with these murderous demons,
A team of Kurgit shooters with feathers on their heads soon appeared on the city’s head. These are the more advanced Laren shooter captains of the Hurricane Kurgit shooters and the best shooters of the Royal Court Guard.
The bow and arrow in their hands is the most powerful large-scale composite war bow, the bowstring of the bison tendon winch and the thicker bison horn bow handle,
Giving this enhanced weapon extremely destructive power,
Although it is slightly weaker than the thorn tile longbow in penetrating power, it is enough to penetrate the knight's heavy armor for 50 meters in the front, and in terms of shooting frequency, it has a faster shooting than the thorn tile longbow.
It is a perfect combination of attack power and shooting frequency. But because of the high price of materials, even the king court can only be used by a few shooters who have the name of Laren Warrior.
"Target 50m Swadian Black Flag" Cujitraren shooter captain shouted, and a creaking sound was heard from the full bowstring.
"Swish" hundreds of violent sounds of tearing the air sounded overhead,
Strong arrow clusters cut through the rain curtain, bringing out a white waterline, coming from the side **** of the entire black flag army formation with a harsh whistling sound,
The heavy armor of the "Papa" black flag soldier was torn apart by the sharp triangular arrow. A dozen soldiers on the right side of the army who were shot in the vital part of the army collapsed in the mud.
The commander of the Black Flag of the "Transformation Lingdun" seemed to be prepared for this situation. Hearing the sound of tearing air in the surrounding area, he decisively issued the order to change the formation.
"Turn the shield on the right" with the shout of several key positions, the outermost shield player quickly tilted the face of the shield in his hand at an angle of fifteen degrees,
The entire queue quickly became a diamond slanted on all sides in silence,
"Dang Cang"'s powerful arrow cluster hit the shield, shaking the soldier's arm behind the shield, but this time the arrow cluster did not penetrate.
It's like being beaten up in the water, plunged into the mud under the soldiers' feet,
Faced with the more powerful arrow shot above their heads, these lion pterodactyl gun squadron soldiers just habitually gathered the arms holding the shield in front of their chests.
The outer defensive shield soldiers squeezed in symbolically, making the whole formation more tight and flawless,
The heavy helmets on their heads have all been put down, only at the eye position, a cross-shaped gap is exposed to see the road ahead,
The knight's heavy armor for foot combat is two layers thick. The outside is painted black forty kilograms of stainless steel armor, and the inner layer is 15 kilograms of fine chain mail.
Kugit’s long arrows are often used in vain to strike on the outer inclined shield, and then bounce off with a crisp sound. Some shots into the inner heavy armor will also be stuck by the inner armor.
"There is never a position for a shooter on the battlefield, don't these Khergits even forget this" Swadian Lion Wing Banner Commander Michelin looked at the baffle of the siege tower that was about to be put down, with a smirk at the corner of his mouth
"At this level, it is a joke that my hand is still trying to block the footsteps of my lion pterodactyl"
As a main eastern flag regiment that has been fighting Kujit on the border for a long time, Miserin, the commander of the Lion Wing Banner, is very clear about the Kujit’s tactics and habits.
This battle was basically over when the main force in the outskirts of the enemy chose to retreat hastily,
As for these annoying defenders, they are just adding an inconspicuous tail to their brilliant record of 20,000 defeating 60,000 enemies,
He has 10,000 of the most elite light cavalry in his hands, and he is accompanied by a powerful black flag heavy cavalry squadron,
The low city of Samandu is in front of its well-equipped army,
It is a mark destined to be written brilliantly, an opportunity to write your name into history
Occupying Samandu, the first important town of the Kujit court, will definitely bring your prestige to a new height. It is not impossible to be promoted to the first earl by His Majesty the King
In the hearts of the Kujites, archers are not equal to fighters. Their composition is very complicated. There are ordinary tribesmen and famous wandering heroes.
But none of them can get rid of the reality. In a country where cavalry group assault is the main tactic, the cavalry shooter itself is an embarrassing existence,
Their arrow clusters will never be able to compete with the heavy archers in the infantry, nor can they shoot through the enemy's heavy cavalry on the move,
In front of the dense cavalry group, they are a group of miscellaneous soldiers. Their responsibility is not to follow the main force to carry out auxiliary attacks, or to run out occasionally to attack the enemy's back
Whether it is a field battle or a siege battle, as long as they can get close, these loosely organized Kujit shooters will scatter like a flock of ducks being driven away in panic.
The Lion Wing Banner Group has encountered too many such situations in the eastern grasslands. As long as a small-scale elite light cavalry advances quickly, these long-range attack kings will choose to retreat immediately.
Because according to the logic of the prairie people, a prairie shooter who can't even save his own life will only become the object of everyone's ridicule,
The baffle of the "pop" siege tower slammed heavily on the wall, and the dense black flag soldiers rushed up the wall along the passage,
"Everything is over, it's time to punish these archers." Miselin turned around with ease. He could imagine the miserable fate of the stubbornly resisting Kurgit archers on the city.
Black flag has always been synonymous with blood and killing,
For these fallen people who are burdened with sin, in their consciousness, only the blood of the enemy can wash away their sins and return them to glory,
They have never had a live record in their hands,
Miselin knew that the battle was over. If these archers could defeat the tyrannical Black Flag troops in close combat, it would definitely be in his own dream,
These black flags will definitely make a mess of miserable Michelin here again, looking at the black figure that has occupied the battlements in the distance, muttering with a gloomy look,
He waved his hand to the adjutant behind him, looking tired and said, "I need to get a good night's sleep. Remember, before the sky goes dark, no matter what happens, don't wake me up
"Especially about those black flags who like to kill prisoners everywhere,
You tell the black knight Covent that bastard, I don’t have his bad and **** hobby, and it’s impossible to wipe his **** every time.” Miserin’s tone intensified to remind the adjutant, turning around and preparing to leave,
"Boom" Just when Michelin was about to leave, a violent thunder came from behind Michelin. The fierce fighting for several days made Michelin feel that his head was blinded,
For this weird muffled thunder~IndoMTL.com~Miselin raised his head very dissatisfied and looked at the rainy sky
"It's such a terrible weather to hell." Michelin's sensitive nose sprayed out and complained with dissatisfaction. As a cavalry general in mobile combat, no one would like rainstorms.
The muddy grassland will seriously slow down the gallop of the horses, and will cause the cavalry troops to lure the enemy to leave a lot of horseshoe marks in the mud. This is absolutely deadly for the Miselin Banner regiments who are good at ambushes.
No one will ignore the sudden appearance of large numbers of horseshoe prints,
If the rainstorm came earlier, the plan to attack Samandu would be a joke at all,
The 30,000 lone Swadian cavalry in depth will be torn to pieces by the 80,000 Kujites who are more familiar with the terrain
"Rumble" is another rapid and violent muffled thunder from behind him, this time he no longer complains,
Because he heard an uproar from behind him, and the adjutant standing in front of him had a dumbfounded expression, and his bulging eyes were shining with a hint of red, full of incredible and fearful light
