Power and Empire: The 598 Visa War (2)
The earth groaned dullly under the footsteps of many horses’ hooves. As a rookie among the Mamunuk knights, Gregor just leveled the spear in his hand, and his horse cost 60 silver coins. The low-quality mule horses that I bought were rushed by the torrent of horses from the brigade, and followed most of the Mamunuk knights to run desperately.
The purple armor of Captain Kritatu leaping in front, undulates like a banner, and a black ridge flies involuntarily towards the front,
"Long live Mamunuk!"
The first row of knights in the front made shouts that shook the heavens and the earth, and then in the second row behind, Gregor was also screaming in his ears. He heard a cluster of arrows on the opposite side, a white band. The cluster of arrows passed through him lightly on his left, and hit the arm armor of an veteran severely. Gregory was scared in a cold sweat, and his whole body was lying on the horseback, not daring to move.
"Don't be afraid, this kind of soft bow will not shoot through the armor of the Mamunuk knight!"
The veteran who was shot by the arrow laughed beside him, broke the tail of the arrow that was swaying from the left and right of the arm armor with his hand, and threw it to the ground casually.
Gregor knows this old guy with a big red nose, the senior Mamunuk Cheridat of the 3rd Squadron. It is said that once he was drunk, this old Mamunuk drunk boasted that he had killed 1o. Norman,
For such a record, most of the Mamunuk are noncommittal. Everyone knows that Cheridat’s two sons died in the battle against the Normans. Every day, this guy dreams of being able to fight against the Normans. Really fight once, instead of hiding behind the strong walls of Kyoto and looking at the brilliance of the Normans on the opposite side
"Swish" another cluster of arrows swept across Gregor's face. If it weren't for a strong visor, it might have left a scar on his handsome and young face that represents the record.
The target in front of him is getting closer, and the flying arrows force him to lay his head on the damp horse's neck, and the pungent smell of horse sweat burrows into his nose,
He seemed to be breathing through a layer of breathing brushes, uncomfortable, but that's it, he hasn't shaken the spear in his hand. The inferior wooden handle spear is tightened on his ribs, because he is too nervous. His ribs hurt when he was clamped, and a layer of han appeared on the palm of his hand, like a layer of greasy mucus,
This is an old Mamunuk teaching his skills,
In the group charge, any personal skills have no effect,
The only thing that can be done is to hold the spear in your hand tightly. The fort will be able to accurately plunge the spear into the target in front of you with the help of the sprint of the horse in the first time.
Many novice knights are not skilled enough. When they stabbed the spear in their hands, they were also stabbed by the opponent's spear, leading to their death in the first battle. The skilled veteran will use the ribs to tighten the spear, and then reach out when the target is approaching. The length of the sudden extension can often make the target stabbed to death in panic.
Gregor was the third batch of cavalry troops to join. The collapsed wooden fence and crowded infantry almost blocked the road ahead.
An infantryman rushing forward with a spear on a hillside, Gregor looked at it proudly. From the current situation, even ignorant people know that he has already taken the right advantage.
The purple armor in front is so eye-catching. It was Captain Kritatu who had just attacked in the first wave. His Mamunuk knights are the most elite troops in the whole army. They have broken through the last barrier, their spears are like forests. , The reflection of the metal armor brought Gregor's blood boiled, the lonely wooden castle on the slope, at this moment, is like a small boat about to be crushed in front of a huge wave
A Mamunuk knight was the first to climb the top of the slope. He raised the long sword in his hand with excitement, but it was only halfway up. His weird behavior did not arouse the knights behind. Attention,
In fact, seeing someone climb the **** for the first time, many Mamunuk knights raised their weapons high and gave out cheers of victory. In their impressions, the enemy had been defeated. , As long as you rush to this high slope, that thin and embarrassing wooden fort, it's completely a matter of hand.
"There is an ambush!"
A screaming scream came from the top of the mountain, with expressions of despair and anger inside,
The Mamunuk knight who was cheering saw the warrior who was the first to rush to the hillside. His body trembled violently, and then he rolled down the hillside with his horse and man. At this time, the Mamunuks showed up. The whole body of the famous warrior is filled with clusters of white arrows, and nothing can be seen behind him, but the entire front is completely torn apart, and it makes people feel scared.
"What's the matter?"
The Mamunuks peeked at each other, and the surging cavalry group appeared some tuns,
At this time, they heard a strange whistling sound from the sky above their heads. Numerous black spots were like locust swarms rising from the top of a mountain, shooting down the head of the rushing Mamunuk knight.
The black color even gives the knights a feeling of being covered up in the sky
"His" horses neighed. Thousands of Mamunuk knights were unprepared, even their men and horses were shot by arrows falling head-on. More than hundreds of Mamunuk knights almost babbled. Without saying a word, I rolled down from my horse, and the corpse filled with arrows fell from the horse and hit the ground heavily, bringing up the dust full of blood
"Set up a shield, rush away if you don't want to die"
Seeing the comrades rolling down the horse in front, the Mamunok knights' own powerful martial arts also showed no doubt. They erected their shields extremely quickly, instead of reducing them, they rushed forward against the oncoming arrows.
The "Ding Dong" arrow hit the shield, and the horses continued to roll and collide with each other because of the arrows, and the cavalry in front of them fell heavily.
"All of them collapsed! Don't let one pass!"
On the top of the mountain, the head of the Longbow Banner, Xastay, once again put down the 1,500 longbowmen in a row, and at the same time loosened the end of the arrowheads in their hands. The fat man gave him the order, which was in the first place. When a Mamunuk knight rushed to the top of the slope, he used his longbow to shoot
"Beng! Beng! Beng!"
A thousand and five hundred bowstrings stretched to the extreme, and once again there was a muffled sound tearing the air at the same time,
The special long arrow shot out, with the swirling airflow, crashed into the queue where Mamunuk was struggling to charge, and the sound of rips filled the air. This is the sound of the arrowhead tearing the air forcefully.
"Ah" a sprinting Mamunuk knight. The arrow hit his forehead. The metal visor of his face was blown to pieces by a powerful force. The carcass and the horse rolled out more than ten meters. The longbow arrowheads as thick as a thumb are like a big net, shooting the Mamunuk knights who are not afraid to forward into a hornet's nest. Often an arrowhead penetrates the body of a Mamunuk with unabated energy. Inserted another Mamunuk body,
"Prepare for three rounds of shooting, within 20 minutes, shoot all your arrows!"
Cosstai exclaimed with excitement, and raised his lowered hand again. The longbowmen drew the bowstrings in their hands again. The fierce tearing air sounded again, and a black mist of arrows fell again. Salander's head
The clusters of arrows shot quickly completely made the Mamunuk knights messed up. They were wearing heavy armor and were not afraid to shoot bows and arrows, but the clusters of arrows shot from the opposite side were too evil, not only impactful. Strong, and tearing apart the heavy armor that I am proud of is as easy as tearing apart a piece of thick paper,
This can make the always brave Mamunuk knights feel cold. At first, the Mamunuk knights might be able to contain the opponent's long-range attack by counter-impact, but they found that they were wrong.
But a short 100-meter **** mouth has become an insurmountable death line. Arrow clusters fly horizontally, sweeping like sharp sickles, and any target that reveals the height of the top of the **** becomes full of arrow clusters. Corpse,
More than a thousand corpses are piled up here. Some died in the assault, and some died in the retreat. It is impossible for the thorn tile longbowman to let the merits of sending the door slip away. The sharp longbow Piercing shots made most of the Mamunuk knights fall back and run away.
"No, order everyone to retreat!"
Moleher, who was on the opposite hillside, also found something wrong. His eyebrows were completely twisted together. He did not expect that the Northern Army would ambush such a powerful archer in such a shameful situation.
It may be because the knight yelled "There is an ambush" before he died, or it may be the sudden powerful attack of the opponent, which gave him an ominous premonition,
Unfortunately, his orders are difficult to implement,
Hearing the order coming from behind, the general Mamunuk who were also shouting to retreat could only smile helplessly at the corners of their mouths. The 20,000 Salanders on the **** were crowded in this chaos. More than 200 meters long slope,
The clusters of arrows above the head kept falling, the soldiers fell one by one, and the painful screams of the arrow strikers came out from the chaotic crowd from time to time. This is the battlefield. Now no one can control these poor guys,
"Retreat, retreat!" Salander's light infantry captains shouted one by one with red eyes. They have the largest number, and they are also the most chaotic and poorest
Before them are the Mamunuk knights who rode their horses back and run back. These knights who have always been known for their bravery and fearlessness are completely frightened at this moment. Their faces panicked and turned their horses back, in order to get out of the mountain as soon as possible. The shooting of the longbowmen even the infantry who was still crowding in the middle of the mountain road without any scruples, they stepped over with their war horses, causing the infantry to swear.
Behind them is a simple wooden fence that was too late to pull out.
"Damn it, this is a trap!"
Molech slammed his saddle with an angry fist. Yes, now he can see that these wooden fences are not used to resist the cavalry attack at all, but are used to restrict the cavalry that has already stormed the hillside. Used to retreat back,
Now these previously seemingly useless facilities are exactly like spurs protruding from the slope, allowing a large number of Salander infantry and the knight’s horses in front to be completely crowded together. No one wants to quit. , When time is the battlefield of life, this situation is simply suicide
"Master °Look!"
Just when Molech wanted to hit the wall with grief and anger~IndoMTL.com~A Mamunuk knight next to him suddenly raised his finger and shouted in a very horrified voice,
Moleher looked over in annoyance, like a cat with a tail in boiling water, shouting hoarsely, "No, no!"
"Boom," a loud thunderous sound came, and countless red light spots were like squeezed snowballs, dragging a long thick smoke over the heads of Salander's army, which was a projectile of fuel bombs. The fire,
The moment the burning fireball hit the ground, there was a burst from the middle, and the red smoke scattered all over. Several Mamunuk knights were touched by the splashing flames, and even the people and horses were lit up. The fireball made waves of miserable and terrifying shouts, and the ignited horses ran around, igniting more places,
This undoubtedly hit the deadly point of the dense Salander army. All this changed so fast, completely free from everyone’s tugging. Just this time, hundreds of fireballs with long smoke tails , Already like the **** of death falling from the sky, slammed down on the Salanders who were completely crowded below, countless fires and explosions were like huge apertures, spreading the gorgeous petals of death on the earth.
