"Young Patriarch, the main force of the coalition forces has arrived at the defense line of the Biang River" The report of the scout's return made everyone's nerves nervous, the sharp hunting knife was pulled out by the chasers, Su Ke Bailing was unexpectedly calm, she just nodded to the scout who returned, indicating that she knew, instead of immediately giving the order to attack "Young Patriarch, give the order, let's go and kill all these dogs!" Some of the chasers shouted uncontrollably, "Calm down, we only have one chance!" Su Ke Bailing turned his pretty face and said sternly. Don't forget, this time there are also Punk heavy shield shooters, even if we have fast speed, once we encounter the heavy shield shooters, there is only a dead end!"
The flower of Suke Bailing quieted the chasers, the so-called heavy shield archer, is a characteristic class of the former Salander dynasty, wearing heavy armor, carrying a large shield, the weapon is mainly composed of long-range strong bows and melee blunt knives, few people will equip their own archers like this,
Therefore, the movement of these heavy shield archers is not walking, but transporting equipment in a carriage, or simply riding a horse, and after arriving at the destination, they dismount and stand and shoot, which is a bit of the meaning of the French dragoons of later generations.
These heavy shield shooters, who have abandoned mobility and greatly strengthened their defenses, are the natural enemies of Mamunuk and the assault cavalry equipped with light armor, even if they consider themselves the most heroic, they will never choose to fight with a team of heavy shield marksmen, because the defense of the heavy shield shooters is almost completely immune to the bayonets of the Mamunuk's cavalry.
And after they stand in a phalanx, it is a strong humanoid barrier, almost impossible to meet on the battlefield, can shoot from a distance, can also be close combat, if transported to a kind of chariot in the early days of the Salanders, it is a group of killing machines, of course, this is only the idealization of the Salanders.
In the actual engagement, the combat power of the heavy shield shooter will be affected by a series of factors such as climate, terrain, logistics and supply, and the training is not easy, and the conditions for selecting soldiers are also extremely high. And even so, the main role of the heavy shield archers is to weaken the threat of the enemy's cavalry, and there have never been large-scale cavalry units in the Salander region, so in the late Salander Dynasty, the heavy shield archers have been canceled in the regular army of the Salander Dynasty.
Not only because this type of military is not very practical and consumes a lot, but also because most of the self-proclaimed glorious Mamunuk's knights think it. Equipping the humble shooter with even more luxury than the Mamunuks is a complete reversal of the cart, and in the isolated Black Forest, this early heavy class of troops survived. Although the number of punks who were still born as infantry generals is small, it is enough for other tribes not to dare to fight lightly, after all, the perverted defense of the heavy shield archers and the ability to advance the phalanx. For most of the Black Forest peasant army, which could not even popularize armor, it was really irresistible
For the Sukh assault chasseurs, the whereabouts of these heavy shield archers. According to her information, this time the Punk tribe dispatched at least more than 500 heavy shield archers, and these troops that can beat the Suk hunters are still a mystery, which is like a sharp BYD sword hanging over the head of the Suk tribe
Out of prudence, Su Ke Bailing decided to take a look for himself, and gently instigated the war horse under his crotch to the edge of the forest with his slender thighs in a beautiful patterned long skirt armor.
The forest where the three thousand chasseurs of Sukebailing are hiding, is on a high slope outside the Bridge Oasis, and the scene below can be seen at a glance, and the entrance to the great oasis 30 miles away from Ebony is like a huge emerald carpet, extending from the outside into the distance, revealing large and small dense lakes, next to a river that crosses the perimeter of the entrance, that is, the Bion River where the coalition forces arrived, the water is clear and attractive, and in the sunlight, it exudes a pearl-like luster, and the white water birds that rise and fall from time to time wander up and down in the woods and lakes, and no one would believe that in the depths of this wilderness full of ravines if they had not seen it with their own eyes, there will be such a beautiful place, and now there is a fight to shake the sky, and the cries of the two armies are coming and going
The sun shone down, the horse's hooves stopped, and the scene of the river beach below reflected her beautiful and unusual eyelids, although she was mentally prepared,
But the distant scene still made her two good-looking eyebrows twisted together, an army of tens of thousands of people, she hadn't seen it, but if 10,000 people were spread out on a river beach no more than 100 meters long, the feeling of being like rain and overwhelming the sky was enough to impact anyone's retina,
On the river beach where the coalition forces gathered, the coalition army of 11,000 people was scattered into several pieces and constantly attacked the other side of the river.
On the opposite side of the defense line along the river, you can vaguely see the archers wearing Sukh armor, standing densely on the stake guard tower with a wide field of vision, struggling to pull the bowstring, and quickly let go without waiting for it to be full, and without even aiming, let go of the bowstring and shoot towards the river, because there are too many enemies on the river.
It's the dry season in winter, and the soldiers of the coalition forces don't even have to swim across, they just roll up their pants and come in the water.
The dense pile of people squirmed forward like a swarm of ants hugging each other, the flow of people almost completely blocked the flow of the river, and the cold light of countless towering spears, not to mention the defenders who were bearing the frontal pressure, even Su Ke Bailing, who was 2 kilometers away, also looked at it with a deep worry,
Dense clusters of arrows staggered across the river, like countless points of light that suddenly burst out.
The powerful cross-fire line, which formed a line of death at the entrance along the river, could constantly see the enemy who was shot in the body, and after a few shakes, it was washed away by the agitated river, but there were too many people crossing the river, and tens of thousands of people were crowded together on the river beach,
The leaders of the tribes gathered their men in a panic, and some of them were scattered in front of them, and they were pushed up again, like a tidal wave, constantly attacking the already small Sukh line
The battle was like fire, Su Ke Bailing's hands were clenched together, the battle was too miserable, the heavens and the earth were filled with terrible shocking sounds, dense as raindrops of boulders and arrows, like waves slapping on the heads of the crowded enemies below, turning into a splash of terrifying bright red, the sound of "poof" was the waves of flesh and blood and screams in the killing,
Relying on the absolute superiority of numbers, the coalition forces did not care about casualties at all, and were not afraid of sacrifices, so they advanced step by step, until they pressed under the defensive line, and the beautiful Bi'an River, in the countless fluttering sounds, the river gradually became shallow, but it was scarlet.
Su Ke Bailing's pretty face couldn't bear to look at it, and raised his head to look at the sun above his head, "Am I really wrong?" Su Ke Bailing couldn't help but ask in a low voice, this time the decision to take the initiative to meet the attack, she insisted on it, but she didn't expect that as soon as she came into contact, such a bloody battle would break out, and she didn't think about it, like last time, she would defend the strong city wall of Ebony Tuo to offset the numerical advantage of the coalition army, but this time was different from the last Sky Sect invasion, and the goal of the Sky Cultists was very clear, that is, to take down the so-called holy land "Umulto" in their mouths There is no interest in the nearby oasis, and the coalition forces that are attacking this time are different, if the Sukh people can't defend the fortified city of Umutuo, the coalition forces will continue to surround Umutuo on the one hand, and on the other hand, they will divide up all the other areas of the great oasis of Umuto.
Only by keeping the coalition forces out of the Great Oasis will the Sukhs have the capital to continue to survive,
"Young Patriarch, it seems that the enemy is going to press all of them, the frontal pressure of our army is too great, once the defense line of the Biang River is broken, my Ebony Oasis will have to carry out the final siege battle!" A middle-aged 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 it will definitely be able to win a big victory!" "No, wait a little longer! Until now, I haven't found any heavy shield warriors of the Punk clan inside." Su Ke Bai Ling took a deep breath, and said very easily, the five fingers of her holding the horsewhip were already clenched and white because of excessive nervousness, and the wind blew the ribbon on his head that bandaged his hair, and the long red hair like a waterfall ran down his shoulders, "It should be because of the slow movement, not left behind!" the Su Ke general said with some disapproval. On such a narrow river beach, once the flanks are scattered, it will inevitably lead to a great rout of the whole army, and even the heavy shield warriors of the Punk clan will be completely unable to play a role in application!" "What you said seems to have some truth!"
Su Ke Bailing's heart was a little shaken, the Biang River is a Wei River outside the Bridge Oasis, less than 2000 meters away from the forest location where the chasers are ambushed now, there is the entrance to the entire Umuto Oasis, once it is broken through by the coalition army, the city of Umuto will directly face the front of the coalition army,
According to the deployment, the 1,500 outposts of the Sukh will be there to meet the coalition forces, and the 3,000 chasseurs led by the Sukh Bailing will also take advantage of the weakness of the scattered queues and multi-person commands when the coalition forces crossed the river, and launched a breakthrough from the flank, giving the coalition forces a fatal blow.
Even if it can't completely defeat the huge number of coalition forces, it can at least shake the existing alliance, as long as people's hearts fluctuate, it will inevitably cause some tribes to withdraw early, thereby dividing the strength of the coalition army and achieving the purpose of gradually weakening.
But the most feared opponent of the assault cavalry, the Punk heavy shield archers, was still nowhere to be found, which also made Su Ke Bailing hesitate
On the river beach below, the gaze of Duane Newcas, the patriarch of Dures on horseback, caught a fleeting black dot in the air, and then landed on the dense forest on the high slope on the side, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and whispered, "What a foolishness, doesn't this woman know that this flat-haired beast is hovering in one place all the time, which in itself is very revealing? )
