Volume 3 Overlord's Continent 435 Scarlet Moon (2)
435 Scarlet Moon (2)
"Woo woo" sprinkled the horn in front of the capital, and 5,000 Kugit Hurricane shooters filled the city, and the black pressure pressed the hearts of those who watched
Countless loosened bowstrings, with a cold light flickering arrows, tore through the rain curtain pouring down in the air, and "swished" countless swift white lights and shadows covered from the city.
Countless locust-like arrows flew into the body of the Ruierdian cavalry with the rain falling from the sky, and the "Xuan" arrow cluster struck the cavalry's narrow shield with a crisp sound like raindrops.
Although the front row of cavalry had shield cover, the narrow shield-shaped shield of the cavalry, under this stormy covering fire, obviously looked careless,
The whole row of shields pushed by the wall suddenly fell like harvested wheat straw, and a large piece fell down with a brush.
The accurate and concentrated fire of 5,000 Kugit Hurricane shooters tore a 100-meter-long gap in the Ryerdian army formation that tried to get close to the city wall.
More than 600 Ryordian soldiers were simultaneously flanked by the angles of fire from three directions, and were immediately shot into hedgehogs filled with white feathered arrows, and their corpses were stacked in a clear horizontal line
"Scolding these hateful Kujit cowards" Captain Rui Erdian, a squadron leader who led the forward, his blood-red eyes peeking out half of his head from behind the shield,
He first looked at the subordinates around him who were covered with arrows, and thought that if he hadn't reacted fast enough just now, he would be so miserable now, so he couldn't help but spit on the ground with an angry expression.
At this moment, the second row of queues pushed up, and thousands of Ruierdian soldiers stepped over the corpses of their fallen companions in front of them without hesitation and continued to move forward
A creaking sound sounded around him, and he saw several improvised wooden siege towers more than ten meters high, revealing under the cover of a dense row of shield walls,
Behind the huge hull covered with animal skins, followed by dozens of heavily armored Ryldian Lion-winged Knights, and nearly a thousand pikemen wearing heavy armor and holding siege spears,
In the hazy pouring rain, these people were like ghosts that suddenly flashed out of the dark shadows, and the cold ice raindrops fell on the armor on their bodies, turning into white splashes.
"Hiss" The Squadron Leader Rui Erdian couldn't help but shudder, and the Squadron Leader Rui Erdian who had escaped just now closed his mouth in time,
The chill that came from his heart was far more heavy and depressing than the situation of the corpses just now, and he didn't expect that Lord Misselin, the commander of the Flag Regiment, would release these "sinners" in the first wave of attacks
Lion-wing dragon lance squadron
They are the most elite forward guards cavalry squadron in the Lion Wing Banner Regiment, and they are also the soul of the entire Lion Wing Banner Regiment.
Their main members are the exiled knights who have been convicted of depravity by Ryrdian,
In the previous field battles with the main force of the Kugit cavalry, it was this unit, with extremely sharp heavy cavalry assault tactics and extremely skilled knightly combat skills,
Several times from the back pierced through the main army formation of the Kujits, which was several times their size, and led the Kugit army to become the target of slaughter by the frontal assault of the Ruierdian cavalry without the command of the leader.
"Woo woo" The sound of the horn of the rear ordering the advance resounded in the sky, and the more rapid it appeared in the raindrops of the rain curtain, relying on the advantage of numbers, tens of thousands of Ruierdian lion wing soldiers were blocked by bows and arrows at the head of the city,
Lined up in a huge inverted triangle formation, with one for every five hundred people, holding a crane-shaped knight's shield like a black wall, pressing up towards the capital like waves,
"Shooting" With a rapid bowstring sound resounded in the city, thousands of white lines tore the rain curtain again, and the sound of "clanging" armor and the screams of arrows were mixed in the sound of raindrops, which seemed to be terrible.
Some of the military formations in the front line had to stop, but these black shadows advancing silently in the rainstorm were like steel beasts that appeared in the rain curtain,
No matter how many arrows rain overhead, no matter how many of their companions fell on the way, they still leaned towards the city wall like an unstoppable steel shield wall.
"Bang Bang" A heavily armored soldier on the periphery was shot through the knee by a stray arrow that blocked the flight and fell and rolled in the mud,
Looking at their companions who fell in the cluster of arrows, the eyes of the others were full of indifference, killing or being killed, and there was no fear in their hearts for a long time.
Only the moment they saw the clear figure of the enemy at the head of the city, their eyes flashed the blood red before the beast was killed,
They are the sharpest spears in the entire Lionwing Banner,
It is also a killing machine waiting for a new life, full of survival and destruction.
is the true meaning of the lion's wing dragon gun,,
Some of them were high-ranking knights, some were nobles, and there were even three barons and counts who had once ruled the party
According to the laws of the Raldian, as long as they do not commit a crime of rebellion, every knight and lord of the Raldian who makes a mistake has a chance to return to serve in the army.
This is a privilege given to them by the Kingdom,
It is also a cruel and bloody power, the power to wash away its sins and return to glory with the blood of its enemies or its own,
These are the enemies known as the Silent in the Darkness (Black Flag Knights),
When the siege planks fall, they will always be like a silent and sharp torrent of steel, led by the captain of the heavily armored Silver Cross Knights in front, the first to rush to the city to fight the enemy to the death
"Attention, there is the black flag of Ruierdian," shouted the Kugit shooter at the head of the city, and this group of strange hoplites suddenly appeared to make the Kugit people at the head of the city chaotic,
Although the legend of Ruierdian black chess is active in the eastern grasslands, although the eastern and western royal courts of Kugit are separated, many tribes migrate back and forth between the east and west according to the abundance of water and grass.
With their migration and flow, the Kujit people of Xiting are also like thunder to these devils who kill people without blinking.
Soon a team of Kugit shooters with feathers on their heads appeared in the city, these were the captain of the Laren shooters shot by Hurricane Kujit, and they were the best among the shooters of the royal court guard.
Their bows and arrows were the most powerful of the large, composite warbows, the bowstrings of the bison tendon winch and the thicker buffalo horn handles,
This enhanced weapon is endowed with extremely good lethality,
Although it is slightly weaker than the Thorn Tile Longbow in terms of penetration, it is also enough to penetrate the knight's heavy armor fifty meters in the front, and in terms of firing frequency, it has a faster shot than the Thorn Tile Longbow.
It is a perfect combination of attack power and shooting frequency, but because the material is expensive, even the royal court can only be used by a few shooters who have the name of Laren Warrior.
"Target Fifty Meters Ryerdian Black Flag" shouted the captain of the Kuji Tlren archer, and there was a creak from the bowstring that pulled out the full string,
"Whoosh" hundreds of violent sounds tearing through the air sounded overhead,
Powerful arrows pierced the rain curtain and brought out white water lines, striking from the side slope of the entire black flag military formation, with a piercing whistling sound.
The heavy armor of the "pop" black flag soldiers was torn apart by sharp triangular arrows in an instant, and more than a dozen soldiers on the right side of the military formation who were shot in the vital parts fell into the mud with their bodies weak
The commander of the black flag of the "Changing Array Ling Shield" seemed to have been prepared for this situation, and when he heard the sound of tearing the air around him that was obviously more violent, he decisively gave the order to change the formation.
"Turn the shield on the right side" With several shouts from key positions, the outermost shield hand quickly tilted the shield in his hand at a fifteen-degree angle.
The whole queue quickly formed into a diamond shape that sloped on all sides in silence,
The powerful arrow cluster hit the shield, shaking the soldier's arm behind the shield, but this time the arrow cluster did not shoot through.
Instead, it was like a drift of water that had been blown away, and it plunged into the mud under the soldiers' feet,
In the face of the more powerful arrows overhead, these Lion-winged Dragon Lance Squadron soldiers just clenched their shield-holding arms and habitually tucked them in front of their chests.
The defensive shield soldiers on the periphery symbolically squeezed in, making the whole formation appear tighter and without flaws.
The heavy helmet masks on their heads have all been removed, and only at the eye level, revealing a cross-shaped gap to see the road ahead.
The knight's heavy armor is as thick as two layers, the outside is forty catties of stainless steel armor painted black, and the inner layer is fifteen catties of fine chain mail.
The long arrows of the Kugit often hit the outer inclined shield in vain, and then they were bounced away with a crisp sound, and some of the heavy armor shot into the inner armor would also be stuck by the chain mail inside.
"There is never a place for shooters on the battlefield, have these Kujit even forgotten this," Misselin, the leader of the Lion Wing Banner of Ruierdian, looked at the siege tower baffle that was about to be lowered, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth
"At such a level, it's a joke that the hand is still trying to stop the footsteps of my lion-wing dragon spear"
As the main eastern flag regiment that has been fighting against Kugit on the border for a long time, the commander of the Lion Wing Banner Regiment, Misselin, is very clear about the tactics and habits of the Kujits.
This battle was basically over when the enemy's main force on the outskirts chose to retreat in a hurry.
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 at his disposal, and he also has a powerful squadron of black flag hoplites.
The low city of Sarman, in front of his own well-equipped army,
It is a mark destined to be written, an opportunity to write your name into history
Capturing Samandu, the first important town of the Kugit royal court, will definitely bring his prestige to a new height, and it is not impossible to be promoted to a first-class earl by His Majesty
In the hearts of the Kujits, shooters are not equal to warriors, their composition is very complex, there are ordinary clansmen, and there are also famous wandering heroes,
But none of them could get rid of the reality that in a country where cavalry cluster assault is the main tactic, the cavalry shooter itself is an embarrassing depository,
Their clusters of arrows can never stand up to the heavy archers of the infantry, and even more so to pierce the enemy's heavy cavalry on the move,
In front of a dense group of cavalry, they were a group of miscellaneous troops, whose duty was either to follow the main force for auxiliary attacks, or to occasionally run out to disturb the enemy's rear
Whether it is a field battle or a siege war, as long as they can rush closely, these scattered Kugit shooters will scatter in a panic like a flock of ducks being driven.
The Lionwing Banner has encountered too many such situations in the eastern grasslands, as long as there is a large size of elite light cavalry rushing forward, these long-range attack kings will choose to retreat immediately,
Because according to the logic of the steppe people, a steppe shooter who can't even save his own life will only become the object of ridicule by everyone.
The baffle of the siege tower slammed into the city wall, and the dense black flag soldiers rushed up the city wall along the passage.
"It's time to punish these archers," Misseryn turned around with a relaxed expression, he could imagine the tragic fate of the Kugit archers who were stubbornly resisting at the head of the city,
The black flag has always been synonymous with blood and killing,
For these degenerate people who carry sin on their backs, in their consciousness, only the blood of the enemy can wash away the sins from their bodies and restore them to glory,
There was never a record of a living mouth in their hands,
Misselin knew that the battle was over, and if these archers could defeat the powerful Black Flag troops in close combat, it would be in their own dreams.
These black flags will definitely make a mess here again Misseryn looked at the black figure that had occupied the battlements in the distance, and muttered with a depressed expression,
He waved his hand to the adjutant behind him, looking tired, "I need to get a good night's sleep, remember, don't wake me up until it gets dark, no matter what happens."
"Especially about the Black Flag, who likes to torture and kill captives everywhere,
You sue Sรน Black Knight Covent that bastard, I don't have his bad and bloody penchant, and I can't wipe his ass every time" Misseryn reminded the adjutant in an aggravated tone, turning to leave,
"Boom" Just as Misserin was about to leave, a violent thunder came from behind Misserin, and the fierce fighting for several days made Misseryn feel that his head was blindfolded,
At this strange muffled thunder, Misselin looked up dissatisfied, and looked at the sky with a torrential rain
"Hell, it's terrible weather" Misserin's sensitive nose sprayed outward, and he complained with a dissatisfied expression, as a general of cavalry mobile combat, no one likes rainstorm weather,
The muddy grass will slow down the gallop of the war horse, and it will make the cavalry unit that lures the enemy leave a large number of horseshoe prints in the mud, which is absolutely fatal to the Misselin Banner Regiment who are good at ambushing.
No one will turn a blind eye to the sudden appearance of a large number of horseshoe prints,
If this rainstorm had come earlier, the plan to sneak up on Samandu would have been a joke at all,
The 30,000 lone Ryerdian cavalry will be torn to pieces by the 80,000 Kugit who are more familiar with the terrain
"Boom" another rapid and violent muffled thunder came from behind him, and this time he stopped complaining,
For he heard an uproar coming from behind him, and the adjutant standing before him had a stunned expression, and his bulging eyes gleamed with a hint of red, full of wonder and fear
