341 Prairie Fox (2)

Be. My lord! Cocoon Lester nodded yes, and left with a few middle-aged people behind him, Misoya looked at Kleist's firm back, and nodded secretly, worthy of being a descendant of the famous Clais, Claes is a famous family in the north of Miaoerdian. The contemporary patriarch is one of the three major lords of the north.

The family itself is a legend, from Palahan to Achmore, a famous family who was expelled from Palahan with humiliation, and fought with the blood of several generations of his family. Not only has it firmly established itself in the cold north, but it is also gaining momentum and strengthening, and with the Kyoto Rebellion thirty years ago, it is the top of the pyramid of power

The powerful man in the north stomped his feet, and the royal court of Kugit trembled a few times, in the northern grasslands, you can not know who the king of Miao Erdian is, but you can't not know that this Claes family, which has 30,000 family heavy cavalry, blade years ago, the old Duke Claes is the most staunch supporter of the current king

In the Battle of Achmore the year before last, the heir of the family, General Klesenhe, defeated the tens of thousands of cavalry rescued by Kugit in one fell swoop, so that the glory of the family reached its peak.

As the order to attack was given, a group of soldiers wearing heavy armor embroidered with crosses and holding tall heavy shields in their hands jumped into the cold river in front of them without hesitation, and the rapid waves hit their feet and caused white sprays, and there was a rumbling sound on the surface of the river

This section of the river bank is the narrowest and most urgent place in the Alett River, some of the soldiers have not yet stood on their feet, they were swept away by the river, but no one flinched, they were the most elite troops in the northern army of Miao Erdian, and their murderous eyes appeared from the shield of the black helmet,

More soldiers jumped down, and the dense crowd swayed like a long black wall on the wide river, and the cold water could not cool the blood of the soldiers

"Victory! Victory!" Miao Erdian hoplites shouted, tapping their shields with the handle of their spears, and the neat sound of collision sounded like a war drum resounding across the river, with the victory of the warriors and the pride of the Miao Erdian army, approaching the Samor military camp across the river

Salon looked at the high-spirited soldiers in the river, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "***, Lao Tzu knows that you can't stay! Come on, come here, Lao Tzu has a big gift for you!"

"Your Excellency, you guessed it right, we have spotted a large number of high-speed cavalry in the scouts upstream!It will be ten minutes at most to reach our right flank!" the adjutant Catale leaned over with a strange expression, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice

"Good, it's good!" Salon raised his head to look at the river, and the line of Miaoerdian's heavy infantry rushed to the middle of the river, and the torrent hit them, forming a whirlpool, which slowed down the movement of the heavily armored Miaoerdians a lot,

"Order the crossbowmen at the front to shoot three times in a row!" Salon waved his hand with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and shouted to the heralds behind him, "Even if you want to withdraw, you must also give these Miao Erdian people a little memorial! Which squadron did not put down a hundred people, Lao Tzu removed his position!"

"Crossbow sniper ready!" The shouts of the crossbow captains came from the crossbow array, and the arrows with cold light emerged smoothly from the fence and the earthen platform, the crossbowmen were squatting or lying down, or standing, and five thousand heavy infantry crossbows aimed at the Miao Erdian soldiers moving in the river at the same time, and the sharp eyes of the crossbowmen slowly moved with the figures in the river

"Triple shot!" shouted the crossbowman squadron leader, his raised right hand falling from above in the darkness as a phantom shadow in the night, and a loud voice resounded through the night sky, announcing the death sentence for the Miao Erdian people who were struggling to advance in the river

The sound of the bowstring vibrating densely sounded in the formation of the "Collapse" Samor's army, and the whistling sharp arrows flew all over the sky, and a swift white trajectory crossed the river, slamming into the chain mail of the Miao Erdian infantry "Poof" blood spurted out from the wounds of the Miao Erdian infantry,

From the center of the river to the Samor camp is only about a hurry, the heavy armor of the Miao Erdian hoplites cannot resist the penetration of the infantry crossbow, the strong impact force makes the Miao Erdian soldier's body suddenly shocked, and he looked at the half of the white arrow cluster exposed in disbelief, his body shook in the river water, and was immediately washed away by the rushing river,

"Collapse, collapse, collapse!" The soldiers in the Inden River have not yet reacted, the front forward has been covered by dense arrows, and it is impossible to dodge in the water, in order to strive for maximum speed, many soldiers have raised their shields on their heads to cross the river, which undoubtedly exposes the front, the dense three consecutive shots are continuous like raindrops, the roar of killing pierces the sky, the crossbow salvo makes the Inerdian heavy infantry fall a piece, and the thousands of Inerdian soldiers in the front row are almost not spared, their bodies are full of white arrow clusters, like harvested straw falling one by one,,

The blood-stained corpses rose and fell with the waves, and the formation of the Inerdian army was scattered by arrows, and the neat column was full of gaps,

"Order the whole team to rush over! Be sure to hold the enemy back!" Second, Lester's eyes are red, this heavy squadron is his own effort. Dao Xunyi followed the elite specially transferred from the Claes family, and he originally wanted to show his face well, but he didn't expect to lose one-third of it in the first battle

"Woooooo

"Want to crucify us! It's whimsical!" Salon spat on the ground with a disdainful face, the "whirring" river breeze penetrated into his ears, and a slight rumbling sound could be faintly heard, Ezalon's perennial experience in leading cavalry, at most, the Inerdian cavalry that was really sneaking up on the side would arrive

"That's really fast!" Saron decisively turned his head and ordered the adjutant next to him, "Immediately order the whole army to evacuate!"

"Withdraw, quick, withdraw!" shouted the captain of the Samor crossbowmen to the crossbowmen who were still firing, the rest of the troops had already withdrawn, and Salon was left with only five thousand crossbowmen broken, and a strict order was given that those who did not obey the order would be punished as deserters, which was the second punishment in the Samar army after defection,

Once you become a deserter, not only will all military exploits be revoked, but even the land that has been distributed will be recovered.

Although the crossbowmen didn't know what the reason was for the legion commander to use such a cruel decree, they could also feel the taste of joy and danger

Now that they heard the order to retreat, the crossbowmen dared to delay, quickly jumped up from the ground, carried the heavy infantry crossbow behind them, spread their legs and ran towards the gate of the fortress a hundred meters away, and the net ran into the gate of the northern fortress, and they heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves like rolling thunder, coming from the side of the river, and under the bright moonlight, you could clearly see a large rapidly moving black cloud coming from the distant hills, as if even the moonlight could cover it

"It's dangerous!" Salon gasped as he looked at the scene in the distance, and although he had already guessed it, when he actually saw it, it really felt something else,

That huge black cloud is obviously the Miao Erdian cavalry outflanked from the flank, judging from the spread of the formation, at least more than 20,000, if it is not for his own temporary reaction, being hit from the side by such a huge cavalry cluster, the entire Samore defense line will immediately collapse,

At that time, not only will Hupollaban fall, but the main force that is fighting in Kyoto will also be affected, maybe Samar is about to touch the hand of the throne, and it will also be cut off by the sharp blade of the army that is going south, and all kinds of terrible consequences are churning in Salon's mind, thinking that he has just escaped from a sharp blade, Salone can't help but feel a chill behind him,

The black clouds spread to the empty camp along the river, merging with the Inerdian troops who had already crossed the river. The neighing of men and horses drifted with the wind,

"Victory, victory!" The cheers of victory of the Inordian troops came from the riverside, and the steppe fox Somia smiled at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand to the squadron leaders behind him, pointed to the distance and said loudly, "All the troops cross the river!" Although the Samor army was not wiped out along the river. Despite the cost of more than a thousand casualties, the crossing of the dangerous Ellet River opened the way to Huberaban, and Somya thought that this qiē was worth it, and the Miyordian troops began to camp outside the city, because the Samar army did not damage the camp along the river when they withdrew, and the Ryordian people were naturally stationed inside.

"Be happy, wait until you cry!" Salon lay on the battlements, staring at the Miao Erdian people cheering in the distance with cold eyes, "My lord, when are we going to do it?" Adjutant Kettley asked in a low voice, and Salon grinned, "Don't worry, our gift hasn't been found yet!" Order the whole army to get ready, I believe it will break out soon!"

At the gate of the fortress, a group of solemn troops lined up neatly, more than a dozen heavy ballista cars lined up in the front, and then the crossbowmen who had just withdrawn to the fortress, the heavy infantry crossbows behind them had been taken down, and the crossbowmen were concentrating on turning a crossbow arrow from the arrow bag behind the back to the arrow clip at the waist.

This is the fat man according to the idea of modern weapons to make a change, in order to solve the crossbow soldier in the charge from the arrow bag behind the inconvenience of the arrow, and the lack of the number of arrows when holding on, the military weapons institute according to the fat man's guidance, for the new infantry crossbow for the modification of a small cross-sac,

In this way, before the battle, the crossbowman can put the arrow in the big quiver behind him into the quiver in the crotch in advance, so that the purpose of increasing the number of arrows can be achieved, and the arrow can be taken conveniently

After the Samorian army withdrew into the fortress, they did not disband on the spot, but the guns did not leave their crossbows, and no one spoke when they heard the cheers from outside, and the retreat did not mean that the battle was over, because the first order they received when they withdrew to the fortress was "Kill back tonight!"
