448 Vicchia's counterattack (10)
448 Vekia's Counterattack (10)
Hunter Squad Leader Woodrus held his hunting bow, two clenched fingers open easily, his eyes fixed on a sudden figure in front of him
With a powerful vibration, a white line pierced the throat of a advancing Ryordian soldier, and red blood rushed out of the soldier's throat, drawing a red line of water in the air
Seeing that his arrow hit the target accurately, Woodrus exclaimed with excitement, "Die, Ryledian"
More than forty meters in front of him, the heavy figure of Rui Erdian was like an unkillable ghost, constantly pouring out from behind, and the dense helmets and shields shone in the sun.
As the guard fell, a Ryerdian officer with a red ribbon on his head emerged from the second row of the queue,
On either side of him, hundreds of shield-wielding Ryerdian infantry surrounded him in the middle, their heavy three-meter spears and heavy armor making them look clumsy to walk through the pile of corpses, the soldiers who had fallen in the charge ahead, and the dense firing made the Ryordian soldiers everywhere
"Come on, this is a big fish" Looking at the red cherry blossoms swaying from side to side in the distance, Woodrus's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tongue licked his dry lips excitedly,
After several hours of fierce fighting, Woodrus felt that his body did not seem to be his own, and the arm that drew the bow hurt so badly that it seemed to come out of his bones, but his hand still habitually stretched out to the arrow basket behind his back,
"Shoot him, Lao Tzu will make a lot of money this time"
The red tassel that jumped not far away made his eyes shine, and he was able to wear a colored red tassel helmet, proving that the officer in front of him was at least a flag commander.
Just as Woodrus was excited, his hand suddenly stopped, and the empty quiver cruelly showed that it was the last one that had been shot
"Hell, there are no arrows" Woodrus had to put down the hunting bow in his hand, which was still trembling slightly, and his voice showed obvious unwillingness,
He cursed and put down the hunting bow in his hand as he drew his beloved hunting knife from his waist,
There were many people around him who were in a similar situation, and mountain hunters generally only carried 2 arrowheads, about 50 arrowheads, and after several hours of fierce fighting, most of the shooters had already shot their arrows into the air
Without arrows, they had to fight them with hunting knives in their own unique formations, in groups of 10, like a circle that had not yet merged, which was the tactic used by southern hunters to hunt beasts.
"Ready for battle" was heard from the side of Squadron Leader Fordley's shout with a distinctly southern emphasis, and Woodrus's fingers clenched his hunting knife hard,
In front of him, the Ryerdian army was only ten meters away from the hunters in the first row, and many hunters raised their hunting knives high.
The footsteps of "Sasha" were getting closer and closer, and the bright red blood had stained the hard soil that had already turned the feet of the two armies into mud, and the sound of the footsteps was eerily low
The heavy gasps of the Rui Erdian infantry were faintly heard, and the dignified murderous aura and steady and neat pace showed that these soldiers were all real warriors like the previous batch.
No one can rush forward with thousands of arrows,
It is not only a battle of courage, but also a contest of wills, it is easy for a person to charge, but to make a team of people follow without fear, it is not a word of encouragement can be done.
When the hunters repelled the attack in front of them for the third time, they already knew that these Rui Erdian soldiers in front of them were different from the Rui Erdian soldiers they had encountered before.
Only the elite who ignore life and death can face the arrows like locusts in the face, and still form a formation to advance unhurriedly.
Fear of death is sometimes synonymous with madness
The army in front of them illustrates this very well, no matter how many times they are defeated, no matter how many of their companions fall, even if there is only one person who rushes through the rain of arrows, they will still rush over with their spears screaming,
This has to make the hunters, who are opponents, also give a thumbs up to these Ruierdian people in their hearts,
"Come on, let me get you on your way" Woodrus looked at the oncoming heavy spear, the hunting knife in his hand slashed a cold light, "poof" Woodrus and a Ryrdian soldier fell at the same time, Woodrus's hunting knife slashed the chain mail on one of the Ryrdian soldiers, but another spear pierced Woodrus's ribs from the side
The formation of the "bumper" Ruierdian people and the hunters collided heavily, and the spears and hunting knives collided with each other, and the corpses quickly fell on both sides.
The army of Raldian and the army of Vecchia have been fighting to the death for nearly 3 hours at the junction of the small hills, which is the center of the entire battle.
The terrain is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, and the terrain is the flattest and narrow, and the rolling hills form an upturned arc here, which is the most advantageous position for the development of the Ryordian forces in the whole area
The experienced commander of the Marquis of Willilai fell in love with this place at first sight,
After the defeat of the first major collision between the two sides, they quickly adjusted the tactics of breaking through in the center and changed them to the tactics of concentrating superior forces on the flanks and attacking the key points, and consciously continuously invested follow-up forces here.
Nearly half of the Ryrdian soldiers gathered here, their spears and shields forming a wide and thick line of attack in front of the Vicchians
This also leads to more and more soldiers here in the Vikchia army,
This flat land, which is only 30 meters, has completely become a meat grinder that devours the flesh and blood of the two armies.
Croryssatt has already put in 4 squadrons of Vykia hunters here, most of them experienced hunters from the southern mountains,
Although the Recurve Compound Hunting Bow in their hands is not as powerful as the Longbow, it has a much faster rate of fire than the Longbow in close combat, and is a great weapon against the heavily armored Ryrdian heavy infantry
Sharp Mitsubishi iron arrows can easily tear through heavy infantry armor within 20 meters, and in the dense fire, from time to time, the Ryordian infantry in chain mail screams and falls, but the morale of the Ryordian Rock Legion is still high
As the time of the two armies lengthened, the mountain hunters found that there were more and more Ruierdian people in front of them, and the powerful arrows shot over one piece, and immediately more Ruierdian people would rush up.
From time to time, a queue of Ryrdian infantry with shields and spears rushed close to the front row of archers, and the mountain hunters, with their thin light weapons, suffered a lot in hand-to-hand combat
The sharp hunting knife can split the chain mail of the Ryordian people, but it cannot form a deadly threat to the enemy, and many of the Ryordian soldiers still screamed and waved their weapons to disrupt the nearby formation even if they were stabbed a few times in the hunter crowd.
The corpses kept falling, and the heavy Ryrdian infantry spears collided with the mountain hunter's hunting knives,
On both sides, a wall of corpses nearly half a person high was piled up, and thousands of corpses were piled up on such a nearly 60-meter-long concave wide flat, which was shocking to see
The "killing" of the number and equipment was superior, and the Ryerdian spearmen finally rushed out from the front, and as the number of people became smaller and smaller, the gap in the entire front was being torn open from both sides by the Ryordians.
"Give me all the legion guards, and I can't let the Ryordians rush over under any circumstances," Croissatt shouted to the two hundred Vikian cavalry behind him, and drew his swords with a solemn face,
The battle situation in front of him has reached the most critical moment, he has just sent the last 1,000 hunters to the right line, but the rapid collapse of the left line makes him have no choice,
If the gap in the hollow on the left cannot be filled, the influx of Raldian's army will be able to encircle the Vicchian army from the left and rear of the Mountain Legions.
At that time, it will not be a situation where the defense line will collapse, in this stretching hilly area, the rout army will directly crush the longbowmen behind, and I am afraid that the entire legion will not be able to return alive more than one-tenth.
"Rush" Crowrisat brandished his sword, with the 200 behind him, and the Guards cavalry stirred into the newly killed Ryerdian soldiers like a hurricane,
The sword flashed, and the defenseless Ruierdian infantry fell, and the heavy war horses under the crotch of the guards cavalry squeezed hundreds of Ruierdian people to pieces
"What's going on" Marquis Willilai, who was watching the situation on the battlefield, quickly noticed the confusion of the left flank attack,
Although the regular army of Ruierdian has excellent combat strength, it is a long-fought division after all, and the queue is defeated, and it is defeated again after it is assembled.
Most of the soldiers were not only physically exhausted, but mentally held on with their own iron will, and in the face of the sudden attack of the Vikian cavalry, there was immediately a lot of confusion, first the striker who had just broken through was driven out, and then countless horse hooves and sword lights fell on their heads
"Mom," the Ruierdian soldier who had just seen a glimmer of victory. In an instant, they were stunned by the flashing lights of the Vekia cavalry, and tens of thousands of people on the left flank attack line were in chaos.
The unorganized soldiers were killed by the rushing Vekia cavalry, and the crying father and mother were in a mess, and the scattered soldiers were like snowballs, stirring up the infantry gathered behind in a panic,
"Vekia Guards Cavalry" Willilai looked at the chaos in the distance, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and from his direction, he could see a group of Vekian cavalry in black armor. is rampaging in the ranks of their own soldiers, and from time to time soldiers are cut to the ground by war horses and swords,
Although the number of Vekia cavalry is not large, but they are all brave and abnormal, in the face of spears stabbed from all directions, many cavalry jumped off their horses and used their bodies to open the way for the cavalry behind, this is definitely the real elite cavalry, the name of Vekia Guards Cavalry, Willlai has also heard of it
"What a bunch of fools" Marquis Willilai looked at the left flank on which he had pinned his hopes, and was completely disrupted by a cavalry of less than 200 people, and couldn't help but order a knight captain beside him with an indignant expression
"Alikara, you lead my knight squad to the left flank, and at any cost, you must finish off the Vecchian Guards"
