Chapter 755: Role Reversal

A war was going on on the vast plains, and on one side were knights dressed in various fur garments, holding wooden bows, and shooting on horseback.

The Attila Empire has no saddle or no such thing as a horse's hooves, and those who can shoot a bow, aim, shoot and maintain a certain hit rate on horseback are all elite knights, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as one in a hundred miles or one in a thousand.

The people with such abilities in the entire Attila Empire have now gathered here, and after losing a race with superior riding and archery such as the centaur, the Attila Empire has been severely weakened in long-range strikes, and they can only use this method to make up for this deficiency as much as possible.

Their opponent is the Baltic Empire from the south, the greatest enemy of the Attila Empire, and the most hated enemy, the two sides have been fighting each other for many years, but now they are fighting each other for the first time in many years.

Present here was a supply unit of the Baltic Empire, and about ten wagons were forming in a circle to defend themselves against enemy attacks, the outer side of the carriage was already filled with javelins and arrows, some of which were still burning with flames, but they could not do the slightest harm to these wagons.

Because of the previous blockade of Scandinavia, after occupying those cities in the United Kingdom, the first thing that needed to be solved was the problem of insufficient supplies, and the blockade for more than half a year made these cities that were not rich in life a big loss, and the people were hovering on the edge of hunger, and people died of hunger almost every time.

Thanks to the developed sea and river transportation of the Baltic Empire, most of the towns and cities were supported by the Baltic Empire through ship transportation, and the problem of insufficient supplies was successfully solved.

However, not all towns are located by rivers and seas, and some towns are located deep in the mountains and dense forests, because of the drop of the waterfall, the boat cannot reach it, and the only way to travel by land is slow and full of dangers.

Like the one that is now being attacked by the Attila Empire, it is a transporting army, and the carriages of those carriages have been specially modified to increase their capacity to transport more supplies, and they are also much better than ordinary carriages in terms of speed and defense.

The forces of the Attila Empire found this force not far from the border, and they could wreak havoc on the land after the fall of large swaths of the United Kingdom.

Use high mobility to attack hostile targets in all sights, just as the Baltic Empire did many years ago in Finland, in Karelia, in Rus.

For many days they had been hunting for prey, and it was the first time they had found the enemy, and these enemies were still transporting supplies, and the wagons must have been loaded with a large amount of supplies, perhaps with weapons and equipment produced by the Baltic Empire.

Although there were survival weapons and equipment within the Attila Empire, the production and quality were not comparable to those produced by the Baltic Empire, and there were many soldiers in the Attila Empire who took to the battlefield with wooden and stone weapons.

The things of the Baltic Empire are not so easy to take, especially in terms of weapons and equipment and other war materials a long time ago, an embargo was adopted, even if an arrow appeared in the Attila Empire, the price would increase several times, and it became a luxury that ordinary soldiers could use at all.

By the time they found out about the transport, it had actually been an hour, and the horses under them were out of breath and their speed had begun to drop, but they still couldn't get much success.

The convoy's defenses were like a tortoise retracted into a tortoise's shell, making it impossible for them to find a flaw to exploit, and they hadn't tried to break through the defenses by charging through them.

But often before they get close to the carriage of transport, they will be shot down by the archers who hide in the carriage, and the opponent is not inferior to their sharpshooters, even in high-speed movements, they can still maintain a very high hit rate.

Even if they were the most elite cavalry in the Attila Empire, the rudimentary leather armor they wore did not give them a sense of security, and they could easily be pierced by enemy attacks.

However, both sides of the war were in no hurry, they were all waiting for their respective reinforcements, and the Baltic Empire could not leave at all in this situation, their speed was too slow, and they could only wait for reinforcements to arrive to repel the attack of the Attila Empire.

As for the Attila Empire, they can't break through that layer of turtle shells, let alone achieve any victory, and now the mounts under them have lost the ability to continue fighting, and if they continue to attack without waiting for reinforcements, they may be annihilated by the other party.

Cavalry is cavalry only on horseback, and when they leave the horse and lose their high mobility, their combat effectiveness will be weaker than that of ordinary soldiers.

Both sides are now waiting patiently, they both know that there must be reinforcements behind the other side, and the competition is to see which side has the faster reinforcements to enter, and which side has the stronger coalition army.

At this moment, the ground began to shake slightly, and a thunderous sound came from a distance, it was the voice of cavalry, and the only one who had cavalry in this vicinity was the Attila Empire.

The cheers of those cavalry could be heard from afar, although they were not as good as their ordinary cavalry, but the numerical advantage was enough to break the current stalemate.

These cavalry are elite, they will not use their lives to break through the defense of the convoy, but ordinary cavalry does not have such concerns, the ordinary soldiers below have always been regarded as consumables in the Attila Empire, the difference is only whether the consumption can get enough value.

Obviously, this convoy from the Baltic Empire, full of all kinds of supplies, was worth the price of an army, because the current situation did not give the Attila Empire much time to think about it.

The United Kingdom is collapsing much faster than they thought, and the Baltic Empire, which has received the United Kingdom's land, borders the Attila Empire, and if they are allowed to truly stabilize the land, then the Attila Empire in northern Scandinavia will become very embarrassed.

They need to face the threat from the Baltic Empire, and they need to fight a protracted war for many years, and it has been proven that the Attila Empire has never been able to fight a protracted war, and its logistics system is too weak to have so many supplies to consume a protracted war.

Even if they have developed with peace of mind in recent years, the original system and congenital environment have determined that they cannot start with industrialization and commerce like the Baltic Empire.

The Baltic people, hiding behind the wagon, could already see the flying dust from a distance, and the enemies who were already in the dust on horseback and poorly dressed.

More precisely, the convoy was made up of the Yaats, who had lived in the mountains of the land for a long time, and they knew what kind of roads were the shortest, the best to walk, and the most hidden.

The Yaats had long been mentally prepared for the attack of the Attila army, and they did not feel any fear, but were very excited, and after returning to their homeland, they did not even fight a decent war.

This was indeed a torment for the war-loving, war-loving Yaats, who were eager to fight, especially in their homeland, whether against the Attila Empire, or against the original Scandinavian Empire, now the United Kingdom.

It doesn't matter if the enemy's reinforcements have arrived and their own reinforcements haven't appeared, so that they can have more time to enjoy killing these enemies.

As for why reinforcements were called, it was because the system of the Baltic Empire required that they must call reinforcements when they are attacked, and they must respond to attackers according to certain norms.

Reinforcements from the Attila Empire circled the tortoise shell from another angle, chanting gibberish slogans and beginning to hold the javelin they were carrying behind them.

The Attila Empire was a poor country, and they were also very short of equipment and weapons, bows and arrows could only be used by the elite, and ordinary soldiers could only use javelins or slings made of wood as a means of long-range attack.

Obviously, javelins that can be thrown and used for melee combat are much more popular than the slings that don't have much lethality, but because of their size and weight, they can't carry much, so everyone can bring three, so after throwing three, they can rush up for melee combat.

"Stick to the wagon, stick to the wagon, they want to shoot. ”

The commander of the transport unit shouted loudly, the wooden javelins had proven in previous battles that they could not break through the defenses of the carriage at all and hurt the Yeats who were hiding behind, so that the projectile became the only way to bypass the outer defenses.

As soon as the commander's words fell, all the warriors were already clinging to the wagon, shields in their hands, and then there was a rain of breaking through the air, and a dense stream of javelins fell on the top of the carriage and on the surrounding land, stirring up a large cloud of smoke and dust.

Dense horses' hooves sounded, and after a long-range attack, the army of the Attila Empire began to charge, but the Jeats still did not leave, because they knew.

The second wave of attacks is coming

This time, the enemy threw javelins at close range with the help of the onslaught of horses

If it was just a normal defense, such an attack would have been enough to successfully penetrate the defenses, but the wooden javelins could not successfully break through the carriage's defenses, and they could be broken or turned into splinters in the sky.

"Hold on!"

The commander's order rang in everyone's ears, and the warriors half-crouched down, adjusting their center of gravity, leaning their backs against the carriage, and then violent vibrations came from behind, and the dull sound of crashing came one after another.

The cavalry of the Attila Empire directly collided with the carriage, carrying a huge kinetic energy, like the smashing of a battering ram, making the carriage vibrate constantly, and at the same time, those cavalry and the horses under them were in such an impact, the bones of the whole body were broken, turning into soft flesh and mud.

But some of the Attila Imperial warriors had left their horses, and they were climbing up with the javelins on the wagons, and if they couldn't break through the defenses, it would be a good idea to get around them.

These were the reinforcements of the Attila Empire that came later, and the elite cavalry of Attila who had been fighting were already far away, and they dismounted from their mounts, aiming with bows and arrows.

When they are stationary, their hit rate will increase a lot, and when the white-knuckle battle begins, they will shoot cold arrows at such a distance, sniping at the opposing commander, which is a tactic they learned from Siegmund, and in the offensive and defensive battles of Upplan, because the commander is always taken care of by the elves, their charge is always messy.

Just as the soldiers of the Attila Empire were halfway up climbing, the walls of the carriage that had been sealed suddenly revealed dense fist-sized holes, and in the next moment, dense spears pierced through these small holes, piercing them.

The soldiers of the Attila Empire were also fierce, some of them had several blood holes in their bodies, and they still insisted on holding javelins to attack the enemy inside through those small holes from the outside.

In this way, the two sides began an invisible confrontation through a thick outer wall, and from time to time screams could be heard from the small holes, but more often than not, it was the soldiers of the Atira Empire who had fallen from the carriage due to severe pain.

Eventually, the soldiers of the Attila Empire managed to climb to the roof of the car, holding javelins and throwing them at the enemy below.

At the same time, the Yeats also threw axes and javelins upwards, and those who stood on the roof of the carriage became the best targets, and almost every throw could shoot down an enemy, because such a close attack was difficult for a trained soldier to miss.

But the results were slowly getting worse, because there were too many soldiers in the Atilla Empire and too few Yaats, and their attacks soon could not keep up with the speed of the enemy's rush, and the roof of the carriage was gradually occupied.

Although the enemy still had the last javelin in their weapons, this last round of javelins caused the Jeat to begin to suffer casualties, and these casualties caused the situation to deteriorate.

The horses were already neighing in a panic, scraping the dirt with their hooves, the noise around them, the screams before they died, and the smell of blood in the air, made these trained mounts lose their cool.

Some of the Yayats tried to climb on the roof of the wagon to fight the enemy, and at first they were able to drive the enemy away by force, but soon they were met with elite sniper fire.
