Prologue (III)-17 Incomprehensible Enemy Attack

"What's the matter!?isn't it?...... Shall we ...... Hurriedly. A sword-throwing infantryman on the side asked nervously.

The soldiers on the other side, shouting, rushed up.

The spearman in charge of the group did not immediately answer the question of the sword-throwing infantryman.

He didn't bother to answer now—he was going to direct his soldiers in a round of spear-throwing attacks.

"Spear throwing!"

The soldiers in the first row quickly pushed forward under the shield in front of them, tilting the shield upwards and backwards, and they left some space above the shield, and stretched their spears forward slightly to throw them, ready to throw.

"Projection!"

As soon as the short spearmen gave the order, the sword-throwing infantry quickly threw the spears in their hands.

In a chaotic roar, the enemy soldiers who were still menacing fell a lot!

The remaining soldiers of the enemy army rushed directly up and climbed over the barricades!

"Prepare for melee!"

The infantrymen in the first row immediately put up their shields and returned to their original positions.

As soon as the spearmen's words fell, there was a sound of the opponent's bayonets and shields clashing.

"Hold your formation!" said the spearmen to the soldiers carrying the line.

Then he added softly, "It's okay...... Didn't miss the ...... They didn't use this ranged attack......"

Why the opposing soldiers didn't shoot again - the spearmen couldn't figure it out at all - it stands to reason that those enemies had more advantages in long-range attacks than in close combat.

Could it be that the soldiers of the other side were hit by their own crossbows and crossbows, and they were afraid of continuing to be attacked, so they charged directly?

Or do they think that there are only crossbowmen who are not very good at melee combat?

Now, no one here knows the real reason for the direct "rash" melee charge of the opposing soldiers.

The close-quarters battle continued.

As the command of the spearmen who commanded the group to fight, the shield wall was not disrupted by the bayonet charge of the opposing side.

The opponent began to stab the gap in the shield with his bayonet, but his own soldiers hid directly behind the shield, and the enemy's bayonets did not hit anything.

"Front-row soldiers, stay in formation!" the spearmen continued, "the first two rows crouch with shields, and the last two rows of crossbowmen are ready to shoot!"

As soon as the order was issued, the soldiers in the first two rows, maintaining a defensive posture with their shields, squatted down together - the front row was half-squatting, the shields were facing forward, and the back rows were half-squatting, and the shields were continued to be held above their heads.

The soldiers on the other side continued to use their bayonets and tried to attack - however, this time the gap in the shield could not be pierced - their own shields were stacked on top of each other to form a tighter shield wall!

"Crossbowmen, shoot!"

As soon as the short spearmen gave the order, the crossbowmen in the rear raised the crossbow in their hands above the horizontal shield in front of them and quickly launched a round of attacks.

At such a close distance, the bow and crossbow can be said to be almost a hundred shots.

The enemy soldiers, who were fighting in close combat with the infantry in the front row, immediately fell down in the midst of various shouts.

The morale of the remaining enemy soldiers began to drop significantly.

One of the opposing sides immediately gave the order, and the remaining soldiers of the enemy began to retreat quickly and flee in the wilderness!

"That's weird...... It's different from what I said before......" The spearmen looked at the retreating enemy, still puzzled, "why don't they use ranged weapons?...... Instead, they will come up directly to the white-knives battle?"

"Do you want to pursue?" asked a soldier on the side.

"There is something strange about the other party's behavior...... Could it be ...... Is this a trap?!" guessed the spearman, and then he immediately shouted to stop, "Don't pursue, stay vigilant here!"

No one knows what kind of strange tactics the other side is using.
