Prologue (3)-16...... Hit the trick?
The soldiers behind the barricades, in a tense atmosphere, waited quietly there—waiting to fight the enemy soldiers whom they were almost completely unknown.
The soldiers continued to wait.
"Why haven't you come yet?!...... the short spear soldier was a little anxious, he should have been afraid, he was afraid that the next existence that he didn't know at all would suddenly appear in front of them and use their completely unknown means of attack to wipe them out, along with the surrounding houses!
"They're coming!" said one of the swordsmen on the side.
Those unknown enemies, with those unknown longpole weapons in their hands, came in through the gap in the city wall.
It was the first time that the soldiers here had seen an unknown weapon that had previously existed only in the unheard of way.
"Melee soldiers, don't rush to attack!" said the short spear soldier, as the leader of this defense, to a few soldiers on the side, "Crossbowmen, you can start preparing for the attack first!"
The six crossbowmen, who were located a little behind, immediately walked up quickly, and at the rear of the barricade, they completed the preparation of the crossbows for firing.
There were a few "whoosh" sounds, and then, in the midst of the screams, the two soldiers on the other side fell.
However, the other side did not seem to intend to stop the attack, and the entire attack was not affected.
"Keep on your guard! Quickly hide under cover first! They should be lined up to attack in no time!" the spearman in charge of the command had a little idea of the methods of the unknown enemy from what he had heard about the battle before.
Several rows of soldiers immediately squatted behind the wooden boxes behind the barricades, and the soldiers with shields also raised their shields.
"I hope they can't break through this wooden box......" whispered nervously to the spearman in charge of the group.
The power of the other party's weapon, which was so great, that it could penetrate two planks at close range, and there was no problem - however, these poor soldiers, they didn't understand this!
The spearmen in charge of the command group breathed nervously and hid there.
Soon, there was a sound not far away, followed by the popping of projectiles hitting the rain-soaked earth.
However, to the surprise of the spearmen in charge of the group, the sound of the other party's attack was only a few sounds—completely different from the terrifying sound he had learned before.
Immediately after, not far away, there was the sound of the other party's order, and then a battle cry!
"What's going on?!......" The spearman in charge of commanding the group was a little puzzled, the enemies who had already divided the group before, and a group of more than twenty of them, actually began to charge directly towards them - this was completely different from the enemy tactics he had learned before!
However, the spearman immediately prepared the soldiers.
The enemies shouted and rushed towards this side.
"Crossbowmen!" shouted the spearmen.
Several crossbowmen immediately aimed their crossbows and prepared to attack.
The spearmen took a quick look at the situation of the crossbowmen, and then gave the order: "Fire!"
After the sound of the whizzing crossbow flying, the soldiers who charged on the other side immediately fell several people.
"Crossbowmen back off!" continued the spearmen.
Behind the crossbowmen were melee infantry standing in two large rows, and these crossbowmen immediately retreated from the gap to the rear as the melee infantry advanced.
Some of the soldiers of the two arms moved forward and some retreated, acting at the same time, and cooperating tacitly.
"Shield wall ready!"
In the midst of a dense rush of footsteps, the melee soldiers gathered together and set up their shields in front of them and above.
"Wait...... Could it be ...... We've been tricked ?......," the spearman tensed up and whispered.
