Chapter 13: A Short and Bloody Battle

"Grass! Frame! In the shouts of the natives of the two islands, "go" and "go", two warriors were around Yang Tian, and the remaining twenty or so infant warriors took advantage of the opportunity of the other party's retreat in a bow-shaped formation covering an area of about one zhang.

In order to be able to quickly switch between archery and hand-to-hand combat, the Meteor Shaft Hammer is suspended from the gauntlet of the broken pole on the right arm, and the smaller, not-so-heavy wooden shield hangs directly from the left arm.

The warriors who opened the bow and arrows often held two arrows in their left hand, one heavy and one light, and the quiver was only behind them. It is clear: in the event of a decisive battle, each person does not intend to shoot more than three arrows.

In a relatively far position, there were rounds of slings flying over, but the infant warriors, who had already gained some experience and played very calmly, could confidently dodge these flying slings at a distance of forty or fifty meters or even thirty meters. When I usually train the "Leaf Soil Bomb", many people understand how to judge the possibility of hitting their own flying stones.

The fighters, who did not return fire, kept holding their bows and advanced to a distance of only about twenty meters from their opponents. At this distance, it is relatively easy to dodge the stone throwing in a one-on-one confrontation, but it is very stressful in a group of more than a dozen to twenty people.

It was at this distance that seven groups of twenty-one people, including a soldier beside Yang Tian, projected to seven targets one after another under the guidance of the team leader. In this case, the opponent is forced to block with a shield. But even so, three of the twenty-one arrows in the seven groups hit the opponent's lower body.

The short-term rate of fire of the arrows, which were originally launched in bursts with bows, was indeed much faster, and the warriors who were in the midst of projection suppression took advantage of the opponent's intention to shoot back and shot a second round of arrows and approached a distance of more than ten meters.

This time, instead of grouping up again, the fighters launched one-on-one light arrow projectiles at a distance that ensured they could hit their opponents, and at once they were able to suppress the slings that most of them had already prepared.

However, even so, the stones of seven people holding shields were thrown over, hitting the three warriors in front of Yang Tian at a distance of more than ten meters.

The level of these people's slings seems to be far from being comparable to the rumored Rhode Island slingers who were not afraid to face the Iron Age armor. Even the wooden armor, which was only about an inch thick, made the soldier who was hit temporarily stop his body as if he had been hit by a heavy punch, and he was not completely hit by the heavy blow.

"Yikes!" At this time, the people around Yang Tian shouted "kill" in the tribal language of the island. At this time, in a very short period of time, the heavy arrow landed on the bowstring at the fastest speed, approaching a distance of about seven or eight meters from the opponent, which was about five steps from the ancient Chinese standard. At this moment, the remaining strong enemies seemed to be very brave in raising their shields and javelins, and threw javelins one after another.

At a distance of about seven or eight meters, the clash of javelins between skirmishers is not very easy to hit, especially those who do not have the sense of training in ancient Roman times at all. Only two female warriors did not dodge the stone spears and javelins that were thrown at them were pierced through the wooden armor, leaving a red blood stain on the abdomen or waist.

Of course, because these stone-bladed javelins were not strong enough and were no less sharp, the damage caused by piercing the wooden armor was limited, and the two female warriors in the back row did not quit the fight.

It's just that the opponent who faced the "five-step heavy arrow close-range" was not so lucky. Only about half of the twenty heavy arrows that flew from a distance of seven or eight meters were dodged. A big reason for being dodged is that these heavy arrows are aimed at the opponent's exposed legs.

In the case of the other party, like many natives who have no sense of armor in modern times, the heavy arrows shot at this distance even if they are only very fragile stone clusters have brought a lot of damage.

There were only fifteen people on the other side, and when most of them were wounded in the legs at this time, their fighting spirit did not waver in the slightest, and they still approached with their shields and the blades of spears held in their hands.

At this moment, the people in front of Yang Tian, who was more tactically conscious, concentrated to the right at the fastest speed at a distance of about a few meters, and attacked the place where the opponent's left flank did not have the upper hand.

The spear-like javelin actually has a great advantage over weapons such as wooden sticks and hammers, but both sides have shields, and Yang Tian's side also has wooden armor, so it obviously has a lot of upper hand.

At this time, even Yang Tian seemed to be confident about the next hand-to-hand combat: the superior number of people, most of the opponent's people were injured before hand-to-hand combat, and there were melee hand-to-hand combat postures and equipment that seemed to have obvious advantages...

However, all this seemed to be unable to withstand the amazing combat power of these fierce and powerful enemies in a desperate situation in close combat, just a round of javelins in the hands of fifteen people desperately threw in an instant, and the javelins in the faces of the five infant female warriors who had a slightly worse reaction were knocked down on the spot.

Although there are also two strong opponents in melee combat, the advantages of strong enemies in this kind of hand-to-hand combat are more and more reflected.

Almost in a short period of time, the female warriors who were engaged in hand-to-hand combat were almost swept away by the opponent in a very short period of time because of their obviously inferior reactions, hand-to-hand combat, training, strength, and even slightly inferior combat mentality.

The strong enemy, who had only fifteen people left, was killed to only eleven people, but the soldiers around Yang Tian were quickly reduced from twenty-one to twelve.

What moved Yang Tian was that even in such a situation, the warriors of the infant clan still did not have the mood to fight, and what they thought of was not to retreat, but to avenge the person who had given them warmth.

It's just that at this time, Yang Tian came to his senses: even if he wins the battle with these strong enemies, it will greatly damage the basic strength that he has around him in the future. Since these people around him are not people who will lose their will to fight if they retreat, they should make a decision immediately: "Pump!" Yang Tian shouted loudly.

The meaning of this word has a special meaning, which Yang Tian has improved on some words in the tribal language of the island, and has told everyone: after retreating, the guerrilla wins. Because of this, it played a somewhat role, allowing the people in front of him to quickly retreat and disperse with him.

However, at this moment, the eleven strong enemies who had just remembered the pursuit suddenly discovered that the wounds on their legs caused by the last round of heavy arrows were by no means an existence that could be ignored in a short period of time, and many people were bleeding profusely.

When the people were ready to pull off the slings behind them and prepare to project, Yang Tian and the others had already retreated to a distance of about twenty meters.

At this distance, a skirmish projection battle between ten people is already difficult to hit a prepared opponent if it is a free engagement. But even if the people around Yang Tian were no longer able to carry out group archery due to serious casualties and losses, they could still carry out group projection under the guidance of the red arrows they shot.
