Chapter 16: Who is it?

In an instant, several soldiers with shields stood on the outermost periphery, and the swords in the hands of the soldiers with shields were relatively short, and the weapons of the soldiers of the general polar country were swords, but most of the soldiers were relatively heavy, that is to say, the weight was relatively heavy, except for the soldiers with shields, because such soldiers were already particularly heavy with shields, and if they took such heavy swords, they would definitely not be able to withstand such high-intensity battles.

However, such a sword has a very significant feature, that is, it is sharp, the sword body is narrow and thin, of course, the most important feature is that such a sword has barbs, when the sword pierces into the human body and then draws out, it is not as simple as a wound.

Although the number of people is relatively small, but the class of troops is particularly complicated, the kind of strong crossbowman and short crossbowman cooperation can also be reflected, the strong crossbow hand is relatively heavy, single crossbow, each shot needs to be reloaded, but the lethality of this crossbow arrow is huge, the length of each crossbow arrow is comparable to half a long sword.

And the short crossbow belongs to the repeating crossbow, the main effect is the suppression effect, the accuracy is not particularly high, of course, there are people who are very good at using this kind of repeating crossbow, such as Li Luo, Li Luo can play an accurate effect with this kind of repeating crossbow with a precision that is not particularly high.

In a group of three, the front is a soldier holding a shield, and then a soldier with a long sword is a little to the left, and then a little further back on the right is a repeating crossbowman, of course, the repeating crossbowman also has a sword, but the repeating crossbowman occupies a position that is further back than the soldier holding a long sword, about a distance of position.

The single-shot crossbowman, also known as the heavy crossbowman, stands next to the flood beast at this time, and is used as a precise strike.

And Shi Bozhang didn't sit down at this time, gently holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, but he didn't pull it out, and his heart was more or less nervous.

After observing the situation on both sides of the hills, it was spring at this time, and it was in the northern zone, so many weeds had not yet reborn, and it was quite easy to hide some thicker weeds for a few people.

The speed of the march was slower, and the horses surrounded the beast as a protection at any time, and the threesome team also seemed relatively reassuring in Shi Bozhang, giving people a sense of security.

But suddenly!

A sound pierced the air!

Shoot on the horse's head with a thud!

Miqiu shouted: "Converge the formation to protect the middle!" All the people stop moving forward! Crossbowmen find the enemy's bearings! ”

In an instant, the units of three people and three groups began to move closer to the middle, followed by the sound of other crossbow arrows, and the sound of breaking the air made Shi Bozhang start to become nervous!

The crossbowmen quickly flipped over to the middle of the beast, using the beast's sturdy defensive shell for protection, and let Shi Bozhang lie down, and they began to load their crossbow arrows, looking for the enemy's position.

This kind of heavy crossbowman still needs a lot of strength, and the power of the upper crossbow arrow alone needs a lot of support.

Because they approached the middle relatively quickly, there were no casualties except for the loss of a horse at the beginning, and most of the crossbow arrows either defeated the beast or hit the shield!

The short crossbowmen also quickly found the position of the other party, and began to use the repeating crossbow to carry out some suppression, but they were all extremely careful, there were people on the hills on both sides, and some figures could be vaguely seen from those weeds!

The heavy crossbowmen were not in a hurry but kept observing the position of the other party, and it was obvious that they were well-trained, and the longsword soldiers basically hid behind their shields all the time, and did not even show their heads at all.

However, it was obvious that the strength of the opposite side was not particularly strong, and they only began to charge after some crossbow sounds were over.

Didn't charge at the first time, because there was a short period of suppression of the personnel on this side at the beginning, so the best effect is to charge at the beginning, the crossbowman on the opposite side should use the parabola to avoid accidental damage, and then suppress to make the charge on his side more smooth.

However, the opposite side did not do so, and only began to launch a general attack after a flurry of crossbow bolts that had no effect.

Miqiu began the second round of command: "The main target for the heavy crossbowmen to seek, and the light crossbowmen to suppress!"

At this time, he did not give the order to let the swordsmen charge, and the second was to continue to harass the opposite side with crossbow arrows.

The distance from the bottom of the mountain to the bottom of the opposite side is about ten zhang, and the time required is about half a cup of tea, so there is no need to let your long swordsman fight against the person who is in the ascendant of the opposite slope.

The repeating crossbow was loaded again, and in an instant, about ten repeating crossbowmen instantly swept out all the crossbow arrows in their hands, and the person who rushed to the front suddenly lost more than half.

Shi Bozhang glanced at the outside lightly, all the people who rushed down outside were masked, but the clothes were tattered, and he couldn't tell what his identity was, looking at such a bloody scene, Shi Bozhang's stomach couldn't help but roll, and he had a feeling of wanting to vomit.

Even if the accuracy of the repeating crossbow is not enough, there is still a high hit rate under such a large number of repeating crossbows, and the opponent is too concentrated, so the killing effect is still very good.

Of course, it is only limited to people who are not equipped on the other side, and if they encounter heavy armor soldiers on the battlefield, these crossbows are tantamount to tickling them.

With an even heavier sound of breaking the air came out! A person was shot straight through!

This is a crossbow bolt from a heavy crossbow!

Who flew out with this man! Flew a foot away.

fell to the ground and convulsed for a long time and then there was no movement, all of which was fully seen by Shi Bo.

But the heavy crossbow does not have so much firepower, and it takes half a day after the two or three heavy crossbows pass, and the opposite side is actually already in the point of declining, and it is still about three zhang away from the soldiers in front of the shield, and it is also on a flat ground.

Miqiu shouted, "Charge!"

In an instant, everyone rushed out, and the crossbowmen put their repeaters on their backs, took out their swords and rushed out! Of course, under the cover of shield soldiers, a group of three.

And Miqiu himself did not rush out, and at this time he stood next to the Hong Beast, protecting Shi Bozhang.

The two single-shot crossbowmen put down their heavy crossbows, picked up the swords they had with them, and kept them around Shi Bozhang's position.

The number of people on the opposite side is not particularly large, when they rushed down, it was about 50 people, but there were many people in front of them who were swept down by a round of repeating crossbows, whether they were injured or dead, there must be nearly 20 people.

So the battle was basically one-on-one, but the well-trained nature of the soldiers was reflected, and a small team of three people was simply a slaughter machine against all kinds of lone people on the opposite side.

In fact, before the halfway point of the fight, the thirty people on the opposite side had the heart to retreat, and most of them did not die when the fight started, but just lay on the ground and had no way to continue fighting.

The remaining dozen or so men began to walk backwards when they saw that the situation was not good, but they clearly left their backs to the enemy, which was the biggest taboo in retreating on the battlefield.

Even if the battle is going to fail, when retreating, it should be an orderly retreat, as long as it is not the kind of collapse of the defeat, basically the retreat is to the infantry go first, the heavy armor is broken, the cavalry and crossbowmen harass and cover, and they choose to run back directly to leave their backs to the enemy, which is undoubtedly the most stupid.

The repeating crossbow continued to load, knocking all the people who were about to run to the ground.

The next thing is to clean up the battlefield, the first thing is to take all the ropes and tie them to the people, and then shoot a cavalry to the nearby town to inform the local mayor, the mayor generally has a great connection with the city lord, and I believe that it will not be long before the city lord can clean up the aftermath.

And they also pulled out the repeating crossbows from those enemies, because this kind of thing is not easy to replenish.

Of course, they didn't forget to bandage the wounded person, who included their own soldiers and the other party.

If you clean up the battlefield, you can see that your soldiers did not suffer many casualties except for some minor injuries, and the opponent had a total of 50 people, 13 people died, 27 people were slightly injured, and 10 people were seriously injured.

From this place, it is clear that there is a huge difference between some stragglers and formally trained soldiers.

Tonight is still going to hurry, so Miqiu took all the soldiers and continued to set off to the next town, originally Miqiu also planned to leave a few soldiers to guard them, but thinking that if there were still comrades in the party, it would be irresponsible to the few remaining soldiers, so he just tied them to different trees, fed them enough food and water, and left.

This is already the greatest mercy, life and death are in heaven.

"And what's next?" Mo Yu asked curiously.

"There's nothing going on next," Shi Bozhang replied with a smile, "Then I went to the town to rest, and then was invited by their city lord to the city to apologize, I promised them not to talk about it to others, and then I was really ashamed to say that the elders and the city lord were moved, I was a little embarrassed, so I delayed the trip for a few days on that incident, if it wasn't for that incident, I might have arrived earlier." ”

Mo Yu still doesn't understand something: "Then dare to ask how Bo Zhang was injured?"

Shi Bozhang laughed: This is the reason why I don't want to talk about this matter with Brother Yu outside. ”

Mo Yu was even more curious about this, didn't Bo Zhang say it outside because he didn't want to publicize it? It seems that there is another reason.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Actually, I wasn't injured by the pair of thieves, the other party was not charging at that time, and then the heavy crossbowman, that is, the single-shot crossbowman, put their heavy crossbow on the ground, and the flood beast was a little shocked, so I fell a little, and my body happened to fall on top of the heavy crossbow, so I was injured, it was too embarrassing, so I didn't talk about it outside."

When they said this, they both laughed out loud!
