Chapter 293: The War of 10,000 People (55/103)

However, this layout also had the disadvantage of being unable to break through the defensive line, and the pace of the battle was dragged into a continuous war, which would turn into an oil war, resulting in unimaginable losses for the Prussian legion.

"Rush! Warriors! Break through their defenses! ”

Kylos stood on top of the tall chariot, his right hand clenched into a fist and pointed ahead, letting out a high-pitched shout.

Unfortunately, due to the large radiation range of the battlefield, only some of the senior generals could hear his shouts, so these senior generals shouted according to his words, and passed the words of Kyiros to the ears of those captains at the next level.

The captain shouted out with all his strength to motivate the soldiers under his hands.

As a result, this imposing sentence was conveyed to the ears of all soldiers after several transmissions.

Some soldiers heard the same sentence several times, and the incentive effect was greatly reduced, but they felt an indescribable funny.

Kyiros didn't care about that, anyway, after shouting these words, he felt much better, and the pain in his head didn't seem to be so strong.

"It's a damn headache." Kylos muttered something in a low voice, then turned his gaze to the Saxon camp next to him, and seeing that the Saxon Legion still didn't move, he continued: "This damn Saxon. ”

At this moment, Kylos had realized that his order was a little inappropriate, and it could even be said that it was very stupid, but the situation had developed to this point, and if he gave the order to retreat temporarily, his prestige would inevitably plummet.

This is a very serious consequence, and it may even trigger many bad chain reactions, so that the current Prussian army is like a bow and arrow that has been fired, and it cannot be recovered even if it wants to.

On the Habsburg defensive line, General Ike led his soldiers to wait for the battle, at this moment, all the soldiers were mobilized to the defensive line, and even the cavalry who participated in the battle last night was gathered not far behind the defensive line, and did not take off their armor when resting, ensuring that they could fight again at any time.

The remaining 28,000 men of the Habsburg Corps were all on the defensive line, and at first, General Ike also placed soldiers on the western defensive line, but after finding out the enemy's intentions, he began to order the soldiers to be drawn from the west.

The archers, the musketeers, were ready, they were a little tired from yesterday's battle, they were not in good shape, but they were much better than those Prussian soldiers.

Seeing the Prussian regiment's hoplites pressing up, the Habsburg archers who were guarding the commanding heights on the defensive line raised their bows and arrows, and the musketeers had already loaded their ammunition and began to aim.

The hoplites approached step by step, but it was the archers of the Prussian regiment who were the first to attack.

A bow and arrow swooped through the air, pulling a parabola through the air, and finally landed about ten paces in front of the Habsburg Line, which was not an attack by Prussian archers, but a captain of their archers measuring the distance, and when the distance was right, a rain of arrows followed.

The Habsburg line of defense was on a high ground, and the enemy was ten paces away from attacking before they could attack.

"Archers! Shoot! General Ike roared angrily, kicking off the big war.

The sound of bowstring concussions rang out, and countless arrows rose into the air, and then overwhelmingly enveloped the Prussian hoplites and archers.

The arrows landed on the hoplites' heavy armor, and with only a crisp metal crash, they were bounced aside.

It was not for nothing that these hoplites were called humanoid shields, and with their thick armor alone, they were more than enough to withstand most attacks.

"Ahh

The screams also rang out, and with the help of the terrain drop, these arrows were enough to fall into the phalanx of archers behind, and some unlucky people immediately fell to the ground with arrows.

There were 5,000 archers in the Habsburg garrison, and the accuracy of the bows and arrows was not high, but under the huge number, they also caused a lot of damage to the Prussian legions.

The Prussian soldiers charged a little faster, and as soon as they came into range, their phalanx of archers counterattacked.

Brush! The sound of tens of thousands of arrows rising into the air was like a fierce wind howling, and the arrows were compacted together to form a huge arrow curtain.

In the same area, the Prussian legions rained twice as many arrows as the Habsburgs.

In the face of this terrifying attack, the defenders on the defensive line did not dare to expose their bodies at all, and they all ducked down and hid under the protective fence that had been erected.

The sword and shield soldiers raised their shields and connected them to form a shield wall to resist the rain of arrows falling from the sky.

The sound of arrows piercing the wooden shield was so dense that it was feared that the shield would shatter in the next moment.

The attacks of the Prussian archers came in waves, linked together without giving the defenders a chance to breathe, and the archers of the defending army had no way to fight back, and the result of daring to show their heads was to be crucified by arrows in an instant.

Some of the soldiers who did not dodge in time were shot to the ground by arrows, and after half a minute, the corpses were full of arrows, densely packed like a hedgehog, and they were completely indistinguishable.

The screams gradually sounded, and the smell of blood began to spread, this is the sound of the battlefield, and it is also the taste of the battlefield, the tragedy of the war, like a picture scroll created by a madman, showing the madness of human nature in front of the eyes of the world.

The Habsburg defenders were overwhelmed by the rain of arrows, and the hoplites began to press forward, holding their heavy weapons aloft and roaring like beasts from their mouths.

Under the cover of a rain of arrows, the hoplites quickly advanced more than half the distance, struggling to climb over the boulders on the hillside and get closer to the defensive line.

After twenty waves of arrows, the attack of the Prussian archers finally came to an end, and they had all the arrows in their quivers, so they had to retreat to the rear to replenish their arrows and wait for the next attack.

In this sortie, all the Prussian archers carried double the number of arrows, and twenty consecutive non-stop shots almost exhausted their physical strength.

A whole 200,000 bows and arrows fell on the defensive line, and there was no open space on the side of the entire line facing the Prussian soldiers, all covered with arrows falling from the sky, some of which were even gathered together, like compact dandelions.
