Chapter 206: The Fate of the World (14)
Hundreds of crossbow arrows flew towards the English longbowmen with a "flickering" sound!
They may not be as numerous as the opponent's arrows, but the momentum of the flight has stunned everyone in the 3rd Infantry Regiment of England...... The longbowmen almost watched the crossbow arrows fly towards them, dozens of crossbow arrows pierced their bodies, and the powerful kinetic energy instantly carried them away, slamming into the armored infantry behind them!
With a range of less than 200 meters, the crossbow arrow exerted great kinetic energy...... Even those armored infantry were pierced through and nailed to the ground!!
The horses beneath the ironclad cavalry began to neigh, perhaps sensing the panic of their masters on their backs...... War horses are extremely spiritual, especially when it comes to feeling the emotions of their owners.
Duke Robert the Bruce was not only furious when he saw that the warriors had brought out the donkeys to pull the crossbow strings quickly, how could they use donkeys at this time??
He clapped his hands hatefully, ah, why didn't you say it earlier, did I have any warhorses on the pasture that came in handy!!
The Scottish region is inherently ideal for large livestock.
There was a confusion in the 3rd Infantry Regiment of England, of course they did not expect that they would be the first to receive a terrible blow!
But they quickly regained their composure...... After all, those crossbow arrows are not yet incomprehensible weapons, they are nothing more than large crossbows; After all, the number of those crossbow arrows was not enough, and most of the English soldiers were not yet wounded; After all, they are still the elite 3rd Infantry Regiment, and they have experienced some bloody battles!
The rest of the Scottish coalition let out a loud exclamation at first, and then when they saw that the English longbowmen were in disarray, they immediately let out a cry of joy until they burst into cheer!
But Duke Robert the Bruce covered his eyes in agony, my God, the donkey was slow to death!
The crossbow warriors are skillful, but the donkeys are slow...... In fact, people may have done their best.
They were led by the warriors, pulled their crossbows with great force, and some of the donkeys whimpered and screamed!
At a time when everyone was only concerned about the current situation of the battle, behind the Scottish coalition army, dozens of small stone cannons were pushed out by the soldiers.
They desperately turned the two wooden wheels on the stone cannon rack to get them into place quickly...... Then he quickly fixed himself on the ground, pulled down the long throwing rod of the stone cannon, and nailed the rope on the throwing rod to the wooden stake on the ground.
Then the firing spoon was filled with a dozen fist-sized stones...... They are very skillful in their movements, and they have obviously cooperated many times.
Since most people were concerned about the current battle situation, no one even noticed the stone artillery group that was only a few dozen meters away behind them.
In fact, even if they saw it, they couldn't figure out what they were doing for a while.
That's the advantage of being able to pre-set the battlefield, everything can be prepared and measured in advance, and last night, William Wallace had already inspected the battlefield himself, and he had measured it carefully.
William Wallace had been calmly observing the entire battlefield, unaffected by any shouting and not feeling at all in the heat of his life.
He carries a large two-handed sword behind his back, which indicates that he will also join the white-knuckle fight.
He saw a commotion in the 3rd Infantry Regiment of England, but it was calm again at once.
This is really an elite army...... The bravery of the enemy will make our victory even more proud!
He heard the other man blow the brass trumpet...... This is the sound of the trumpet that makes the longbowman start shooting.
But the old-fashioned English forgot that their longbows made a huge difference only when they were dense!
The opposing longbowmen still shot the arrows in their hands, but far from the expected rain of arrows, their long arrows were scattered towards the peasant rebels.
As a result, they were easily dodged by the warriors or blocked with wooden shields, and only a few people were hit by arrows and screamed!
The peasant rebels were also a little confused, and then suddenly burst into laughter!
The English longbowmen are nothing more than that, where is the legendary power!
Some of them showed their white butts at each other, which is a great insult among men.
When William Wallace saw the good crossbows of his warriors, he drew his two-handed sword with one hand, slashed it directly, and shouted, "Waste! ”
"Suddenly!" "Suddenly!" "Suddenly!"
He watched as his crossbow bolts flew towards the other ...... But I know in my heart that if his style of play is seen by the commander back then, he will definitely kick his ass!
The Liuqiu army would never allow such a stupid standing, and then exchange casualties with the other side to see who could withstand it...... They would have fired all the rockets and artillery a long time ago, and directly smashed the opposing army!
However, this is Scotland, he didn't ask for weapons from the army, and the people here only recognize this way of fighting, he doesn't dare to change it easily!
He saw that the second batch of crossbow arrows also killed and injured the opposing longbowmen, making their formation even more chaotic!!
The enemy's most terrible weapons had not yet been used, and he ignored the eager appearance of the peasant rebels, and did not give the order to charge at all.
At this time, he saw the other party's flag-bearer holding a pennant and running in front of the formation again.
Ah, the enemy panicked and sent the ironclad cavalry directly!
William Wallace immediately raised his two-handed sword and shook it in the air...... This is the signal to prepare the stone artillery group for launch.
The stone cannon shooters all raised their axes in their hands, and when they waited for the order to be given, they cut the rope at once.
The English ironclad cavalry really began to line up...... Although they only have 300 horsemen, they have always been swords in battle, and they are responsible for cutting each other into several pieces, and then taking advantage of the complete chaos of the opponent, they will send out armored infantry to kill them one by one!
But...... They really didn't know that there was such a weapon as a stone cannon, and even if they did, they wouldn't have thought that those fist-sized stones could actually cause them great damage.
A loud brass trumpet sounded.
The ironclad cavalry began to take off.
The iron hooves of their horses began to trample across the Scottish land, and the sound was as terrifying as ever!
The ironclad cavalry was dressed in shiny plate armor, and due to the helmet and mask, it was impossible to see their expressions at all, but their pride could be seen!
Their ironclad cavalry had never been defeated since the formation of the Third Legion------ and they were just a bunch of ragged peasants with their large crossbows clearly not yet wound.
The ironclad cavalry is starting to speed up!
The English general smirked.
Duke Robert the Bruce smacked himself on the forehead in pain, God, we're going to suffer on a herd of donkeys.
William Wallace then shouted, "Stone cannon, waste! ”
In the peasant rebels, a man held a bamboo pole and shook it desperately, and the bamboo pole was only wrapped in a white rag------ it turned out that they relied on such a broken thing to deliver orders!
The stone cannon shooters cut the rope with the axes in their hands------ the counterweight of the stone cannon fell down quickly, and the throwing rod quickly raised its body and threw the stone in the firing spoon fiercely!
The clusters of stones made a graceful arc past the Scottish coalition and flew towards the ironclad cavalry as if slowly.
