Chapter Fifty-Nine: Heavy Armor Buster!
Listening to Robin Hood's confident words, Augustus also nodded: "In that case, then I will definitely follow the instructions of the Duke and cooperate with your actions!" ”
The first team of 500 knights formed a chilling wall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Like a huge tsunami, the Legion infantry rushed at it with great momentum, as if it was about to tear everything in front of them.
The streamlined armor showed a perfect arc, which made it impossible for bows, arrows, spears and other weapons to exert force accurately. Most of the time they will be slid out sideways. The tall, thick iron helmet had only a few small slits open. The narrow field of view made it impossible for the knights to see either side at all, forcing them to be more united and densely packed, as only their comrades could protect the flanks they could not understand.
In their left hand, they held a small iris shield, and the heavy armor on their bodies made it impossible for the knights to hold an equally heavy shield. The role of the small iris shield is more reflected in the fact that when the knights hedge against each other's knights, they can protect themselves by deflecting the opponent's rifle with the shield. After all, such a full-body plate armor had already enveloped the knights from beginning to end, and a simple bow and sword could hardly hurt them.
Even the horses beneath the knights were covered with thick horse armor. Only the air vents of the eyes and nose are exposed. Although this led to an increase in the load-bearing capacity of the horses, it also enhanced the horses' defense and chances of survival. Because it is often not the knight who is well protected to fall to the ground first, but the war horse under him.
If it weren't for the fact that the Rollin Kingdom was close to the Rollin Heights, and at the same time had the support of the Dwarven Kingdom's technology, it would not have been possible to create such a cavalry. The shimmering silver full-body plate armor alone was a priceless rarity on the mainland.
It can be said that if he hadn't met Allen, maybe George VI would have entered Amnuci and created his own prosperous career in one fell swoop.
But if it is if, now Rollin is fighting against the Duke of Essis, who defeated them once, Alan Ouranos.
Augustus' legionnaires were in close formation in the first row, but they were now bowed down, their large shields resting on their sides on the ground.
Looking further back, I saw that the crossbowmen of several rows of heavy crossbows had already stood in rows, and the heavy crossbows in their hands had also been wound, and special armor-piercing arrows were placed on them. Just waited for Robin Hood to give an order, and shot the other party's blood hole.
Robin Hood stood in the first row of the Heavy Crossbows, carefully calculating the distance between the Rollin Knights. Although both he and Augustus said that they would definitely be able to defeat the enemy, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart. Although in the experiment, the new heavy crossbow can shoot through the double-layer plate armor effortlessly, but when it comes to the actual combat stage, all kinds of emergencies may occur, if you can't exert your absolute strength, not only Alan can't spare him, just say that he himself, let the local cavalry rush over like this, it is also extremely dangerous.
"Two hundred meters!"
Hearing the rangefinder's shout, the crossbowmen suddenly froze, raised their crossbows one after another, and aimed through the rudimentary cross letter.
"One hundred and fifty meters!"
The crossbowmen's fingers had already hooked the trigger, just waiting for Robin Hood's order.
"Why haven't you shot yet? What is this guy doing Robin! Alan frowned and said angrily, the heavy pressure in his heart made Allen's pressure tense all the time. He understood the horror of these iron cans, and the phalanx infantry he was proud of at the beginning could not stop the other party's charge. This time, if they were to hit the legionary infantry, who was not strong against the cavalry, the casualties would probably increase exponentially.
At this time, Guy comforted on the side: "Lord Duke, believe in General Robin." At this point, you can only trust him. ”
Allen's military formation was very quiet, especially when fierce shouts of killing came from both wings, which was a little weird. Only the voice of the rangefinder kept shouting the distance. The vibration of the knights stepping on the earth in the distance reached the feet of the people, and it grew bigger and bigger, and the sand on the ground trembled with it. Everyone tensed their nerves, waiting for the final outburst.
"One hundred meters!"
"Shoot!"
When the rangefinder reported the distance of a hundred meters, Robin Hood roared, and all the pressure in his heart was released in this roar, and the sound shook the ears of the crossbowman.
Syllable!
The sound of hundreds of bowstrings vibrating strongly converged to produce a loud bang. And with the pull of the trigger, hundreds of crossbow arrows came out of the string, like dazzling meteors in the sky, and like locusts in the sky, flying forward vigorously, they were about to take precious lives!
The knights of Rollin saw the swift arrows, but they were as unconcerned as the arrogant barbarians. Perhaps they were accustomed to the strong defense of the plate armor on their bodies, and they didn't even bother to resist weapons like bows and arrows.
Of course, from another point of view, they don't have to resist. The small iris shield in their hands was simply not enough to protect their tall bodies. The dense formation also limited them to dodge. All they could do was to rush through this rain of arrows and then break down the opponent's defense line in one fell swoop.
However, the imaginary jingling sound did not sound. On the contrary, I kept hearing the sound of a doo. As warriors who have been on the battlefield all year round, knights are familiar with such voices. It was the sound of armor piercing and bows piercing flesh.
Everyone who thought of this was taken aback! Don't......!
But before they could react, they felt a pain in their bodies, and then they felt a warm liquid flow out of the gap, instantly wetting the underwear in the armor.
"Quick! Second row shooting! Third row ready! ”
The crossbowmen, who had just finished the first round of shooting, quickly crouched down and cleared the shooting slot for the second row of crossbowmen. So the second row of crossbowmen quickly pulled the trigger, and hundreds of arrows came out of the string and shot at the Rollin knights.
This time, the formidable plate armor they were so proud of was no longer able to protect their lives. The cone-shaped armor-piercing arrow directly cut a hole in the plate armor under the powerful kinetic energy momentum, and the blood groove left on it could not cause much damage to the enemy, but it could maintain the bleeding effect. When the little things add up, the knights will no longer be able to fight.
Five hundred knights lined up in a horizontal line in order to ensure the efficiency of the charge according to the traditional charging routine. Therefore, everyone was exposed to the killing range of the heavy crossbow, and under the round after round of monstrous arrow rain, they were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
