Chapter 26: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger (13)
Rows of strong Viking warriors stood on the west side of the clearing, holding their bows and arrows at a 45-degree angle to the sky, and the sharp arrows flashed in the cold light of the spring sun.
At this time, Evan had returned to his own position, and ordered to prepare for battle, the bow was wound, the sword was unsheathed, and the earth-shattering horn sounded at the same time, and the horn made of bull's horn played an ancient and solemn battle note that resounded throughout the world.
Everything is a sign of a terrible battle to come.
Anthony and the three were awakened by the sound of the horn, and looked up to see that Evan's team was ready for battle, but the three of them were still in the middle of the field, and hurriedly pulled their horses to the back of their own team.
Just when they arrived at the team and gave the order to prepare for battle, the sound of weapons hitting shields sounded in the opposite Evan position, and the team of 10,000 people knocked on the shields, especially the sound of iron shields in the front row, and this huge sound sounded at the same time, giving people a shock.
This time, not only Anthony's soldiers were shocked by this breathtaking sound, but even the three leaders who were watching from afar and the soldiers they led were absorbed by this roar.
The three Anthony brothers, seeing that the soldiers on their side had already shown a panicked look in front of the enemy's strong strength before the battle, and they couldn't help but feel anxious, and they all drove their horses back and forth, shouting loudly to the soldiers in front of them, hoping that everyone would wake up and not be timid before the battle.
But! They were anxious in their hearts, and what they did was in vain, and their warriors just looked at the other side with a look of fear, no matter how much the three brothers scolded or encouraged, it was useless, especially those warriors who were scolded and sober, and the figures standing at this time, the arms of the weapons and wooden shields, as if they did not obey the call, were trembling.
Seeing the cowardice that his warriors are showing now, Garay couldn't help but feel more anxious in his heart, he knew that in such a situation, his side had no possibility of winning at all, and his side had been frightened by the other party, once the battle began, his side would definitely not even have the strength to resist, and the enemy would completely destroy them with the momentum of destruction and decay.
At this time, he was extremely resentful of his father, causing such a powerful enemy to their family and people, and at the same time he resented these originally strong warriors around him, but at this moment, he was so frightened that the enemy lost the blood nature of the Vikings, this result was not expected by anyone.
Originally, Gare thought, even if the enemy is strong, but it is impossible to eat their nearly 10,000 soldiers in one go, even if the enemy is really victorious, it will definitely be many casualties, and he will collapse, he believes that by that time, other enemies who are spoiled by Evan will unceremoniously avenge them and destroy the hateful Evan, so according to the development of the situation he thought at that time, even if their family and people are dead, they can also pull Evan into the water to be buried.
But the current situation made his eyes dim, and the fighting spirit that had barely gathered in his heart was also exhausted, and he felt sad for himself and for these familiar warriors.
Garay, a little disheartened at this time, listened to the sound of the earth-shattering horn and the sound of the shield beating, and looked at the frightened and trembling warrior in front of him, and a chill hit his heart, and he looked up blankly at the enemy's formation, wanting to see if Evan was smug at this moment.
But when he raised his head and looked at the other side, there was a burst of golden dazzle in front of him, which made him subconsciously lower his head and squint his eyes.
At the moment when he lowered his head, what kind of worried feeling hit his heart, and his mind seemed to grasp something? He had always suspected Evan of delaying the war from noon to evening, and at this moment Garay seemed to have scratched a trace, knowing the reason for Evan's delay.
In fact, the reason for this is very simple, that is, "sunshine, blinding sunlight", at this time their team is standing in the east, their faces facing the west, the earth is golden in the evening sunset, and they are standing and their heads are covered by the dazzling sunlight.
This makes them unable to look ahead, and the dazzling golden yellow in front of them temporarily loses their ability to see, and they cannot see the enemy's figure, how can they fight? How do I shoot an enemy? How do you fight your enemies?
In this era, there is no such thing as sunglasses, and when the eyes look directly at the sun, there is only one reaction, that is, after the eyes are irradiated by the dazzling sun, the eyes of the person will be covered with gold, and the target will be temporarily lost, subconsciously bowing the head, squinting, rubbing the eyes, and the strength will gradually recover after a few seconds.
"Bastard! Evan you despicable villain, you don't deserve to be a warrior, you don't deserve to be a leader, you're a complete coward, you sinister and cunning person, I won't let you go even if I die.
Retreat, retreat all! ”
Galley roared loudly, cursing Evan for his dastardly villainous behavior, and gave the order to retreat with all his might, but the sound he made with all his might was so small in the sound of earth-shattering trumpets and knocks that his voice was completely muffled out and perhaps only heard by the scattered frightened warriors around him.
Evan rode his horse and turned his head to look at the rocky mountains or huge mounds around him, and saw the figures standing still in groups of people, these people were obviously not from the same camp, and from where they stood, it could be seen that it was not one family that had come here to watch the battle, but many families.
Evan is quite satisfied with his arrangement, what he wants is this effect, he believes that he is so bold and bold to lead the warriors to swagger through the market, come to attack other people's territory, those who have a heart even if they don't come, they will definitely send their subordinates to observe secretly, this is also an important reason why he is not in a hurry to go to war, he doesn't want to start a war with many leaders at the same time, but he is involved in the secrets of the New World, which is tantamount to making countless greedy people red.
In order to avoid unnecessary troubles and threats, Evan thought of a countermeasure from the beginning, that is, to use his strong strength to deter those who have evil intentions, and use the method of "knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger" to nip the threat in the bud, so that those greedy people are suspicious and dare not act rashly.
Seeing that the sun was slowly setting in the west, Evan knew that the time for the Dao attack had come, and he raised his right hand and waved it down suddenly, without the slightest hesitation.
With the swing of his arm, countless arrows shot up from behind him, densely covering the sky and the sun, rushing towards the enemy position.
"There's going to be a war on the other side?"
"Ahh It's glaring! I can't keep my eyes open. ”
"I can't see the other side either1"
Hearing the sound of intensive tapping before the battle on the opposite side, the soldiers on the side of the three Anthony brothers were eager to see the situation on the other side, and were ready to fight, but the dazzling sun shone on their eyes, and they couldn't see anything? At this time, when life is at stake, everyone can't help but get anxious, and the voices of gossip and complaints come and go.
"Ahh
Just when everyone was stimulated by the dazzling sunlight and couldn't see anything for a while, there were screams one after another, and the warriors who had just regained their vision were surprised to find that their partners fell to the ground, and a long arrow was deeply inserted into his left eye, and the wounded warriors who fell to the ground, covering their injured left eyes with both hands, howled loudly and rolled loudly, and blood mixed with brown liquid kept flowing out of their fingers.
Hearing more and more screams, looking down to see more and more partners who fell to the ground, many people were shot by arrows, and did not die immediately, the severe pain made them roll and scream, those warriors who were lucky enough to dodge the arrows, their hearts were cold.
They raised their heads blankly and looked around, wanting to see where the deadly arrows were harvesting their lives, but when they raised their heads, as far as they could see, the overwhelming arrows flashed with a chilling light, coming towards them, they didn't have time to dodge at all, under such a dense attack of arrows, they only had the road of life and death for injuries.
Evan looked up and saw that when the other party was still in shock, countless lives were completely dead at this moment, and for a while, screams and cries sounded one after another, and the sight of the enemy on the opposite side was blocked by the sunlight, and they didn't know where the arrows were shot, their eyes were pierced by the sunlight and they couldn't see anything in front of them clearly for a while, they could only hear a scream from their side, and countless soldiers died in such a silent attack.
Those warriors who survived subconsciously raised the wooden shields in their hands to block, but soon they found that this was in vain.
They couldn't see the arrows in front of them clearly, because the sunlight made them wonder which direction the erratic arrows were coming from, and which direction they should defend? In addition, their wooden shields themselves are small, and they can't defend their heads against their bodies, which also makes countless people be shot in all parts of their bodies, from head to toe, and those warriors who can't die for a moment and a half let out heart-rending howls in pain on the dry ground.
"Everyone get together and form a defensive formation!"
Seeing their warriors fall like ripe wheat, the three brothers shouted at the surviving warriors with fire in their eyes, gritting their teeth and shouting at the surviving warriors, they fully understood in their hearts at this moment Evan's purpose of telling them to talk and delay, and also knew that Evan would choose to fight at such a time, their hearts were dripping blood at the moment, and they wanted to bite Evan's despicable villain to death and eat his flesh raw.
While they were directing their warriors to form a defensive formation, they were distressed in their hearts, and at the same time, a question kept flashing, according to their eyes, the two teams had gathered at least three hundred yards? It was a safe distance according to the old practice, but now the enemy's bows and arrows are harvesting the lives of their warriors? Does this make no sense at all?
