"Drive! …… Drive! Drive! ……”

Lin Fan rode a horse and led the troops, all the way to the foot of the robbers' cottage.

The Kingdom of Swadia is located in the plains, and the overall climate is similar to that of the steppe, so there are no high mountains here, and some are only some hills and deep valleys, about one or two hundred meters high.

It's just that even so, as long as the terrain is right, it will become very difficult to attack such a place.

The road up the hill is very rough, there is only a rough path, and it is definitely impossible to get in by car, but it is still no problem to ride a horse.

The trail is a bit gentle compared to the real peaks, but the robbers have set up a checkpoint halfway up the mountain, which has the advantage of being condescending, and there are some rudimentary defenses, so you need to remove this level first to move on.

From a distance, I saw the level set up by the robbers, obviously the robbers had been operating for a short time, only some stones were piled up at the bottom of the level, and the other buildings were only wooden, which Lin Fan had already explored yesterday, and it was also the breakthrough point he found.

Since the entire robber level is wooden, it is naturally the best way to attack with fire, and this is Lin Fan to find a breakthrough point.

It's not that the robbers can't think of this, although the robbers are all illiterate, but the leaders of the leaders, many of them are deserters who escaped from the battlefield, so some military common sense is still understood, otherwise there is no way to become the leader of the robbers, and they also run the cottage in a decent way.

It's just that the robbers have a condescending advantage, and there are also wooden camps and walls, and the robbers stand on the walls to shoot arrows, although they may have some disadvantage in equipment, but in the end they have an advantage in range and power.

With such favorable conditions, the rockets of the noble troops could not be fired, and even if one or two fires occasionally broke out, the robbers in the cottage could be extinguished in time.

As the old saying goes, the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people, and now the robber cottage obviously occupies the favorable condition of the location.

It's just that having said that, it also depends on who they are compared to, for the nobles of this world, their equipment is actually roughly at the same level, so the robbers can have an advantage.

But Lin Fan is different, his equipment is purchased from modern times, whether it is in terms of material, structure, technology, performance and other aspects, it is to crush this era in all aspects, which has become a blind spot for the robbers.

Poverty limited their imagination, they just thought that a noble army equipped with bows and arrows was already very rare, and they didn't expect that the equipment that Lin Fan equipped his subordinates with was all enough treasures to inherit the family, which was simply cheating!

And the most important thing is that Lin Fan's troops are no longer the recruits before, after this period of training, there are already fifty-four soldiers, reaching the level of regular soldiers, and these soldiers are also the same as Aipu and them, all of them have been replaced with new equipment of regular soldiers.

Compared with the equipment of regular soldiers and recruits, there are two aspects of improvement, one is the armor, which has been changed from hard leather armor to iron scale inlaid leather armor, which has seventy percent of the defense ability of the full-body knight iron armor of this era, and due to the arc structure of the iron scale surface, the defense effect of the bow and arrow is better.

A soldier like this was a veritable weapon of great destruction in ancient times, with no dead ends in the whole body defense, only two eyes were exposed, and the whole team of armor soldiers rushed together to kill, and ordinary soldiers couldn't resist it at all.

Although the armor in Lin Fan's hands is far less powerful than the knight, whether it is in terms of armor defense or the strength of the soldiers, there are still great deficiencies, but at least it can be regarded as a weakened version of the knight, even if it encounters a quasi-knight, he dares to be tough, let alone just a group of bandits.

Then there is another piece of equipment that has been replaced, that is, the bow and arrow, the original recurve bow is only 30 kilograms, but now this group of soldiers has all been replaced by a 50 kilogram recurve bow, whether it is power or range, it is much stronger than before, and this is the key to Lin Fan's ability to stop the robbers remotely.

Although it is already very certain in theory, the result of such a thing as a war will not be known until it is actually operated.

Lin Fan waved his hand and instructed Aipu: "Go, send ten armor soldiers up to test it, feel the bottom of this group of robbers, and see how far their range is." ”

Soon the ten armorers dismounted, and then the giant shield stepped forward and trotted all the way towards the level set by the robbers.

The armor soldiers moved forward steadily, constantly slapping their shields, provoking and scaring the robbers to shoot arrows, and the robbers did not know that there was a deception, and suddenly some people could not help but shoot the bows and arrows in their hands.

With a "ding" sound, the arrow feather hit the helmet directly, and the arrow obviously came from a sharpshooter with good archery skills, but unfortunately, the robbers' arrows were too weak and flew directly from the helmet.

The soldier scratched his head indifferently, feeling like he had been bitten by a mosquito, and he didn't feel anything at all.

As the troops continued to move forward, the number of robbers who shot arrows increased, and the power of the arrows increased, but the soldiers carefully raised their shields, so it was basically fine.

When within 30 meters of the wall, the bow and arrows began to become very dense, and the power became more powerful, each arrow, even if it failed to break through the armor's defense, but also carried a strong impact, and the continuous rain of arrows hit down, and the soldiers also advanced very difficult.

And in addition to the impact of the arrows, the power of the arrows should not be underestimated, the distance is already so close, a few good quality iron arrows, at this time can already break through the armor's defense, a lot of steel scales have been shot concave and convex, and there are even a few arrows hanging on the armor.

Although the strength of these arrows is almost consumed when they pierce the steel scales, it is difficult to continue to cause damage to the soldiers inside the armor, but this also means that the armor defense has reached the limit, and if you continue to be beaten so passively, no matter how strong the defense is, there will always be a time to break through, after all, even steel will always have a time when the metal is tired.

Lin Fan made a gesture and directly summoned these subordinates back, the range and power of the enemy's bow and arrow have basically been tested clearly, so naturally there is no need to continue to stand and be beaten.

The robbers also noticed that something was wrong, and gradually stopped shooting, silently watching the ten terrifying armorers retreat.

Although they repelled Lin Fan's first wave of tentative attacks, the robbers did not have any happy mood, the horror of these armor soldiers, all the robbers looked at it clearly, they were shot by more than three times as many archers, and there was no problem for half a day, this terrible defensive ability, if they really let them rush forward, they felt terrifying when they thought about it.

Then the robbers looked at the wall under them, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, fortunately, there is a wall more than four meters high, and the defense is also very strong, at least the other party cannot break through it in a short time, so no matter how terrible these armor soldiers are, they can only be beaten passively below.

And if you are just passively beaten, even if it is a powerful armorer, they will all be killed for you!
