Chapter 45: Bullet Forest, Arrow Rain!

"Steady~~Steady~~Steady!!"

With the roar of Al Andegrestes, the archers of the enemy side also trotted forward under the command of the officer, and after a little calculation of the distance, the bow was full of the moon, and one arrow after another was thrown out with the wave of the flag

Pity...... Just as the officer had reported to Saru before, the snow soak and cold made most bows and arrows unusable, and out of a force of more than 30,000 archers, only a thousand or so could shoot, barely able to form a cover......

"Shield!"

Raising his head and glancing at the sparse rain of arrows, Al was slightly stunned, and then brought a look of Ran, but the command in his mouth was not slow at all, and with the roar and the wave of the flag, the shield wall that had become famous in the last battle quickly took shape again in the hands of the champion swordsman

Even the pikemen, holding their weapons in one hand, stooped down and picked up small round shields from their feet and raised them above their heads......

The next moment, under the acceleration of gravity, thousands of feather arrows reached the peak, and then quickly turned their heads and roared down, although there was protection, the number of arrows was not much, but casualties were inevitable......

Nearly 100 pikemen were shot by falling arrows and fell into the snow, the dead were silent, and the wounded kept twisting their bodies and let out bursts of terrible howls, and were quickly dragged behind by their comrades

The insignificant casualties made Al purse his lips in disdain, and as his right hand was raised, a banner with a bow and arrow pattern also painted on it in the guard's hand waved violently......

At the head of the city, more than 10,000 archers, including allies, under the command of Tyre O'Leo, divided into several rows and raised their longbows upwards at the same time, tens of thousands of dense arrows almost covered the sky and made a large shadow appear on the city walls, and behind them, more than 5,000 Stormwings crossbowmen, holding heavy crossbows from Stormwind City, were also ready for the final preparations

Unlike the enemy's ranged troops, who can only rely on experience to shoot, the archers on Leo's side are lucky to have one of the most famous archers on the continent, and a top expert who can even match the Noldor Elves

Tyr Oleo's usually cynical eyes became extremely solemn at this moment, and in an instant he had completed his prediction from the speed and remaining distance of the enemy knight's charge, and twisted a long arrow from his fingers, a long arrow that was so black and thick that Ardalian once felt death......

Bowing down and taking a deep breath, the longbow in his hand was instantly pulled into a full moon in the sound of the tooth-sore bowstring twisting, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the former [Meteorite] exhaled and shouted

"Die!"

Like a real meteor, the thick black arrow seemed to cross the space in an instant with Tyr's explosion, and even more as if it ignored gravity and the resistance of the air, and appeared like lightning in front of the leading Glory Knight more than three hundred meters away......

"Poof!"

"Puff ~ Puff ~ Puff ~ Puff ~ Puff!"

As the deputy commander, the relatively powerful Glory Knight didn't even react, and the body covered with heavy armor was slanted down from the top by the long arrow, and the body of the Glory Knight who was knocked out of the horse's back by the huge force was even in mid-air, and the upper body was completely shattered by this arrow like a broken watermelon, and countless stumps and fragments, steaming internal organs and rain-like blood were scattered from the air

After the undiminished long arrow penetrated through the body, it penetrated the heavy horse armor again and pierced into the neck of the tall and sturdy war horse, and the strong vitality of the animal only had time to make the war horse let out a wail before death and rolled and fell to the ground, and the powerful forward momentum energy even made the war horse slide out of the ground horizontally, and by the way, tripped several knights who had no time to respond

After completing this earth-shattering arrow, Tyr's face was also pale, he looked at the enemy knights who were a little scattered in the charging formation, ignoring the vertigo caused by the lack of oxygen after exhaustion, and frantically yelled at the archers who were ready to attack behind him

"Take my black arrow as the target, everyone has it, salvo!!"

At the moment of the exit of the shooting, the enthusiastic archers who had already been inspired by the majestic arrow of their commander did not hesitate to release their fingers at the same time, and tens of thousands of arrows were like locusts, covering the sky and the sun, so that there was no ray of sunlight in the sky above the battlefield, and they flew into the air with anger against the invaders

Due to the dense intensity, a large number of feathered arrows even collided in the air, without any hesitation, after the first wave of arrows, Tyre, who breathed a sigh of relief, twisted out an ordinary long arrow and brought a well-trained and condescending bow and arrow army, and once again prepared the second wave of attacks......

The knights in the enemy's charge no longer cared about the leader who was divided at this time, and they didn't care about deliberately maintaining their formation, facing the slightly instantaneous rain of arrows in the sky, even if they were wearing heavy full-body armor, their faces under the armor still couldn't help but produce irrepressible horror......

In such a situation, the only thing the knights could do was to raise the triangular cavalry shield in their hands to cover the vital and fragile parts of the armor as much as possible, and then ...... The heel of the spur kicks wildly with no mercy and hits his mount buddies to make it faster, faster, faster!

Two waves, two waves of arrows covering at the fastest speed, under the leadership of Tyr, brought more than 300 casualties to the charging enemy knights, and because of the continuous fall of the knights, the opponent's own compact and perfect formation seemed a little fragmented

However, this is also the limit of what archers can do, after all, in this era, knights are still undoubtedly at the top of the food chain on the battlefield!

The herald stopped the archers from covering their shots again, and Tyr waited with half-squinted eyes and a pitch-black longbow in his hand, waiting for the opposing infantry to come into range, and that was when the archers should really play!

Below, the enemy knights who were free from the harassment of the rain of arrows were finally about to rush to the front of the spearmen who were waiting for the battle, including the knights of glory, all the knights of the aristocratic coalition were all holding back a wave of anger in their hearts at this time, as the kings of war, when had they been so bullied and despised, and everything could only be washed away with the blood of the enemy, and these seemingly weak ordinary spearmen in front of them may be the best targets to vent!

"Steady!"

Before the contact, although Al was pulled to the rear by the two guards, his roar still echoed in the battlefield, and a drop of sweat slipped down his sideburns in such a cold weather......

Finally, when the soldiers were already on the verge of madness from fear and stress, when they could already feel the coldness of the enemy's rifles, Al finally shouted

"It's now, put!"

As soon as the words fell, thousands of spears shot at extremely close range made people at the front of the position turn on their backs, and the roughly trained spear throwers may not be able to do it because of their arm strength and accuracy, or because the wooden spears made in a temporary hurry are still relatively rough, but any normal human being, in the face of so many throwing weapons, I am afraid that they will subconsciously dodge and block......

This temporary chaos gave the other soldiers a chance, a chance to trade their lives for their lives......

The pikemen, who had long been unable to stand it, desperately flattened the spears in their hands, and the gun-like array like a dense forest protruded half a meter forward again in the disbelief and frightened expressions of the opposing knights, and it was this short distance of half a meter plus the antlers in front of them that made the contact surface of the collision between the two sides almost become a place of death!

The sharp antlers in front of him made the blindfolded war horses unaware, and they slammed into it under the urging of their masters, although the huge impact quickly knocked away the obstacles and knocked away a large group of spearmen, but at the cost of a loyal war horse also rolled over with a wail, and at the same time threw out the knights on their bodies

The heavy knights in the back row were not much better than their companions, and the spears produced in the workshops of Stormwind City were extremely hard and elastic with thick tung oil, and the pure steel heads of more than 30 centimeters had unparalleled penetrating qualities

When the first three rows of spearmen were like rag dolls knocked away by the strong impact force and penetrated by the cavalry spears, countless spears also stabbed into the bodies of the enemy knights or their war horses at the same time, and even knights were raised high by several spears at the same time......

Of course, at the moment of contact, the spearmen of the first few layers were almost exhausted while causing a large number of casualties to the other party, and they could even be called one out of ten! Purely in terms of exchange ratio, Leo's side obviously suffered a big loss, but war has never been an arithmetic problem......

The heavy casualties of his own spearmen did not move Al in the slightest, and he knew better than anyone that he could not show mercy on the battlefield, whether it was for the enemy or his own soldiers, it was absolutely impossible to deal with the onslaught of the heavily armed knights without paying enough price

With the wave of the flag and the re-ordering of Al, the still alive rear spearmen did not even have any time to fear or mourn their comrades, and under the leadership of the team, they stepped forward again, and stabbed the spears in their hands again and again at the knights who had lost their impact speed......

“!! He blocked it, this son of a bitch bastard really blocked the other party with infantry! ”

Keith looked at the bloody scene in front of him, and couldn't hold back his frenzied shouting, at this moment, including Leo, several people, including Leo, looked at Al who still didn't change their faces in the face of heavy casualties, and after a few seconds, Finn shook his head

"No, he didn't block it, he just used his life, with the lives of his own soldiers to buy time, Your Highness! Everyone looks carefully, the knights of the other side have thrown down their cavalry guns and replaced them with hand-to-hand weapons, with the advantage of war horse armor, and the knights in the group are not the existence of these spearmen who can hold on to the weapons in their hands......"

As Fein said, the coalition knights who lost more than five hundred after contact have fallen into madness at this time, and good training makes them not hesitate to throw away the riding spears in their hands, draw their long swords or war hammers, and start slaughtering the spearmen with their weapons and condescending superiority, while Leo's soldiers are now almost unable to kill the knights because of the limitations of weapons and space!

"The spearmen and spears retreat, and the champion swordsman prepares for hand-to-hand combat!"

Just when Leo couldn't help but want to interfere, a calm and cold tone spit out from Al's mouth unhurriedly, and with the flags waving wildly in the hands of the guards, the pikemen threw away their weapons one after another according to the previous order, retreating to both sides or fleeing, of course, the reserved passage did not allow them to disrupt and block the ranks of their comrades in the rear

"Champion Swordsman! Kill!!! ”

With the roar of the current leaders of the 7,500 Champion Swordsman Legion, Stormwind's oldest and most well-equipped hoplites in the regular army lined up in a neat phalanx and took a step forward......

The sword and shield crest on the impermeable shield represents their determination to never give in and face a strong enemy head-on!
