Chapter Eighty-Six: The Mantis Arm as a Car
After only half an hour, the highway that had been bustling just now was completely quiet, and there was not a single living person, and the dead were left behind. The ambushed escort team members did not show up from beginning to end, and the project came to an abrupt halt at the last minute.
After another half an hour, Isara, who was lurking at the forefront, breathed a sigh of relief, and the mountain barrier in the distance opened, and the enemy's main force finally appeared.
It is impossible for an army of tens of thousands of people to conceal their whereabouts, not to mention that there is a mixed army that relies on heavy weapons to fight, and they don't even send forward scouts, so they swagger out of the mountain.
The first thing that catches your eye is a team of ballistas, about 100 of them, each with a bed crossbow on it, operated by a squad of 10 soldiers. They are: two main and deputy drivers, two main and deputy sights, two string players, two support players, and the remaining two are responsible for maintenance and substitution.
Unlike the Tribal Bed Crossbows, these crossbows are equipped with a large number of metal parts, which are not only more powerful, but also have much better range accuracy, and the operators are more professional in both equipment and coordination. Seeing the enemy's main force poking its head out of the mountain like a long snake, his gloomy face suddenly became difficult to see.
Such a mechanized corps is actually very poor in mobility, not even as good as infantry, and the alliance sent them to take the lead, just to restrain Arashi's unparalleled cavalry corps. These hard crossbows can penetrate walls, no matter how much armor they are, it is impossible to protect them, and charging them is equivalent to sending them to death!
"They must not be allowed to cross the Sadol Bridge!" Ishara said lightly, and after saying that, she actually rushed out of the bushes where she was hiding and swept single-handedly towards the road.
The reason is simple, the heavy convoy could not be set up in the swamp at all, and now they were confined to the road, but once they crossed the Sadol Bridge, there were large open grasslands in the north, and there were few trees. When the time comes, the mechanical legion will open the firing formation and push forward, not to mention the cavalry regiment, even the dragon legion can only retreat.
In fact, the original combat target of the Northern Army was the Black Dragon Legion on the Black Rock Mountain.
The reason why Isara's reason for giving up stealth and rushing onto the road was by no means a reckless and bloody move, as a third-order hunter, she was all too familiar with long-range weapons.
Although the bed crossbow is powerful, it can be prepared for a long time, it is also very inflexible, and most importantly, it cannot be projectile. Now they are lined up on the road, only the first one can attack, and the rear team is almost useless.
In many cases, this is the case, and what seems to be the most dangerous place is the enemy's weak link, provided that you have the courage to face the danger head-on.
Youyou also followed, and the two of them were like lightning, spanning 200 meters in just a few ups and downs, standing on the road and blocking the way of the 50,000 army. It wasn't until they stood still that the driver of the first ballista reacted and reined in the carriage.
"Identify yourself and let the way open!" The driver, who was also the squad leader, immediately shouted and asked.
As is customary for war, Ishara responds, "I'm the Commander of the Guardians of the Falling Stars in the Arathi Basin, Isara_ Nightwind, and I ask your commander to come out and speak. ”
The driver of the first ballista was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly conveyed the news backwards, and after a while, a pure white warm-blooded war horse galloped past the side of the convoy and came to the front of the formation. The general was a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance, wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, and a bright red cloak, which was majestic.
The war horse circled in front of the formation and then crossed, and the two commanders of this battle looked at each other.
"Isara_ Night Wind? It was Your Excellency who led the envoys into Stormstorm Fortress in the first place? The Alliance Commander asked in surprise, he had heard of Isara's deeds, but he didn't think that the female leader who was full of courage turned out to be such a slender and beautiful woman.
After asking, he realized that he was a little rude, and hurriedly bowed and added, "In Lower Wendsol, the commander of the Northern Legion of Stormwind City, and the commander-in-chief of the vanguard of the coalition forces, do you have anything to communicate with?" ”
Instead of answering Windsor's question directly, Isara lowered her head, pulled a feathered arrow from the quiver, buckled it to the bowstring, and pointed it to the ground beneath her feet.
Seeing this strange move, Wendthor frowned.
Airplanes...... Snatch!
The feather arrow was driven deep into the road, and Isara took a step back, looked at Wendsol and said lightly: "With this arrow as the boundary, anyone in your army who dares to cross it will be hit head-on."
"Punching?" Windthor glanced at the empty northern swamp and smiled dumbly, "Thank you, lady, for reminding me, but I want to say ...... You're really bored. ”
After speaking, Wendsol didn't seem to even have any interest in communicating, he directly turned his horse's head and paced backwards, drew a circle in mid-air with his right hand, and said weakly: "The army continues to advance, and if anyone dares to stop without permission, they will be punished according to disobedience!"
As far as wartime is concerned, the so-called "disobedience" is definitely a felony, and there is no need to be tried, and it will be punished on the spot, and the pension will not be considered, and there will be a stigma after death.
The commander of his own family had an order, and the soldiers did not dare to hesitate any longer, and the leader of the driver gently shook the reins, and the "Long Snake Formation" began to advance slowly.
Behind him, the soldiers shouted loudly and instantly entered the battle mode. The support pressed an arm-thick crossbow arrow into the card slot, and the stringer used a wrench to put the string in place, and the sighter immediately stood up with the bracket and aimed at Isara, the whole process took less than 20 seconds.
"Go and contact the brothers in the back." Engrossed in her bed-aimed crossbow, Isara said to Yuyu, and began to retreat step by step, keeping her distance from the enemy.
Without any superfluous words, Yuyu only said "take care", turned back and ran north, leaving Ishara alone to face an army of tens of thousands. At the same time, in the bushes next to him, a jujube horse neighed and rushed onto the road, and without stopping, he pulled the saddle and galloped away.
Behind the forward of the Northern Army, Wendsol showed envy in his eyes, and said with emotion: "What a good horse!"
In all of Azeroth, there are only hot-blooded war horses in the Arathi Heights and Basin, and his Stormwind Marshal mount is just a warm-blooded horse, although he runs and carries weights very well, but when it comes to fighting, it is far behind.
Without the slightest pause, the vanguard of the army drove past the signpost that Isara had left behind, and the feathered arrow was crushed by the wheel and sunk into the mud.
Isara's steps back paused, and she spun around to exert force, and the longbow was already at the bottom.
"Put!" The striker broke off with a shout, and as soon as the words fell, a "sonorous" sound sounded, and a strong wind blew above his head, and a two-meter-long crossbow bolt blasted over.
At the same time, Isara's pupils shrank, she released the bowstring in her hand, and made a side flip to the right with great agility, which was not only fast, but also smooth and unsluggish.
Airplanes!
With a chilling tremor, the bolt grazed Isara's waist and flew into the swamp, ...... across it
Under the gaze of everyone, the speed of the arrow was unimaginable, and although the driver had been fully on guard, he still had no time to dodge. As soon as a cold glint flashed in his eyes, he was pierced through the throat by an arrow, and the huge impact knocked him backwards, nailed to the base of the bed crossbow, twitching # and unable to break free.
Directly opposite, before Isara's figure could settle, another feathered arrow flew out from an uncanny angle and sank into the crossbow cart opposite, this time falling to the main aim. (To be continued.) )
