Chapter 347: Fire Reconnaissance
This dense drum beat came from the main formation, which was to cheer for the kobold vanguard, and of course, it was also urging life......
Soldiers make obedience to orders their first day of duty! The silver mastiff touched the slightly silver-gray hair on his face, and with a wave of his big hand, the forwards lined up neatly, and should move forward to the dense beat of the drum......
In the direction of the human battalion, which had been prepared for a long time, almost as soon as the kobold troops entered the firing range, a dense rain of arrows was raised. They were lightly armed on this trip, so naturally they would not bring any heavy equipment that would affect the advance speed of the army, so not to mention the huge catapults in the Sunny Fortress, or even the light ballista that only needed one horsepower to tow, and the long-range strike power could only rely on the archers......
When these arrows fired from the back, after being accelerated by gravity in the air, were about to fall into the kobold position in a dense manner, the silver mastiff let out a high-pitched howl and gave an order directly to this forward camp! The frontal warriors with iron shields and heavy shields quickly crouched down, and put their shields and all the equipment that could be shielded on top of their heads as the arrows rained down, and the other warriors quickly evacuated to the left and right......
The dense rain of arrows almost poured down, ping pong like raindrops on top of their heads, making small holes in the shields, some even inserting weak positions, shooting through the shields and directly injuring the warriors below, and some unlucky people who were not experienced enough, because their hands and feet were not well protected, they were directly hit by sharp arrows that passed through the gaps......
Without waiting for the mastiffs to count the results of the battle, William, who had been staring at the situation all the time, quickly swung his sword, and a team of strong archers who had been prepared immediately shot out another dense forest of arrows......
Don't think William is brainless. He was prepared! When it was discovered that the attacking striker was only a thousand-man team, he had already hidden more than half of the archers. These guys are constantly in a state of rest and standby. This group of strong archers was not among them, they had already bowed their bows. If it is not triggered, it should be regarded as a flaw......
This flaw is when the enemy thinks that this round of long-range strikes has been blocked by them......
This team of strong archers is different, they are selected from the various bow units, and the two criteria of arm strength and crosshair are guaranteed, so when other ordinary archers, when they use a back-fire attack, they use a direct shot!
Kobold warriors are defending against this round of arrows falling from the sky, and the vast majority of shields are defended at this angle. This led to a fatal hole in the lower half of their body!
The strong archer shoots straight ahead! This wave of arrows shot straight out, like harvesting wheat, knocked down all the strongest kobold warriors in a row of thousands of faces!
Their striking surface was not limited to the second time, the kobolds who had been evacuated left and right before were also covered by their attack range at the same time, and nearly half of them were killed or wounded......
The silver mastiff general howled again in the back, and the thousand-man squad behind stopped advancing. And the forwards, who had already lost more than half, also began to rescue the wounded, ready to take them back one after another. But apparently the human archers had no intention of letting them go, and the next volley was fired. Although they were partially guarded by the prepared kobolds, they still harvested the lives of one or two hundred people.
In the first round of attack, attack fast and retreat fast! But it's not completely meaningless!
At least. This shows that the human side is indeed prepared for a long time, and its combat effectiveness is good. Feints by small forces alone. It is simply impossible to shake the opponent. The decision of the commanders of both sides was also very fast, almost instantaneous. When the mastiff general found out that something was wrong, he immediately pulled the troops back, and their cannon fodder was also very precious. Now that enough data on enemy fire has been provided, there is no need to continue to send your men to death for nothing......
After a short encounter, there was a dead silence in front of the battle, only a few kobold wounded, still moaning low in the pile of dead people, no one continued to attack them, and no one went to the rescue......
It's not about saving Private Ryan, it's about saving people, and sending more. Why didn't the humans continue to shoot them? Because they have lost their combat effectiveness, there is no need to waste strength and arrows, and the other point is that maybe they can use them to lure more orcs to their deaths, and I believe that after someone enters the shooting range, there will be archers willing to entertain them.
Therefore, the mastiff general only glanced at it lightly, and then hurried to prepare for the later combat work...... He sensed that a new mission was coming!
Deschamps watched the whole battle, and he frowned. This kind of shooting density and intensity shows that the combat effectiveness of this group of humans should not be underestimated, and it is possible that they have left a hand. I'm afraid that it won't help to try slowly, and I'm afraid that I will have to attack on all fronts to solve the battle. He instructed the heralds to issue a battle mobilization order to the battalions, and in one hour they would launch an attack from all fronts......
Several heralds scattered in all directions, and they brought the marshal's orders to the battalion generals.
All of a sudden, there was a strange silence in front of the battle, and even the wails of injuries and illnesses slowly became almost inaudible......
As a human warrior on the defensive side, there is a lot of pressure. I don't know when the Orcs of the Path will rush up, so they must maintain a high degree of combat readiness at this time, but everyone understands that this kind of tense combat readiness is quite exhausting. William understood that the calm before the storm meant that now, the orcs would attack, that was certain. The only thing we don't know now is when they will attack and when will his reinforcements arrive?
After staring for a few minutes, William ordered his troops, generally to remain combat-ready, to generally rest in place, but not allowed to leave their weapons......
Although the waiting time was difficult, the orcs outside were still kind, and they did not make the warriors wait too long. In less than an hour, a few whimpering horns were heard throughout the sky. Seasoned veterans immediately judged that this could be a prelude to war. They barely needed to be greeted by the generals, they consciously stood up from the ground, clenched the weapons in their hands, and the recruits quickly entered a state of combat readiness under the reminder of the veterans.
"God of Light is above! You don't have to play this big in the first place, right? William pinched his eyebrows with a little headache.
He felt quite unhappy at this time, don't forget, he had reinforcements, so naturally he didn't want to join the orcs too soon. Before, I saw that the enemy was still very good, that is, to engage in a fire reconnaissance or something, which was exactly what he wanted. But with such a gang of kung fu, people are ready to stud with him.
Your sister's! Come on! I'm afraid you won't make it!
He spat on his knight's glove, then clenched his knight's sword! (To be continued......)
