Chapter Ninety-Three: The Battle of Crimson Castle (2)

I have to say that these Seremis warriors are standing so densely that they are simply the target of magic, but it is a pity that Ryan is at least 450 meters away from them, such a distance unless it is with high-level magic, otherwise the general fireball technique does not have such a range at all, and this pile is only 400 people, less than four percent of the opponent's entire force, even if Ryan destroys them all, it is meaningless to the overall situation, but it also exposes the strength of his side in advance.

"Three shots, three shots!" the archer commander of the Seremis clan shouted a loud order, and the 200 archers placed their feathered arrows on the bowstring, and then drew the bowstring diagonally towards the sky.

"Hum!" In the trembling sound of the bowstring, 200 white feathered arrows flew into the sky, because they were shot diagonally into the sky, so when these feathered arrows lost the power to fly forward, they began to dive down to the ground with sharp arrows, and their target was the seventh and eighth rows of soldiers at the forefront of the Chinese army to which Adams belonged.

As early as when Edward's army strode forward, Adams had already ordered his sword and shield warriors to get ready, and when they saw a piece of arrows flying from the other side, those sword and shield warriors obediently raised the round shield in their hands without the commander's order. These round shields are made of wood, and in order to ensure the sturdiness of the shields, a thin layer of iron is also wrapped around the surface of the shields, which is designed to block arrows flying in the distance.

A crisp crash came out continuously, mixed with about 20 screams, mainly because the area of the round shield was not enough to cover the entire human body, and there would always be arrows passing through the gaps in the shield, mercilessly biting into the warriors of the Saranal family.

As long as the body is hit by an arrow, the sword and shield warriors will inevitably be unable to hold the shield because of the severe pain, and in this way, they will lose the means to continue to protect themselves, in the second and third throws that followed, the screams increased significantly, and many warriors of the Saranal family were even shot directly in the head, and they fell to the ground and died on the spot without even making a scream.

Theoretically, if the shooters of the Thremis family continue to shoot, it is enough to defeat the Saranar family warriors in the range, but the combat power of these shooters cannot be compared with those elite shooters of the Thor Fortress, they can shoot at most six or seven times in a row and then they can not continue to pull the bowstring because of the weakness of the arm, in order to ensure that these shooters will not have to leave the field at the beginning of the battle, their bow and arrow commander chose the safest way to shoot, and immediately rest for a while after three consecutive projectiles, until the arm regains strength before continuing to shoot。

It was precisely because of this gap that Adams had the opportunity to redeploy new sword and shield warriors to the front, while dragging the wounded and dead soldiers to the rear, and after a few minutes of scramble, the second round of projectiles from the Thremis family came. This time, the warriors of the Saranal family were much more well-behaved, they were close to each other, their shields facing the sky diagonally, and the strength of more than a thousand people formed a strong shield wall on their forward positions.

This time, the three rounds of the Thremisian archer's three shots did not achieve the desired results, and almost all the feathered arrows were bounced off by the shield, and the archer was a little unconvinced, and was about to give the order to continue shooting, when Edward's herald came to his side and ordered him to stop shooting and stand by.

Edward's attack was a small test, and he would never have thought that such a single shot would seal the victory. Due to the large number of people in the battle between the large armies, and most of the troops on both sides were put together on an improvised basis, the combat effectiveness was not strong, and the discipline was poor, so the relationship between the victory and defeat of the battle and the morale of the soldiers on both sides was very important.

Imagine, in the process of this kind of military formation, the people standing behind can't see the opponent's fighters at all, what they can see is their own vanguard troops, if their own vanguard suddenly collapses, even if it is just a small retreat of the main general's deployment of troops, it may have a negative impact on the fighters behind, and their opponents can use this opportunity to launch a fatal blow to hit the already wavering morale, so as to force the morale of the whole army to waver, once there is a large-scale rout, then it is almost impossible to regroup on the battlefieldIn that case, it means that the victory and defeat have been divided.

This is the purpose of Edward's use of archers to harass the other party, but unfortunately although Adams's Chinese army is a little chaotic, but there is no big flaw in the whole, if Edward has a large number of cavalry, he can launch a charge to turn this chaos into a rout, but if he charges with infantry, the distance of 500 meters in the middle will run for several minutes. Perhaps before these soldiers could run in front of each other, the opponent's confusion would be corrected, and the infantry whose physical strength had been greatly reduced due to their rapid sprinting would be sent up to become the target of the opponent's slaughter.

"Well, it seems that Adams's Chinese army is still very stable. After looking at the fairly neat lineup on the opposite side, Edward turned his gaze to his right, that is, Adams's left flank formation, and when he saw the 1,000 soldiers wearing a rather tattered line-up, Edward smiled and said to himself: "I don't know how long your left flank can hold out." ”

"Pass my order, push the catapult forward to the shooter's position, and the right flank of our army is ready to attack at any time. Edward gave his order softly, he decided to use the catapult to suppress the opponent's left flank position, forcing the enemy to disperse, if Adams charged the whole army to fight or the whole army retreated, as long as the opponent's formation was disorganized, his strongest right flank could launch an attack, completely smashing the opponent's will to resist.

"Crunch, crunch!" the wooden wheel groaned in pain, because the weight of the ten stone throwing carts on it was a huge catapult, each of the ten stone throwing carts weighed fifteen adult men, which was also the secret weapon of Edward's trip to Salanal, because the previous battle was very smooth, it was not possible to use this terrible battlefield weapon, so the scouts of the Salanal family could not find their traces.

"Damn!" Vivien, of course, knew how threatening this kind of catapult was, and she would be very passive when she defended the danger, not to mention that she was now twice as big as her opponent on the battlefield, she would not think that the heads of her men could be harder than a solid stone wall.

"What to do? Fabia. Vivian pinned her hopes on Ryan at this dilemma, and Ryan, who was standing beside Vivian in a miscellaneous soldier costume, stood there expressionlessly, and after hearing Vivian's question, Ryan smiled at the beautiful warrior and said, "The show begins!"
