"Stalp, trample!" 1,000 Clay warriors galloped. As soon as they came into range, they bent their bows and arrows and launched an attack on the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force that was holding out in the camp. However, the camp was unusually quiet, and even under the dense rain of arrows, the soldiers of the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force still chose to raise their shields high, but there was no sign of counterattack.

The 1,000 Clay warriors quickly rushed into a distance of less than 100 meters away from the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force, and the captain who led the team immediately let out a whistle, turned his horse's head and ran to the side, and the Clay warriors behind him naturally followed the leader in a big circle away from the expeditionary force camp and broke away from the battle.

Chief Abdul in charge of the Chinese army is still quiet, he has sent four such teams to test the opponent, but the opponent still remains calm, this performance is not unexpected by Chief Abdul, after all, if the opponent is very impulsive, it is impossible to choose to garrison in the camp at all, but directly lead the troops to fight.

Chief Abdul thought for a while, and decided to launch a strong attack, he waved his hand, and said to the herald who had been waiting next to the car for a long time: "Let Daoud lead the team to directly attack the opponent's camp, and Lebib will lead his troops to provide long-range support!" The herald immediately ran a few steps and turned over his horse, but Kairim, who was beside Chief Abdul, was slightly stunned, he knew that Daoud's subordinates were all herdsmen over 50 years old, and it was obvious that the chief was ready to use his life to pile up a road to victory.

Chief Abdul's order was soon passed down, and on the left side of the entire Klay position, Daoud, who had been waiting there for a long time, immediately led his men to attack, and the void left by their troops was quickly filled by the troops behind. Daoud led his troops to a stop when he was still 2 kilometers away from the camp of the expeditionary force, and he successively ordered his subordinates to line up and prepare for the attack.

At this time, a team also ran out from the right flank of the Klee position, obviously this is the army led by Leibib, this regular army of the Klee tribe soon came behind the Daoud department, but they did not take out their bows and arrows, but drew their scimitars one after another, obviously the so-called long-range support, I am afraid that it is the right to supervise the battle.

Daoud was naturally clear about the task undertaken by his comrades behind him, he smiled bitterly, pulled out his scimitar, and then roared loudly: "The time has come to dedicate yourself to the true God, brothers, rush with me!" Before the words fell, Daoud had already ridden forward, and his 10,000-year-old herdsman subordinates naturally pulled out their weapons and followed closely behind Daoud.

The distance of 2 kilometers is not far, but if the horses gallop at the beginning, I am afraid that when they run in front of the other party, these herdsmen's war horses will not have much strength, so Daoud is very experienced in controlling the speed of the horses. According to the information provided by Saimir, who failed in the night attack, the range of the expeditionary force's bows and arrows could reach more than 1,000 meters, which is why Daoud had to form a team at a distance of 2 kilometers first.

For the first kilometer, Daoud basically just manipulated his crotch horse to jog in broken steps, which was kind of warming up the horses, while he kept shouting in his mouth, telling his herdsmen to keep their formation as much as possible. As soon as Oud and his troops came within range of the expeditionary force, he began to speed up his horses, and at the same time began to order the entire team to spread out, advancing towards the enemy in a loose formation to minimize the damage caused by the enemy's bow and arrows.

Experienced commanders could naturally tell whether the opponent was trying to test or attacking with all his might, so when the Daoud division of the Clay tribe entered a range of 100 meters from the camp of the expeditionary force, Thomas, who was hidden in the camp, gave the order to shoot, and the 5,000 crossbow shooters immediately flattened their crossbows and pulled the firing frame. At such a close distance, as long as the crossbow arrow is slightly aimed at the target when fired, it is impossible to miss, and the unprotected body of the Clay herdsman is even more unlikely to block the extremely penetrating crossbow arrow, often a crossbow arrow will penetrate 3 or 4 people before stopping to fly.

The Klee herdsmen fell from their horses, and even if they were lucky enough not to be killed by the crossbow arrows, they would have been trampled to death by their comrades galloping behind them, but such casualties did not affect the morale of the Klee at all, and in their opinion, it was the most honorable thing to sacrifice for the true God on the battlefield, not to mention the generous sum of money promised by Chief Abdul. Inspired by faith and material, and in the hope that future generations can live a better life, these 10,000 Clay herdsmen frantically stormed the camp of the expeditionary force with the belief that they would die.

Thomas and his subordinates in the expeditionary camp kept repeating their work, they were divided into five rows, the first row immediately after the shot took a few steps back from the gap in the line, came to the last row of the whole line to reinstall the crossbow arrows, while the second row of shooters took a few steps forward, and the crossbow in the flat end of the hand fired by the fifth row of shooters, the first row of crossbow shooters were ready to start the second round of firing. The charge of the Clay herdsmen on the opposite side looked impressive, but it did not affect Thomas's marksmen, because they were well-trained warriors, the most elite warriors in the entire imperial capital, and they had been practicing repeatedly for the past four years in anticipation of this day of revenge. Thomas was confident that even if he led his troops to attack on the prairie, as long as the difference between the two sides was not too large, he would still be able to block the enemy's attack. Not to mention the fact that now in front of these crossbow shooters were their comrades, the phalanx warriors of the Jonas Legion.

More than a dozen rounds of shooting wiped out the entire Daud tribe of the Klee tribe, but the herdsmen of the Daoud tribe who rushed to the front were already less than 20 meters away from the camp of the expeditionary force, all of which was seen by Chief Abdul, who nodded slightly and gave the order to continue the attack. The left flank of the Klee position moved again, and more Klee herdsmen rode to the front of the two armies, and their leader, like Daoud, slowly put the formation in order, and then launched a charge without hesitation.

It's just that unlike the last time, this time, the Leibib tribe, who was originally in charge of supervising the battle, also joined the charging sequence, and the 20,000 Clay herdsmen in front of them would give these excellent warriors as much long-range fire as possible to attract the enemy's long-range fire, so that they could rush into the enemy camp. After seeing the Clay launch a real attack, Colin's longbowmen were also ordered to join the battle, and their range reached as much as 1,000 meters, enough to share the pressure on Thomas.

The drums of war sounded in the sky, and countless Klay warriors frantically shouted the names of the true god and Chief Abdul, waving their scimitars and rushing towards the camp of the expeditionary force, and they were greeted by a rain of arrows that were enough to block the sun in the sky, and the battle of Mirror Lake entered the most intense moment.

――――――*――――――*―――――― just as the battle broke out on the Ouranos Ranch and entered its fiercest heat, Ryan stood on the south shore of the Mirror Lake and looked helplessly at the calm waters. The name of the mirror lake is indeed apt, and Ryan can even see his reflection through the clear water, this reflection is so clear that Ryan can even see every ornament on his clothes from the reflection.

"Smack!" A small pebble was thrown into the lake, and the calm of the lake was broken, and Ryan's reflection naturally became fragmented as the lake rippled. Roger's hateful voice came from behind Ryan: "Damn it, it's blocked by this lake!"

Ryan smiled, he turned around and gave the order to rest for a while, and soon this order was spread, and several captains of the Windswept Archer Legion arranged for their subordinates to rest, eat, and send scouts to guard, of course Ryan would not bother with this kind of trivial matter, he slowly ate a little food, and then sat on a stone on the shore of Mirror Lake, silently waiting.

About 30 minutes later, the scouts who had released the reconnaissance road from all directions all returned, but what they brought back was one unfortunate news: there had been a fierce battle in the Ouranos Ranch in the east, and the scouts of the Clay tribe had been released for more than ten kilometers, and it was impossible for Ryan to bypass the east side of the Mirror Lake without alarming the scouts, and the scouts who were responsible for reconnoitering the west of the Mirror Lake were even more depressed that they galloped for more than 30 minutes, and still could not see the end of the Mirror Lake, according to the information obtained before, the shape of the Mirror Lake was a flat length, and Ryan They happened to be in the easterly position on the south shore of the Mirror Lake, if they planned to bypass the Clay camp from the west, I'm afraid it will take more than 4 hours. It is just noon now, and if you go around it, not to mention that the people are sleepy and the lack of combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, it is very likely that you will run headlong into the main force of the Clay tribe who has returned to the camp of the upper division, which is equivalent to sending you to death.

After listening to his subordinates' returns, Ryan just smiled faintly, but there were no negative emotions such as frustration and anger, and he lightly ordered a few words to let the Windrun Archer Legion gather. In just five minutes, 4,500 well-trained and popular shooters were already standing in front of Ryan.

Ryan first looked around, letting his eyes flow over the faces of every popular shooter, and after seeing that his subordinates were still maintaining high morale, Ryan smiled with satisfaction and spoke loudly: "Very good, I am satisfied, your instructor, Mr. Serres, did not disappoint me. ”

After hearing the lord's praise for himself, the Windswept Archer still kept his composure on his face, which made Ryan renewed, and only such an army and such a warrior could create the myth of invincibility. Ryan thought for a moment and continued: "I think the current situation between the imperial capital and Cassano is also very clear to everyone, for the sake of Cassano's future, we must defeat the Clay clan, otherwise whether we go north to regain the lost territory occupied by the orcs or go south to recover the old debts owed by the Freedom Alliance, there will be a great hidden danger behind it." ”
