If this situation continues. It is not good for the Clay tribe, because the darkness will pass sooner or later, without the protection of the night, the Clay tribe who attacked at night tonight will expose the shortcomings of their own insufficient troops, and then the imperial capital expeditionary force can be dispatched in a big way, although their riding skills are not as good as their own, but the 2 or 30,000 brought are still enough to offset the mobility of the Clay cavalry, and when the raid war becomes a war of attrition, the slightest carelessness will wipe out the whole army.

The Clay commander Semir looked up at the still gray sky, and gave the fourth order of the night, 6,000 Clay warriors divided into two teams, and flanked the expeditionary force camp on both sides, they kept a distance of about 300 meters from the expeditionary force camp, and then controlled the horses to run slowly.

Once all the warriors were within attack, the Klee warriors, who had lived on horseback since childhood, drew their short bows and began to rain feathered arrows at the expeditionary force's camp. Shooting on the back of a galloping horse, due to the bumps, the accuracy is naturally much worse, but 3,000 people shoot together, and it is a fixed target, but it is not a big problem.

The chaotic and crisp sound of horses' hooves was particularly clear in the silent night, and the Clay warriors who had been ordered to shoot around the camp of the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force were led by their respective captains to fire methodically towards the target 300 meters away, and the long, sharp arrows flew mercilessly towards the target, piercing through everything they could.

I don't know who shot the feather arrow that happened to hit the temporary stable of the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force, and the feather arrow went directly into the head of a war horse, and the war horse immediately let out a scream and fell to the ground. Then another feathered arrow pierced the tent and entered the stable, but this time only through the ear of the other horse, and a long bloody streak was made on the horse's head.

The war horse was frightened and pained, and of course instinctively struggled desperately, and quickly broke the reins that held it. After losing their restraints, the wounded horses jumped out of the makeshift stables, and at the same time brought down most of the tents, and the startled horses that ran out also caused a little chaos in the camp of the expeditionary force.

The few Clay warriors who caused this result were trying to approach the camp of the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force on horseback in order to achieve better results, but their team leader ordered them to keep their status quo and continue to move forward with a loud shout, because the performance of the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force was so abnormal that even if some horses were frightened and scurried around the camp, they were quickly killed directly, and the entire camp remained calm.

The Clay warriors galloping outside the expeditionary force camp continued to maintain a rhythm and ran and shoot, but it was only ten minutes before they met on the east side of the expeditionary force camp. In order to facilitate the bending of the bow and archery, the Clay warriors used a loose formation, with a distance of 4 or 5 meters between each warrior, such a wide distance was enough for another Clay warrior to ride through it, so the leaders of the two teams of Clay warriors did not intend to turn around or complete the team at all, and directly let out a series of whistles from their mouths, and led their men to meet the companions who were coming from the opposite side, obviously they were ready to pass directly through the gap in the opposite team.

Even in the daytime with a good line of sight, this kind of crossing is not easy, especially since it is a dark night, but these Clay warriors have grown up on horseback, and such a thing is easy for them, because every Clay warrior seems unusually relaxed.

The two captains of the group, of course, were familiar with each other, and they rode at the front of the group, and at the same time drew their scimitars, and when the two opposite teams began to stagger through, and passed by their companions, the two captains struck each other with the back of their scimitars to show their respect.

The trills of the scimitars after striking each other were unusually clear in the night, and even the crisp sound of horses' hooves could not hide its transmission, but after the crisp tapping, there was a slightly suppressed whistling sound in the sky. The two captains, who were directing their subordinates with whistles, were suddenly shocked, and of course they understood what this whistling sound meant, so the two captains no longer had the same hesitation as before, but shouted loudly with all their might: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Disperse immediately!"

When the two captains shouted, the two teams of 6,000 Clay warriors overlapped each other, and the original loose formation also became a tight formation at this moment, after hearing the captain's order and a slightly suppressed whistling sound in the sky, these warriors immediately began to evade, only to find that there was not much space around them for them to move.

"Woo!" A large black cloud roared down from the front of the Clay warriors, and the Clay warriors who saw this scene were all dead, some of them desperately dodged their horses, but they crashed into their companions, both fell to the ground, and some waved the scimitars in their hands in despair, instinctively making some reactions.

When this fast-flying "black cloud" turned into a "pouring rain" and poured down on these Clay warriors, the Clay warriors finally saw that the "black cloud" was composed of countless thick and short crossbow arrows. The range of this kind of arrow fired with a crossbow is not very long, but the penetration power is extremely strong, and at a close range of one or two hundred meters, it can even penetrate chain mail, not to mention the body of those Clay warriors who have almost no leather armor and the body of their war horses at a range of more than 300 meters.

"Ahh

"Whew!" Another black cloud galloped in, and another rainstorm poured down, and the archers of the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force, who had been patient, finally waited for the opportunity to vent their anger, under the command of the archer commander Thomas, 5,000 crossbow shooters repeatedly repeated the trigger of the crossbow arrows, pouring a full 200,000 crossbow arrows on the heads of the Clay warriors, and directly west of the expeditionary force camp, the archer commander Thomas also immediately commanded his longbow shooters to attack the Clay archers who were still firing fire arrows outside the camp。 Since the warriors of the Clay clan fired fire arrows, their range was only 800 meters at most, while Thomas's men were the best archers in the imperial capital, and their longbows were enough to shoot a distance of more than 1,000 meters, and the difference in range between them was enough to determine the outcome of a battle.
