The Clay shooter has pulled the bowstring 20 times in a row. This also means that 5,000 archers fired a total of 100,000 sharp feathered arrows, but in front of the shield wall of the phalanx infantry of the Jonas Legion, the arrow rain attack of the Clay tribe did not achieve any effect at all, which could only waste the physical strength of the Fiklay archers.

Of course, the commander of the Clay tribe, Semir, could not know what the result of his arrow rain was, because he could not have seen it up close, but if the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force had suffered heavy losses under his own arrow rain, the entire expeditionary force's camp would have become chaotic long ago.

At present, the situation that Saimir has seen is that the camp of the expeditionary force a few kilometers away is still quiet, and usually in the fierce battle, this effect can be achieved, one is that the enemy is all killed, this result is obviously not extravagant for Saimir, then it can only be another result: the opponent is disciplined, and his own attack cannot make them have the slightest fear.

Since the second wave of attacks was ineffective, Saimir simply ordered the offensive to be stopped, and he transferred the already somewhat tired shooters away, and mobilized an additional 3,000 new troops, only this time the shooters were in a somewhat strange position. Usually the archers will be lined up in several rows, so that the shooting in a row is easy to form a continuous offensive, and the landing point of the feather arrows will be relatively close, but now these archers are standing in a big semicircle, vaguely surrounding the camp of the imperial capital expeditionary force.

Several wagons sped by, and large black barrels were carried down, and then a warrior pulled the plug from the bottom of the barrel and began to push it along the archers who were standing in front of them. Where the large wooden barrel rolled, a black viscous liquid slowly flowed out, and even the grass that was full of vitality in summer was only stuck together by this black viscous liquid.

Several Clay warriors waited for the barrel to roll, and immediately threw the torches in their hands on the black viscous liquid, which immediately burned, and soon there were blazing flames in front of the three Clay archers who were lined up in a semicircle.

"Ignite!" With Semir's order, the 3,000 Clay archers put the arrows tied with linen in their hands to the flames, the linen had long been soaked in fire oil, and now as soon as it was ignited, it naturally immediately burned violently, "Indiscriminate shooting, release!" After the order to attack was given, the 3,000 Clay archers immediately released the fire arrows in their hands, although the number of people was much smaller than before, but the rows of meteors flying in the sky were even more oppressive.

After seeing the Clay use of fire, the Sergei infantry commander of the Jonas Legion continued to maintain the shield wall defense, in fact, in terms of the attack power of the arrows, ordinary feathered arrows are much stronger than this kind of ignited fire arrows, but the burning arrows can easily ignite the flammable materials near the target, thus causing a raging fire.

The phalanx infantry of the Jonas Legion is all composed of sword and shield warriors and spear warriors, and the solid shield made of metal is naturally not flammable, so the fire bolts are not much of a threat to these warriors, but Sergei's infantry is really in the camp of the expeditionary force after all, although thousands of people are lined up in a dense formation, they will still come into contact with flammable materials such as tents around, plus the wooden horses outside can also burn, so the fire was finally ignited.

Although it is only the height of summer, the weather tonight is a little gloomy, and the wind is not small, the fire that burned quickly spread with the help of the wind, and soon turned into a sea of fire, and the soldiers of the Jonas Legion in the sea of fire will inevitably be affected, no matter how tenacious the will, they must obey their own physique, when the arm is swallowed by the flames, no matter how light the shield can not be raised.

When a person is exposed to a rain of arrows, he will naturally die quickly, and his comrades, who were originally protected by his shield, will also be exposed to enemy attacks and killed. At this point in the battle, there were finally small casualties on the side of Jonas's legion, and the commander of the Sergei infantry in charge of the command hid under the shield and scolded loudly, while also constantly motivating his subordinates to maintain the morale of the soldiers, fortunately, this critical situation lasted for a few minutes, and soon Jonas's herald brought new orders, allowing Sergei's 5,000 soldiers to retreat 100 meters and redeploy the formation.

Sergei scolded and commanded his subordinates to slowly retreat, this group of the most elite warriors in the imperial capital maintained the tightest formation at all times, which made the arrows flying from the Clay clan powerless, and naturally there were no big casualties. When Sergei and his men regrouped and counted the number of people, they still found that more than 200 comrades had not returned, and it was obvious that they had all died in the fire.

This is also the second time that the expeditionary force has suffered casualties, and although Sergei is angry, he is helpless, because tonight Jonas has given a strict order that he can only defend and not attack. Originally, the Jonas army could also use large ballistas and even stone-throwing vehicles in such a situation, but unfortunately, because it was an expedition to the prairie, the baggage troops were all loaded with grain and grass, and they did not carry such bulky equipment at all.

Of course, Sergei's retreat also brought another problem, that is, exposing Orlando and Ryan to the front line. Although this lookout is not on the route of Sergei's march, but now that this camp is on fire, Orlando and Ryan standing on the high platform are extremely eye-catching, and there are already Clay shooters who aim their longbows at the direction of the lookout, but because the range of the Klay shooters' longbows is about 800 meters, they are almost this number away from the original Sergei's position, and now if they want to shoot at the lookout of nearly 900 meters, and they are still using fire arrows, there is no way to guarantee accuracy。

Orlando didn't care about this, he was still watching the attack of the Clay with interest, with his strength, of course, he could feel how the Clay commander on the opposite side was arranged, the 3,000 archers shot with fire arrows, which was a trap in itself, because not far behind these archers were their horses, and on their flanks, there were thousands of warriors on each ready to ride on their horses and wait for the expeditionary force to attack.

Now the night attack of the Clay tribe has carried out 3 waves of offensives, in general, the Clay tribe has killed 3,000 people, and the expeditionary force has only sacrificed hundreds of people, but it has lost a small part of the camp position, and the victory and defeat can only be regarded as equal. For the Clay tribe, they came from afar to lure the expeditionary force out of the camp, and then use their familiarity with the terrain to divide and exterminate, and now they are just setting fires, which is obviously not satisfied. For the expeditionary force, tonight is just a defensive battle, and there will be no attack under any circumstances, otherwise the attacking troops will be sent into the enemy's ambush circle because of their unfamiliarity with the terrain.
