Chapter 35 The two armies are at war

Half a day ago, in the scolding of both sides, the city could not scold, and responded with bows and arrows, but the damage caused was limited, and it was blocked by the opponent's shield.

At noon, the gates of the city suddenly opened, and a group of men rushed out. The cavalry was in front, and the infantry was in the rear.

The soldiers of Davao finally couldn't bear it anymore and repeatedly asked for battle. Sparky gave the order to attack, but told them to act on the opportunistic. The situation is not good, and it is important to preserve strength.

"Marshal, I can't kill all those beasts on horseback, and I will never return to the city!" said the commander of the legion who led the troops hatefully. The Haori soldiers scolded and sweared, but someone knew his name and scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations.

Is it tolerable or unbearable! In addition, he was angry at the beginning, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to ask for battle. Sparker advises him to calm down at first, but how many bloody men can endure it?

In addition to this commander, Spark sent another commander who was friendly with him out of the city to answer him. The inside of the city is strictly prepared, in case the other party takes advantage of the victory to pursue, it will not be good to enter the city.

The army below stormed, and the catapults on the city threw down dozens of large stones. A few bombarded the cavalry in the center, but most of the targets were the infantry phalanxes on either side.

A mile apart, the castration of the stones was exhausted, and the accuracy of the head was not good, so it was difficult to cause major damage. But the focus is on deterrence, so that the infantry is afraid.

The formation of Haori's army was very simple, and the cavalry in the middle was flexible and mobile, responsible for the main attack in the early stage. If you encounter a weak one, you will kill it, and if you encounter a strong one, you will retreat. The infantry on both sides is responsible for covering the killing.

They were not afraid of the large number of people coming out of Davao, because the army was behind them. Once defeated, tens of thousands of troops will immediately be reinforced. And in the base camp, the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers are also ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

To nourish war with war is not only to obtain resources, but also to use combat training troops. In between battles, Haori's generals did not miss the opportunity to educate the soldiers and officers under them.

Soldiers who do not have combat missions today are also assembled and ready to be on standby. This is also a kind of training, to be prepared in war, to never slack off. If you want to relax, end the war as soon as possible. After victory, you can get everything you want!

The first half of the catapults in Davao City were launched, causing the Haori army who were about to meet him to hesitate for a moment before pulling out their weapons and rushing forward. Just like that, the momentum of the army is completely different.

It is very subtle, what affects victory or defeat on the battlefield, in addition to hard power such as numbers, individual combat strength, and formation, many invisible soft powers cannot be ignored. The same orders and actions, even at slightly different times, produce different effects.

Sparker couldn't hold on, seemed conservative, and was gambling. He was betting that someone would not be able to bear it and took the initiative to ask for help.

If you go out of the city to fight at the beginning, you will certainly be able to not fall behind in the terrain. But the two sides fought a positional battle, and Davao had no chance of winning at all. The military strength has doubled many times, and there are still more casualties on oneself.

Sparker gave up the terrain, and if he wants to fight today, he can only rely on momentum!

It's hard to say whether you can wait for momentum. Under the aggressive posture of the other side, the soldiers of their own side are likely to be instigated and completely lose their courage. But it is also possible to be scolded out of anger and bloody!

In the case of the former, he would have to carry out a conservative strategy for a considerable period of time, using the walls for defense. It is possible to bear the reputation of the shrunken turtle, but the other regimental commanders will not blame him and will even offer support.

Fortunately, Spark's bet was right, and the people on his side finally had blood. Then, he chose an opportunity to send ** to open the city gate and attack.

Finally, when the battle came, Haori's cavalry immediately mounted their horses and launched a hedge! The infantry on both sides stood up one after another, patted the dust off their buttocks, and lined up to meet the battle!

The first round of catapult attacks didn't hurt them much, but it seemed to hit them hard in the heart, and they moved half a beat slowly. Subtly, they no longer have the arrogant posture they had at the beginning.

The other generals didn't understand this, only Sparky understood. Because for a long time, he was an ordinary soldier, and he had experienced countless life-and-death battles on the front line, and he had experienced the taste of fighting.

Cavalry to cavalry, the first to touch. Before the men and horses intersected, they shot each other in a rain of arrows. In the confrontation, each of them fell off their horses, but the Haori army had the upper hand.

The cavalry on both sides used short bows, which were easy to carry, but the range was not far and the lethality was limited. The kingdom of Haori itself is a large country, rich in resources, and has various ores. In terms of smelting and casting, it is relatively developed, and the bows made are more refined.

Short bows are usually easy to pull away, so the strength is no longer determined by the soldier's arm strength, but by the pull the bow endures. If you pull it bigger, the bow will be damaged. The pulling force is limited, and the speed of the arrow shot will not be fast, and the lethality will naturally be weakened.

The development of smelting technology determines that Haori's bow is of good quality, and the bow of the same thickness, slenderness, length and length is greater than the pulling force of the other party. The arrows shot were more powerful, although they were also shot on the body, two inches deep into the skin on this side, but three inches on the other side, which was immediately reflected.

The generals at the head of the city saw the gap at a glance. Because the cavalry on his side fell off his horse, there were about one-fifth more than the other side. You must know that the cavalry on your side still didn't take advantage of the momentum of the forward rush.

After the arrows, the cavalrymen gripped their spears and prepared for a hard fight!

At this time, Haori's army hesitated, because they were light cavalry, and their spears were thinner. Some of the squads didn't even have spears, only knives. Their main task is not to rush and kill, but to fight on the move.

Haori's real combat power is the infantry on both sides. The infantry increased their speed and gradually bent into an arc to encircle the troops leaving the city.

The second round of catapult strikes, launched at the right time. It fell to the ground and shattered into large pieces.

It was a vat, smashed. When the fragments are splashed, a strong aroma of wine is emitted. This is the strongest liquor in Davao - voga. It is said that less than one out of ten people who can drink three bowls without falling down.

The vat was broken, although it hurt a few people, but it was a joke on the battlefield, tickling almost the same. Do you want to get the enemy drunk on the battlefield by attacking with wine? Haori's soldiers were puzzled.

Davao's next move solves the puzzle.

The cavalry, running a little behind, mounted their bows and arrows. Their arrows are not the same as before, they are on fire. Thousands of arrows were fired, and the target was the shattered vat.

At such a distance, being able to shoot can be regarded as an archer. In order not to deviate, the first method is adopted, hundreds of arrows shoot at a target, and some always hit the target.

Voga is really a good wine, and it ignites when it sees fire, which is slightly worse than oil. But the blue flames that burst up instantly engulfed the people who stepped on it.
