Chapter 129: Fight to Fame
"This hellish weather is really a little cold ()!" "Yes, otherwise, how could we all be arranged for us recruits in the second half of the night?" "Stay up." After two years, we will become veterans, and we can sleep well. "Right now, I don't know when I'm fighting all day long, I'm afraid that I won't survive until that day, and I'll lie on the battlefield and fall asleep forever ()." "Phew, don't be upset, I told the guy in the house that I would climb back even if I climbed!" Outside the town of Cross, two sentries of the 3rd Division and 1st Regiment of the Right Route Army were standing outside the camp gate chatting to pass the sad time of the second half of the night.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound in the west. "Did it thunder?" "No, you see the sky is still full of stars!"
The loud noise was getting closer and closer, and the ground trembled slightly. On the western horizon, a looming black cloud was drifting rapidly in the direction of a clump. "Is it cavalry? Which army is moving in the middle of the night?" asked one of the soldiers. In his mind, only his own army would appear at this time. "It's the cavalry of the enemy. Carefully contemplating the other soldier's face, Sè turned pale, "Bao Jing!"
As soon as he spoke, two feathered arrows broke through the air and landed in the throats of the two sentinels. Took away their dreams of becoming veterans and returning home, leaving them forever in the enemy's homeland.
The hurried horn sounded anyway. A group of dark sentinels succeeded in sending out the news of the enemy attack, but it seemed to be a little late.
Under the leadership of Anthony, the three thousand cavalry were like a sharp spear with sufficient strength, and under the cover of the night, it plunged straight into the chest of a group. The simple fortifications outside the camp, such as horse pits and fences, were insignificant in the face of these cavalrymen who had long been immersed in horsemanship. In the face of the murderous cavalry, a regiment is like a woman stripped naked in front of a hungry man, and nothing can stop them from launching a powerful onslaught, waiting for a regiment of soldiers to brutally ravage.
In the flickering cold light, one by one the Asman soldiers rushed out of the tent with sleepy eyes, and they were knocked to the ground. Blood splattered. The wounded, moaning man soon heard the crisp and frightening sound of the horse's hooves crushing his bones.
As Anthony and his men moved deeper into the camp of the regiment, torches were lit everywhere, and the devastated officers shouted loudly to gather their troops and prepare for a counterattack. The panicked soldiers slowly gathered together under the leadership of their officers.
But this scene did not last long, and the stray arrows that shri came out of the darkness hit the officers who were shouting loudly, and quickly shut them up. The sniper archers attached to the cavalry battalion were mixed in the middle of the cavalry, and at this moment they showed great power.
Ryan watched his men's performance with satisfaction and continued to search for his prey. For him, an ordinary officer did not seem worthy of his shot. He needed to keep his stamina and composure enough to find the heavy enough of the Asmans to strike and strike a lethal blow that would cause even more chaos. It was under such circumstances that the head of a regiment crashed into Ryan's hands. When he appeared under the protection of a group of guards, a regiment of soldiers became perked up and attacked the cavalry under his command. "The archers gave me arrows. “
Looking at the rampaging enemy, while his own cavalry was temporarily difficult to gather, he shouted. "Don't regret what you say. “
Ryan sneered, raised his hand, put the long arrow on the string, and then slammed the bow, a cold arrow was as fast as a streamer, and the accurate shè entered the mouth of the regiment leader, and the huge force knocked him to the ground, seeing that he could not live. Pulling out a feathered arrow and blowing on the tip of the arrow, Ryan rode his horse and began to look for a new target.
Seeing that every officer who shouted to his subordinates was quickly killed, the remaining officers no longer dared to shout, and some even ordered their subordinates to throw away the torches in their hands, lest they attract the attention of the god of death.
The Asman soldiers, having lost their officer's command in the dark of night, plunged back into chaos. Countless people began to flee in all directions, and in the face of the sudden attack, they could no longer have the courage to resist (). No one knew what could be done to stop the slaughter of these executioners. Military discipline that binds soldiers is only effective when officers are present.
Anthony led the cavalry battalion from the west to the east, and then gave the order crisply. "Camp!"
Three thousand men re-entered the camp in a regiment that was nimbly around the east. The Asman soldiers, who were busy fleeing for their lives, were once again brutally slaughtered, and even the corpses of the ground did not escape the tragic fate, and were trampled by the war horses and sparkled with blood. Screams came one after another, the dead lay quietly on the ground, and the living were shrouded in the shadow of death at any time. The tent was lit by scattered torches, and the light of the fire lit up the night sky.
An Asman officer struggled to his feet from the pile of soldiers' corpses and slashed the arrow that slashed into his left eye. Looking at the tragic situation around, he opened his eyes with one eye, brandished a big knife, and roared in a sad voice: "*** The detractors of the despicable sneak attack are kind of coming at me." But he forgot that all this was the inevitable fate of the invaders.
"It's a man who gives him a good time. ”
Anthony's words landed and Ryan waved his hand.
The officer's face was screamed like a hedgehog by a dense rain of arrows, and he fell to the ground, writhing his body in pain, and being a hero often had to pay a heavy price.
Anthony looked at Ryan helplessly and shook his head.
"Jing Lingqi shè isn't happy enough?" Ryan said confusedly.
Hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance, and several other regiments stationed outside the town of Cross had heard the news and rushed to reinforce them.
At this time, a regiment had been basically paralyzed in the raid. Seeing that it was almost time, Anthony gave the order to retreat. The cavalry battalion quickly broke away from the battlefield and headed west.
The overall quality of the Asman army was high. The reinforcements of the 3rd Division quickly took 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and the 10,000 infantry then launched a pursuit of the cavalry battalion, and the cavalry who pursued Asman within three miles were dumbfounded.
The sky had gradually brightened, and the Asman cavalry could clearly see the figure of the enemy in the distance. The enemy, who was desperately fleeing, quietly reined in his horse and stood in front of them at this time, facing the menacing pursuers, and unexpectedly spread out in a line. Such a formation is completely incapable of cavalry onslaught.
Being too simplistic often means conspiracy.
"Aim!"
At Anthony's command, the thousand cavalrymen standing in the first row raised their weapons in their hands.
"Shè hit!"
The piercing sound of breaking the air continued to sound, and the rushing Asman cavalry fell from their horses one after another. In the first wave of attacks by the cavalry battalion, the Asmans lost nearly 500 cavalry.
"They are the most rubbish archers, don't be afraid! Charge me!" a cavalry officer roared loudly and rode forward. Cavalry archers were often easily routed when facing regular cavalry due to their low degree of striking and extremely poor lethality. Therefore, the so-called garbage class has long since withdrawn from the stage of the continental war. The officer didn't notice how the archers could have such a precise blow that could cause hundreds of casualties in a wave of attacks.
"Alternate shè strikes!"
A thousand cavalry in front of the cavalry battalion retreated. Another thousand people stood in the front row. The three waves of shè strikes soon ended, and the cavalry battalion rode away.
Behind them were the corpses of more than a thousand soldiers, each with a featherless arrow stuck in it. The cavalry battalion did not go far, and after replenishing the arrows in the gallop, it turned back and charged the Assman cavalry. When the two cavalry groups were still more than 100 meters away, the cavalry battalion relied on their superb horsemanship to show the enemy their true killing move--a sudden stop.
The cavalry in the charge parted to the sides like an arrow split from it, and the cavalry gently pulled the reins of their horses, and the horses spun in place and stopped in unison. "Ziyoushè hit. “
The Asman cavalry, which could no longer stop castration, was baptized by a merciless rain of arrows at close range. The horses were still galloping, but the knights on horseback had already fallen from the arrows. Watching more and more people fall from their horses, the Asmans' hearts were filled with horror, and they finally realized that the enemy was using a new weapon that they did not know about.
The instinctive human response to the mysterious and threatening is to avoid it.
The Asman cavalry retreated. The unforgiving cavalry battalion, led by the war maniac Anthony, launched a desperate assault on the retreating enemy.
Five thousand cavalrymen died and fled. Completely exposing the infantry phalanx in the rear to the eyelids of the cavalry battalion, watching the infantry phalanx in front hurriedly erect their shields and hold up their repelling rifles, Anthony sneered. "You hold your head, Lao Tzu beats you. "You shè. “
The cavalry battalion did not make contact with the infantry, and they perfectly combined the high-speed maneuverability of the cavalry with the stunt of "emergency stop shè strike", interspersed from the flanks of the infantry phalanx, and then unleashed shè strikes in the rear of weak defenses. At the same time, they took advantage of their weapons to wander outside the shè of the enemy archers, and as casualties continued to mount, the Asman army began to retreat. The infantry retreated in panic was the best prey of the cavalry, and Anthony did not let go of this opportunity, and the bloody stumps and broken arms were everywhere along the way. "It's really useful!" Anthony smiled with satisfaction as he stroked the chilly special operations crossbow in his hand after the battle.
The crossbow was once a lethal weapon in the Cold Weapon War in the world where Liuyun lived. After continuous development, although there is still a disadvantage that the reload time is longer than the bow, it is farther than the bow and has a higher kill rate and a higher hit rate. And its most prominent advantage is that it does not require much training, and it can be used as a new soldier and can quickly become a master of using a crossbow. And the hit rate is high enough to kill a cavalryman who has spent a lifetime training in combat. Once considered an illegitimate weapon (). With the advent of nomads who were good at riding shè and muskets, crossbows eventually withdrew from the stage of history. However, as an effective weapon for assassination and sniping in special environments, there are still special crossbows in special combat teams. This modified crossbow weighs regardless of the weight of the crossbow. are optimized. Liuyun, who has long disassembled and combined weapons, knows it well, and with the help of the dwarven master, he successfully forged a special warfare crossbow in the hands of the cavalry battalion and won this battle.
It was a bloody morning, and the road from the town of Cross to its west, miles long, was the corpses of nearly 10,000 Asman soldiers. These vivid lives of a moment ago did not see the rising sun again, but they witnessed the birth of a new class of troops - crossbow cavalry.
While the cavalry battalion was fighting, General Ringer also led 3,000 men under his command to launch a sāo harassment on the town of Rika. The level of vigilance and combat readiness of the garrison of Rika Town was obviously higher than that of the garrison of Cross Town, and when Ringer and his cavalry appeared, the enemy sent 5,000 Jing cavalry to attack Ringer. After one contact, Ringer ordered a retreat. Retreat to the outside of Heights 2 on the right flank.
When the pursuing cavalry was attacked by the magic of two high-level magicians, the No. 2 Highland Jing Spirit Clan Magister also began to prepare for magic.
"I'll start by saying that my magic isn't lethal. I'm a gentle person and don't do anything too bloody and violent. ”
Listening to the words of the Magister, Long Yun felt that his whole body was weak, and since this self-proclaimed "Love Saint" Magister was sent to his side, he had the urge to cut people countless times.
This "love saint" magister has a handsome face that makes any girl tempting, and at first glance, it looks like a jade tree is in the wind. But his gentle movements, his snorting tone, and his big eyes that were forever affectionate always made Long Yun's whole body chill.
"Noble Magister, I beg you to stop talking nonsense! Your words and deeds at this time are like cheating men in bed, discussing the moral issues of being a human being with the mistress of **, and you will be punished by God. ”
"I hate you so much. ”
"Love Saint" flew Long Yun with a roll of his eyes, and finally started work. This guy talks a lot of nonsense, but he is not slow to cast magic (). After a gentle chanting, a large mist of green water rose in front of Heights 2.
"Gentle entanglement!"
With a "coquettish drink", the mist dispersed and fell into the middle of the cavalry, soon covering most of the pursuers, and each soldier shrouded in magic felt as if he was surrounded by a warm wave of water, and wanted to resist but had no strength, and his movements gradually became slow. Even the horses became quiet at this moment, and walked slowly forward as if they were grazing in the meadows.
"Alright, I'm done, now it's your turn. ”
Ringer seized the opportunity to lead his cavalry from behind the high ground. Slaughtering these soldiers who are immersed in the magic of Jing Spirit and unable to extricate themselves. Long Yun didn't expect that the magic of the "Love Saint", who claimed to have no lethal power, would be so perverted, and when he saw the situation, he also led people to kill him from the high ground.
After the battle, when Long Yun returned to the position, the "Love Saint" smiled and said, "You guys are too bloody, can't you be as gentle as me?" You should tell the beasts, these Asmans will remember your damn gentleness when they go to hell!" Long Yun said with a sullen head. On the battlefield, the large-scale attack magic launched by the magister can generally cover hundreds of meters, causing thousands of casualties, and although the magic of this jing spirit magister is completely non-lethal, it can make thousands of people shackled, far more terrifying than a powerful attack magic.
Brooke soon received a detailed report of the enemy attack, and Hans heard the news and came to his tent. "What do you think about Hans?" asked Brooke, frowning. "The enemy attacked in the early hours of the morning, and after a battle, we suffered nearly 15,000 casualties, and there were very few corpses of enemy soldiers on the scene. On the side of Cross Town, the three divisions and one regiment were basically disabled, but the main reason for their defeat was that they were lax and careless to underestimate the enemy. At the same time, the cavalry sent by the 3rd Division to pursue the enemy encountered a powerful blow from the enemy, and a large number of strange arrows were found in the corpses of the soldiers, and according to survivors, most of the cavalry sent by the town of Rika were attacked by a wide range of magic attacks, lost their combat ability, and were annihilated by the enemy, which shows that this is a sharp force of the enemy, intending to rescue the city of Sidon (). "I have a basic understanding of the situation on the battlefield. I also saw that the featherless arrow was a new weapon for the enemy, and it was extremely powerful. At the same time, at least one Magister in the enemy camp can unleash such a strong magic. Judging by the enemy's movements, it should be not far to the west. Today, you will lead two divisions of troops, and I will give you another magister, and you will uproot this force for me, and at the same time order the troops besieging the city of Sidon to launch a fierce attack. “
The results of the early morning raid made Liuyun feel very satisfied. But he also realized that after the night passed, it was time for the adults to launch a large-scale attack, and what awaited him and the three regiments would be an extremely fierce battle, but he had to persevere, and at the same time let the enemy knock out a tooth in front of the three high grounds, and truly provoke the enemy's commander to carry out his next plan. "After the battle last night, the position of our position has been exposed to the eyes of the enemy, and today we will definitely send a large army to attack, and there will be a tough battle to be fought in front of this position. That's why I warn you not to let a small victory lead to a big defeat. I have sent out scouts, and if the enemy moves, the cavalry battalion will immediately attack the enemy along the way, but they must not make too much contact with the enemy, and if they succeed, they will leave. Little by little, eat the enemy's living force. Long Yun and Mogo held on to the two highlands, and the cavalry of Lingge retreated to the rear of Heights 0 and was ready to attack at any time. With the help of the three Magisters, I hope to hold on for a little longer, and the purpose of all this is to beat the enemy and bring out the enemy in Rika Town!" "Don't worry, Commander, as long as I am in the position. Long Yun replied in a deep voice. "My hands have been itching for a long time, and the more it comes, the better. "Mogo, who once fought with 30,000 people against more than 200,000 right-wing troops, was even more relaxed. "Let's hope everything goes well. All I can rely on now are a few mages and moonlight spring water, if only the enemy could send some mages!, Brooke, don't be too calm now!" Liuyun looked into the distance and sighed slightly.
There was a faint shout of killing from the direction of Sidon City, which opened the prelude to a new day of fighting.
