Chapter 207, the rain of arrows of King Kong armor wrestlers
The cavalryman was almost frightened by the thunderous roar and fell to the ground, and the sharp Daguan knife shimmered in the sunlight.
The cavalry couldn't help but shiver in his back, as can be seen from the weapons of these guys, these guys are not only able to shoot arrows, they can also fight in close combat, and the melee weapons used are a great threat to the cavalry from the perspective of shape.
The cavalry spun around and threatened, but was instead threatened by Terrance and ran back.
By this time, the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the royal family was in a dilemma.
Forward, relying on cavalry charges alone, the loss is a bit large, but if it really detours, it will fall into the prestige of the royal army.
Not to mention the hoplite teams that came slowly in the distance, the infantry regiments, and even the city defense troops of the two cities followed the detour?
It's really not good, just wait for the hoplites behind to come up, they can be called the nemesis of archers on the battlefield, the hoplites with their whole bodies in a centimeter of iron shell, basically don't have to be afraid of arrow shooting, even if it is the fighting arrows of the big rangers, at most they can only kill a few, and wait until the hoplites accelerate their advance and disperse the archers, and the cavalry will outflank them again, and they will win.
After some discussion, a group of officers of the cavalry regiment came up with the result, which was to wait.
About half an hour later, an army of infantry and carts appeared in the distance.
The infantry is the first corps of the royal family and the Lidonia, Kumos city defense army, and the big plate cart is the iron armor of the heavy infantry, after all, that iron armor is two hundred kilograms, even if those heavy infantry are the strength of swordsmen, it is unrealistic to wear this iron armor for a long journey, and before he reaches the destination, he will die of exhaustion first.
Soon, the cavalry converged with the infantry.
Obviously, the hoplites, infantry regiments, and even the city defense troops were strange. How did the cavalry stop here.
Of course, it didn't take long for a number of high-ranking officers to find out what was going on.
The top of several armies gathered for a short meeting, which was attended by the High Priest of the Wilderness Church in addition to the senior officers.
The Lord Priest did not say anything about military matters, and he did not understand military affairs in the first place.
Even after understanding that the enemy on the other side was unexpectedly strong, these high-level leaders made the decision to fight after the meeting.
The reason is very simple, the number of enemies on the opposite side is too small, there are only a few dozen, but there are more than 3,000 troops on his side, just push them over.
After resting a little, Wang Jun pushed the whole team in this direction.
See this scene. Terrance quietly walked to Jia Kedao's side and couldn't help but sigh: "Lord Mingyang, it seems that I miscalculated. ”
Jia Kedao smiled indifferently, nodded at the King Kong armor wrestlers around him, and said with a smile: "In the eyes of Poor Dao, this war was inevitable. ”
Terrance understood at this point.
That's right, there are really fewer people I brought over, fifty people, in the eyes of the other party, I'm afraid it's not worth mentioning. The fact that there was no attack under the shock of the rain of arrows before does not mean that the opponent's entire army will be so honest after they arrive.
In that case, let's fight if you want to.
In this battle, Jacodao will not interfere with all the decisions made by Terence. After all, Jia Kedao needs to quickly cultivate a military talent, and what he pursues is Tao.
The cavalry regiments had dispersed to the flanks and were in a position ready to charge, while the two hundred hoplites were aided by auxiliaries. Dressed in heavy iron armor, the infantry will be lined up in several phalanxes, and they will follow the hoplites in their assault. Wait until the hoplites have broken through before striking the fatal blow.
Well, no matter who looks at it, the posture of this Wang Jun is all cannons hitting flies.
But Terence didn't have a chance for the other side to be ready at all.
At the sound of an order, the Vajra armor wrestlers, who had been waiting a little impatiently, shot the arrows in their hands one after another.
Since the Vajra armor wrestlers haven't been trained in a lot of queues or anything like that, the salvo looks a bit confusing when it comes to firing.
But these arrows don't lose their power because of these problems.
At a distance of four hundred meters, the rain of arrows passed over the hoplites who were wearing heavy armor and fell straight into the infantry camp lined up behind them, setting off a small-scale bloody storm in the blink of an eye.
In fact, the enhanced recurve bow has a parabolic range of up to 600 meters, which is close to the effective range of a rifle on Earth.
At a distance of 400 meters, the arrows fired by these recurve bows still have a sharp penetrating power, often one arrow after hitting the infantry in leather armor, directly penetrating, and still has the strength to shoot into the body of the person behind.
In the blink of an eye, more than forty infantry soldiers became the souls of the arrows. Of course, there were only about 20 arrows that actually hit the target.
At four hundred meters, when it is almost impossible to see the target clearly, he can shoot at the target, some of them are blindfolded, and the other part of those King Kong armor wrestlers are originally the archers among the mercenaries.
As for those soldiers and thieves with poor archery skills, their arrows were basically shot away, and if it weren't for the enough penetration of the arrows, I am afraid that the infantry who would have fallen would have been more than twenty at most.
It's hard to believe that you can attack from such a distance.
Although Terrance had shot five cavalrymen to death with five arrows in the crotch of the war horses, everyone thought that they were just a few archery masters.
But now, that possibility is completely shattered by arrows.
"Quick! Hoplites speed up!"
"Cavalry assault! assault!"
"The infantry is scattered!"
This wave of arrow rain directly plunged the high-level leaders of the Wang army, who had little experience in the war, into chaos, to be honest, most of the high-level leaders in this royal army came to gild, as for tactical cultivation and military knowledge, they may not be as good as the commander of a mercenary group.
The cavalry on the left attacked, the cavalry on the right was so frightened that they retreated a hundred paces, the hoplites did not even finish the iron cans and began to rush forward under the order, as for the infantry, the two city defense armies were a little better, and they somewhat suppressed the position, and the first step of the royal family was completely humiliated by this title, and there was chaos, the officers all squatted down with their shields, and only a few soldiers raised their shields, and more of them withdrew to the back.
The power of the King Kong Armor Lux is unimaginable to those high-ranking members of the Wang Army.
According to common sense, the average archer should take a break from his arm every three arrows if he shoots three arrows to avoid excessive fatigue, and if he shoots more than ten arrows, his arms will begin to tire quickly.
And for King Kong Armor Warriors, this restriction is almost useless to them.
The blessing of the talisman allows them to fully unleash their power, and they will not feel tired when shooting dozens of arrows. (To be continued......)
