"Pass the order, no arrows are allowed to be released 150 meters away!" Reposti, the commander of the Fifth Banner of the Central Army, looked at the enemy who was like a tumbling crowd, and gave an order to the elite crossbowmen of the empire who had already opened their bowstrings, and a trace of disappointment flashed on the faces of the crossbowmen who heard the order, 1 Although 150 meters is the killing range of most imperial crossbows, this number is useless for these elite crossbowmen, The so-called elite crossbowman, in the falcon army, which is known as 100,000 archers, the most basic standard is also to be able to pierce a piece of cloth fluttering in the wind at a range of more than 120 meters, is the product of the transformation of the existing third-generation infantry heavy crossbow by the Imperial Military Research Institute, because the range exceeds the limit of the vision that most crossbowmen can see, and it is required to be able to shoot the target with one arrow, so only the elite of the elite is qualified to be equipped with this weapon,

The commander of the Fifth Banner of the Central Army, Reposti, personally sat in charge, and to his left was Zack, an elite shooter from the Sixth Banner Regiment, who was one of them.

He took the habitual half-squatting position, and when he was preparing, he casually put the heavy quiver full of arrows on the ground, and carefully took out the arrows inside, one by one, and inserted them at his feet, and he did it very carefully, until the 20 standing arrows in the quiver were neatly discharged by him at his feet, as if he was nodding his head in advance, and his face was meticulous, and he had better record that in an encounter with the Gauls, one man shot and killed the captain of the Gallic infantry, seventeen soldiers. One person and one arrow, almost equal to the combat power of half of the squad, after that battle, he was praised as a blood arrow by his colleagues

"Blood Arrow Zack, how many are you going to kill this time?" asked a companion who was watching in front of him in a low voice, it was Werther from the Northern County, a sharpshooter with the same name as him, "20!" Zach replied noncommittally, his sharp eyes looking at a small black dot in the distance, and his hand gently pulled out an inverted crossbow arrow white tail feather, and put it into the shooting nest of the bronze crossbow trigger. "Let's compare and see who can catch that prey first!" A smile appeared at the corner of Vic's mouth, and the hand holding the crossbow slowly raised, not even a trace of shaking, through the aiming port of the crossbow, his gaze never moved again, it was a Gallic officer in heavy yellow and white armor, and at first glance he knew that it was a big man, because behind this Gallic officer stood a flag officer holding a battle flag. Rushing over" the Gallic officer, apparently unaware of the prey of someone else, shouted loudly and drove away the soldiers. Large white snow fell from the sky, creating bursts of white snow mist. From afar, the horizon was completely obscured in white, and in the midst of this confusion, the ground was crushed by the advancing pace of the Gauls.

I saw that the snowflakes were flying, and at a distance of 100 meters, it was almost covered with a layer of hoarfrost-like salt. A thick and long dense black line emerged, and the cold light of the weapon was flashing with a worrying light, "The shield gunner is in front" 200 meters

The Gallic heavy infantry began to leave the team in an orderly manner, they were like a steel wall walking in the forefront, their heads fluttering with red tassels, the armor on their bodies was black and blue in the cold, and the shields depicted the shape of the Gallic eagles in golden copper, and their bodies were unusually strong, like a hideous beast, and a spear with a handle stretched out from the gap in the military formation formed by the shield. Against the backdrop of the snow, it is like a cold light surging in front of it, spreading out, forming a slope similar to a concave, and the simple and clear lines reveal a razor-like slew of slaughter, as if the whole saline ground is cut from the side

"Ready,"

Reposti watched the line of Gauls step past the pre-marked stones representing the distance of one hundred and fifty meters, his expression was solemn, and he slowly raised his hand as a bait to throw into Lake Furnas, and the fat man allocated all the elite crossbowmen in the three infantry banner regiments of the Imperial Central Army to him, and the attack line composed of 586 elite crossbowmen was the biggest support for the entire defense line, "Shoot!" Reposti's raised hand fell violently, "Jump! Jump!" At the same time, the bowstring that jumped to the extreme made a sound like raindrops falling to the ground, and countless white lines flew into the sky.

"Ahh Shooting over a whole squad of thousands, a place where the elite crossbowmen were particularly cared for, the body of the conspicuous and swaggering Gallic officer was filled with more than a dozen clusters of arrows, two of which pierced his throat in a criss-cross shape, the head of the Gallic officer was almost cut off from his neck, and the Gallic commanders, who were a little confused under the first blow, shouted to cheer up the morale of the soldiers: "Steady, don't mess around! The overseers in the rear, in the midst of hysterical frenzied shouts, "Advance, victory is ahead! Advance, those who retreat without permission will be killed! We are three times as many as them" Under various psychological effects, the timid Gallic troops were obviously much braver, and the army was rolling forward,

"Shoot!" The sharp arrow struck again like a waterfall from the sky, and for a moment the heavens and the earth were filled with terrifying shocking sounds

"Bang Bang Bang" dense as raindrops of round huge stones and arrows, like a heavy hammer violently bombarded the body of the Gallic soldiers, bright red human blood like waves slapping on the hard rock wall, "poof, puff" sharp arrows piercing into the 'flesh' body and the sound of broken bones one after another, the distance has been stretched to a hundred meters, tens of thousands of arrows flying in the air on both sides, you can constantly see one after another shining metal waterfalls, from the bottom to the top of the current! The snow is broken and the snow is flying, and the cracks in the trunks of the trees on the side of the road are everywhere. The cold road was full of bloody corpses, and with this desperate attack, the 30,000 Gallic troops were not afraid of sacrifice, and they were filled with corpses step by step, and on the battlefield where the north wind was howling, the fresh lives that were still rushing and jumping when they set out in the morning, they were all lying quietly on the cold winter field. "Kill!" the first group of Gallic infantry collided with the Falcon's infantry, and in such a narrow area, the shields of both sides were on top of their shields, and the heavy spears collided together, and the Falcon's spears penetrated the armor of the Gallic heavy infantry. The gabbled flail of the Gallic hoplites smashed heavily on the shoulder armor of the Falcon hoplites. Blood splattered out of the bodies of the warriors on both sides almost at the same time, the shields shattered, the swords flashed, and the bright red blood spurted into the air from the chest cavity of the ruptured bodies, and the two sides were like two entangled coiling dragons, rolling up countless pieces of snow between heaven and earth,

The fierceness of the battle had exceeded the expectations of the commanders of both sides, in the case of equal numbers. The three squadrons of heavy infantry that were the best at defense were specially drawn from the two Central Army Flag Regiments, and they were superior in both martial arts and experience, and in the first encounter, the Gallic troops at the front collapsed with a thousand-man team.

The Koreans, who thought that they could defeat the enemy's Chinese army as long as they could rush closely, suddenly realized that they were too wrong, and these guys in heavy armor in front of them were killing people like chopping vegetables, like a glimpse of a wall that could not be climbed. The corpses of their colleagues fell at the feet of these metal monsters, and the opponent's spear was very vicious, almost a fatal stabbing technique, and the sharp and strange long sword in his hand was even more capable of melee combat. Skillfully slicing the throat of their opponents, they stabbed and hacked to death the onrushing Gallic infantry like a group of killing machines. Kicking the corpse down with his foot, the Gallic infantry who rushed up to the hand-to-hand combat was pushed back, "My lord." Paola-sama's troops have arrived!"

Hondubai was anxious about his reckless attack, and one of the attendants pointed to the reinforcements in the distance and shouted, following the direction of the attendant's finger, Hondubai's eyes lit up, and he saw that a long line of Gallic light cavalry of hundreds of people emerged from a bush on the left flank like a ghost, like a sharp knife that suddenly appeared, and fiercely slashed towards the flank of the Falcon Army that was in a fierce battle, and the fierce battle lasted until 3:07 p.m., when another unit of the Gauls arrived at the battlefield, and in the direction of the light cavalry, countless battle flags fluttered in the wind, "Bastard, this guy does this every time......"

Hong Dubai scolded angrily, if Paula's troops could be earlier, he would not need to give the order to attack frontally before, Paula, the commander of the Ninth Infantry Regiment in Gaul, stared at the attack of the Fifth Infantry Regiment on his horse, occupying three times the strength, and was even pushed back, which made him look at the Falcon Army's combat power again, "That's it!"

Paul watched the hooves of hundreds of Gallic light cavalry trample into the lake like white frost mist, the corners of his mouth showed a sneer, he was wearing a gorgeous white armor, wearing a gold horn helmet on his head, looking majestic, he believed that the light cavalry sent would put the Falcon Army in a difficult situation, as long as the defense line was shaken, and then the main force of infantry would be sent to cut off the rear road of the Falcon Army, and the Falcon Army that broke through would definitely be cut and strangled on the shore of Lake Sna, and his name Paul would definitely shake Gaul,

"Attention, flanks'!"

The falcons who found the light cavalry approaching were a little flustered, and with the order, a row of crossbowmen turned around neatly, raised the composite infantry crossbow in their hands to aim at the roaring light cavalry, the ground was fighting slightly at the feet, everyone's faces were a little pale, on the left side of the queue, the commander was constantly using his best strength, shouting loudly to the archers who raised their crossbows, "Steady!" The tense sound of the bowstring pulling down the apex, like a thin string that made everyone hold their breath, at this moment, it seemed that even the wind and snow in front of them had stopped for a moment, and in terms of arrows reflected in the cold light, the Gallic light cavalry galloped like a frenzy, and the horse's hooves rolled up the white earth on the surface, forming a flying white 'color' vortex, like a snow 'flower' suddenly flying in the sky, which was also crushed by this dense excess, heavy horses' hooves wrapped in metal armor, "Steady!" The crossbowmen clenched their teeth, overcoming the fear of a frontal onslaught from the cavalry, the painful blood coming from the corners of their mouths. I also had to try to keep my trembling hands steady like a rock, like a statue frozen in the wind and snow, only the eyes of the vengeful flames, staring at the Gallic light cavalry that was rapidly attacking from a hundred meters away. The advantage of the archer is long-range, as long as you rush closely, the archer is the object of slaughter, a distance of 100 meters, for the galloping cavalry is only a few seconds, even the most experienced archer, it will be the time to shoot two clusters of arrows

"Go ahead, crush them!"

The Gallic light cavalry looked at the enemy less than a hundred meters, and suddenly let out a bloody shout, and the officer who took the lead drew his sword. Shouting to his subordinates behind him, in his mind, he had already imagined the magnificent sight of the enemy falling like a broken straw, the screams of being trampled to death by the war horses and wailing were always so beautiful, and the horses' hooves rumbled. Like a dark cloud covering the sky and the earth. With an arrogant momentum, he wanted to trample the falcon crossbowmen on the opposite side into minced flesh, and a sharp arrow cut a swift white line from a distance, piercing deep into the neck of the Gallic light cavalry commander

"Rita-sama"

The Gallic hussars who followed him looked at their captain in amazement, and was shot through the throat from the front side by a cluster of arrows, and the powerful impact even caused his hussar armor to explode from the front, bringing up a puddle of blood, like a rabbit shot in a hunt, flying out of the horse, and the blood splattered onto the pale faces of the other cavalry, "Attention, there are enemies!"

A chill ran through the minds of the Gallic hussars as their eyes searched for the direction the arrows were coming from. Another white line shot from the direction of the smooth mirror-like lake, and the wind blew, reducing the white mist on the lake surface a little, revealing the embankment on the opposite side of the lake

"That'...... What is it!" A Gallic light cavalry looked at a whole row of small black dots standing at the other end of the lake, full of dense archers, he saw an officer of the Falcon Army drop his hand suddenly, as if the air in front of him was shaking, and he saw countless white lines flying towards him like blooming flowers to you, "Attention. It's the enemy's marksman!" The hussar's face turned pale for a moment, and his shouting had not yet fully fallen, and his companions running in front and on the side had been thrust into hedgehogs by countless clusters of arrows

Countless glowing white 'colored' filaments burst out from the curtain across the lake. Mixed with the sound of snowflakes falling from the sky, it was like a nebula suddenly emerging from the flat, dazzling metal flashes soaring into the sky, and then drawing white light marks in the high places. The point of light falls rapidly,

"Bang Bang" the Gallic light cavalry turned on their backs, and the light cavalry equipment could not resist the crossbow arrows. Hundreds of Gallic light cavalry seemed to hit an invisible wall headlong, beautiful and strange arcs, like a storm from the side, covering the top of the light cavalry, the special Mitsubishi armor-piercing arrows pierced through the unprotected bodies of the light cavalry without hindrance, pierced into their flesh, and brought up a piece of blood, the light cavalry with the arrow shook on the warhorse, as if losing balance and fell from the galloping war horse, and the heavy body was smashed into the snow on the ground, "Bastard, is it the reinforcements of the Falcon Army!" “

Seeing that the inevitable blow was such a failure, Paul in the back smashed his angry fist on the saddle, he heard the cheers of the Falcon army on the opposite side, and at 3:17 in the afternoon, the 13,000 troops of the 6th Banner Regiment of the Imperial Central Army arrived on the battlefield, at this time, the total strength of the Falcon Imperial Army was 23,000, and the Gallic Imperial Army was 54,000, and the ratio of strength was 2:1.

On the frontal battlefield of the battle, the corpses were covered with dense white arrow tail feathers, and the human blood gathered below was terrifying, like flowers blooming on the blood-colored soil, and the snow covered the corpses, but they were melted by the new human blood, dyeing the ground a shocking red,

Together with the troops of Hong Dubai and Paul adjusted the attack plan from the new, the frontal battle was still handed over to the infantry regiment of Hongdubai, Paul placed his forces on the flanks, in order to contain another Falcon army unit that had just arrived on the battlefield, after a short correction, the Gauls' offensive was more violent, the infantry held their shields and stepped on the corpses of their comrades in front without scruples, the battle had lasted until the evening, a large number of arrow clusters were consumed, so that the striking power of the frontal falconry plummeted, in a burst of vibration that tore through the air, the arrow clusters fell less and less, at the feet of the Gauls, sharp arrow clusters'Inserted' into the snow, and on the shield wall in the front row, there was a crisp tapping sound like raindrops

"Don't stop, keep charging!

The frontal attack of Hong Dubo was very excited, the sharp spears of the Gallic infantry began to lay down in a row behind the shields, and in the eighth attack, the superiority of the Gauls in strength was revealed, and the excellent imperial heavy infantry also began to appear in the body, and the casualties began to expand

"My lord, the Sixth Banner Regiment has sent a message, they are behind, we are retreating"

A bloodied herald cavalryman jumped down from his horse and reported to Reposti, the commander of the Fifth Regiment of the Falcon Empire's Central Army, who was resting on a tree trunk and had three wounds on his body.

"Is it time to retreat? Reposti staggered to the trunk of the tree and stood up, looked up at the sky that was almost dark, from noon to night, the fifth flag regiment of 11,000 people lost more than half of the battle, even he, the flag commander, and the Gauls suffered a lot of battle losses, Reposti almost piled up the ground below, and even the corpses that had no place to settle swore that the Gauls' battle losses were at least twice as much as their own, if not, he would cut off his Rybosti's head as a ball, but as the sixth flag regiment of the Central Army and the Gallic army on the opposite side, they only collided with each other a few times, and the casualties were not even a thousand"Order the teams to retreat!" Reposti took a deep breath and shouted "Withdraw from the lake!" ......in a hoarse voice.
