599 Visa War (III)
"What a peerless beauty," the fat man stood on the tower of Morenburg, whispered to himself, licked his lips that were a little dry, and looked at the Salanders who were in the midst of the fire and scattered in a panic,
Although it is not the first time I have seen such a spectacle, I am deeply intoxicated by the beauty of this violence every time. The explosive bomb that exploded like a firework was like a huge circle of light that suddenly burst open in the middle of the crowded Salander people, and every time it oscillated, it formed a red circle of fire that spread out from the middle to the surroundings.
Those useless wooden fences, at this moment, are completely like sharp thorns deep into the body of the retreating troops, so that everyone is crowded together, unable to advance or retreat, and completely become the target of the enemy's arbitrary slaughter,
The only thing that is fortunate is that there are too few archers on the opposite side, although the attack is very strong, in the case of a stacked crowd, it can often only shoot through the outer layer, and the damage to the inner crowd is limited.
But just this made the Salander soldiers drop nearly 5,000 corpses in just half an hour, and the bright red blood slipped down the slope, which was shocking
If you don't want the whole army to be killed by the enemy layer by layer with arrows, the only way is to let the Mamunuk knights withdraw and let the outfittings be arranged with a large number of infantry.
Although the armor of the infantry is not good, but there is still a round shield in the hand, if it can form a shield wall, it can resist most of the bow and arrow shots, like a lizard with a broken tail, at the cost of a part of the people, in exchange for the withdrawal of a large army,
The trumpet of "woo woo" to convey military orders sounded over the chaotic battlefield, and the infantry crowded on the mountain road began to move according to the order, while the Mamunuk knights quickly broke away from the crowded infantry group.
"Hehe, do you want to run?"
Looking at the Salander army below who tried to break the wrist of the strong man, the corner of the fat man's mouth sneered, and he made a gesture to the forest soldiers behind him, and the loud sound of the military horn sounded from Morenburg, and the longbowmen, who were originally half-squatting and fixed shooting, quickly spread out to the sides at this moment, revealing the black and pressing Vekia crossbowmen behind them,
"Target, 150 m slope! Continuous projectile preparation"
The crossbow captains standing to the left of the crossbow queue raised their hands at the same time,
"Squeak!" the sound of the bowstrings pulling at the same time was as crisp and intense as raindrops on a spring night
"Hum!" 4,000 infantry crossbows vibrated violently as the bowstrings were released, and at the same time there was a roar that tore through the air and made people's teeth sour.
The sky suddenly turned white, and when I looked up, the tail feathers of the 4,000 arrows formed a white cloud in the sky, and at first, the white cloud seemed to be slow, but when they reached the top of the parabola, they suddenly dived. In the sound of "Boom!", the silver arrows rained down like a torrential rain, instantly drowning a group of Salander Mamunuk knights who were in the crowd, driving the infantry in a panic.
"Poof" sharp crossbow arrows from the head, body, legs of these Mamunuk knights, as long as they can shoot through, the entire area covered by the arrow cluster is empty, even the people and horses were inserted in an instant with the white tail feathers of the arrow cluster, the corpses of more than 300 Mamunuk knights, with the fallen horses, hit the ground heavily,
A bloodied Mamunouk knight, struggling to get up, was immediately shot by several clusters of white arrows, and the lifeless corpse trembled in the falling sharp arrows, and the blood-drenched stumps dragged out blood-red long marks on the ground,
"Mom!" Salander's infantry looked at the scene in front of them, and suddenly turned pale with fright, and the queue that was still moving towards the hillside according to the order was completely chaotic,
"No, it can't be"
Molech looked at the scene in front of him with blood-red eyes, his eyes wide open, his mouth open, like a duck pinched by the neck, looked at the tragic scene in front of him in disbelief, he already knew that he had fallen into the trap of the enemy unknowingly from the beginning,
"The enemy's target can't be the Mamunuk's knights, right?"
This thought suddenly burrowed into his mind like a ghost, and Moleh's body shivered irrepressibly, and quickly suppressed the chagrin in his heart, and carefully swept across the slope again,
Sure enough, less than half of the more than 4,000 Mamunuk knights were scattered, and because of the mixed infantry and horses, the scattered could not be concentrated at all, and on the periphery of the entire retreating army, only the scattered shield walls lined up by lightly armed round-shielded infantry were struggling to support under the cluster of arrows shot from the opposite side.
Cold sweat, large cold sweat rolled down Moleh's forehead, for this, he even felt that his mind was blank, he finally knew what the other party wanted to do, and a piercing coldness instantly enveloped his whole body
On the opposite hill, a rumbling heavy rolling thunder confirmed the most terrible and desperate conjecture in his heart, and in the wind full of blood, a thick and murderous black line appeared at the top of the opposite slope,
"Cavalry, there are cavalry!" The slope was chaotic again, and a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared at the top of the slope, making the light infantry on the periphery of Salander's army agitated,
"Run!" some of the Salander light infantry chose to leave behind their comrades and run down the slope without the large force that needed cover,
"Order the infantry, rush up the hill at any cost!" Moleh shouted hoarsely to the herald behind him, his eyes bloodshot red,
The shape of the entire slope has been completely open in front of his eyes at this moment, and the other party's attacks are ring after ring, so that in addition to grief and indignation, there is only helplessness and coldness, the other party is simply using the method of cat and mouse, hitting himself again and again, from the beginning of the retreat, to the current sudden appearance of hideousness, it is simply a trap
The slope in front of him is undoubtedly a huge open field that is most conducive to the impact of cavalry, and those wooden fences that originally had a little blocking ability have been scattered by the impact of the Salander army who retreated in a panic, and there is no longer any ability to block it.
In the case of the scattered whole army, encountering a well-replenished heavy cavalry unit to launch a cluster charge from a high place, even a fool knows what the result is, even if he is not killed by the heavy war horse, he will be trampled to pieces by countless horse hooves,
Molech looked at the elite troops under his command with great dejection, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, crowded on this small hillside,
The sound of drawing knives resounded on the top of the mountain, and the snow-bright arc-shaped knives, with a chilling shining luster, made people feel a chill from the depths of their hearts, and the Salander light infantry was already frightened by a series of defeats.
They were only light infantry, and the armor and shields on their bodies could not resist the impact of the cavalry at all, and the formation that was already very reluctant and scattered was completely out of order at the moment
"Kill!" the earth trembled with a rumbling sound,
The horses of 2,000 Vecchian Guards cavalry, with a speed of nearly 100 miles, rushed towards the enemy who was completely in disarray on the mountainside, and the flying hooves of the horses raised the dust in the sky,
The distance of more than 100 meters is only a few seconds,
The heavy war horse that crashed into the group of Salander soldiers brought out a trail full of blood cloagging,
Immediately, the war knife hovering in the guard's hand brought a gorgeous and brilliant blood-colored luster, the war knife flew, and the human head rolled down,
The corpses of the Salanders fell one by one like straw from the harvest
