388 Kudan (2)
Erken's yang rice shines through the thin needs of the sky, and the sky rarely appears. Bright.
The bright sunlight is like a sharp blade. The dense fog and water vapor entrenched below are dispelled, and a warm light envelops people's hearts. Of course
Except for the Stian army on Mount Vatu, they didn't know that with the sun came death
A Stitian infantry captain lying in the mud, his face shone in the harsh sun,
The bright sunlight pierced his eyes,
He shook off the dry mud on his body, and staggered from behind the rocks to his feet.
Last night, there had been a rare night of silence for the Samorian army, which had been harassing for several days in a row, and the Stian soldiers felt as if their bones were aching.
After several days of formation and combat readiness, his body and will had been exhausted
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
He suddenly heard a hurried shout from the watchtower not far away,
This mournful cry is like a torn cloth, breaking the calm of the morning,
"Hell, these stupid Latus! always shouting at the slightest movement!" The infantry captain turned around in dissatisfaction and spat on the ground in disdain.
When he turned his head again, time seemed to freeze in this moment,
His eyes bulged like a goose by the neck, and the violent mountain wind blew in through his wide open mouth, but he had forgotten to close his mouth
Countless black arrows rushed out of the Samor camp below the mountain like a swarm of maggots that suddenly burst from the horizon,
The dense black color even obscured the harsh sunlight in the sky, covering the sky, like the rain clouds that lingered in the sky a few days ago!
"Arrow Strike!"
The infantry captain was so frightened by the black clouds in the sky that he shivered,
He had already shouted to his companion beside him, and in a panic, he raised the heavy shield at his feet with both hands above his head, and curled up in a muddy mire like a frightened mouse.
His body trembled uncontrollably, like a prisoner awaiting trial
"Whew!"
A violent whistling sound instantly tore apart the surrounding peace,
"Lock Lock"
The sharp arrows struck his shield as if they had just been hit by a rainstorm,
He was lucky, his alertness and shrewdness saved his life,
More arrows fell from the sky with the light marks of death, and the entire slope on the right side of the pass was suddenly filled with arrowheads.
The captain of the infantry, curled up under his shield, heard the sound of raindrops around him, mixed with all kinds of hoarse screams,
But soon this qiē was gone.
All that was left was the sound of raindrops falling on the ground, and the terrible sound lasted for three full minutes
"It's over, it's all over!"
The heart of the infantry captain was freezing cold, and there were two thousand elite Stitian soldiers stationed on this slope,
Heavy rains washed away their tents. They can only lie on the ground and rest,
On this uncovered slope, 2,000 elites are completely the target of the Samorian army.
The captain of the infantry who escaped his life passed through the gap in his shield. Hundreds of Stian soldiers were nailed to the ground by this rain of arrows on the ground red with blood
The red blood turned the muddy ground into a pool of blood, like hell,
Nearly half of the Stian soldiers were still asleep, and they were nailed to the ground by the dense arrows.
The air is rich and pungent with the smell of blood,
Let him, a veteran, hold his breath too
"Get up. Get up! The Samars are coming."
Suddenly there was a shout from behind him,
"The Samors are attacking!", the captain of the small Stian infantry, who had escaped the catastrophe, reflected from the terrible sight before him,
"Woo!" the trumpet sounded on the Watu Mountain,
Countless Stian soldiers were like black dots that suddenly appeared, quickly covering the entire Vatu Pass,
The arrow attack just now, for the big war that is about to break out,
It's just an appetizer before a big meal
Picking up the heavy spear and shield, that very real feeling, made the captain of the Stitian infantry feel some strength,
He looked around, there were corpses everywhere, and there were less than a hundred people who could stand up. But he still saw the rathu peasants with red eyes like rabbits, shaking their arms towards him
"!
The infantry captain scolded with an indignant face, and a strange whistling sound suddenly rang in his ears.
"Poof"
A thick, special arrow was stolen from him,
"Giggles. He whimpered in his throat, and with a look of disbelief on his face, he wanted to turn his head to see what had killed him, and "poof" another arrow pierced through his chest,
The powerful penetrating force pinned his body to the rock behind him
"Forward!" In the thick fog in the distance, there were bursts of fierce war drums,
Several huge black Samorian formations emerged from the darkness below,
Immediately after, dozens of tall flat-topped arrow towers slowly pushed up from the rear of the Samor military formation,
The heavy wheels creaked on the muddy ground, and the three compartments of the turret were filled with longbowmen with longbows
This special arrow tower is divided into three layers, and in front of each platform is a row of thick wooden shields, and behind it stand more than a dozen archers with broad bows on their backs.
"Target! m! The right slope of the pass! Longbow salvo in the second round!"
The leader of the Longbow Banner, Xesta, shouted to the archers around him while pulling out an arrow from his feet, and the thirty men wearing light pairs standing on the arrow tower fiercely stabbed the longbow lane, and Xun quickly drew the second arrow from his waist.
"Squeak".
The mighty Thorn Tile longbow pulled out again, and a round of black cold light covered the slope again
"Victory, victory!" The Samorian army suddenly sounded a neat voice like a landslide and tsunami,
The war drums and trombones of the concubine resounded in the sky. The war was already doomed from the moment the rainstorm came, and this would be the home of the Samorish army
"Whoop" by the powerful arrow that pierces the sky,
The two light infantry formations at the front were divided into more than a dozen squadrons, like a huge thing that suddenly disintegrated, pushing hundreds of huge wooden platoons out of it.
"Damn, what do these Samars want to do!," Wen He, the commander of the Eighth Banner of Stien, who was commanding the battle, scolded,
He was also taken aback by the sudden change, and before he could react, the Samoor on the other side gave him the answer,
Bands of Samorian longbowmen lined up along the wall of wooden shields, numbering thousands, dense with arrows like sharp blades,
Shoot the Stitian soldiers who wanted to rush up and plug the hole to the ground,
The slope was strewn with corpses stuck in arrowheads, like a bleeding wound, and the Stians fought back twice in succession, but failed to fill the gaps
"They want to forcibly occupy the mouth of the slope!, this terrible thought made the head of the Eighth Banner, Wen He, clench his fingers
That section of the slope was the most important link in the defense line of Mount Vatu, and when the slope was opened, the Samorian army below rushed up continuously.
Wenhe would have laid out a whole squadron there. No one expected that Samore would tear his carefully arranged defense line to shreds in such a direct way,
Now I have to pull off this last fig leaf in front of myself.
"Damn Samar, you want to go up the slope! Go dream!" Wen He waved his hand angrily, and ordered the heavy third squadron, which was originally arranged in the second line of defense, to enter the battle for the slope on the first line.
The hoplites are the natural enemies of the light infantry,
Wen He didn't believe that his 2,000 hoplites couldn't hold a small slope,
"Hehe, it's really here!"
Crolysat, who was leading the assault on the opposite side, saw the Stitian hoplites appear on the slope. The solemn look finally relaxed, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth,
As the fat man expected,
The commander of the opposing side was under a barrage of blows from himself. Finally made the most fatal mistake,
This slope is followed by a relatively flat and narrow mountaintop.
Croissat's greatest fear was that the opposing commander would abandon the slope in front of him and place the hoplites who were the main battle force on the dead end of the bow and arrow attack.
That would cost the sharpest longbow troops of the Mountain Legion most of their strength.
But now,
These heavy infantry, who went into battle too early, were the life of the longbow target
"Order the Longbow Banner Regiment. Kill me!" Croryssatt excitedly waved to the herald behind herald,
"Longbow Sniper Ready!"
Seeing the command flag erected by the corps headquarters, the leader of the longbow squadron who commanded the assault, dragged out a long note excitedly in his mouth,
The thousands of longbowmen hiding behind the wooden platoon had all stopped their arrows at this moment.
Instead took out a special sniper shrug from his waist,
Longer but lighter than a regular longbow, this type of arrow can only be made by a great craftsman, so each longbowman is equipped with only three
The arrows in the sky suddenly stopped, and a group of Samorish light infantry had rushed up to the middle of the slope,
I saw a phalanx of heavy infantry in heavy armor appear in front of me. The Samor light infantry had to slow down its advance
"Come on!, Samar coward!" Wen He, the commander of the Eighth Banner Regiment on the top of the mountain, saw this scene and shouted arrogantly, "Come on, cowardly Samar! If you have the ability, use your light infantry to crush my heavy infantry!",
"Shrug the gun!" the pole Stian hoplites raised their heavy spears at the same time, like a steel wall that cut through the slope. Blocking the path of the Samar light infantry,
"Stop" The captain of the Samor infantry who led the team waved to his subordinates, so that the soldiers who followed him stopped, and looked at the Stian heavy infantry in front of him in the middle, their eyes were blood-red, but they did not dare to act rashly.
The lightly armored light infantry and the heavily armored heavy infantry collided head-on, and even a fool knew what the result was,
"Kill, kill these Samars!" Wen He licked his somewhat dry lips excitedly, and ordered the heavy infantry below to advance
A bloodthirsty impulse surged in his chest, and he inexplicably lost 2,000 elites on the slope. This feeling has been burning his heart like a fire
In the same way, he was going to push these daring Samar barbarians down the slope
"Nose shoot!" The longbow troops behind the platoon finally began to attack, and the archers' fingers gently let go of the bowstring,
"Collapse, collapse, collapse"
The sound of a fierce bowstring made the whole air tremble.
Three hundred intense white rays of light with a suffocating whistling sound slammed into the slowly advancing Stienne hoplite array
"Bump!"
The heavy armor of the Stian soldiers was torn apart in an instant,
The entire heavy infantry platooning fell to the ground as if it had been hit by a huge impact
"No!
Wen He, who was still proud just now, was completely stunned,
He couldn't believe that Samar's mighty longbow could be so strong, and the heavy infantry he was proud of was torn apart like this, like a group of big hedgehogs, and was shot and rolled to the ground,
"Second team!!" The Samorian longbowmen on the opposite side showed no mercy to these poor people.
This
As long as the Vatu Pass is opened, all head rewards will be doubled.
In the eyes of longbowmen, these iron bumps in heavy armor are the fat that is delivered to the mouth.
"Boom, collapse, collapse!" Another row of hoplites was shot into a hornet's nest, and the entire hoplites were completely confused under the sudden blow of the longbow, and the soldiers in front began to run back in a panic, crowded with the soldiers behind who did not know the truth
"Hooray! Long live the longbowmen! Brothers, come on," the mountain light infantry, who had already been prepared, shouted from behind the hoplites, holding the scimitars characteristic of mountain hunters
The sharp hunting knife slashed through the soft armor on the neck of the hoplite, and the big head flew into the air, blood spurting on the faces of the soldiers behind.
"Hold on, kill me if you don't want to die!" The leader of the Stien heavy infantry squadron slashed several deserters in a row to stop the heavy infantry from fleeing
But the sound of the hurried longbow once again tore the confidence of the heavy infantry,
Six hundred longbowmen, hiding among the light infantry, fired a surprise shot at the panicked Stian hoplites at very close range from Limi
Collapse! Collapse!
At such a close distance, both the strength and the density were more violent than the wave just now, and there was no armor at all that could block the longbow's close shots.
The heavy infantry in the front row was like a harvested straw, brushing down a large area, and most of the arrows even penetrated the bodies of the soldiers in front and shot into the queue of soldiers in the second row.
The entire ranks of the heavy infantry were thrown into disarray by the sudden blow
"Monsters! These are monsters!" the Stitian soldiers had seen Kujit's strongbow, but they had never seen a more powerful thorn tile, a thorn thorn longbow that pierced through shields and knights' heavy armor, completely crushing their will
The sloping defense line was crumbling, and only a third of the hoplites had been pinned on by Win He's high hopes remained, and these panicked and helpless Stian soldiers, divided by more and more Samar light infantry, were completely unable to form a well-organized formation
"This is a group of bandits!" Looking at the Samar light infantry all over the mountain, Wen He on the top of the mountain was so angry that he almost didn't vomit blood, and these Samar soldiers didn't know who they were.
Not only was he able to walk like a fly on the muddy mountain road, but everyone also carried a hunting bow on their backs, and constantly shot arrows, and a squadron that he had just sent to plug the gap broke up before he could reach the front line
"Quick, ask Lord Stian Tucosa for help! I want reinforcements! Reinforcements" Wen He looked at the slope with a pale face, and the Samor soldiers all over the mountains were like a swarm of crouching ants,
"This is the elite of Samar who swept through the kingdom!" Wen He felt a weak sense of powerlessness at the situation in front of him,
An elite army of six thousand people. In less than half a day, it was effortlessly served by the other party.
One-third of them were crucified on the slope, one-third were crushed by the light infantry, and one-third were directly turned into a rout.
Wen He felt that today was his saddest day, and he was ashamed again!"Okay! I really didn't mistake this kid Crorysart, this time for the sake of Latu, this guy is definitely playing with his life!" The fat man looked at the hot slope in the distance, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth
This time, even the fat man himself felt that the gods were watching over him,
Sending such a rare and excellent fighter plane to his own hands at the most needed moment, his army has taken the opportunity of these two days to complete the rest and assembly, while the opposite Stien's position is in a bad place,
The fat man turned his head and looked at the Samor generals behind him, and pointed at Hukochili with the whip in his hand, "The mountain legions have opened a gap, and your guards cavalry can be sure to take on the most difficult and glorious mission." Tear this Watu Mountain defense line to shreds for me."
"My lord, please rest assured!" Hu Keqili was wearing chain mail, and nodded resolutely with a resolute face, "My six thousand guards cavalry have all changed into light horse armor, even if the mountain road is muddy, as long as the intersection is opened, you can still rush up!"
"Okay! that's what I've been waiting for!" the fat man nodded with satisfaction.
His sharp eyes swept over the faces of the other generals, and he said in a high voice, "The next ten days will determine the future of my Samor!
The fat man violently pulled out his war knife, and "woo" The cold sharp war knife faced the sun, and let out a trembling chirp, pointing at the main breakthrough of this attack. The southern slope of Mount Vatu,
The fat man shouted to everyone, "Everyone, the prancing horse Kudan!
The oncoming sunlight shone on the armor and war horse on his body, making the fat man whole person. It looks like it's gilded with a golden halo,
"Victory, victory!" The dozen or so Samar Cavalry Commanders behind him were infected by the fat man and shouted excitedly
The heavy horse's hooves shook the muddy ground, and the earth rumbled like thunder, and the ground trembled before my eyes,
"Crossbow!" There was a neat sound from the ranks of the Samar Guards cavalry, which was slowly accelerating, and all the cavalry at the same time pulled out a special small cavalry crossbow that was shining with cold light and had been mounted from the trough installed in the crotch of the war horse.
"Rush forward!" Hu Keqi violently strangled the war horse under his crotch and turned into a phantom first. Rushed up the slope muddy mountain road,
"Woo woo!" The trombone in the Samar army formation hissed, and the light infantry of the mountain corps who were responsible for opening the way in the forward line gave way to the road in front of them, making way for the cavalry troops that were assaulting behind.
