598 Visa War (II)

The earth was trampled by the hooves of many horses, and Gregor had just flattened his spear as a newcomer to the Mamunuk's knights, and his inferior mules and horses, which had been bought for 60 silver coins, were swept away by the torrent of horses in the brigade, and most of the Mamunuk's knights were running desperately.

The purple armor that Captain Kritatu was dancing in front of him was undulating like a flag, and a black ridge involuntarily flew towards him.

"Long live Mamunuk!"

The first row of knights in front let out a cry that shook the heavens and the earth, and then the second row in the back, Gregor was also in the scream in his ears, and heard a whirring arrow cluster from the opposite side, a white arrow cluster, fluttering through his left side, and slammed into the armarmor of a veteran, Gregor was frightened into a cold sweat, and his whole body was lying on the back of the horse and did not dare to move,

"Don't be afraid, this soft bow can't shoot through the armor of the Mamunuk's knights!"

The veteran soldier who had been shot by the cluster of arrows laughed beside him, broke the tail of the arrow that was stuck in his arm armor and swayed from side to side with his hand, and threw it on the ground as if nothing had happened.

Gregor knew this old fellow with a big red nose, the veteran of the 3rd Squadron, Mamunuk, Chiridat, who was said to have been drunk once, and this old Mamunuk drunkenly boasted that he had killed 10 Normans.

Most of the Mamunuks are noncommittal about such a record, everyone knows that the two sons of Chery Dat died in the battle against the Normans, this guy dreams every day to be able to go to the battlefield and fight the Normans for real, instead of hiding behind the fortified walls of Kyoto and looking at the Normans on the opposite side

"Whoosh" another cluster of arrows grazed Gregor in the face, and if it weren't for the sturdy face armor, it might have left a scar on his handsome young face.

The target in front of him was getting closer and closer, and the flying arrows forced him to lay his head on the damp horse's neck, and the pungent smell of horse sweat drilled into his nose.

He seemed to be breathing through a layer of sassy brushes, indescribably uncomfortable, but that's it, he didn't shake the spear he held, and the inferior wooden-handled spear tightened on his ribs, because he was too nervous, his ribs hurt, and a layer of Han appeared in the palm of his hand, like a layer of greasy mucus,

This is an old Mamunuk teaching his tricks,

When charging in a group, any individual skill loses its effect.

The only thing you can do is to hold the spear in your hand tightly, and ensure that you can accurately pierce the spear into the target in front of you in the first time with the help of the sprint of the war horse.

Many novice knights are not skilled enough, and when they stab the spear in their hand, they are also stabbed by the opponent's spear, and the guide is killed in the first battle. Skilled veterans, on the other hand, will use their ribs to tighten their spears, and then reach out to stab the target when they approach, and the sudden length of the extension can often make the target be stabbed to death in panic.

Gregor was the third group of cavalry units put in, with a collapsed wooden fence and crowded infantry in front, almost blocking the road ahead,

The whole hillside was filled with spear-carrying infantry, and Gregor looked at it with some pride, judging from the current form, even the most ignorant people knew that their side had the right advantage,

The purple armor in front is so eye-catching, it is the captain of the first wave of Kritattu just now, his Mamunuk knights are the most elite troops of the entire legion, they have broken through the last barrier, the spears are like a forest, the reflection of the metal armor brings Grigor a burst of blood boiling, the lonely wooden castle on the slope is like a small boat that is about to be shattered in front of the monstrous waves

A Mamunuk knight was the first to climb to the top of the slope, and he raised his sword with excitement on his face, but he stopped halfway through it, and his strange behavior did not attract the attention of the knights behind him.

In fact, seeing someone climb the slope first, many of the Mamunuk knights raised their weapons and let out a shout of victory, and they had the impression that the enemy had been defeated and could not be contained, and as long as they rushed up this high slope, the thin and embarrassing wooden fort was completely a matter of hand

"There's an ambush!"

A terrible scream came from the top of the mountain, full of expressions of despair and grief,

The horsemen who were cheering saw the first warrior to rush up the hillside, his body trembled violently, and then he rolled down the hillside with men and horses, and then the Mamunuks found that the warrior's whole body was full of white arrows, and there was nothing to see behind him, but the whole front was completely torn, and the flesh and blood were blurry.

"What's going on?"

The Mamunuks looked at each other, and the surging cavalry group showed some stagnation,

At this moment, they heard a strange whistling sound coming from the sky overhead, and countless black dots shot down on the heads of the galloping Mamunuk knights like a swarm of locusts rising from the top of the mountain.

The blackness even gave the knights the feeling of being covered in the sky

"Hissing" war horses neighed, thousands of Mamunuk knights were unsuspected, even people and horses were shot by head-on arrows, hundreds of Mamunuk knights almost didn't even say a word, they tumbled down from their horses, and the corpses full of arrows fell from the horses, hitting the ground heavily, bringing up dust full of blood

"Stand up a shield, rush up if you don't want to die"

Seeing the companions tumbling and falling in front of them, the horsemen of Mamunuk's own strong martial arts were also undoubted, and they raised their shields extremely quickly, and instead of slowing down, they rushed forward with the oncoming arrows.

The "jingle" arrows struck the shield, and the horses kept rolling and crashing together because of the arrows, throwing the cavalry above hard

"Shoot all of them! Don't let anyone go!"

At the top of the hill, the raised hand of the leader of the Longbow Banner, Kerest, was lowered again. The 1,500 longbowmen, lined up in order, unhooked the tail of their arrows, and the fat man gave him the order to fire the longbow when the first Mamunuk knight rushed to the top of the slope

"Collapse, collapse, collapse!"

Fifteen hundred bowstrings, stretched to the extreme, once again made a muffled sound that tore through the air at the same time,

The special long arrows that burst out, bringing out the swirling air currents, crashed into the queue of Mamunuk's desperate charge, and the sound of a rippling cloth filled the air, which was the sound of the arrows tearing through the air with force

"Ah" A galloping Mamunuk knight, was shot by the arrow in the forehead, the metal armor on his face was blown to pieces by the powerful force, and the corpse and horse rolled out more than ten meters, thousands of thumb-thick longbows and arrows like a big net, shooting the Mamunuk knights who were not afraid to rush forward into a hornet's nest, often an arrow pierced the body of a Mamunuk, and the remaining strength was inserted into another Mamunuk,

"Prepare three rounds of shooting, and in 20 minutes, shoot all your arrows!"

Kerstay shouted excitedly, his lowered hand was raised again, the longbowmen pulled the bowstring in their hands again, the fierce tearing of the air sounded again, and a rain of arrows like a black mist fell on the heads of the Salanders again

The cluster of arrows shot quickly completely made the Mamunuk knights in a mess, they were wearing heavy armor, and they were not afraid of bow and arrow shooting, but the cluster of arrows shot from the opposite side was too evil, not only the impact was powerful, but also the heavy armor that they were proud of was as easy as tearing a thick piece of paper,

At first, the Mamunuk knights also hoped to be able to curb the opponent's long-range attacks through guò counterattack, but they found themselves wrong.

However, a short slope of 100 meters has completely become an insurmountable death line, and the arrows are flying sideways, sweeping like a sharp sickle, and any target that exposes the height of the top of the slope has become a corpse full of arrows.

More than a thousand corpses were piled up here, some of them died during the charge, and some of them died during the retreat, and it was impossible for the Thorn Tile Longbowmen to let these feats slip away, and the sharp longbows pierced through them, causing most of the Mamunuk knights to fall at the moment of turning back and fleeing.

"No, order everyone to retreat immediately!"

Molech on the opposite hillside also noticed that something was wrong, the two eyebrows were completely twisted together, he didn't expect that the northern army would ambush such a powerful archer in such a rout,

Maybe it was because of the knight's cry of "There is an ambush" before he died, or it could be that the opponent's sudden burst of powerful attack power made him have an ominous premonition,

It's a pity that his orders are difficult to carry out,

Hearing the order from behind, the Mamunuk generals, who were also shouting to retreat, could only smile helplessly at the corners of their mouths, and the 20,000 Salanders on the slope were crowded on this slope that was only more than 200 meters long in the chaos.

Clusters of arrows overhead kept falling, soldiers fell one by one, and the painful screams of the arrow-hit ones came from time to time from the chaotic crowd, this is the battlefield, and now no one can care about these poor fellows,

"Withdraw, withdraw!" shouted the captains of the Salander light infantry, one by one with red eyes, the largest in number, but also the most chaotic and pitiful

In front of them were the Mamunuk's knights, who had always been known for their bravery and fearlessness, and they were completely frightened at this moment, and their faces were panicked, and in order to be able to get away from the fire of the longbowmen on the top of the mountain, they even did not care about the infantry who were still crowded in the middle of the mountain road, and thus stepped over with their horses, causing a burst of abuse from the infantry

Behind them was the improvised wooden fence that had just been pulled out too late,

"Damn, this is a trap!"

Molech slammed his fist into the saddle with an indignant expression, yes, now he could see that these wooden fences were not used to resist the cavalry at all, but to restrain the cavalry who had rushed up the hill and retreated to the rear,

Now these facilities, which seemed useless before, are completely like spurs sticking out of the slope, so that the large number of Salander infantry and the knightly war horses in front are completely crowded together, and no one wants to quit, in the battlefield where time is life, this situation is simply suicidal

"Your Excellency. Look!"

Just as Molech was about to hit the wall in grief, a Mamunuk knight beside him suddenly raised his finger and shouted in an extremely frightened voice,

Molech looked over in annoyance, like a cat scalding its tail in boiling water, and shouted hoarsely, "No, no!"

"Boom" There was a loud sound like a muffled thunder, and countless red points of light were like squeezed snowballs, dragging long thick smoke across the heads of Salander's troops, which was the fire of projectile fuel bombs,

The moment the burning fireball hit the ground, it exploded from the middle, the red smoke scattered and shattered, and several Mamunouk knights were stained by the splashing flames, and even people and horses were lit into fireballs, making a series of terrible and miserable screams, and the ignited war horses were running around, igniting more places,

This undoubtedly hit the fatal point of the dense Salander army, this qiē changed too fast, completely out of everyone's common sense, just this moment, hundreds of fireballs dragging long smoke tails, already like a god of death falling from the sky, smashed down on the heads of the Salander people who were completely crowded below, countless fires and explosions were like huge circles of light, scattering the gorgeous petals of death on the earth
