Chapter 226: "·Battle of the Long Bow·Two"

You cannot teach a person any knowledge, because you can only help him find what he wants to learn.

Atabaz, who had never been hit hard by this, was completely irritated. He issued a command of full-scale charge, but his soldiers were not so easy to rush up, and the muddy land became their biggest charge. Obstacles.
The long archers commanded by Paris, after shooting the first three waves of arrows, began to adjust tensely; all the long archers grabbed an arrow from the arrow pot on the ground and inserted it in their waists. Be ready to start the second round of shooting under the order of Paris.
Of the first three waves of arrow rain, the greatest damage to the enemy was the first wave of arrow rain. The second and third waves of arrow rain were significantly less lethal than the first wave of arrow rain; Prevention awareness is concerned, after all, the enemy also has a shield in the hands.
When they are unprepared, the arrow rain sent by thousands of arrows is bound to be terrifying to their lethality. When they raise the round shield in their hands for defense, the lethality of the arrow rain will be reduced, but they will be There are still many enemy troops shot and killed.
Just as the long archers added arrows, the enemy also seized the opportunity to launch the charge again; but the enemy's charge was the opportunity that Perez waited for, and he also pulled a sharp arrow from the waist, and then While locating the angle accurately, he commanded loudly:
"Second round of arrow rain, shoot!"
At the same time that the shot was screamed by Perez, he took the lead in shooting the arrow in his hand. The long archers under his command immediately pulled out the arrows in the waist and shot the first shot of the second round at the same angle. A wave of arrows rain.
The Atabaz army who re-launched the charge could not break the shackles of the quagmire. The more they wanted to accelerate through this short 300-meter-high, the easier it was to fall into the quagmire, and even many fighters were shocked Slammed into the muddy water.
Before they could shorten the distance between themselves and the hill to 300 meters, the fourth archery of the long archers came; the warriors who had already been prepared immediately raised their round shields in their hands, but the round shields The effect is far less than they imagined.
The soldiers under Atabaz once again paid a heavy price for the casualties. Countless brave and combative Essini warriors, who had not actually dealt with the enemy, were killed by the enemy's arrows and planted in the muddy water. It is impossible to stand up.
If Atabaz was still angry and rushing to the crown, then now he is already violently thundering; Atabaz is angry like a beast who wants to choose someone to eat, and growls from his hoarse throat. Issued to.
Unfortunately, his anger did not allow him to leap to the position of the Roman army at once, nor did his soldiers have the ability to resist the attack of the arrow rain; excessive anger only took Atabaz’s last sense of reason Devoured.
Atabaz, who had completely lost his mind, no longer ignored the soldiers behind him. His eyes only had enemies in front of him. Irritable, he desperately needed the blood of the enemy to resolve his anger, so he rushed forward regardless of everything. went.
The soldiers under Atabaz were all loyal fighters who followed Atabaz for nearly ten years; at first, Atabaz led the army to betray Prasus, and then defeated the army of Francis. Aren't these warriors?
How could these loyal soldiers who were loyal to Atabaz just sit by and watch Atabaz charge the enemy's battle front; at the moment when Atabaz charged, the soldiers behind him also struggled Followed behind him.
The assault of no return is shocking, but the exposed flesh and blood body is the best target for the arrow; the long archers under Parris quickly began the third round of shooting, the fourth round of shooting, the first Five rounds of shooting...
Twenty-four sharp arrows in an arrow pot are enough for the long archers under Perris to shoot for eight rounds; the rain of arrows composed of 30,000 arrows per round can kill at least one or two thousand lives of the enemy, After eight rounds of arrow rain, less than half of the 30,000 enemy troops are already under!
At this time, the other two armies on the battlefield were also caught in fierce fighting; Francis's mid-army did not put all the 80,000 troops into battle at once, but was led by Nabazzani first. 30,000 infantry launched the first round of charge.
The fighting between the two sides of the middle army was limited to the middle of the two mountain enterprises. The two Macedonian phalanxes of the Roman army could just start in this narrow terrain. The 80,000 army under Francis was not so easy to start.
In addition, Francis did not intend to really let his cavalry charge like an infantry, so he decisively sent Nabazzani to lead 30,000 elite warriors to break through the enemy formation, and he himself led the other 50,000 The army sat in the rear.
Nabazzani’s 30,000 army wanted to rush to the front of the long-armed phalanx of the Roman Central Army. The long archers deployed on the left and right wings of the lance phalanx were not vegetarian; the salvo of more than two thousand long archers, It is also an attack that cannot be ignored.
From 400 meters away from the rifle square to the front of the lance phalanx, the Nabazzani soldiers paid a full cost of more than 3,000 casualties; there has not been an official battle, and the morale of the fighters of Nabazzani Suffered the first round of heavy damage.
When they broke through the distance of 400 meters and approached directly in front of the lance phalanx, they were greeted by the gun forest assault of the lance phalanx! The uniformly long spear spikes made the first wave of approaching enemy soldiers immediately become blood gourds in front of the pike phalanx.
Such a tragic scene aroused the blood of other barbarian fighters at once, they shouted the slogan of the charge, and they went forward and succeeded in launching a wave of charges against the rifle of the Roman army.
Nabazzani, who did not lose his mind, also transferred 10,000 soldiers into two left and right wings, made breakthroughs from the leftmost and rightmost sides of the pikeman phalanx, and quickly fell into a fight with the Roman army soldiers covering the wings.
The four pike phalanx of the Cheetah Legion were under the mad impact of the enemy, and they did not show the slightest timidity; whenever a wave of enemy troops rushed up, the three rows of pikemen in front would struggle to stab their hands. The super long gun completely defeated the enemy troops that rushed up.
Even if a spearman is unfortunately killed by an enemy force who rushed up, the pikeman behind him will immediately take a step forward to supplement it to maintain the stability of the entire pike phalanx; from beginning to end, the cheetah corps' spear There was no trace of disorder in the phalanx.
Compared with the calmness of the Cheetah Corps, the performance of the Tahia Army is much worse; even when the enemy launched the first round of the charge, the Tachia Army’s lance phalanx appeared chaotic, and its own casualties were also The Cheetah Legion is much larger.
There was also a spear phalanx that was almost broken up by the enemy’s charge. If the two Macedonian Royal Pikemen rushed up and stabilized the formation in time, I am afraid that the long phalanx of the Tassia Legion will be overwhelmed by the enemy. Now!
