Chapter 228: "·Battle of the Long Bow·Four"

The true philosophy is written in the greatest book that is often opened in front of our eyes. This book is the universe, which is the nature itself, and people must read it.

The battle on the entire battlefield has been in a state of anxiety. Francis's dominant army of the road can't break through the Roman army's middle-lance phalanx. Especially after Bai Feng sent the ghosts of the battlefield and 10,000 reinforcements, the battle of the Roman army was more stable.
However, the successful blockade of the Central Army did not allow Bai Feng's plan to be successfully implemented; because the right-wing army commanded by Iggs was unable to defeat the 40,000 troops under Assam's command, and even the victory may not be achieved in a short time.
Too fierce battles not only made Assam’s army difficult, but also caused the three Roman legions to falter; the similar fighting power of the two sides caused each other to pay extremely heavy casualties.
During the entire hour of fighting, 45,000 Roman soldiers paid the cost of more than 5,000 deaths, and their result was that the enemy army fell from 40,000 to about 30,000; this is the result of the three army commanders personally fighting. Otherwise, even this victory will be lost.
The only breakthrough in the three-way army was the left-wing army that Bai Feng personally sat in; Atabaz’s offensive troops were always unable to get rid of the quagmire and hit the hills. Instead, they were completely defeated by the long archers’ arrow rain cover. Now!
One and a half hours after the outbreak of war, Atabaz’s headquarters, which killed more than two-thirds, finally collapsed across the board; 10,000 long archers used two pots of arrows to wipe out more than 20,000 enemy soldiers. The enemy was not injured or killed. More than 10,000 people, but killed more than 20,000 people!
The warriors who were injured and lost their fighting power under Atabaz had no chance to evacuate the longbowmen's arrow rain. The coverage was flooded by the wave of arrow rain; from the hill 400 meters away, to Two hundred meters away from the hill, this area is full of dense arrows, like a forest of arrows.
The furious and angry Atabaz, when desperately approaching two hundred meters from the hill, was shot dead on the spot by the 27th wave of arrows and arrows from the long archers; even those with the strength of a high swordsman Atabaz could not resist, let alone other ordinary fighters.
The death of the general can certainly arouse the hearts of enemy soldiers and enemies in a short period of time, but the boiling blood, and the impenetrable arrow rain can only flow in vain, this is the sorrow of the weak .
There is blood in the air, but it cannot change the cruel reality. If you want to kill the enemy in front, you can only fall under the arrow rain of the enemy; Atabaz’s death caused the soldiers under his command to launch a decisive death. It is a pity that it is a worthless sacrifice.
The warriors of Atabaz's tribe, separated from the long archers of the Roman army, were always separated by a two-hundred-meter-long rift; after almost everyone injured them, after losing the commander-in-chief and command of the general, Eventually it collapsed.
The enemy soldiers who had been rushing forward in a frenzy, now turned around and fled, and the long archers commanded by Perez still orderly inserted the third pot of arrows they just took into the muddy water under their feet, and then pulled out new ones. The arrows continued to shoot.
The fleeing enemy forces exposed their backs to the long archer of Peres, and the merciless Peres once again relentlessly ordered the shooting; those of the enemy soldiers who had to escape in the mire were unable to Escape the range of the longbowmen.
For nearly two hours of battle, the left wing of the Roman army did not pay the price of one soldier per death, and it wiped out the 30,000 elite soldiers on the right of the enemy. Even the enemy’s right wing commander Atabaz Did not escape the rain of arrows of the long archers.
This is a longbowman's war, and no unit participating in the war can achieve such a record as the longbowman; from the moment when the right wing army of the enemy is completely annihilated, the right wing army of Iggs is no longer this battle. The decisive factor.
The reason why Francis, the coach of the Aisini army, would sit and watch his right wing army be wiped out is because he has no way to crack the long bow and arrow rain of the Roman army, and he has no ability to save the struggling soldiers who are caught in the arrow rain. Them.
Francis is not Atabaz, he is not a fierce and impetuous warrior, he is a persistent and calm King Essini; blindly rescued less than 10,000 soldiers in the rain of arrows, the result is only more Only casualties.
Francis, who was struggling inside, still defeated his impulse reasonably, and waited for the annihilation of his right 30,000 army. Compared with the annihilation of the 30,000 army, Francis was more concerned about whether Nabazzani could break through the enemy’s front line as soon as possible. .
The loss of the right wing of your own army means that the left wing of the enemy can turn to the middle army to reinforce them; this is for the Nabazzani army who can hardly break through the frontal defense line of the enemy for a while. It was a disaster!
Francis, who was helpless, had to immediately order the 20,000 soldiers around him to immediately enter the battle, reinforce the Nabazzani headquarters, which was fighting hard, and the other side ordered 30,000 cavalrymen to turn around and retreat.
As the king of the Kingdom of Aisini, Francis still understood the choice; the war in front of him was almost impossible to win. Even if he could break through the enemy’s front line in time, it would be difficult to resist the enemy’s long archer. The attack of the troops.
The muddy land is the most perfect natural barrier for enemy archers. As long as they fight in this quagmire, victory has almost become impossible for Francis. In fact, the most doubtful thing about Francis is the range of enemy archers.
He really couldn't understand why the archers of the enemy could shoot arrows 400 meters away and still maintain a strong lethality. This is simply the subversive and cruel reality of subverting the Francis worldview.
The Nabazzani, with nearly 10,000 dead and wounded by the army, after receiving the 20,000 reinforcements sent by Francis, directly invested the 20,000 troops into the attack on the two wings of the enemy's long-gun phalanx; as for the enemy's frontal long-gun phalanx , He has completely given up.
After the archer unit of Peres wiped out the enemy's right wing army, Bai Feng ordered Peres to take the long archers immediately with arrows and approached the right side of the middle army. The reinforcements were being attacked by the enemy on three sides. Army of the Middle Road.
Bai Feng originally planned to use 10,000 long archers to completely defeat the main force of the enemy's middle road, but Paris made an objection; the reason is that the eight thousand temporary long archers are no longer able to fight, only two thousand elite Longbowmen can also fight.
Well, it was only after Paris’ opposition to Bai Feng that they responded. These temporary longbowmen had fired fifty rounds of arrow rain in a row; even if they were all barbarian warriors with amazing arm strength, this reached their limit. , They are really powerless to fight anymore.
Bai Feng, who had broken his mind, had to leave the eight thousand temporary long archers to rest on the spot. He led the two thousand long archers of Parris and three other troops that had never had the opportunity to participate in the war. .
