When Amos entered the ambush circle, they immediately noticed that something was wrong. He immediately ordered his team to turn around, but it was only then that it was too late to wake up, so when the team of Amos turned around When they were in a state of chaos, they suffered a wave of intensive arrow rain that had long ambushed the Clan ambushes nearby.
Originally, the Clay warriors thought that their first wave of attacks would almost kill most popular shooters. After all, they were more than ten times the number of opponents. Unexpectedly, these popular shooters were wearing mail armor made of Mithril wire. The feather arrows shot by the Clay warriors simply could not penetrate this kind of protection. Only a dozen popular shooters were killed on the spot because they were hit by the head.
Amos was shot in the face by a feather arrow, and he was naturally killed on the spot. The remaining thirty or so shooters did not become confused by the sudden loss of the commander. The deputy captain of this team immediately shouted After taking over the command of Amos, he let the surviving comrades take the horse as a cover and began to fight back against the opponent.
There is no protection for the horses that the popular shooter rides, so under the shooting of the Clay warriors, these horses all mourned and fell down. The deputy captain who took over the command was in a hurry. The body of the dead companion was used as a cover to shoot the enemy, and desperately took out the secret "fireball" scroll of Ryan's hand.
A loud bang, the smoke from the fireball explosion rolled up, and the deputy captain of the popular shooter team knew that in clear weather, this thick black smoke was enough for the friendly forces tens of kilometers away, believe them Reinforcement will be provided here soon. And the Basel commander Basel certainly understands what this smoke means, he stomped a few feet, and the reserve team mobilized to join the attack.
Although there are 12oo Clay warriors, it is naturally impossible to use all the swarms in ambush combat. Basel can serve as the highest military chief of the Clay control area border, how can it not understand military knowledge? In this ambush, Basel placed a lot of people around the ambush circle. It is important not to let these attracted popular shooters escape, and also have the idea of ​​blocking the enemy reinforcements, but after the ambush began, the Clay tribe The commander was surprised. The 4oo Clay warrior he arranged in the ambush circle actually tied with the scout of the opponent less than 4o. Even if he invested 2oo reserve team, he took it in a short time. The opponent has no choice.
The Clare commander Basel was surprised to see an enemy scout trapped in the center of the ambush circle taking the horse and companion's body as a cover, pulling the longbow on his hand 22 times in a row, and killing one in each shot A Clay warrior, and the feather arrows shot by the Clay warrior, as long as they did not directly hit the opponent's head and other positions without armor, they could not cause any damage to these enemy scouts.
As a result of the shooting, the popular shooter killed three more people, while the ambushed Clay warrior died at least 2oo people. These Clay fighters are not real fighters, except for the 2oo people who are regarded as the reserve team by Basel, the others are only herders. These herdsmen only learned the combat skills in daily horseback hunting, but In the face of a bone that can't move at all, and this bone continues to kill its companions around them, they slowly lose their will to fight.
When the rushing horseshoe of the brigade shooter came from a distance, the commander of the Clare clan Basel reluctantly gave an order to retreat. This failed ambush was a huge shame for him, but if he did not retreat If it is, it is likely that it will be surrounded by the enemy's counterattack, and it will be more than worth the loss.
When a group of popular archers arrived after seeing the smoke call for help, there were only 32 members left in the ambushed archers team, and 7 of them were seriously injured and had lost their fighting power. The staff was cut by half, but the Clay warriors who hurried away left the body of 3oo companions here.
The sudden ambush message was quickly passed to the main force of the expeditionary force. Orlando immediately summoned the surviving deputy captain of the popular shooter squad, carefully inquired about the entire battle, and immediately ordered the whole army, especially the scouts. The troops should be vigilant, and they must not chase the Clares at will, so as not to fall into the trap again.
Orlando carefully sighed after carefully examining the bodies of the 3oo Clay tribes. From the decoration of these people's bodies, it was easy to tell that they belonged to 11 small tribes, but they were receiving news from the expeditionary army. The next day, these people were transferred together, and a trap could be carefully arranged to ambush the expeditionary scouts.
Fortunately, as the expeditionary scout, it was Ryan ’s elaborate popular shooter legion. Their solid Mithril Mail armor was not equipped even for the main soldier of the Jonas Legion. This light but unusually strong armor was supposed to be Suddenly, the popular shooters who had been annihilated by the whole army were spared. They also waited for reinforcements, which was considered a great fortune.
It is only after this battle that the Clay tribe will naturally increase the importance of this expeditionary army, and then the entire expeditionary army will inevitably undergo a greater test. And the fact is as expected by Orlando, on the third and fourth days of the expeditionary army, he did not encounter any Clay people.
Wherever the popular shooters went, all the Clay camps were quickly evacuated, and the materials that were too late to take were destroyed on the spot, and because of the large amount of slaughter of cattle and sheep, they even attracted a large number of The wolf pack, but the wolf pack did not cause any trouble to the expeditionary army, but let Lettoz, who came from the hunter, once again had a hunting addiction, and the expeditionary army had more food for several days.
Seeing that the Clares were beginning to settle down, Ryan not only did not worry, but began to admire Orlando, because this situation had long been expected. The more concentrated the Clan is, the easier it is to be defeated at once, and because the Clan has contracted their strength, it is difficult for their large troops to hide their tracks. Not to mention, only the army ’s daily drinking water is a A huge number, and the Expeditionary Army will slowly advance along the Orlando ’s pre-determined route and along the west of the South Taran Prairie with sufficient water resources. Sooner or later, it will meet the main forces of the Clan, and the final battle will also follow. Unfold.
When the expeditionary forces entered the prairie on the sixth day, the popular archers behind the main force began to have a large number of Clay Rangers now trailing behind them. The opponent will immediately turn around and run away, but if the popular shooters ignore it, the opponent will hang tightly outside the range of the bow and arrow.
Obviously, these new Clay forces are planning to harass the logistics channel of the Expeditionary Force, but Orlando has long considered this, the reason why the Jonas Army will bring 20,000 logistics personnel is to transport the huge It is enough for 70,000 or 80,000 people to eat more than 3 months of food, so the Clay fighters who followed the entire expeditionary force did not play a role.
Wherever the Expeditionary Force went, all kinds of traces will be left, and as long as these traces are carefully checked by those who know the common sense of the military, you can roughly figure out a lot of information about the Expeditionary Force, such as the strength of the Expeditionary Force, the general status of the arms, the Expeditionary Force Forage equipment, etc., and Orlando did not intend to hide this information at all. He just wanted to let the Clay people know that this expeditionary army was well prepared. He just wanted to let the Clay people know that neither the strong wall nor the continued retreat Stop the footsteps of the expeditionary force, thus forcing the Clay and the expeditionary force to fight the main battle.
For Orlando and the Expeditionary Forces, the most worrying thing is that the Clares desperately moved westward and abandoned a large number of cattle and sheep tents, that is, they did not engage the Expeditionary Forces. In this way, the purpose of the expedition could not be achieved, and the Imperial and Cassano alliances did not lift the threat from the west. However, this choice of the Clay tribe was based on sacrificing himself to the other enemies of the imperial capital. Obviously, with the ambition of Chief Abdul, it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing that harms the self.
Things are also as expected by Orlando. After the expeditionary army entered the grassland on the tenth day, they had penetrated into the prairie for almost 12oo kilometers. The Clays still did not hesitate to abandon all the cattle and sheep and tents on the expeditionary army marching route. Waiting for the supplies, but the Clay herdsmen gathered together slowly rolled into a huge number, this number is not inferior to the number of expeditionary forces, so under the investigation of the popular archers, the expeditionary army also slowly grasped The trail of these Klein herdsmen who migrated westward.
During this 1o day's march, Orlando has to find the most needed content from the intelligence collected by the popular shooter every day. Jonas naturally wants to command the entire army. Various trivial matters keep him busy. Ryan and Androcos, they still seem to have a lot of free time. The five magistrates in charge of the magician are responsible for maintaining the "Magic God Eye" magic circle. It only takes 5 or 6 hours a day to work, and the rest of the time is completely controlled by themselves.
Ryan is not the first time to come to the prairie, but he still likes this scene of being in the middle of the prairie, with an endless green ocean on all sides. As soon as he has time, he rides on the battlefield in the main force Outside Mercedes-Benz, feel the kind of freedom.
In the identity of Ryan, naturally no one will interfere with his personal preference. As for Ryan ’s own safety, if anyone can kill Ryan here, then Ryan will not escape even if he is hiding in the center of the tens of thousands of main forces. The fate of death.
