If this situation is stalemate, it will be detrimental to the Clan, because the darkness will pass sooner or later, without the protection of the night, the Clay who attacked tonight will expose their shortcomings of insufficient military strength, and the emperor will expedite The army can make a big move, although they are not as good as their riding, but the 20,000 or 30,000 they bring is enough to offset the motive power of the Clay cavalry. By then, the raid battle has become a war of attrition. Army annihilated.
Clay commander Saimir looked up at the still dark sky and issued the fourth order tonight. The 6ooo Clay fighters were divided into two teams, and they overwhelmed the two sides of the expeditionary camp. They kept a distance of about 3oo meters from the expeditionary military camp, and then controlled the horses to run slowly.
After all the fighters entered the attack range, the Clay fighters who had lived on horseback since childhood grew out of their short bows and began to pour feather arrows towards the expeditionary camp. Shooting on the horseback of Mercedes-Benz, due to the bumps, the quasi-head is naturally much worse. It ’s just that the 3ooo people shoot together, and they shoot at a fixed target, which is not a problem.
The shattered and crisp horseshoe sound is particularly clear in the quiet night. The Clay warriors who were ordered to shoot around the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Army Camp under the leadership of their respective captains methodically shot at the target 3oo meters away. The arrows flew to the target relentlessly, penetrating everything they could penetrate.
I don't know who shot the feather arrow that happened to enter the temporary stable of the Imperial Expeditionary Force. The feather arrow directly drilled into the head of a war horse, and the horse immediately fell to the ground with a wail. Then a feather arrow penetrated the tent and shot into the stable, but this time it was just scratched from the ear of another war horse, and a long blood stain was opened on the head of the war horse.
The war horse was shocked and pained, and of course it was instinctively desperately struggling, and soon broke the reins that tied it. After losing the shackles, the injured warhorse jumped and jumped out of the temporary stable, and at the same time brought down most of the tents. The startled horse that ran out also caused a little confusion in the expeditionary camp.
The Clare warriors who caused this result were trying to get closer to the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Camp to achieve better results. However, their captains commanded them to continue to move forward as they did because the Imperial Capital The manifestation of the expeditionary force was too abnormal. Even if a war horse was frightened and fluttered in the camp, it was quickly beheaded, and the whole camp remained calm.
The Clay warriors running outside the expeditionary military camp continued to run and shoot while keeping the rhythm, but only ten minutes later, they met east of the expeditionary military camp. In order to facilitate bow archery, the Clay warriors used a loose formation, with a distance of 4, 5 meters between each warrior. This wide distance is enough for another Clay warrior to ride through it. The leaders of the two Clan warriors did not plan to turn around or the whole team. A series of whistle sounds directly from their mouths, and they greeted their companions who came towards the opposite side with their men. Obviously they were going to go directly from Go through the gap.
Even in the daytime with good sight, this kind of crossing is not an easy thing, not to mention the dark night, but these Clay warriors grew up on horseback since childhood, this kind of thing is for them Words are a breeze, because every Clay warrior is extremely relaxed.
The two captains who led the team were naturally familiar with each other. They ran ahead of the team and also pulled out their scimitars. The two opposing teams began to cross each other and rubbed their companions. When they passed, the two captains struck each other's weapons with their scimitar backs to show their respect.
The vibrato that came out after the scimitars struck each other was exceptionally clear at night, and even the crisp horseshoe sound could not cover its spread. Unexpectedly, after the crisp tapping sound, there was a little The suppressed roar. The two captains who were commanding their subordinates with a whistle were frightened. Of course they understood what this whistle meant, so the two captains no longer had the previous ambitions, but screamed with all their strength: "enemy attack! ! Spread out immediately! Spread out immediately! "
When the two captains shouted, the 6ooo Clay fighters of the two teams just overlapped together. The original loose formation also became a tight formation at this moment. After hearing the captain ’s order and the sky After the slightly repressed roar, these soldiers immediately began to evade, but now there was not much space around for them to move.
"Woo!" The large black cloud roared down from directly in front of the Clay warriors. The Clay warriors who saw this scene were all ashamed. On the body, both fell to the ground, while others waved the scimitar in their hands desperately, reacting instinctively.
When this violently flying "black cloud" turned into "pour heavy rain" and faced down towards these Clay warriors, the Clay warriors finally saw clearly that the "black cloud" was composed of countless thick Short crossbow arrows. This kind of arrow shooting with a crossbow is not very long, but the penetration is very strong. It can even penetrate the mail at a close distance of one or two hundred meters, not to mention the range of more than 3oo meters. Pass through the Clay warriors who have almost no leather armor and the body of their crotch warhorse.
"Ah!" The screams lay one after another on the silent prairie. Each crossbow arrow continued to fly after penetrating the body of the Clay warrior and his crotch warrior mercilessly, if there were still people on their flight path , Continue to penetrate the past, and finally inserted deeply on the ground obliquely.
"Hoo!" Another dark cloud was galloping, and another heavy rain was pouring down. The long-suffering imperial expeditionary archers finally waited for the opportunity to vent their anger. Under the command of the archer, Thomas, 5ooo name The crossbow archer repeatedly repeated the mechanism of pulling the crossbow arrow, pouring a full 20,000 crossbow arrows onto the heads of the Clay warriors and directly to the west of the expeditionary barracks. After the archer led Thomas in Colin, he also commanded The longbow shooters under him attacked the Clay who were still shooting outside the camp. Because the Clay warriors shoot fire arrows, their range is at most 8oo meters, and Thomas ’s men are the best archers in the imperial capital. The long bow on their hands is enough to shoot a distance of 1ooo meters or more. The range difference is enough to decide the outcome of a battle.
