Chapter 225: "·Battle of the Long Bow·One"

Truth possesses such power. The more you want to attack it, the more substantial your attack will be and prove it.
Galileo (Italian mathematician, physicist, astronomer, pioneer of the scientific revolution)
The 150,000 army led by Francis embarked on the journey of advancing again early this morning; just less than half an hour later, they entered this muddy area that had been engulfed by heavy rain.
As Igers predicted to Francis, he did not choose to stop marching in front of the quagmire, but he did not hesitate to order his army to continue to go deeper into the quagmire to march forward, but their marching speed slowed down helplessly.
Facts have proved that the army under Francis is not much stronger than the soldiers of the Roman army. Soon after entering the quagmire area, all the 100,000 infantry of the Aisini army became the barefoot army, and the 30,000 cavalry became even more. Infantry holding a war horse.
The situation in the quagmire is not easy, and the consumption of physical strength during the march is also more than usual. This undoubtedly weakened the combat power of the Aisini army in many ways, so that they fell into the invisible before the war. Downwind.
Francis led his army of 150,000. In this quagmire, it was difficult to move forward for more than two hours before he was able to enter the scope of Baifeng. When Baifeng could find the army of Francis, Francis naturally also Bai Feng was found.
Francis, who had been walking on foot, noticed that there were more than one hundred thousand troops in front of him, and immediately came to the side of the attendant who led his horse. He turned his horse to observe the situation in front.
The deployment of the Roman army was quite distinct. The Francis only smiled contemptuously at a glance, and then gave orders to the servants around them, and let them communicate the orders to the two left and right wings. General.
Based on Francis' judgment of the Roman army ahead, he concluded that the army in black not far in front of him included about 20,000 troops in the army, about 40,000 troops in the left-wing hill, and over the right-wing hill. There are more than 30,000 people in the army.
From the perspective of Francis, the left wing of the Roman army is actually the right wing in the eyes of Francis, and it is also the enemy of the 30,000 army under the command of General Atabaz. Under the circumstances on the battlefield, Francis decided to maintain his own Formation.
The so-called maintenance formation is that Francis intends to use his 50,000 infantry soldiers and 30,000 cavalry soldiers in his middle army to directly attack the more than 20,000 enemy forces on the front, and use the thunder to crush the overwhelming enemies on the opposite side. military.
The left-wing 40,000 infantry led by General Assam attacked more than 40,000 generals of the left-wing enemy; the right-wing 30,000 infantry led by General Atabaz was more than 30,000 generals of the right-wing enemy Launch an attack.
In the eyes of Francis, this suddenly appeared black army, it is impossible to tie with the same number of elite warriors under his command, victory in war is just a matter of course.
Even if General Assam’s left wing army and General Atabaz’s right wing army are temporarily unable to defeat a slightly larger number of enemy forces, Francis has absolute confidence that he can wipe out the enemy’s mid-way army in one go, which is a full four times difference. army!
After the order of Francis was completed, the whole of the Aisini's army lined up one after another with a thunderous trumpet sound. Then, Assam's left wing army and Atabaz's right wing army The sound of a bugle echoed from far away.
As the sound of the bugle sounded, the soldiers of the Essini Kingdom solemnly threw the messy things in their hands into the muddy water temporarily, and pulled out the sword from their waists, and began to accelerate as fast as possible. Now!
After receiving the order of Francis, the left-wing Assam headquarters of the Aisini army also adjusted its direction a little to the left, and launched an attack on the right-wing army of the Roman army; its right-wing Atabaz headquarters was also The same strategy has been adopted.
Bai Feng, who was sitting on the war horse again, could clearly see the deployment of the Francis army, but he did not care about the enemy's attack; the muddy land became the best help for the Roman army, and the enemy's attack was fundamental The battle of the Roman army could not be threatened.
In particular, the 30,000 elite cavalry, the most powerful enemy of the enemy, have now become the cavalry who led the war horses. This result is undoubtedly the most beneficial to the Roman army; if you lose the enemy cavalry, what Break through the invincible Macedonian phalanx!
One thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, when the right-wing army of the Aisini army entered the 500-meter range of the left-wing army of the Roman army; Peris, who served as the long archer, faced him loudly. The longbowmen ordered:
"Once the enemy entered the 400-meter range, everyone obeyed the command to launch the enemy; every three shots were a round. After the round was shot, the shot was suspended. After adjusting the shooting angle slightly, I followed my order to start shooting. "
The silent battle front made Parris’ command clearly heard by all the long archers. Bai Feng also nodded to Parris quite appreciatively; this professional archer commander is different. The command is also much stronger than the layman.
At five hundred meters, four hundred and fifty meters, four hundred meters, when the enemy’s Atabaz headquarters had just entered the range of four hundred meters from the hill where the Roman archer was, the well-prepared Parris was high. Shouted:
"Shoot!"
With this order from Paris, tens of thousands of long archers released their right hands at the same time and shot their bows fiercely; tens of thousands of arrows formed a black arrow The rain hurled toward the enemy in the distance.
This round of arrow rain had not yet covered the enemy's head, and the long archers quickly withdrew the next arrow from the arrows prepared at their waists, and bowed the arrow and shot it hard; then, it was the third The arrow was shot again.
When the first wave of arrow rain appeared in the eyes of Atabaz, he had no time to give orders to the soldiers under his command to avoid the arrow rain, and he was pushed down in the mud by his followers; the next second The dense arrows covered Atabaz.
Atabaz, who was closely protected by his followers, was not attacked by Arrow Rain, but all his followers who wanted to protect him were killed by Wan Jian through the heart; other casualties were even worse. Only in this round of arrow rain, thousands of casualties at Atabaz!
However, this is just the beginning; Atabaz just wanted to push away the followers who pressed himself, and he heard the sound of a lot of arrows shooting into the flesh, his side was once again airtight Arrow rain was enveloped.
Three successive waves of arrows made the soldiers under Atabaz mourn. The countless soldiers shot on the spot fell to the ground like hedgehogs, but more were the wounded who were shot and wailed in blood.
Watching his soldiers pay such a price before touching his enemies, Atabaz jumped out of the ground with anxiety and his eyes were red with his long sword in his hands and ordered:
"All the warriors rushed me forward to avenge the dead and wounded brothers! Kill!"
