Heroes of Silver Moon

The vassals in charge of commanding the second line had the heavy infantry of the regular army armed with large shields and spears lined up as a shield wall in front of the militia spearmen.

The militia spearman put the spear in his hand directly on the large shield of the heavy infantry, and formed a watertight hedgehog formation with these heavy infantry.

Once the Hood family's army approached a certain distance, the hedgehog made of large shields and spears would quickly switch positions with the archers in front.

When the soldiers of the Hood family successfully squeezed through the carriages lined up, what they will face are these sturdy large shields and sharp spears.

As for the light infantry in the third row, they sat up on the spot to conserve their strength.

When the hedgehog formation in the second line cannot be maintained, it is the time when they will meet the enemy hand-to-hand.

For this, they must save enough energy.

"Let the archers and light infantry advance," after the horn of war sounded, he glanced at the Hawke family on the opposite side, and then the Marquis Hood ordered directly.

Now the distance between the armies of the two sides is neither far nor close, about 400 meters or so.

Because of the magic power that exists everywhere in the world, the physique of humans in this world is much stronger than that of the humans on the blue star in Simon's previous life.

But even with magic power, it is impossible for archers in this world to shoot more than 400 meters with one arrow.

Except for master rangers like Quick Arrow, of course!

The range of the militia archers is about 150 meters, and the range of the regular army archers is about 200 meters.

Now the distance between the two sides is more than 400 meters. If they want to attack each other with arrows, the Hood family must at least shorten the distance to 200 meters.

"Yes, my lord." After hearing Marquis Hood's order, two messengers on horseback rushed to the first and second queues respectively.

After receiving the message from the messenger, the light infantry of the second row of the Hood family, under the command of a retainer, passed the archers of the first row and walked slowly behind the barrier that was used as a battlefield fortification.

Hundreds of light infantry without shields worked together to lift the more than one hundred baffles.

Then the light infantry with shields raised their shields, and the light infantry without shields hid behind the baffle, and the two thousand light infantry of the Hood family began to slowly advance towards the Hawke family.

After the two thousand light infantry advanced fifty meters, the retainers who commanded the archer formation began to order the archer formation to start advancing.

After advancing to the range of the archers, the archers of the Hawke family will definitely take the lead in firing salvos.

Under such circumstances, if these weakly protected archers are still at the forefront, they will definitely suffer heavy losses!

It is undoubtedly a better choice to let those light infantry with shields and baffles attract the first round of salvos from the Hawke family.

As for the Hawke family's position, as the Hood family's light infantry and archers began to advance, Sivir was also constantly calculating the distance beside Valery.

"Three hundred meters, two hundred and eighty meters, two hundred and sixty meters, my lord, it's two hundred and forty meters." After the soldiers of the Hood family advanced to a certain distance, Xi Weier turned his head to Warley Li said.

Although it is now two hundred and forty meters, if Valery gives the order and the messengers go to deliver the order, these members of the Hood family should just advance to about two hundred meters.

Therefore, for Xavier, this was the most suitable reporting distance. When fighting the barbarians in the past, they also communicated orders to the archers at this distance.

"Wait a little longer." Unexpectedly, Valery did not give orders at this distance as in previous wars.

Seeing Valery's tense expression, Xi Weier's heart skipped a beat, knowing that their lord seemed to have other plans.

So, Xi Weier continued to observe the distance.

"It's two hundred meters away." Looking at Valery, who had been slow to give the order, Xi Weier's palms were involuntarily sweating.

"One hundred and ninety meters away." Staring at the Hood family, this group of mighty soldiers advanced, and Xi Weier subconsciously shortened the reporting interval.

"Order the archers to start firing salvos." After hearing Sivir's report this time, Valery, who was riding on horseback, suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes, and loudly ordered to the orderling.

"Yes", the time was running out, the orderly only replied briefly, but quickly ran towards the archer formation on horseback.

After receiving the order from the messenger, the retainer who commanded the archer formation quickly ordered the archers who were already ready to start the first round of volley.

At this time, the light infantry at the forefront of the Hood family had advanced to 150 meters.

"Ready, let go", accompanied by a roar from the retainers, more than 500 archers instantly let go of their bowstrings.

"Whoosh", a dense rain of arrows pierced the sky and landed directly on the heads of the Hood family's light infantry.

"Ah!", more than 500 arrows fell from the sky, even though most people were protected by shields and baffles~www.wuxiaspot.com~, there were still more than 20 unlucky ones who died directly from the arrows.

Moreover, there are more than 30 people who have suffered arrow wounds to varying degrees.

"Place the baffle and charge quickly," the Hood family's retainer commanding the light infantry hurriedly roared after enduring the first wave of arrow rain.

Hearing the commander's order, the light infantry holding shields let go of their steps in an instant, with the shields on their heads running towards the Hawke family.

Now they have entered the shooting range of the opponent's archers, that is to say, during this period of time, the faster they charge, the less arrow rain they have to bear.

The light infantry with shields began to charge, while the light infantry who had no shields and held up baffles stopped immediately and began to place baffles on the ground.

These baffles are not for them!

Seeing that the soldiers began to install the baffles, the Hood family's line of archers who were slowly advancing also immediately galloped.

That's right, those baffles are just for archers like them!

With these baffles, they can shoot against the Hawke family's archers.

On the side of the Hawke family, the retainers who commanded the archer team naturally also discovered this situation.

So he gave up attacking the light infantry who were charging, and transferred the archers of the Hawke family to aim their arrows at the light infantry who were placing the baffles.

"Continue long-distance projectile, prepare, release"

As soon as an order was issued, another rain of arrows fell on the heads of the Hood family and the soldiers who were placing the baffles in an instant.

"Ah!", the rain of arrows fell, and one after another screamed.

This round of arrow rain caused at least two hundred Hood family casualties.
