Lord of Riding and Slashing

Nord quickly sorted out the formation, and the finished products of the three arms were arranged in a font. At the top were 200 Amon spearmen. Although only a few small captains were qualified to wear chain mail, Nord wanted to give They increased their defenses, and now each spearman went into battle wearing two layers of leather armor.

Because Nord is not short of animal fur now, and the production of leather armor has exceeded the quota. Now, in addition to trading with the mountain people as a commodity, they can only sell a few sporadically in the market, and the rest can only be piled in The dust accumulation in the warehouse, unless Nord continues to expand until the next time, the production capacity of the fur workshop can quickly fill the entire warehouse.

So Nord distributed the extra leather armor to the spearmen. They wear double leather armor, and they can survive more in close combat. The thick leather armor can also bring these spearmen Comforted in their hearts with big hands, they held black iron and wood spears without moving as a mountain in the face of the rushing enemy.

The two wings behind the spearmen are crossbowmen and archers respectively. Their camps are inclined, which can maximize the advantages of output and concentrate the enemy's weaknesses, because the frontal protection must be very beneficial, but the flanks are Not necessarily, the arrows flying from the side will catch them off guard.

Nord did not let his soldiers take the initiative to attack, not only because of the large number of people on the opposite side, but also because Nord's troops did not have much impact. On the contrary, the defensive strength was even better, especially the formation. Sometimes, Nord's long-range output will make the enemy feel desperate.

Just when the two earls led the troops into the range of 300 meters, they immediately let the soldiers rushing to the front erect their big shields. This is the way they came up with after suffering a big loss yesterday, because Nuo The reason why the German troops have sharp bows and arrows, they can only think of this method, but they can only make a few simple large wooden shields in a short time.

Originally, these soldiers in the northern border also had some shields, because shields were also a necessity for them when they fought against the Seaman Kingdom. The archers and light infantry of the Seaman Kingdom are the characteristics of their country. In combat, each soldier must carry a shield.

But the reason why it is very inconvenient to carry a shield is that after all, a heavy wooden shield consumes a lot of energy. After the battle with the Seaman Kingdom, many soldiers discarded the wooden shield, because wooden shields are not rare equipment. Trees can build as many as they want, which is different from the weapons in their hands.

The rebels who had combat experience began to raise their shields at a distance of 300 meters. They seemed cautious, because the two earls knew that the archers of the Nord army had a very long range, so they were very cautious today, not only temporarily Equipped with shields, they started to take precautions from a long distance away. They want to see what else Nord can do. In the battle with the Seaman Kingdom, they have sufficient experience in defense with bows and arrows.

Nord frowned when he saw them take out the big wooden shields from behind, and then suddenly relieved, because Nord saw that they raised the shields at an angle above their heads. This method is a very standard way to defend against bows and arrows, because bows and arrows Hitting the enemy at a long distance is a parabolic trend, so it is right for the enemy on the opposite side to do so.

But Nord's men not only have archers, but also crossbowmen they have never seen before. Although the crossbow shot by the crossbow will have a certain falling trajectory, it is not as exaggerated as the bow and arrow, because of the strength. , the crossbow arrows concentrate the enemy from the front, unlike bows and arrows that fall obliquely from above.

Now that they opened the door wide, Nord was no longer polite when he saw this, and directly let the crossbowmen on the right launch the first wave of offensives. The crossbowmen pulled the trigger in their hands, and there was a sound of bowstring vibration, and the crossbow bolts were fired. With a strong force, he broke through the air in front of the formation and attacked the front group of soldiers holding wooden shields.

Suddenly, the soldiers who raised their shields fell down, because they were all ordinary soldiers without armor. Those noble knights would not rush to the front at this time, knowing that there were very powerful archers on the opposite side. Under the circumstances, it still needs to consume some cannon fodder.

These fallen shieldmen frightened the soldiers behind them. These people didn't think why they were shot by bows and arrows when they raised their shields, but the Nord crossbowmen quickly told them the answer, because the first The crossbow bolts of the soldiers in the second row followed closely behind.

There was another puffing sound, and many figures fell down from the cannon fodder group. Now everyone finally understood why they fell down when they raised their shields. It was different from the previous arrows, because the crossbow arrows came from their bodies. The one who shot forward, the knights behind immediately understood, and began to scold the soldiers in front for picking up their shields.

These panicked cannon fodders hurriedly picked up the shields on the ground, and their whole bodies were huddled behind the big wooden shield. They were afraid that they would be the next to fall. They only heard a sound of tumbling, and the cannon fodder in front of the rebel army felt When the wooden shield in their hands was hit, they felt a lot of comfort. Although the crossbow bolts shot on the wooden shield made their hands numb, it was better than shooting themselves.

The third row of crossbowmen did not hit as many enemies as the first two rows. After all, the enemy was already prepared, and it was impossible to continue to achieve the first unprepared record. Nord was not too disappointed. Taking advantage of the time when the crossbowmen were winding up, he asked the archer on his left to start a volley.

Because at this moment, the rebel army has approached 200 meters in front of the Nord formation, and it is within the range of the archers. The archers' shooting method is not the three-shot shooting of the crossbowmen, because there is no shortage of archers. The ability to continuously output, and their rate of fire is also very fast, unlike crossbowmen, who can't hold a fart for a long time.

The archers need a large-scale volley to display their strength, and the hunters who just came from behind also stood behind the archers. Nord also incorporated them into the formation of the archers, because they They are originally of the same origin, and the salvo does not pay attention to accuracy, just follow the rhythm and shoot arrows in one place.

Therefore, the number of archers in the Nord army unexpectedly reached 300 people. Following Nord's order, the archers made a bow string vibration sound different from that of the crossbow. The comparison of the string vibration sound of the bow and arrow Crisp, the vibration of the bowstring of the crossbow is dull, but the sound of the arrow piercing through the air is the same.

Listening to the familiar voice in the air, the shieldmen in front of the rebel formation subconsciously grasped the shield in their hands, but to their surprise, there were only a few sporadic sounds of being hit on the wooden shield, and the arms did not feel it. There was a shock, and only a wailing sound came from behind.

When the shieldmen heard the sound and looked back, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. They were still in the same position just now. The comrades behind them were shot into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows from the sky. Only those knights in iron armor were spared. Terrified by this bloody scene, he tightly held the shield in his hand. Only it can give these shield bearers a sense of security.
