Summoning Total War

.Chapter 43 A violent storm!

A distance of one thousand meters.

Calculating this is just two and a half laps around the playground. People who are in better shape and exercise frequently can run easily without stress.

For humanoid creatures like lizardmen who lived in the primitive civilization era, it was nothing. It could even be said to be no burden at all. These creatures have slender and narrow bodies, and are very fast when running. If converted into the terms of previous DND games, they have +2 priority in movement and agility.

For the first five hundred meters, the lizard man didn't run very fast.

Obviously they also knew that this was beyond the maximum range of the semi-elf archers, but after the distance was shortened to 500 meters, the sound of the war drums from the rear turned from high to fast, and the lizard warriors rushing at the front also began to Accelerating, they held their shields flat in front of them, protecting the vital points of their upper bodies, and charged towards the semi-elf army.

Five hundred meters.

Four hundred meters.

three hundred meters

--charge

After entering the shooting range of the semi-elf archers, the high-speed running lizard warriors protected the vital points of their upper bodies with their shields and sprinted forward with all their strength, because they knew that this distance was when they were most in danger.

However, because they were holding shields, the lizard warriors rushing forward also blocked a certain amount of sight. They didn't notice that the land in front was slightly darker.

And just when the distance was shortened to 300 meters, the lizardman warrior rushing at the front suddenly dwarfed.

Then he fell heavily into the mud with a 'plop' sound.

What would happen if a person suddenly stepped into deep mud while running at high speed? There is no doubt that the inertial force when running at high speed will make him lose his balance. Without preparation, the force of leaning forward and the inertial force of high-speed running will make him pounce forward directly.

What does it mean to fall on the battlefield?

What does it mean to have nearly 20,000 charging warriors behind you?

As soon as the momentum of the lizard man's charge slowed down, there was a hint of chaos. Before contact with the enemy, some casualties appeared on our own side.

Ming Jin retreats?

it's out of the question

The generals of this vanguard army will probably be looked down upon by other generals for the rest of their lives before they have even fought with the enemy, and they retreated just because they suffered a little loss on the muddy road under the enemy's conspiracy.

I believe many people will be happy to make this incident a laughing stock throughout their lives.

Moreover

After discovering that there was a problem with the road, the lizardman general felt at ease. .com is updated quickly. Because the half-elves are fighting against themselves abnormally, they obviously have something to rely on, and these muddy roads are probably their ridiculous strategy. Although the muddy roads will slow down the advance of the army, for those living in the tropical rain forest, For the lizardmen inside, this is not a fatal problem. Although there may be a certain amount of casualties, after entering into close combat, these half-elves will become lambs to be slaughtered.

The lizardman general now even foresees his own victory.

………………

After discovering that the muddy road was only a little deep, the charging lizard man suddenly felt reassured.

They picked up the shield on the ground, held it in front of them, and then stepped forward at a relatively slow speed. As creatures accustomed to swamp areas, this muddy road had almost no effect other than slightly slowing down their progress. effect. And as long as they close the distance, those semi-elf archers will be the targets of their slaughter. Thinking of this, many lizardmen howled with excitement.

For Murphy, slightly slowing the enemy's advance was enough.

The distance is getting closer again.

300 meters

250 meters

——"shoot"

After entering the archer's effective shooting range, he shouted without hesitation.

"shè"

"shè"

Beside Murphy, dozens of guards also drank loudly at the same time. As the Chinese army's military orders were issued, officers from various teams also roared.

wordy

Sui Suo Suo

An overwhelming rain of arrows fell

The semi-elf archers gave full play to their shooting talents, and arrows poured out one after another at extremely fast speeds, covering the lizardman army rushing ahead like a violent storm. In an instant, the only sounds left on the entire battlefield were the tightening and vibration of the bow strings, and the screams caused by the sharp arrows being shot out, which seemed to be filled with some kind of magic power and shocked the mind.

Murphy's eyes were full of shock at this moment, because he had never seen such a dense rain of arrows before.

overwhelming

It wasn't until this moment that he truly understood the meaning of the word

The length of the front is about two kilometers. This flat land is very open, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people fighting. The front line used by the semi-elf archers is a four-row front line, which is a staggered formation. According to the distance of one meter between a person, one line line is two thousand archers, and a four-line front line is eight thousand archers at the same time. hit

Because the formation was wide, even though the war bow had a firing range of 300 steps, Murphy still waited until the lizard men reached a distance of 250 meters before ordering the firing.

Eight thousand archers fired simultaneously

Ten arrows were neatly strewn on the ground in front of them, and their mission was to shoot all these arrows forward as quickly as possible within fifty seconds without thinking about anything.

No need to aim

Because there are enemies everywhere in front of you

You just need to tighten your bow and shoot the sharp arrow of revenge at the enemy in front of you.

as fast as you can

If a violent storm hits them,

………………

The powerful bow and arrow talents of the half-elves were not fully utilized until this moment. Their innate bow and arrow talents allowed them to pour out a large number of arrows towards the front of the line at a speed far exceeding that of humans. Originally, the lizard people only needed to The distance that they could cover in a few dozen seconds took several times that time on the muddy road, which forced them to withstand the violent storm of arrows from the semi-elf archers head-on.

It was not until this moment that those lizard people suddenly realized that the semi-elf bows and arrows were so terrifying.

Fifty seconds.

Nearly a hundred thousand arrows poured out, the sky was overwhelming, the storm was violent, and almost everything in front of us was densely packed with arrows.

The shield in the hands of the lizard warrior who rushed at the front became extremely heavy almost instantly, and then his body also became extremely heavy, because under the dense arrows that were like pear needles in a rainstorm, not only were they The shield in their hands turned into a hedgehog, and they themselves instantly turned into a hedgehog. Row after row of lizard warriors fell, and the heavy infantry at the front suffered almost half of their casualties at once.

Facing such a terrible rain of arrows, the shields in their hands were already useless, and the muddy road under their feet seriously hindered their progress.

The lizardman heavy infantry in front felt a little scared and wanted to retreat, but the lizardman warriors advancing behind them had no idea because all this happened so fast, in just a few dozen seconds.

Once the army orders a charge, it is not so easy to take it back.

Especially this kind of battle involving tens of thousands of people

The front row and the back row were full of people. Unless the general ordered the entire army to retreat, the soldiers in the front row had almost no choice but to rush forward. Because there are people behind them, they have no way out at all.

Row after row of soldiers fell...

There was also a trace of shock on the face of the lizardman general. Apparently, he had never thought that as long as the half-elves were given a few dozen seconds more time, they would be able to exert such terrifying lethality, even those half-elves. The elf himself did not expect that the extra few dozen seconds would lead to such horrific results.

But they didn't expect how much effort Murphy spent trying to gain tens of seconds within the 250-meter bow and arrow range.

The coverage of one hundred thousand arrows

The lizardmen suffered huge casualties for this. The heavy infantry at the front was almost exhausted, and the land on the battlefield was also filled with dense arrows, which seemed to have an invisible pressure.

As a result of the heavy casualties, the lizardmen shortened the battlefield to fifty meters.

As long as they rush forward for a while, they can enter into close combat with the enemy. At that time, no matter how many archers there are, they are not their opponents, but a group of lambs trembling under the butcher's knife. Thinking of this, the lizardman general is ferocious. A cruel smile couldn't help but appear on his face. He beat the war drum himself, boosting the morale of the lizard warriors with the rapid sound of the war drum.

………………

However, at this moment, the enemies in front of the formation suddenly began to retreat. As the archers in front dispersed, groups of Greek hoplites armed with spears, shields, and heavy metal armor appeared. In the eyes of those lizard warriors.

The spears are like a forest, and the cold light is shining

The Greek heavy infantry stepped forward, and the sound of neat footsteps covered up the howling of the lizard men. Before the battle began, a heavy pressure enveloped their hearts. They looked at the weapons in their hands and the simple leather armor on their bodies, and then looked at the enemy's uniform equipment, spears, bucklers, helmets, heavy armor, and the heavy mountain-like momentum, which made the enemy tremble with every step. Strict discipline that feels extremely oppressive

A way out?

no retreat

If they want to leave the muddy ground under their feet, they must once again face the storm-like attack of the archers. Amidst the sound of war drums that seemed a bit tragic at the moment, the lizard warriors who had rushed to the front of the Greek spear phalanx howled in encouragement. With morale high, he bravely charged towards the phalanx of spears flashing in front of him.

The brutal bloody battle began.
