After all, the coalition forces of the island countries were regular troops. When the number of casualties was close to 2,000, Shanzhi organized three groups of soldiers, all holding shields, and rushed towards the Caucasian soldiers. wWw, QuANbEn-XiAoShUo, COm, they also know that they can't catch up with those guys riding magic wolves with their legs, but they just need to drive these people out of the range.
Junior officers organized their own troops and moved closer to senior officers. Although the casualties are not high, after all, there are still more than 10,000 people on our side. As long as they can wash ashore, the situation will be reversed.
When the Caucasus warriors saw six hundred soldiers approaching with wooden shields, they continued to shoot iron arrows with a relaxed expression. The archery skills of these Caucasians are astonishing. At a distance of 800 meters, the success rate of the projectile reaches more than 30%. Moreover, every ten iron arrows can kill at least one person. In addition, if the injured enemy does not receive treatment, he will soon bleed to death.
The good archery skills of these Caucasian people are completely forced by the environment. The Caucasus region produces little iron, so once every Caucasian learns archery, he will be particularly careful and calculating. Now Salin prepared their favorite iron arrows for them and told them that they could use them at will in battle. These Caucasians suddenly felt no burden.
Master Salin is really rich. These iron arrows can be regarded as rudimentary alchemy arrows. Just shooting them out like throwing stones made the Caucasian people feel a little distressed.
The shield-holding infantrymen all had tall wooden shields in their hands, which could effectively prevent iron arrows from shooting, but these Caucasians ignored them at all. In order to maintain their formation, the infantry did not advance very fast. The distance of 800 meters was still enough for them to walk for a while. The four Warcraft swordsmen had not taken action. Only then did they take off the alchemy crossbow hanging on the back of the skeleton horse, install the magic core, aim at the infantry walking in front, and shoot an arrow at it.
The four Warcraft Swordsmen used genuine heavy crossbows. These were usually installed on stands or simply placed in fortresses to defend against enemy cavalry charges. The infantrymen walking inside had wooden shields in their hands, which were immediately shot to pieces by the alchemical crossbow. Three of the soldiers behind him also died. The guy who was lucky enough to survive was actually even more unlucky, as his right arm was shot through by the alchemical crossbow. The entire shoulder bone was shattered.
In this environment, no one could care about him. Instead, he had to die in a more painful way, that is, to wait for death.
We can't blame the coalition forces of the East China Sea island countries. It's not that they can't afford iron shields, it's just that they come from a long distance and try to put as many soldiers on board as possible and not carry too much heavy equipment. Originally, there were a large number of magicians accompanying these armies. Although there are not many high-level ones, they still carry a large number of magic chariots. Under the protection of the magic chariot, the infantry's defense against arrows will be strengthened. Once the enemy shoots an arrow, the mages on the magic chariot will work together to use the wind technique to blow away the arrows.
The four Warcraft swordsmen laughed when they saw that their alchemy crossbows were effective, but they all put them away. It wasn't until these shield-wielding infantrymen approached a hundred meters away that they said to the Caucasian warriors behind them: "Back off."
Upon hearing this, the Caucasus warriors put away their long bows, turned their mounts, and slowly retreated. The infantrymen were relieved when they saw the enemy's Demonic Wolf Cavalry retreating. They all stopped and set up their wooden shields in front, with no intention of pursuing them. Because they can't catch up. The infantry of these three brigades prepared bows and arrows on both wings. Their bows and arrows had a very short range and no armor-breaking ability. There was no way, the good bows and arrows were sealed in the box and sank with the ship.
Those high-quality bows and arrows are also afraid of being corroded by the humid air at sea. They will not be used by soldiers. Soldiers still use soft bows that are common at sea, with low range and low cost. It was hard to get this soft bow together." In the panic, it was already very difficult for them to get so many soft bows together.
The Wolf Cavalry retreated more than two hundred meters. Suddenly it stopped again.
"Brothers, let's change the guys. The Caucasians gave the order. Four Warcraft Swordsmen held the line among them. They were not commanders. Salin didn't want the Caucasians to feel uncomfortable. The role of the four of them is to prevent the enemy from being hit. It would be helpful for a Saint-level guy to cause unnecessary casualties to the Caucasians.
All the Caucasians mobilized the magic wolves and rushed towards the shield formation formed by the soldiers. At this time, the soldiers of the East China Sea Alliance had already set up their spears behind their wooden shields. Seeing the opponent rushing towards them, the officer commanding these infantrymen was overjoyed.
The cavalry is certainly more powerful than the infantry. But it also depends on tactics. If the cavalry is allowed to attack the well-formed infantry, the cavalry will also pay a heavy price. Especially when the infantry has spears that exceed four meters, if the cavalry rushes forward rashly, even if they are heavily injured, they will be injured.
The Caucasian man shouted, and the speed of the demon wolf increased to the extreme at a distance of a hundred meters, and then they made the same move. He took off the small ax hanging on the side of the demon wolf and threw it
.
Every adult Caucasian has an axe, and their throwing axes are the favorites of mercenary groups because they have powerful attack power and are cheaper to use than magicians. With the power of the demon wolf running wildly, these flying axes made a terrifying whistling sound. The wooden shield on the front was broken open, screams could not be heard, and all the pikemen in the front row were killed immediately. After the second round of throwing axes, these Sichuan soldiers collapsed and did not care about their companions. Leaving behind more than two hundred corpses, they headed toward the sea.
The officer was lucky enough not to be hit by the flying axe. He looked at this scene dumbfounded. Although the wooden shield was not as strong as the iron shield, a small ax could break such a large shield into pieces. And it can also split the heads of the soldiers behind the shield. Where did these people come from? How could it be so powerful
You know, after the wooden shield is wrapped in animal skin, although it is afraid of the alchemy crossbow, it is not effective against heavy weapons. You can still resist it. Those throwing axes were not considered heavy weapons. They only weighed a few kilograms and were about the same as an ordinary sword. But just two rounds of throwing these small axes caused his soldiers to collapse.
It has to be said that Saleen was lucky. These coalition forces carried a lot of heavy equipment on the ship, which was enough to organize a real heavy infantry. But because the alchemy ship's attack was so fast, these things haven't been opened yet. Then he sank into the sea with the battleship.
Sinking with the battleship was a magic chariot. Heavy crossbows, various combat puppets, and large flying puppets. Everything can solve the trouble just now, but they don't have time to save those equipment.
It would have been nice if the black-robed mage was here, but the black-robed mage was seduced away by the three kings. Also flying away at the same time were the four sixth-level great magicians in the mage group.
Not counting the black-robed mage, there are forty people in the mage group. Four sixth-level mages and eight fifth-level mages. Twelve fourth-level mages, and sixteen third-level mages.
For a team of only 20,000 people. This is enough for the mage group, and some other magicians below level three are used to drive magic chariots. It can be achieved that each brigade has the assistance of a magician.
These coalition forces should have gone ashore long ago, but the weather on the ice was so bad that they had to endure it in the cabin until the magic chariot was modified. If the alchemy ship doesn't attack. They have at most one day to assemble all the magic chariots.
The magic chariot is not a strange thing. It is like a mobile magic tower, which can provide a stable elemental environment for the magician and improve the magic power of the magician. The magic chariot itself also carries different numbers of magic arrays. When several magic chariots are assembled, large-scale magic can be organized.
The Qin Empire has many magic chariots, but these are difficult to assemble and difficult to use in field battles. After assembly, the magic chariot is subject to high wear and tear, and the consumption is huge. Therefore, magic chariots generally only appear on the battlefield of decisive battles or in siege battles.
In a sense, the magic chariot's function is similar to that of a mobile arrow tower. However, the transportation of both is so troublesome, and the price is very different.
In order to maintain the performance of the magic chariots, these chariots are also sealed in special boxes and will not be assembled until they reach their destination. Otherwise, the cost of daily maintenance will give officers a headache.
The retreating coalition soldiers saw a scene that made them tremble. Those guys riding magic wolves walked to the position just now and calmly picked up the thrown axes. Their mounts simply bit the throat of the soldier who was still breathing.
At this time, there were still a dozen great magicians in the coalition forces, and their number of great magicians was originally twenty. "Four" left behind the black-robed mage, and there were two unlucky fourth-level mages who did not escape from the bottom cabin. Their cabin was directly hit, and a large amount of seawater poured in instantly.
The Caucasian man picked up the ax he had thrown, wiped off the blood, and hung it again on the demon wolf's side. After all, these short-handled axes weighed several kilograms, so it was impossible to carry too many. During this gathering, Salin only allowed each person to carry two.
Putting away the axe, the Caucasian took off his longbow again. He shot the remaining iron arrows in his quiver again.
The tactics Salin arranged were to their liking. No wonder the priest respected this magician so much. Just a simple tactic caused heavy losses to the enemy on the opposite side.
If they fight head-on, the Caucasians are confident that they can kill more than 2,000 enemies, but it is impossible for them to suffer no casualties. On the battlefield, unless you are a high-level sword master, even the weakest enemy may kill you. And even if he is a sword master, it is impossible for Ye to remain unscathed in a large-scale battle. When there are enemies all around, the effectiveness of swordsmanship is limited. When tens of thousands of people are strangled together, in addition to the skills they usually practice hard. Soldiers also need a little luck.
The four hundred Caucasians shot two quivers empty, then rode the magic wolf and patrolled provocatively in the distance for several times before turning around and retreating. at this time. The surviving soldiers on the battleship have been organized. The officers also came to the general and waited for his orders.
Seeing more than a thousand corpses and even more wounded, the general felt like crying. He didn't expect that his expedition would be like this. All the battleships in his name were sunk. There were two captured warships left on the sea, but the driving methods of those two warships were different from their own ships. It was impossible to escape with these two ships.
