The envoys were escorted by three thousand troops. In order to reassure Balder, Salin sent the sixth battalion to follow. wWW!QuanBeN-XiaoShuo!COm finally had a reason to let his army enter and exit Qinyin, and Salin would certainly not let this opportunity pass by. But Salin didn't expect that his Sixth Battalion would actually come in handy.
Large-scale army mobilization cannot be hidden from the eyes of magicians. The troops dispatched from Side Star City were divided into two groups, the first group consisted of more than 100,000 people. This force of 10,000 people attacked the envoys from the flank and spread out widely on the plain. It's just that there are magicians in the envoy group, and ten miles away, the army of the envoy group has begun to be on guard.
The magic equipment of Phoenix's cavalry was not good. After the Black Mage Rebellion, some powerful mages were disappointed with the nobles of Phoenix and simply left Phoenix and went to Qin Yin. Then Qin Yin invaded and another group of magicians escaped. Now Phoenix's army is completely resting on its laurels.
Magic cavalry actually adds special magic when charging, and the equipment itself does not have its own skills. Lacking a great magician, the cavalry was blessed with low-level magic knowledge and low-level wind speed. Although this low-level magic lasts for a long time, it also requires high physical strength on the horses and soldiers, so the cavalry must not speed up until they are within ten miles.
The envoy group was not moving very fast, there were many vehicles, and the main road in Fenikejin was not repaired in time. Some road sections were narrow, and the team was stretched very long. Therefore, even if they are prepared, the envoy group cannot immediately put up a favorable formation to counterattack.
The Sixth Battalion carried hundreds of carts. In just two minutes, these carts formed two lines of defense. The infantry dismounted, took out their heavy crossbows, hid behind the carts, and posed in a weak position. defensive formation.
Among the 3,000 troops of the Envoy Corps, 1,600 are pure Royal Swordsman Battalion troops, obeying only two magicians. These 1,600 people are real cavalry, and the armor on their bodies is worth thousands of gold. After Tiffany issued the alarm, the 1,600 people quickly left the road and formed a triangular formation.
Among the 1,400 people protecting Balder, there were 400 infantrymen. These four hundred infantrymen dismounted their horses and hid behind the cart. However, they took out their heavy shields on the cart and stood on both sides to avoid being bypassed by the enemy's cavalry and attacked with bows and arrows.
Two flag regiments of the Sixth Battalion are cavalry. It is not easy for Salin to gather thousands of horses. These two thousand cavalry are Salin's most elite mobile troops. Their reaction was “all took out the metal masks, put them on their faces, then bent down and installed small riding crossbows in front of the stirrups.
The range of the cavalry crossbow is not close, and the accuracy is very poor. It is usually within ten meters and can only be aimed based on the experience of the cavalry. But this thing fires three shots in a row and requires no hands to operate. After the cavalrymen of the Sixth Battalion installed their crossbows, they took out three steel pipes from behind and twisted them together to form a cross gun.
The cavalry of the Sixth Battalion retreated more than two hundred meters. This was the ancient time they were well equipped and could reach their maximum speed within two hundred meters.
More than 100,000 people quickly changed their formations, with no intention of defending. The cavalry was ready to go, and there was no rush to start. The only person who was a little panicked was Viscount Piyak, the permanent envoy appointed by Salin to stay in Holy Rock City.
Of course, the Viscount didn't think that going to Shengyan City was a good job, but he didn't expect that he would be in trouble of beheading before he entered Qin Yin. "How good is this? How good is this!" Viscount Pijak muttered to himself, but a senior swordsman beside him grabbed the reins and placed him behind the second row of the cart. Pijak stood straight on his horse, and if you didn't look at his somewhat absent-minded eyes, his posture was pretty good.
"Viscount, if you can't do it, just run away." The senior swordsman beside him said sarcastically. This senior swordsman was a new recruit to Salin and entered the sixth battalion after being reviewed by a magician. Seeing Piyak's appearance, he was very disdainful. "Fart!" Viscount Pijak burst out suddenly. He took out his long sword, waved it vigorously, and said, "Who do you think I am? If I escape, the whole world will laugh at me!" "Huh? Sir Viscount , you are quite brave, then please go to the back and let the soldiers put you into a suitable armor."
The Zhai-level swordsman stopped sarcastic and waved his hand, letting his soldiers drag the viscount away. He returned to his position and commanded a regiment of infantry.
What kind of hero is Piak? His son is in Salin's hands, and his future is also in Salin's hands. If he escaped, even if Salin would not kill him, his status would plummet in the future. He would no longer be a nobleman and his property would be confiscated. Rather than that, it would be better to die. Piyak was very excited. After being caressed away by the soldiers, Chi calmed down.
Survival is the first priority. Salin has asked 100,000 people to protect the envoys. Mars City is not far ahead, so he should be safe. And he is not an incompetent person. At least he has not lost his riding skills. After putting on armor and holding weapons, he is no weaker than ordinary soldiers. By the way, I can also shoot arrows, and my accuracy within fifty meters is pretty good. The Phoenix Cavalry slowly increased its speed five hundred meters away, showing superb riding skills. The commander of the cavalry discovered that the target was arranged in a car formation, and immediately ordered the cavalry to divide into two arrows and attack on both sides.
How could Salin's army allow the enemy to attack calmly? The alchemy crossbow mounted on the cart began to fire when the enemy was close to 500 meters away.
The most powerful alchemical crossbow can easily shoot a mile away, and is even accurate. The alchemy crossbow installed on the cart is much smaller, and there is no magician to control it. It just emphasizes the word ruthlessness.
A crossbow arrow more than one meter long, with a arrow-shaped metal thorn on the arrow, flew out whistling. Although there is a gap of several meters between the cavalry's charges, the range of this alchemical crossbow is far more than 500 meters, and even a blind cat can hit a dead mouse. Hundreds of crossbows violently penetrated the war horses, cavalry, war horses and cavalry...
The penetrating power is astonishing. Every target hit has a large amount of flesh, flesh, and even bone fragments taken away by the arrow-shaped metal spikes. This round of attacks caused heavy losses to the two thousand cavalrymen who tried to attack.
These more than 300 alchemy crossbows caused 400 casualties, and both men and horses were destroyed. The first round of cavalry charge only had a total of 2,000 men, which directly reduced the number by 20%, which shook the morale of Fenike Jin's cavalry. But there are tens of thousands of troops behind them, and it is impossible for the vanguard cavalry to retreat at this time.
The cavalry rushing in front avoided the sharp edge of the alchemical crossbow and went around to both sides. In fact, without a magician, the alchemical crossbow could only be fired once. But if you charge forward, you will be within the range of the heavy crossbow. The lethality of the heavy crossbow is not as terrible as the alchemical crossbow, but it is enough to penetrate the heavy armor of the cavalry.
What the heavy armored cavalry can withstand is the long bow, and the thrown arrows cannot withstand the heavy crossbow with a range of 200 meters. The forward cavalry was divided into two wings. On the side of the car formation, what was seen was a two-meter-high shield. However, the pedal crossbows prepared by the cavalry had to be fired. A fierce sound of breaking through the air was heard, and multiple crossbow arrows were shot at the infantry of the 6th Battalion.
The sixth battalion's infantry shield is covered with metal on the outside, and the inner layer is made of thousand-year-old wood, and the one side of the soldier is made of animal skin. The cavalry's crossbow hit it, and the pure metal arrow broke through the first layer of metal, but was blocked by the wood inside.
The shield's two layers of different materials formed a strange physical structure, and the powerful penetrating power of the crossbow arrows was blocked.
Although it was not a magic shield, it was designed by a magician. The infantrymen of the 6th Battalion, who were originally somewhat frightened, suddenly became much calmer.
The Phoenix cavalry were a little scared. Their crossbows fired at a distance of less than a hundred meters, but they did not penetrate the enemy's shield!
The standard foot-operated iron crossbow equipped by Qin Yin must be able to break armor at a distance of 100 meters. Because on the battlefield, there is only one shot. These foot-operated crossbows are also the most elite equipment of the Phoenix cavalry.
The infantry of the 6th Battalion did not have very good equipment on the flanks. The rear row held small shields and only opened hand-fired hard crossbows. If this kind of hard crossbow wants to break through the heavy armor of the Phoenix cavalry, it has to be at least within fifty meters. The alchemy crossbow installed on the cart cannot be lifted by the soldiers with both hands, let alone used to aim and shoot.
The cart that Salin assigned to the Sixth Battalion was specially used for fighting. The enemy's charge was blocked from the front, and the retreating cavalry finally began to attack.
Two thousand cavalry suddenly accelerated from a standstill. The twenty cavalry in the first row were all double heavy armor, skeleton war horses, and the weapons in their hands were disposable lances. This was designed by Saleen to imitate Yunliu's Warcraft Swordsman. The lance would be discarded after one impact. The powerful impact of the skeleton war horse cannot be supported by soldiers. The ends of the weapons are connected to the skeleton war horse with iron rings. The cavalry from both sides collided violently, making a rumble like a trebuchet.
In the first row of the Metatlin cavalry, twenty lances collapsed to pieces, but they also directly tore a hole in the Phoenix team. The strength of the skeleton war horses was several times stronger than ordinary horses. The lance shattered, and the Metatlin cavalry calmly drew out the heavy scimitar and slashed it out horizontally. The enemy passing by was cut into two pieces under the scimitar.
The second group of Phoenix's cavalry attack arrived at this time. On the cart in front, the alchemy crossbow was being unloaded and replaced with a large heavy crossbow. The soldiers of the Sixth Battalion also experienced the Metatlin Defense War, and the Holy See Taxi Ar. Hands on. They were nervous at first because they were unfamiliar with Phoenix's soldiers.
As a result, in the first round of counterattack, Phoenix's soldiers were not as brave as the Holy See soldiers. The injured Phoenix will not continue to get up and charge. The sharp contrast greatly boosted the confidence of the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion.
It's not that they weren't elite enough, it was just that when they were first formed, the enemy they encountered was the Holy See Expeditionary Force. Those fanatical believers had no resemblance to normal people in their fighting methods. Although Metatlin won in the end, the soldiers still had some shadows in their hearts towards the believers of the Holy See.
The Phoenix people are obviously much weaker. F! ~!
