"Tap, tap, tap." Thousands of war horses were running on the edge of the Cassano Plain. The overlord of Cassano, Ryan, was also among them. Next to him was Roger, the commander of this popular shooter. For several days, Ryan led Roger and the others to search for traces of the Senat army. It stands to reason that the army that invaded Cassano from Seike City this time exceeded 30,000, but neither Ryan nor Allendo had any traces of it. Finding traces of the other party is indeed a bit worrying,
If it weren't for the news that everything was normal from Iron Fist Castle from time to time, Ryan even suspected that the opponent was taking a detour to attack his rear. Now that Ryan has searched all the places where Cassano can hide, the only way to continue is The search was only at the junction of the Cassano Plain and the Vallo Mountains. There were dense woods everywhere, and the towering trees almost blocked the view. If Senat was hiding in it, it would not be that easy to find.
Now Roger is leading a large group of popular archers to slowly patrol south along the edge of the Wallow Mountains. Thousands of war horses are taking small steps and moving forward slowly in the most energy-saving way. From a distance, it looks quite strange. Like a long snake, now that Adela has led the follow-up troops to press over, Ryan and Alando will naturally take charge of the central army, while Roger and the others will focus on the main force station and conduct detailed searches within a radius of 20 kilometers. Traces of Senat,
Roger remembered Ryan's order before he left, and then looked at the dense woods 300 meters away to his left. He couldn't help but shake his head secretly. If it were in the Talen Prairie, this area of more than 20 kilometers could be seen just by climbing up. It is clear that it is not as troublesome as it is now. This is already the edge of the Valo Mountains. There are too many dense woods. Although Roger brings 2,000 wind-traveling archers, he has to dismount and enter these woods little by little. Searching, I'm afraid that if he is given another ten days, he may not be able to complete the search in this area.
Just as he was thinking about how to complete the tasks assigned by Ryan with high quality and quantity, a guard next to Roger suddenly spoke boldly: "Head, brothers have been running for most of the day. I remember to turn left ahead. There is a small stream a few kilometers away. It is already noon. Do you think it is..."
There was an expression of displeasure on Roger's face immediately, but after looking at his subordinates behind him, Roger sighed softly. Although they patrolled in the most energy-saving way, after all, they still ran for a whole month. In the morning, if I say I’m not tired, I’d be lying. It’s better to take a rest first, so that even if I find something, I’ll still have enough energy to fight.
Thinking of this, Roger nodded, and several of the guards around him immediately conveyed this order on horseback. Those Fengxing shooters who were already feeling a little tired were all refreshed when they heard the news, but they still Remember your own discipline. No one makes a noise. Thousands of horses are galloping, and you can only hear the sound of horse hooves.
Ten minutes later, Roger felt that the field of vision in front of him suddenly broadened. The woods on the left that originally blocked his sight were suddenly thrown behind his head. Looking around, he looked around at the green grass, which was quite a bit running. The feeling of being on the Talen Prairie, but this sudden and cheerful mood disappeared immediately, because a team of more than a thousand people appeared in Roger's sight. Previously, because of the large forest blocking the view, neither side had seen it. I noticed the other party in advance, and the two parties suddenly met at this corner.
Roger only glanced at it and found a familiar face from the cavalry less than 200 meters away. When he followed Ryan to participate in the Battle of Mirror Lake, he tracked this person for seven days. Unfortunately, he finally faced him. After a large group of hungry wolves, he had no choice but to give up, but the appearance of this man was firmly remembered in Roger's mind, and he shouted almost subconsciously: "Enemy attack."
It was Kailimu who appeared opposite Roger. Of course, he would not forget that he was chased by Roger in an extremely embarrassing manner. If it weren't for the large group of hungry wolves, Kailimu might have turned into a broken-winged goshawk. , that is, at the same time that Roger issued the alarm, Kailimu also shouted loudly: "Enemy attack."
On one side is the White Frost Legion, the most elite force of the Clay tribe that has been famous in the mainland for hundreds of years, and on the other side is Cassano's emerging elite force, the Popular Archer Legion. The reaction of the soldiers on both sides was extremely fast, and everyone pulled away at almost the same time. He picked up his longbow and shot ruthless arrows at the enemy on the opposite side. This sudden encounter also kicked off the Battle of Vallo.
"Swish, swish, swish." Suddenly, arrows rained down like rain. There was only less than 200 meters between the White Frost Army and the Fengxing Archers, and the longbows in their hands had a range of more than 500 meters. At such a close distance, the two sides were still It is a marching column and cannot be too scattered. It can be said that as long as it is roughly aligned in the direction, it will almost never miss. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, the deadly rain of arrows rains down on the opponent's head almost in the blink of an eye. Go down,
"Ah." The screams immediately started one after another. The White Frost Legion of the Clay tribe has been famous in the mainland for hundreds of years. Their formation is looser than the wind-walking archers, and their archery skills are also more sophisticated, so There were also many more arrows hitting the opponent. Unfortunately, in this burst of random shooting, it was the White Frost Legion that suffered heavy casualties, because each of their opponents wore strong mithril mail.
With these solid defenses, as long as you are not particularly unlucky and are shot by an arrow in a part that is not covered by the mithril mail armor, it will only be painful for a while at most. This will not affect the Fengxing archers from continuing to shoot life-threatening arrows. Arrows, on the contrary, every time they shoot, there will be a certain attrition of the opponent, which also greatly reduces their own pressure. Therefore, after a full minute of chaos, Fengxing Archer actually severely damaged the opponent at the cost of losing less than a hundred people. of the Clay tribe,
Seeing his comrades fall one by one under the arrows fired from the opposite side, even if the arrows fired by his side directly hit the enemy on the opposite side, they could not penetrate the silver-white armor at all, Kailimu sighed in his heart. , knowing that what Chief Abdul said was true, and that his people were on the verge of being eliminated in this competition for survival, he made a prompt decision and loudly issued the order to retreat. Then he drew the bow string and took a look at the gaps in the armor of Fengxing Archer. , three consecutive arrows directly killed the three popular archers on the opposite side,
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Kailimu's magic to stagnate the morale of the Fengxing Archers, the survivors of the Clay Tribe's White Frost Legion immediately galloped back on their horses. At this time, they had lived on horseback since they were young. The effect was revealed. There was no collision or crowding among thousands of people. After withstanding three rounds of arrow rain from the Fengxing Archer, the Clay people actually ran hundreds of meters away. At this time, even if the Fengxing Archer continued Shooting, due to factors such as distance and horse speed, is difficult to cause a large number of casualties to the Clay people.
Roger watched calmly as Kailimu slowly retreated at the rear of the entire Clay tribe's retreat. He did not issue an order to pursue, because a very famous tactic of the Clay tribe's light cavalry was to run and shoot at the same time. He doesn't want to take risks by pretending to be defeated to attract the enemy to pursue him, then sneak attack with arrows, and then retreating to attract the enemy to pursue him.
Within a few minutes, the Fengxing shooters counted the results of this encounter. 127 Fengxing shooters were killed on the spot, 69 were seriously injured, and nearly 10% of the combat personnel were lost. On the opposite side, the Clay tribe's White Frost Army lost more than 700 people. , and more than 400 people were seriously injured and fell from their horses, which almost directly reduced the number by one-third.
After hearing this result, Roger and all the surviving Windwalking shooters were very grateful to Ryan. If it weren't for the lord's generous effort, how could they be equipped with mithril armor? Instead of such good armor, in that round of melee, It is estimated that the 2,000 people below Roger will be annihilated. Apart from anything else, Roger was shot three times in a row by the Kailimu just now, but was blocked by the strong mithril armor. Now Ryan has The place where he was shot was still aching, but his opponent who almost shot him three times ran away. This was all due to the armor specially made by Ryan.
"Whoosh." A ball of fire flew into the sky with a sharp sound. When it reached its highest point, an explosion suddenly occurred. The sound of the explosion and the billowing black smoke were enough to make people within 20 kilometers The friendly forces can see clearly, and I believe that the main follow-up troops will arrive soon.
After sending the signal, Roger left a team of 50 people and asked them to take care of the injured. Then he took the remaining wind warriors and followed Kailimu's retreat direction and slowly pursued him, fearing that he would step into the opponent's direction. Roger's pursuit speed was not very fast, and he also deliberately released several teams far away, so that even if something unexpected happened, he could still have enough time to react.
The weather today was very good, and the traces of thousands of people galloping on horseback were easy to identify, so Roger was not worried about losing track of the enemy. After riding for several kilometers, a sudden sight appeared from the side of the sky. There was a roar, and Roger looked around, but it was Cassano's unique magic signal, and from that subtlety, Roger knew that this signal was sent by Letoz,
"Quickly, speed up. Letoz and the others have blocked the direction of the Clay tribe's escape to the north. We are just in time to catch up with them and flank the enemy." Roger gave the order loudly, and the Fengxing shooters behind him even more There was a cheer, and everyone urged their horses. After a while, they followed the traces left by the Clay tribe to an extremely spacious area. The Clay tribe's light cavalry who had just escaped was not far ahead, and here. At that time, Letoz led his troops to appear in the north. Although the distance was still several kilometers away, a pincer attack from two sides had already formed.
Now to the north of Kailim is Letoz's tribe, to the south is Roger's tribe, and to the west is the direction where Cassano's main force is. The only direction he can escape is to the east of the Valo Mountains, but with Clay Once light cavalry like the Clay tribe enters the mountains and forests, they basically lose their threat. In terms of combat effectiveness in the mountains, these Clay tribesmen who have lived on horseback since childhood may not be stronger than the ordinary Cassano army. They are famous in the mainland. The Clay light cavalry, which has been around for hundreds of years, was actually forced into such a desperate situation.
