When using a longbow to project, the hit rate of a single feather arrow is basically not taken into consideration. The greatest lethality of a longbow projectile is the arrow that drops rapidly from the sky. Countless such arrows are enough to block the sun and temporarily block the sun. formed a dark rain of arrows on the battlefield,
In order to launch fire arrows, the Clay tribe's archers lit up flames in front of them, and this light was the best beacon in the dark night. Under Colin's command, the overwhelming rain of arrows roared to a halt, and they harvested to their heart's content. The life of a Clay shooter. This kind of long arrow can even penetrate ordinary mail armor, let alone those Clay warriors who do not even have complete leather armor protection. However, in just a few volleys, 3000 The Clay archer who fired fire arrows was all killed and injured, and Colin pointed his target at the Clay riders ambushing on both sides.
These Clay warriors were originally soldiers from the expeditionary force who were lying in ambush and preparing to sneak out of the camp to fight. Unfortunately, under the detection of Androkos' "Magic Eye", their approximate location was also clearly displayed. Colin naturally He will not let them go. Although these warriors are a little far away from the expeditionary camp, they have not exceeded the maximum range of the longbow archers.
After 20 rounds of shooting, Colin's longbowmen finished shooting a quiver of arrows. Under the command of the captain, they quickly retreated as a team and began to replace the quivers behind their backs, preparing to continue fighting. However, Andro came from The news of Kos soon spread throughout the camp, and the Clay army that attacked at night retreated.
After losing more than 10,000 men, the commander of the Clay tribe, Saimir, gave the order to retreat in a frustrated tone. He brought 25,000 soldiers tonight, but he lost nearly half of them here. The military strength, and the result he caused was only to burn down a small part of the camp of the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force,
In Saimir's view, the expeditionary force had remained silent before, probably because they were secretly mobilizing troops for defense. Maybe he would have achieved the desired results by launching a full-scale attack without hesitation from the beginning, but in any case, there was no " If you lose these two words, you lose. Samir can only choose to retreat.
Tonight's battle with the Imperial City Expeditionary Force made Saimir very worried. This was not only because he lost, but also because he was worried about the quality of the expeditionary force. It would not be chaotic in the face of a night attack, and even the soldiers of the brigade were When mobilizing defenses in the camp, he did not let the scouts he sent to detect them. Such warriors may be worthy of the most elite troops of the Clay tribe, but even Kailimu's White Frost Army only has 10,000 soldiers. They are just human beings. What the Clay tribe has to face now is about 60,000 to 80,000 such warriors.
Although Saimir's night attack ended in a disastrous defeat, he also obtained a lot of important information. In addition to the elite soldiers of the expeditionary force, this time the expeditionary force in the imperial capital was well prepared, and their baggage camp was full of supplies. At least 20,000 war horses were brought with them. The grasslands in summer are full of green grass, which can fully provide food for these war horses.
In this way, as long as the expeditionary force of the imperial capital advances along the water source, it will not worry about supply problems at all. The tactic of fortifying the wall and clearing the field that Saimir formulated before may not have much effect. On the contrary, it will greatly deplete its own strength, perhaps for The current plan is to meet with Chief Abdul immediately, gather all the Clay tribe's troops, and engage in a decisive battle with the imperial capital expeditionary force. Otherwise, when this huge army goes all the way west, all the Clay tribe's pastures along the way will be destroyed. will be destroyed, and such losses will be difficult to make up for.
After the Clay tribe's night-attack army retreated, Ryan and Orlando also walked down from the observation deck side by side. In tonight's battle, the expeditionary force pushed the word "tolerance" to the limit. It was this that lured Clay. The tribal army was approaching step by step, but was annihilated by the expeditionary army with bows and arrows. What the expeditionary army had to pay was only a few tents and other materials burned down, and they had lost hundreds of people. This was definitely a brilliant victory.
Ryan has participated in wars more than once, and there have been many battles where the number of people on both sides exceeded 100,000. However, this was the first time that he silently watched everything that happened on the battlefield as a bystander, which also gave him a lot. Enlightenment: If you want to win in a battle, the easiest way is to make the enemy make mistakes. If the expeditionary force had not given in step by step, how could the commander of the Clay tribe slowly fall into the trap, although this was just a very simple tactics, but achieved quite ideal results.
Of course, the most important thing that can produce such results is the combat effectiveness of Jonas Legion. In recent years, under the training of Colin and Thomas, the combat effectiveness of these shooters has surpassed those of the shooters in Thor Fortress. They can Drawing the longbow 20 times at a very fast speed will form a shower of arrows, making it impossible for the enemies in the shot area to escape. Moreover, these archers will still have enough energy to continue fighting after replacing their quivers. Even if the Clay tribe launches an all-out attack at all costs, Jonas Legion can handle it with ease.
"Strong enough, with flexible and skillful use, it can hit the enemy's vital points." While walking back side by side with Orlando, Ryan kept thinking about what his teacher Ghalib once said, tonight's This battle seemed to explain this sentence to Ryan very well, and he gained a lot.
After returning to his tent, Ryan was not sleepy at all. Instead, he sat on the felt and slowly recalled every scene he saw tonight, silently thinking about what he would do if he were in his place. How can we more skillfully attract the enemy into the game, how should we deal with it if we accidentally enter the enemy's trap, how can we maximize our combat effectiveness, and how can we attack the enemy more effectively...
At dawn, Ryan walked out of his tent with confidence. After a night of thinking, Ryan felt that he had learned a lot. In the past, Ryan always took the lead in battles. This was true, but it also made Ryan's vision Only limited to the battle in front of him, last night's encounter allowed Ryan to jump out of the battle situation and fully see the reactions of both the enemy and ourselves. This was like stepping into a new world for Ryan.
As usual, Ryan came to Orlando's military tent to enjoy his breakfast and briefly communicate with Orlando. When Orlando saw Ryan's confident look, he nodded secretly in his heart. Apparently, he invited Ryan to go last night. The act of watching the game gave Ryan enough inspiration.
"How's the battle going?" Ryan asked with a relaxed expression as he took his breakfast.
Orlando replied while eating his breakfast: "Roughly estimated, more than 10,000 enemies were killed last night. Jonas is still arranging people to clean the battlefield. It is summer, and the corpses must be buried deep, otherwise the disease will easily spread. "
Ryan nodded. He was not surprised by this outcome. In fact, in his thinking last night, Ryan had already thought of sending out the Royal Knights to take the enemy's retreat. Coupled with his magic, Ryan was confident that the enemy would be able to retreat. All the enemies he committed would be annihilated, but in that case, his own strength would be fully exposed, which would be detrimental to future wars.
