Chapter 112: Unstoppable
Each magic-breaking arrow, in the hands of specially trained longbow soldiers, can almost accurately shoot down a magician. The 200 sniper archers with super strong arm strength and fighting spirit are now almost harvesting the noble lives of the magicians of the Kingdom of Yan.
Just a few rounds of attacks scared the magician troops out of their wits. No matter how many magicians there were in the Kingdom of Yan, or how worthless they were, their lives were the most precious to them. Due to their magical superiority, they could kill others with magic, but they would never allow troops inferior to them to threaten or harm them. So, after seeing a large number of their companions being killed without any resistance, they immediately became chaotic and fled out of the battlefield at their fastest speed. . . . . .
"Yaruo, lead the sniper archers to continue attacking the magician troops and drive them out of their attack range on us. Matthew, lead the main force to switch to repeating crossbows immediately, and kill those light infantrymen hard. You must disperse them before the enemy's heavy infantry and heavy cavalry arrive..." Looking at the gradually dispersing magician troops, I immediately issued another order.
But what surprised me was that the enemy's light infantry actually split into two groups and evacuated to both sides before we arrived. Just as I was puzzled, the enemy's battle formation changed, from the original light infantry to light infantry on both sides, and the heavy cavalry began to replace the light infantry, implicitly aiming at us.
"The first and tenth battalions, follow and chase those infantrymen, but be careful to keep your distance and avoid direct confrontation. The rest of the soldiers, all switch to longbows and use armor-piercing arrows. Let's send these Dongda Road losers off..."
As the enemy's formation changed, I also made corresponding judgments. Although the crossbow can penetrate the armor of heavy cavalry at close range, because the enemy is cavalry, it is possible that after we have only scattered two rounds, the enemy has already appeared in front of us.
Therefore, I must let the enemy's heavy cavalry experience our strength from a farther distance and force them to avoid fighting me head-on. . . . .
"The first round of attacks targets the enemy's front-row horses, and the second round begins with free attacks..."
As my order was issued, thousands of long arrows immediately penetrated the enemy formation. Although these heavy cavalry were much more careful than the heavy infantry I was dealing with in the garrison camp, each of them carefully raised their shields and hid their bodies behind the thick cavalry shields. However, they were unable to protect their horses from being attacked by our strong bows and arrows.
The thin horse mail might be able to block the scattering of ordinary bows and arrows at low distances, but it is completely unable to withstand my specially made, hardened and polished sharp arrows.
As the horses in the front row were suddenly shot dead by crossbow arrows, the knights on their backs also fell off their horses at the same moment their horses fell. … … … As they fell to the ground, their comrades who were close to them behind them inevitably rode their horses and stepped on them. … … …
After a period of panic, they managed to stabilize the situation, but this also slowed down their charge and attracted a fiercer rain of arrows. Because the previous attack had disrupted their formation and their attention to our next attack, their losses began to increase again in the next few rounds of our attack.
"No need to slow down, just charge over... When you are 50 meters away from them, everyone switch to crossbows. I don't believe that after being continuously attacked by our longbows, they still have the ability to deal with the four crossbows shot by each of us." I stopped Matthew who was trying to slow down the troops to ensure more rounds of longbow shooting, and gave the order again.
The distance between the two sides is still more than 200 meters, which is enough for my troops to fire 3-4 more rounds. Based on the effect of the previous attack, I am sure that when I approach them, the enemy's heavy cavalry division will only have about 2,000 people left, right? And as the distance gets closer, the attack power that the longbow can exert will become stronger and stronger.
The sound of bowstrings being drawn and arrows flying out in succession made me feel extremely relieved. Although my appearance in this world was a bit tragic, I have hardly suffered many setbacks since then. Now, I have not only found a place to stay, but also gained considerable power. This is undoubtedly a world of difference from when I first came here, when I only wanted to save my life.
I am not worried at all about my current situation. If I cannot get through this crisis, then there is no point for me to continue living in this world. . . . .
"Attack... Shoot continuously, everyone fire as fast as possible!" I don't want to kill the enemy, I just want to confuse them. As long as I can make them fall into confusion, I can lead them by the nose.
The continuous shooting caused the enemy to suffer heavy losses and further chaos. But this chaos was still far from what I had hoped for. It seemed that I had to add fuel to the fire. . . . .
"Team 1-5 directly under the General Staff, immediately move to the front line, first launch fog, then chain lightning..." At the critical moment, I naturally used a powerful means of attack - the magic scroll.
As my order was issued, more than 50 soldiers each waved out two magic scrolls, flashed out from the gaps left by the army in front, and rushed towards the enemy formation at a high speed. . . . . . These soldiers were specially selected by me after testing the magic power of the soldiers in my own army. If their own strength is not even half of that of an ordinary trainee magician, then after they are equipped with a large number of magic scrolls, I am confident that they can defeat a mid-level magician. After all, when magicians use magic, they need to accumulate magic spells and magic power, while they only need to simply inject a small amount of magic power into the magic scroll.
When they were less than 200 meters away from the enemy formation, each of them used a low-level magic shield to protect themselves from arrows, and then waved their hands to release a large-scale water magic - mist - to the heavy cavalry in front. . . . .
