With more than a hundred soldiers, we rushed towards the Fire Phoenix Army moving rapidly at the foot of the mountain. Judging from the flag, they should be composed of three divisions. One archer cavalry using powerful crossbows; one light archer cavalry using crossbows, plus a light cavalry division supporting them from all sides.
While observing them, I was also evaluating the combat power comparison between the two sides if I clashed with them. If we only talk about long-range combat and my division is not surrounded by them, I can say that no matter how many of them come, they will die.
But if it is an unexpected encounter, and the distance is relatively close, then we may fail. This is not to say that my troops are not good, because the enemy has three times as many people as me, and my soldiers are all new recruits, a group of rookies who have never been on the battlefield. If the enemy breaks through, I don’t know how those rookies will react. After all, I am not a soldier, so for the time being I can only use harsh military law to brainwash them. . . . . .
"One squadron of skirmishers, advance along the hillside; Auf leads the guards to drive away the prey." At my command, Auf immediately led dozens of guards to run towards the ridge, and the 100 archers in the squadron immediately dispersed and quickly formed a strange and well-organized formation. From a distance, the 100 archers seemed like a mess of miscellaneous soldiers.
"Squadrons 7-8 bring longbows for support, squads 9-10 bring the prey for dinner, and the rest shoot with crossbows. No one should save an arrow for me..." In addition to showing off, I don't want others to know the real training situation of my army and the biggest secret, the strength of the longbow. But I think the intensive attack of my troops is definitely enough to shock them. Of course, I also have another idea, which is to make other light troops give up the plan of close combat with my troops. Today, or I am ready to show others how much of a hedgehog I am...
As I shouted, we saw a large number of animals of all sizes coming towards us, from rabbits to cheetahs, bears and even a few magical beasts.
"Fire in squads, don't let go of any prey..." I quickly gave orders as I watched various animals running out of the forest. But I began to retreat backwards, because I didn't want those animals to touch me.
"12 o'clock, White Bear...shoot..."
"At 10 o'clock, elk...shoot..."
"..."
It was a complete massacre. The powerful crossbow could load 4 crossbow arrows at a time, and the gears could wind 4 crossbow strings at a time, and then it could fire single or 4 crossbow arrows at the same time. In front of such a weapon, ordinary beasts had no chance of survival. In just 10 minutes, hundreds of beasts were killed quickly. Even a rock beast was shot through the head by a longbowman at a distance of 50 meters, and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Add some extra dishes to the evening meal, and take all these back." I plucked a few tail feathers from the butt of an unlucky bird with beautiful feathers, and rushed to my army first. Behind me, Of and his men immediately followed me back.
When I passed the Fire Phoenix Army, I began to look towards their center. It was easy for me to immediately see the large shield that impressed me the most, the tower shield with a roasted chicken carved on it. When I looked up and saw its owner, my mood immediately turned sour.
Damn, it was actually a woman, a tall beauty with an extremely hot body, but her face was just too cold. Did she hit me with a shield? Did she push the shield flatly 10 meters away and stop a running horse? How is this possible? And I could feel the terrifying sound of bones breaking when the tower shield hit the horse's head. It was hard for me to believe that all this was caused by a woman...
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel regretful. How could I be so unlucky? If it was really her, then why did I come here this time? Add to that what happened this morning... I fainted!
If the other party is a man, then my appearance this time is undoubtedly me showing off. But if it is her, then wouldn't I be like a male peacock spreading its tail? Thinking of this, my face immediately sank, and I hurried back to my own troops with Aofu and the others.
But what I didn't notice was that the actions of me and these troops just now had all been seen by the Fire Phoenix Corps' top brass, and caused them to be extremely shocked and thoughtful. Basically speaking, my goal has actually been achieved, but I no longer think about it.
"Sally, what do you mean by those guys from the Flame Legion? They don't have to come so close to us to hunt, right? And I think I've seen the guy leading the team somewhere before." Watching me pass by the Fire Phoenix Legion and leave quickly, a division commander of the Fire Phoenix Legion asked the captain of their legion commander's guard curiously.
"There are three possibilities. First, they do have a fever and come here to hunt. Second, they come here to show off their might and want to teach us a lesson. Third, the commander of the Flame Legion, the familiar guy you mentioned, has taken a fancy to our beautiful and powerful legion commander and comes here to show off. But you said he looks familiar, and it seems that I have the same feeling, but I can't remember where I have seen him..." Sally immediately expressed her understanding.
"He is the loser who almost died this morning. He just came here to demonstrate." This clear but cold sentence immediately explained all the problems.
"Oh, it's the guy who was galloping on his horse this morning. No wonder. But I'm more inclined to believe that he has taken a fancy to our legion commander and came here to show off his tail feathers! But isn't it a bit stupid for him to bring a group of archers to show off in our legion, which is world-famous for its archers? If he brought a team of heavy cavalry, it might be a bit interesting, even if we shoot them, they will have some toughness..."
"Sally, if you don't know, don't talk nonsense. If outsiders hear it, the Fire Phoenix Legion will be embarrassed. Commander Weimar, you are more experienced. Take your men to the mountain and find some of the crossbow arrows they used. If possible, bring back the arrow they used to kill the rock beast..." Feng Ya, who was thinking about something, interrupted Sally and ordered his subordinates to find the arrows I discarded.
