Chapter 409: Battle of the Swamp (Medium)
"It's cavalry! It's the heavy cavalry of Atlanta! The crossbowmen arrived quickly! "Seeing the Atlantan heavy cavalry trampling the ground and shaking, the commander of the army who commanded the heavy infantry and long-range infantry to surround the Atlantan noble army did not dare to hold it up, as they had witnessed Bobby's 30,000 cavalry rushing into the heart of the Warsaw Alliance, and even better than the Atlantan noble heavy cavalry officers who rushed in, they knew how terrible the power of the charge would be when the number of these heavy cavalry reached a certain amount, And they knew how badly the terrifying power of the charge would be on their side, which had just shown a glimmer of victory.
Although Xiyi Ashigaru is a super pikeman class in the spear-type class, no matter from any point of view, Sun Lin can't trust this group of Xiyi militia who tremble all over in the face of heavy cavalry charges, even if these Xiyi Ashigaru have participated in several major battles before, let alone those giant shield crossbowmen who carry giant shields. Therefore, after Sun Lin dispatched the Xiyi infantry to the way where the Atlanta heavy cavalry would inevitably charge, there was also a group of Sunset Xiyi Marine Corps equipped with Yetai swords and the Tengu flag on the legion banner and the Sunset Xiyi Marine Corps equipped with sickles and Guliu banners moved to the front army of the Atlanta aristocratic army and the rear army of the Atlantan aristocratic army respectively, that is, those Xiyi Ashigaru who had been dispatched by Sun Lin before were listed in formation, waiting for the orders of the junior officers in the army.
From the names of the two legions with some Xiyi characteristics, many people can think of the Changyi Legion that performed prominently in the two battles of the Noble Alliance, and in fact, these two legions, like the Changyi Regiment, are also composed of Xiyi samurai, and they are also equipped with a new type of samurai armor created by the Xiyi craftsman who will not slow down its movement speed and flexibility in battle, but the Tengu Legion is composed of the wild sword samurai among the Xiyi samurai, and the Guliu Legion is composed of sickle monks.
"Shoot the arrows!" Under the firepower network composed of giant shield crossbowmen, although these Atlanta cavalry were equipped with heavy iron armor, this defense could not resist the penetration of the Mo forged crossbow in the hands of the giant shield crossbowmen. So after a few rounds of crossbow arrows fell, many of the Atlanta's heavy cavalry fell in a pool of blood and were trampled into mud by the horses of their comrades who followed.
And at this moment, on both sides of the wide yellow mud road rushed by these heavy cavalry, countless flaming arrows suddenly flew out of the originally quiet woods, and these arrows were not ordinary arrows, but were made into slender 4-diamond cones specially used by the sun does not set Yoman longbowmen, and the power of these armor-piercing arrows was completely comparable to the crossbow arrows shot by Mo Forging's crossbow under the use of the archery master Yoman longbowmen, not to mention that these arrows were also smeared with Greek fire.
The Atlantan heavy cavalry who were raided by the long-range troops of the sun never set instantly felt the threat of their own flanks, and the threat level of the Yoman longbowmen from these superb archery skills was definitely higher than that of those Mo forging crossbows, after all, although the Mo forging crossbow was powerful but the loading speed was slow, and it was mainly used to deal with the heavy infantry with a slower moving speed, and when dealing with the heavy cavalry, in addition to the frontal charge, these giant shield crossbowmen within a distance of 100 steps had no accurate attack rate for any cavalry, Of course, this will only happen to the other models of Mo Forged Crossbows except for the cavalry type Mo Forged Crossbow.
"Sir, do you think these Yat cavalrymen will be attracted to us?" In the low bushes, the longbowman with a longbow chewed on the last grass roots, and asked an old archer with the rank of commander beside him: "And as he was questioning, the arrow he just fired hit an Atlantan heavy cavalryman, and the cavalryman fell off his horse immediately after four more arrows."
"I'm not one of those noble officers of the Atlantan aristocratic army, how do I know about it." The old archer replied lightly, and by the way, he spit out the grass roots next to his mouth: "But as long as this group of Atlantan heavy cavalry is not brain-dead, and they know that our Yoman longbowmen will be able to use regional suppression, then they will definitely turn their guns on our side, no, don't they all start to execute?" ”
Looking at the direction of the arrows in the old archers' hands, the Yoman longbowman who asked the question immediately noticed that the Atlanta heavy cavalry was moving rapidly in the process of the Atlanta heavy cavalry running forward, and after shooting a new arrow out of the canopy, the lions that had completed the horses under their crotch all stopped advancing and turned the horse's head in the direction of their own side in a series of actions.
"Drive! Drive! Under the whip in the hands of the Atlanta heavy cavalry, the Atlantan heavy cavalry, armed with knight's spear and equipped with knight's shield and sword, immediately divided into three lines, leaving a few thousand heavy cavalry to continue to rush forward, the other two wings ran out of 1,500 Atlantan heavy cavalry galloped towards the Yoman longbowmen.
Seeing that the Atlantan heavy cavalry began to rush towards their side, the Yoman longbowmen on both wings gradually stopped shooting, but even when they stopped shooting, they maintained the action of filling the purple-shirted longbow in their hands with arrows ignited by fire oil, and when all the Yoman long hands were in this position, the two Atlantan heavy cavalry moving towards the two wings had also entered the swamp that slowed down the movement of the horses under their crotches sharply, and the swamp at this time suddenly reflected many colorful lights under the sunlight for some reason, And it exudes a strange scent.
"It's now! Set fire to them! When the Atlantan heavy cavalry had all entered the swamp, the roars of dozens of officers who never set the sun sounded almost at the same time in the low bushes on both sides, and in the next second, the rocket arrows that had been accumulated by thousands of Yoman longbowmen flew out and fell into the swamps as tiny meteors. And these two pieces were filled with methane, and their surfaces were poured in advance by the Greek fire that was insoluble and could only float on the surface of the water, and was also ignited by these thousand rocket arrows in an instant, and the rapidly spreading flames instantly engulfed all the Atlantan heavy cavalry that entered the swamp.
"The use of geographical suppression must not allow a fish to slip through the net." Under the effect of geographical suppression, more than a few thousand Atlanta heavy cavalry were directly left in a swamp that turned into a sea of fire, but at the same time, the Atlanta heavy cavalry that had previously charged those Xiyi Ashigaru also tore apart the spear forest composed of the two Xiyi Ashigaru at the head and tail.
