In the darkness, a rain of arrows poured down.

But the actual damage caused was almost negligible, except for a few really unlucky guys who were directly crucified, probably less than 100 people were slightly injured.

In night raids, rain of arrows is rarely used.

Because in the absence of sufficient light, the accuracy of shooting naturally has no reference, and basically can only rely on the archer's own judgment and experience.

This shooting technique is called blind shooting.

In this world, there are only four races of archers who can really shoot blindly, two on the ground and two underground. However, in fact, these four races are not really blind shots, but because they can see as much as day even in a dark environment, so the light has no effect on them at all.

It's just that this archer army that launched a rain of arrows attack naturally couldn't be one of the two earthly races that could shoot blindly. Otherwise, just how many arrows are fired in this wave of arrows can basically take how many lives - Alfred's seven battles were not without overnight attacks, and that one was also a real heavy casualty. So it's not for nothing that you don't make a fire at night.

After the rain of arrows, the ground shook louder, and in the moonlight, at one end of the horizon, a cavalry unit could already be seen charging towards Alfred's "camp".

An "enemy attack" sounded, and the voice was full of vicissitudes of grief and indignation.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of "enemy attacks" sounded in unison, and the killing intent was monstrous.

Alfred lifted the fangs of the Flame Lion, the weapon was still a half-finished weapon, but it was sharp enough to beat it all. And after fighting continuously for so long, this halberd did not have a trace of curl, not only the head of the spear was as sharp as ever, but even the blade of the axe was as smooth as ever. Even in front of this halberd, Alfred could still split it in half with an axe, or pierce it directly with a single shot.

Halberds together. It's as if the whole army has found its backbone. All the archers retreated in unison, gathered around the unarmed Northland barbarians, old and young, and the arrows had been drawn and planted into the ground one by one, so that it would be easier for them to draw their arrows and shoot them. The more numerous Northland barbarians, with shields and spears, surrounded the archers and stood with shields erected. The center of gravity sank, tightly against the half-body shield in his hand, and the spear in his hand was also on the shield.

It barely took Alfred to speak, and a few veterans had already helped assemble the entire army, all the while forming a simple formation.

After seven consecutive battles, most people knew that this army had been sharply reduced from more than 9,000 to more than 6,000. There were nearly three thousand less. But how many people know that the barbarians of the Northlands, regardless of men, women, and children, can become soldiers? The strength of the 4,000 or so Northland barbarians has not diminished to this day, and if one of the Northland barbarians falls, his father or mother, son, or brother will take his arms and replace him as a steel-winged soldier again.

On the contrary, the soldiers of the White Wing Mercenary Regiment, which originally had more than 1,000 people, are now less than 1,000 left.

A second wave of arrows poured in.

Again, Alfred was not required to give orders. There are already veterans who have spoken to command.

All the Northland barbarians standing in the second and third rows quickly dispersed around their companions. Then he raised the half-body shield in his hand to block the dense second wave of arrows for his companions behind him and around him. This rain of arrows. Hardly any real damage was done - the Iron Wings were a force that Sean had built to form a steel phalanx that could withstand attacks from all sides and from above.

Sean didn't hide this from Alfred and William, but because of their different command ideas, Steel Wings had some small changes under the command of these two.

Alfred was perfect for Sean's plan - so when the people in need of protection in the rear shrank down, the steel wings raised up to form a solid steel mirror, so as to perfectly block the enemy's arrow rain.

Almost as soon as this wave of arrows was stopped, all the steel-winged soldiers immediately lowered their half-body shields, re-lined up into a phalanx again, and used their half-body shields against the backs of their comrades in front of them one by one to cope with the upcoming cavalry onslaught.

As soon as the almost steel-winged troops had regrouped, all the archers began to draw their bows with arrows under the orders of the veterans. At the sound of a command, nearly a thousand archers suddenly loosened their strings, and the arrows were thrown out like flying locusts.

After a round of arrow rain, about a dozen horsemen were shot and unfortunately fell off their horses. In the midst of the cavalry charge, the unfortunate ones who fell off their horses could no longer have any chance of surviving, and by the time the horses galloped past in clusters, the fallen ones had already become a mess of meat sauce.

After the first rain of arrows, several veterans measured the distance, and then they all started to shout again, and all the archers began to adjust the distance slightly, and then drew the arrows stuck in the ground again, and then the second round of arrows shot again like flying locusts.

This dense rain of arrows immediately shot down the dozens of cavalry who were rushing to the front. Although I felt the terrible reflexes of these archers in my heart, there was naturally no turning back after charging so far, so all the cavalry began to cling to the back of their horses, and reduced their size as much as possible, hoping not to be so unlucky to be shot by the third wave of arrows.

But this time, the archer's shot was no longer a throw, but a hanging shot!

Hundreds of arrows shot into the night sky, and then they landed at an even faster speed, truly like a torrential rain. The cavalrymen who clinged to their horses completely exposed their backs to the rain of arrows, and were shot through their leather armor by countless falling arrows, although the cavalry that fell off their horses was less than the second wave of arrow rain, but this kind of damage was much more brutal than the second wave of arrow rain.

After three waves of arrows, less than 800 of the thousands of cavalry remained, and more than 100 of them were wounded before they could fight.

At this time, the cavalry finally rushed in front of the steel wings, but the first group of cavalry had been wounded, and the momentum of the cavalry troops had decreased a lot. On the other hand, on the side of the Northland barbarians, everyone's faces had a fierce color, and the size and distance between them were reduced to a smaller size, almost one next to each other, the northland barbarians in the front row held the half-body shield in their hands, and the second row also held the half-body shield, and used the shield against the back of the first-row Northland barbarians. The third row is against the back of the second row. Three rows in quick succession formed a tight phalanx.

Archers, at this time, have also begun to shoot freely.

No one paid any attention to the arrows fired by the enemy's archers, and casualties began to increase as the two forces fought each other.

After a few seconds, the cavalry finally crashed like a black wave, slamming on the reef of the Northland barbarians.

But under the crash of the huge waves, it was not white spray, but red blood!

Dense cavalry units charged. It only broke through the first platoon of the Northland barbarian defense, and even the second platoon was not completely crushed, and the charge of the entire cavalry unit was completely frozen. The cavalry troops, which had lost their momentum, could not completely penetrate this weak defense line composed of Northland barbarians, but were stabbed out of their spears by the Northland barbarians, who were already familiar with fighting with cavalry—not horses, but cavalrymen who stabbed horses.

Heavy riding and slashing horses, light riding killing.

Refined iron spears pierced the leather armor of these cavalrymen without hindrance. The tip of the spear that came out of the body was covered with red blood.

At the same time, the Northland barbarians, who were on both sides of the charge, immediately quickly closed their bodies from both sides, and they held their half-body shields to cover most of their bodies, not looking at the enemy's situation, but just stabbing the spears in their hands at the enemy on the horses. Almost every shot can penetrate the body of a cavalryman, but the sabers in the swords of the cavalry can hardly cut these northland barbarians.

And at this time, Alfred had already raised the fangs of the flame lion in his hand. One leap rushed into the enemy's ranks. There are enemies on all sides. Alfred didn't even bother with any situation, just slashing or stabbing constantly. As long as he handed over the halberd in his hand, he would take a life with him every time.

In the midst of the enemy formation, Alfred walked forward as if he were striding leisurely, not paying any attention to what stood in front of him, he only knew that when he cut through this army, then it was time for this army to rout and flee. And soon, there were Northland barbarians following Alfred's footsteps behind him, and the cavalry troops that should have chiseled through the formation of the Northland barbarians like a sharp blade and then slaughtered at will were in turn completely cut and scattered by these Northland barbarians, forming a small group of scattered parts, which were eaten away one by one.

Alfred only felt that the pressure around him suddenly lightened, and the three cavalrymen who had intercepted in front of him had been completely killed by him, and the endless plains in front of him had completely penetrated this cavalry unit in turn. Dozens of Northland barbarians rushed out after Alfred, almost all of them covered in blood, and they couldn't tell whether it was the blood of the enemy or their own.

Finally, this cavalry unit seemed to be unable to withstand this kind of fighting, and collapsed first.

They pulled the reins in terror and began to flee, while some of the horsemen, who had not even lost their mounts, fell off their horses, got up and fled immediately. In the blink of an eye, the cavalry unit that launched the charge had already turned into a rout, fleeing in all directions on the plain, and there was still the indomitable charging attitude before.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Alfred did not order a pursuit, but turned his head to look at the other side of the horizon.

The earth trembled again.

Another cavalry unit appeared at the end.

The number of this cavalry unit was not large, probably only a few hundred horsemen, but these cavalrymen were all heavily armoured, armed with a cavalry spear, and even the mounts under the crotch were also wearing horse armor, which was obviously a well-built heavy cavalry unit.

One of the commanders at the head reached out and slapped the mask on his helmet, and with a finger of his spear, the entire cavalry unit began to slowly accelerate. Seeing this cavalry unit charging forward, Alfred let out a hearty laugh, and behind him, all the Northland barbarians to whom the steel wings belonged began to regroup in silence, and they, like Alfred, did not have the slightest fear on their faces.

When Alfred's halberd also pointed forward, he shouted coldly, "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" All the Northland barbarians echoed in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Alfred, under the leadership of the heavy cavalry, launched a fearless charge against this heavy cavalry unit.

Alfred, the leader, stared at the commander deadly, only feeling that there was nowhere to vent his blood and anger, and there seemed to be something about to explode in his whole body. He clenched the fangs of the flame lion in his hand, he was not sure if he would survive after this battle, but he only knew that if he dared to intercept the enemy in front of him, he would definitely tear it apart completely.

The two sides are getting closer.

The distance between them was less than ten meters.

But at this moment, Alfred finally let out a furious roar, as if he wanted to concentrate all his anger on the halberd in his hand, and felt the hot flames burning on the halberd, and Alfred suddenly swung out the halberd like a heart.

I saw a crimson air current, suddenly shooting out from Alfred's halberd, towards the commander.

Vindictive!

Silver!

After getting so close, the commander didn't have time to dodge at all, he could only watch as this fighting qi exploded on his body, and then his consciousness was completely surrounded by darkness.

In the eyes of others, the commander of this heavy cavalry unit was blown to pieces by Alfred's fighting spirit, along with his crotch mount. And this fighting spirit did not stop at all, and swept several meters away towards the rear of this heavy cavalry unit, and all the heavy cavalry swept by this fighting spirit along the way were completely blown into a puddle of blood and flesh in an instant, and not even a whole corpse was left.

Seeing such a shocking scene, the heavy cavalry troops subconsciously slowed down their momentum, and everyone felt a sense of fear.

But the Iron Wings let out a louder roar of excitement, and then rushed towards the heavy cavalry at an even faster speed.

In the next instant, the two forces collided violently.

However, the expected scene of the Northland barbarians being chiseled through by the charge of the heavy cavalry did not appear, but the heavy cavalry troops were completely overwhelmed by the fierce and fierce guys of the Northland barbarians. It's like a pebble thrown into the black lake, but it doesn't even ripple a little!

Everyone knew that this heavy cavalry unit was also destroyed.

And tonight's night attack was also a failure.

Wolves?

This is a real pack of lions! (To be continued.) )

PS: Don't say anything, seven more today! There are still four more left!! Just ask for a commuter pass!!
