Chapter 137: The Battle in the Forest
.........The bowstring of the longbow sounded, and arrows with conical steel arrows flew out of the hands of several Yoman longbowmen, and finally plunged into the chests of the two Mars lynx warriors as they cut through the trees, causing them to fall to the ground and unable to get up after screaming. But their bodies were not taken away by their companions behind them, because before the bobcat warriors could react from the death of the two bobcat warriors, dozens more arrows flew towards them with the sound of breaking through the air, and at this time, even fools knew that they had been ambushed.
"Onward! Advance! It's the Yoman longbowmen of the empire on which the sun never sets! Rush up and kill them! Otherwise, we're all going to die here! As soon as the fear of the ambush had subsided, an older Lynx troop shouted, and from his very calm and slightly trembling tone, all the Bobcat warriors knew that the man who shouted this was none other than one of the less than 1,000 soldiers of the Lynx squad who had previously entered the vast forest with Mars's vanguard and had survived from the arrows of tens of thousands of Yoman longbowmen. While the 1,000 soldiers who fled from the forest now suffer from mild neuroticism, always stopping to stare at one spot as the line advances, it is undeniable that they are now the most capable of responding in an emergency of all the Mars soldiers.
But the Retaliation judgment is only a judgment, and it belongs to the kind of hindsight, except for allowing the centurion of each squad to bring back some soldiers to escape from the forest after defeat, as happened at this time, although the old soldier pointed out that it was an ambush from the Yoman longbowmen at the first time, and immediately found the location of these Yoman longbowmen from the layers of woods, but it was still useless.
When the brave and warlike bobcat warriors rushed towards the Yoman longbowmen, they were stopped by the sharpened stakes set by the Yoman longbowmen hidden in the trees, and the most hateful thing was that in front of these presents, there were always some roots or thorns that could easily trip people off, as long as these flying lynx warriors were not careful, they would taste the taste of piercing the body. Moreover, the combination of thorn strips and sharpened wooden stakes is just one of the traps in this forest area, and there are countless such killing pits and rolling stones here.
The terrifying trap, coupled with the arrows that flew out of the bushes from time to time, this Bobcat unit, like many previous assault reconnaissance teams, after rushing forward for a distance of less than 200 meters, retreated backwards because of more than half of the casualties and demoralization collapse, as for the old soldier who was the only one who made a sound in this battle, he was nailed to the trees by 3 arrows in the process of the previous charge, of course, scenes like this are everywhere in this forest, not only very "fresh", And it is increasing by more than 100 per day................
At this time, in the depths of the forest, a young Yoman longbowman, after finishing the previous blocking battle, came to a middle-aged man wearing a badge of the centurion level of the Sunset Empire in front of him and said, "Huh? Captain, you're carving tree trunks again! Let me see, 1, 2, 3......... 21, wow! Captain! You've already killed 21 of them today! That's amazing! You know, I've shot more than 30 arrows just now, but the number of shots I've hit is less than half of .............."
"That's it! Don't lift me up, boy, I'm just shooting faster than you, and I've shot 40 shots from the previous blockade, and it's insulting to kill 21 people to be our longbowmen. The middle-aged man shook his head with a bitter face.
"How can you be a captain! You must know that this is a lush forest, and it can shoot at the target under the block of hundreds of trees, which only we Yoman longbowmen can do, even those crossbowmen with the eight shells of the king can't do it, how can such a record insult the name of our longbowmen? But............ But Captain, the brothers' hands have been moving comfortably these days, but those arrows seem to be running out, what can we do, we can't complete the task given to us by General Andelt without arrows! ”
"The stinky boy only now remembered that there were only a few arrows left in his quiver, didn't he? I told you to just take an aphrodisiac and pull the bow like crazy over there, now it's okay.......... oh stinky boy, you came here to pat yourself on the back for this! But don't think about it, last time I gave you a bag of arrows assigned to me by the quartermaster, and now I don't have much left............." said the middle-aged man helplessly.
"Wouldn't it? Wouldn't that be the next battle for me? I don't ............." At this moment, a Hobila Ranger came galloping from this side on horseback and asked the middle-aged Yoman longbowman, "Are you the centurion in charge of the Yoman longbowmen in this area?" A new batch of arrows has arrived, please bring some people to get them, and this is the next battle plan, General Andert has asked all non-commissioned officers above the centurion level, including all the centurions, to be seen. ”
"Yes, let me see......... Did General Andrett really decide to implement this plan? Isn't it too early? ”
"It's not too early, those Mars people with strong noses have already discovered some problems in this area, and there will definitely be flaws in this delay, and then the gains will outweigh the losses, and strategically speaking, we have completed the delay plan, the defenses of the cities behind us have all been repaired, and the residents of the villages and towns near this area have all moved into the city, General Andert called us Hobira Rangers to tell the people who were ordered to tell them that the nets they had set up should be recycled."
"I understand, please tell your Excellency the General, and tell him to rest assured that we, the Yoman longbowmen, will complete this mission with His Royal Highness, and all of us will return to the city safely."
"I will, then, good luck to you!" With that, the Hobila Ranger turned his horse's head and left in the direction he had galloped from, while the young soldier from earlier leaned over and asked the middle-aged centurion, "Captain?" What does that guy mean? Why can't I understand? I don't even understand what you just said. ”
"You don't have to think about it, anyway, you will know the Dao tonight, you just need to know the Dao now, we are about to become a textbook that will be built in the future as Sun Lin Mian said, and the Sun Will Not Set Imperial Military Academy will be built in the future!"
