Chapter 445: Driving Away the Half-Dragon Man (Part II)
PS: Ask for collections
In view of the fact that the fighting method of the half-dragon people is somewhat special, so the sun does not set on the side that participated in the battle for the Ilibya Basin, although Sun Lin nominally said that he was going to dispatch more than 300,000 troops, surrounded by infantry frontally, and the cavalry detoured to the rear of the Ilibya Basin through the Yatdaran Mountains, and annihilated the half-dragons in a way that was flanked and comprehensively promoted, but in fact, there were only 3 arms that really participated in this battle - the Longbow Guard, the Chamber Guard and the Dwarf Centurion, with a total of less than 100,000 troops.
As members of the Longbow Guard, whose lethality is weaker than that of the Giant Shield Crossbowmen, in fact, these Sunset Pro soldiers are more adapted to guerrilla warfare than the Half-Dragonman archers, because these Longbow Guards not only have the stamina comparable to the Half-Dragonman warriors, but also have superior archery skills than the Half-Dragonmen archers (in the case of bow-wielding ranged infantry and bow-wielding ranged infantry, because the lethality of the bow weapon itself is generally not very high, the two sides compete with archery rather than the lethality of the arrow), and most importantly, The hand-to-hand combat skills of these Longbow Guards were no slouch, and it was easy to take on the half-drake warriors who were not protected by the Snow Troll Warriors.
"Shoot the arrows!" The order was transmitted to the ears of the Sunset Longbow Guards who existed in skirmisher mode in the whispered order of the Sunset Centurion, and the members of the Sunset Longbow Guards in camouflage clothes immediately stood up from the weeds, and after completing the aiming, raising, and stringing in one go, they shot sharp arrows into the grass in the distance, and immediately, dozens of muffled snorts sounded in the ears of the longbowmen, and even some of the blood sprayed out splashed into the surrounding weeds.
After the first blow, the centurion of the Longbow squad did not continue to give the order to continue shooting, but immediately made a retreat gesture, allowing his men to disperse from both sides, and retreat to the rear after making an arc, all for the simple reasons of this, firstly, the distance between the Longbow Guards and those half-dragons was a hundred meters, and it was impossible to launch a hand-to-hand combat to annihilate the enemy in this case; Then, at present, I only guessed that there were half-dragon warriors moving forward in the grass in front of me, but I didn't know how many enemies were moving forward, and it was not a good idea to collide with an enemy who didn't know the truth and reality, instead of starting a fierce battle with the enemy in the next process, it was better to take a step to open the sea and the sky, and kill as many enemies on the opposite side as possible in the way of fighting and retreating while reducing your own losses; At the end of the day, his own unit was only the vanguard reconnaissance force behind the stragglers in the rear, and its task was to attract the enemy into the rear encirclement, rather than to confront the enemy. Therefore, in less than a second after the centurion made the retreat gesture, the hundred members of the Longbow Guard, who had already played the strategic retreat well, left their previous position with the sound of "rustling" grass.
However, the half-dragon man on the opposite side is worthy of being a natural archer and a natural long-distance runner, after being hit by the sudden rain of arrows for a few seconds, he made a counterattack containing hundreds of arrows, and several unlucky members of the longbow guard were immediately shot through the body by the powerful arrows, although these longbow guards are equipped with light chain mail and inlaid armor, and they are equipped with a small iron log shield in their hands or on their backs, but it is nothing for the half-dragon warriors who can shoot through the armor of the heavy cavalry, so after the half-dragon man's counterattackImmediately, 2 members of the Longbow Guards were killed by arrows on the spot, and another 3 were slightly injured to varying degrees, and one of them was pierced through the left thigh by a flying arrow, but fortunately, the comrades next to him discovered his condition in time, gagged his mouth with the cotton cloth on his body, and then dragged him away, so as to ensure that the longbow guards did not expose the location of their surrounding comrades while surviving.
The skirmisher confrontation is not as grand as on the frontal battlefield, but it is more frightening than the frontal battlefield, just like the soldiers on the side of the sun who never sets are always on the lookout for whether there will be traps left by the half-dragons under their feet, and the half-dragons are always careful whether they will be the next target of those sun-free longbowmen whose archery skills are more skilled than their own, so at this time, dozens of fresh lives will fall in countless every second on the seemingly calm Ilibyan Basin, However, it would not be wrong to say that the current theater of operations in the Ilibya Basin is completely quiet. As the saying goes, there must be good and evil, and there must be light and dark, and when the armies of the two sides involved in the battle of the Iliba Basin were secretly clashing in this land that had been abandoned for a long time, and was overgrown with weeds that provided shelter for the soldiers of both sides, a force that the half-dragon warriors could not believe and understand at all appeared in their field of vision.
.........With the collapse of the wooden low city walls, the dwarf centurions, who were one story taller than these wooden city walls, waved his hand and directly cleaned up all the remaining half-dragon archers on the city wall in front of him, and with the influx of guards in the secret room, the originally crowded half-dragon man camp became more crowded and chaotic.
Although the Half-Dragons are elite archers and extremely poor hand-to-hand warriors, this does not mean that there are no warriors among the Half-Dragons tribe, just like the Welsh of the original world, although they are famous for their longbows, many of them still choose to fight with their main combat weapon: spears, rather than fighting their enemies with longbows.
But no matter how much the half-dragon warriors armed with stone axes and bone daggers in this half-dragon tribe were resisting, they could not slow down the enemy's advancing troops, because what appeared in front of them were 10 dwarven centurions with a height of 10 meters who completely ignored the killing of long-range weapons such as arrows, and the secret room guards who were extremely immune to bow-type ranged weapons and hand-to-hand weapons. The war machinery that has now become part of the war machinery technology of the Great Empire of the Sunset, under the cover of the fire of the members of the longbow guards in the distance, and with the cooperation of hundreds of heavily armoured, dwarven giant hammers, and hand-held war machine override devices, they quickly slaughtered all the half-dragons in this half-dragon gathering area, leaving thousands of corpses of half-dragon warriors, and then marched towards the gathering place of the half-dragon tribe on another mountain peak. to leave with peace of mind.
At the same time, 100,000 Cuman cavalry and 100,000 Sunset cavalry were already about to cross the mountain range in the Yatdarang mountain range, which intersects with the border of the Iliban Basin, and appear beyond the border of the Ottoman Empire.
