Chapter 482: Twin Stars (12)

Now the victory or defeat of the two sides can be described as one-to-one, in the northwest region of the interior of the Western Continent, the Xiyi Army led by Oda Nobunaga took advantage of the time and man-made location to cripple the cavalry troops of the Water Qilin Empire, and in the southeast region of the inland of the Western Continent, the commander of the Left Route Army of the Water Qilin took advantage of the flaw of the aristocratic heavy armor regiment to cripple 80% of the heavy hand-to-hand combat soldiers under Assal, in addition, Asal also suffered a recurrence of the dark disease, and the commander of the Left Route Army who was chasing the Water Qilin was hit by a poisonous dark arrow and was seriously injured, very can survive the current can only look at its creation.

However, what makes both sides feel fortunate is that although there is a victory or defeat in each of the two war zones, the side that is in a weak position after this victory or defeat can rely on certain conditions to maintain the long-term confrontation between the two armies in these two areas, just like on the battlefield in the northwest region, although the right army of the water qilin was crippled by the Xiyi army, but the crippled is crippled, and crippled does not mean that it is completely destroyed: the water unicorn who escaped and returned to the camp to regain the war horse survived the knights and cavalry, With the help of the high mobility of the cavalry troops, the Xiyi soldiers guarding the four county territories were completely disturbed, forcing them to be unable to evacuate and unable to leave the situation in the four county territories to support Riptide Fort.

And in the southeast district, the Water Qilin Left Route Army, with more than 40,000 Water Qilin soldiers, including 17,000 heavy infantry, wiped out the sun that never sets2. After 50,000 hoplites, they also encountered the same problem: the powerful Longbow troops of the sun never set took guerrilla warfare tactics to the extreme, forcing their side to be unable to make a strong counterattack against the Longbow troops when they lost more than half of their troops, and were forced to stay in the Linhai area for more than 3 days. But then they went to find that it was impossible to capture the fortress in front of them with almost the same number of garrisons as their own, but the defense facilities included all kinds of equipment including giant crossbows, scorpion crossbows, and canister bows, and according to those Atlantans who wanted to make a detour, the road they took would be in the forest, and the commander of the Left Route Army of the Water Qilin simply decided to build a camp 10 miles outside the Ozkov fortress, waiting for the opportunity to capture this fortress. Obviously, everyone in the Water Qilin Empire's road army has been frightened by the previous fire.

At the same time, the sun never sets is also frightened by the Water Qilin Middle Road Army outside Riptide Castle, because the defense level of the castle of Riptide Castle has broken several teeth of the Water Qilin Middle Road Army.

"Barnum! Top Shield! As the roar of the captain of the Water Qilin Empire sounded, the well-trained Barnum militia immediately put the wooden iron tower shield in his hand in front of his body, and led the Sante crossbowmen holding crossbows to move forward slowly, but it was a pity that these militiamen with tower shields could still get a little advantage if they were in the southeast and northwest theaters of the Western Continent, but here in Fort Riptide, they could only hold a grudge for this.

"Launch!" With the sound of gear collision, huge flints roared past, flying towards the battle formation composed of Barnum militia and Sant hand crossbowmen, of course, before that, nearly a hundred small "meteors" of flickering silver light had pierced the air beside them, and under the dull gaze of the water unicorn soldiers, they directly smashed the giant shield held up by the Barnum militia on their heads, and shot directly through the body of the person who smashed the back of the shield, and shot through the body of the Sant crossbowmen behind him and the Barnum militia in the next column.

However, after a few days of siege warfare, as the best mentor of the soldiers, "War", they have been warned that in the face of the Scorpion Crossbow, which is as powerful as the ballista, but the accuracy can be compared to the Scorpion Crossbow of the later generations equipped with 8x magnifying glasses, the only thing they can do is to feel silent for those who are targeted by it, and other than that, they will readjust the shape.

It has entered the distance of the Imperial Land War Scorpion Crossbow that the sun never sets, and correspondingly has also broken away from the effective range of those giant crossbows defending the city and the counterweight trebuchet temporarily placed on the city wall No. 3, the water unicorn soldiers who originally looked like a long strip immediately dispersed, and the self-cellular machine crossbow (equivalent to the medieval version of the rifled machine gun, using the exquisite design to make the 12 javelins installed in the honeycomb javelin slot tilt the javelin rain towards the enemy soldiers while the soldiers turn the handles, the javelin fired by this war instrument is not very powerful, If the power of the scorpion crossbow is 130 points, then the power of the cellular crossbow is 80 points, and the accuracy of the cellular crossbow is also comparable to the shark stone cannon of the original Atlanta Empire, and the cellular crossbow that is not high is still extremely terrifying, after all, no matter how bad the attack power of the cellular crossbow is compared to the sunset scorpion crossbow, the attack power of more than 60 points can cause deadly damage to the body of most intelligent creatures) Under the cover, The Sant crossbowmen immediately launched a scattered formation and used their crossbows to attract the attention of the giant shield crossbowmen on the city wall, while the Barnum militiamen holding the tower shield gave up the bulky tower shield in their hands, and moved towards the outer city wall of Riptide Fortress with the siege ladder hidden under the tower shield with only the short sword and light armor on their bodies, and many heavy infantry armed with long-handled hammers and large iron shields also ran out of the water unicorn army formation, moving towards the city wall.

Since the opponent's army formation was not dense, the canister bows were carried down, and the scorpion crossbow that had been leaning on the city wall was the same, and at the same time, the orc warriors who had already prepared for the battle also stepped forward with one boulder after another, and smashed these boulders in their hands into the Barnum militia who moved like small ants under the 20-meter-high city wall. At the same time, the Sunset Giant Shield Crossbowmen, equipped with Mo Forged Crossbows, also shifted their targets to the Watt Heavy Infantry who were running in the distance.

As the signature weapon of the long-range troops of the Sunset, the perverted penetration of the Mo Forging Crossbow that can be compared with the early hand cannons completely enables it to completely shoot through the fragile heavy chain mail on the Watt heavy infantry with steel crossbow arrows, so that the bodies of these brown-haired and blue-eyed giants from the Western Regions of the Central Continent slowly fall down in extreme pain, as for the Sante crossbowmen and Barnum militia who attacked the head of the city, they have been ignored by the Sunset Giant Shield Crossbowmen, because if they are injured by those hand crossbow shots, Then it can only be regarded as the bad luck of the arrow, and with the orc warriors as the guard, those Barnum guards are completely out of the climate.

So the fact is just like what the sun never sets on the giant shield crossbowmen thought, when they were almost finished shooting the incoming Watt heavy infantry point, this wave of water unicorn soldiers who came to test left and left, but at the same time, in the rear water unicorn army array, the water unicorn soldiers once again put their giant siege weapons out.
