Chapter 609: The Battle of Mordan (11)
After the soldiers of the United Kingdom of Aihuasha fought with the orc warriors for a while, as the horn of retreat sounded behind the army on which the sun never sets, the orc warriors began to fight and retreat, and took the orc comrades who had fallen into the pile of corpses due to the disillusionment after the effect of the madness ended, and the corpses of the orc warriors on the field, and began to retreat in full force.
Although the soldiers of Aihuasha were surprised that the orc warriors suddenly retreated because they were occupying the top, but the concept of counterattacking these soldiers of the United Kingdom of Aihuasha still knew the way, and they had been destroyed by these orc warriors from the Great Empire of the Sun Never Setting before, and they must have chosen to counterattack when the orc warriors exposed their backs to them at this time, and then they were hit by arrows.
"Shoot the arrows!" With the sound of breaking the air, the Aihuasha soldiers who had not yet begun to pursue began to fall in pieces after countless crossbow arrows flying in the cold light, in the instinct of fear of death, after hearing the opposite sun never set officers constantly shouting the word "release arrows" in the continental lingua franca, whether it was the Aihuasha warriors who belonged to the hand-to-hand combat soldiers, or the long-range troops Rose archers, they all groped around in panic to grab the nearest tower shield to the side, and then curled up their bodies under the tower shield as much as possible to resist the flying crossbow arrows.
However, although the soldiers from the United Kingdom of Ahuasha curled up behind the tower shield and squatted down to let the tower shield lean on their body, the screams in the mouths of the Ahuasha soldiers did not stop there, and almost every sound of breaking the air would take the life of an Ahuasha soldier, and the Ahuasha soldiers were both panicked and helpless, after all, the armor-piercing ability of the Mo Forging Crossbow was too perverted, Even the 1 centimeter-thick super-heavy plate armor on the members of the Ottoman court knight guards could not withstand the Mo Forging Crossbow of the cavalry crossbow in the hands of the auxiliary cavalry, and how could a steel binding of less than 5 mm in a layer be able to resist the regular long-range infantry type of Mo Forging Crossbow?
But the sound of breaking the air finally turned from dense to sparse, and finally became the slightest sound. These Aihuasha soldiers, who were frightened by the sun never setting Mo forging crossbow, finally discarded the tower shield in their hands one by one, and while feeling that the tower shield in their hands had become heavier for some reason, they gasped deeply in fright at the scene in front of them: At this time, the surrounding ground has been covered with arrows, if you want to make an average, then whether it is the corpse on the ground or the tower shield that fell on the ground, there are at least more than 10 arrows embedded in it, and these arrows are not ordinary arrows, Except for the tail and normal arrows, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. However, the wood and tail feathers of the handle are black, and the most important thing is that if the length of these arrows is compared, then the back half of these arrows is wood, and the front half of the body is steel.
Right! That's right, it's steel! When the Avatha warriors pulled out a crossbow arrow from their comrades, they were surprised to find that the arrows were not made into a steel sleeve attached to the tail of the arrow like ordinary arrows. It is then pressed against the wooden body of the arrow, and the steel sleeve is extended directly to the middle of the arrow's body. And it looks as if the steel sleeve is not directly on, but inlaid on the wooden body. At this time, the warrior of Ahuasha also found that he could not break these arrows with his bare hands, only the sharp Roman short sword in his hand could cut them off, and as for the part of the arrow that cut off the steel skin, he didn't even think about breaking it.
Looking at the battlefield with circles around her eyes like a hedgehog's back, all the Avatha soldiers couldn't help but swallow their saliva again, and if they hadn't hidden behind before thinking about themselves. It is possible to think that these comrades who fought on the front line did not shoot into hedgehogs and shivered, with the sound of horses' hooves and the footsteps of soldiers in iron boots, under the gaze of all the surviving Aihuasha soldiers present, the eldest prince and the famous general Cross of the United Kingdom of Aihuasha appeared in front of everyone on a war horse. Later, another Avatha Legion with about 1 regiment of strength appeared behind him, and the other 7 Avatha Legions that were supposed to be traveling with him did not appear in his field of vision.
"Your Excellency the Great Prince, Your Excellency General Cross." Under the gaze of the two famous Avatha figures, an Avatha man who had been shot in the shoulder and had been briefly handled at this time ran up to the two of them and saluted, "The 11th Legion Commander Sherlock salutes you. ”
"Captain Sherlock, it looks like you're not lightly injured." Looking at the bandages on the shoulders of the Legion Commander of the Elvasa that had turned pale red from blood, the eldest prince of the United Kingdom of Ehuasa stepped forward and said with concern: "Your Excellency the Legion Commander, let's go down and rest first, the matter here can be handled by me and General Cross, after all, we still need the command ability of the Sherlock Legion Commander on the battlefield in the future." ”
"I understand Your Excellency, the eldest prince, I will definitely take care of my injuries." After seeing the Captain of the Elvatha leave, a Knight of Ivasha who had been sent by General Cross before also came to the two Ivasha magnates with a heavy sword dragging an orc warrior and a few sunset crossbow arrows and said, "Your Excellency the Great Prince, Your Excellency General Cross, I have brought something. ”
As he spoke, the Ehuasa knight pulled out the saber at his waist, waved the saber in his hand, and put it on the war horse, to be precise, the orc heavy sword that was dragged by the war horse all the way fell to the ground, and handed the crossbow arrows in his hand to the hands of the two bigwigs of the United Kingdom of Ehuatha.
"This crossbow bolt is not ordinary." After staring at the few crossbow arrows in his hand that still smelled a little bloody, Cross sighed: "It is worthy of the crossbow arrows used by the regular army of the Sunset Great Empire, just from the eyes, you can see how good the armor-breaking power of these crossbow arrows is, if I guess correctly, these arrows should be the armor-piercing crossbow arrows dedicated to Mo Forge's crossbow in the hands of the Sunset Crossbowmen." ”
"With a bloodletting groove, the arrow has a long root, the color of the tail feather is black, and the body is made of a relatively hard iron core tree branch, so that the crossbow arrows will not be hindered by the air like those bendable arrows in the process of flying, and can shoot through the opponent's armor with faster speed and stronger impact. The eldest prince said, and at the same time, there was a puzzled look on his face: "Your Excellency General Cross, I have a question in my heart, I don't know if you can answer it for me. ”
"Of course, Your Royal Highness the Prince, please ask."
"Your Excellency General Cross, why do the crossbowmen who do not set the sun carry out long-range strikes when our army retreats, it can be seen from the arrows everywhere here that the sunset side makes such a choice not because of the number of arrows it has, could it be that those people who do not set the sun do not carry out long-range strikes earlier, they can harvest more lives of our soldiers?"
"Actually, I already have the answer in my mind, but I don't know which one it is?" Cross thought for a moment and replied: "The most likely reason is that in fact, the soldiers on the side of the sun never set originally used this orc warrior to attract the attention of all the soldiers of our army, so that we mobilized all our forces to surround and suppress these orc warriors, and then used these hidden sunset crossbowmen to carry out a surprise attack on us, catch us off guard and suppress our army here, I think if the soldiers of the sun never set really did this, it should be a very possible thing, This point has already been explained for us by the arrows all over the ground in front of us, and if our army is really suppressed here, then the sun will not set on the side to outflank our army, and then our army will be surrounded and annihilated by the general who does not set the sun here. ”
"However, because of a decision we made before, most of our troops moved from the forest area to the Iger Avenue, and only brought one regiment of troops to the rescue, so that the sun never set decided that there was no need to expose all its forces for the sake of this little force. Moreover, in this case, before its main force surrounds our army, the main force of our army is very likely to encircle and annihilate the two Sunset Corps here, and it is not cost-effective to pay the price of the destruction of the two regular legions to destroy the 10 regiments on our army's side, so Sunset finally chooses to hide its strength and withdraw. After saying that, Sherlock changed to a more relaxed tone, and said in a tone of expectation in his words: "As for the other possibility, although it is unlikely, but it is what I hope, that is, the army on which the sun never sets, like our army, is working to the border area between Great Mordan and the United Kingdom of Avatha, but we arrived earlier, and what we encountered before was the forward army on the side on which the sun never sets, and the forward army of these two regiments chose to retreat after finding that the forces in their hands could not gnaw at our army. ”
"Wait, General Cross, the sun never sets, what will you know the direction of our army, and know the approximate strength of our army.......... oh look at my memory! I've forgotten that when we came here we confirmed that the sun never sets and that we may have the ability to monitor the direction of our troops, so what should we do next, Your Excellency General Cross? You can't waste it here, Moldan still needs our army to support it! ”
"You really can't do it here." As he spoke, Cross also skimmed the huge heavy sword on the ground that was used by the orcs: "It is impossible to detour, if you march head-on, you will encounter soldiers who use this terrifying weapon, but now it seems that the only ..........option is to march head-on" (To be continued.)
