Chapter 595: Defending the City and Sending Reinforcements (II)
Since the two sides are engaged in street fighting, although it seems that these snake people with huge bodies are soldiers with strong individual combat effectiveness and the sun never sets, it should be said that they should stabilize the side that the sun does not set in the street battle. But in fact, the soldiers who never set the sun relied on the advantages of humans, to be precise, the advantages of intelligent creatures of this size of humans to stabilize the side of the snake people.
It's true that the snake warriors are big, but in fact, the snake warriors are simply a mountain of meat, they don't have decent armor at all, and some are just a layer of snakeskin armor that seems to be hard and tough.
And this is just one of the three reasons why snake warriors and human warriors feel sad, and the second one is also from the snake warrior itself: as we all know, snake warriors rely on their sharp hands that can cut through steel pieces to fight, which makes snake warriors in hand-to-hand combat can simply knock the orcs away with one blow, so the snake warriors have been called the strongest hand-to-hand warriors in the king continent in addition to dragon warriors.
But this also makes the question follow: "Hand-to-hand combat, you snake warriors are indeed good at hand-to-hand combat, even masters and masters, but I obviously have long-handled weapons and long-range weapons in my hands, and with these guys, I can kill you without you hurting me, so why should I start hand-to-hand combat with snake people?" Am I stupid? ”
As many soldiers who have fought with snake warriors have said, no matter how strong the snake warrior is in hand-to-hand combat, it can't hide its extremely short attack distance that is only one arm long, in this case, a young man with a Mo forging crossbow can directly use the Mo forging crossbow in his hand to knock down the snake warrior before he gets close in the one-on-one process, of course, whether this young man will use the Mo forging crossbow is not in the consideration of this kind of statement.
As for the most sad reason of the three reasons, the snake warrior still comes from the snake warrior himself - running is equal to the movement speed spread by the human warrior. The consequence of this extremely slow movement speed is that not to mention any long-range weapons, the halberd in the hands of the Swiss Guards alone is enough to solve everything.
When the river had been stained red with the blood of the corpses of the snake warriors covered in arrows, the snake warriors finally pushed their battle to the other side of the riverbank. And this river, which is only a few tens of meters wide and less than 1 meter high, has already received the corpses of hundreds of snake warriors for the sun never sets, and now under the blows of the crossbowmen in the distance, the number it collects is still increasing, of course, when these snake warriors come ashore, the source of the corpses of snake warriors in this truncated river is chopped again.
"Hack! Stab! Take a step back and do it again! Chop! Times! Take a step back and come back again............ "Under the command of the officers on which the sun never sets, among the members of the Swiss Guards who performed the uniform halberd wielding posture, the members in the first row continued to use the halberd in their hands, and again and again used the sharp head of the halberd to carry the huge body of the snake warrior and handed it to the Swiss Guard members in the second row to deal with.
The Swiss Guards, who were in the second row, struck the snake-man warrior's strongest head with the sharp head of the halberd. The head of the snake warrior was smashed to the ground by the halberd head in an instant, but these bloody scenes did not frighten these elite soldiers from the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, the reason is very simple, they are the elite troops of the Great Empire, and they have always been guarding the safety of Pope Sun Lin. In their creed, they only conquer fear, and do not allow themselves to be overcome by fear.
Of course, the members of the Swiss Guard were not without casualties. For example, some snake warriors who rose up before they died would grab the hilts of those halberds. The members of the Swiss Guards who also grabbed the weapon were borrowed and thrown into the air, and those who were lucky enough to fall to the side and fall unconscious, were carried down by their comrades, and those who were unlucky were thrown into the group of snake warriors, and then torn to pieces by those sharp claws.
In addition, with the continuous accumulation of the corpses of snake man warriors. With the life-for-life tactics used by those snake warriors, the battle formations originally placed by the members of the Swiss Guards on the edge of the river bank had to be squeezed back again and again, and as the sun did not set on the crossbowmen holding the Mo forging crossbow in the rear, the arms began to swell and sore because of the excessive shooting of crossbow arrows, so that the original rate of fire and strike power and even accuracy of the crossbow arrows decreased. It also began to make the members of the Swiss Guard, who originally only had to face the snake warriors who vaguely rushed to the bank of the river, now have to face the hordes of snake warriors, according to the current situation, if the battle continues, then these Swiss Guard members are very likely to be surrounded by snake warriors because the battle formation is overwhelmed, and finally die tragically at the hands of snake warriors.
"Damn! If this continues, the defensive position of the riverbank area will soon be broken through! There's a street that leads straight to the inner city wall, and if it really gets breached, the snake warriors can go straight to the inner city, no! Snake warriors must not be allowed to break through there, at least not until the rest of the area has begun to retreat in full force. After observing the riverbank defense line that was about to be broken through by the snake warriors, Leo immediately dispatched a part of the Atlanta spearmen who were very similar to the Swiss Guards' fighting style to join the battlefield, and at the same time, Leo sent a hundred sunset crossbowmen to the inner city section that stood on it and could use the Mo forging crossbow to support the river war zone from a distance.
At the same time, Leo also shifted his attention to the battlefield of the Walking English Knights and the battlefield of the Xiyi Warriors, on the battlefield of the former, these English Walking Knights with two-handed war hammers can be said to be abusing those snake warriors: The battlefield of the Walking English Knights is the most complex area in the outer city of the Snake People, and it stands to reason that this area should be the most familiar battlefield for the snake warriors, but in fact, when all the snake warriors entered, they found that this battlefield had become so unfamiliar.
Because they found that the alley that should have been walked through came to the end, but it was a pile of boulders blocking their way, and the corner of the wall that should have been a dead end was now opened on it that made the soldiers who never set the sun easily climb over, but the snake warriors could only smile helplessly at this.
And this is Leo's temporary plan: Leo knew as early as the beginning when he decided to fight with the snake warriors in the streets, if he fought with the snake warriors in the streets, then the soldiers who never set in the street battles would lose their sense of direction in the street battles because of their good understanding of the terrain, and because of the familiarity of the snake warriors with this time, they would not be able to sneak attack on their side, but they would be attacked by the snake warriors who entered the alley.
In Leo's opinion, since your own soldiers can't get acquainted with the city in a short time, why not transform the city into a battlefield that you know well? So there was a practice of the English foot knights in the process of renovating, chiseling through part of the wall or fence of the house, and then using the gravel left behind by the chisel to block off part of the street, and this method proved to be absolutely effective.
"Kill!" It was so calm that in the terrifying alley, just as dozens of snake warriors were slowly moving forward with vigilant faces, dozens of English foot knights armed with war hammers suddenly rushed out from some corner, brandishing war hammers and rushing towards the snake warriors who had not yet reacted. Although the knights of England on foot wore plate armor, due to the small size of the human body, these Sunrise Warriors were still more agile than the Snake Warriors, even if they became heavy infantry, so the Soldiers who launched the charge and the Sunset Soldiers could always hit the Snake Warrior in the arm with a hammer before the Snake Warrior waved his hand.
Although the war hammer cannot directly cut through the body of the snake warrior, it can cause a powerful blunt blow to its body, which can completely damage the meridians of the enemy while shattering the enemy's bones after hitting the enemy's body, causing the hit part to lose consciousness in a short time, so the war hammer in the hands of the knight of walking England can completely abolish the hands of the snake warrior in a short time after hitting the arms of the snake warrior.
People can't pick up arms to fight when they lose feeling in their hands, let alone these snake warriors who need to rely on their hands to fight. And after losing his hands, what kind of combat power can this snake warrior have? Do you want snake warriors to fight with their teeth?
In less than 1 minute, the soldiers who never set the sun solved all the dozens of snake warriors in front of them, and the previous screams were estimated to have attracted the snake warriors nearby, but these soldiers who did not set the sun did not show the slightest panic, but after making up a few hammers on some snake warriors who had not yet lost their breath, they scattered and fled under the leadership of the officers who led the sunset, and then found some nearby wall holes and slipped directly into them, and disappeared directly into this street.
"It seems that the tactics will indeed have a surprising effect! It seems that I am clumsy, the captain of the reconnaissance team who graduated from the Royal Military Academy on which the sun never sets is not a mediocre talent!? Listening to the screams of snake warriors coming from the dense alleys in front of the inner city, Leo's face finally showed a hint of joy: "Then the battlefield of those Xiyi warriors......... Hey? What is that? ”
Just as Leo shifted his gaze to the battlefield of the Xiyi warriors, he found that many moving figures appeared in the underground tunnel marked by him before: "Reinforcements, are they coming so soon?" (To be continued.) )
