"Walk forward!"

At 11:30 a.m. on May 5, the Centurions, armed with crossbows, spears, and kite-shaped shields, rushed to the Ottoman Imperial City under the cover of weeds.

A distance of more than 17 miles was nothing for the cavalry, but the premise was that the cavalry was riding on war horses. Obviously, due to the fact that the former Ottoman Minister of War Hill had planted poison on all the pastures in the Ottoman Empire's inner territory to deal with animal husbandry, it was impossible for the cavalry troops on which the sun never set to enter the Ottoman Empire on war horses for at least more than one year.

Because of this, the journey of more than 17 miles was extremely difficult for these Sunset soldiers, especially those Cuman soldiers, who were going to storm the walls of the Ottoman Imperial City before the end of the Ottoman soldiers' lunch: the Sunset Auxiliary Cavalry was easy to say, after all, these soldiers from the various ruling areas of the Sunset Empire were all knightly squires or conscripted spearmen who had been trained by shield spearmen, and the long distance on foot did not have much impact on the auxiliary cavalry, which could also fight below.

But the Cumans are different, the Cumans are a people on horseback, and everyone in the Cuman people has lived on horseback since they spent their infancy in their lives, and even sometimes they even sleep and eat on the strong Cuman horses, which has created the Cumans' exquisite riding and archery skills, but also made the Cumans live on horseback for a long time, the original straight legs have become O-shaped legs. This leg type can allow the Cuman soldiers to gallop under their crotch when the war horse gallops, just like they usually sit on a chair, but this leg shape is extremely unfavorable for walking on the ground, and it is not conducive to running, which is also why most of the nomadic soldiers are super first-class cavalry, first-class archers but they are all infantry, not that the melee ability of the nomadic soldiers is not strong, but because the leg shape of the nomadic soldiers is not strong after the war horse, I can't play 1/4 of the saber in my hand at all.

Therefore, the long-distance run of 17 miles is simply worse than death for the Cuman soldiers, and fortunately, there is a sunset walking auxiliary cavalry as the vanguard before them, otherwise even if these Cuman soldiers can reach the battlefield outside the imperial city on time, these tired Cuman soldiers who can't move their fingers at all will not be able to shoot arrows at the city wall, and not only that, they are also very likely to become a live target for those city defense equipment on the Ottoman imperial city.

"Enemy attack!" Although the weeds outside the city grew wildly day and night, Nuhar also sent a certain number of soldiers out of the city every day to clear the weeds in the surrounding areas outside the city, so the crazy growth of grass outside the Ottoman city did not provide long-term concealment for the soldiers who never set the sun, and when the auxiliary cavalry carried the Mo forging crossbow and advanced to 500 meters of the Ottoman city wall in a straggler, the Ottoman soldiers guarding the city wall in the distance found the traces of the soldiers who never set, and the shouts and horns of the Ottoman soldiers, Alarm bells and so on rang at about the same time.

The best range of the Mo Forging Crossbow is 140 meters, and because the Ottomans have that 20-meter-high Ottoman Imperial City wall, the best range of the Mo Forging Crossbow must be advanced 30 meters again, that is, about 100 meters away from the Ottoman City Wall, and the area of 150 meters in front of the Ottoman Imperial City Wall is usually a place that the Ottoman weeding soldiers must deal with every day, that is to say, when the auxiliary cavalry will attack the city wall from the grass, There will be at least 50 meters or so where Ottoman soldiers can shoot with ranged weapons, and the auxiliary cavalry that never sets will have to pass through this 50-meter death zone to throw arrows at the Ottoman soldiers on the walls.

Fortunately, the time chosen for the attack was the time when the Ottomans ate, although the Ottomans divided the defending troops into two groups to eat in turn, so that there were still many Ottoman soldiers guarding the city wall at this time, but for the Mo forging crossbow in the hands of the auxiliary cavalry, these people could still afford it. Don't look at the Mo Forged Crossbow of the Great Empire where the sun never sets, it is used to have the characteristics of slow crossbow loading, which makes it impossible for the crossbowmen who never set the sun to exert a powerful "regional suppression" ability like the longbow troops, but the powerful power of the Mo Forged Crossbow makes up for all this as long as the heavy arrow is either dead or wounded.

For example, because the ranged infantry on the Ottoman side were García men with crossbows, the ranged soldiers on the Ottoman side had an effective range of only 110 meters even if they had the help of the city walls; For example, about half of the engineers on the Ottoman side were not on duty, and finally the soldiers on the side where the sun never set spent hundreds of corpses in the process of attacking, so that the members of the auxiliary cavalry advanced to the best range and effective range of the Mo forged crossbow, and poured a rain of arrows on the Ottoman city wall.

Most of the arrows fired by the Mo Forging Crossbow were used by the auxiliary cavalry on the side of the sun to throw the Mo Forging Crossbow in their hands, so that the crossbow arrows were tilted vertically from the air to the Ottoman soldiers above the city wall. Although it was less powerful, it was better to be able to shoot the Ottoman soldiers who ran and fought on the walls.

And it didn't take long for groups of Cumen soldiers armed with powerful compound bows to join the battlefield, these Cumen soldiers may not be able to compare with the Reykya archers who also hold a strong compound bow in terms of melee ability, but the ships equipped with them are not fish scale armor or inlaid armor, but plate armor, but these Cuman soldiers are still remarkable in archery when using strong compound bows. And in terms of killing the Ottoman soldiers behind the battlements of the Ottoman Imperial City, it is more suitable for throwing powerful compound bowsObviously, the auxiliary cavalry equipped with the Mo forging crossbow is not equipped with a steel tower shield behind the back like the sun does not set the giant shield crossbowmen, and not to mention that the arrows of the sun never setting giant shield crossbowmen are much better than these Sun never setting auxiliary cavalry equipped with Mo forging crossbows, so as the weapon of the best siege ranged troops of the sun never sets: the Mo forging crossbow used by the sun never setting giant shield crossbowmen In this war, It is almost incomparable to a powerful compound bow that is one order lower than the Purple Shirt Longbow on which the sun never sets.

At this time, when the army of foot archers launched a strong attack on the Ottoman city wall, the siege equipment army that Sun Lin had high hopes for was only less than half a day away from the designated projectile point, and the large army of sunset foot was still 2 or 3 days away from this place.
