Lord of Riders

Chapter 245: Majesty of the Iron Horse

After receiving the order, the cavalry of the Shao Ming Kingdom rushed to these advancing enemy forces quickly. They were obviously stunned by the powerful crossbow of the Shao Ming Kingdom, and regardless of the threat of the cavalry, they had to fight fiercely with the crossbow troops.

The crossbowmen of the Shao Ming Kingdom fired in batches, which can still pose a huge threat to these prominent Nord infantry.

Especially the Nord infantry who approached Shao Ming's crossbowmen, their shields couldn't stop the penetration of Shao Ming's crossbow.

Crossbow bolts can easily penetrate their shields and then shoot through their bodies. Leaving me was like penetrating a piece of paper, and they fell.

While the heavy crossbows were ruthlessly harvesting the lives of Nord soldiers, the tens of thousands of cavalry in the Shao Ming Kingdom also cut off their retreat, and a round of cavalry charged directly, and the Nord soldiers in the rear were quickly caught by these cavalry under Shao Yu's men. Chopped.

Then the cavalry from behind and on both sides, like two ropes, first sandwiched them in the middle, and then stirred them to shatter their formation. Then, the massacre began.

When the Nord soldiers rushed out of the city gate, there were 1,600 casualties. The remaining infantrymen simply couldn't deal with such a large-scale cavalry attack from the Shao Ming Kingdom.

The Moknife knights wielded Moknife and kept splitting the Nord infantry in half.

"Damn it, close the city gate! Don't let the enemy in!" Lord Rogerson saw that the infantry was blocked by the opposing cavalry, and quickly ordered.

It would be troublesome if the opponent took the opportunity to enter the city.

"My lord, what should we do with those soldiers, we can't save them, so they will definitely die," the adjutant said quickly.

"They are dead, close the door!" Lord Rogerson shouted resolutely, and at the same time looked at the adjutant, his eyes were full of anger.

"Yes, my lord!" The adjutant did not dare to say more, and quickly sent an order to close the door.

A few guarding soldiers immediately pushed the door together and closed the city gate.

When the Nord soldiers outside saw it, they fell into deep despair.

They were abandoned, a dead end.

The soldiers became more confused, or that they directly lost the courage to resist, and completely lost the will to resist.

The panicked Nord soldiers immediately became a group of cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Although there are still many soldiers who continue to resist, they have no effect.

The cavalry sprinted back and forth, and within an hour's time, these Nord soldiers were slaughtered by the Cavalry of the Shao Ming Kingdom.

"How many enemies are there?" Shao Yu asked

"The enemy has killed or wounded tens of thousands of soldiers, and it is estimated that there are more than 20,000 people," Kane replied

"Well, don't worry, order the crossbowmen to continue to advance me, and advance to a distance of fifty meters from the city wall! Continue shooting at the Nord soldiers."

Shao Yu Biography

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as the herald passed Shao Yu's instructions, the crossbowmen of the Shao Ming Kingdom moved forward again. This time it was closer to the city wall.

This is completely within the range of the Nord Archer

As soon as Lord Rogerson saw him, he immediately ordered the archer to return to the wall. Shoot at the crossbowmen of the Shao Ming Kingdom.

Although the archers of the Nordic garrison suffered a great loss before, there are still more than three thousand men who can continue to fight.

And there is the cover of the city wall, and now they are within their range and at a high place, so fighting the crossbowmen of the Shao Ming Kingdom can be considered a battle.

Soon, the archers of the Nord Kingdom returned to the wall again. Fire at the crossbowmen of the Shao Ming Kingdom.

But soon they discovered that they had some wrong ideas.

Within the distance of fifty meters, they were still not the opponents of Shao Ming Kingdom's crossbowmen at all.

The powerful crossbows of the Shao Ming Kingdom can shoot up to a range of 500 meters. At this distance of 50 meters, the power of these powerful crossbows can definitely be exerted to the extreme, and the accuracy is far more than that of the Nord archers. .

The Nord archers reluctantly mustered up the courage to shoot at the Shao Ming crossbowmen who had just caused them a lot of damage, but soon the courage disappeared again.

Many Nord archers were shot by several crossbow arrows just before they showed up to shoot.

The gap between the forces of the two sides is not generally large. The distance of 50 meters allows the crossbowmen of the Shao Ming Kingdom to accurately target their enemies. The hit rate is extremely high. In addition, they have many people aiming at the same target at the same time, so it is very It is easy to shoot and kill Nord soldiers who are attempting to attack.

Those Nord archers were beaten without the strength to fight back. Only to be killed. Even if it is hiding under a corner, it is not easy to escape the dense stream of arrows.

During the period of the Warring States and the Warring States period, the Korean military team relied on the crossbow troops to kill and wound the enemy from a distance. But once the opponent rushed in front of them, the crossbow would not be able to exert its power, only to be slaughtered.

But the army of the Shao Ming Kingdom did not worry about these problems.

The number of crossbowmen in the Shao Ming Kingdom is very large, accounting for almost one-third of the army. At the same time, these crossbowmen are also qualified infantry. Everyone has a shield, except that the ordinary infantry is equipped with a hook and sickle, and the crossbowmen are equipped with heavy crossbows, there is no other difference between the crossbowmen of the Shaoming Kingdom and the infantry.

This is like the archer troops of the ancient Persian Empire. The enemy rushed in front of them, drew the scimitar, and they became infantry again.

At the same time, Shao Yu also learned the echelon-style shooting method used by the Westerners' musket team, shooting layer by layer, forming a continuous fire suppression. Don't give the opponent a chance to get close.

Even if it can't stop the enemy, there are cavalry units standing by at any time.

Once the enemy breaks through the blocking of the crossbow arrow ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the cavalry will immediately support it, and then the infantry will follow up, so that the opponent's army still cannot threaten their crossbowmen.

Shao Yu is well aware of the important role of long-range weapons. Just like in ancient times, those nomads dealt with the infantry of the celestial dynasty, shooting from a distance, relying on the superiority of cavalry and shooting, the infantry could hardly injure them at all.

The Qin Empire was able to annex the six countries, and it has to be said that the Korean heavy crossbow that they learned to modify has a great effect. Of course, that is also dictated by national power.

The Shao Ming Kingdom now focuses on cultivating crossbow troops and consumes them far away.

This battle is well reflected.

The battle lasted for such a long time, and Nord soldiers suffered more than 10,000 casualties, but the soldiers of the Shao Ming Kingdom suffered no more than four to five hundred casualties. Although the archers of the Nord Kingdom also caused some casualties to the soldiers of the Shao Ming Kingdom, they had no effect on the situation of the battle.

The attack of the Nord infantry just now may bring some casualties to the Shao Ming Kingdom, but they themselves have lost their fighting morale, and they are not the opponents of the wolf-like heavy cavalry of the Shao Ming Kingdom. , There was no wave at all, and it was wiped out.
