Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

The archers of the Kle clan have opened the bowstring 20 times in a row, which means that the 5000 archers have fired a total of 100,000 sharp feather arrows, but in front of the shield wall of the phalanx of the Jonas Legion. The arrow rain attack of the Lai tribe didn't achieve any effect at all, which could only waste the strength of the Clay tribe's archer.

Of course, the commander of the Clay Clan Samil could not know what the result of his arrow rain had caused, because he could not check it up close, but if the Imperial Expeditionary Army suffered heavy losses under his arrow rain, the whole The camp of the expeditionary force might have become chaotic long ago.

At present, what Semir sees is that the expeditionary camp a few kilometers away is still quiet. This effect can usually be achieved in fierce battles. One is that all the enemies are killed. This result is obviously It will not be expected, so it can only be another result: the opponents are strictly disciplined, and their attacks cannot make them fearful at all.

Since the second wave of attacks were also invalid, Symir simply ordered the stop of this offensive. He transferred the already fatigued shooters away, and mobilized an additional 3,000 new troops, but this time the positions of these shooters were a bit strange.Usually the archers will line up in several rows, so shooting in a row, it is easy to form a continuous offensive, and the landing points of the arrows will be closer, but now these archers are standing in a big The semi-circular shape vaguely surrounded the camp of the Imperial Expeditionary Army.

Several carriages galloped over, and the big black barrels were lifted down. Then one soldier pulled off the stopper at the bottom of the barrel and began to push it along in front of the standing archer.At the place where the big wooden barrel rolled over, a black viscous liquid slowly flowed out, and even the vibrant green grass in summer was only stuck together by this black viscous liquid.

Several Clay fighters waited until the barrel rolled over, and immediately threw the torch on the black viscous liquid, and the liquid immediately burned, and quickly formed three semicircular grams. In front of the Lai archers, there was a blazing flame.

"Ignite!" Following Semir's order, these 3000 Clay shooters leaned their hands on the linen-bound arrows on the flames. The linen was already soaked with kerosene, and as soon as it was ignited, Of course it burned violently immediately

"Shoot indiscriminately, let go!" After the attack order was issued, the 3000 Clay archers immediately released the fire arrows in their hands. Although the number of people now is much smaller than before, there are rows of whistling flying in the sky. The meteors make people feel more oppressive.

After seeing the fire attack adopted by the Clays, the Sergey Infantry commander of the Jonas Legion continued to maintain the shield wall defense. In fact, in terms of the attack power of the arrows, the ordinary feather arrows are better than this kind of ignited arrows. The fire arrow is much stronger, but the burning arrow can easily ignite the combustible near the target, causing a raging fire.

The phalanx infantry of the Jonas Legion are all composed of sword and shield fighters and spear fighters. The strong shield made of metal is naturally not combustible, so the fire arrow is not a big threat to these fighters, but Sergey’s infantry is after all In fact, in the camp of the expeditionary army, even though thousands of people are arranged in a dense formation, they still have contact with combustible materials such as tents, and the wooden horses on the outside can also burn, so the fire eventually Still ignited.

Although it is only midsummer, the weather tonight is a bit gloomy, and the wind is not too small. The burning fire spread rapidly with the help of the wind, and soon turned into a sea of ​​fire, and Jonas was in the sea of ​​fire. Legion soldiers will inevitably be affected. No matter how tough their will is, they must obey their own physique. When their arms are swallowed by flames, no amount of light shields can be lifted.

When a person is exposed to a rain of arrows, he will naturally die quickly, and his comrades who were protected by his shield will also be exposed to enemy attacks and die.At this point in the war, there were finally minor casualties on the Jonas Legion. The commanding Sergey Infantry Commander hid under the shield and shouted aloud, while constantly inspiring his subordinates to maintain the morale of the soldiers. Fortunately, this critical situation lasted for a few minutes, and soon Jonas’s messenger brought new instructions to make Sergey’s 5000 fighters retreat 100 meters and re-arrange.

Sergey's cursing command and slowly stepped back. This group of emperor's most elite fighters maintained the tightest formation at all times, which made the arrows of the Clays helpless, and naturally there was nothing. Too many casualties.After Sergey and the others re-lined and counted the numbers, they still found that more than 200 comrades had failed to return to the team. Obviously, they were all killed.

This is also the second time that the expeditionary force has suffered casualties. Although Sergey was angry, he was helpless, because Jonas had issued a strict order tonight, and he could only defend but not attack.Originally, when the Jonas Army encountered such a situation, it could also use large ballistas or even a stone dump truck. Unfortunately, because it was an expedition to the prairie, all the heavy equipment was loaded with grain and grass, and they did not carry such heavy equipment.

Of course, Sergey's retreat has brought another problem, which is to expose Orlando and Ryan to the front line.Although this lookout is not on the route of Sergei and their marching, but now this camp is on fire, Orlando and Ryan standing on the high platform are very eye-catching. There are already long Clay archers on the handles. The bow was aimed in the direction of the observation deck, but because the Clay archer’s longbow had a range of about 800 meters, they were about this number from the original Sergei position. Now they want to shoot at the observation deck that is nearly 900 meters away. And when the fire arrow is still used, there is no way to guarantee the accuracy.

Orlando didn’t care about this. He was still interested in watching the attack of the Clay clan. With his strength, of course, he could feel how the Clay clan commander on the opposite side arranged the formation. The 3,000 shooters used fire arrows. Shooting is a trap in itself, because not far behind these shooters are their horses, and on their two wings, there are thousands of soldiers who are ready to ride on horses waiting for the expeditionary force to attack.

Now the Clays’ night attacks have carried out three waves of offensives. Generally speaking, the Clays killed 3,000 people. The expeditionary army only sacrificed hundreds of them. However, they lost a small part of the camp. The victory and defeat can only be regarded as equal. That's it.For the Clay people, they came all the way to lure the expeditionary army out of the camp, and then use their familiarity with the terrain to divide and destroy them. Now they just set it on fire, which is obviously not enough.For the expeditionary force, tonight is just a defensive battle, and it will not attack in any case, otherwise the attacking troops will be sent into the enemy ambush circle because of their unfamiliarity with the terrain.
