Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

If this kind of stalemate continues, it will be detrimental to the Clay clan, because the darkness will pass sooner or later. Without the protection of the night, the Clay clan attacking tonight will expose the shortcomings of their lack of strength, and the imperial capital will expedition The army can make a big move. Although their riding skills are not as good as their own, the 20,000 or 30,000 they bring is still enough to offset the mobility of the Clay cavalry. When the time comes, the raid will become a war of attrition. Annihilated.

The Clay commander Samil looked up at the still gloomy sky and issued the fourth order tonight. The 6000 Clay fighters were divided into two teams, and they went to both sides of the expeditionary camp. They kept a distance of about 300 meters from the expeditionary camp, and then controlled the horses to run slowly.

After all the fighters entered the attack range, these Clay fighters, who had lived on horseback since they were young, took out short bows and started pouring feather arrows toward the camp of the expeditionary army.Shooting on the back of a Mercedes-Benz horse is naturally much worse because of the bumps. It's just that 3000 people shoot together, and they shoot at a fixed target, which is not a big problem.

The chaotic and crisp sound of horseshoes seemed particularly clear in the silent late night. The Clay fighters who were ordered to shoot around the Imperial Expeditionary Army camp under the leadership of their captains methodically fired towards the target 300 meters away, that was long and sharp. The arrows fly to the target mercilessly, penetrating everything they can penetrate.

I don't know who shot the feather arrow that happened to hit the temporary stables of the Imperial Expeditionary Army. The feather arrow went directly into the head of a war horse, and the war horse immediately screamed and fell to the ground.Immediately afterwards, another feather arrow penetrated the tent and shot into the stable, but this time it was just scratched from the ear of another war horse, leaving a long blood mark on the head of this war horse.

The horse was shocked and painful, and of course it would instinctively struggle desperately, and soon broke the rein that was tied to it.After losing the restraint, the injured horse jumped wildly, rushed out of the temporary stable, and brought down most of the tent, and the shocking horse that ran out caused a little chaos in the camp of the expeditionary army.

The few Clay fighters who caused this result were trying to approach the camp of the Imperial Expeditionary Army with their horses in order to obtain better results. However, their team leader shouted loudly to order them to keep their original state and move forward, because the Imperial Capital The appearance of the expeditionary army is too abnormal. Even if a war horse is frightened and scurrying around in the camp, it is quickly killed directly, and the entire camp still remains calm.

The Clay fighters galloping outside the expeditionary camp continued to keep their rhythm running and shooting, but only ten minutes later, they met on the east side of the expeditionary camp.In order to bend their bows and shoot arrows, the Clay warriors use a loose formation. There is a distance of 4 to 5 meters between each warrior. This wide distance is enough for another Clay warrior to ride through it. So this The leaders of the two teams of Clay warriors had no intention of turning around or forming the team. They sent out a series of whistles directly in their mouths and greeted them with their men on the opposite side. Obviously they were going directly from the opposite team. Go through neutral.

Even during the day when the sight is good, this kind of crossing is not easy, not to mention that it is dark and late at night, but these Clay warriors have grown up on horseback since they were young. It is easy to say, because every Clay warrior is extremely relaxed.

The two captains of this team are naturally familiar with each other. They ran at the forefront of the team, and at the same time they drew their scimitars, and began to stagger through the two opposing teams, rubbing shoulders with their companions. After a while, the two captains slammed their opponent's weapons with the backs of the scimitars in their hands to show their respect.

The trill sound of the scimitars after they strike each other is extremely clear at night, even the crisp sound of horseshoes cannot cover its spread. Unexpectedly, after the crisp percussion, there is a little bit in the sky. Depressed whistling sound.The two captains who were commanding their subordinates with whistles were suddenly shocked. Of course, they understood what this whistling sound meant, so the two captains no longer had the complacency they had before, and instead shouted with all their strength: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Disperse immediately! Disperse immediately!"

When the two captains yelled, the two teams of Clay fighters with a total of 6000 people happened to overlap each other. The original loose formation also turned into a tight formation at this moment. Hearing the captain’s order and passing through the sky After the slightly suppressed howling, these fighters immediately began to evade, only to find that there was not much space around for them to move around.

"Woo!" A large black cloud whizzed down from right in front of the Clay warriors. All the Clay warriors who saw this scene were as gray as their faces. Some of them ran away desperately, but hit their companions. On the body, both fell to the ground, and some waved the scimitar desperately, reacting instinctively.

When this fast-flying "black cloud" turned into "pouring rain" and poured down on these Clay fighters, the Clay fighters finally saw clearly that the "black cloud" was composed of countless thick branches. And short crossbow arrows.The range of the arrow fired by this hand crossbow is not very long, but its penetrating power is very strong. It can even penetrate the mail at a close range of one or two hundred meters, not to mention the range of more than 300 meters. Passing through those Clay warriors who had almost no leather armor and the bodies of their hip horses.

"Ah!" The screams of screams one after another on the silent prairie, each crossbow arrow mercilessly penetrated the body of the Clay warrior and his hip horse, and continued to fly, if there were people on their trajectory. , It continued to penetrate the past, and finally stuck deeply on the ground diagonally.

"Huh!" Another black cloud came galloping in, and another heavy rain poured down. The archers of the Imperial Expeditionary Army who have been patient finally waited for the opportunity to vent their anger. Under the command of the archer commander Thomas, 5,000 The crossbow archer repeatedly pulled the mechanism of the crossbow and poured 200,000 crossbows onto the heads of the Clay fighters.

On the west side of the expeditionary camp, after the archer commander Thomas launched in Colin, he immediately commanded his longbow archers to attack the Clay archers who were still firing fire arrows outside the camp.Because the fighters of the Clay clan fire arrows, their range is only 800 meters at most, and Thomas’s men are the best archers in the capital. The long bows in their hands are enough to shoot more than 1000 meters. The difference in range is enough to determine the outcome of a battle.
