Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 950 Jinghu Battle (2)

Step on!Step on!The 1,000 Clay fighters galloped on their horses. As soon as they entered the range, they bent their bows and shot arrows, launching an attack on the Imperial Expeditionary Army that was standing in the camp.However, the camp was extremely quiet. Even if they suffered a intensive rain of arrows, the soldiers of the Imperial Expeditionary Army still chose to raise their shields, but there was no sign of counterattack.

The 1,000 Clay fighters quickly rushed into the distance of less than 100 meters from the Imperial Expeditionary Force. The leader of the team immediately issued a whistle, turned his horse’s head and ran to the side. The Clay fighters behind him naturally He also followed the leader and circled a big circle away from the expeditionary camp and escaped from the battle.

Chief Abdul, who sits in the Central Army, remained calm. He has sent four such teams to test his opponents, but the opponents still remain calm. This performance did not surprise Chief Abdul. After all, if the opponent is very impulsive, it is impossible to choose to stay in the camp, but to lead the troops directly into the battle.

Chief Abdul thought for a while and decided to launch a strong attack. He waved his hand and said to the messenger who had been waiting next to the car: Let Daoud lead the team directly attack the opponent’s camp, Rabib led the charge. Remote support!The messenger immediately ran a few steps and turned on his horse, but Kailim, who was next to Chief Abdul, was slightly taken aback. He knew that Daoud's subordinates were all herdsmen over 50 years old. Obviously the Chief was prepared. The road to victory is piled up with human lives.

Chief Abdul’s order was quickly passed on. On the left side of the entire Clay’s position, Daoud, who had been waiting there, would immediately take the lead to launch an attack. The gap left by their troops was It was quickly filled with troops behind.Daoud led his troops to a stop 2 kilometers away from the camp of the expeditionary force. He successively ordered his subordinates to prepare for attack.

At this time, a team also ran out from the right wing of the Clay position. Obviously this was the army commanded by Rabib. This regular army of the Clay quickly came behind Daoud. But instead of taking out their bows and arrows, they drew out their scimitars one after another. Obviously, the so-called long-range support is probably the only way to supervise the battle.

Dawood naturally understood the task that the fellow robes behind him had undertaken. He gave a wry smile, drew out his machete, and then yelled loudly: It’s time to dedicate himself to the true God, brothers, follow me Rush!Before he finished his words, Daoud was already riding his horse forward. His 10,000-year-old herder subordinates naturally pulled out their weapons and followed Daoud closely.

The distance of 2 kilometers is not far, but if the horse runs wildly at the beginning, the horses of these herdsmen will have little strength when running in front of the opponent, so Daoud is very experienced in controlling the speed of the horse.According to the information provided by the Samil who failed the night attack, the expeditionary army's bow and arrow can reach a range of more than 1,000 meters, which is why Daoud must first form a team at a distance of 2 kilometers.

During the first one kilometer journey, Dawood basically just manipulated his hip horses to jog with broken steps, which was regarded as warming up the horses, and at the same time he kept yelling in his mouth to keep the herdsmen in line as much as possible.After reaching Ude and leading his troops into the expeditionary range, he immediately began to speed up the horses, and at the same time began to order the entire team to disperse and advance toward the enemy in a loose formation to minimize the damage caused by the enemy's bow and arrow.

Experienced commanders can naturally distinguish whether the opponent is deliberately probing or attacking with full force. Therefore, when the Daoude of the Clay tribe entered the range of 100 meters from the expeditionary camp, Thomas, who was hidden in the camp, gave the order to shoot. , 5,000 crossbow archers immediately flattened the crossbow in their hands and pulled the launching mechanism.At such a close distance, as long as the crossbow arrow is slightly aimed at the target when it is launched, it is impossible to miss the shot, and the unprotected body of the Clay herdsmen is even less able to block the penetrating crossbow arrow, which is often a crossbow arrow. It will stop flying after 3 or 4 people are penetrated.

The Clay herdsmen who hit the arrow fell off their horses one after another. Even if they were lucky enough not to be shot to death by the crossbow arrows, they would be trampled to death by their galloping companions behind them. However, such casualties would not affect the morale of the Clay. What impact did it have? In their view, dedicating to the true god on the battlefield is the most glorious thing, not to mention the generous amount of compassion promised by Chief Abdul.Inspired by faith and materials, and in the hope of a better life for future generations, these 10,000 Clay herders crazily attacked the camp of the expeditionary army with the belief that they must die.

Thomas and his subordinates in the camp of the expeditionary army kept repeating their work. They were divided into 5 rows. The first row immediately stepped back from the gap after the shooting and came to the last row of the entire queue to reinstall. Crossbow arrows, while the archer in the second row moves forward a few steps, the crossbow in the flat-end hand is fired...After the archer in the fifth row finishes firing, the crossbow archer in the first row is ready to start the second round. Launched.The charge of the Clay herdsmen on the opposite side seemed amazing, but it did not have any impact on Thomas’ shooters, because they were well-trained fighters, the most elite fighters in the entire imperial capital. In order to wait for this day of revenge, They practiced repeatedly in the past 4 years.Thomas was confident that even if he led an attack on the prairie, he could still block the enemy's attack as long as the number of people on the two sides was small.What's more, now protecting in front of these crossbow shooters are their colleagues, the phalanx fighters of the Jonas Legion.

More than a dozen rounds of shooting have wiped out the entire Daoud army of the Clay tribe, but the Daoud herdsmen who rushed to the forefront were already less than 20 meters away from the expeditionary camp. All this was seen by Chief Abdul. In his eyes, he nodded slightly and gave the order to continue the attack.The left wing of the Clay position moved again, and more Clay herders came to the front of the two armies. Their leader, like Daoud, slowly sorted out the formation, and then launched it without hesitation. Charged.

The only difference from the last time is that this time the Lebib Division, who was originally in charge of overseeing the battle, also joined the assault sequence. The 20,000 Clay herders in front of them will attract these excellent fighters to the enemy as much as possible. Long-range firepower so that they can rush into the enemy camp.After seeing the Clay clan launching a real attack, Colin's longbowmen were also ordered to join the battle. Their range of 1,000 meters was enough to share the pressure of Thomas and the others.

The war drums all over the sky rang, countless Clay warriors frantically screamed the names of the true god and Chief Abdul, brandishing their scimitars and rushing towards the expedition camp, and they were greeted by arrows capable of shielding the sun from the sky. Rain, the battle of Jinghu entered the most intense moment.

When the fighting broke out on the Uranus Ranch and entered the fiercest, Ryan stood on the south bank of the Jinghu Lake and looked at the calm water helplessly.The name of Jinghu Lake is indeed appropriate. Ryan can even see his reflection through the clear water. The reflection is so clear that Ryan can even see every pattern on his clothes from the reflection.

"Pop!" A small stone was thrown into the lake water, and the calm of the lake water was also broken. Ryan's reflection naturally became fragmented when the lake water rippled.Roger's hateful voice came from behind Ryan: "Damn it, it was blocked by this lake!"

Ryan smiled. He turned around and gave the order to take a break. The order was soon passed. The captains of the Windrunner Army arranged for their subordinates to rest, eat, and sent out scouts. Of course Ryan did not do this trivial matter. Will ask, after slowly eating a little bit of food, he sat on a rock on the shore of Jinghu Lake and waited silently.

About 30 minutes later, the four scouts who released the road to investigate all returned, but what they brought back was unfortunate news: a fierce battle had taken place in the Ulanos Ranch to the east, and the Clay scouts released a dozen. Kilometers, it’s impossible for Ryan and the others to go around the east of Jinghu Lake without alerting the scouts, and the scouts in charge of investigating the west of Jinghu Lake were even more frustrated. They galloped for more than 30 minutes and still couldn’t see Jinghu. At the end of, according to the information obtained before, the shape of Jinghu Lake is a long and flat shape, and Ryan and the others are just on the east side of the south bank of Jinghu Lake. If they plan to detour from the west to the Clay camp, I’m afraid they will have to More than 4 hours.It's just around noon now. If you go around, let alone the lack of combat power, you will probably hit the main force of the Clay clan who is returning to the camp.

After listening to the reports from his subordinates, Ryan just smiled faintly, but there was no negative emotions such as frustration or anger. He gave a few words to let the Fengxing Archer Army gather.But within 5 minutes, 4,500 well-trained popular shooters had already stood in front of Ryan.

Ryan first looked around and let his eyes flow from the faces of every popular shooter. After seeing that his subordinates were still maintaining high morale, Ryan smiled in satisfaction and said loudly: "Very good, I'm very satisfied. Your instructor, Mr. Ceres, did not disappoint me."

After hearing the praise from Lord Lord, Feng Xing Archer still maintained his composure on his face. This made Ryan renewed satisfaction. Only such a soldier like an army could create the myth of invincibility.Ryan thought for a while and continued: "I think everyone is very clear about the current situation between the Imperial Capital and Cassano. For the future of Cassano, we must defeat the Clay clan, otherwise no matter if we go north to regain the lost ground occupied by the orcs. Or going south to recover the old debts owed by the Freedom Alliance will leave a huge hidden danger behind."
