Black Iron Crown

Chapter 146: Riding and shooting

   The sharp sound of arrows piercing the air resounded throughout the battlefield. Every lord had at least five archers serving in their army. After all, the forests of the north were everywhere, and the number of hunters was definitely not small.

   And the lords will certainly not waste the effective combat power on these battlefields in vain, so it is absolutely normal that there are many archers in the army.

   Of course, every lord’s army did not form a massive volley, and the arrows shot were sparse, which probably caused some morale blows and minor casualties to the enemy.

  Earl Zhebo’s lords led the army towards the hill guarded by the enemy. With the lessons learned before, the knights did not dismount their horses, but rode their horses to climb the mountain with difficulty.

  They are lucky. These hills are all small heights no more than 20 meters in height, and the **** is not very steep, so they can still climb on horses, otherwise the horses won’t be able to climb at all.

   Arrow strikes did not produce very good results. After all, these archers used only hunting bows, and the arrows were just ordinary arrows.

   It is obviously not an easy task to penetrate most of the soldiers in the iron armor of the northern lords.

   The armor rate of their soldiers can almost reach 40% to 50%. This is because a large amount of steel is sold every year. Otherwise, it is not impossible to make all the soldiers wear iron armor.

   Count Zhebo did not stay still, he brought his own army and the army of his vassals, and some lords who had taken refuge in him followed him.

They stared at the direction where Leiner was. There was only Leiner’s army. The other lords and the armies were all separated to deal with other enemies. Count Zhebo wanted this effect, so he moved the others directly. Siege Lena.

   He felt that as long as Rainer's army was defeated, the war would be won.

Standing on the small high platform, Rainer looked at the enemy who was walking towards him, and saw that there were about two thousand people in them. They were in a scattered formation, and they were advancing chaotically. The formation that was barely maintained when standing still was also thorough. Messed up.

Seeing the other party roaring, the tension in Lena's heart eased slightly, but he was still full of worry. After all, there were more than two thousand people, not two thousand pigs. Even if two thousand pigs rushed over together, that would be the case. Extremely scary.

   licked his lips, and Reiner gave the order: "The sergeants are in front of the phalanx and are ready to fight!"

  "Armed soldiers guard against sneak attacks on both sides of the sergeant!!

   "The militia and armed soldiers strengthen the flank forces together!"

   "Winter crossbowmen and archers are in the back, ready to shoot!"

   "The knights are ready to charge on the left side of the formation!"

   One by one orders came out of Rainer's mouth, and the commanders of each team ran back to their teams and followed Rainer's orders in an orderly manner to dispatch troops.

   "What about me? Brother?" Little Wend jumped up beside Lenner and asked Lenner on the small platform.

   Although he had some fear of the terrifying number of enemies at the beginning, he was quickly dazzled by the blood in his heart, and he hoped that he could rush to the battlefield with the army.

   "Shut your mouth!" Rainer yelled at Little Wende impatiently, and frightened him to silence.

  Rainer felt his heart beating extremely fast, the sound of thumping and thumping seemed to rush into his mind, and even waves of blood poured into his mind.

   Little Wende aggrieved and quieted down beside him. He thought he really had a chance to go to the battlefield, and now...

   He lowered his head with a frown, and then quietly glanced at Renner, and found that his brother's gaze was not on his body at all, and he couldn't help showing a different expression on his face.

   tiptoedly left the small high platform, he secretly rode on his horse **** and unknowingly got into the last position of the knights.

  Leiner had no idea what little Wende did. He was staring at the enemy ahead intently at this time.

Count Zhebo walked in the middle of the team, and his vassals’ knights also gathered to accompany him. It seemed that there were about eighty people, everyone was fully armed, and the lance in his hand was slowly pointed at the sky. Forward.

   Obviously, Earl Zhebo did not intend to put the knights into the battle for the first time. Perhaps he wanted to use the knights as a killer.

The warm wind blew the ground lightly, blowing the pennants on the knights' lances slightly. The distance between the two armies had been compressed to more than 300 meters. The Winter crossbowmen cheered up. Once they were shot Order, they will immediately fire crossbow bolts.

   Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, gradually changing from the size of a bean to the size of a human head, Rainer gave his first order.

   "Senior horse archer! Send out twenty people to launch the first wave of harassment against the enemy!" Reiner said: "Remember your fighting style! Disturb the enemy! Slow them down, you must cause yourself casualties!"

   A senior horse archer wearing a better armor nodded. He is the sergeant of these thirty senior horse archers~lightnovelpub.net~ The soldiers will complete Reiner's orders under his leadership.

  Rainer took a deep breath, his own war... officially began...

   The horse archers moved very quickly, and they left the formation without hindrance. The prairie horse, which was slightly lower than the normal horses, opened the hooves and ran wildly.

   A cloud of smoke was rolled up on the dry land, and the horse archers galloped towards the enemy in front of them like a sharp, off-string arrow.

   "Ha! This Earl Rainer is not stupid, right?"

   A vassal next to Earl Zhebo was very happy. In his opinion, it was crazy to send out twenty eccentrically dressed "rebels" to attack the army of thousands of people on his side.

  Perhaps... There is really something wrong with this Baron Reiner's brain, maybe...

   But in the next second, his smile stopped.

   I saw the veteran horse archers who were about to knock down the torrent of a boulder to their extreme horse speed. The situation stopped for a moment, and they turned a corner with extreme agility and turned back.

   At this time, the senior horse archer in the front was only a dozen meters away from their soldiers, and it only took a second or two to rush into the camp. The soldiers who had already stopped to tighten their muscles were dumbfounded.

But in the next second, the riding archers took their sophisticated short riding bows from the saddles with extremely rapid movements, and took out an arrow from the quiver and placed it on the bowstring. There were twenty in an instant. The arrow flew towards the crowd.

   Arrow sank into the crowd, and only heard a screaming sound. Several soldiers suddenly screamed, and several people even lay on the ground and rolled continuously.

   A round of shooting resulted in more than a dozen injuries and three or four deaths, which is pretty good.
