Looking at the bow and arrow range described by the soldiers, the lords were hesitant and asked the soldiers to come forward and try it out. A group of soldiers hid behind shields and cautiously stepped forward. When they entered the distance of a normal bow and arrow, they encountered no resistance. They continued to push forward, and when they were nearly two-thirds of the way, several arrows shot over. But although these arrows touched them, they had no strength and fell to the ground softly.
So those lords were convinced: the effective range of the enemy's bows and arrows was only two-thirds of that of ordinary bows and arrows.
"Although the rate of fire is fast, the power is not great. There is no need to be afraid! All troops, grab your shields and line up forward!"
Thus, the attack on the camp began.
The Alemannic federal soldiers holding shields rushed forward against the dense rain of arrows. Although the enemy's archers fire faster, due to their short range, the killing effect on them is not much higher than that of ordinary bows and arrows. Knowing this, they no longer fear. With an absolute advantage in numbers, they confidently rushed to the camp and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the defenders.
Glahid was sweating profusely and directing the battle on the camp. This camp was temporarily built and not strong, and its defensive effect was not even as good as Duke Otto's special vehicle formation. Under the fierce attack of the enemy, this place cannot last long.
He also holds a trump card. As the battle situation worsened, he tried to play this trump card in advance several times, but he gritted his teeth and endured it again and again.
Hole cards must be used in decisive situations.
His eyes looked at the enemy lords from time to time. As the victory of the war progressed, they got closer and closer to the walled city.
Finally, most of the lords were within an arrow's range!
Glahid threw the knife in his hand towards an enemy soldier. With his hands free, he took out the bow on his back in an instant and nocked an arrow. He spat a mouthful of blood on the ground and issued this order viciously: "The ban is lifted, let these Alemanni idiots see what the Chosen Archers are!"
For a long time nearly a quarter of Glahid's archers failed to fire an arrow. Grahid's infantry struggled to resist the enemy's attack, while the archers endured the pressure of the enemy's approach, using their trained eyes to find the enemy lord.
The positions of the more than ten lords have long been determined by the archers. With Glahid's order, the murderous intentions hidden in the hearts of the archers finally had a way to vent!
Glahid aimed at the lord who was walking in the front and shot an arrow. This arrow drove hundreds of arrows and flew toward the enemy lords overwhelmingly!
Glahid held four arrows in his right hand at the same time. One arrow was resting on the string, and the other two arrows were cocked upward under the grip of his hand. After the first arrow was shot, he just pressed his finger, and the second arrow in his hand was immediately nocked.
While the first arrow was flying in the air, Glahid had already shot the second arrow. The archers around Glahid were doing the same movements as Glahid. Their movements were slightly slower than Glahid's, but compared to ordinary archers, their speed was still extremely fast.
This is the secret to their rate of fire! The two-thirds range that the enemy thought was just a deliberate gesture to lure their lord closer.
In Grahid's army, only the most elite soldiers use bows and arrows. If the enemy's weapon is sheathed, the archers he trained can complete a series of actions in front of the enemy's three positions, including grabbing the bow, stringing the bow, aiming and shooting, and kill the enemy before the enemy's weapon hits them!
One of the two lords that Glahid was targeting was in the middle, and the other was far away on the left. But these four arrows hit the left and right eyes of the two lords exactly. The archers around him were not that accurate, but under several rounds of shooting from nearly a hundred archers, four more lords were unfortunately injured by arrows, and the guards around the lords suffered countless casualties.
This wave of blows injured half of the enemy's lords.
The remaining six lords were frightened - dozens of arrows had just passed by each of them. The guards beside them hurriedly protected them with shields and led them back.
Glahid watched them retreat with cold eyes. The Lords who had not been hit by the arrows retreated to one and a half arrow ranges, and then finally took a breath and relaxed.
Glahid made the archers lower their bows.
Then, I picked up another bow!
"Show these rubes what an English longbow is!"
The English longbow is a powerful bow brought by Glahid from England. It has a fast shooting speed and a long range. In addition to spending more time cultivating archers, it has every advantage over ordinary bows.
One and a half strokes, and that's for an ordinary bow, not an English longbow!
Those lords never dreamed that they would be hit by bows and arrows at this distance, and they were completely unprepared. Although the power of bows and arrows was greatly weakened at this distance, three more lords were injured and fell to the ground after this wave of bows and arrows.
Whenever these lords and soldiers charge together, Glahid cannot tell them apart from the soldiers at a glance. But they just hid behind the few people.
Even if they just hide behind, there are also quite a few lords who are taking command. But they were seduced by Glahid and ran into the range of the longbow without knowing it.
At this time, of the twelve lords, two were dead and seven were wounded, and only three were still alive and kicking.
This weird bow and arrow range made the remaining three lords run towards the lower part of the highland in a panic.
Glahid set up his bow again.
The lords were already two arrows away, and even the English longbow had no lethality at this distance.
Glahid shot the arrow again.
The arrow seemed to have eyes. It inserted through the gap in a lord's armor and stabbed him lightly.
And this was enough to scare the lord who was hit by the arrow for half his life.
The retreat of the lords severely damaged the morale of the soldiers. They began to flee with the lord.
Suddenly, an army from the Pirate Kingdom appeared under the high ground. It was the army of "Hair King" Harald. He had been watching the dynamics of the battlefield. When he noticed that the soldiers of the Alemanni Federation were defeated, he immediately led the soldiers back to fight.
Harald's troops began to cover up the fleeing soldiers of the Alemanni Federation.
At the same time, a pillar of fire suddenly shot straight into the sky from the middle of Duke Otto's car array!
