Chapter 322 River Beach Sniper
One by one shouted wildly: "Archers, archers hurry up and support remotely."
After a few seconds, sparse arrows fell from the river, many of which could not even be reached by armored bears, let alone cause damage.
In order to make it easier to gain a firm foothold and prevent the enemy from pushing them back into the water, most of the Kingsley family's first wave was heavy armored infantry, with quite a limited number of archers.
The main force of the archers is still gathering on the Donnao River, and most of them use composite army bows, and the range is not ideal. If they want to support from the river, it is also powerless, and they have not waited until they shoot the armor The war bear, the Andis longbow and arrow rain from the leader of the Yongye army will directly hit them on the head.
"Throw spears, throw spears, and never let them come near."
Heavy armored infantry are not good at long-range attacks, but it doesn't mean they don't have any means of long-range attacks, especially those like the Kingsley family, who use heavy armored infantry as their main force, will naturally give full consideration to this aspect.
The spear-throwing axe, this medium-to-short-range throwing weapon, is a good choice. Compared with the bow and arrow, it has more lethality.
They didn't care about keeping it for later, they just threw it out as long as it was convenient.
They had never seen such a formation in their lives. The majestic and huge physique of the armored war bear made people feel terrified just by looking at it. If they were touched by this kind of guy, even if they were wearing heavy armor, they might not die or be disabled.
But what happened next made them even more desperate.
There was a clanking sound, and their attacks had little effect, only causing slight scratches to several armored war bears, none of which were fatal.
These scratches not only did not make them fearful, but stimulated their viciousness even more, and the speed was a little faster.
Don't forget that they are not pure wild giant bears, but war bears wearing tailor-made heavy armor.
The position of the Armored War Bear in the Second Legion of the Eternal Night Army is to attack and break through formations, so the frontal defense capability of the armor is the strongest, and the thinnest part is also lined with finger-thick steel plates and chain mail. When they landed on them, they were also bounced off abruptly.
"Assemble, everyone prepare for impact."
Armored war bears are huge in size, but anyone who has faced them and charged knows that when they run wildly, their speed is not slow at all, even on relatively soft sandy ground.
The vanguard of the Kingsley family only had one or two rounds of reaction time. These behemoths were already close at hand, and their breath with a strong fishy smell was clearly discernible.
The only good news is that the raft used by the soldiers of the Kingsley family to withstand the rain of arrows is still there, and all the soldiers of Kingsley retreated behind the raft, so they didn't have to face the first wave of the armored bears.
Although many people inside had never seen a bear before, it did not prevent them from knowing that the first wave of pounce with the speed of these behemoths is the most terrifying.
boom! boom! boom!
The violent beating sound is clearly discernible.
Even if it was a dozen heavy armored soldiers of the Kingsley family who were shoulder to shoulder behind the log raft, they were still staggered from the shock. Many of them retreated several steps in a row, and several of the logs were broken in the middle of the raft, and they were forced to die. The shot was broken, and the wood dross flew in all directions.
However, this situation is a minority among the minority.
Most of the log rafts were spinning and flying out.
Because those armored war bears slapped down, not necessarily the middle part of the raft, most of them were closer to the side.
A few of them didn't attack the log raft at all, but started to slow down halfway, rushed to the front and back, stood up directly, grabbed the top of the log raft, and pulled it over violently.
Those Kingsley heavy armored soldiers only cared about defending against the frontal attack of the armored war bears. Who would have thought that these beasts were so smart that they were about to become smart and knew how to save effort.
What's more, the log raft was not a shield in the first place, and there were not many ropes for them to pull. Even if they wanted to pull it, they couldn't do it.
When those log rafts were pulled over, many heavily armored soldiers were still half squatting, posing as if to welcome the impact, with a dazed look on their faces.
The armored war bear didn't give them a chance to react, it roared, and with huge bear paws, it struck left and right, with bangs, squeaks and squeaks.
bang bang.
That was the bear's paw was directly compacted on the heavy armored soldier.
There is only one result, that is, the heavy armor is dented, the bones are broken, the tendons are broken, and he vomits blood and flies upside down. Those who are shot on the shoulder and thigh are lucky, if they are hit on the head and chest.
It's okay to say that the former is basically a sudden death on the spot, and the neck has become twisted, so what are you waiting for if you don't die?
The latter is more troublesome. The spit out blood obviously contains minced flesh. They need to struggle for hours, or even days, and die in endless pain and despair. They cannot be saved at all, including those with relatively advanced medical methods. The leader of Yongye.
For thoracotomy, although they have been exploring, they are not yet mature. Some basic supporting facilities have not been able to keep up, and it is basically impossible to get off the operating table.
squeak.
It was the sound of the claws of the armored war bear scratching the armor.
The Yongye army leader not only created special protective gear for these behemoths, but even frantically put special steel weapons on their two front paws.
This is a further compensation made by the Second Legion after fully absorbing the lesson of its own bear's paw being injured by its own shock force during the award ceremony.
Judging from the current performance, the effect is good.
"Damn it, what did these guys eat to grow up? They even know how to coordinate tactics! Are they still beasts?"
What makes these heavily armored soldiers even more frightened is that these armored war bears obviously know how to cooperate easily.
After the first wave of impact, they gathered in groups of three or four, back to back, facing outward with their strongest armor and strongest attack power, protecting their relatively weak back.
The target of the attack is to pick those who are alone, or those who are timid and want to retreat.
Beasts can also play tactics, will this still make people live?
With just one contact, hundreds of heavily armored soldiers fell forever, far more than the number damaged by the previous wave of arrow rain.
"Fight with them."
Behind the despair is hysterical madness.
Run, can't run.
Escape, can't escape.
Then there is only a desperate fight.
Many low-level Kingsley officers greeted their soldiers, ready to fight these beasts desperately.
As a result, before he got close, he was slapped away by the armored war bear, and he couldn't get up again.
These Kingsley family soldiers finally realized what it was like for the crocodile tribe to wear simple leather armor and chew on their heavy infantry phalanx.
Hit a stone with an egg.
The enemy didn't gnaw it down, but collapsed himself with blood all over his mouth.
"kill!"
The Armored War Bear led by the Yongye Army has never said to charge alone. Countless black-armored Yongye soldiers, like a tide, surged out after the Armored War Bear.
Not only is the charging speed fast, but the formation is also terrifyingly neat.
Halfway through the charge, they also uniformly threw spears at the Kingsley family.
Even if they were wearing heavy armor, the heavy armor soldiers of the Kingsley family fell down in pieces.
Then there was a uniform draw of the knife, raised and lowered, and the cold front of the knife shone in the sun.
Stumped limbs, heads flying around, and blood splattered everywhere.
The Kingsley family rushed to the formation of the vanguard, but it was completely disrupted by the armored bear just now.
Facing the Yongye soldiers in complete formation, they couldn't stand it at all. After all, the opponent's weapons and armor were even worse than theirs.
For a while, their formation had to retreat again and again, and soon many people retreated back into the water.
"General Stubin, please start attacking your catapults!" Standing on the dragon skeleton warship, Akemesser, commanding by remote control, said to the dragon skeleton warship captain Stubin.
A small part of the warships of the Commons family were patrolling in the waters on both sides, and ten of them were in the deep water of the shoal.
Although they have no way to directly participate in the landing attack, the small trebuchets carried on their ships can provide long-range fire cover.
"Your people are still there." Stubbing didn't mean to remind him. Seeing his half-smile, it was obvious that he was exposing Akemesser's scars, because at the moment when the armored war bear appeared, he A similar suggestion has already been given, but it was ignored by Ake Messer.
"Attack." Akemeser gritted his teeth and said, although it was not the first time that such an order was given, every time it was given, it was so difficult.
"As you wish." Although Stubbs has a bad personality, he also knows that he must not delay the opportunity.
Now for the Kingsley family to rush to the vanguard army, it is a one-sided massacre, and it is carried out in full view. If you don't come up with a way to deal with the armored bears of the Yongye army leader as soon as possible, the first beach landing failure will be a disaster. What matters is the blow to the morale of the soldiers of the Kingsley family is fatal.
"The trebuchet is ready, launch." Following Stubin's order, the banner wavered.
The ship's trebuchet, which was already in place, threw out pieces of carefully polished stone bullets.
These polished stone bullets are not only more lethal, but also more accurate. It is impossible to hit a fixed target with a hundred hits, at least the trajectory will not be too crooked.
Although these stone bombs are only about 20 kilograms, after being endowed with powerful kinetic energy, their lethality is quite terrifying.
Whether it was a soldier of the Kingsley family or a soldier of Yongye, as long as they were hit at the vital point, they would basically be killed on the spot.
Even those armored war bears didn't dare to resist, they could dodge and dodge, and once they were hit, the armor made of steel would be seriously deformed.
"Go to the second attack echelon!" With a wave of his hand, Ake Messer sent up the second heavy infantry that had been on standby for a long time.
There is no coincidence in this kind of beach landing. The only way is to fill it with blood and pile up life, and see who collapses first, and whoever is the final winner.
"Archers get ready, launch rockets, and attack the reeds." Akemesser's attack was not a strategic attack, but turned his attention to the lush reeds surrounding the shallows.
This place has become a natural cover for the Yong Ye army leader, and he doesn't know what's going on inside.
It was his biggest mistake not to burn them with fire in the first place.
If a loophole is found, of course it must be filled as soon as possible.
The dense rockets fell down, and soon ignited the reeds within the attack range, and spread along the way.
It is the end of summer now, and the Swamp of Despair has been hot and rainless for the past few years. Although the water plants and reeds are not fully mature, they are almost ready. After they are lit, the fire will spread quickly.
when! when! when!
The leader of the Yong Ye army blew the gong to withdraw his troops.
It wasn't that the Second Army was frightened by the catapults of the Commons family, but was forced to retreat by the trick of setting fire to the reeds by Ake Messer.
Once the fire spreads completely.
The second army that rushed into the shallows became a lone army, and it was very likely that they would be eaten abruptly by the Kingsley family.
Life for life.
If this kind of thing is not pushed to a desperate situation, the Yong Ye army leader will not do it.
The war between the two sides has just begun, and it is far from reaching this point.
Preventing the landing of the Kingsley family is only a small part of the plan of the leader of the Yongye army. The main purpose is to consume the vitality of the Kingsley family as much as possible, and there is no hope that they will never be blocked from landing.
So they retreated cleanly.
Even the entire retreat process was orderly.
Each squadron guarded an armored war bear, fighting and retreating, not only making up for the wounded Kingsley family soldiers, but also taking away seven or eight of their own wounded and corpses.
Ake Messer's eyes were all narrowed into a line, seeing the big from the small. From the performance of this troop, one can roughly estimate and evaluate the level of the Eternal Night Army's leadership.
Ake Messer marked them as dangerous in his heart, and they were also called barbarian people. The army led by the Yongye army was completely different from that of the crocodile tribe.
The army led by the Yongye army can already bear the title of elite regular army.
This is not only about the equipment, but also about the calm and unhurried qualities displayed on the battlefield.
This can only be tempered after long-term training and tempering in the flames of war.
The most frightening thing is that this force has grown silently to what it is now.
At the beginning because of Di Kelong, when he came into contact with him, he didn't pay attention to this sudden power at all. It was a great blessing that he didn't suffer even more because of this contempt.
Thoughts were flying in his mind, but Ake Messer would not let go of this excellent opportunity. Taking advantage of the fire in the reeds and isolating the two sides, more Kingsley family soldiers raced to land. Bo experience, all the rafts are driven, and after being dragged to the place, a deep defensive position is built to prevent the opponent's armored bear from charging into the battle again.
There is never a shortage of smart people in this world, especially when you are cornered on the battlefield.
The Achilles' heel of the armored war bear was soon discovered by the Kingsley family.
It is also its biggest advantage-large size.
Huge size means that when the strength is terrifying, it also means that it is difficult to turn and maneuver. As long as their activity space is compressed as much as possible, the lethality they burst out will naturally be much smaller.
It is a good choice to form a restricted square with logs and rafts.
Of course, whether it works well, whether it can resist the brute force of the armored bear, is another matter, it's better than being helpless!
Although the fire in the reed field was burning, even through the fire, the rain of arrows led by Yong Ye's army never stopped.
Every three to five minutes, there will be such a wave.
The archers probably changed several dials.
The entire shoal was densely filled with arrows, making it almost impossible for people to settle down.
This somewhat caused some distress and casualties to the landing of the Kingsley family.
There are always some unlucky ghosts who didn't worship the goddess of luck before going out, and a stray arrow can kill them.
The reeds were no better than trees, they ignited and burned quickly, especially after the leader of the Yongye army consciously set fire to it, it took only two hours to burn it all.
The phalanx of the leader of the Yong Ye Army hiding behind the reeds was revealed.
The reeds in the wetlands there had been reaped by the Yong Ye army leader, and groups of crocodile tribes lined up in neat formations, drawing bows and shooting arrows with rhythmic drum beats.
Andis people and crocodile people, although they have the same ancestor - ancient Andes empire people.
However, the three hundred years of completely different living customs still make the two sides quite different. Although they are not as big as the Andes and the Byrons, they can still be distinguished at a glance.
Of course, the most important thing is the attire. Apart from the Andis longbows held by those crocodiles, they are still dressed as crocodiles.
The leader of the Eternal Night Army has not taken the time to arm them, nor will he arm them easily, at least not until they are fully incorporated into the leader of the Eternal Night Army.
The crocodile people are not good at frontal combat, but they are more than enough to act as Andis longbowmen.
After all, the Andis longbow has never been known for its precision, but through long-range projection, it covers a large area to form lethality.
