Chapter 14 The Fierce Battle

Auxiliary soldiers are adults who have undergone simple military training. They have different titles in different places, such as militia, local garrison, village and town guards, and new recruits.

Such people are not taken seriously by knights at all. It is very easy for a regular knight to defeat a small group of local guards under the cover of his retinue of knights.

This is another level that cannot be ignored at all, because 70% of the military force on the Ashan continent is composed of them.

The retinue class is named after the knight retinue. A regular knight retinue will basically follow a regular knight at the age of six or seven to learn various combat skills and non-combat skills (maintenance of weapons and armor, raising war horses)

, swordsmanship, riding, etc.), the two are masters and apprentices when they are close, and they are followers when they are far away.

People at this level are a mixed bag. Those with excellent skills may be able to catch up with regular knights. They just lack the hard indicators of physical fitness. However, it is not surprising that some veterans with unique combat skills and rich combat experience can defeat some young regular knights. Xiao

Yes, it is of this type.

Then there are those who are of average level, that is, they are only slightly better than those of the auxiliary level, but such people are still in the minority, because the chances of the auxiliary level going to the battlefield are much greater than that of the auxiliary level. There is a generally accepted view on the Ashan continent that "

War is supported by knights and knights’ retinue.”

Those who make up the numbers either allow themselves to grow quickly, or they have long since become fertilizer for weeds.

The Bastille Marksman, the Condor Shooter of the Andis Mountain People, and the Giant Bear Hunter are just established customary titles, and their strength positioning is very vague. There are both retinue-level and knight-level ones, so it is difficult to accurately classify them.

After all, there is no similar impartial institution in the world to conduct systematic tests on them, especially the Andis Mountain People. But one thing is certain, even the subordinates are top-notch, and there will never be a mixture of good and bad.

After confirming that it was a big knight, Sean had no choice but to do anything else, and he didn't dare to do anything else. The opponent's short-distance charge was three points faster than a galloping horse. Once he got close, the opponent only needed to deal with him.

A sword.

The remaining twelve heavy arrows all hit the big knight - smashing is just an adjective. It does not mean that all the heavy arrows were shot at the big knight. The delay effect would be minimal, and the opponent could easily hit him.

This level of arrows came rushing towards me.

The attack targets of the twelve heavy arrows are all on Bartley, and all of them are from behind. If the big knight does not move, Sean's arrows will never come out. When the big knight moves, whether attacking Sean or others, Sean's heavy arrows will

When it arrived, the great knight had to return to the defense.

There is only one possibility for a person who at least has the status of a powerful Lord to appear here, and that is to serve as a personal guard for a high-ranking noble. There is no doubt that Bartley is the person the other party needs to guard.

Although Sean couldn't do anything, the previous foreshadowing worked - the four heavy arrows shot at the Andis mountain people carrying the sliding pole.

Being able to be selected from many Andis mountain people to carry the sliding pole, both in stature and skill, is not too bad. Such Andis mountain people are the backbone of the family, whether in the village or in the village. They must be

A hunter who is not too skilled, and a thick, long and heavy arrow is a murderous weapon in their hands.

Facts prove this.

The four Andis mountain people who got the heavy arrows all showed above-average combat effectiveness.

The first victim was the ghost slave Heber who had just been rewarded. A sharp arrow slit his throat. Although he was still alive for a while, he was holding his neck and coughing like a toad, but in this world,

Having a slit in the aorta is no different than being sentenced to death.

Heber once again proved one thing with his own life: ghost slaves are more hated than slave-hunting soldiers.

Then there were three slave-hunting soldiers, a sharpshooter, and an Andis mountaineer who used his own life to create an opportunity to kill the sharpshooter.

The remaining three Andis mountain people's combat effectiveness has not decreased but increased, because they have all changed to a more convenient weapon.

Especially one of them got a sharpshooter's military bow. During this period, the knight tried to kill them again and again, but was forced back by Sean.

Although these mountain people didn't know a single word, the ghosts and ghosts who had been practicing in the mountains all hid away from the great knight.

After seizing the weapons, he did not rush to kill the enemy, but went around to assist, giving priority to helping his own people break free from the shackles and seize more weapons.

It sounds slow, but everything happened simultaneously. Sean used up a whole pot of heavy arrows in only eighty seconds.

In these short eighty seconds, both on the mountain ridge and on the mountain path, unimaginable brutal fighting broke out.

The Andis mountain people sang loud and loud war songs. For freedom and for their compatriots, they died generously without fear. Even if they couldn't bring an enemy to death before they died, they would use their own flesh and blood to fight against the enemy.

Hold the opponent firmly and create opportunities for your companions.

Teeth, stones, dead branches, even the ropes that tied them together became their weapons to kill the enemy.

In just eighty seconds, it was completely filled with blood and death. The number of slave hunting soldiers was reduced by a third. The heavy casualties can no longer be described in a simple sentence. Previously, they had successively defeated six Andys.

The mountain villagers only suffered 17 casualties.

If the casualty rate of a legion reaches 5% and the formation is still intact, this legion can be regarded as a qualified reserve legion;

If the casualty rate exceeds 10% and the fighting spirit is still high, then it is considered a regular army;

If the casualty rate exceeds 20% and still does not collapse, it is not an exaggeration to call this regiment an elite;

If the casualty rate exceeds 30% and still fights bravely, then this legion is definitely an ace legion with its own beliefs;

If the casualty rate exceeds 40% and they are still fighting to the death, there is only one possibility. This legion has been trapped in a life-and-death siege and has no choice but to fight.

This is the classification of the elite level of the legions by a famous general in Ashan continent. Although there are great conjectures and idealization elements in it, everyone still agrees with this data, because Ashan has been a classic example of war for hundreds of years.

, there is no war that deviates too much from this data.

This data seems simple, but in fact it contains many questions, including thoughts on collective will and individual will. Most of the time, collective will affects individual will, but in extreme cases, individual will will feed back to collective will.

, thus affecting the overall situation.

Of course, the hunting soldiers are not an ace corps. They are not even a corps. They are too mixed. They include regular knights from the Manyu military leader, Bastille city defenders, and hired soldiers.

Slave hunter.

If you fight with the wind and swarm up, you can't see any disadvantages. Once you get into a hard fight, especially a close-range and chaotic fight like this, the disadvantages will be completely exposed.

There is no unified command, no tacit cooperation, and after being fooled, they can't unite. The knights can't find their own followers, and the followers can't find their own knights, so they fight on their own.

Surrounded by ferocious enemies, and all that echoed in his ears were the death screams of his companions, even the determined knight was on the verge of collapse, let alone the retinues and slave hunters.

After finding an opportunity, the first thing many people think of is not to fight back, but to run away in confusion. The consequence of doing so is often death faster.

The slave-hunting teams that Benson hired with money were relatively clustered among the mountain guard teams, and their captains were nearby, so although their combat effectiveness was the lowest, they had the fewest casualties. After the initial

Riot, relying on the captain's strong force and appeal, gathered his team together.

The selfish nature of these slave-hunting teams was clearly exposed at this time. Their first thought was not to expand the results of the battle, but to preserve their own strength and began to withdraw from the battle intentionally or unintentionally.

Almost all the Bastille marksmen were wiped out - it was not that those Andis mountaineers had discussed it in advance, but that the mountaineers were best at archery. Once there was a riot, they would naturally give priority to snatching the weapons they were good at. In addition, the marksmen's close combat abilities were unsatisfactory.

, such a result is natural and reasonable.

The people who performed the best were undoubtedly the people brought by Bartley, especially the regular knights. After the initial discomfort, these people quickly showed the reason why they were called the Pillars of War in Ashan Continent.

Their strong physiques, clean killing skills and firm will make them a rock, sticking to their original spot and unshakable. For every one killed, the Andis mountain people must pay nearly ten lives.

The only good thing is that the number of regular knights is too small and their distribution is too scattered to pose a fatal threat.

Compared to the slave-hunting soldiers, the Andis mountain people suffered more heavy losses. Only less than half of the people who were still standing were left. However, such heavy casualties not only did not make them collapse, but also made their fighting spirit even higher.

.

Not only because they were not prepared to survive before launching the attack, but also because many of the people lying on the ground were their close relatives, and if they escaped, they would have no chance of survival.

But from the timid eyes of the other party, they saw a glimmer of victory, and for this glimmer of hope, they were willing to risk their lives.

Sean is not as optimistic as those Andis mountain people, because he has a ferocious beast in human skin. Once he loses his control, the other party can completely reverse the situation by himself. The Andis mountain people's

The desperate tactics are a joke in front of the opponent.

Just now he saw with his own eyes that an Andis mountain man who wanted to create a chance for him was split in half. He couldn't even get close. How could he use all his strength to deal with such a disparity in strength?

There is only one way.

The rain of arrows covers a large area. It is obvious that the Andis mountain people do not have this condition now.

Now Sean's arrows are about to be used up.

"The pot is empty, run." Sean shouted loudly, dragged his long bow, turned around and left without any hesitation. As for the idea of ​​rushing out to fight the opponent, it never appeared in his mind from beginning to end. The difference in strength was huge.

It's too big, regardless of archery, even if you use magic, there is no chance to fight.
