Under the silver starry sky, a group of cavalry advanced rapidly into the city. Before the officers and soldiers on the road could stop them, they were taken away by a wave of arrows.
This wave of cavalry all wear heavy scale armor, hold bows in their hands, and have knives at their waists. They move quickly and are extremely sturdy.
This army is the latest frontier cavalry recruited and is good at long-distance raids, close combat and long-range attacks.
The leader was General Hua Rong, who led 2,000 border troops to Qin Feng's location, preparing to relieve Walker and his companions.
The sound of horse hooves was extremely loud at night, but the Ranger soldiers identified them as government troops, because only the government troops had such a large number of cavalry.
But the officers and soldiers were very puzzled. The dress styles of these cavalry were completely different from their own. There were even no cavalry with bows and arrows in their cavalry ranks.
Using a bow and arrow on a war horse is too difficult for them. Only some people who have lived on horseback since childhood can barely do it, provided that they have to play with it since childhood.
But this is unrealistic in North Asia, because the mainstream here is crossbow cavalry. They only need to hold the crossbow and shoot arrows. This is much smoother than bows and arrows, and the accuracy is much higher.
Even bows and arrows are about to be eliminated in North Asia and Mexico. The military industry here is still very developed, and smuggling of arms is the most common operation in North Asia and Mexico.
There are enough crossbows to equip multiple corps, but currently they are only equipped to elite corps. If a large number of crossbows are equipped, the soldiers will resell the equipment. This is not without precedent, because those high-quality crossbows are still sold on the black market.
crossbow.
He ran forward quickly, killing anyone who stood in his way. The ruthless rain of arrows turned all the soldiers in front of him into hedgehogs, and no one was spared.
"200 meters ahead, launch..." Hua Rong suddenly ordered loudly.
However, the generals and guards around him were the first to fire. Countless projectiles first crossed the space, causing bloody flowers among the city defense troops in front of the Green Turtle Chamber of Commerce Building.
"The enemy is attacking..." the city defense officer yelled sternly, "It's the Rangers' cavalry unit. Go find Lord Rodney and ask him to lead the cavalry regiment to support..."
"Spearmen, come forward..." The city defense officer was also very experienced. He knew that he did not have as many cavalry as his opponent, so he immediately asked the spearmen to block the intersection and set up the first obstacle.
"Arrows and crossbowmen come forward..." the city defense army roared again. As civilians, the archers fell behind the spearmen, and behind them were the crossbow brigades composed of wealthy people. They usually used money to bribe the officers.
Only then did he get such a prestigious position.
Next to the city defense officers are the most elite cavalry. They are all closely related to the nobility. Not only are they very well-equipped, but they are also superior to others in terms of position and military qualifications.
Surrounding the cavalry are shield warriors. They belong to the civilian class just like the spears, and are like cannon fodder in the legion sequence.
When they had just set up their formation, the sky suddenly darkened, and the original silver starlight suddenly disappeared.
The city defense soldiers looked up in confusion and saw a large number of arrows raining down from the sky like a black tide.
"ah……"
A soldier was pierced in the eye by a thick and hooked arrow on the spot, and then pierced through the back of his head. The soldiers around him were stunned and before they had time to fear, more arrows rained down and enveloped them all.
Rows of spearmen fell instantly, and their hard leather armor could not stop the arrows from the frontier troops.
Seeing this scene, the city defense officer suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his hands and feet became cold, "This is...Archer Cavalry? How come those rangers have such a unit?"
What surprised him even more was that the opponent's cavalry fired faster and more fiercely than the Beiyamo crossbow cavalry.
Waves of arrows continued to fire as the frontier cavalry ran, and they could accurately fall on the heads of the city defense troops.
This reminded the city defense officers of a term, mobile shooting. This is a skill that only the top teams can master. It can only be achieved by elite soldiers who have been practicing for more than ten years.
In North Asia, there is only one such army, and it is among the most elite ranks.
But he didn't expect to see such top-notch cavalry in this edge port city. His hands and feet began to stiffen unconsciously. The only thought in his mind was not to fight, but to run away as quickly as possible.
The better.
After several waves of arrows, a large number of spearmen fell down. Even the archers behind them fell to dozens of people. Looking at the cavalry rushing over secretly in front of them, there were also spearmen who fell to the ground and suffered heavy losses.
In the formation, the archers behind fired a few arrows randomly and ran away.
They are all too aware of the consequences of being approached by cavalry, especially large-scale cavalry. Their final result can only be that they are collided and trampled into a pulp.
The crossbow soldiers at the rear were not stupid either. They rushed back before releasing their arrows. No matter how the city defense officers shouted, they would not look back. As for deserters who would be judged in the end, it could be solved by just paying some money, right?
Why waste your life on the battlefield?
The frontier cavalry rushed through the gap in the spearmen's phalanx. The big bows had been put away, and the sharp swords flew quickly, turning into countless silver crescent moons.
Immediately, the huge heads flew up. At the same time, the frontier cavalry on the inside still shot with bows and arrows, accurately shooting the panicked spearmen in the high-speed movement.
"Run away..." The civilian spearmen, who were afraid of military-style trials, could not withstand the threat of death in the end, threw away all the spears in their hands and fled.
The high-speed frontier cavalry broke up the spear phalanx and easily caught up with the archers. Those wearing simple leather armor were easily knocked away by their horses, which allowed the frontier cavalry to advance again without any hindrance.
In the phalanx of crossbows.
Rows of flying trapeze artists, with their heads flying up one by one, had already frightened the crossbowmen from superior families. They had no idea of resistance and just wanted to escape from such a battlefield as quickly as possible.
But they are not as fast as the cavalry, so they can only be caught up one by one and killed one by one.
By the time Hua Rong killed the city defense troops in front of the Green Turtle Chamber of Commerce Building, the city defense officer had already fled with the few cavalrymen.
"It's really not enough to kill..." Hua Rong shook the long spear in his hand, and the blood beads on it flew out immediately, and then the blade of the spear was as clean as new again.
At this time, a ray of sword light shot out from the Green Turtle Merchant Building, pointed straight into the sky, and then slashed downwards, immediately creating a huge crack in the wall behind the building.
"No..." A miserable voice came out, and then it became quiet again.
After a while, Qin Feng walked out of the building, followed by Walker and others.
Hua Rong hurriedly stepped forward, dismounted and clasped his fists, saying: "Captain, we are late..."
Qin Feng looked at the battlefield. The frontier cavalry had already driven away all the surrounding city defense troops. He smiled and said, "No, we came just in time."
The Huggins mage just now was really weird. He was able to drive the shadows of benches, tables, and people to attack physically, but he himself disappeared into the shadows and could not be found.
In the end, Qin Feng had to cut open the entire floor, destroying his shadow cage, and then cut him into two pieces.
Qin Feng also found a strange black bead on his brow. He didn't see any use for it, but since it was embedded in his forehead by Huggins, it must be a good thing.
Well, leave it to Xuan Guang... I hope I can research something useful... In a burst of Tai Chi pattern light, the black shadow beads disappeared in Qin Feng's hands.
"By the way, you go and put Huggins' head on the head, and then lead the border cavalry to cooperate with Walker and the others to take down the entire city..." Qin Feng mounted a war horse and said before leaving: "I
I will wait for you at the villa..."
Battle log: Kill the enemy and gain +23 aura value that day.
The sword attack just now also consumed too much of Qin Feng's energy, which made him feel a little tired. Now he just wants to go back and have a good rest for a day, and then go to the Mage Association to hand in the task.
After obtaining a flying speedboat, give it to Xuan Guang and the others, and let them copy and improve more flying warships to take the Ming Army's military equipment to a higher level.
Watching Qin Feng disappear into the street on horseback, Hua Rong turned to look at the crowd in front of him and asked: "Who is Walker?"
Everyone looked at the warriors in front of the crowd. Walker looked at the many cavalry in front of him and swallowed. He did not expect that the sturdy cavalry in front of him was actually Qin Feng's subordinates. This made him even more uncertain about Qin Feng's position.
Invisibly, I felt even more in awe.
"I am, my lord, what are your orders..." Walker bowed slightly to show respect.
"Take your people and take down the entire city with me..." Hua Rong held up his long spear and jumped on the horse, "Hurry up, the cavalry of the city defense army will be here soon..."
"Okay..." Walker turned around and yelled: "Brothers, our reinforcements are here. We will definitely be able to capture Burr City and realize our ideal..."
At this time, the ground shook again, and a cavalry regiment no less numerous than the frontier cavalry rushed from a distance.
The streets in Bei Yamo were wide enough for 100 people to line up side by side. The cavalry regiments, with their long guns drawn and 30 people in a row, formed a wedge-shaped square and rushed towards Hua Rong and others.
"Kill me..." Hua Rong led his generals and guards and charged back.
First there was a wave of musketry and arrow fire, and then he suddenly rushed into the enemy's formation with his long spear in hand, attacking from the left and right. The surrounding city defense cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and no one was his enemy.
The general guards led by Hua Rong had blocked the middle of the avenue. The cavalry of the city defense army could only be forced to stop where they were. There were only a few dozen who could fight Hua Rong and others, but the frontier cavalry did not just wait.
The big bows in their hands were still firing, which caused huge damage to the city defense cavalry.
The city defense army's plate armor had good defensive capabilities, but in the face of the armor-piercing arrows of the frontier cavalry, they had to be shot off their horses one after another. Basically, they had more than a dozen thick arrows stuck in their bodies.
Rodney, the commander of the city defense army, saw that the army in front was being threatened by a rain of arrows. He knew that if this continued, the only way out was failure. But if he retreated now, he would be pursued by the opponent's cavalry, and he would not even have time to counterattack.
