The Flying Bear Army still maintains a certain number of ordinary archers. Although these arrows are not very effective against ogres, they are not very effective when used to harvest kobolds.
As two rounds of thousands of arrows were thrown out, at least hundreds of kobolds were nailed to death on the ground.
The crossbowmen in the first row also stepped on the crossbow with both hands and put the crossbow on the iron plate in front of them to fix it.
These powerful crossbows were also specially built for this battle. Since Richard found that ordinary bows and arrows were not easy to use in the last battle with the ogres, he ordered the ordnance factory to build this batch of crossbows that required the use of both hands and feet to complete the stringing.
crossbow,
The mixed wheel sets on both sides have reduced the difficulty of stringing a lot, but it can still be seen that the crossbowmen have a little difficulty in stringing.
There is no way. In order to be able to shoot through the iron armor on the ogre at a certain distance and then break through the ogre's thick skin, the crossbow was designed to be nearly 7 stones. Even with a pulley set to reduce the difficulty of winding,
It takes a lot of effort to complete winding once.
And there must be a fulcrum to rely on when launching, otherwise ordinary soldiers will not be able to withstand its force.
"put!"
"Buzz buzz..."
The release of the crossbow made a unique dull sound, and more than a hundred powerful arrows were fired at the incoming kobolds. These arrows, which were slightly longer than ordinary arrows, appeared as soon as they entered the kobold formation.
produced an extraordinary effect,
Unlike the feathered arrows that nailed a kobold with one arrow, these powerful arrows shot by crossbows continued to have power after hitting the kobolds in the front row, and they had to shoot through several kobolds in a row before they lost power.
On the ground, or in the body of the last unlucky guy,
There are even a few arrows that just happen to be stuck in a certain position and directly fly out the kobolds who are stuck in the arrows. Two or three kobolds are hung on the arrows to form a blood gourd effect.
This round of crossbow attacks is comparable to the casualties caused by thousands of feather arrows to the kobolds. This group of kobolds has already suffered nearly a thousand casualties before they came into contact with the car formation. The casualty rate has already reached
An astonishing one-fifth of the time, only a magical species like the kobold can still rush forward with its head sullen under such circumstances.
"Order the crossbowmen to pause shooting and rest in place, while the archers continue to attack!
Lancers, get ready!"
Quill, who was on the horse, clearly saw the power of the crossbow just now. After nodding with satisfaction, he immediately ordered the crossbowman to stop shooting. These are all precious things.
Strong crossbows are limited by use. The more they are used and the longer they are used, the more likely they are to be damaged. In order to be able to withstand powerful forces many times, many of the parts on these crossbows are made of fine iron, as are the bowstrings.
It is made of the best materials and can be used to test its power against kobolds. Quill would be reluctant to use it against kobolds all the time.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
After enduring another round of arrow rain and leaving behind two to three hundred corpses, the kobolds finally arrived in front of the car formation, but something embarrassing also happened.
These chariots are probably more than one meter above the ground. Counting the spiked baffles on the front, they are at least 1.7 or 8 meters tall. They are several heads taller than the kobolds. The kobolds in front of the vehicle formation can only stare.
Standing still in front of the chariot, they were shot to death one by one by the spearmen on the chariot in front of the chariot.
He was a little more excited and threw stones at the chariot, but most of them were blocked by the baffle, and could not cause too much damage to the Flying Bear Army soldiers behind the baffle.
Soon the kobolds stopped in the front row were pushed forward by the crowd of kobolds in the back row. The kobolds in the back row didn't know what their companions in front were facing. They just moved forward like inertia, causing the kobolds in front to move forward.
The man was forced to hit the chariot's spikes,
The quick-thinking kobolds came to the chariot and bowed down, trying to pass under the chariot.
But how could Richard, who had a very sinister mind, let this go when designing the chariot? The kobolds who got into the bottom of the car were immediately faced with the blades hanging upside down from the bottom of the car. Many kobolds were squeezed by their companions coming from behind.
Going to the blade and ending one's life is like committing suicide.
The last group of kobolds who were lucky enough to find a way out between the blades and got out from under the car were immediately faced with a strict gun formation again.
Most of these lucky kobolds completely lost their courage when faced with the forest of spear formations in the end, and stood there dumbly, not daring to attack as fiercely as before.
"Enter!"
"Tap, step..."
Following Quil's next order, the spearmen in the front line stepped forward in neat steps, holding their spears forward for a few steps before forcing the kobolds to retreat.
The spear formation and the car formation were only a few meters apart, making it easier for them to coordinate with each other. As the gun formation moved forward, the last bit of standing space for the kobolds was gone. They were either killed or forced back under the car.
After passing the blade level,
The five thousand kobolds finally calmed down after suffering most of the casualties. A 50% casualty rate is a cordon that will directly collapse for almost all armies. Kobolds like these have not received any formal training.
A species that can withstand such a high number of casualties is truly extremely iron-clad.
But this is also the limit. As the spear array moves forward, the three-meter-long spear can directly attack the kobold in the gap between the car array. The kobold can only be beaten passively and is not even qualified to fight back. After holding on for a while
As the first kobold fled, a large-scale rout began.
Quill had no intention of pursuing. After ordering the archers to fire two rounds at will, he let the army shrink again. In Quill's view, defeating thousands of kobolds was not even an appetizer. The real battle had to be seen.
The follow-up Ogre Warrior.
"There's some trouble."
It is normal for the kobolds to fail in front of the human army, but the defeat was so complete that there was not even formal contact, which made the ogre chief frown.
Just the things the kobolds tried out just now made the commanding ogre chief feel troubled.
It doesn't require a high level of skill. Anyone with some common sense can see that the car formation created by humans is difficult to deal with. How much it will cost to break it. The elite soldiers brought out this time have already suffered enough losses.
, and if he loses some of the more than 3,000 elites around him, what else can he do to annex other tribes?
"Sir, Chief Wuha is urging us to attack."
While the ogre chief was hesitating, Wuha couldn't stand it anymore and frantically signaled him to attack.
"Humph, is he teaching me how to do things?"
After instinctively speaking, the ogre chief still issued the order to attack to his headquarters. No matter how dissatisfied he felt, at least now everyone was still a grasshopper on a rope.
As the ogre chief issued the order, more than 3,000 ogre warriors took action upon hearing the order. These ogre warriors, which looked like hills to ordinary humans, marched towards the flying bear army's vehicle formation. The real battle was actually
just began…
