Heroes of Silver Moon

Chapter 324: : Old King's Means (33)

Unlike the archers of the Hawke family, the archers of the Hood family were more than 150 meters away from the close combat between the two sides.

At such a distance, the arrows they shot could not be aimed at all.

So before, when the two sides were fighting at close range, the retainer of the Hood family asked his own archers to stop shooting.

At such a long distance, if you shoot at will, you may accidentally shoot your own people.

But it's different now. The archers from the Hawke family are constantly shooting at their people. If they don't fight back, the light infantry attacked in front may be defeated directly.

Therefore, even if they are likely to accidentally injure their own people, they must let the archers support the soldiers in front.

"Prepare, shoot", the order was issued, and a rain curtain of arrows fell on the heads of the spearmen of the Hawke family in an instant.

In order not to accidentally injure their own people, the group of archers from the Hood family shot as far as possible to the rear of the Hawke family.

Therefore, the spearmen of the Hawke family who were behind the shield wall were undoubtedly out of luck.

"Ah", a wave of arrows was approaching, and the spearman behind the shield wall of the Hawke family screamed in an instant.

In order to shoot further, this round of arrow rain from the Hood family did not grasp the size properly. At least half of the arrows shot into the open space behind the spearman.

But even so, the Hawke family still lost more than one hundred people this time, and nearly two hundred people were injured.

Seeing such a heavy loss, Valery, who was in command of the Hawke family, felt his heart sink.

In order to keep the formation from being dispersed, these spearmen of the Hawke family were also crowded together, unable to dodge the arrows at all.

Fortunately, in the past, all the armed militiamen of the Hawke family were equipped with leather armor "sponsored" by a certain chamber of commerce.

Otherwise, in the face of this round of arrow rain from the Hood family, the number of casualties of the Hawke family would have to be multiplied several times.

More than sixty meters behind the shield wall, the archers of the Hawke family were constantly harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Hood family.

And behind the baffle in the center of the battlefield, the Hood family's archers shot round after round, constantly harvesting the lives of the Hawke family's spearmen.

Since then, the two families have begun to "harm each other".

Come on, who is afraid of whom! Your archers shoot our light infantry, our archers shoot your spearmen.

Anyway, our Hood family has a large number of people, so it is best to hurt each other, and our Hood family must be the most powerful.

No way, even if the Hood family's archers wanted to suppress the Hawke family's archers, they couldn't reach each other at all.

The archers of the Hood family were more than 150 meters away from the place where the two sides fought, while the archers of the Hawke family hid more than 60 meters behind the shield wall.

In other words, the distance between the archers of the two sides is about 210 meters, which is far beyond the range of the archers of the regular army.

Unlike the bullets fired by gunpowder weapons, the kinetic energy contained in the arrows fired by the longbow will weaken exponentially after exceeding a certain effective range.

Even the regular army archers of the Hood family want to shoot the archers of the Hawke family.

But in the end, the arrows could only be shot in front of the Hawke family's archers, and they couldn't get their shadow at all.

The current distance was naturally created deliberately by the Hawke family!

First of all, the number and quality of the archers of the Hood family are higher than those of the Hawke family. If the archers of the two sides shoot at each other, the Hawke family will be at a disadvantage in an instant.

But now the positions of the archers on both sides, on the side of the Hawke family, whether it is the regular army archers or the militia archers, they can shoot the Hood family soldiers at a distance of more than 60 meters.

But the Hood family was different. Their archers were 150 meters away from the battlefield, which happened to be the furthest range for militia archers.

In order not to accidentally injure their own people, they can only let the archers shoot at a longer distance.

At a distance of more than 150 meters, the militia archers are naturally useless.

Therefore, until now, the militia archers on the Hood family's side have been in a state of doing nothing, and all the regular army archers are shooting.

The abacus in Valéry's heart was pounding, this time, even if it was abolishing the militia archers of the Hood family.

There are as many as seven hundred militia archers of the Hood family!

The Hood family's first wave of light infantry charged forward huddled together with the Hawke family's heavy infantry and spearmen.

The formation has not been overwhelmed, and the number of people killed by the Hawke family can be counted on the fingers.

Although the spearmen behind the shield wall of the Hawke family have been assassinating these light infantry, generally speaking, not many people have been killed.

The two sides have been fighting for a long time, and the spearmen of the Hawke family stabbed more than two hundred people to death.

Instead, the attacks of the archers on both sides caused the soldiers on both sides to fall down in pieces.

The Hood family's front line, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com After the two sides fought fiercely for a period of time, the grim-faced Marquis Hood frowned and issued a new command.

"Let the spearmen of the third line go out, and let the militia archers behind the baffle come back," Marquis Hood ordered to the messengers around him.

He didn't feel much when he was not on the battlefield, but as soon as the battle started, Marquis Hood felt a gap.

On the side of the Hawke family, the timing of the battlefield is controlled very well, and their tactical changes are smooth and smooth, without any sense of obstruction.

On the other hand, on their side, no matter whether it is him, the supreme commander, or the retainers who conduct specific commands below, their tactical commands are all mechanically copied.

Every time there is a change on the battlefield, the reaction of their Hood family will always be slower than that of the Hawke family.

Just like now, the first wave of light infantry on their side knew at a glance that they couldn't break through the opponent's shield wall.

And he, the supreme commander, actually sent the spearmen of the third line to support him now.

Another example is the archers behind the baffles, who are completely led by the nose by the Hawke family.

Those militia archers, no matter what, are a very strong combat force, but now they have not played a role at all, so they can only stand stupidly behind the baffle.

Fortunately, after estimating the casualties on both sides, Marquis Hood breathed a sigh of relief.

The current number of casualties on the field is about 800 people on their side, and more than 400 people from the Hawke family.

Although it seems to be a one-to-two battle loss, it doesn't matter to the Hood family.

The number of their Hood family was nearly three times that of the Hawke. Even if they kept changing like this, the Hawke family could only be defeated in the end.
