Lord of Riders

The shooting range of 　　 hunting bows is only about 60 meters, while the curved hunting bows used by those militiamen have a shooting range of only forty meters. The soldiers rushing behind were ordered by Ma Muen to retreat quickly, and soon left the archer's range.

　　 "Damn, didn't it mean that there are only three or four hundred farmers, what is going on!" Ma Muen shouted angrily.

　　 The intelligence error of this inquiries was too great. Five hundred archers fired a volley, and the soldiers were shot as hedgehogs as soon as they were near.

　　 "Archers, fight back!" After retreating seventy meters, Earl Mamoun immediately ordered the archers to attack the Shurus defenders.

　　Although the militiamen and archers under Shao Yu from Schulersburg are no longer able to shoot, the Kugit bows in the hands of the Virginia guerrilla archers of the two armies can still continue to attack. They have a range of 80 meters.

　　 After some observations, Earl Mamoun discovered the shortcomings of the Shulesburg defenders. Their attack range was very limited, and the penetration of the arrows was not very strong, but it was better than the scale.

"The messenger, immediately go back and send a letter to Lord Rodela. The number of enemy troops here far exceeds the number of intelligence. There are at least five or six hundred people, and there are a large number of archers. Hurry up and mobilize heavy infantry and archers to support you. "Ma Muen yelled at the messenger, told him to go back to pass the letter, and at the same time direct the archer's attack.

　　 However, when Count Mamoun’s archers attacked, the soldiers of Schulersburg hid behind the fence.

　　 These guerrilla shooters have nothing to do with them.

　　 The commanders of these guerrilla shooters also have a headache. When the enemy shoots, he has nowhere to hide, but when it’s their turn to attack, the enemy is protected by a wall.

　　 "Sir, they are hiding behind the wall, we can't hit them at all"

　　The Archer Commander came to Ma Muen and said frustratedly

　　 "Hmph, a bunch of rubbish" Earl Mamoun was also very angry in his heart.

　　 "Order the troops to retreat one mile and camp"

　　 Helpless, Earl Mamoun had to suspend the attack.

　　Earl Mamuen was very aggrieved. He thought that with his own forces, he could wipe out these farmers very quickly. It seems that the opponent is still underestimated.

　　Earl Mamuen camped not far from Schloss so that he could attack Schloss at any time.

　　 "Brother, the enemy retreated"

　　 Inside Schulesburg, Elaine was excited to see Earl Mamoun retreating

　　 Shao Yu smiled without saying a word, and looked indifferent.

　　 "These are just cannon fodder for the enemy's probing, the real enemy is still behind"

　　 After a while, Shao Yu said slowly

　　 "Yes, brother, I found out that the other party’s general is Earl Mamoun." Then Elaine said to Shao Yu

　　 "What? Do you know this Earl Mamoun?" Shao Yu asked curiously.

　　 "We used to compete in the arena of Zivadin. He is really a brave warrior. Since then we have become good friends, but since I was deprived of inheritance by my father, we have never seen him again."

　　 Eleon thought of the past and said sadly

　　 "Oh? That's it. Since I'm a friend, please invite Count Mamuen over for a cup of tea tonight."

　　 Shao Yu thought about it and said with a smile

　　 "Sir, don't be joking, now he is an enemy, how can he accept our invitation"

　　 Eleon couldn't help but smile, now the two sides are fighting fiercely. Even a former friend, Ma Muen will not pay attention to himself now, I am afraid it will be a little embarrassing to meet. After all, it is now robbed of other people's turf.

　　 "Okay, leave a hundred archers to guard the city wall, and the other soldiers go to rest."

　　 Shao Yu preached to the soldiers

　　 "But my lord, the enemy has just retreated and may be killed at any time." After Shao Yugang finished speaking, a soldier said

　　 "Huh, the enemy can't allow our subordinates to attack. If they dare not attack easily, execute the order and go down quietly" Shao Yu shook his head and laughed.

　　 "Yes, my lord"

　　 Although the soldiers were a little worried, since Shao Yu gave orders, the soldiers stepped down the wall and went to rest. Only one hundred people will be guarded on it in turn.

　　 Shao Yu, Eleon, and Cusa also got off the wall together, and went back to rest.

　　 "Tonight, invite Earl Mamoun here for tea, please be polite"

　　 Shao Yu went back to the room, sat down at the table and took off his scimitar, and said to the air at the same time.

　　 After finishing speaking, Shao Yu sat at the table and read about the Roman military system that he had bought at Aichamore's five hundred dinars not long ago.

　　 "This Calradia book is really expensive"" Shao Yu couldn't help thinking

　　 There is no printing, and it is all hand-copied. In addition, books are things that nobles can own, so the price is very expensive, and it is more valuable than many precious gems. However, the decoration of this book is indeed very exquisite. It is wrapped in high-quality leather and bordered by silver. In the center of the writing is a gold-cut lion head and ruby-decorated eyes, which are vivid and lifelike.

　　 But Shao Yu is not interested in these, the most important thing is the content of the book.

I thought that this book was only about the organization of the army. After reading it, Shao Yu found that it was not so simple~www.readwn.com~ This book records the famous combat skills in the history of the ancient Calradia Empire. The content of, system, unit, formation, etc. can almost be said to be an encyclopedia

　　 Shao Yu was inspired by the battle formation recorded in the book by the ancient Persian Empire that once ruled Calradia for hundreds of years.

　　 Thousands of years ago, the continent of Calradia was still in chaos. Dozens of countries coexisted in Calradia. The war between countries lasted for a hundred years, and the continent became desolate in the long battle. Just when people were suffering from the war, one of the greatest emperors in the history of Calradia, Darius I, was born.

　　 At that time, Persia was still a small country in a corner, but soon Darius, who was only fifteen years old, showed his amazing talent. Under the initiative of Prince Darius, Persia gave up the most common bronze sword and horse-drawn chariot on the road and replaced it with an eleven-man battle formation.

　　 At the front of the queue is a heavy infantry equipped with a large shield, and behind him are ten archers equipped with short swords and bows.

　　 "When they attacked, countless arrows covered the sky and the sun, and the earth plunged into darkness for it."

According to the Roman military system, with a powerful long-range army, most of the enemy was shot and killed before the Persian Legion. Arrow rain shot them like hedgehogs. Darius I was in a state of failure. In just over ten years, Emperor Darius I unified the entire Calradia continent and established a peaceful and stable Persian Empire.

　　 This kind of fighting method also accompanied the history of the Persian Empire for two hundred years. Until the emergence of the group of heavy infantry. This battle formation withdrew from the stage of history along with the Persian Empire.
