    Chapter 17 The Battle of Weilin Village (7)

    "Shoot!"

    "Shoot!"

    "Put up your shield!"

    The spearmen, swordsmen, and archers of the Second Legion responded quickly.

    The infantrymen in front squatted half on the ground, with one-meter-long square shields erected in front of them. The soldiers in the second row raised their shields above their heads to cover the soldiers next to them, and the infantrymen behind them did the same.

    The archers and crossbowmen of the Second Legion, whose formation was partially damaged and disrupted, still followed the centurion's order and hurriedly fired their bows and arrows.

    More than 600 long arrows were fired together in a volley against more than 300 long arrows released before and after the formation was chaotic.

    "ah!"

    "ah!"

    "ah!"

    Ding!

    Ding!

    Ding!

    ¡­¡­

    Elantra's bows and arrows exerted tremendous pressure on the bows and arrows of the Second Legion. The long arrows shot from three angles quickly shot straight from mid-air into the hands of the bows and arrows of the Second Legion.

    Wearing leather armor, cloth, and low defense, the archers of the Second Legion injured more than 70 people in the first round of shooting, while the archers of Elantra were only injured by more than 20 people.  Other long arrows shot into the Second Legion were blocked by the infantry's shields. The wounded and immobile archers of the Second Legion quickly retreated towards the rear of the formation.

    "Shoot!"

    In less than 3 seconds, the archer Centurion Wagel issued an order to attack.  More than 400 long arrows, connected front to back, were shot from the team of archers at intervals.

    Elantra archers use large longbows made with the latest technology. The length of this longbow is between 1.5 meters and 2 meters, with a maximum range of 360 meters and an effective range of 220 meters to 260 meters.  Within the effective distance, this kind of long arrow equipped with a bronze tip can penetrate leather armor and clothing. It can penetrate 3 to 5 mm of plate armor within 100 meters. Within 50 meters, a long bow with full power is indestructible.  , the 20mm bronze wooden shield can also be penetrated.

    The Elantra longbow using pulleys is much higher than the ordinary bows and arrows of the Second Legion in terms of range, power, and attack speed.  When the second wave of archers and crossbowmen of the Second Legion had prepared their bows and arrows, Elant's long arrow had already been shot.

    "ah!"

    "ah!"

    "ah!"

    ¡­¡­

    Screams of pain rang out among the archers of the Second Legion, who were already preparing to retreat and correct themselves. The archers who were loading arrows and preparing to launch were all subjected to such uninterrupted and rapid blows.

    This time, more than 50 people were injured. Many archers who drew their bowstrings unconsciously aimed at the mid-air, and released the long arrows in their hands without aiming in front.

    "Why so fast?"

    "What kind of bows and arrows do they use, which are so powerful, have such a long range, and attack so fast?" Boumishio, the archer centurion, and the various officers asked in shock.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    ¡­¡­

    This time, the loose long arrows severely bruised 5.6 archers.  In 7 seconds, the Elantra crossbowmen loaded their crossbows as quickly as possible.

    "Shoot!"

    "Shoot!"

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    ¡­¡­

    More than 600 long arrows were overwhelming, once again densely shooting into the ranks of the crossbowmen of the Second Legion.

    This time, the long arrows, which had been instinctively corrected by the first two shots, were unprecedentedly dense and accurate.  More than 200 archers of the Second Army were shot within 10 meters in front of the military formation.

    Fully more than half of the more than 400 archers and crossbowmen were injured.  The archers of the second officer could no longer bear the pain of such intensive strikes, and quickly retreated towards the rear carrying bows and arrows on their backs.

    The archers and centurions could not withstand this blow, and waved and shouted for a full retreat.

    The Guards Captain of the Guards Cavalry Battalion on the rear right said anxiously to Boumisio: "General, our archer brigade collapsed, and the entire team has lost its combat effectiveness. The enemy's archers only suffered a little loss.  , now both our cavalry and archers have been suppressed, and we can only rely on infantry to regain the advantage and win."

    "General, give the order to attack!"

    "Otherwise, their archers will shoot arrows at us quickly and indiscriminately. Although the bows and arrows are ineffective, if we remain indifferent, it will definitely cause a huge blow to the morale of the front line."

    Bumisxiu nodded solemnly, looked at the adjutant with his hands dancing, and solemnly shouted to the messengers:??: "Order the entire army to advance slowly."

    "Command the swordsmen and veterans to prepare for battle."

    "Order the boys of the cavalry battalion to prepare for an assault."

    "yes!"

    "yes!"

    ¡­¡­

    The cavalry guards were refreshed, the flag bearer waved the battle flag quickly, and four or five messengers quickly conveyed orders to the centurions in the military formation.

    More than 20 seconds later, the veterans on the right wing of the Second Army held shields and chanted slogans, marching slowly and neatly step by step. Upon seeing this, the teammates around them moved forward together, compressing the tactical space of the Elantra archers.

    Sensing the danger to the Elantra archers, the crossbowmen made a commotion.

    Wagel frowned, raised his neck and shouted: "Brothers, launch once, stand back and be ready, launch again, stand back, follow the usual drill order."

    "yes!"

    The archers of Elantra shouted nervously in response and fired nervously.  In just 40 seconds, Elantra's archers have shot more than 4,000 arrows.

    During the operation, there were gaps in the shield defense of the Second Legion. Spearmen and swordsmen were constantly injured by bows and arrows shot from mid-air, and their arms, shoulders, and calves were injured.  Including the previous archers of the Second Legion, more than 300 people were injured by bows and arrows.

    "This group of square shield infantry is so powerful!"

    "Yes! No matter how hard our bows and arrows shot, they couldn't penetrate their shields."

    "Yeah! After shooting 5 arrows, I feel like my arms are going numb. These swordsmen are just like a bunch of turtles!"

    "It's so depressing. It would be great if the people we shot were as easy to bully as the light-armored archers just now!"

    ¡­¡­

    The archers of Elantra discussed nervously but excitedly. The defensive power of the square shield swordsmen of the Second Legion was beyond their imagination. These skilled infantrymen with shields made the archers of Elantra feel sad.

    During the retreat, more than 2,000 long arrows were fired, but only more than 100 people were killed, and most of the targets were slightly injured.  Feeling that it was not worthwhile, Vagel and Julali quickly issued an order to retreat quickly.

    Lin Fenghan stared at the situation on the battlefield and said seriously to the messenger: "Speed ??up to Vagel, Julali archers and centurions, and let them attack the left wing of the Second Army. The spears there are light.  Infantry armor is thin and worth attacking.¡±

    "Yes!" A young cavalryman quickly ran towards the battlefield.

    "Order the army to advance slowly."

    "Order the knights on horseback and the infantry with heavy swords to hold their positions."

    "Order the general's guards and heavy cavalry brigade to prepare for an assault."

    "It's time for us to attack."

    Lin Fenghan looked at the rising sun in the sky, solemnly pulled down the face shield of his helmet, quietly took a sip of strong wine, and made final preparations.
