Lord of Riders

Chapter 265



It was already dusk when Shao Yu\'s Army started to rush to palavan.

The army of Shaoming Kingdom has a tradition of night fighting. Every time Shaoming Kingdom launched an attack, it was basically at night.

Especially the siege. Shao Yu received the news that the troops of the Anglo Empire did not return to the sea as usual today. Instead, they chose to camp not far from palavan, which seems to prevent the convergence of the two armies.

However, Shao Yu didn\'t mean to join the defenders of the kingdom of Swadia. They went straight to the camp of the Anglo empire.

At this time, the three sides were closely watching the movements of the other two sides. Shaoyu didn\'t send anyone to contact king harlaus, so he started fighting directly. Did not say hello to King harlaus.

When the moon was dark and the wind was high, it was time to sleep, but no one in Palaven\'s garrison could sleep. Because not far from Palaven, the killing sound was loud, and the fire lit up half the sky.

The camp of the Anglo Empire has fallen into a sea of fire.

The kingdom of Shaoming launched an attack on the Anglo Empire directly in the middle of the night.

Of course, this was not a sneak attack. Barka knew that Shaoyu led the army of Shaoming kingdom to kill them.

Therefore, they were ready to meet the enemy early.

At the beginning, Barka was still wondering if there was something wrong with Shaoyu\'s head. He couldn\'t wait to come and fight with them as soon as he arrived. Obviously, in Barka\'s view, Shao Yu is obviously not too arrogant, that is, there is something wrong with him, otherwise he is a war maniac.

But soon, Balka found that the attack of Shaoming kingdom was not unreasonable.

After a day of fighting, the troops of the Anglo Empire were very tired. Before they got a rest, the attack of the kingdom of Shaoming began, which greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the troops of the Anglo empire. At the same time, the night attack also made Balka\'s response problematic.

The fire in the barracks provided a good shooting line of sight for the crossbow soldiers of Shaoming kingdom. Shaoming kingdom is used to fighting at night, so field warfare is not a problem at all. They rely more on the suppression of crossbow soldiers. After breaking the morale of the other party, soldiers can pour in and massacre wantonly.

Balka soon found that he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the army of Shaoming kingdom. The crossbow soldiers of Shaoming kingdom came up to shoot in covering style. Arrow rain soon reaped the lives of a large number of soldiers after flying to the barracks, especially the shield soldiers in front, who were soon shot by crossbows and arrows. Close range skin shield has little effect on strong crossbow.

This barbaric attack proved to be very effective in battle.

The quality of weapons and equipment can determine the outcome of a battle.

It\'s like Germany\'s destruction of Poland during World War II. When the Germans used aircraft and tanks to fight blitz, the poles still believed in the power of cavalry, stabbed the German tanks with their sharp or heavy lances, or tried to cut open the tin monster with their machetes.

Of course, as the sixth largest tank country in the world at that time, the strength of Poland\'s army was not strong. Only from the perspective of the army, at least it was stronger than Japan and the United States. But unfortunately they met Germany.

This battle is not only because of the different concept of battle, but also the gap in the use of weapons and equipment determines the final outcome. The tank won the battle against the king of war in cold weapons and hot weapons.

In the era without guns, crossbows are synonymous with lethality. Maybe riding guns can penetrate solid armor and shields, but an excellent Knight training can\'t happen overnight.

But as long as a soldier can pull the crossbow string and move his fingers, he can easily harvest a knight who has been trained and fought for ten and twenty years, even if you wear heavy and strong armor. The lion heart king of the Crusaders is a good example.

There is no doubt about the result of the confrontation between long-range forces. The crossbow troops of Shaoming Kingdom completely defeated the Anglo empire.

Barka will not let such a massacre continue. Shortly after the war, Barka ordered the army to go out of the camp directly.

But Shaoming kingdom was not in a hurry to fight with them. Soon, Shaoming Kingdom\'s army began to retreat. Chasing in the dark was not a wise choice. Barka soon asked the soldiers to retreat again.

But the army of Shaoming Kingdom pasted it again. They did not go far. As soon as the Anglo Empire retreated, they followed.

Shao Yu doesn\'t mind playing such guerrilla tactics with them here.

"Asshole! Send orders down and chase them directly! We must destroy them!" Barka was tossed several times and ran away directly. Sixty thousand people under him were tossed away in a night.

The crossbow arrows of Shaoming kingdom are like endless ones. 5000 crossbow soldiers are put into firing at the same time, and 15000 crossbow soldiers are divided into three rounds. Round after round. There was only four or five seconds between them, and the soldiers of the Anglo Empire had no chance to breathe. Just after a round of arrow rain, the one behind came.

Shao Yu and his soldiers ran back and forth for five big rounds, and tens of thousands of soldiers were shot and killed on the side of the Anglo empire. Balka couldn\'t stand it. Once, all the soldiers around Balka were shot directly under the cover of the shield wall, and fresh blood splashed on Balka\'s face.

As the governor of the Navy, Barka is also a man who has experienced great storms and is used to life and death.

But now he felt that he had received a great insult. The soldiers continued to die around him, but he was powerless, which made Balka angry. Then he issued the just order to destroy the army of Shaoming Kingdom at all costs.

Barka ordered, and all the remaining Anglo Imperial troops were pressed out.

But just after half of their soldiers left the barracks, they were attacked.

A large number of cavalry appeared outside the barracks, and some of them ignited this simple barracks built by the Anglo empire.

Barka ordered the whole army to leave the barracks for battle, and this place was not going to be taken, so no one took care of the fire, because the cavalry of Shaoming Kingdom also launched an attack at the same time.

The cavalry also withdrew after fighting. More than 10000 cavalry made several sprints back and forth, penetrating the formation of soldiers outside the barracks. Killed more than 2000 people and disappeared into the night again.

The fire lit up half the sky. Before Balka\'s soldiers had completely left the barracks, the army of Shaoming kingdom had been pressed up again. But this time, it seemed more serious. The infantry holding shields rushed in front. The neat shield wall pressed against the troops of the Anglo empire. In the dark, I didn\'t know how long the shield wall was, and no one counted it, because the arrow rain had been covered.
