Chapter 308

When Nord's troops found them, the count from the East didn't mean to escape at all. His heart also wanted to compete with Nord. It didn't mean that they would flee in a hurry if an unnamed army suddenly appeared.

Moreover, from the situation in recent days, he can also feel that the army in the central region is not here. The count has been wandering in this region for more than ten days, and has not met any soldiers in the central region. Even when looting the town, he has little resistance. The count in the East feels that the nearby troops should have been transferred by the Marquis of Mellon.

Therefore, after judging that the visitor was not the main force led by Marquis Mellon, the soldiers in the East did not choose to retreat, but took the initiative to meet up. The distance between the two sides was getting closer. When the distance was close to 500 meters, Nord let the troops slow down and began to rectify the formation.

This time point is also the starting point for the long-range forces. At a close point, Nord's long-range forces lose the advantage of range. The distance of 500 meters is a problem that can be crossed in a few steps compared with the charging forces. Nord must prepare an advance measurement.

Nord still chooses the pin shape plus three-stage shooting formation, but there is a reserve position behind the Spearman formation. They are responsible for supporting the Spearman squadron in front of the sudden attack at any time, and can also support the long-range forces on both wings, which can provide some support for these long-range forces.

The soldiers on the opposite east side are still confused when they see the enemy on the opposite side, because the momentum of the army's charge is a very important means. It can not only stimulate the morale of the soldiers, but also cause significant casualties to the enemy. Although there is no such momentum as the cavalry charge, it is also very hurt for the infantry to stop suddenly after the charge.

That is, Nord's well-trained troops with strong long-range firepower can do this, because for Nord's troops, long-range firepower is their greatest advantage. Spearmen and reserves work for archers and crossbow soldiers. Only long-range troops can give the enemy great lethality.

After Nord gave the order, the troops began to slow down gradually. Although there was no sense of shock from extreme movement to extreme stillness, the troops who stopped slowly and adjusted the formation were well-trained, but the reserve team behind was a little messy, affecting the regularity of the whole formation. However, their chaotic formation did not affect the progress of the battle.

As the long-range troops on both wings gradually spread out, the soldiers in the east also entered the range of 300 meters. This distance was the limit output range of the long-range troops. Without hesitation, Nord immediately ordered to shoot. The archers and crossbow squadron attacked the soldiers in the East who were sprinting towards them.

The eastern soldiers who were unprepared were beaten to the head. The eastern soldiers who charged in front directly fell down a large area. They did not expect that the opponent's bow and arrow would be so sharp and could attack them at such a distance.

The soldiers in the East who had never fought with Nord's troops immediately suffered a heavy loss. They did not carry shields at any time like the soldiers defending the Ximan kingdom. Perhaps this is the reason why they did not know the enemy. When they fought with the soldiers of the Ximan kingdom before, they could quickly break down their formation without shields, Because the limit range of the archers in the Ximan kingdom is only more than 100 meters.

Even with the advantage of the city wall, it will not exceed 200 meters. Therefore, except when attacking the city, the soldiers of the Principality of Bethel generally will not be equipped with shields. If they encounter the soldiers of the Ximan Kingdom, the soldiers of the Principality of Bethel generally choose to rush hard and break down the enemy's formation.

More than a hundred meters away, he bit his teeth and rushed over. As long as he rushed in front of the soldiers of the Ximan Kingdom, the same number of soldiers of the Ximan Kingdom faced the soldiers of the Principality of Bethel, which was a one-sided situation. They could only use the city wall and sharp tools to resist the troops of the Principality of Bethel.

But Nord's troops are different. The range of 300 meters is a very terrible range. If a soldier wants to rush over 300 meters, it takes at least one minute, because the rush is not like a sprint race, running without spare strength, and running to the end is tired like a dead dog.

That is to rush to the enemy to deliver vegetables. It doesn't make any sense at all. The speed of charging is very important, but we must maintain a certain spare power. Therefore, most of the time, charging is a little faster than jogging.

Nord saw that in the first wave of arrow rain, the soldiers in the East became loose at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the soldiers behind didn't know it and rushed forward, which pushed the soldiers in the front into the fire pit. Nord could vaguely see the frightened faces of the soldiers in the front.

Nord's eyes didn't change at all, and he didn't have the slightest pity for the eastern soldiers who fell opposite. Under the ruthless output of Nord's two wings, the soldiers charged by the eastern troops suffered heavy casualties, and basically the soldiers in front changed their faces.

The output time for Nord's two wing long-range forces is only about one minute. Especially after seeing the sharp long-range fire of Nord's forces, the charging speed of the soldiers in the East has obviously accelerated. Because of the crowd, they have no way to retreat.

It is not only because the retreat road is blocked by the soldiers who arrive one after another, but also the knights who follow them will not let them retreat. The deserters who retreat on the battlefield will come to no good end after they are found. Those Knights may snap their lives at random.

Therefore, there is only one way to leave them, one way to death. Rushing in front of the enemy is their chance to survive. For them, there is no retreat, only buried in charge and handed everything to the choice of fate. If the arrows in the sky can't reach them, these people will have the chance to survive.

Therefore, these soldiers in the East have full potential, and whether they can maintain their combat effectiveness in front of the enemy or not, because they stay in place is also a dead end. At this moment, they really race against death. If they run slower, they lose their lives.

After paying a painful price, the soldiers in the East finally rushed to Nord's battle. Perhaps they thought that as long as they rushed in front of the enemy, the enemy's troops would soon be defeated in the cruel hand to hand combat, which many experienced soldiers had experienced, not to mention the knights who pressed the battle.

This is also the fighting belief of the soldiers in the East until now. In this way, the troops of the Ximan Kingdom have cultivated the self-confidence of the soldiers of the Principality of Bethel with repeated failures. However, Nord's troops are different from the soldiers of the Ximan kingdom. Although they also use long-range troops as the main means of output, the strength of Nord's troops in close combat is not bad at all.
