Chapter 278

Nord quickly sorted out the formation. The finished products of the three arms were arranged in a zigzag manner. The top was 200 Amun spearmen. Although only a few small captains were qualified to wear lock armour, Nord now wore two layers of leather armour when each Spearman went into battle in order to increase their defense.

Because Nord is not short of animal fur now, and the production of leather armor has been exceeded. Now, in addition to trading with mountain people as commodities, only a little is sold sporadically in the market, and the rest can only be stacked in the ash in the warehouse. Unless Nord continues to expand next time, the production capacity of the fur workshop can soon fill a whole warehouse.

So Nord gave the extra leather armor to the spearmen. Wearing double-layer leather armor, they can also have more survival ability in close combat. The thick leather armor can also bring great comfort to these spearmen. They holding black iron wood spears do not move like a mountain in the face of the incoming enemy.

The two wings behind the Spearman are the crossbow and Archer respectively. Their camp is inclined, which can give full play to the advantages of output and concentrate the weaknesses of the enemy, because the front protection must be very favorable, but the flanks are not necessarily. The arrows flying from the side will catch them off guard.

Nord didn't let his soldiers take the initiative, not only because there were a large number of people opposite, but also because Nord's troops didn't have much impact, but their defensive strength was better. Especially when the formation was set up, Nord's remote output would make the enemy feel desperate.

When the two earls led their troops into the range of 300 meters, they immediately asked the soldiers in front to erect a big shield. This is the way they thought of after they suffered a heavy loss yesterday. Because Nord's troops had sharp bows and arrows, they can only think of this method, but they can only make a few simple big wooden shields in a short time.

Originally, these soldiers in the north also had some shields, because shields were also their necessities when fighting with the Ximan kingdom. The archers and light infantry of the Ximan kingdom are the characteristics of their country, so every soldier should wear a shield in the battle with the Ximan kingdom.

However, it is very inconvenient to carry a shield. After all, a heavy wooden shield consumes a lot of energy. After fighting with the Ximan Kingdom, many soldiers abandoned the wooden shield, because the wooden shield has not rare equipment. Only trees can build as many as they want, which is different from the weapons in their hands.

The rebels with combat experience began to raise their shields 300 meters away. They seemed cautious, because the two earls knew that the archers of Nord's army had a very long range, so today they were very cautious. They not only temporarily equipped with shields, but also began to guard from a long distance. They wanted to see what Nord could do, In the battle with the kingdom of seaman, they have sufficient experience in the defense of bows and arrows.

Nord frowned when he saw them take out large wooden shields from behind, and then suddenly relieved, because Nord saw that they tilted their shields over their heads. This method is a very standard way to guard against bows and arrows, because bows and arrows hit the enemy at a long distance in a parabola trend, so the opposite enemy is right to do so.

However, Nord's men not only have archers, but also crossbow soldiers they have never seen. Although the crossbow arrows fired by the crossbow will also have a certain falling track, they are not as exaggerated as the arrows. Because of their strength, the crossbow arrows concentrate the enemy from the front, unlike the arrows falling from an oblique top.

Since their empty door was wide open, Nord was no longer polite. He directly asked the crossbow soldier on the right to launch the first wave of attack. The crossbow soldier pulled the trigger in his hand, and a sound of bow string vibration made the crossbow arrow break through the air in front of the array with strong force and attack the front group of soldiers with wooden shields.

Suddenly, the soldiers who raised their shields fell down, because they were ordinary soldiers without iron armor. Those noble knights would not rush in the front at this time. They still needed to consume some gun ash when they knew there were powerful archers opposite.

These fallen shield men frightened the soldiers behind them. They didn't think why they raised their shields and were shot by bows and arrows, but Nord's Crossbow man soon told them the answer, because the crossbow arrows of the soldiers in the second column followed.

There was another puffing sound, and the cannon fodder fell down again. Now the people finally understood why they would fall when they raised their shields. It was different from the previous arrows, because the crossbow arrows were shot from in front of them. These Knights behind immediately understood and began to scold the soldiers in front of them to pick up the shields.

These panicked cannon fodder hurriedly picked up the shields on the ground and shrank behind the big wooden shield. They were afraid that they would fall next. They only heard a sound. The cannon fodder in front of the rebel felt that the wooden shield in their hands had been hit. At this time, they comforted a lot, Although the crossbow shot on the wooden shield made their hands numb, it was better than shooting on themselves.

The third column of crossbow soldiers did not hit more enemies than the first two columns. After all, the enemy was ready. It was impossible to continue to achieve the first unprotected record. Nord was not too disappointed. While the crossbow soldiers were winding up, he asked the archers on the left side to start shooting together.

Because at this moment, the rebels have approached 200 meters in front of Nord's array and are within the range of the archers. The archers' shooting method is not the three-stage shooting of the crossbow soldiers, because the archers do not lack the ability of continuous output, and their firing speed is also very fast. Unlike the crossbow soldiers, they can't hold a fart for half a day.

Archers need a large-scale volley to give full play to their strength, and the hunters who just came from behind also stood behind the archer squadron. Nord incorporated them into the formation of the archer Squadron, because they are of the same origin, and they don't pay attention to accuracy in volley. Just bow and take arrows to one place with the rhythm.

Therefore, the archers of Nord's army unexpectedly reached the scale of 300 people. With Nord's order, the archer position sent out a different bow string vibration sound from the crossbow. The bow string vibration sound is relatively clear, and the bow string vibration sound of the crossbow is relatively dull, but the sound of the arrow breaking through the air is the same.

Listening to the familiar voice in the air, the shield men in front of the rebel army consciously grasped the shield in their hands, but beyond their expectation, there were only sporadic sounds of being hit on the wooden shield, and their arms didn't feel the vibration. They only heard a whine behind them.

The shield hand was stunned by the scene in front of them when he looked back. At the same position just now, the comrades in arms behind them were shot into hedgehogs by the arrow rain falling from the sky. Only those knights wearing iron armor were spared. They were frightened by this bloody scene and held the shield tightly. Only it can give these shield hands a little sense of security.
