Lord of Riders
Chapter 266: Arrogant night battle
It was already dusk when Shao Yu's army started to rush to Paravin.
The army of the Shao Ming Kingdom has a tradition of night battles. Every time the Shao Ming Kingdom launched an attack, it was basically at night.
Especially the siege. Shao Yu received the news that today the army of the Anglo-Saxon Empire did not return to the sea as usual. Instead, he chose to camp in a place not far from Palavin, which seems to be to prevent the confluence of the two armies.
But Shao Yu didn't mean to join the defenders of the Swadia Kingdom, and they rushed directly to the camp of the Ansa Empire.
At this time, the three parties were closely watching the movements of the other two parties. Shao Yu did not send anyone to contact King Haraus, and just started the fight. Did not say hello to King Harous.
When the moon was black and the wind was high, it was supposed to be the time to go to bed, but none of the Paravin's defenders could fall asleep. Because it was not far from Paravin, the killing sound shook the sky, and the sky full of fire lit up half of the sky.
The camp of the Anza Empire has been plunged into a sea of flames.
The Shao Ming Kingdom launched an attack on the Ansa Empire right in the middle of the night.
Of course, this was not a sneak attack, Barka knew that Shao Yu led the army of the Shao Ming Kingdom to kill them.
So they were ready to meet the enemy early.
At the beginning, Barka was still wondering if there was something wrong with Shao Yu's head, but he couldn't wait to come and fight with them as soon as he arrived. Obviously from Barka's point of view, Shao Yu is obviously not too arrogant.
But soon, Barka discovered that the Shao Ming Kingdom’s offense was not unreasonable.
The army of the Ansa Empire has been exhausted after a day of fighting. Now that they have not had a rest, the offensive of the Kingdom of Shao Ming has begun, which greatly reduces the combat effectiveness of the Ansa Empire. At the same time, the night attack also caused Barka's response to problems.
The firelight in the barracks provided a good sight for the crossbowmen of the Shao Ming Kingdom. The Shao Ming Kingdom was accustomed to fighting at night, so field battles were not a problem at all. They relied more on the suppression of crossbowmen, and after the morale of the opponent was destroyed, soldiers could file in and massacre.
Barka soon discovered that he had underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Shao Ming Kingdom's army. The crossbowmen of the Shao Ming Kingdom came up to carry out covering shooting. After Arrow Rain flew to the barracks, it quickly harvested a large number of soldiers' lives, especially the shield soldiers who stood in front of them, and they were quickly shot and killed by the crossbow. Close-range skinned shields have little effect on crossbows.
This brutal attack method proved to be very effective in combat.
The quality of weapons and equipment can determine the outcome of a battle.
Just like Germany’s demise of Poland during World War II, when the Germans used aircraft and tanks to fight blitz, the Poles still believed in the power of the cavalry, using their sharp or heavy lances to stab the German tanks, or Their scimitar wanted to chop off this tin monster.
Of course, as the sixth largest tank nation in the world at that time, Poland's army was not weak. From the perspective of the army alone, it was at least stronger than Japan and the United States. But unfortunately they met Germany.
This battle is not only because of the different concepts of the battle, but also the difference in the use of weapons and equipment also determines the final outcome. The battle between the cold weapon and the hot weapon of the king of war, the tank wins.
In the era when there were no firearms like guns, crossbows were synonymous with lethality. It may be possible to ride a gun through strong armor and shields, but an excellent knight training is not a matter of overnight.
But as long as a soldier can pull off the crossbow and move his finger, he can easily reap a knight who has been trained and combated for ten or twenty years, even if you wear heavy and strong armor. The Lionheart of the Crusaders is a good example.
The result of the confrontation between the long-range troops is beyond doubt. The crossbow troops of the Shao Ming Kingdom completely defeated the Ansa Empire.
Barka naturally would not let such a slaughter go on. Soon after the war, Barka ordered the army to go out and fight directly.
But the Shao Ming Kingdom was not eager to fight with them. Soon, the Shao Ming Kingdom's army began to retreat. Pursuing in the dark was not a wise choice. Barka soon asked the soldiers to retreat.
But the army of the Shao Ming Kingdom posted it again. They did not go far, and as soon as the Anza Empire retreated, they followed.
The so-called enemy advance, I retreat, I chase the enemy and flee, and I fight, Shao Yu doesn't mind playing such guerrilla tactics with them here.
"Asshole! Pass the order and chase me directly! We must destroy them!" Barka was tossed a few times and ran away, and the 60,000 people under him were tossed away within a short period of time.
The crossbow bolts of the Shao Ming Kingdom are like endless. Five thousand crossbowmen are thrown into shooting at the same time. 15,000 crossbowmen are divided into three rounds to shoot ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ round after round. . Only four or five seconds apart, the soldiers of the Anza Empire did not have a chance to breathe. Just after a round of arrows rain here, the ones behind came.
Shao Yu took the soldiers back and forth for five rounds, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers shot and killed in the Ansa Empire. Barka couldn't stand it. Once, the soldiers around Barka were shot directly under the cover of the shield wall, and blood splashed on Barka's face.
As the governor of the navy, Barka is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves and is accustomed to life and death.
But now he felt that he had received a great insult. The soldiers were constantly dying by his side, but he was powerless. This made Barka angry, and he immediately issued the order just now to destroy the Shao Ming Kingdom's army at all costs.
Barka gave an order, and the rest of the Anza Di ** team were all pressed out.
But just half of their soldiers left the barracks and were attacked later.
A large number of cavalry appeared outside the barracks, and some cavalry ignited the simple barracks built by the Anglo-Saxon Empire.
Barka ordered the whole army to leave the barracks to fight, and this place was not going to be taken, so no one was going to take care of the fire, because the cavalry of the Shao Ming kingdom also launched an offensive at the same time.
The cavalry also withdrew after fighting. More than 10,000 cavalry sprinted back and forth, penetrating the formation of the soldiers outside the barracks. After killing more than two thousand people, he disappeared into the night again.
The fire lit up half of the sky. Before the soldiers of Barka had completely left the barracks, the army of the Kingdom of Shao Ming had already pressed up again. But this time, it seems to be more serious. The infantry holding a shield is at the forefront. The neat shield wall presses against the army of the Anglo Empire. I don’t know how long this shield wall is in the darkness. No one went to count, because the arrow rain had already covered it.
