Cloud Armor

Section Three: Fortress of the Wind

The wind roared fiercely, like the roar of the undead.

Against the strong wind on the wasteland, more than 3 soldiers of the Kingdom Alliance Army chased the more than 4000 enemy cavalry running far ahead in dust, and they were about to run out of the range on the west side of the wasteland.The clear sky in the afternoon is still full of sunshine, which can alleviate the cold autumn in the northern region, but it can't dispel the cloud of suspicion in everyone's mind.

Since being teased and provoked by the enemy cavalry on the battlefield in the middle of the wasteland in the afternoon, the people of the Kingdom Alliance Army have been chasing them for a long distance.The cavalry in the Kingdom Alliance Army is okay, but the infantry who run on two legs are suffering, and they are sweating profusely.In addition to luring the enemy to go deep, the decoy cavalry of the enemy's horizontal team and western-style army also has the purpose of exhausting the strength of the opponent's large troops. Although it cannot have a decisive impact, it is also an uncomfortable tactic.

In the cavalry and infantry of the Liuyun Independent Brigade, the front and rear two parts chased the enemy. The strong captain Mason, Remy's hair boy Jack, and the red-haired one were Joseph riding horses in the cavalry team. The experienced young Roberts and the thorny Charlie who disliked Remy were both infantrymen, running hard and panting with the other infantrymen.

The Liuyun Independent Brigade is a highly mobile guerrilla unit that prides itself on speed. Even the infantry must run faster than the infantry of other units, so Remy and his infantry ran all the way fast.

"Beautiful chef! Beautiful chef!" Roberts, who was running beside Remy, talked about the thing he cared about as he ran, as if to encourage himself.

【Are you annoying!Are you annoying! ] Remy, who was upset, was even more upset by Roberts' nagging, and he had to try his best to adjust his mood.After all, I have little actual combat experience, and if I want to survive in a life-and-death battlefield, I must keep calm.

In the front, the cavalry of the Liuyun Independent Battalion, where Jack and the others belonged, has surpassed the cavalry of other troops, and is gradually approaching the enemy troops who are fleeing on horseback.

"Turn back to me! You bunch of mangy dogs!" shouted Captain Meisen, who rushed to the front immediately, put away his scimitar, raised his bow and pointed an arrow at the soldiers at the end of the fleeing enemy army.

The arrow shot through the air, and although the range was a little affected by today's strong wind, it still happened to hit the back of an enemy at the end of the enemy team.

The enemy screamed and fell off his horse.The other enemies continued to gallop regardless, not even looking at the fallen companion.

The cavalry of the Liuyun Independent Battalion got closer and then began to shoot arrows collectively. A Chinook arrow flew away and shot down several lagging enemies.The fleeing enemies in front also began to turn around on their horses and shoot arrows to fight back, but they basically didn't slow down.

The Liuyun Independent Brigade chased the enemy while shooting, and the cavalry from other troops gradually caught up.Unleash a flurry of fire at the enemy.At the end of the enemy team, the enemies who fell behind one by one fell in the dense arrow rain, while the other enemies still galloped forward at full speed, as if they were sure of victory ahead.

Just when the cavalry pursued by the Kingdom Alliance Army were about to force the enemy cavalry to stop with arrows, the scenery beyond the west side of the wilderness ahead came into everyone's eyes.The cavalry of the Kingdom Alliance Army suddenly reined in together, and one by one the soldiers started to stir noisily, allowing the enemy cavalry to slip away.

At this time, in front of everyone, in the distance to the west of the unnamed wasteland is a mountainous terrain. The main force of the nearly [-] enemy troops of the Ryan Empire has set up an extravagant formation near the continuous mountain peaks. The most conspicuous is the enemy. Many soldiers were also placed on a mountain peak, as if the entire mountain was used as a fortress, and the golden banner marking their commander-in-chief for this battle was blatantly planted on the top of the mountain, as if to lure the Kingdom Alliance The army went to attack.

On the Wald Road, the Alliance of Kingdoms and the Ryan Empire each occupy about half of the continent, the Alliance of Kingdoms occupies the eastern half of the continent, and the Ryan Empire occupies the western half of the continent.The unnamed wasteland on the northern front where the Liuyun Independent Brigade is now located is near the east-west border between the two countries.In this battle, the Alliance Army of the Kingdom defeated a Ryan Empire stronghold on the east side of the wasteland two days ago and pushed the front line to the wasteland, so they don't know much about the terrain on the west side of the wasteland.Now seeing that the enemy army is entrenched in a mountainous terrain in Nangong, everyone in the Kingdom Alliance Army is a little surprised.

The enemy not only adopted cavalry bait tactics to consume our physical strength, but also shifted the battlefield to favorable terrain.Seeing this, the people of the Kingdom Alliance Army had no time to continue chasing the enemy cavalry, and seized the time to regroup and prepare for the battle. More than 4000 enemy cavalry serving as bait also took the opportunity to run back to the main formation.

The two armies faced each other far away, regrouping and preparing for war at any time.

[It really is a trap. 】In the infantry formation of the Liuyun Independent Battalion, Remy, who was tired and panting, looked up at the enemy camp in front of him, and roughly saw the opponent's intentions.

"Get out of the way! Recruits!" Just as Remy stopped at the spot for a short rest, a person squeezed in from behind in the infantry line, yelling and knocked Remy's shoulder away.That man is the prickly Charlie with the gun hair, he gave Remy a good look, "I'm tired after only running for such a short distance, what does it look like!"

"You..." Remy stared back at Charlie a little angrily, "After I join the army for a year of experience, I can easily handle this level!"

"That depends on whether you can live to a year later." Charlie said without looking back, pushing towards the front of the infantry line as if to show his meaninglessness.Although Charlie is a veteran who has joined the army for a year, he is quite tired after running all the way. He just pretended to be okay in front of Remy, "I really don't know how Mr. Jack would value you like this..."

The wind in the afternoon was already strong, but the wind seemed to be blowing more violently at the border of the wilderness and the mountains.

Before the infantry of the Kingdom Alliance Army could recover, the Ryan Empire Army, which was relying on the mountains to the west, made a big move.

With the majestic horn of marching, the formation of the Ryan Imperial Army over there on the plain below the mountain began to spread out [-] million left and right, and launched an assault on both sides of the Kingdom Alliance Army in a huge enveloping formation.The Kingdom Alliance Army will not obediently let the opponent be surrounded, and also deploy [-] million troops to intercept the enemy troops attacking from both sides.

Tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides shouted loudly and charged forward. When the opponent entered the range of the artillery, they lit the fuse at the end of the cannon and launched roaring shells. Arrows throw a rain of arrows, throw spears and axes when the opponent enters the throwing range, and slash with the sword when the opponent enters the range of the sword.

The torrents of iron and steel troops from both sides clashed fiercely on both sides of the battlefield, and the sand city was full of chaos and smoke and dust.The two sides of the battlefield were dusty and bloody, but the middle of the battlefield seemed to be empty like an avenue, except for the fierce wind that swirled in midair.

Seeing that the situation has changed, Captain Mei Sen of the Liuyun Independent Brigade did not lead the team to kill first this time, but stayed calmly in place to observe the situation.Although he looks like a rough and muscular man on the surface, he is actually an excellent commander who is thick and thin. Otherwise, the Liuyun Independent Brigade would not be able to march across the battlefield with only 2000 people.

"This is a grand invitation!" Captain Mason looked at the avenue on the battlefield that seemed to be deliberately vacated by the enemy with a little hesitation.With the mobility of the Liuyun Independent Battalion, along the avenue vacated in the middle of the chaotic battlefield, they could almost go straight to the enemy's command camp on the mountain, and won the battle in one fell swoop.However, the enemy army will not deliberately set up this wide-open formation, it is obviously a trap, and it is still high-profile targeting their Liuyun Independent Brigade, but they can't ignore it here, "Cavalry follow me! The rear of the infantry team! Show your momentum! Charge, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

Under the leadership of Captain Meissen, the 1000-man cavalry of the Liuyun Independent Brigade launched a swift charge, like Li Xuan's sword, approaching the enemy's general command camp on a mountain on the other side of the mountain one kilometer away.They galloped against the wind at such a high speed that the enemy troops fighting on both sides of the battlefield had no time to stop them. Even if the enemy suddenly regretted it now, it would be too late for the enemy troops on both sides to encircle and block them all.

The enemy lookout on the mountain in front saw the Liuyun Independent Battalion attacking in a straight line in the middle of the battlefield, and informed the thousands of archers on the top of the mountain to start shooting arrows.A branch full of Nu raised a 45-degree elevation angle and pointed it far in the direction of the Liuyun Independent Brigade, and then threw a large number of whistling Nu arrows into the air.

At this time, the Liuyun Independent Battalion is at least 900 meters away from the enemy on the mountain in front. The normal range of Nu arrows is 600 meters. 700 meters away.

The cavalrymen of the Liuyun Independent Battalion rushing to the front couldn't help laughing when they noticed the ridiculous behavior of the enemy on the mountain, which was tantamount to wasting arrows.

"No! Be careful!" Jack, who was galloping in the cavalry, suddenly noticed the danger and shouted loudly.

The rain of arrows shot by the enemy archers on the top of the mountain 900 meters away drew a long arc in the air, like a swarm of deadly poisonous bees, and descended head-on towards the cavalry of the Liuyun Independent Battalion who were charging.

It is basically not accurate for the arrows to shoot so far, but the number is there, causing more than a dozen people to scream and fall from the horses in the defenseless and lightly armored white cavalry team that is equivalent to no armor.

"What's going on?!" Joseph, the red-haired young man in the cavalry who was almost in the middle of the construction, looked at the distance between the enemy's mountain and his side in doubt. "We shouldn't be within the range of the arrows!"

Jack, who was the first to react just now and waved his trident to push away the Kichinu arrow, rode his horse and ran to Joseph, "It's the wind! The enemy took advantage of today's strong wind, and SF Express extended the range of the Nu arrow!"

"But it's still a little far away? Besides, how does the enemy know whether the strong wind will reduce or change the direction of the wind today?" Joseph was still a little puzzled.

"It's spring now, and the monsoon is blowing from west to east in the vicinity, and the wind direction and sharpness are very stable!" Jack analyzed calmly, his eyes fixed on the enemy army on the top of the mountain in the distance, "and the enemy army also took advantage of the mountainous terrain. It is not impossible to increase the maximum range of the Nu Arrow to 900 meters!"

The enemy's strategy this time is completely aimed at the Liuyun Independent Brigade. For the Liuyun Independent Brigade, which trades for speed by reducing the weight of equipment and armor, the arrow is the most restrained weapon.In this way, the enemy sent the Nu arrows 900 meters with the help of the strong wind, and continuously dropped a large number of Nu arrows, which could cause them quite heavy casualties before the Liuyun Independent Brigade rushed to the foot of the mountain.

"Those bastard mangy dogs!" Captain Meisen, who was unlucky enough to get an arrow in his arm just now, roared, and continued to lead his troops to charge with his sturdy physique, "Order! Send me orders! The infantry in the rear retreat to support the friendly troops !The rest of the cavalry rushed over with me! How could they be frightened away by mere arrows!"

When the messenger had to turn his horse's head to deliver the order, the enemy's second long-range arrow rain hit.

This time, everyone in the cavalry team was on guard. Those with shields raised their special light folding mechanism shields to defend, while those without shields simply saw the trajectory of the incoming arrow and swung their swords to block.A burst of arrows rained down, only a few soldiers were left behind because of the frightened horse Zhongjian, and the other cavalry continued to gallop against the strong wind.

The infantry of the Liuyun Independent Battalion at the rear first saw the cavalry in front being attacked by the enemy's long-range arrows, and then ran into the orderly who shouted and turned back on his horse, shouting orders, and stopped according to the captain's order. Outside the range of the enemy's range.

Captain Meissen personally led the cavalry to continue the charge despite the rain of arrows. The infantry team that was left behind followed his orders, and under the leadership of a squadron leader from the Liuyun Brigade, rushed into the melee soldiers on both sides of the battlefield.

"Die the running dog!" Charlie the thorn, who rushed to the front of the infantry team who was fighting with the enemy on the side of the raid, slashed the back of an enemy who was fighting with other soldiers from behind with his sword.

"Captain Meissen! Look at my good performance!" Holding a long-handled battle ax, Roberts rushed into the enemy's line with the other infantry. He swung the battle ax back and forth, and every two or three swings could split an enemy's skull.

【I can't always chase after Jack without thinking, I have to play the role I can! 】Remy glanced at the direction of Jack's cavalry from a distance, then followed the other infantry with his sword in hand, and charged into the enemy's formation.
