Chapter 14 Fighting
Auxiliary soldiers are adults who have undergone simple military training. They have different titles in different places, such as militiamen, local guards, village guards, and recruits.
Such people are not regarded by the knights at all. Under the cover of his retinue knights, it is very easy for a regular knight to defeat a small group of local guards.
This is another level that cannot be ignored at all, because 70% of the armed forces on the Arshan continent are composed of them.
The retinue class, named after the knight retinue, a regular knight retinue, basically will follow a regular knight at the age of six or seven to learn various combat skills and non-combat skills (maintenance of weapons and armor, raising war horses, etc.) , swordsmanship, riding, etc.), the two are close to each other, they are masters and apprentices, and they are farther away, they are attendants.
People at this level are the most mixed. Those who are excellent may catch up with regular knights, but they lack physical fitness indicators. However, it is not surprising that some veterans with unique fighting skills and rich combat experience beat some young regular knights. Xiao Well, that's the category.
Then there are those who are of average level, that is, they are a little bit better than those of the auxiliary soldiers, but such people are in the minority, because the chances of the subordinates on the battlefield are much higher than those of the auxiliary soldiers. War is sustained by knights and their retinues.
Those who make up the number either let themselves grow up quickly, or they have already become weed fertilizers.
Bastille Marksman, Andis Mountaineer's Condor Archer, and Giant Bear Hunter are just established custom titles, and their strengths are very vague. There are both squires and knights, and it is difficult to accurately identify and divide them.
After all, there is no similar impartial organization in this world that conducts systematic tests on them, especially the Andes mountain people, but one thing is certain, even the retinue level is the top level, and there will be absolutely no mixed phenomenon.
After confirming that it was a great knight, Sean had no choice but to dare to do anything else. The opponent's short-distance charge was three points faster than a galloping horse. Once the opponent got close, he only had to a sword.
The remaining twelve heavy arrows all hit the big knight - smashing is just an adjective, it doesn't mean that all the heavy arrows were shot at the big knight, the slowing effect of doing so was minimal, and the opponent could easily hit the big knight. This level of arrow rain rushed over.
The targets of the twelve heavy arrows were all on Bartley, and all of them were in the rear. If the big knight didn't move, Sean's arrows would never come out. If the big knight moved, no matter whether it was attacking Sean or anyone else, Sean's heavy arrows would When it arrived, the big knight had to return to the defense.
There is only one possibility for a person who at least has the status of a powerful Lord to appear here, and that is to be the personal guard of a high-ranking nobleman. There is no doubt that Bartley is the person the other party needs to guard.
Although Xiao En couldn't do anything, the previous foreshadowing worked—the four heavy arrows shot at the Andis mountain people who carried the sliding pole.
Being able to be selected from many Andes mountain people to carry a sliding pole, no matter in stature or skill is not too bad, such Andes mountain people are the pillars of existence no matter in their homes or in villages, they must be A hunter who is not too skilled, with a thick long and heavy arrow in their hands, is a murder weapon.
Facts have proved it.
The four Andes mountain people who got the heavy arrows all broke out with above-average combat effectiveness.
The first victim was the ghost slave Heber who had just received a reward. A sharp arrow slashed his throat. Although he was still alive for a while, he clutched his neck and coughed like a toad, but in this world, A severed artery is no different from a death sentence.
Heber used his own life to prove one thing again, ghost slaves are more hated than hunting slave soldiers.
Then there are three slave soldiers, a sharpshooter, and an Andis mountain man who used his life to create a chance to kill the sharpshooter.
The fighting power of the remaining three Andes mountain people did not decrease but increased, because they all changed to a more convenient weapon.
In particular, one of them got the marksman's bow. During this period, the great knight tried to kill them again and again, but was forced back by Xiao En.
Although these mountain people did not know a single word, they all hid the great knight far away from the ghosts and ghosts that had been honed in the mountains.
After seizing the weapon, he was not in a hurry to kill the enemy, but to assist around, giving priority to assisting his own people to break free from the shackles and grab more weapons.
It's slow to say, but everything happened simultaneously. Sean used up a whole pot of heavy arrows in less than 80 seconds.
In this short period of 80 seconds, whether on the mountain ridge or on the mountain road, there were unimaginable and tragic fights.
The mountain people of Andes sang high-pitched and loud war songs, for freedom and for their compatriots, they died generously without fear, even if they had no way to bring an enemy to die before death, they would use their own flesh and blood, Hold each other firmly and create opportunities for your companions.
Teeth, stones, dead branches, even the ropes that tie them together have become their weapons to kill the enemy.
In just 80 seconds, it was completely filled with blood and death, and the number of slave soldiers was reduced by one-third. It is no longer a simple sentence to describe the heavy casualties. Previously, they broke through six Andys in a row. Si Shanmin Village, only 17 soldiers were killed or injured.
If the casualty rate of a legion reaches 5%, and the formation is still intact, this legion can already be counted as a qualified reserve legion;
If the casualty rate exceeds 10%, and the fighting spirit is still high, it is considered a regular army;
If the casualty rate exceeds 20%, and it still hasn't collapsed, it's not an exaggeration to call this legion an elite;
If the casualty rate exceeds 30%, and they are still fighting bravely, then this legion is definitely an ace legion with its own beliefs;
If the casualty rate exceeds 40% and the battle is still going on, there is only one possibility. This army has already fallen into a life and death siege and has no choice but to fight.
This is the division of the elite level of the legion by a famous general in the Arshan continent. Although there are great assumptions and idealization elements in it, everyone still agrees with this data, because the examples of the wars of the hundreds of years in Arshan In the war that hasn't strayed too far from this data.
This data seems simple, but it actually contains many problems. It contains thoughts on collective will and individual will. Most of the time, the collective will will affect the individual will, but in extreme cases, the individual will will be fed back to the collective will. , thereby affecting the whole.
Of course the hunting soldiers are not the ace army, they are not even the army, they are too mixed, including the regular knights from the Manyu army, the city defense army of the Bastille, and the hired soldiers. slave hunter.
Fighting against the wind and swarming up, there is no obvious disadvantage. Once they fall into a hard fight, especially in the close-range and chaotic battle in front of them, the disadvantages will be completely exposed.
There is no unified command, no tacit cooperation, and after being beaten, it is even more difficult to unite. The knights can't find their own followers, and the followers can't find their own knights, and they fight on their own.
Surrounded by ferocious enemies, all the screams of his companions echoed in his ears. Even the strong-willed knights were on the verge of collapse, let alone those servants and hunters.
After finding an opportunity, the first thing many people think of is not to fight back, but to flee in embarrassment. The consequence of doing so is often to die faster.
The few hunting slave squads that Benson hired with money, because the distribution of the guarding mountain folk squads is relatively clustered, and their captain is nearby, so although their combat effectiveness is the lowest, their casualties are the fewest. Riot, relying on the strong force and appeal of the captain, gathered his team together.
The selfish nature of these hunting slave squads was undoubtedly exposed at this time. Their first thought was not to expand the results of the battle, but to preserve their own strength, and began to withdraw from the battle intentionally or unintentionally.
The Bastille sharpshooters were almost wiped out - it wasn't that the Andes mountain people had negotiated in advance, but that the mountain people were best at archery. Once there was a riot, they would naturally give priority to snatching the weapons they were good at, and the sharpshooter's close combat ability was not satisfactory , such a result is naturally reasonable.
The people who performed the best were the people brought by Batley, especially the regular knights. After the initial discomfort, these people quickly showed the reason why they were called the pillars of the Arshan Continental War.
Strong physique, clean killing skills and firm will make them become rocks, sticking to the same place, unshakable. For every one killed, the Andes mountain people must pay nearly ten lives.
The only good news is that the number of regular knights is too small and the distribution is too scattered, there is no way to pose a deadly threat.
Compared with the slave soldiers, the Andis mountain people suffered even more heavy losses, and less than half of the people who could still stand were left. However, such heavy casualties not only did not break them, but made their fighting spirit even higher .
Not only because they were not prepared to survive before launching the attack, but also because many of the people lying on the ground were their close relatives, if they escaped, they would have no chance of surviving.
But from the timid eyes of the other party, they saw a glimmer of victory, and for this glimmer of glimmer, they did not hesitate to risk their lives.
Xiao En is not as optimistic as those Andis mountain people, because he has a fierce beast in human skin here. Once he loses his restraint, the other party can turn the situation around by himself. Desperate tactics are a joke in front of the opponent.
Just now he saw with his own eyes that an Andis mountain man who wanted to create an opportunity for him was split in two, and he couldn't even get close to him. What should he do to deal with such a person whose force is too disparate? There is only one way.
Covered by arrow rain, a large area covered by arrow rain, it is obvious that the Andes mountain people do not have this condition now.
Now the arrows that Sean brought are about to run out.
The jug is empty, run. Xiao En yelled violently, dragged his longbow, turned around and left without any hesitation. As for the idea of rushing out to fight the other party, it never appeared in his mind from the beginning to the end. The difference in strength is real It's too big, regardless of archery, even if you use spells, there is no chance of going all out.
