Heroes of the Invincible Knight Chapter 9

The Xiaoling River is the dividing line between the Hunter family and the Will family. Although the weather has turned warmer, the ice layer on the Xiaoling River is still thick. More than 5,000 people led by Viscount Will easily crossed the Xiaoling River to confront the army led by Richard.

Judging from the number of people, the Will family has an absolute advantage. The peasants and soldiers brought by Richard and the Ironwood City guards add up to no more than 3,000 people. But war has never been a game of numbers alone.

The heavily armed Richard rode on his horse to observe the other side's army formation, with Viscount Salt and Crusader Ron on either side.

"Father, what do you think?"

"What do I see? Now you are the commander. Hit me wherever you want." Viscount Sauter is very self-aware. He is not a good lord, but he is definitely a hero.

Li Cha was choked.

Richard turned his head to ask Crusader Ron a question.

Ron is very generous.

"Except for the more than 100 armored soldiers, their people are even more vulnerable than our peasants and soldiers."

Well, it seems that he has also damaged his own home.

In fact, in the world of Heroes and Invincible where Ron is located, it is a proper high-martial world. The spearmen are the bottom cannon fodder, and the crusaders like Ron are only the backbone stronger than the cannon fodder. Ron's higher vision, in fact, in the Golden Dragon Kingdom, an ordinary system spearman can definitely be called an elite soldier. Ron's combat power is comparable to that of knights, and even if he is placed in the Golden Dragon Imperial Guard in the capital, he can also be a capital commander of 500 people.

However, Ron was right about one thing. The Hunter family's peasants and soldiers were indeed stronger than the Will family's, and they were much stronger.

The Hunter family's peasants and soldiers are mainly small and wealthy self-cultivation farmers. These people have basically solved the problem of food and clothing. Now they can only ask for two things, one is more land, and the other is enough to obtain the military merit of breathing technique.

Richard has already made a promise that those who have a certain degree of military merit in battle will be given basic military breathing techniques in addition to being rewarded with land, and they will be selected into the city guards of Ironwood City.

Under Richard's rule, war merit equals more land equals the only ladder to ascending the class. In a sense, the Golden Dragon Kingdom's system that only knights can inherit the title has a taste of military merit and nobility, which ensures the combat effectiveness of the kingdom's aristocratic class. The influence of this system extended to the civilian class.

Li Cha single-handedly unleashed a monster called "Ploughing War".

The peasants and soldiers of the Hunter family lined up in a fairly neat line, and their frequent training allowed them to maintain the basic appearance of an army.

Comparatively speaking, the peasants and soldiers of the Will family on the opposite side were somewhat scattered, and they barely maintained the basic order under the restraint of the Will family's prospective knights and personal guards.

Viscount Will also noticed the difference. He frowned and did not speak. In his opinion, the peasants and soldiers were all cannon fodder used to consume the main physical strength of the opponent. The real thing worth noting was the 300-strong city guard. With several prospective knights from the Hunter family, of course, the most important one is the veteran knight Viscount Souter.

It's not a big problem for the Hunter family's peasants and soldiers to be able to fight a little bit, after all, they still have nearly double the number advantage.

At this moment, I saw Richard riding out from the Hunter's army formation, just stopped two hundred paces away, shouting something.

Viscount Will raised his riding whip and was about to go over, but he seemed to have thought of something. He put the riding whip down and motioned for another prospective knight beside him to come forward and talk.

"Now you withdraw back to Ironwood City and hand over the lumber mills and iron mines in the Ironwood Forest. Will and Hunter will continue to live in peace."

The prospective knight who stepped forward shouted to Richard, perhaps only Viscount Will knew what was true or false.

"Pity."

Seeing that it was only a prospective knight who came to shout, Richard shook his head in disappointment and made a gesture behind him.

"If you resist... uh"

The loud voice of the prospective knight of the Will family stopped abruptly.

Because five giant arrows nearly two meters long flew towards him from the Hunter's army formation. He tried hard to avoid these giant arrows, but unfortunately the arrows were too fast.

"His."

An arrow directly hit the horse's belly, and the giant arrow shot through the entire horse. The warhorse let out a whimper.

The knight on the horse was also unable to escape the disaster. He turned around to avoid the key point, and the arrow shot through his shoulder heavily. The heavy iron armor and the strong physique of the quasi-knight did not help him block this powerful arrow. , the powerful force took him off the horse, and the pierced shoulder hung on him, even if he didn't die, the arm could not be saved.

All of this was naturally arranged by Richard. The five giant arrows were sent by Hunter's bear hunting crossbow. In the past, Richard was only used to hunt bears, but now it is more valuable to shoot people.

"Roar!"

All this happened too fast, and the prospective knight who stepped forward to shout was shot off his horse in front of everyone's eyes.

The stagnation for a few seconds was broken by the cheers from Hunter's side. Although most of them didn't know the reason, they must have taken advantage when they saw someone on the other side being shot off the horse.

Although the Golden Dragon Kingdom is respected by knights, it seems that everyone does not have any chivalry spirit. They were all excited about their own sneak attack.

Only Ron and Viscount Sutter looked at each other tacitly and showed embarrassed smiles.

Seeing that the opponent was shot off the horse, Li Cha quickly turned the horse's head and returned to the formation. He didn't think about it too much, but it was a pity that the person who came out was not Viscount Will. It can not only directly lay the foundation for this victory, but also test whether the bear hunting crossbow can cause substantial damage to the knight.

On the other hand, the atmosphere on the Will family's side was a little dull.

Viscount Will was angry at first, and then turned into a little fear. He was not sure whether he could withstand such a huge arrow.

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Viscount Will waved his hand and gave the order to take the initiative to attack.

He knew that this kind of giant arrow should be able to shoot directly into his own camp. If he didn't attack, he would wait to be beaten. Although the number of giant crossbows on the other side seemed to be small, it shouldn't be very accurate if it was far away, otherwise Li Cha would not think about it. To deceive people closer. But there are too many of them. As long as UU Reading www.uukanshu.com shoots arrows at the area of their military formation, the power of that giant arrow can cause some casualties. The casualties may not be high, but only by being beaten can't fight back against morale. The blow was too great, so it's better to pounce on it as soon as possible.

"Uuuuuuuuu"

As the low-pitched horns remembered, the Will family's prospective knights and personal guards began to drive their peasants and soldiers to attack the Hunter family's army formation.

"One hundred steps!"

"Eighty steps!"

"Prepare!"

"put"

"Wind, wind, wind!"

Hundreds of arrows fell on the Weir family's army formation in a roar that sounded a little strange from the Will family.

Even if the soldiers in the front row raised their shields in time, because most of the peasants and soldiers did not have qualified armor, this wave of arrows still caused nearly a hundred casualties in an instant, and there was a sound of mourning in the Will family's army.

There were also arrows in the Will family's army formation, and several people in the Hunter family's army formation were also shot, but the casualties were too small to cause even a little disturbance.

"Go forward, don't hesitate"

"The backslider dies!"

This rain of arrows caused the peasants and soldiers of the Will family to panic, but they were still suppressed by the prospective knights and personal guards of the Will family and continued to attack the army formation of the Hunt family.

"Wind, wind, wind!"

Soon the second wave of arrows hit, and this time there were more arrows. Because the distance was close enough, many hunter-born militiamen of the Hunter family also shot arrows with hunting bows with a shorter range.

This arrow rain caused even more casualties to the Will family's army, and even many of the guards beside the prospective knights were shot to the ground.

But this time, there was no obvious disturbance in the Weir family's army formation, because the enemy was already in sight...
