52 Marksman
Duchess Duquette has been fond of dancing with guns and sticks since she was a child. She is very familiar with weapons. She is a model in the world who does not like red clothes and loves armed weapons. Her father has no way to do anything about her, although he has always emphasized that she is a noble lady and wants more.
He wanted to learn the behavioral norms of upper-class ladies, but later found that he couldn't deal with his stubborn daughter, so he just let her go.
Therefore, the Duchess of Ducaidi has often been in the cavalry of the Ducaidi family since she was a child. She rides a horse and shoots a bow, wears armor and swings a sword. It is because of her long-term mixing with those soldiers that she understands the training of a skilled archer.
How difficult is it to get out?
The Toulon Empire's military system has a fairly clear division of labor. The army is divided into several systems such as cavalry, infantry, and archers. The major families in the empire basically cultivate their own private military systems according to the configuration of the imperial army.
The Ducaidi family's private army has a hundred archers. These archers must not only be able to use military-style bows and arrows, but also be proficient in using crossbows. Although crossbows have a shorter range than bows and arrows,
The power is limited, but this weapon has straight trajectory and higher accuracy than bows and arrows. It is a standard weapon for melee combat and city defense, and is also the main secondary weapon for archers.
However, due to the design concept, the crossbow arrows they used did not have an auxiliary crossbow opener. They relied entirely on the archers to open the crossbow in a stretched manner. Each time the crossbow was fired, they had to step on the bow body of the crossbow arrow with their feet and pull it with both hands.
The crossbow must be fired by using the strength of the waist and abdomen to lift the bow string.
Generally, a skilled archer can be rated as a very good archer if he can fire a crossbow five times in a row. After all, firing a crossbow requires the use of the strength of the waist and abdomen. Nutrition in this country is basically not up to standard, and malnutrition is a category of
In the era of normal ignorance, firing a crossbow five times was already the limit of a skilled archer.
At this time, the man in strange clothes standing in front of Belodis raised his hand and shot an arrow, then put the crossbow under his feet, stretched out his feet to step out of the ring in front of the bow, bent slightly, and raised his hand
He held the crossbow string with his hand and lifted it up, then directly loaded the crossbow. At the same time, his other hand skillfully took out a crossbow arrow from the quiver beside him and placed it on the crossbow holder. He raised his hand without aiming at all.
Just launch it directly.
It looked like her posture was free and natural, but with such a casual arrow, it was 100% sure to hit the charging orcs in front of her line, and the arrows fired hit either the chests or the necks of those orcs.
She has had close combat with these orcs, so she knows how difficult they are to deal with. Their thick leather armor and their natural animal skins naturally make their protection more than twice as strong as that of humans. Sometimes, she can slash them with all her strength.
, but it can only scratch a layer of their skin and cannot hurt their bones at all. Even if you use a powerful crossbow to deal with them in close combat, if you don't put them within ten steps
, it is simply impossible to hit them with an arrow.
She had seen these orcs with her own eyes. They were shot by their archers at a distance of thirty steps. Their bodies were full of arrows, but they could still roar and charge. It could be said that these orcs were thick-skinned and thick-skinned.
, is the nightmare of all human infantry.
In her impression, except for the king's dragoons and the heavy infantry of the Lancaster family in the south, there were basically no human troops that could withstand the charge of these orcs.
And now, about ten meters away in front of her circular formation, it turned out to be a dead line that these orcs could not cross. The more than thirty orcs who were chasing after them almost fell on that dead line one after another.
Ahead, there is no way to cross that line even half a step.
The arrows from that man and the natives behind him were splashed like a sudden storm, and the charging orcs, after knocking down the flying iron rain, immediately fell to the street and fell to the ground without continuing to charge.
Opportunity to move forward.
After watching for a while, Duchess Ducaidi also saw that the native team seemed to have a division of labor. The bows and arrows of the natives basically went towards the unarmored legs of the orcs. After the orcs were hit by arrows in their legs, either
Either throw yourself to the ground or slow down. At this time, the two elves and the strange man will complete the final killing.
The two elves' archery skills were very accurate. Each arrow was aimed at the orc's vitals, but their accuracy was still lagging behind that of the man. Basically, it took two to three arrows to kill an orc, and that strange one
The efficiency of a man is much more terrifying. He can basically kill an orc with one arrow, and it is basically guaranteed that the arrow will be missed. With such accuracy, he can definitely be called a marksman in the empire!
Arrows flying through the air one after another, coupled with the screams of the orcs who kept falling to the ground in front of the battle, this strange scene left Duchess Ducaidi stunned.
These were half-orcs with a thousand men capable of defeating tens of thousands of human troops. Ever since the war between the Toulon Empire and the half-orcs, Duchess Ducaidi had never heard of any human victory on the frontal battlefield.
The territory of Duke Ducati was the first to be invaded by the orcs. Later, she and her father ran away to the royal city of the Toulon Empire, where they also participated in the resistance organized by the king. At that time, almost all the lords in the empire brought their personal belongings with them.
The army rushed to the royal city, but what was the result?
They were still defeated in one blow. Although the human army was superior in numbers, there were only a few armies whose fighting qualities could rival those of the orcs. The final result was self-evident.
In the eyes of Duchess Ducati, this Orc squadron, which is not much different from the elite Orcs, was beaten to a pulp in front of dozens of mud-legged people. How could Duchess Ducati not let this go?
shock?
Duchess Ducaidi didn't know where that man came from, but she knew very well the natives behind him, who were the main consumer goods in the slave market of the Toulon Empire. She had led a team to the edge of the secret forest before.
Go capture these natives and take them back as slaves.
In her eyes, these natives were just a bunch of chickens and dogs, slaves as timid as mice. But now they actually fired arrows calmly in the face of those orcs, which simply subverted the duchess's imagination.
, how is this possible?
Soon, more than 30 orcs were killed in front of the Duchess's formation, and more than 20 people were killed. The remaining few turned around and ran away without looking back. This was the first time the Duchess saw the Orcs running away.
The soldiers in the circular formation where she was were greatly boosted in morale when they saw such a change. They couldn't help but shout loudly. The depression of being chased by orcs along the way seemed to be swept away at this time.
However, those orcs did not flee far, but returned to the orc team behind them that was encircling the human cavalry. Several deserters went back and said a few words to the leader, and then they could see the orc
The leader of the team turned to look towards Xiao Feng and the others.
Looking back at the human cavalry behind them, they seemed to have discovered what had happened here, and they actually used their remaining strength to break through their encirclement and ran over here.
The orc leader turned around and shouted a few words to the sixty or seventy orcs. Then those orcs did not retreat, but sat down on the spot, then began to open their packages and start eating.
After eating in three mouthfuls and drinking some water, the orcs began to form a team. Under the command of the team leader, they formed two long queues and pushed towards the direction of Xiao Feng and the others. Obviously, they did not take Xiao Feng too seriously.
Feng and the others saw this, and this time they wanted to devour Xiao Feng, the others, and the other human soldiers in one go.
The orcs were much more serious this time than before. The soldiers in the front line held thick wooden shields in their hands. The wooden shields were also covered with a layer of iron. They had relied on these wooden shields to tangle with the human cavalry before.
For a long time, without spearmen, they relied on weapons such as wooden shields, hand axes, and hammers, causing serious damage to the human cavalry. These guys reminded Xiao Feng of the heavy casualties on the battlefields of ancient Europe.
infantry.
The only difference from those tin cans is that they don't have iron armor on their bodies, but the thick leather armor, coupled with their own animal skins, provides them with protection that is probably no worse than that of iron armor.
Tall, well-muscled, and full of bloody courage, this momentum alone made these guys truly elite warriors in the era of cold weapons.
Looking at the slowly moving Orc soldiers, Xiao Feng could clearly feel the rapidly declining morale of the natives and two elves around him. It was obvious that he was just relying on the crossbows in his hands to deal with these Orc soldiers. They had nothing to do with them.
grasp.
If it had been before, Xiao Feng would have chosen to run away at this time. Although the half-orcs had poor IQ, they were not all fools. They were holding shields in their hands.
Even if he shot the arrows accurately, he was not sure that he could kill dozens of orcs rushing towards him in such a short period of time. However, when he thought of his secret weapon, he let go of his worries.
It was time to show the real 'firepower'. Xiao Feng took out the weapons previously seized from the two Russian killers from the space. The Uzi Charge was hung on his waist, and he held the Russian military standard 'Bison' submachine gun in his hand.
There are several grenades hanging on his waist.
The shape of the Bison submachine gun is more like a short AK, but the ammunition supply method is changed to a roller-type cartridge. It is similar to the domestic Type 05 submachine gun. It adheres to the consistent characteristics of Russian standard weapons. It has an ugly shape and rough workmanship, but its leather is durable.
The power is huge.
Xiao Feng had tried a gun before. Within half a minute of holding the trigger, he could shoot out all 64 bullets. The accuracy was quite guaranteed within 50 meters.
Xiao Feng did not give an order. The natives and elves beside him all tightened their grip on the bows and arrows in their hands. Some even pulled out their short weapons. They could also see that relying on bows and arrows alone might not be enough this time.
