The Andis Longbow has been touted as a bit of a miracle in the Byron League recently.

Anyone who has actually used it knows very well that this kind of longbow is relatively bulky, inconvenient to carry, and has low accuracy. If you want to carry out precise shooting or hunting, it is definitely not an excellent choice.

But when a large number of longbowmen gather into a military formation, especially when defending a city, it does have its own uniqueness, especially when there are enough arrows. Once a rain of arrows forms, the lethality it exerts is quite terrifying.

If you look down from the air, you will find that the arrow rain from Hukou Fort not only originates from the city walls and arrow towers, but also from inside the fort, and is thrown out at a large angle.

This means that it can mobilize all defensive forces.

The current garrison of Hukou Fort has reached saturation, with more than 4,300 people. Under normal conditions, only 1,500 to 1,800 are on the city wall for defense, and the rest serve as rotating reserves.

The Andis longbow is suitable for projectiles, allowing these reserves to serve as temporary longbowmen in the city, causing damage to siege personnel at medium and close ranges.

What is the concept of more than 3,000 longbowmen showing off their power at the same time?

Even if they are not professional longbowmen, they can still fire three bows within ten seconds without any problem.

Tens of thousands of sharp arrows smashed into the already chaotic Odin orc siege team, causing more damage than the black powder barrels thrown by the trebuchet.

After all, there are only eighteen trebuchets placed on top of Hukou Fort.

The operation of this thing is relatively complicated, and the rate of fire is very unsatisfactory.

Even if the shot is fully calculated, it will take more than a minute.

If the Odin Orcs can overcome the fear in their hearts and rush forward, they will discover this fatal flaw.

On average, the lethality of a black powder barrel is just that, completely within the acceptable range.

The Odin Orcs said they were defeated by the terrifying explosion power of the black powder keg, but it would be more appropriate to say they were dominated by the fear in their hearts.

No matter what the reason is, if it collapses, it will collapse.

Once it collapses, it will be difficult to gather courage again in a short period of time.

The Odin orcs who have lost their morale are no longer a group of ferocious wolves, but a group of lambs left to be slaughtered.

"Alas!" Veteran Jim looked at the Odin orcs who had left behind thousands of corpses and retreated in embarrassment. He hammered the city wall hard and let out an indignant sigh.

Among the cheers, this sigh seemed particularly harsh.

"What's wrong? Uncle Jim, we just achieved a brilliant victory, which is something to be happy about. Why are you sighing?" Jamil's face flushed with excitement.

Recruits like him are most likely to be inspired by this kind of thing.

This is definitely a brilliant victory.

From the beginning to the end, the Odin Orcs had no chance to launch a serious attack on the walls of Hukou Fort.

The death rate of the soldiers defending the city at Hukou Fort was zero. There were only a dozen unlucky ones who were accidentally shot by arrows thrown by the enemy. Most of them were not fatal. At most, they suffered a bloody head or a few broken bones.

.

The Odin orcs and wolves have amazing archery skills, but their weapons are really weak.

This naturally made them happy.

The more powerful the weapons they have in their hands, the greater their chances of surviving in a war.

"We missed a great opportunity in vain. If we had three thousand elite cavalry, no, even if you gave me one thousand, and the city gate is wide open now, follow them and kill them. It would not just be as simple as repelling their attack.

They could even trample their own formations and drive them back to the grassland like sheep. At that time, the casualties caused would not be as simple as a thousand people." Veteran Jim became more and more angry as he spoke, "What a pity!

What a pity!”

This is a rare opportunity, if you miss it.

When the Odin Orcs reorganize and attack again, it will be difficult for the black powder keg to exert its power that can shock the soul.

"No, there are tens of thousands of Odin orcs out there!" Jamil didn't believe what Jim said at all, even if the other person was a veteran of many battles.

"What do new recruits know? Only those with morale are called soldiers. Without morale, no matter how well-equipped the equipment is, they are still a group of farmers wearing armor. They know what the sheep driving tactic is?" Jim was very dissatisfied with Jamil's questioning.

"I don't know." Jamil shook his head honestly. His background and experience gave him no chance to come into contact with this area.

"The sheep-driving tactic is to drive those soldiers who have defeated them and attack their rear areas. These frightened soldiers will infect their companions with this negative emotion and let them run with them, just like a flock of sheep blindly following

The leader acted like a sheep, not knowing why he did it, which resulted in a huge collapse.

When General Pedro led the Broken Blood Cavalry to raid the Miracle Peninsula, he used this trick to the extreme, taking advantage of the fear of the herdsmen and serfs to traverse the land with millions of enemies, trampling them to death."

Jim smacked his lips, with unconcealable envy in his eyes.

Joining the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry is the biggest dream of every Broken Mouth Soldier. Although he is considered an elite, there is still a long way to go before joining the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry.

"It's a pity that we are not as powerful as the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry." Jamil still couldn't imagine what Jim said, and attributed part of the credit to the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry's own strength.

"Idiot, it's useless to tell you too much." After Jim vented his anger, he sat back under the battlements, "Now you can rest peacefully. This new weapon from the Yongye Army is better than I imagined.

The power is even greater. Now it is estimated that those Odin orcs are also discouraged. They will not muster up the courage to continue the attack for a day and a half. We cannot go out of the city to counterattack, causing them a lot of damage and giving them a chance to regroup. This war will last for a while.

It won’t be over for half a minute, there’s still more to endure later!”

"If we look at the situation just now, no matter how many Odin orcs there are, they are not enough to kill them." Jamil squatted back and followed suit.

Only then did he realize that his legs and feet were a little weak and he was trembling involuntarily.

The battle just didn't last long, but every string in his body was stretched tightly, causing a lot of waste of physical strength.

"Are your legs and feet weak? It's normal. This is what happened to everyone. It would be nice to experience it twice more." Jim threw another handful of beef jerky to Jamie Miller and started chewing on his own.

Jamil couldn't help but stare at his chest a few times. How many of these things did he carry in his arms? At critical moments, he wondered if they could be used as a layer of armor.

Jamil did not refuse the other party's kindness, because he found that this method could not only replenish his physical strength, but also distract himself, so that his spirit would not be so tense, thus relaxing his body and mind.

Jim continued: "Don't think about things so optimistically. The number of black powder barrels and long bows and arrows is limited. According to the consumption rate of the war just now, it will not last for a few days. You see, the city

Someone has already started cleaning the battlefield outside."

While they were talking, the city gate of Hukou Fort had been opened.

Hundreds of broken pulse soldiers rushed out in a swaggering manner.

The previous finishing blows harvested those Odin orcs who were not dead yet, without any intention of accepting prisoners.

Those at the back were collecting arrows, no matter whether they were intact or damaged, even the arrows from the corpse of the Odin Orc were dug out by them.

Obviously, the general of Broken Mouth Blood Castle is also preparing for a protracted war.

After all, there are too many Odin Orcs, and it is not easy to completely defeat them.

The general of Hukou Fort did not realize that there was an excellent opportunity to attack just now, but unfortunately they did not have cavalry in their hands.

If we attack with infantry, we will not be able to use the sheep-driving tactics at all. Instead, we will most likely be taken advantage of by the slow-moving Odin orcs.

The most important point of the sheep driving tactic is to try to prevent the defeated soldiers from thinking and eliminate the fear in their hearts.

This situation not only occurred in Hukou Fort, but also in the fortresses and castles that were attacked hundreds of kilometers around the Broken Kou Blood Fort. Similar situations occurred.

Faced with the new weapons added to the broken line of defense, the cannon fodder in the first wave of attacks was completely routed.

However, the Broken Line defense line lacked cavalry, and the number of troops was vastly different from that of the opponent. There was no way to take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results.

I could only watch helplessly as the Odin orcs retreated and regained their strength.

For a while, a stalemate formed.

The Odin orcs surrounded but did not fight, and the broken line of defense could only wait passively.

On the contrary, no fighting took place in the Broken Mouth Blood Fortress, the core of the entire Broken Vein Defense Line.

It's not that this place is not surrounded, on the contrary, this is where the main force of the Theodin Empire's army is located, and the essence of the entire Tiger Clan Royal Court is here.

Standing on the watchtower on the first wall of Broken Blood Castle and looking out, you can see endless cowhide tents.

Although the two sides are in a confrontation, neither is as calm as they appear.

Over the Broken Mouth Blood Castle, the messenger eagles were flying all over the sky.

Around the Theodin Empire's army, various messengers and sentries shuttled back and forth.

The broken line of defense and the scattered tribes are their tentacles stretched out, and they are competing through here.

In terms of message transmission speed alone, Theodin Empire is obviously several levels behind.

The Broken Mouth Blood Castle has received the news and made new adjustments. The news from the Theodin Empire has just been late.

No matter what important information they conveyed, it was already too late.

Even if the Broken Mouth Blood Castle is the main defense and the Theodin Empire is the main attack.

The Broken Mouth Blood Castle still took advantage of the poor intelligence and gave the Theodin Empire several hard blows.

Broken Mouth Blood Castle also has an elite cavalry team that is the best in the world.

They can't support a place like Hukou Fort that is too far away from Broken Kou Blood Fort.

But those who are closer to the Broken Mouth Blood Fortress can still go there.

Just as veteran Jim predicted, after his courage and soul were taken away by black powder.

The Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry suddenly poured out from the pass, whether there were a thousand or three thousand people, they all used the most classic sheep-driving tactics.

Those Odin orcs who fell into fear had lost their most basic judgment and could not tell how many Blood Riders there were.
