Chapter 201
"Fire!!!"
Accompanied by Orville's desperate shouting, sixty Valandian conscripted crossbowmen pulled the trigger in unison.
Dense crossbow arrows, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, shot out from the bowstrings.
In the blink of an eye, these crossbow arrows were like a black cloud, overwhelming the distant stronghold.
"Puff..."
"Puff..."
For a while, bursts of shrill screams rang out one after another.
One by one, the young and strong herdsmen who were shot by the crossbow arrows fell heavily from the high wall like a kite with a broken string.
Some of them were killed on the spot, and some were seriously injured, rolling and groaning in pain on the ground.
[Valandia recruited crossbowmen to kill young and strong herdsmen]
[Valandia recruited crossbowmen to kill young and strong herdsmen]
The system prompt sound kept echoing in Hod's ears, but Hod had no expression on his face.
Those young and strong herdsmen and tribal warriors who were lucky enough not to be hit by the crossbow arrows, listened to the screams from below, clenched their teeth, and their eyes were full of anger.
They roared and bent their bows and arrows, and launched a counterattack against the crossbowmen recruited by Valandia a hundred steps away.
However, due to the long distance between the two sides, and the uneven quality of the bows and arrows in the hands of these young and strong herdsmen, the arrows they shot lost their momentum after flying seventy or eighty steps, and fell to the ground powerlessly, not even touching the corners of the clothes of the crossbowmen recruited by Valandia.
This made the young and strong herdsmen and tribal warriors feel angry and cursed in their hearts.
Despicable attackers, if you have the guts, come forward and fight! ! !
Orville could not hear their voices. He just looked at the arrows falling sparsely with cold eyes, and his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a disdainful sneer.
Then he shook his head in contempt, and then continued to give orders without hesitation: "Fire!!!"
As soon as the voice fell, the second round of crossbow arrows fell from the sky like a torrential rain.
This time, the crossbow arrows came like a swarm of locusts. The number was staggering, and the density was beyond imagination. It seemed to form a large net covering the sky and the sun, covering the entire wall.
However, those Kuyer Rangers who were originally just roaming the periphery could not suppress their inner impulse after getting the permission of their respective captains, and joined the ranks of shooting.
I saw countless crossbow arrows, sharp arrows piercing the sky, falling rapidly with a sharp whistle.
They fell on the bodies of the herdsmen wearing simple fur coats and leather armor like deadly raindrops.
In an instant, blood splattered, screams rang out, and living bodies were pierced in an instant, which was a horrible sight.
The tribal leader in the stronghold saw the bodies of the tribesmen lying around, his eyes were wide open, his eyeballs were almost bulging out of his eye sockets, bloodshot covered his entire eyeballs, and his whole face became distorted and deformed due to extreme anger, which made him look particularly hideous and terrifying.
But at this moment, he knew very well that if he continued to sit and wait for death and let the enemy attack like this, it would not take long for his tribe to cease to exist under the ravages of this rain of arrows.
"Charge out!!!"
The tribal leader roared, he grabbed a strong warhorse beside him, jumped onto the saddle with agility, and raised the spiked hammer in his hand, waving it vigorously at the tribesmen to inspire their morale.
The herdsmen in the stronghold heard the tribal leader's shout, and without any hesitation, they immediately ran down the wall.
They quickly picked up various weapons, including scimitars, spears, and battle axes, and put them on the saddle hooks, then skillfully mounted their war horses.
Everyone was panting, holding bows and arrows, ready to follow the leader to charge.
At this time, the gate of the stronghold slowly opened, and several gray-haired old men worked together to push it open.
Seeing this, the tribal leader suddenly clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and the war horse felt pain, neighed, and galloped out.
Other young and strong herdsmen and tribal warriors were not to be outdone. They drove their horses and followed the leader's back closely, rushing out.
On the other side, looking at the herdsmen who suddenly disappeared on the wall, Huo De pondered for a few seconds, and then pointed slightly in the direction of the stronghold: "The enemy should be coming out, Batu, lead the rangers to defeat them!"
Batu laughed grimly and immediately took the order and left.
Batu rode his horse to the Kuyel Rangers who had finished shooting arrows and gathered in an open space. He took out a handful of silver deer from his arms and threw them on the ground.
The white silver deer scattered on the ground immediately attracted the attention of all the rangers.
"Do you want it?" Batu asked loudly with a grim smile. Lao Luoli heard it and immediately repeated it.
Wait for Lao Luoli toAfter retelling the story, Batu continued to shout: "Aren't you envious of the tribesmen who received the rewards from the leader before?"
Several raiders looked at Batu in surprise, as if they didn't expect that Batu would know this trick. Who did he learn from?
But the rangers holding bows and arrows under their hands were in a commotion.
"The enemy is about to rush out. As long as you defeat them, these are yours." Batu pointed in the direction of the stronghold and roared loudly.
The rangers looked at this scene in a daze.
Money is attractive.
Some people's breathing began to become heavy.
Don't think that these Kuyel rangers can't kill their own people. When they compete for grassland on the grassland, they are more ruthless than anyone else.
"Don't you all want to have better weapons and equipment? You all want to have new flocks of sheep and cattle? Now the opportunity is for you."
"Defeat the enemy, everything is a reward for you." Batu drew out the grassland recurve bow and raised it high.
"Defeat them!!!" One ranger couldn't help but shouted loudly in Kuyel.
"Lalani has always wanted a sheep, I'm going to bring him one this time."
"I want to eat meat, let's fight."
Several rangers were talking at once, restless, and other rangers were also infected and shouted.
"Kill!!!"
Batu turned his horse around, roared, and then urged his mount to run towards the stronghold.
The rangers, whose emotions were aroused, flushed, and followed with bows and arrows in their hands.
In an instant, there were bursts of horse hooves, and the rangers, led by Batu and other raiders, swarmed towards the stronghold.
The gate of the stronghold was just opened at this moment, and the tribal leader roared, leading the tribesmen out in a line.
Both sides were cavalry archers, and before getting close, they had raised their bows and arrows and shot at each other.
