NFBE Chapter 636: War is all about courage!
Chapter 636: War is all about courage!
The city-state of Kano had no idea why Lyon was taking 300 light infantrymen up the mountain.
But many soldiers were worried about Lyon, because in their eyes, the fact that Lyon did not admit defeat was beyond their imagination.
They no longer expected Lyon to win. As people from the same city, they naturally hoped that Lyon and his men could survive.
However, this is also wishful thinking...
How could light infantry possibly defeat fully armed heavy infantry?
Others are armed to the teeth, what can they use to fight?
Lyon rushed to the top of the mountain with 300 people, and even many soldiers were not clear why Lyon did this.
But they followed subconsciously.
Among these 300 people, there are 50 archers.
These 50 archers are said to be professional archers.
In fact, they are hunters who were temporarily recruited.
Everyone quickly followed Leon to the top of the mountain.
Leon immediately began to look for anything useful on the top of the mountain.
Lyon saw five or six square stone pillars on the top of the mountain at a glance.
These stone pillars were originally used to build a new temple.
But due to the war, the work on the temple had to be stopped.
Looking at these stone pillars, Lyon's mind was working rapidly.
However, at this moment, the heavy armored infantry at the foot of the mountain also began to climb the mountain and attack.
Although their commander saw through Leon's intention, he had to kill all 300 people in order to completely destroy the morale of the Kano city-state.
But if these 300 people defend the hilltop, then the morale of our side will plummet to the bottom...
The 3000 heavily armored infantrymen looked at the steep hillside and fell into deep thought.
The centurions had excellent combat experience and naturally knew that this mountain was not easy to climb.
Then he immediately sent out 100 heavily armored soldiers as the vanguard to test the situation.
These 100 heavy armored infantrymen fought on their own at the beginning, trying to climb up by their own strength.
But I found that I was too naive.
The weight of a heavy armored soldier including his equipment is at least 220 kilograms.
Even 250 kilograms is possible.
Just this weight, plus the touching friction of the iron paint.
As expected, more than half of the 100 heavily armored soldiers fell to the ground and rolled directly down the hillside.
The other half used the cross swords in their hands to stick into the ground and climbed up step by step.
Some infantrymen from the Kano city-state wanted to use stones from the top of the mountain to hit these heavily armored soldiers.
But Lyon looked at the heavy armored soldiers, numbering no more than 50, and suddenly had an idea.
The equipment on these heavily armored soldiers seems to be quite good...
or……
The heavy armored infantry who were climbing up suddenly felt a chill on their backs, but they had no time to think about it because they were about to reach the top of the mountain.
However, these more than 40 heavy armored infantrymen finally climbed to the top of the mountain, panting, and did not even have time to form a military formation.
Lyon seized the opportunity and rushed forward with dozens of people.
While the heavy armored soldiers were still not able to react, they launched the attack first.
When the heavy infantry saw the enemy launching an attack, they all prepared to draw their cross swords to fight.
But they found that they had very little strength left...
Climbing the mountain takes too much energy...
As soon as he raised the cross sword with his sore arms, Leon and the others' attacks had already landed.
The powerful one-handed sword swung by the light infantry fell on the cross sword in the hand of the exhausted heavy infantry.
The ending is predictable...
The cross sword in the heavy armored infantryman's hand was knocked down directly.
He had no time to react and was stabbed in the throat by Leon.
The heavily armored infantryman looked at Leon in disbelief, then gripped the sword tightly, as if trying to pull it out with his hands that were losing strength.
However, the outcome was already decided, and the heavily armored infantryman finally fell down helplessly.
When the others saw this, they instantly became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
These heavy infantry are not invincible!
Dozens of light infantrymen rushed forward.
Prepare to learn from Lyon and beat him up.
But imagination is beautiful and reality is cruel.
These light infantrymen rushed forward, thinking that they could kill the enemy as easily as Leon.
However, the reality is that the light infantry who want to take advantage of his weakness to kill him are simply unable to break through the defense of the heavy armored infantry.
The heavy infantry slaughtered the light infantry as easily as slaughtering chickens.
He didn't take the light infantry seriously at all.
These light infantrymen were also helpless.
Because they had not received rigorous training and had no idea that the fatal weakness of heavy armored infantry was at the neck and joints.
Although the heavy armored infantry wore masks, they only had chain mail protection on both sides of their necks. There was simply a rope tied in the middle of the neck to fix the chain mail racks on both sides.
But it was this crack that became the breakthrough point for Lyon to kill the enemy with one strike.
These light infantry were unable to break through the heavy armored infantry's defense, and the heavy armored infantry took advantage of this gap to rest.
However, at this time, the hunters began to make their move.
As hunters who hunt in the jungle all year round, they naturally know how to maximize the value of their prey's fur.
That is to shoot the eyes of the prey.
This way you will get a complete fur.
These hunters who made a living by this craft looked at these heavily armored infantrymen, and the bows in their hands were locked on the eyes of those heavily armored infantrymen at the same time.
Masks may protect your face, but how do you protect your eyes?
One after another, cold arrows were shot from behind the light infantry and hit the eyes of the heavy armored infantry who were slaughtering the light infantry under the cover of heavy rain.
Seeing their comrades falling to the ground, these heavy infantrymen were all panicked because they saw arrows stuck in the eyes of their comrades' bodies.
The heavy armored infantry finally panicked and began to retreat.
Hunters will not let their prey go easily.
Sharp arrows were shot out, and the heavy armored infantry fled in panic. Many soldiers even jumped directly from the top of the mountain and rolled down the grass slope.
But the hunter still left behind more than 20 heavy armored infantry.
Looking at the corpses of more than 20 heavy armored infantrymen, Lyon finally showed a happy smile on his face.
Wow! More than 20 sets of nearly intact heavy infantry armor!
It is almost impossible for the opponent to attack.
Lyon immediately ordered the soldiers to strip off the armor of these heavy infantrymen.
Twenty strong men were selected and made to wear these armors.
By this time, the rain was getting heavier and the enemy commander was becoming more and more impatient.
Choose to directly order all the heavy armored infantry to rush forward and use numbers to directly push the opponent away.
Use the simplest and most brutal method to destroy the morale of the Kano city-state army!
