Chapter 612 In the first battle
As soon as Lindsay's sharp shout fell, the soldiers of the three squadrons immediately started to move like conditioned reflexes.
They quickly dispersed and divided into squads, using the squad as the basic combat unit, set up their shields, and drew out the battle swords around their waists.
Because it is a complex mountain to fight, long weapons such as long spears and axes are not practical in this terrain, the soldiers of these three squadrons did not carry their long swords, but only their shields and long swords.
Slowly...
The sound of swords that make people feel numb and come out of their scalp are coming one after another.
Darlena, Yara and the rest of their comrades in the 17th Battalion, 1st Squadron, 3rd Squadron, 1st Squadron, 1st Squadron, 2nd Squadron, 2nd Squadron, 2nd Squadron, 2nd Squadron.
Although the sudden rain of arrows hit was dense, it did not cause them much damage.
Lin Sai, who is experienced, has a very rich combat experience. As soon as he heard the sound of bowstrings, he immediately warned the soldiers of the three squadrons.
The soldiers were also well trained. When they just heard Lindsay's shouting, they immediately spread out and set up shields in teams.
Because the shield was set up in time and each of them was fully armed, each of them had a set of iron armor, the sudden rain of arrows did not cause them much damage.
Most of the arrows were blocked by their shields.
Even though a very small number of arrows avoided the defense of their shields and successfully shot the soldiers hiding behind the shields, these arrows failed to break the soldiers' armor due to the protection of iron armor, causing fatal damage to the soldiers.
Whoosh!
An arrow hit the edge of Darlena's shield and shot Darlena's right shoulder armor.
Seeing that Darlena was shot, Yara, who was guarding Darlena's side, immediately asked Darlena with a nervous face, "Darlena! Are you okay?"
"Ah, it's okay." Darlena said, lifting her right hand holding the sword and pulling out the arrow inserted into her right shoulder armor. "The power of this arrow is very weak. Even my armor has not been shot through, and I haven't even been scratched."
After saying that, Darlena threw the arrow on the ground casually.
Yara looked at the arrow and found that the arrow was indeed not covered with blood, so she felt relieved.
"It seems that the equipment of this mountain man is indeed very weak." Yara said to Darlena.
"Well." Darlena nodded, "If the arrow just now was shot by our crossbow or by our Britannian bow, my right hand might not be able to be used for some time later."
After being hit by the Shanman's arrow just now, Darlena felt that the Shanman's equipment was far behind that of their Britannians.
The arrow just now could only shoot wild beasts, humans without armor.
If it is to be used to deal with fully armed humans like Darlena and the others now, its power will be a little insufficient.
The imaginary enemies of the Britannian Empire have always been the Holy Hillan Empire in the north, the Frank Empire in the east, and the Rolling Empire in the south. Among them, the Frank Empire was even more mortal enemy who wanted to perish immediately.
These three empires, like the Britannian Empire, can have a complete set of equipment for arming from scratch.
Therefore, in order to deal with these three empires, the Britannian Empire developed a powerful crossbow that could penetrate iron armor and promoted it throughout the army.
Its power is not comparable to that of the mountain barbarians who can only shoot wild beasts and unarmed human bows.
As Darlena said just now, if the arrow just now was shot by the crossbow of their Britannian Empire, her right hand would not be able to be used for a long time.
As the arrow rained down, although some people were shot in an arrow like Darlena, they were too weak to break their armor, so they could not bring any fatal damage to them. At most, they were just scratched by the arrows that barely penetrated the iron armor.
As soon as the rain of arrows was over, hundreds of mountain barbarian warriors in strange costumes shouted Darlena's screams, waving the sword in their hands, flashing out of the bushes on both sides, and then pounced towards Darlena and the others like a tide.
"Here you!" Darlena shouted to her comrades beside her, and tightened the sword in her hands, ready to face the enemy.
The shouts of killing suddenly rang out in this small forest.
The smell of blood began to linger in this small woods.
A young man who was about 30 years old and had a black dot pattern on his left and right eyes and feet rushed towards Darlena with a sword in his hand.
Looking at the sword that was getting closer and closer to her head, Darlena's mind suddenly flashed through her previous training content on the training ground.
Sword swing and defense training are compulsory courses for every infantry.
Darlena raised her left arm, which had already trained her muscle memory, and grabbed the shield on her left hand to block the sword that was slashing towards her.
Her right arm, which had also developed muscle memory, held the long sword on her right hand tightly and stabbed the mountain man who was attacking her.
The mountain barbarian is not very capable. Facing the sword that was unpredictable, he suddenly dodged and avoided the stabbing.
While avoiding this stab, he waved his sword to slash at Darlena again.
The knife cut from the road was as fast as thunder, and it was in place to move forward.
But Darlena's sweat on the training ground was not in vain.
Darlena took back the sword that had just stabbed out in time and swung the sword grid to drive the Shanren's sword.
After opening the battle sword of the mountain barbarian, Darlena immediately took a step back, withdrew her sword and shield, and quickly set off her next fight.
But the Shanman staggered with the knife that was being scattered, looking at Darlena who fought with him in fear, regardless of the difference.
He never thought that a mere woman would have such strong strength.
If it was a one-on-one fight, Darlena might not be the opponent of this Shan Barbarian who has rich fighting experience.
But luckily – now is not the time to fight one-on-one.
While the Shanman was staggering with the knife that was scattered by Darlena and recovering his center of gravity, Yara, who had been guarding Darlena, saw the opportunity and rushed towards the Shanman.
Yara swayed in, slid under her feet and the ground sounded.
One flash, another flash.
The sword light of the long sword in Yara's hand flashed twice.
The Shanman avoided Yara's first slash, but did not avoid the second slash.
Yara's second record hit the left shoulder of the mountain barbarian firmly.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Although the language is not clear, the howling sounds are common in all countries and nations.
After being struck by Yara, the mountain man let out a shrill scream.
This mountain man was full of flaws at this time.
Darlena, who had temporarily forgotten her nervousness and fear, had only the idea of facing the enemy and killing the enemy, calmed down and swept forward the sword in her hand!
The sharp sword blade cut open the belly of the mountain man.
Various organs such as intestines immediately flowed out along the wound with the blood, flowing all over the ground.
Shanman, who was not willing to die like this, struggled for a while before slowly falling to the ground.
His unwilling eyes remained, and he stared at Darlena and Yara without any anger.
The slightly opened mouth flowed out of pink liquid made of blood and saliva.
Looking at the mountain barbarian who was in a very miserable state of death, Darlena and Yara's faces turned pale like snow with a "swish".
The first time they went to the battlefield, the first time they fought with the enemy, they saw the corpse for the first time.
It was also the first time I saw a corpse from their hands.
Just as Darlena and Yara were still scared by the body that was from their hands, a mountain barbarian located not far from Darlena was already waving the sword in his hand to chop at Darlena.
——Oh no!
Darlena cursed inwardly, trying to raise the sword in her hand to block the slash.
But it's too late.
It was too late for both Darlena and Yara beside her.
Chapter completed!
