Chapter 34: Small Battle (Part )
The appearance of Skaggs Island looks like a "丩" from a high altitude, divided into three parts: the north, the west and the center. The Magna clan occupies the largest part of the center. After Toren's order was issued, other settlements also began to recruit young and strong people. In the past few days, people have been rushing to the King's Hall intermittently.
Contrary to Toren's expectations, there were less than 3,500 people in the end. The losses of the Magnar clan in recent years were greater than he had imagined. In desperation, he pulled out all the old guys in their forties and fifties in the tribe, and added the soldiers of the Bolton family, barely gathering 4,000 troops.
After the troops were assembled, Torun immediately ordered an attack. Torun had no other choice, as so many people were really hungry. If the time was delayed too long, the granary would be empty, and it was likely that even the tribesmen would not be able to keep their food for the winter.
As soon as the Magna Clan took action, Liu Yuan got the news. During this period, the legion soldiers cooperated with the clan's hunters to sweep the entire northern and western parts of Skaggs Island. They wiped out a large number of Magna's looting teams and scattered poachers, which totaled more than 500 people. Only some of them were killed on the spot, and the rest were captured and taken back. They are now carrying wood.
Since the Magnars had begun to gather, Liu Yuan decided to take care of them all at once. He assembled 2,500 soldiers and selected 2,000 strong men from the vassal tribes. All of them were experienced hunters with good combat effectiveness. Both sides set up the battlefield at the foot of the central Doglo Mountain, which was a dry lake thousands of years ago. The terrain was flat, covered with fine pebbles and no grass.
It had just rained not long ago, and the humidity was very high. A light mist rose in the early morning. "Roar, roar, roar~", "Roar, roar~", "Roar, roar~" bursts of roars were accompanied by chaotic footsteps, and countless figures appeared here.
Toren Magna was wearing a bear skin. He was a little hesitant when he looked at the tribesmen nearby. There hadn't been a war of this scale on Skagos Island for hundreds of years. He didn't know how many of those tribesmen would die here. He turned his eyes to the other side. The island was not big. He knew that the other side knew that he had assembled a large force and would definitely respond. He could estimate that the two major clans could probably put together more than 2,000 people. Those pirates. Even if each ship could carry 200 people, that would only be 1,000. His side still had a great chance of winning.
As the sun rose higher, the mist gradually dissipated. "Boom!" The sudden sound of drums broke the tranquility. "Boom~Boom! Boom~Boom! Boom~Boom!" The drums of war sounded, and countless figures appeared through the mountains and forests.
Toren's eyes suddenly widened. The enemy in the front row was a black-armored soldier he had never seen before. They were fully armed, with helmets, armor, skirts, arm guards, and leg guards. The spears they held high flashed with cold light, and the large shields almost covered their entire bodies. The most terrifying thing was that there were as many as 1,500 to 1,600 such soldiers.
Behind these spearmen, new enemies appeared. Their identities were obvious. Each of them held a strange-looking bow and was wearing full body armor. The next to appear were the warriors of the two major clans. They were dressed in a messy way and had a variety of weapons.
Toren's heart sank. The number of people on the other side was obviously larger than his own, and nearly half of them were black-armored warriors. Although he didn't know where they came from, they were definitely not pirates. He had controlled the clan for so many years, so he naturally knew what it would take to train such an army. Even in Beijing, only some great nobles in Beijing had the ability to do so. The great nobles with a long history had the ability to do so.
Considering the chaos on the island caused by the intervention of the Bolton family, the Skagos became the victims of the struggle between those lords. But he had no way out now, the hatred had been planted, either he would become the final winner or die. With a wave of his hand, the crowd behind him dispersed to reveal the Bolton soldiers in the middle. Bailey walked in front with gritted teeth. It turned out that the Magna warriors beside them were holding spears, pointing directly at their backs. He understood that Torrhen was going to let them stand in the front and fight hard to have a chance of survival. Bailey glared at Torrhen fiercely and said, "Remember your promise, otherwise Lord Bolton will not let you go."
Toren: "I swear in the name of the ancestors of the Magna clan! Just go with peace of mind! Attack~" He raised his sword and pointed it at the opposite side.
Bailey put down his mask, struck his shield with his sword and shouted: "Brothers, for the honor of the Bolton family! Think about your families, pick up your weapons, do you see those bastards on the opposite side? Kill them all!" Perhaps because they were inspired by him, or perhaps because the punishment of the Bolton family was too scary, they all rushed forward howling.
The front row of Magnar warriors came out, shaking the leather ropes in their right hands vigorously. The sling is a hunting tool for the islanders and an ancient weapon with a simple structure and easy to use. Tie a leather bag in the middle of two leather belts of the same length, and put the sling in the leather bag. Grab the end of the belt and swing it over your head at a high speed. When the speed reaches the maximum on the fourth or fifth round, loosen the belt at one end, and the stone in the leather bag will be thrown out along the tangent direction.
However, when slings were used as weapons, their effects were not very obvious due to their low accuracy. Usually, a volley of more than a hundred people was used to carry out a blanket attack. The stones on the leather case were thrown out with a whistling sound, and the duck egg-sized pebbles flew like raindrops, flying a distance of 160 to 170 meters, which was already farther than the range of many bows and arrows.
Experienced hunters can use slingshots to reach a muzzle velocity of 50 to 70 meters per second. At this speed, the stone bullet can cause considerable damage even if you are wearing armor. The slingshot used has also been processed and polished to make the flight path of the rounded stones straighter and more stable. Now the dry riverbed is full of ammunition.
The heavy infantry immediately formed a shield wall similar to a tortoise shell formation, and the flying stones were bounced off once they landed on it. But it was hard to say for the people behind them, because the cavalry who were temporarily acting as archers had small round shields for protection. The clan members were in a bit of a pity, and they were beaten with bloody heads and screaming. Of course, they would not just passively take the beating, and they picked up the stones on the ground and fought back with slings. It's just throwing stones, and everyone is a hunter, so who can't do it? The slings from both sides collided in the air, smashing out bursts of powder.
Under unified command, the cavalry raised their bows and fired back. "Buzz~Buzz buzz buzz...buzz buzz" a rain of arrows flew into the air. Since most of the targets on the opposite side were unarmored, they used arc-shaped arrows or shovel-shaped arrows.
