Leo was also startled. He looked up at the valley and saw Fesa and the Kobold guards dancing with joy. He shouted angrily, "You bastard, what are you doing again!!!" Unfortunately, the distance was too far and Fraser couldn't hear it at all. Fraser's combat method of using a slingshot to throw explosive barrels came from the creativity of the children of Riverbend. But Leo's consent was not obtained at all, and everyone was kept in the dark. Inspired by Leo, Fesa is tinkering with all kinds of inventions all day long. As the chief of the ogres, no one in her tribe will stop her even if something happens. Leo just felt his scalp tingling. He must discipline this dog whose thinking is becoming more and more unpredictable when he returns! Otherwise, if one day a bomb overloaded with explosives suddenly falls on your head, it will be useless to cry. However, this explosion completely caused the defeat of the Jackals. Although Leo's troops were shocked, they knew that this was Frasa's masterpiece, but the gnolls on the opposite side knew nothing. This terrorist attack was beyond their understanding and even more terrifying than the attack by the ogres. Many gnolls had already begun to run out of the valley.
The surviving gnoll leader finally stopped fantasizing about victory and began to worry about the extinction of his race. After all, the evolution of any race is centered on survival, not self-destruction. The ferocity and bloodthirstiness of the gnolls help them survive in the wilderness, but when their opponents become invincible, this ferocity and bloodthirstiness disappears quickly. It let out a long howl, and the gnolls, who had long lost their fighting spirit, abandoned their opponents and fled madly out of the valley. Since entering the valley until now, almost all the boarmen have been killed or wounded, and only about a hundred gnolls are left. But how could the wild people let them escape so easily? The wild people of Great Falls and River Bend Infantry were still okay, but the wild people of the Wolf Fang Tribe were constantly hunted by these jackals and were finally driven out of their homes and forced to leave their hometowns. It was a blood feud. Dozens of Basaka longbowmen chased and shot at the same time, and some wild hunters with empty quivers even blocked the entrance of the valley directly, trying to stop these gnolls. Many kobold guards also rushed out of the forest, shooting continuously with crossbows. They would flee in fear because they could smell the brutality and bloodthirstiness of the Jackals, but their morale would also soar because they could smell the fear of the Jackals. But the gnolls fled very quickly, and the Barsaka longbowmen had only a few arrows left, but half of the gnolls still broke through the blockade of the wild hunters and the kobold guards and escaped into the wilderness. Leo did not lead his troops in pursuit. The River Bend infantry were not as fast as the wilderness tribes, and their equipment weighed sixty or seventy pounds, so there was no way they could chase and kill the enemy. He asked the River Bend Infantry Regiment to rest on the spot, treat the wounded first, and then clean up the battlefield. The plaster bandages he made have entered the practical stage. Many villagers injured in production and construction, as well as wild people injured in hunting, have used plaster bandages as long as their injuries are related to fractures. Only the gnolls are unwilling to use it. They would rather move around with a broken leg than be regarded as a burden by their tribesmen. If it weren't for Frasa's order, according to the tradition of the Gnolls, a Gnoll with a broken bone or injured, who lost the ability to hunt or mine for a long time, would be thrown into the wilderness to fend for himself. This battle was the largest battle that everyone present had ever experienced. The River Bend coalition of more than 400 people and the Jackal coalition of nearly 600 people, totaling more than 1,000 people, could fill this small valley. The war ended with the disastrous defeat of the Wolf-Man coalition. As the most brutal race in the wilderness, the gnolls, who were feared by other races, could only end up being almost annihilated in the face of military thinking that was twenty centuries ahead of the wilderness, military formation tactics that were fifteen centuries ahead of the wilderness, and weapons and equipment that were ten centuries ahead of the wilderness.
The MVP of this round is still the Basaka longbowmen. They can shoot at least ten heavy arrows per minute, and they are precise point shots rather than aimless throws. Most of the Basaka longbowmen had two large bags of forty heavy arrows in total, but they had all been shot before the battle was over. Leo had considered this issue long before setting off. In addition to providing extra quivers for the Basaka longbowmen who were accustomed to carrying only one bag of arrows, three thousand arrows were also carried on cargo donkeys and placed at several key locations in the longbowmen's positions. It’s not that Leo doesn’t want to carry more, but there are only so many usable arrows. This is all the inventory after the arrowsmiths of the Great Falls Tribe, the Wolf Fang Tribe and the River Bend have rushed to make them. But after entering the battle, some gnolls rushed into the woods, resulting in only half of the archers having the opportunity to retrieve the placed arrows. And because of their interference, many Basaka longbowmen were unable to focus on the front battlefield and send enough arrows to the main force of the Jackals, resulting in a significant reduction in the expected casualties. According to Leo's original estimate, under the firepower coverage of more than one hundred Basaka longbowmen and more than two hundred crossbowmen, more than six hundred gnolls might not even be able to rush to the front of the River Bay Infantry Regiment! But it was not only the loss of firepower, the vitality of the Jackals also exceeded Leo's expectations. The Jackals in a frenzy were even more tenacious than the Wild Boars. As long as the head and heart are not hit, even if the body is pierced by a heavy arrow, you can still hold the weapon and continue to charge. This is not a living creature at all, it's simply a crazy zombie. If it were a human, being pierced by a heavy arrow as thick as a finger, it would be good enough if they could still breathe, let alone continue charging. Moreover, unlike the wild boars, many of the gnoll soldiers in this perennially warring tribe are equipped with combat round shields, and some leaders even wear tattered and rusty iron armor. Although these armors are already worn out, their compositions are mixed and their origins are unknown, they can still provide them with a certain degree of defense. They cannot cover the entire body, but at least they can block the vital parts and consume more of the opponent's arrows. But this is also the norm in war. Not everything can go exactly as expected. Leo can only try his best. The entire valley was filled with arrows, and every corpse of a gnoll and boar was hit by at least three arrows. Some tall and burly boarmen warriors and gnoll barbarians were targeted by concentrated fire and almost shot into hedgehogs. Under the aimed shooting of the Basaka longbowmen, the stronger the enemy, the faster he will die. Second only to the Basaka longbowmen were the crossbows of the Kobold Guards and the refugee crossbowmen, whose lethality ranked second. The main reason is that they have the largest number of people and the output environment is also comfortable. From the beginning to the end, except for some ogre guards playing hide-and-seek with the gnolls, at least two-thirds of the crossbowmen were shooting non-stop. However, the shooting speed of the crossbow is more than three times slower than that of the yew longbow, and the power of the crossbow arrows is also three times weaker. Moreover, the gnolls and refugees are not as skilled in archery as the wild people, and can only provide fire coverage. As the ogres charged into the battlefield, the crossbowmen had even less area to cover in order to avoid accidentally injuring their teammates. As for the casualties caused by the River Bend Infantry Regiment, they were only about the same as those caused by fifteen ogres. Although they attracted the attention of nearly half of the enemy, they engaged in hand-to-hand combat with more than a hundred gnolls. But the casualties caused were less than one-tenth of the total number, which is about sixty people. This is perfectly normal, as the Jackals are not fools and will not just stand there and wait to be stabbed to death by the infantry.
Some of the gnoll barbarians were able to fight for a long time even after running around with their intestines dragging around, further reducing the casualties of the infantry. In order to obey orders and maintain the shield formation, the infantrymen could not rush out to chase and kill. In order to help the front row maintain the shield formation and withstand the enemy's attack, the infantry in the back row only had time to throw javelins and rarely had the opportunity to hand out knives.
