For example, if the weather before the battle is bad, mages of the Ra school (the school of Ra's rune magic) will temporarily summon a blazing sun to disperse the clouds in the sky.

For example, in the process of investigating the enemy's situation, the mages of the Horus School will use the famous "Eye of Horus" spell to gain insight into thousands of miles.

And these exploding stone bullets are the enchantments from the mages.

In fact, even the stone bullets were made by the masters of the Gebu School using the "Gebu Stone Sculpting Technique" after the slaves collected the stones. It is quite difficult for ordinary craftsmen to manufacture such standard stone bullets. If the bullet is not standard, then the so-called catapult calibration will not work.

However, because the enchanting effect on common materials such as stone bullets is not good, the mages must temporarily enchant them and use them on the same day.

Although troublesome, the effect of the stone bullet is self-evident.

Compared with these mages who have only studied for four years to cast spells themselves, the range of enchanted stone bullets thrown by trebuchets is much longer, plus there is enough time to prepare instead of instant casting on the battlefield, enchanted stone bullets are indeed very efficient behavior.

These enchanted stone bullets played a huge role in the previous wars that captured various Nomes. In the face of such magic artillery, the soldiers of this era had no resistance at all, and they were scared to surrender just by being frightened.

Only Melibra and his men fought back against the magic artillery.

However, in the face of Nitocris's glorious army, such a counterattack is doomed to be futile.

Seeing the enemy whose formation was scattered, completely lost its formation, and suddenly charged, Nitocris did not feel flustered by the sudden change, but her eyes lit up.

"Order, archers, three salvos!"

As the pharaoh's scepter was knocked down heavily, there were naturally guards who passed the order.

Then, the archers in the array bent their bows and arrows one after another, aiming their arrows in the air under a unified order.

The enemy was only able to enter the range of a hundred steps, and ordinary archers who wanted to hit the enemy in this range naturally had to project it.

If it was Daqin's army, it should be shouting at this time: "Feng, gale!"

That's why wind direction is really an important condition for archers.

But for Nitocris...

Behind the archer, the mages had already begun their work.

Following the orders of Nitocris, the mages of the Shu (Aeolus) school began to cast spells together.

The wind on the battlefield immediately changed, becoming the north wind blowing from behind the Pharaoh's army.

The familiar wind direction, the familiar wind force, and the cooperation between the archer troops and the mage regiment are familiar, and the archers immediately understand the strength and direction they need.

Following an order, the arrows flew towards the enemy with the help of the downwind, like locusts.

"Why are they shooting arrows at this time? Damn, how has the wind changed?"

Looking at the rain of arrows flying in front of him, Melibra was puzzled and unlucky.

However, he was completely unaware that all this was not an accident, the enemy had mastered power beyond his imagination.

The guard beside him naturally stood in front of him and erected a shield.

The arrows kept hitting the shield, making a thudding sound, and the strength of the arrows made the guard's hand tremble, but it was blocked anyway.

Unfortunately, ordinary soldiers are not as lucky as him.

Because the order to charge was given on an ad hoc basis, the line of the Heracleopolis Army had already become disorganized during the run.

The Egyptian soldiers lacked armor in the first place. Even though many of them held leather shields, such a scattered formation could not form a well-defended shield at all, and a single leather shield could not even completely defend one person.

The rain of arrows like locusts continued to fall, and many soldiers were hit by the arrows and fell to the ground screaming.

The charging formation suddenly became sparse.

"Damn, everyone, hurry up, we'll have a chance when we get close to them!"

Melibra now understands the enemy's sinister intentions. The enemy's archers and trebuchets attack alternately in order to cause the greatest damage.

The explosive stone bombs thrown by the trebuchet could not be resisted, but the number of stone bombs fired at a time was not large, and as long as the formation was sparse, it would not cause too many casualties.

However, if they want to defend against bows and arrows, they must form a dense enough formation to form a shield formation with shields.

Now that the two weapons were attacking together, Melibra was immediately caught in a dilemma.

But just after thinking about it for a moment, he was determined to continue charging in a relatively sparse formation.

At least, although the sparse formation cannot defend against bows and arrows, it can also reduce the damage of bows and arrows to a certain extent.

The army under the command of Melibra is indeed the elite trained by him. They are still charging towards the enemy despite huge casualties.

Eighty steps.

Sixty steps.

Fifty steps.

Forty steps.

Thirty steps...

Generally speaking, Egyptian armies would stop when they were thirty paces apart and shoot each other with primitive bows and arrows.

But Melibra still didn't call to stop. He knew that if he wanted to defeat his opponent in one fell swoop, he must not stop at this time.

Otherwise, when the soldiers stop focusing on the charge and have the time to pay attention to the casualties nearby, they will definitely feel hopeless and unwilling to fight because of the more than [-]% casualties now.
