Chapter 198: Changes Takes Time
The conflict in the southern region of the city evolved into a chaotic street-by-street skirmish, with the battleground extending into the labyrinth of buildings and narrow alleyways.
The tactics of the Marynku people, adept at utilizing the bow, introduced a new dimension to the warfare, causing disarray among the Nurshira defenders.
The Marynku archers’ strategic maneuvers to ascend the rooftops provided them with a vantage point, allowing them to rain down a relentless barrage of arrows upon their adversaries.
This elevated position granted them both visibility and strategic advantage, making it challenging for the defenders to adapt swiftly to this unorthodox style of combat.
The defenders of Nurshira, unaccustomed to such agile and proficient use of bows in an urban setting, struggled to counter the precise and coordinated attacks from above.
The unfamiliarity with the Marynku people’s bow skills and their ability to maneuvers swiftly across rooftops and narrow passages placed the defenders at a significant disadvantage.
And that is not all that face the defenders of the city
The horse archers of the Steppe people could adapt easily to close quarters combat.
Some of the horse archers seamlessly blended into the environment, utilizing the cover provided by buildings and structures to conceal themselves while picking off defenders with precise sniping.
Their strategic positioning and ability to hide within the urban landscape made them elusive and difficult targets, creating a sense of uncertainty and fear among the defenders.
Meanwhile, others stayed astride their horses, utilizing the animals’ speed and agility to maintain a constant flow of arrows while continuously moving.
