Chapter 1182

"Everybody, get ready to fight!" Lucian. The bloody hoof looked around at the crowd, and then said in a deep voice, "the wounded protect other rabbit women and cat women, and the cat women form a guard force Luo Luo, under your command and leadership, is it all right? "

"What about you?" Luo Luo frowned, "it's not a problem that Younis and I cooperate to take others away, but the encirclement..."

"Leave your breath, and we'll find you after we break through." Lu Xiuan said in a deep voice, "moreover, the task assigned by Lord William is almost completed."

"I see." Luo Luo nodded without saying anything, "then... May the beast God protect you."

Lu Xiuan stretched out his hand and beat his left chest. He said in a deep voice, "may the beast God protect you!"

There was a loud sound, one after another.

However, compared with the orcs who basically believe in animal gods, highland elves, as a branch of highland elves, are the same ethnic group as grassland elves, so the gods they believe in include hunting goddess and spring goddess. However, due to different living habits, the vast majority of highland elves believe in the goddess of hunting, while grassland elves believe more in the goddess of spring, but it is not absolute. Therefore, highland elves are praying to the goddess of spring at this time.

"Then, act according to the combat guidelines formulated by Lord William for us." Lu Xiuan smiled, "guys, don't die so fast. I hope I can drink with you after the battle."

"Don't worry, we won't die before you." Someone laughed.

Immediately, the atmosphere of the whole team became warm, and it didn't seem like going to war at all.

After a burst of laughter, Lu Xiuan took down the horn hanging on his waist and blew it.

The old, low, dull voice sounded slowly.

Hearing the horn, everyone in the wilderness felt the boiling of blood in their bodies. A sense of dryness and heat made them very excited. At this moment, everyone felt that their bodies were full of a sense of strength. And because of this sense of power rising from the heart, they feel even more fearless. The thrill of excitement makes all of them start to roar.

Lu Xiuan nodded slightly to Luo Luo, and then led the troops to set out.

A thousand cat girls, a thousand rabbit girls and nearly a thousand wounded soldiers did not participate in the war.

The most complete combat strength is 15000 centaurs and 3000 highland elf sword dancers. Werewolves and leopards have some damage more or less, especially werewolves. In the case of non looting raids, the werewolf troops of kaffins are responsible for the frontal combat attack, so the troops led by kaffins have been under great pressure in several encounters and siege of the camp.

Five thousand werewolves were reduced by more than 700 at this time.

Luo Luo stared at Lucian and Sacchi groter and others leaving. She took a deep breath and said, "well... Let's go."

Soon, a group of 1000 cat girls dispersed rapidly in twos and threes. In each cat girl group, there must be a rabbit girl to follow, and all groups began to move in a large fan-shaped formation. Luo Luo and Younis, together with the injured werewolves and leopards, moved behind the large fan-shaped formation and quickly left the closing encirclement.

……

The encirclement circle will have deterrent power only when it is completely formed.

It's easy to break the siege.

One is to leave before the formation of the encirclement, forcing the encirclement to change or fail directly. The second is to defeat the encirclement with absolute strength, and then leave openly. The former has extremely strict requirements for speed, while the latter has extremely strict requirements for strength.

Of course, there is actually a third party.

That is, before the formation of the encirclement circle, defeat one of the teams and force the encirclement circle to fail to close successfully.

William to Lucian. In fact, they can leave before the siege is completely closed. Of course, the danger is not small. After all, the kingdom of * * * is in urgent need of a major victory, so the strength of the siege will certainly be great, which is also the reason why the kingdom of * * * directly mobilized two border defense garrisons to implement the siege plan.

But all this, in fact, has long been in William's calculation.

Therefore, William has already told Lu Xiuan about relevant action plans and coping strategies. Bloodhoof is waiting.

At this time, Lu Xiuan. The troops led by Bloodhoof are moving in the direction pointed by Luo Luo and Younis, facing the troops carrying out the siege plan.

Because both sides are close to each other, the distance between each other is constantly shortening.

But the only difference is that the army of the * * * Kingdom did not know the enemy's approach, and Lu Xiuan. Bloodhoof knows the enemy's trend at this time. Therefore, from a purely strategic point of view, Lu Xiuan at this time. Bloodhoof has the upper hand.

Soon the troops reached a plain.

At the end of Lu Xiuan's line of sight, there was a fine dust rising, just like the breeze blowing over and rolling up the fine dust on the ground.

The dust is light, and it seems that the scale of the enemy is not large. However, everyone present knows that this is because the distance between the two sides is too far. If the distance is considered, it is estimated that the number of enemy troops should be more than 20000 based on this degree of dust - the people in the wilderness have extremely accurate judgment ability to judge the scale of cavalry forces through dust.

Luo Luo's mistake in judging this force through listening does not mean that her strength is not good, but that this force is a typical walking and riding mixed force. In addition, the distance is too far, so she can only judge a general.

"Twenty thousand cavalry, and there will certainly be ten thousand to twenty thousand infantry. Will this be the main force of the enemy's siege?" Sacchi grotel frowned.

"I don't know." Lu Xiuan shook his head not very clearly, "Lord William only said several tactics that the other party may implement, and told us how to deal with it. But what kind of target we choose can only depend on our luck... But I guess it may really be the main force of the border garrison. "

"Hey, what are you afraid of? I think I've earned enough money these days!" Kaffens gave a grim smile, then moved his neck and made a crackling noise.

"Don't worry, I'll collect your body when you're dead." Atram grinned. "I'll take care of your sister, too."

"Ha ha, don't worry, I will drag you on the road when I die." Kaphens laughed. "On the way to the throne of beast God, I would be very bored without you arguing with me Besides, you need someone to accompany you when you drink in the future. "

Lucian glanced at Sacchi groter sitting on his back and said with a smile, "what do you say?"

The highland elf, who was not a low status now, smiled, took off the wine pot at his waist, looked up and took a big sip, and then handed it to Lu Xiuan. Bloody hoof. The latter was also impolite. After taking over the hand, he looked up and took a big mouthful. A lot of wine directly spilled out and flowed along Lu Xiuan's clavicle to his chest. Then he threw the wine pot and wiped his mouth: "let's go!"

The whole army continued to march forward.

But this time, they didn't rush crazy, but just kept a uniform rhythm and moved forward slowly.

The wolf people's array is at the front. Their chests fluctuate. Every time they inhale, and then exhale slowly. Their strength is constantly accumulating. The leopards swam on both sides of the werewolf array. They didn't have such an obvious and strong breathing rhythm as werewolves, but their slightly bulging chest also fully expressed the strength accumulated in their hearts; At the end is the square array of centaurs. They have taken down their bows and arrows and adjusted them while moving forward; The highland elves followed the centaurs, slightly behind the rear of the werewolf array. After all, they were not the sharp knife troops for the next battle.

The team moved forward silently, without diffuse smoke, but the momentum was particularly strong.

The human force in front is obviously a lot closer, because the diffuse smoke has gradually become obvious and strong.

The wolves showed an excited look, and they could see the enemy well with their eyes.

"It's Qingqi." Kaffens smiled grimly, "there are probably more than 10000 infantry next to him. It should be the person in charge of the search line It should be the main force. "

"You're welcome." Lu Xiuan nodded, then waved his hand, and the movement of the whole army began to accelerate in an instant.

The general strength of the border garrison Corps may not be very strong, but the scale of troops must be very large, at least about 100000. Moreover, in order to prepare for various war situations, the legions stationed at the border are generally composed of light infantry, heavy infantry, light cavalry, heavy cavalry and long-range attack arms. The main component is generally infantry. However, since they are mobilized to implement the siege plan, the main force must be light cavalry.

Because only light cavalry has enough mobility and can quickly enter the designated position of the battlefield within the specified time. However, in order to avoid the tragic destruction of light cavalry troops, they will certainly be accompanied by infantry. Generally, they are infantry legions with a combination of light and heavy. The main purpose is to quickly form a defense line after reaching the destination, and carry out search and arrest to reduce the siege.

The interceptor in front of us is Lu Xiuan. The troops in front of Bloodhoof and others are indeed the main force in charge of the encirclement network of the third border army of the * * * Kingdom, consisting of 20000 light cavalry and 15000. Behind the main force of the encirclement net is the most important 10000 heavy cavalry troops of the third border army of the kingdom of * * *, while the encirclement net forces responsible for interception in other directions are composed of 10000 to 20000 light infantry.

In addition, in another direction, the fourth border army of * * * kingdom is coming this way, and its basic composition is similar to that of the third border army.

These two border garrisons were originally used to provide emergency support in case of emergency in vangsburg, so as to delay time. As a result, this time, because William adopted a wild land force with mobility far exceeding the standard of normal human countries, he forced the two border forces to give up their original military tasks and form a siege at the first time. He must annihilate the vanguard force that has been disrupted behind the border at the first time.

In the several aristocratic territories closest to the border line, some private soldiers of the territory have been mobilized to support here. The strategic position of vangsburg is a bridgehead for William and others. Once occupied, the deterrence of the void principality against the * * * kingdom can radiate to the three nearby territories, At the same time, it forms horns with the border between Ryan Kingdom and * * * kingdom.

Any general of the * * * kingdom with a little strategic vision will not watch vangsburg fall into William's hands.

However, the first prerequisite to avoid vangsburg falling into William's hands is to solve this vanguard force first.

With the dust rising, it is impossible for the human forces to turn a blind eye.

However, the imagined panic did not appear. Perhaps as border troops, they have been used to this sudden encounter for years - especially on the plain, there is no place to hide. Once the two sides are too close, they will be directly red. Naked. Naked exposure to visual field. The only advantage that Lu Xiuan and others can take is to start charging in the enemy's field of vision. After all, the scale of the third border army of * * * kingdom is too large. Even if they want to adjust the formation, it can't be adjusted in an instant.

Wolf people, four limbs on the ground, galloping fast; The leopard man has run away from the side, bypassed a big circle and began to detour. The highland elves are very physically exhausted because of their fast running, so they temporarily ride on the back of the Centaur, and the Centaur quickly approaches the battlefield with the skills of the werewolf.

The distance between the two sides is shortening rapidly.

"Line up the guns!" In the phalanx of the human legion, a commander began to give instructions.

In the barely formed infantry square, the long gunmen standing in the front have squatted down, and then quickly raised the long gun. The tip of the gun is aimed at the running werewolf, and the end of the gun is on the ground. The infantry of other arms in the rear are also rapidly entering their combat positions according to the combat array. Although they did not expect to meet the enemy here, their good military quality does ensure that they did not collapse at the first time.

The cavalry have already adjusted their direction and are preparing to attack.

However, in the face of the forward spear forest set by the enemy, the wolves did not rush up foolishly, but ran to the left and circled a semicircle under the leadership of kafens. The centaurs, who had maintained a distance of about 100 meters from the wolves, also followed the werewolves into the battle range, about 500 meters away from the enemy's Spearman array.

"Peng!"

A strong quiver of bowstrings sounded.

Tens of thousands of arrows fell from the front to the enemy's Square in the form of full coverage attack.

Different from the conventional archers' hanging fire, the Centaur's riding and shooting technology is famous for covering attack - the front Centaur directly shoots flat, the rear Centaur will slightly raise the angle by about 15 degrees, the rear Centaur will raise the angle to 30 degrees, and the last Centaur will shoot and hang at 45 to 60 degrees, And the shooting sequence is from back to front layer by layer.

This gives people a dense illusion of covering and attacking.

Many infantry who didn't have time to respond soon fell in this wave of harvest of centaurs, especially the spearmen standing in the front. Some soldiers in the rear position and heavy infantry with shields and armor are slightly better. Others can't escape the overwhelming rain of arrows like locusts. Even if the commander is crazy shouting slogans such as raising shields and covering, the casualties are still tragic.

The formation of the Infantry Corps began to be chaotic.

Whether it's Lucian. Bloodhoof, or Sacchi groter, or kafens and atram, all orcs and highland elves have a bright sense of excitement at the moment. The field encounter of this frontal confrontation, after fully complying with the battle array skills specified by William, actually achieved such unexpected results, which they could not imagine anyway.

Because in their memory, it is the human army that has strong combat and defense capabilities, and their equipment is very sophisticated. And they usually hide in the fortifications, and they are like turtles in hard shells.

But now, in just a covered arrow rain attack, the enemy's infantry formation was confused, which made this vanguard army obtain extremely important and positive faith in an instant!

Centaur troops, while running and shooting, did not follow the werewolf's direction to the left, but quickly moved to the right side of the leopard's detour. However, this high-speed movement also has a difference in speed. The formation of the whole Centaur army began to become long, just like a silk thread constantly pulling out of the line group.

There was another quiver of bowstrings.

This time, the Centaurs shot from the right side in a straight line, which ensured that all the Centaurs could shoot directly, and there was no need to attack with full coverage as before. However, this time, because we had made preparations in advance, the casualty rate was not as high as the first coverage attack before, but the Centaurs put all their attacks on the right side, which naturally led to the pulling and deformation of the whole enemy formation.

The enemy commander finally understood how terrible the Centaur's deterrence on this battlefield was.

So without hesitation, he ordered the cavalry to charge towards the Centaur.

Almost as soon as the cavalry ran, the werewolves on the left rushed into the deformed and chaotic infantry array.

Almost all the main defense forces are concentrated on the right, so the defense on the left is relatively weak. Werewolves are famous for their strong body. Their individual strength and attack power are definitely stronger than ordinary humans. Especially when their confidence is very strong at the moment, their combat effectiveness will break out to a higher level.

Like a sharp and warm knife sliding into the butter, kaffens led his troops into the infantry square with a grim smile. Although they are still slightly inferior in number, they need to face great pressure when they rush into the square. However, it is inconceivable that the whole infantry array has no way to stop the charging and killing of these wolves, or even delay their breaking speed.

On the other hand, the light cavalry charged out at this time can't help at all - even if they are willing to help, they are also powerless in the face of the werewolves who have entered the middle of the infantry array and are almost integrated with the whole infantry array. At this time, the only thing we can do is to catch up with the Centaur army, give them heavy damage, and turn around to clean up these werewolves.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the centaurs, the highland elves on the back of the centaurs, which should be cavalry in the eyes of mankind, all turned over and dismounted, and when they turned over and dismounted, they had relied on their sensitive physical reaction ability and balance ability, While landing quickly, it also forms a unique defense array for sword dancers.

After losing the weight of the highland elves, the speed of the Centaur army suddenly increased a lot, especially the part of the Centaur that was originally backward and pulled into a straight line also accelerated the running speed, and the whole army quickly broke into pieces. However, their integration time was not long this time. Almost as soon as they were integrated, they immediately turned around and dispersed into two left and right forces, running out from both sides of the highland elf forces.

The highland elves also met the 20000 light cavalry charging forward at this moment.

Three thousand to twenty thousand.

This is an extremely wide gap. On any battlefield, all commanders know that the whole formation will be pierced sooner or later.

However, the development of reality has given the whole cavalry an unexpected deviation.

Hundreds of highland elves in the front can't stop the charge of cavalry. Even if these cavalry are light cavalry, many highland elves are still knocked away. However, the unique blood and arrogance of the wild land also made these elves try their best to leave a scar on the enemy while being hit and flying.

Therefore, when the charging strength of 20000 cavalry decreased layer by layer, until nearly 2000 highland Elves were directly or seriously injured, killed, trampled and fell to death in this war, they burst into nearly two-thirds of the cavalry forces, and then disappeared!

Their charge is completely stuck!

"Whoosh!"

A short spear came through the air and pierced a cavalry's neck.

With a look of disbelief, the cavalry slowly slipped and fell from his horse.

A sword light cleaved head-on.

A highland elf jumped with a sword, and the blade was cut from bottom to top, chopping a cavalry to the ground. However, before the highland elf landed, a lancet stabbed from the side penetrated the highland ELF's body and put him on the lancet like a string of fire. However, before the cavalry showed his joy of stabbing the enemy, the highland elf who had been stabbed through his body showed a grim smile and a backhand Sword Pierced the cavalry's heart.

Then, countless short spears were thrown out of the air.

The Centaurs on both sides have begun to attack. But this time, instead of using bows and arrows, they threw short Spears on their bodies - at a distance of less than 200 meters, for centaurs, this kind of throwing does not need to aim at at all. Their every attack can definitely make the short spear hit an enemy, and most attacks are enough to kill the enemy with one blow because of the terrible penetration of the short spear.

The circuitous leopards did not come to assist the Centaurs and highland elves. They quickly and windily entered the infantry array slightly behind the battlefield.

Although the infantry who were already dealing with the attack of the wolves expected this leopard army, the enemy commander did not adapt to the cooperation and fighting mode of these orcs. He thought that these leopard men should be similar to reserve cavalry. Even if they went into battle, they should support highland elves and centaurs to attack those light cavalry, After all, the square of the highland elves is about to be chiseled through, and once the square is chiseled through and the cavalry forces charge again, it is enough to hit the vanguard again.

Therefore, in their conventional tactical thinking, they must give priority to solving the cavalry forces that did not break into formation at the first time.

Unexpectedly, these leopards ignored the cavalry troops at all, but broke into the infantry array and formed an alternative internal and external attack with the charging wolves.

This time, the whole infantry array finally failed to withstand this two-way pressure and was completely pierced.

The werewolves who broke through the formation did not turn around like Cavalry - all the werewolves who broke out of the formation took their weapons into the wolf's mouth, then jumped forward and ran on all fours. This time, their attack target was the cavalry force, and they still broke in from the rear.

The leopard troops led by atram immediately dispersed after breaking out of the formation and directly cut the whole chaotic and incomplete infantry array in the form of small teams, so that every part of the enemy would be surrounded and attacked by two or three small teams.

This is the most common encroachment tactic used by infantry caught in white hot combat after cavalry pierced the enemy line.

Usually, once the encroachment strategy is launched by a certain party, it often means that the troops of this square array are not far from collapse.

As for the stalled cavalry, after the wolves in the rear joined the battle, the whole formation immediately became more chaotic. In particular, the werewolf's completely irregular playing method: they either jump and drop the cavalry from the horse's back, or emit the smell of wild wolves that even the war horses are afraid of, or cut the war horses and the cavalry in the field of vision with blood red eyes, or simply kill the war horses regardless of the fallen enemy.

On the battlefield, there was chaos.

Along with this chaos, the tragic bloody gas spread completely on the battlefield.
