Volume 2 The Yiren Go North Chapter 68 Scorched
"How's it going?" Alvin asked, glancing at the dusty Xia Ye.
At this time, Qiao Zhi was not there, and Alvin could only send Xia Ye to lead more than a dozen martial arts who were good at riding to act as reconnaissance posts.
"Let's fight! Let's fight!" Xia Ye gasped and said, obviously returning twenty miles from the Conston Plain.
"How many people did that old wine barrel bring?" Alvin asked after glancing at Xia Ye.
"Thirty thousand to thirty-five thousand. Xia Ye replied.
"And what about O'Nein?"
"That's about that many. ”
Alwyn nodded, the number of people on either side was about the same as he expected. He had also asked about the combat strength on both sides of the battle in advance, and it could be said that this was all within his expectations.
The only thing he was worried about now was whether the team of 600 people behind him could be able to harvest on the battlefield.
The vast majority of the six hundred newly recruited people are martial arts, and now they are all under Xia Ye's control. Only fifty magicians were assigned to Langyun's subordinates, and the level was uneven, and some could only be regarded as beginner-level magicians.
After all, time was of the essence, and it was beyond Elwin's expectations to be able to recruit so many men in Lom Town.
Although the strength of these more than 500 martial arts is relatively average, Erwin has equipped them with "Xuanwu Armor", and their defensive ability has been directly improved by dozens of grades.
This "basalt armor" was made from the armor of the Ting Xiao people's empty ships, and Alvin didn't know what it was, let alone the blacksmiths in Lom Town. So at that time they were just charging by the piece. When they really got their hands on it, the blacksmiths completely regretted it. But I can't help it, I signed the list, and I have to finish it crying. Alvin had been happy about it for a long time.
Under the "exhaustion" of these blacksmiths in the town of Lom, nearly 800 sets of armor were changed from these armors. Xia Ye and Langyun had personally experimented, whether it was a weapon attack with a sword, a sword, a halberd, an axe, a hook and fork, or a magical bombardment with various attributes such as flames, ice, and lightning strikes, this armor showed a perfect defensive effect.
The only drawback is that it is too heavy, and after wearing it, the martial artists are very inconvenient to move, and their mobility and combat effectiveness will be reduced a lot.
Of course, in these martial arts in Lom Town, there is no room for the combat effectiveness to decline.
The name "Xuanwu Armor" was also taken by Alvin, which is quite appropriate.
"Captain, when are we leaving?" asked Langyun from the side.
"Don't worry, these 30,000 people against 30,000 people will not be able to tell the winner in a while. Alvin said with a smile.
"Besides, I'll have to wait for them. Alvin finished his sentence and looked meaningfully to the east.
Langyun and Xia Ye also knew that this time it was nominally to restore the establishment of the Quartet Mercenary Group, but Erwin himself said that his real purpose was to form a church army.
Therefore, the legion flags printed and dyed this time are not the style of the original Quartet Mercenary Group, but the white-background sea pattern flag redesigned by Alwin.
Xia Ye and Langyun always wondered when they looked at Erwen's calm and calm look mixed with smug expectation.
After all, there are about 600 people on his side, even if you add the Mongolian cavalry mercenary group, there are only more than 800 people. But the opponents you can face have more than 30,000 people, even if the two sides fight to the death, this "leak" is not easy to pick up. So the two of them didn't know where Alwin's confidence came from.
Even if these two people had followed Alwyn to death in the past, they couldn't help but look solemn in the face of such a disparity in troops, and they knew that this battle would definitely not be easy to fight for a while.
Actually, what Alvin relied on

, but on the hill, in the breeze, a touch of the world's independent delicate figure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In the tense and anxious waiting on the side of Elook Valley, the bloody battle on the Constance Plains was in full swing.
After a bit of rhetoric, the two sides finally began to use the real sword.
First, Rusty Philodi led 8,000 golden-armored salamander knights to launch a cavalry charge against Onein's position.
The horse's hooves are like thunder, and the golden horse is like a front.
The overwhelming rush of the golden-armored heavy cavalry was like a golden heavy sword, wanting to plunge straight into the hinterland of the "Crazy Axe Army".
What is surprising is that Count Onein's side did not send cavalry to deal with it, that is, in the face of the opponent's cavalry charge, he planned to use infantry to force the connection.
Although it is not impossible to say that it is not impossible, when facing heavy cavalry in foot combat, they will carry anti-riding equipment such as large shields and spears.
However, the "Crazy Axe Army" has a double-sided axe in its hands, and there is no protective equipment, which is incredible.
At this time, Onein, who had retreated to the flank, looked at the row of golden cavalry coming from the mountains and seas, and was unmoved.
I saw him raise the Cold Moon Axe in his hand and roared, "Five hundred steps!"
"Three hundred steps!!"
"One Hundred Steps !!"
"Let go !!!," Aunein's impassioned cry resounded through the Axe Legion's position.
I saw the axe in his hand swing cleanly.
In an instant, thousands of flaming battle axes were thrown at his side.
These flaming battle axes, whirling in the air like a blood-red hurricane, slammed into the high-speed rushing salamander cavalry.
The red blade cut the gold armor, and the horse neighed.
A knight was cut open by a tomahawk and lost his life on the spot, but he still maintained a straight posture and sprinted forward, but the direction was 108,000 miles off, and the scene was humorous and terrifying.
More of the vanguard knights were knocked down by the tomahawks, fell off their horses, and were trampled into a mass of "iron-clad meat" by the hooves of the horses behind them.
In short, the gold-armored cavalry who rushed to the forefront were in a chaotic formation, and they looked like people were turning on their backs.
"Spread out to the sides, don't step on your own people!" Rusty, who was following the charge, hurriedly commanded in a loud voice. So the knights who rushed from the rear immediately collected the reins and scattered to the sides, so as not to trample their own knights in front to death.
Even so, once this kind of heavy armored cavalry rushes up, it is not so easy to brake. Many of the golden-armored knights who turned over and fell off their horses still died under the hooves of their own people.
The mighty charge of the Startling Salamander Mercenary Regiment was defused by a round of axe throwing attacks by the Axe Legion.
Seeing this, the old barrel McNee's face turned pale.
Fortunately, his eldest son, Rusty, did not rush to the forefront and did not become the ghost of the axe.
"That's it?" said O'Nein laughing wildly at the opposing position, then flicking the Cold Moon Axe in his hand.
"Charge !! slaughter them for me!! Count will not give up this fighter that will beat the enemy.
The Wild Axe Legion closest to the enemy received this order, and ran out of the position with bare hands like a hungry wolf with red eyes. Their flaming battle axes are still embedded in the bodies of the golden-armored knights.
At this time, the formation of the salamander golden armored cavalry was in chaos,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Some were scattered on both sides, and some had not yet risen up, so they had to rush to the battle in the face of the infantry charge of the Axe Legion.
In the position of the Crazy Axe Legion, about 10,000 people rushed out.
In an instant, they were in a battle with the golden-armored cavalry of the stunning.
Heavy cavalry like the Golden Armor Cavalry, once it loses speed and enters the stage of grinding meat with the infantry, it has no advantage at all.
These flaming axe-wielding armies are far more ferocious and nimble than the Knights in hand-to-hand combat.
Many of the knights in golden armor who were still on their horses were hooked off their horses by three or two blows from the axe, and then they were slashed and killed.
The warriors of the Crazy Axe Legion are very old-fashioned, and when they see that the other party has fallen off their horses, they don't even cut the armor that shines with golden light, and they stare at the part of the neck that the armor can't defend.
For a while, there were bursts of wails from the golden-armored knights in the front position.
Seeing that his own battle damage was getting bigger and bigger, the old barrel McNee hurriedly ordered: "Infantry charge! Save the cavalry for me!" All the crossbowmen and magicians are in the position of moving forward, shoot them in the foot, and they can't let them continue to reinforce in the rear!"
10,000 heavy infantry men dressed in gold armor began to rush into the front position in a neat formation.
Then, the sky was full of golden feather arrows, shooting straight towards the position on O'Nein's side.
The magicians of the Salamander Mercenary Regiment also began to rise into the air. Colorful magical light bullets flashed in the sky, and then they opened up wonderful rays of light and staggered into the western position.
I have to say that McNee's on-the-spot scheduling is still very good. Count Onein's side was indeed hindered by the intensive attack of bows and arrows and magic, and could not continue to send more men to the chaotic wargroup in the center.
However, in the melee between the two sides in the middle of the battlefield, McNee's side did not take advantage of anything. Even if the Startling Salamander Mercenary Regiment has already combined the Golden Armor Heavy Cavalry and the Golden Armor Infantry Combat into one place, there are about 16,000 people, and they have no upper hand in the face of the Crazy Axe Battle Regiment, which only has 12,000 people.
The Wild Axe Legion under Oonein, whose hand-to-hand combat skills are so good, no one could have imagined this. The wealthy merchants of Tyrell always thought that the nobles of Oneying were nothing more than embroidered pillows, and that in the event of a firefight, their side would be crushed.
But it backfired.
Seeing that the battle was so anxious, the Russo family and the Ferma family, who were in the rear, sent people to ask if they needed their help. But McNee refused, only replying that they should wait patiently.
McNee knew in his heart that the more than 10,000 people of Russo and Ferma had low combat effectiveness, and if they were rashly sent to the front of the melee, they might not be able to turn the tide of the battle, and they would not be able to suffer from it.
To put it bluntly, his two allies are the type that can only add icing on the cake, and it is unlikely that they will be able to send charcoal in the snow.
And as an experienced battlefield commander, it is impossible not to understand the importance of battlefield preparation. If these combat readiness are sent at this time, if the war changes, it will not even cover the retreat, and the army will be annihilated here.
Now the old barrel began to feel some remorse in his heart for despising the enemy. If he could choose again, he would not have fought this battle in such a hurry.
It's not that he's worried that he'll lose, but he understands that even if he wins, it's a miserable victory. If it is a state of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 yourself, then you will not be able to take Zantz City in one fell swoop and destroy the nobles of Oneiying.
Then the battle would be meaningless.
He was now beginning to think deeply about what his youngest son, John, had said.
