Chapter 279: The Battle of Soldiers
The Flying Hoof Thunder Ox carried Webb to the desert, where he joined the army on the ground, and through the vast expanse of sand, and after a puff of dry powder scraping his cheeks, Webb came to the center of a fog that resembled a sandstorm. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After putting Webber down, Thunder Bull returned to heaven again.
"Attalus!" Finding people in the fog is not an easy task, but fortunately, although there is a whirring wind, it does not affect Webber's voice to reach the ears of others.
Following the voice, the general named Attalus found Webb's location in the mist.
"What's the matter?" For him, Weber is a new face, but since he is qualified to ride in the chariot with the king, it means that he is also a subordinate approved by the king, and naturally he also regards Weber as his own.
"The king's message, now I am in command of the army, and I ask some of your generals to assist me. "Webber didn't expect to play a role in the battle between the Great Emperor and the Hero King, and with his magical prowess, he couldn't participate in that battle at all, so instead of thinking about those things that didn't matter, it was better to command the army here to break through the tall fortress.
They were the king's army, so they naturally had to obey the king's orders, but it was normal for them to send agents during the king's battle.
Webber didn't take all the command in his hands, and while he did know a little about the Uruk Fortress, the generals were more familiar with the soldiers, and the generals who had been on the battlefield were more experienced than the war experience Webber had gained from the game.
"Understood, then I'll go tell the others about it first, and when the fog clears, we'll start the official attack. With that, Attalus turned and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Webber suddenly heard a voice in his ears, and as the voice got closer and closer, Webb hurriedly gave the first order: "Let the troops disperse first!
Even if the fog blocks the view, it does not affect the people on the Uruk City Fortress to continue to attack, they hold the prototype of the treasure in the King's Treasury, even if they can't accurately hit the target, a wide range of destructive power can also affect the opponent, and it is necessary to destroy the opponent's soldiers as much as possible before the fog dissipates, so as to have an advantage.
"Spread out! Find cover!"
In the fog, the Macedonian army scattered in three directions except for the front, and most of the soldiers chose to hide behind the dunes, which was also the right choice, and the well-trained soldiers moved very quickly, and under the indiscriminate attack of the Uruk people, they only lost a few soldiers, and then hid all their figures.
The soldiers hiding behind the dunes lay on the ground, waiting for orders, and Attalus brought the king's orders to the ears of each of the generals, who gathered and came to Webb's side.
Uruk's attack is also gradually weakening, after all, using these treasures to attack is also a big burden for them, about half an hour has passed, and the people on the city fortress have gradually stopped attacking, and if they continue to attack without a target like this, it is just a waste of energy.
When the sand and dust slowly cleared, peace had been restored to the desert, and the Macedonian soldiers hiding behind the sand dunes perfectly avoided the view of the people on the city fortress, and in the eyes of the warriors of Uruk, there were no living enemies in the desert except for the dead bodies that fell to the ground and gradually disappeared into golden particles.
"How far is it?" Hiding behind the sand dunes, Webb also crouched on the ground, discussing with the generals the next course of attack.
"It's about two kilometers, and it should only take about ten minutes to charge with all your might, but there are no obstacles in between, and the opponent's firepower is a very troublesome problem. "Receiving reports from soldiers crawling on the desert, Attalus gave a specific number.
"Then create a little obstacle, the city fortress is very large, the target is obvious, and our soldiers have a small target, just make it impossible for the other party to aim. ”
"So, still use sand?"
"Agreed. ”
After finalizing the plan with the generals, Weber finally took the place of the Emperor and gave the order: "All the army, charge." ”
The soldiers in the front dunes took up their weapons and rushed out from behind the dunes, while the men on the Uruk city fortress attacked almost simultaneously, having waited for the enemy to charge for a long time.
Countless arrows and artillery fire turned into streamers and fell on the sand, kicking up puffs of dust, although it was certain that the original soldiers were killed, but there was something different.
Scattered, the formation of the Macedonian soldiers was unusually scattered, which was almost impossible for a victorious army, and the only possible reason was deliberate.
In fact, there are not many strategies to speak of in this kind of battle in the desert, there is only one city fortress, and there are no obstacles around, so in addition to retreating troops or besieging the city, there is only one option to forcibly charge, and it is impossible to dig a tunnel from under the desert, which is unrealistic.
It is impossible to retreat, and there is no time to besiege them, wait until the opponent's food and grass are cut off before attacking, and only the charge can be chosen, how to minimize the loss of the charge is something that needs to be considered.
The result of the discussion was to disperse the charging soldiers, so that the damage could be minimized in the face of Uruk's Area of Effect Artifact, and because it was above the desert, Uruk's attack would also raise dust, so that the follow-up troops could advance under the cover of smoke.
By the time the Uruks realized this, the Macedonian soldiers had already charged two-thirds of the way and were soon about to reach the city of Uruk.
When the enemy reaches the fortress, the Uruks will not be able to attack with the Noble Phantasm, which will directly destroy the foundation of the fortress and cause the fortress to collapse, at that time, the only way to fight is to fight in the white-knuckle.
However, the most expensive thing in white-knuckle warfare is the strength of troops, and in the case that the number of Macedonian soldiers far exceeds that of the Uruks, once they are forced into the attrition of white-knuckle warfare, it is almost the end of Uruk's defeat.
So in order to prevent this from happening, Uruk's general asked Lolaia what to do.
"How do I know. Scratching her head, Lolaia found that the situation was beyond her expectations, thinking that the two servants would fight, and she would directly face Ermelo II, but she didn't expect the battle between the two to evolve into a war, even if she has great ability, she can't change the direction of a war by herself.
She didn't understand anything about the war at all, and even if she was a representative of the Law and Political Affairs Section, she had never been in contact with anything related to the war in normal times, so it was better to say that in that place in London, there was no chance of contact with the so-called war at all.
However, in this case, even if you want to think of a way, by the time Gilgamesh went to fight the conquering king, the people of Uruk had already equated Loraiya with the king's spokesman, and without her words, the Uruks would not act arbitrarily.
"Try to block the attack in one line and see if it works. He said this almost through gritted teeth, and this was the best situation that Rolaia could think of.
"Understood. ”
Under the command of the general, Uruk's attack was concentrated on a horizontal line, and the spread of sand and dust also stopped here, and the arrows and artillery fire formed a blockade in front of Uruk's fortress, and this attack lasted for about five minutes, and no Roman soldiers broke through.
Just when they thought that they were blocking the enemy's movements, new enemies appeared on both sides of the blockade line, and the Uruks could only expand the blockade line, but such actions would reduce the density of fire along the blockade line, and from time to time there would be fish protruding from the sand and dust that would slip through the net and advance across the blockade line towards the city fortress.
In the end, it is still understaffed, and although it has excellent weapons, it is difficult to stop the tide of enemies.
However, if this can be maintained, a few fish that slip through the net can still be dealt with, as long as the blockade line does not continue to extend.
Things were just as the Uruks had expected, there were no more enemies on the edge of the blockade, and there were fewer fish that slipped through the net, and the situation should have improved, but Loraiya realized that something was wrong.
It was not that all the fish that slipped through the net were wiped out, but that after the blockade was expanded, there were no more Macedonian soldiers to advance.
Before she could figure it out, the roaring Macedonian soldiers rushed out of the center of the blockade in a phalanx.
Look at the dust raised by the blockade line, a natural barrier has been formed, and what the Macedonian soldiers behind the barrier are doing, the people of Uruk have absolutely no idea.
In fact, whether it was the fish that slipped through the net or the Macedonian soldiers who appeared on both sides, they were just bait, the purpose was to allow Uruk to expand the blockade line, so that the fire network in the center would become sparse, and at this time, gather a large force and rush through it in one go, so that the losses could be minimized.
The Uruks reacted quickly, concentrating all their fire in the center almost instantaneously.
But this is exactly what the Macedonian generals expected, when the Macedonian army appeared in the center, Uruk must have concentrated all his firepower in the center, and when the first attack was fired, the Macedonian phalanx suddenly split from the center and began to move to the sides.
This is based on common sense prediction of the enemy's attack, it is almost certain that Uruk's attack will be concentrated in the central part, at this time the Macedonian phalanx suddenly dispersed, it can avoid an attack in this concentration to the greatest extent, and then it is also very close to the city fortress, only need to charge with all your strength, and the moment you reach the city fortress, it is the moment of Macedonia's victory.
It turned out that the Macedonian generals completely predicted the state of the war, which was inseparable from their vast combat experience.
Although the number of Macedonian soldiers has been reduced by half under the bombardment of Uruk, the number of this half is still far greater than that of the people of Uruk.
This will be followed by a war of attrition in close combat, which will be extremely advantageous for the Macedonian soldiers.
