Chapter 334: Strategy
Due to the huge area of darkness, which shrouded several kilometers, under Griffith's deliberate overcontrol, most of the Red Armor Army was enveloped by the pentagonal array of the Wave Eater. In the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info only three or four thousand Miao Miao escaped because of their loose standing positions, or rushing past or behind.
However, the darkness that appeared in vain on the battlefield made people wonder, and this huge ominous beast traversed most of the battlefield, enveloping most of the red-armored soldiers and the few Imperial troops running at the end of the line, as if swallowing into the belly.
The crowd of red and black armor couldn't help but look back, and the darkness made people feel desperate and oppressive dead silence. Many people's swords were intertwined, and even knives pierced into the palms and shoulders of others, and their spirits were taken away by the grandeur and changes in front of them, and they turned around, standing dumbfounded and overwhelmed.
However, after these 'black clouds' covered the red-armored army, the formation had been set, and the black-armored soldiers with bows and spears in their hands formed three narrow lines to block one of the sides of the pentagonal array.
The three frontal lines are staggered, and they are designed by Griffith, and they can burst out into a formation with the maximum combat strength of 3,000 people in a short period of time. The first of these three lines is a neat row of kneeling archers, holding powerful horned bows. On the ground on its right-hand side, there are three pots of glittering arrows, which can facilitate the owner to draw arrows, wind them, and draw the bow in the shortest possible time.
The second line of strikers is also a row of archers, this row of archers, who are relatively short in stature and stand slightly loosely. The bows and arrows in the hands of these people are longbows with a strength of more than 360 catties, with great strength, long range, and wide coverage.
The third line of strikers is still a full row of archers.
In addition to being tall and strong, these people's weapons and formations are almost completely replicas of the second front line. They interspersed the gaps reserved by those in front of them, and quickly drew their bows, wound them, and shot arrows......
These three neatly dressed black armor fronts came from the black clouds, and as soon as they appeared, they set up this formation with a strong desire to attack. This way of appearing is very abrupt, as if in a stage play, the curtain is opened, and the actors who have been tempered and concave after thousands of years are revealed.
So after the curtain was opened, the 3,000 soldiers who had been concave had already had a certain corresponding psychological construction after the previous two drills. After the black clouds dissipated and his eyes lit up, he saw a black light in front of him, and without saying a word, he raised the bow and arrow in his hand and shot wildly.
These men had been trained by Griffith before they went into battle, and they were told in advance that they would be in the most comfortable position to attack at will, and everyone was prepared for the situation they encountered. Moreover, the lord of the castle also said that if there were no accidents, this would be the last battle here, and that he would go home after the battle, so the only requirement was for all the people to pour out the arrows in the quiver.
Hearing these words, after several successive victories, the morale of the soldiers of Braun City rose even more arrogantly-Ya, who came here, see Lao Tzu kill you. So when the black cloud above the head just moved away, the eyes returned to light, and when they saw the black light array in front of them, these rough soldiers didn't care who the other party was, how many people there were, roared and raised their bows and arrows like a storm.
The triple front line was full of firepower, and the morale of the army was skillfully drawn and arrowed, and the locust-like raindrops, large or small, cut the parabola in the air, and plunged into the vast darkness one by one......
The darkness was like a bottomless pit, tens of thousands of soldiers were shrouded, and arrows poured into it, but quietly did not make a single ripple, like an entrance to the netherworld, making people feel cold to the bone.
The Red Armor Army, who was lucky not to be caught by the Pentagon Array, and the Imperial Army, who were desperately fleeing, twisted their necks and stared at this scene blankly. Some people's heads are turning, and their legs are still running subconsciously. However, after a few steps, he stopped again.
Such a vision alarmed many people, some of the black-armored soldiers who had run away stood on the distant hill and looked back, some were still taking advantage of the opportunity to fight, and some whispered.
Then, one of them whispered, 'But the reinforcements have arrived?!' Someone else pointed to Griffith and said, 'Probably a foreshadowing of General Pike'...... In short, this engulfing dark formation, the flying arrows like locusts in the sky, and the excellent lineup and neat black armor of Griffith's side give people reverie.
At the same time, a wind magic power staggered up a high ground, and in the chaotic battlefield where people were neighing, he grabbed a handful of earth and measured the direction of the wind, clutching a conch-shaped enchanted object tightly in his hand. In the flash of blue light, the wind magic energy in the air was mobilized, and this wind magic energy caused the wave of the hand to use a sound amplification magic called 'Doubling Technique'.
In the next second, a calm and loud voice covered the entire battlefield.
"The traitor McGee has been beheaded in the wilderness by His Highness James, and all his soldiers have been condemned. His Royal Highness knew that everyone was trapped, and his heart was very sad, but he was killing the remnants of the traitors, and he specially sent us as the vanguard to help. After His Royal Highness has taken care of the remnants of the army, he will lead an army of 100,000 to the ......"
The voice of the magic envoy fluttered in the wind, rumbling, thick and steady, full of energy: "Loyal generals of the Empire, loyal warriors of the Ophira Empire...... As a good man of the empire, he bears the expectations of tens of millions of fellow countrymen, and he should forge ahead with determination and never die!
- Now the enemy army has been controlled by our army, let me slaughter, and wait for me to make a name for yourself. The eldest husband should make immortal achievements, and he will not take it at this time......"
The rumbling sound was impassioned and resounded throughout the four fields. At this time, some people were provoked by the words and stopped to return. Then I heard the angry shouts of the army in unison: "Pass on the personal order of His Royal Highness James, on the battlefield, those who do not want to forge ahead, those who disturb the morale of the army, and those who blindly retreat - cut it down!" ”
"Brothers, take up arms and rush with me......"
A few grandiose words were carried forward by the wind spells, and the sound that spread throughout the battlefield was clear and solemn. The magic energy of the wind system made him use the power of the enchanted props in his hand to say this content three times in succession, and looked at the person in the distance before he could breathe a sigh of relief.
The exciting words fell, and the soldiers on the battlefield, you look at me, I see you are a little overwhelmed. Some of the red-armored guards, because of their overall superiority, rushed too deep, and when they heard the news that Prince McGee had been killed and the army was defeated, they were at a loss, so they put away their guns and quietly retreated.
Of course, among the rebels, there were those who were stabbed to death, and there were those who did not believe in cursing loudly, but the demon could make him ignore it, and after speaking like this three times, he went down the high ground and returned to Griffith.
To tell the truth, this magic can make the previous words of course false, nonsense throughout, and it can't even withstand too strict scrutiny - how can Prince McGee say that it is also hundreds of thousands of troops, how can he be defeated if he says defeat?!
But the army is a knife in the hands of those in power, and this knife does not need to think, it can be brainless, as long as it is sharp. Therefore, since ancient times, there are not many soldiers who understand current affairs, and there are not many who understand poetry and books, but the majority of soldiers and ruffians who are messing around and hearing the wind and rain account for the majority.
Griffith shouted before that people of insight who understand the current affairs may find bullshit and sensational, and then scoff at it, but for these people who are in the same cloud of soldiers, especially in the current dilemma and unaligned 'predicament', it is enough to tug at the heartstrings.
So, after shouting, the side of the Red Armor Army on the battlefield obviously hesitated and morale fell - heaven and earth, our boss, Prince McGee was served by others, how to play this. There's no way to live, what's the point of them struggling here? When will His Highness James's 100,000 army come, and after taking care of the defeated generals who love you, is he going to change hands and clean us up?!
Black clouds, elite soldiers, rain of arrows, and vain proclamations subtly transformed the momentum of the two warring sides. On the battlefield, it is important to be vigorous, and Griffith's heart attack technique is extremely vicious. When the other party suddenly encountered an accident, he used it to snatch his mind, which can be said to directly suck out the backbone of the spirit of the red-armored warriors outside the pentagonal array.
Even better, because of the Pentagon, those outside the formation could not see the people inside. And the people inside the formation can't see or hear what is happening outside the formation. This left Griffith to talk nonsense outside the formation, and the commander of the Red Armor Army in the formation was as blind and deaf as if he were ignorant of it. Don't even come forward to defend and clarify, and reorganize the military.
On the side of the Imperial Army, there are people who are willing to stop. Some people who still have fierce ambitions in their chests, or who believe in what the demon envoy said before, want to make meritorious deeds, and are even afraid of military law, have begun to tentatively rush back. In the distance, people who have already run away have heard the cry and tried to run back from the hillside......
But there is also a large part of it that has been broken from beginning to end, and at this time they will keep their heads in their heads, regardless of running all the way out......
There were still three or four thousand Red Armor troops outside the array, which was not much compared to the size of the twenty or thirty thousand soldiers in the Pentagon Array. But although these people's wills are slightly shaken, the momentum of the great victories of the past few days is still there, and when they fight, they are still lions that can tear people apart.
At this time, some soldiers on the side of the Black Armor were finally recalled by Griffith. If it was a male lion of three or four thousand people on the side of the Red Armor Army, he would definitely be killed and lose his armor again, and flee in defeat. The big demon's intentions, a little to save a little morale, will collapse again.
To add insult to injury, the 4,000-strong Red Armor Army happened to have a complete regimental establishment, and its command center, company commander, and even regiment commander were all alive, and it was a relatively independent combat unit.
The strength that this regimental headquarters will exert at this time is immeasurable, and it must not be something that the black armor army that has turned around and scattered sand can deal with.
Standing on the high ground and in charge of the whole situation, Griffith knows this. So he made a quick decision, ordered five hundred elite pikemen, personally took the lead in battle, and rushed to the phalanx of red armor. Be sure to break up this formation before the other party touches the Black Armor Army and defeats it!
The arrows behind him rained down, and the big demon walked at the front of the queue, the long knife in his hand was erected, and the black cloak was raised behind his back.
The two armies met, the big demon was silent, and the black blade swept away the obstacles in front of him, and plunged into the red armor group. Everyone's footsteps spun at high speed at this moment, and the sword light slashed into the black or red flesh with the sword light...... The big demon smothered his head, and the knife in his hand hissed to kill a gap, and the black armor stream that followed poured in, squeezing the gap wide, stretching it open, and dividing the entire phalanx into wounds that could not be healed.
Griffiths still put on a typical attacking formation this time - the triangle formation, this formation has been used by him many times, and there are even veterans who fought side by side with him last time, so he has enough proficiency and confidence. Everyone is not really elite, and they have not been able and have not had time to practice too complex and advanced formations, and at this moment, they are impacted down with a sharp arrow formation, although they have lost the speed bonus of their war horses, but Griffith, who has fully opened up the power realm, bears the brunt, and is stunned to open a bloody path in the opponent's military formation.
The triangular formation used by the empire was transmitted to the ancient kingdoms of the distant East, and this formation focused on impact and destruction, and when it first appeared, it was a combination of heavy cavalry and iron-blooded war horses to sweep the invincible opponents.
"A seven-foot man from the dignified empire, born to defend his family and the country, and make meritorious contributions! Pawn as a horse leather shroud, blood splattered in the enemy camp!! Where are the comrades?! Where are the 100-year-old martyrs of the empire?! Rush with me!! ”
