.

A day later, the "Haimu coalition army".

This vanguard army is composed of all the elite knights of the Mulan Empire, numbering about 100,000, each of whom is a fat and strong chestnut camel.

In the Tieletai military system of the Mulan Empire, which dominated the entire Great Desert, except for the slave soldiers, there was originally no infantry; This desert empire has too many Bactrian and dromedary camels, and even ordinary civilians never lack means of transportation; It was with the camel cavalry that came and went like the wind that the Mulan people destroyed one after another desert peoples and civilized countries that were unwilling to bow down.

For Beamon, the arrival of this vanguard corps not only shows that the war has begun, but also puts a good fighter in front of Witherspoon, it depends on whether Beamon has the courage to eat the camel in the desert in one bite--- the same as the Aegean war horse, it is also divided into breeds, grades and prices, noble bloodlines, strictly trained famous camels, with soft **, fast as the wind galloping speed, even if you are on the battlefield will not be frightened, even if you are injured, you can still keep quiet.

The chestnut camel equipped by the forward army is the famous camel breed "Lancang" of the Mulan Empire, and the status of this valuable mount in the camel world is equivalent to the "Qinghai Camel" in the war horse world, each Lancang camel weighs more than half a ton, is more than two meters tall, has a thick mane, and is extremely strong.

Since the Mulan people marched into the Beamon Kingdom by sea this time, they couldn't carry too many mounts at all, so the vast majority of the Mulan soldiers who didn't have mounts became infantry after they went ashore, and they were together with the soldiers of the Sea Clan, who were also unable to use mounts on land. The infantry was rushing to Witherspoon on foot----- the speed of the infantry was comparable to a race between a tortoise and a hare compared to a Lancang camel, so invisibly, the forward corps with excellent mobility had formed a disconnect from the main force.

This is not a big fighter. It was discovered by the staff officers of Beamon, who were in charge of monitoring the "Eye of Saruman" in the Chesang Continental Combat Laboratory, that the main force of the "Haimu Coalition Army" would not be able to reach Witherspoon in at least seven days, and with the current military strength of the Northeast Province, it would be enough time to eat this 100,000-strong forward army.

The huge role of large-scale magic equipment in the war has been well verified as soon as the war begins, if it is handled according to the conventional war, and a large number of scouts are sent to slowly conduct reconnaissance, even if the same fighters can be captured, the time spent is enough for the main force of the "Haimu Alliance" to hit the door.

However, if you want to eat this camel cavalry of up to 100,000 people, you can't do it with a crooked mouth.

General Di Mulan, who was in charge of leading this forward corps, was not stupid, he was not so arrogant that he dared to attack the city with cavalry alone. After arriving at Witherspoon, the Mulan cavalry first roared around the city, surveying the surrounding terrain. While looking for any hidden enemy troops.

When all the work was done, the vanguard army set up camp thirty miles from Witherspoon in a hurry.

Bands of Rangers kept parading around the city of Witherspoon at different times, their eyes wary.

As for how to deal with these 100,000 Mulan cavalry, there are now two different opinions in Witherspoon City.

The first opinion is naturally to go out of the city to face the battle. Eat these 100,000 Mulan cavalry.

The reason is simple, if you don't take the opportunity to destroy this enemy now, wait for the main force of the opponent to arrive. Sooner or later, these Mulans would have to climb the walls to fight the Bimon warriors; If you kill them now, it will also reduce the pressure for the future; It would also be very good for Witherspoon to get their baggage, as slaughtering 100,000 camels alone would give him fresh meat, and if he could hide it in the snow-capped caves of the Emerald Mountains, it would be enough for the whole city to eat for a long time in the future.

The second opinion is to hold on and ignore the 100,000 Mulan cavalry.

And for the same good reason, the Danube was too flat to be the most suitable for cavalry combat. At present, Witherspoon is mainly infantry, and only by relying on the tall city can the enemy be killed to the greatest extent, once out of the city to face the battle, it is very likely to cause huge casualties under the impact of the Mulan cavalry! If you take another 10,000 steps back, even if the Beamon infantry has the strength to defeat the Mulan cavalry, the Mulan people can completely retreat, and with the mobility of the camel cavalry, the Beamon warriors will not be able to catch up.

Bratt Neon was a proponent of the first argument, while General Reyes insisted on the second.

Liu Zhenzhen did not participate in this kind of irrelevant discussion, anyway, he can do what he should do, as for how others deploy and plan, it is someone else's business.

"Your Majesty, your appetite is just too great! We can't eat these 100,000 camel cavalry in one bite! Although General Reyes was conservative, what he said was also true: "We lack enough cavalry now, and without cavalry, we can't hold back the opponent, and if we can't hold off the opponent, it's an empty word, and if we don't get it, we will be eaten by the opponent!" Our strength is twice as high as that of the other side, but most of us are infantry, and the Mulan people are all cavalry! Even if we have 200,000 Orephine warriors now, we can't destroy this enemy! I want their baggage too, but that's not realistic! ”

"General Fawkes, we have an incomparably glorious record in the history of Bimon in foot and horse, didn't you never learn this knowledge in military school?" The red-clothed high priest said dismissively, "Even I know the 'Heart-piercing Tactic', why did you forget it?" ”

The old gecko's "heart-piercing tactic" is an old method used by the Beamon infantry to deal with cavalry, this method of operation is simple but effective, with an elite force with excellent mobility from the flank, at the right moment to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's command system, and bite the enemy's supreme commander to the death, forcing the enemy's cavalry to return to rescue the commander.

As long as enough time can be gained, once the following Beamon infantry and enemy cavalry are strangled together to form a melee, the victory or defeat is basically decided.

"Of course I know the "heart piercing tactic"! But in that case, casualties

Death will definitely be beyond my reach, and the main force of the enemy will arrive at that time. What shall I take to defend the city? General Reyes smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you must not treat the warriors of our Northeast Province as the warriors of the Southern Province or the royal capital, the Pig Warriors can't beat the human warriors in a one-on-one situation!" ”

"You're slandering the strength of our Beamon warriors!" The old gecko immediately became angry. Although he also knew that Reyes was telling the truth, he still couldn't accept it emotionally.

"Your Majesty, as clergy, it seems that we should not interfere too much in military politics." Liu Zhenzhen really couldn't stand it, he sat on the side and listened for a long time, although he supported the opinion of the red-clothed high priest in his heart, but Reyes's words were not blindly passive to avoid war, as a guest army, he needed to remind the old gecko to pay attention to his identity, after all, Witherspoon's overall defense could not be solved by the Knights of the Temple or the Summer Palace Guard.

At this point. The human military observation group did a better job, these military senior staff members from the human kingdom never interfered indiscriminately in Witherspoon's military decision-making, Liu Zhenzhen felt that the old gecko had a layman to find an insider**. This does not bode well.

The weight of everyone's speech is different, the Divine Comedy Shaman opened his mouth, and although the red-clothed high priest still looked angry, he did not continue to dare to shout at Lao Liu like a lesson to Reyes.

"It's not that I don't want to play, Blatter. Your Majesty Richard, even if you go to war, you have to have a plan, right? Small-scale harassment and sneak attacks, even if you don't tell me to, I'll arrange it! But a big encirclement and annihilation. Even if we have enough time to implement it, think twice! General Reyes's handsome face was as red as his tail: "In any case, holding Witherspoon is our biggest task at the moment!" ”

At this point, the red-clothed high priest sighed and did not continue to raise the bar.

"Why don't you go up to the walls and observe the enemy? Maybe we'll be able to find some of the enemy's loopholes. Liu Zhenzhen saw that it was a little cold, and smiled.

The suggestion was unanimously agreed, and everyone rushed out of the room.

It was getting late, and piles of bonfires were lit in the camp of Mulan's army.

Although there is no wood in the wasteland, the dried vines are still resistant to burning. It's just that the smoke and dust are a bit big.

Witherspoon City, east and west, was already dotted with mushroom-like tents.

The neighing of camels and the unbridled laughter of the Mulan people could be heard in the warm breeze, because there was not enough timber, and the whole Mulan camp had only dug a few symbolic trenches, and there were no deer fences, no fences, and no towers.

It can be seen that these Mulan people do not believe that Beamon has the courage to attack them at all.

They also have a small number of Phantom Beast Air Force, but in the absence of the Lookout Tower, these Phantom Beast Air Force still did not take to the air to patrol, which shows their self-confidence.

In addition to the bronze lookout machine, Witherspoon's Beamon also obtained several eagle-eye sleevescopes from humans, and a group of generals of sufficient military rank took turns to observe the Mulan camp one by one, the more they looked at it, the more they felt heartwarming, and the more they looked at it, the more they felt that if they didn't teach the other party a lesson, they couldn't swallow this breath----- but their main force still had six or seven days to reach Witherspoon, why should they be arrogant?

"Your Majesty Richard, Your Majesty Putrani, your guards are equipped with a large number of aviation troops, since the spirit of the Mulan people is so lax, you might as well teach these desert humans a lesson tonight." General Reyes actually wanted to say such a thing a long time ago, relying on Witherspoon's strength alone, if he wanted to sneak attack these Mulan cavalry, he would definitely stare dryly.

"There are two dragon knights in the Mulan Empire, and one has been killed by me, I don't know if there are dragon knights in this Mulan cavalry, anyway, it's not here or in the royal capital Shabak." Liu Zhenzhen took the eagle-eyed old sleeve, and said casually while looking at it: "The Mulan people are good at throwing guns, but they are not good at bows and arrows, except for those imam mages, the only opponent of our air force in sneak attacks is their phantom beast knights, if I remember correctly, the Phantom beast armor of the Mulan people should be a "petrified pangolin" The ability to resist strikes should be good." ”

"I'd love to send out the Templars right now and teach these savage slave traders a lesson!" The red-clothed high priest shook his sleeves and didn't go back to the dungeon, needless to say, he must have arranged for the Knights of the Templar to attack the Mulans tonight.

"Your Majesty" "" General Reyes glanced weakly at the back of the red-clothed high priest. looked up at Lao Liu.

"100,000 Mulan people are nothing, if you really want to do it, my summer palace guards can settle them all!" Liu Zhenzhen waved his hand, signaling that Reyes did not need to interject: "But we are facing a protracted battle. I must knock out the opponent's bloodiness and arrogance at once, so I have an account in my heart, and it's not good to tell you more about the specifics! You just need to take care of your own army and hold this landlord city in the northeastern province! As for His Majesty's opinion, just go in the left ear and go out in the right ear, after all, Witherspoon's supreme military commander is you, not him. ”

General Reyes nodded silently.

A group of Mulan cavalry with the banner of the Silver Star and Moon Army galloped proudly under the city of Witherspoon, and the dust rolled up by the hooves of the camels filled the air in the wild shouts.

"What a sharp scimitar!" Several General Beamon and the senior staff of the Human Military Observation Group, who were standing at the head of the city, couldn't help but cheer.

Instead of using whips to drive their cars, these Mulan knights used sabers to shoot flat, and they roared and pulled out beautiful swords as they galloped. Because of the close distance, looking down from the walls of Witherspoon, the sharp saber held by the Mulan cavalry was clearly visible.

These crescent-shaped long-bladed scimitars with strange arcs. The knife posture is thick and heavy, and the blade is covered with brown-colored wonderful cloud patterns, which is very different from the cloud brocade blade patterns of ordinary Mulan war knives.

"This is a Damascus knife." It's not the first time that Liu Zhenzhen has dealt with the Mulan people: "The king of Mulan is rich

A rare Uzzi iron ore. A weapon forged from that ore is far sharper than a weapon forged from ordinary Uzi ore! It is said that in the Mulan Empire, only the best Capricorn warriors in the royal tent could possess this kind of sword. ”

As if to show off. The Mulan cavalry turned its chestnut camels around its crotch, made a great bend in the wilderness, and circled again under the city of Witherspoon; This time they showed great riding skill, and each one of them leaned over the saddle sheath, and hooked it inversely with only one foot, and the whole man was like a big bird stretched out, and the scimitar of the handle fell upside down to the ground, and galloped forward with the gallop of the chestnut camel, everywhere he went. On the ground, whether it is weeds or vines, they are all neat and silent, lying down in a line.

Although these Mulan cavalry only used the crescent moon knife in their hands to bring down a row of weeds, judging from the sharpness of the blade when they didn't even jump a single grass stalk, this kind of combat knife must also have unparalleled ferocity when decapitating.

The bearded man, the leader of the Mulan cavalry, didn't see how hard he swung his knife when he passed by the moat, only to see a flash of cold light, and after the camel team ran out a full ten meters away, the old toon tree with a huge umbrella cover by the moat was silently split into three parts, and several large sections of trunks hugged in thick and one turn thundered the ground.

"My day" Liu Zhen was angry, this toon tree is the only big tree outside Witherspoon City, it is said that it was planted four hundred years ago, under this tree, Cui Beiqian made him and Helen understand how deep they love each other, but they didn't expect that now this testimony of love was turned into nothing by the Mulan robbers.

Although several Beamon generals were not as indignant as Lao Liu, they were also a little secretly surprised by the superb sword skills of the Mulan people and the sharpness of their weapons.

The Mulan cavalry stopped their camels from within range of their bows and arrows, and laughed insolently at the city's Beamon warriors.

The laughter is still lingering, and the good fortune of the Mulan people is coming to an end.

A row of feathered arrows rained down on the spot, turning the camel cavalry, who were six hundred yards away, into hedgehogs.

Although several agile Mulan cavalry found that something was wrong, and they all picked up the turtle shell steel shield hanging on the side of the saddle to block the vital points of the body, but the sharp arrows that pierced through the stone did not care about the blocking of these shields at all, and penetrated together with the ** hidden behind the shield.

The bearded officer, who had just used his ingenious knife technique to cut off the old toon tree, had a head full of dense arrow tails, and at first glance it looked like a large cactus, sitting on the back of a camel and dangling it, but for some reason it did not fall.

The divine arrow Zheqin shot by the servants of the summer palace always maintained the posture of drawing the bow, and the bowstring "Xian Weng Xianweng, trembling, everyone in the right hand unfolded a feather arrow fan.

"Who just said they liked it? Go down and pick up two Damascus knives to collect. Liu Zhenzhen hugged his arms and looked at the Mulan cavalry who came but didn't dare to approach within six hundred yards, and laughed evilly: "I promise to be safe!" ”

Beamon was indeed Beamon, after a deafening cheer rang out from the top of the city. The gates of Witherspoon were opened.

The ropes creaked and twisted, slowly lowering the long suspension bridge.

A group of high-ranking human officers from the Military Observer Group looked at each other and stuck out their tongues at each other.

In the case of humans, at this time the soldiers must be loaded with hanging baskets and put down the city to collect the spoils. How could anyone be so bold as Beamon.

The trumpets sounded sadly, and the Mulan camp suddenly showed signs of unrest, and a large number of cavalry began to mount their camels, and groups of phantom beast knights rose into the air and pounced on Witherspoon.

The camel cavalry outside the four cities, like ants lured by honey, rushed to the south of the city, and the open gate was like a stripped-naked bride, and immediately instigated the wildness of all the Mulan soldiers in place.

"You don't have to close the gates!" Liu Zhenzhen stretched his neck and looked downstairs in the city, and pulled off his Windsor bow tie. Take off her ornate tuxedo, revealing a porcupine skin robe and a muscular chest.

"Does Your Majesty want the warriors of the Summer Palace to play hard?" General Reyes saw the Divine Comedy Shaman take a double-edged battle axe from the guard, and immediately guessed what he wanted to do.

"Conversely, being idle is also idle. Just look at it. Liu Zhenzhen put his fingers into his mouth and whistled loudly, and waved his fingers to the city, and a group of heavily armed warriors in the summer palace guards immediately rose to their feet, snorting heavily and jumping towards the staircase.

A group of senior staff members of the Human Military Observation Corps were trembling with excitement beside them, they had long heard that the Beamon warriors were good at fighting cavalry head-on. But I have never been able to see it with my own eyes, and I didn't expect that Commander Beamon had vetoed the idea of going to the battlefield in advance, and now he still has a chance to open his eyes.

Humanity and General Reyes guessed one thing wrong. Liu Zhenzhen didn't want to pull the summer palace guards into the wilderness, he was not so stupid to accept the impact of the camel cavalry.

Relying on the terrain is Fei Lengcui's consistent combat style, and this time is no exception.

Witherspoon's city gate is connected to a suspension bridge, and inward is a stone avenue, with a frontal width of about thirty-five meters, this kind of narrow strip has always been the favorite of the summer palace guards, Liu Zhenzhen just plans to block a group of summer palace soldiers at the city gate to attract Mulan people to attack.

The open gates are a big fat meat to salivate for every besieger. The so-called breaking of the city often refers to the moment of attacking the city gate; Cavalry lacking heavy siege equipment would never rush to attack a fortified city, but once the drawbridges and gates were unreservedly open in front of them, no cavalry commander with a siege mission would give it a try.

This idea of luring you into the urn is also an idea that Lao Liu just came up with on a whim.

The Magical Taibao unhurriedly climbed to the commanding heights of the castle tower, and the walls of Witherspoon were built with a large number of bell towers and towers, which were originally used by the sacrificial demon pets to fight from a high position, but now the commanding heights facing the city gates have been requisitioned by the Summer Palace Guards, except for the towers equipped with long-range bed crossbows.

Know these Mu

The Lan cavalry had no archers at all, and the summer palace servants stepped directly on the female wall and the pheasant moat, leaned out half of their bodies out of the city tower, and opened their bows and arrows to aim at the swarming Mulan cavalry.

"Attention all the porcupine warriors of the Pig Clan, this battle does not require your intervention, and at the same time, I don't need other long-range firepower assistance, you fight too hard, these Mulan bandits will retreat faster than rabbits!" Liu Zhenzhen stood on the city tower and shouted: "Today is the battle of our summer palace guards, let these robbers who can only ride camels take a look, what is force!" ”

"Boom!" ，

A mechariot grinded out of the stone avenue with a heavy noise, and under the gaze of countless stunned eyes, the two meat grinder chariots were like the impregnable snow-capped mountains of Temur Raya, firmly blocking the open city gate, and in an instant, the huge sickle and barbed rollers began to spin wildly.

Five meat grinder chariots and two mechanical gauzens form three lines of defense, and behind these war machines made of steel and crystal, there is also a group of murderous Beamon warriors waiting for them.
