Watching the Holy Light Alliance Army plunge into the battlefield one after another, rushing up the hillside and rushing towards the city wall like a death, Song Qiqi couldn't help but be surprised: "Cousin, what are the Holy Light Alliance Army doing?" I, a military layman, know that adding fuel tactics is a taboo, and investing troops in batches like this, only a few hundred people at a time, is simply sending them to death in vain! ”

"The top brass of the coalition is driving the servants to their deaths." The little dragon girl said in a deep voice: "They want to use the advantage of their strength to consume the body of the Celtic longbowmen with the servant army. Anyway, in the eyes of the high-level leaders of the Holy Light Alliance, these vassal states in the east that had just been conquered had no status at all. The lives of the soldiers of these client states are not worth even a copper in their eyes. Besides, haven't you noticed that there are no officers from the core countries of the Holy Light Alliance in these coalition forces that are charging in batches now? ”

Song Qiqi observed carefully for a while, and sure enough, she found that in the servant army that was charging wildly, there were no Westerners with high noses, deep eyes, and light hair.

Xiaolongnu said: "Look at the back of the advance base of the coalition forces under the city. A large number of coalition forces are constantly moving up and stationing at the forward bases. The coalition forces have too many troops, and our long-range firepower simply cannot prevent the coalition forces from sending back to the forward base in an endless stream.

"Obviously there are tens of thousands of reserve troops, but they only send a few hundred people to charge at a time, and they deliberately spread out the formation, so that the efficiency of our artillery and platoon guns is greatly reduced, and the Celtic longbowmen who only shoot freely can maintain efficient killing...... This was clearly sent for the Celtic longbowmen to shoot. ”

The smoothbore flintlock pistol of the second earth, unless it is a special sniper rifle that combines spiritual weapon technology, is also the same as the flintlock musket on the earth, don't think about being able to shoot accurately, you have to fire a volley of guns and cover it with a large amount of bullets to increase the probability of hitting.

Artillery against infantry, shotguns are undoubtedly the most effective. If the infantry is in formation, a shotgun will be sprayed, and a large area will be swept away. However, if the infantry is scattered, the effectiveness of the shotgun will also be greatly reduced.

The only ones who can shoot accurately and ensure lethality and speed of fire are the Celtic longbowmen.

As for the crossbowmen of other mixed legionnaires, although they can also play a big role, these cameo crossbowmen are only suitable for rain of arrows. But it would be too much of a loss to rain arrows on a large scale of a few hundred stragglers.

After all, opening a bow and a crossbow costs a lot of body. The fierce battle is still to come, and the coalition army still has tens of thousands of troops, and the crossbowmen can't afford to consume their bodies without restraint right now.

"Now that you know that the purpose of the coalition is to consume the Celtic longbowmen, why not let the longbowmen stop firing?" Ni Yuanyuan asked.

She had just seen the second round of stone projectiles of the coalition army flying into the city, and heard the sound of guns and cannons erupting from the direction of the city wall, shouting and killing, thinking that the battle had escalated violently, and rushed over, but only to see the Holy Light Alliance army constantly coming to send her to death, and she was stunned for a while.

It wasn't until she listened to Xiaolongnv's explanation that she understood the intentions of the Holy Light Alliance Army.

But she also didn't understand why the little dragon girl had clearly seen through the purpose of the Holy Light Alliance Army at a glance, but why she still allowed the Celtic longbowmen to continue to shoot and consume her body.

"It should be a basic military principle that we don't do what the enemy wants us to do, right?" Ni Yuanyuan said: "Isn't it too much of a loss to let the Celtic longbowmen consume their bodies on miscellaneous soldiers?" After all, the enemy army may have strong reinforcements, so it makes more sense for the longbowmen to save their bodies and use them against the enemy's strong troops, right? ”

Xiaolongnu said: "It's not that simple. The commander of the coalition forces made it clear that he wanted to use 80,000 servants as cannon fodder to explore the way, the purpose of which was to test our strength. If we don't put some dry goods up, how can we convince the allied commander-in-chief? The Celtic Longbowman was the first thing I put on the table.

"Seeing the Celtic longbowmen, the allied commanders will think that this is the pillar of the Great Wall that our army relies on, and the killer weapon that has been exposed can no longer be called a killer weapon. As soon as Kyle's archers come out, the wariness of the coalition against our army will surely be relaxed a bit.

"Don't look at the coalition forces rushing into the city one after another, as if they are not willing to give up if they don't reveal the strength of our army, but I'm sure that after testing out the Celtic longbowmen, the upper echelons of the coalition army are already very satisfied.

"Just imagine, if our army does not show a little bit of its true ability, and does not let the coalition forces find out a little bit of our army's details now, then after the enemy's reinforcements arrive, how can they rashly launch an attack? We will try to find out first. And if the enemy's strong reinforcements are really the five knights led by General Lei Prison, then how can we continue to hide our strength in the face of such a powerful force?

"It is inevitable that the general of Lei Prison will soon find out the details of our army. And once the details of our army are probed by the enemy, the enemy will either start a long-term confrontation with our army, or the thunder prison general will immediately leave and break through in another place. Anyway, he has other options, and he doesn't have to be with us. In that case, although we can hold the fortress steadily, we have no chance of winning big.

"Moreover, if I throw out the Celtic longbowmen now to fight the miscellaneous soldiers, it will also make the coalition high-level contempt for our commanders, thinking that our commanders do not know how to seize fighters and waste important combat power on miscellaneous soldiers. In this way, the coalition forces will despise our army even more. ”

Speaking of this, Xiaolongnu smiled slightly and said, "Li Qing's strategy is to bully the enemy and weaken it. I have made it clear that I am strong, but I am doing the policy of showing weakness with strength. If the enemy's top brass thinks that our army's trump card has been released, and the command level of the top brass is average, then when General Lei Jian arrives with his army, there is a great chance that he will not be tempted, and will directly assault the whole army and strike a thunderous blow. In that case, it will be our chance to stand out and win! ”

After listening to Xiaolongnu's explanation, Ni Yuanyuan and the others realized that Xiaolongnu's purpose was to try to make the enemy's reinforcements arrive without temptation and attack directly. In this way, Su Su and Li Qing, who are hiding their strength, can play a strange role.

And if you don't expose a certain amount of strength and don't play a few good cards to hook up the coalition army, then after the arrival of General Lei Prison, I am afraid that he will not attack rashly.

Once the other party does not attack rashly and makes a few temptations, then under the strong pressure of the Thunder Prison General and the Five Guardian Knights, the big bombs composed of Su Su and Li Qing, the two big and small kings, will not be able to hide. You have to hold the pressure with your hands.

In order to hide bigger hole cards, the Celtic longbowmen had to be exposed.

Not only the Celtic longbowmen, but also the powerful forces of the Tyron hoplites and the Hult crossbowmen will also be slowly displayed in the subsequent battles.

Only by showing more strong troops, the more the coalition forces will think that they have found out the truth about the strength of the imperial army, and the more likely they will be to guide the upcoming reinforcements of the coalition army and step headlong into the big pit dug by Li Qing and them.

Therefore, the little dragon girl let the Celtic longbowmen shoot continuously. When they had exhausted a certain amount of energy and stopped shooting, without this projection firepower, which was the mainstay at a distance of 200 meters, the Holy Light Alliance army could quickly reach the bottom of the wall, set up a ladder, and ascend to the city to fight.

At that time, it was time for the Tailong heavy infantry to show their might. Two hundred Hot crossbowmen can also give the Holy Light Alliance servants a taste of the submachine gun-like Hult repeater in close combat.

First there were Celtic longbowmen, then Tailong heavy infantry, and then Hott crossbowmen, and the elite forces of long, medium and short range were all displayed, and I believe that by that time, no matter how suspicious the commander of the coalition army was, he would not suspect that the Imperial Army still had a stronger hidden strength.

In that case, the chance of victory really appears.

At the same time, a long snake-like team was marching rapidly on a mountain road winding through the mountains.

In the team, this conversation is happening at this time:

"Your Highness, there is information from the front, and it has been found that there are five hundred Celtic longbowmen in the imperial army. Judging from their archery skills, they should all be the remnants of the former Celtic royal guards. ”

"Five hundred Celtic royal guards? Oh, interesting. Which Imperial general has such a big face that the Southern Theater of the Empire can assign the Celtic Royal Janissaries to him for command? Has the identity of the Imperial Commander been identified? ”

"The exact identity has not yet been inquired, but at the beginning of the war, there were two imperial major generals, a man and a woman, who commanded the city. Intelligence specifically states that they are all young, only in their early twenties. Later, our heavy artillery opened fire, and the shells hit the city, and the male major general was frightened and quickly left his post. Now only the female major general remained in command of the city. The female major general had shot once, and she should have the strength of a high-level combat position. That is, the strength of the strong of the Imperial Pillar State. ”

"Two young major generals in their early twenties? Who's in charge and who's secondary? ”

"Judging from the position of the male major general before leaving, it should be the male major general."

"The main general is cowardly and incompetent, and the adjutant general has good personal strength, but he prematurely exposed the Celtic royal janissaries, and his military talent is limited. Judging from his age, he should be the son of two families, and the family power is not small, so that the Southern Theater can assign powerful subordinates to him, and assign a defensive line with a dangerous pass to make him gain military merits...... If it is a normal situation, there is a strong subordinate and a dangerous pass, even if two wastes are in charge, they can hold the level. But now, heh. ”

"Your Highness is very true. With His Royal Highness personally fighting, the level is not to mention that it is two wastes, even if it is a famous leader with a strong army, it is difficult to resist His Highness's thunderous blow. What about strong soldiers? Can you stop the legions under His Highness? What about Celtic longbowmen? Back then, the Celtic Kingdom had 100,000 longbows and 3,000 janissaries, and it wasn't destroyed by our big alliance? It's ridiculous that the empire has never seen a real strong army, and it thinks that with Celtic longbowmen guarding the level, it can be undefeated. It's ridiculous. ”

"The strength of the empire is still good. To be able to resist our entire alliance with one country, and not lose so far, the soldiers of the empire are also worthy of admiration. By the way, in the intelligence, is there any mention of the composition of the melee units of the Imperial defenders? ”

"This ...... Not yet. However, the front line is driving the servant army, launching a seamless charge to wear down the body of the Celtic longbowmen. When the Celtic longbowmen are depleted, they will be able to reach the city walls and enter the city in close combat. At that time, the Imperial melee class should be able to be tested as well. ”

"Send a message to the front, within three hours, I want to know the composition of the Imperial Army."
