"Chapter Eighty-Three: The Battle of the League, Part III"
The mistake of all human beings is nothing more than impatience, the haste to disrupt the orderly procedure, the framing of the plausible with plausible stakes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Bai Feng, who had all his attention focused on this battle, never sent cavalry to investigate the situation near his army, he maintained the immobile formation of his army, and slowly advanced forward, without disrupting the formation in the slightest because of the advance.
After more than ten minutes of continuous marching, Bai Feng lowered the marching speed of his own army for the first time, allowing his army to maintain an advancing posture at full speed and half speed, but this slowdown was not the only time Bai Feng slowed down, and soon he began to slow down a second time.
It wasn't until the marching speed of his own army dropped to one-eighth of the fastest speed that Bai Feng, who had slowed down three times in a row, ended his adjustment of the marching speed, and at this time, Philip's all-cavalry army had already appeared in the line of sight of Bai Feng's army.
According to visual inspection, Bai Feng judged that Philip's army consisted of three brigades of hoplite cavalry and one brigade of standard cavalry, and that it was all the enemy's hoplite cavalry that was approaching, and the enemy's standard cavalry moving rapidly on both flanks.
The distance between the two armies was only a minute or two of galloping horses for the cavalry charging with all their might, and in order to meet the charge of the enemy's cavalry cluster, Bai Feng immediately ordered the pikemen phalanx of the Chinese army to form a defensive formation on the spot.
The hoplite cavalry on both flanks of the pikemen phalanx accelerated forward and charged against the standard cavalry on both flanks of the enemy, and Philip, after discovering Bai Feng's disposition, only smiled contemptuously and immediately launched an attack on all fronts.
In Philip's opinion, the charge of the hoplites in the plains was unmatched, and the captain of the Celestial Dragon Empire tried in vain to block the charge of his three hoplite brigades with two brigades of infantry battle formations, which was simply the most foolish choice!
An uncontrollable smile appeared on Philip's face at the thought that he could defeat the captain of the Celestial Dragon Empire in the first battle and win glory for his country, as if he had seen himself win the war race and become a hero of his homeland.
Just when Philip saw the dawn of victory, Bai Feng, who was originally full of seriousness, also showed a relaxed smile; the experience of several previous deduction battles had made Bai Feng already understand the strength of the various classes of the magic doll, including the heavy cavalry selected by Philip.
Before the official game, as soon as Bai Feng saw the terrain of the battlefield, he guessed that Philip would choose to use an all-cavalry cluster to fight, and the reason why he formed two pikemen brigades was to use the pikeman phalanx to shake the enemy's heavy cavalry cluster head-on!
With the impact of the hoplites, they could only have three lines of defense at most, while Bai Feng's pikemen phalanx had six layers of defense, and once the enemy hoplites lost the impact of their speed, they were nothing more than lambs to the pikemen to be slaughtered.
Of course, Bai Feng's style of play still has very big flaws, if Philip's heavy cavalry group did not charge from the front of the pikeman phalanx, but from the flank of the pikeman phalanx, I am afraid that Bai Feng's pikeman phalanx would collapse in an instant.
Philip, who had never seen the phalanx of pikemen, naturally did not use any flank assault in this way, and he launched an attack on Bai Feng's army in the simplest and rude way; Bai Feng, who completely controlled the battlefield, just took advantage of the situation to carry out his established battle plan.
The surging swarms of heavy cavalry rushed towards the pikemen phalanx of Baifeng, and the immovable pikemen phalanx met the enemy's attack with a dense forest of spears, and successfully blocked the enemy's all-out charge.
Desperately trying to break through their own infantry formations, the enemy hoplites were scorched after breaking through two of their own defenses, and the hoplites, who had lost their speed and impact, were soon reduced to the guns of the pikemen.
At this time, the heavy cavalry of his own side, which was pursuing the enemy's standard cavalry, suddenly turned around under Bai Feng's order and launched a charge from the rear flanks of the enemy's heavy cavalry cluster.
Outflanked by his own hoplites in a semicircle, the enemy lost speed by the pack of hoplites, and by the time Philip realized that his hoplite cluster was in danger, it was too late, and the situation on the battlefield had already settled.
With the annihilation of Philip's heavy cavalry group, the standard cavalry brigade still roaming around the periphery could no longer change the tide of battle, and Bai Feng annihilated Philip's three heavy cavalry brigades with less than a single brigade of casualties, winning the first battle.
Such a clean victory and an ending that surprised the onlookers surprised everyone who watched the game, and when Bai Feng walked out of the secret room, the students in the audience reacted and gave the warmest applause and cheers to Bai Feng who won the victory.
As the first contestant to win the battle, Bai Feng did not proudly show off anything, but came to Steve's stage with the smiling Sophia, who was an ordinary student of the Flying Feather Principality team.
They fought against a dense network of rivers, and Steve's army consisted of three brigades of standard infantry and one battalion of standard archers, while his opponent's army consisted of two brigades of standard infantry and two brigades of standard archers.
There is no obvious difference in the configuration of forces between the two sides, except that one side has stronger melee strength and the other side has slightly better long-range strength, and the two of them play very decently, without any brilliance, so that Sophia doesn't understand why Bai Feng came here.
After about twenty minutes of uneventful fighting, Steve, who had not made any unusual moves, suddenly sent out his last five squadrons of reserve troops, which were the infantry, unshielded and armed with long knives.
The extremely fast long-knife soldiers launched a fierce attack on the enemy's standard infantry as soon as they entered the battle, and in the face of the surprise attack of these long-knife soldiers, the opponent, who also had five squadrons of reserve troops, immediately threw the last of their troops into battle.
For some reason, the opposing standard infantry was powerless in front of Steve's long-knife soldiers, and was quickly routed by the long-knife soldiers like wheat harvesting, and after only three minutes, Steve ended the battle and won the victory.
Looking at the instantly reversed battle situation in front of them, Bai Feng and Sophia, who were looking at each other, both showed a look of shock, especially Sophia, who didn't understand why Bai Feng came here, understood Bai Feng's purpose at this time.
Before Steve walked out of the secret room, Bai Feng and Sophia left here, and Bai Feng, who was full of the battle situation just now, felt that the long knife soldiers formed by Steve's adjusted attributes should be a targeted class of troops that specifically restrain standard infantry.
If cavalry is used to deal with the longsword soldiers, Steve's longknife soldiers are not a big problem, but what makes Bai Feng feel suspicious and worried is that since Steve can adjust the longknife soldiers that are specifically aimed at standard infantry, does that mean that he has other special troops?
After all, the changes of magic dolls are limited, while the changes of the real army are unlimited, and infinite changes can extend infinite possibilities!
