George VI listened to John's words, sighed and said, "Thanks to the gentleman who woke up, I almost missed a big thing." In that case, let's do as the gentleman says. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust." John thanked him.
John was an astrologer, the most mysterious of the magicians. John was extremely proud in his heart, so when the magicians began to revive the project, looking around for a spokesperson. John decided that he wanted to accomplish this on his own. George VI, though ambitious and talented, was obedient to John. John almost believed that as long as he followed his plan, he would be able to single-handedly accomplish his thousand-year-old dream of reviving the entire mage.
Even one day the equally proud LeBlanc told him that she found a spokesperson when. His heart had never wavered.
But when he found that the star chart of ten years ago and the star chart of today were completely consistent, his proud heart really vibrate.
The chart was left by John's teacher, an astrologer of the previous generation. Some people predict that when this star map appears, it will be the end of everything, and the time when the continent will be reborn.
And at this time, a man named Alan Ouranos appeared sideways, as if confirming this prophecy. Is he the man in that language? John couldn't help but smile with pleasure.
Alan Ouranos, let me see how much more you have to go. John at the moment in addition to continuing to help George VI with advice. I guess he didn't know it himself, but in fact, in his heart, the fight with Allen had faintly exceeded his plan to help George VI.
John and George VI soon came to an agreement. One order after another quickly reached the lower-ranking generals.
Alan watched every move of George VI's army, so he analyzed the actions of George VI's army little by little.
Finally, when Alan saw George VI's army fanning around the town little by little, Alan understood the other party's plan.
It seems that the other party wants to surround and attack. Alan sighed in his heart. But Alan wasn't surprised by the result. Because what is Alan himself arranging himself like a hedgehog for? Isn't it just to deal with the encirclement of the other side?
He only has 15,000 people, and if he fights the front, he will definitely not be able to compare with others, so he can only rely on the town to make his flank disappear and force the other party to fight a frontal battle.
Now that the actions of the enemy are known. Allen, of course, is not completely indifferent.
"Inform Hannibal that he should take a thousand heavy cavalry to the north and go around to the flank. At the same time, Leon was asked to retreat with a thousand heavy cavalry, and at the same time ordered Augustus to take his 4,000 men to take the place of the original heavy cavalry. ”
Allen's plan was simple. Since the other party wants to surround Allen, then Allen will come to a counter-encirclement, anyway, he is a hedgehog, as long as you can't swallow it in one bite. to be able to fight back.
After the soldier who gave the order received Allen's order. Quickly convey orders. Alan looked at the herald who left in a hurry and couldn't help but think. In these days, the way of spreading information is really backward, and it is not only unsafe to rely on heralds to throw it around, but also slow to transmit information. Well, I don't know if this method of flying pigeons can be used.
Woo - a long horn sounded, and George VI's army, accompanied by the sound of the horn, approached the town of Allen little by little.
But after seeing Hannibal with heavy cavalry attempting to go around the flank, George VI had to add two thousand heavy spearmen to keep an eye on Hannibal's movements. At the same time, George VI's own heavily armed knights were always ready to counter-charge Hannibal.
When George VI saw Augustus' four thousand infantry fill the vacancy of the heavy cavalry. So he also placed his main forces on the north side.
George VI took a look at the battlefield, and the town was now encircled on the south side because of Augustus' troops on the north side. The east side had to give up. Because George VI's more than 10,000 heavily armed spearmen had reached the limit of the battle line. If you spread your forces again, the result will be that you don't have enough troops to attack on each of your fronts.
John also found out about this situation, and said helplessly: "It's acceptable."
Knock knock! The drums of war sounded.
Three teams of archers stepped forward from the rear of the battle formation. At the beginning, he used others as targets, and now he has become the target of others. Alan laughed to himself.
There is really nothing to be done about George VI's long-range troops, Allen, firstly, there are many people on the other side, even if Robin Hood shoots at him, he can't shoot people. Second, he is now in the form of a turtle shell, and he can only defend, and he can't attack.
Father! The rain of arrows was born from the opponent's bow and arrow, cut a graceful arc through the air, and finally fell in the middle of Allen's military formation.
"Shield!" With a shout from Alexander, the Assis phalanx soldiers standing in the first row quickly raised their shields in their hands.
Fortunately, both the phalanx soldiers and the legionnaires were good at defense, and the wide round shields and square shields were layered on top of each other under the dense array, like the scales of a fish. I heard only a clang, a clang, and it was the sound of bows and arrows falling on the shield.
"What about the casualties?" Alan asked quickly.
"Wait a minute, Lord Duke, the report will be coming soon." Guy saw that Eren was so nervous, and comforted Eren a little.
Alan himself is a very active person, so he is actually very dissatisfied with this situation of being beaten passively, but the form is stronger than others, even if he is unwilling, he has to accept his fate.
"Second wave!" The announcement from the commander standing in the first row soon sounded.
"The third wave!"
"Fourth wave!" ……
"Wave Nine!"
Finally, under the baptism of the ninth wave of arrows, George VI's archers retreated into formation. At the same time, there was a noisy shouting of killing from the west and south sides. Alan didn't have to listen to it to know that this was driving the peasant soldiers to his death. After all, this is a consistent method of warfare on the mainland.
Just as Allen ordered Robin Hood to shoot the poor serfs, the casualty report finally arrived.
In the nine rounds of arrow rain just now, a total of more than 100 people were injured and more than a dozen died. Looking at such a result, Alan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's not bad, the casualties are not very high.
This is also thanks to the terrain of the city, and many arrows are blocked by houses or something, so the casualties are so low.
Alan's joy was a great disappointment for John and George VI.
"It's the first time I've seen such a strong defense, how can such a dense queue maintain the stability of the formation? I don't know how they were trained. George VI muttered to himself.
As for the serf soldiers after that, they rushed up, first killed by Robin Hood with the archers, and then killed another group in the trenches and traps dug before the battle, and finally rushed to the front of the phalanx infantry. Facing a phalanx like a hedgehog, he reluctantly expressed his poor loyalty to the lord with his own body.
"It's time, the other side's troop deployment and observation are almost complete. Let's attack. John finally decided to get serious.
The loud sound of the horn shook the spirits of everyone on the battlefield, because it meant that the bloody white-knuckle war was finally about to officially begin.
