Chapter 779: Trench Tactics
"They're going to cavalry!"
Zhang Lingyue put up the pergola with one hand, desperately trying to see some clues from the wind and snow.
"What to do!?"
Wang Shuang frowned.
I also frowned: "At this time, what do you think should be done?" ”
"If it's me......"
He groaned and said: "I will give an order to take out the spears and spears of the whole legion, the spear array and shield array in the front row will be stabbed for defense, the rear row of the Shenbow battalion will be covered, and finally the heavenly cavalry battalion, everyone will get on their horses and prepare for battle, once the heavy cavalry of the Flamingo Legion breaks through our defense line, they will be surrounded and killed immediately, and the camp will not be lost." ”
"Hmm."
I nodded, Wang Shuang is indeed worthy of being one of the best generals in the Far Eastern Province, and he may be regarded as a second-tier famous general in the Xuanyuan Empire, a set of tactics is said in an orderly manner, and the conventional cold blade war is indeed like this, at least in the game, the tactics and battle formations are more simple and crude, in fact, it can only be like this.
"How?"
Wang Shuang also saw that my expression was not quite right, and said, "Brother Xian, are you ...... Think it's wrong? ”
"That's right."
I looked into the distance, and silently launched the Ten Directions Fire Wheel Eye, and said: "But you have also seen that the Flamingo Corps is well-equipped, and even the heavy infantry is covered with armor all over the body, and their heavy cavalry must have no weaknesses, and the armor from people to war horses will be complete, and when the time comes, ...... I'm afraid that our spear formation won't be able to withstand it long before it will be dashed to pieces, and besides, they have a numerical advantage. ”
"I know that...... too"
Wang Shuang frowned and said: "But I have no other way, if you have any strategy, say it quickly, you are about to squeeze me to death." ”
"Hmm."
I nodded and said: "Immediately let all the people of the Tianqi Battalion dismount, dig a trench through the east and west a hundred meters behind the defense line, this trench pit must be at least five meters wide, so that their war horses can't jump, the deeper the better, use the bamboo ladder to cover the retreat of the Tiebu Battalion and the Shengong Battalion, let's move the position back a hundred meters, and there is a trench in front of the position, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of spears, so that their heavy cavalry can't rush up and trample on each other, isn't it better?" ”
Suddenly, Wang Shuang trembled all over, waved his hand, and said, "Qin...... Qin Zhan is in control, have you heard? ”
"My subordinates heard me!" Qin Zhan clenched his fists.
"Hurry up, do it, the next task of the Tianqi Battalion is to dig a trench!"
"Yes!"
For a while, Wang Shuang was about to dance with excitement, and said with a smile: "Brother, how could I not think of the method of digging a pit...... Hahahaha, how could I not have thought of it? ”
On the side, Zhang Lingyue looked calmly into the distance and said, "The size of the heavy cavalry with people and mounts is quite huge, once they fill the trench with flesh and blood, won't they be able to walk on the ground again." ”
"Hmm."
I admired Zhang Lingyue's insight, this guy can definitely grow into a generation of famous generals in the future, so he said: "I also thought of this section, so I plan to pour thorn wood oil in the trench, the war horse is afraid of fire, once the heavy cavalry that fell into the trench is all on fire, the heavy cavalry in the back row may not dare to rush, due to the disadvantage of the troops and troops, we only need to keep them outside the camp of the Silver Frost Legion and contain the powerful Flamingo Legion, the Silver Frost Legion will be regarded as a great achievement." ”
"That's right!"
At this time, a voice came from behind them, and everyone turned around and saw Zhenyang Gongguan Yang riding a war horse, walking with a group of generals, and said with a smile: "Lord July Flowing Fire is right, in this war, the real hole cards of our Xuanyuan Empire are His Majesty's Fire God Legion, the Knights of the Temple, and the rest of the major legions, although the Blazing Flame Legion of our Far Eastern Province failed to reach the battlefield, but the Silver Frost Legion was able to contain nearly thirty percent of the strength of the Scarlet Royal Court in the valley on the east side, which is already a miracle!" ”
As he spoke, the veteran looked at us and said with a smile: "Wang Shuang, Qiyue Liuhuo, Zhang Lingyue, if you can defeat the Scarlet Royal Court in this battle, your credit is indispensable, and I will ask Your Majesty for your merits!" ”
"Thank you, Grand Duke!"
Wang Shuang was grateful and clasped her fists and saluted.
"No courtesy."
Guan Yang smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Actually, before entering the Northern Wilderness Province, I didn't expect the Silver Frost Legion to be like this, I thought that after encountering the Flamingo Legion, which is known as the top combat power in the Sea Country, the Silver Frost Legion could order a retreat as long as it resisted for an hour, but I didn't expect that you not only resisted the Flamingo Legion for a whole day, but even greatly killed and injured their living forces, according to the battlefield scouts sent by His Majesty, this battle ...... You have killed nearly 200,000 heavy infantry of the Flamingo Legion, do you know what this record means? ”
Wang Shuang was stunned: "Grand Duke, what does it mean?" ”
The corners of Guan Yang's mouth twitched, and he said, "For more than a hundred years, this is the result that our empire is most proud of for the Scarlet Royal Court!" ”
"Heavenly ......"
Zhang Lingyue was pleasantly surprised.
A group of lieutenants also rejoiced.
Guan Yang smiled: "That's right, after this battle, I want to ...... The whole world should think that the Silver Frost Legion has the qualifications of a first-class corps on the Phantom Moon Road, right? I will give priority to applying for the replenishment of troops, food, grass, baggage, and equipment for you, you don't need to worry about the future, go all out to fight, the Far Eastern Province will be proud of the Silver Frost Legion this time! ”
"Yes, Grand Duke!"
A group of people saluted in unison, and Zhenyang Gong gave me an approving look and then led the people away.
It seems that people really want to prove themselves, the last battle of the North Wall was reprimanded by Guan Yang when I wanted to save the vitality of the Silver Frost Legion, and this time his attitude towards me has completely changed, there is no doubt that the reason for everything is because I have won half of the battle, and half of the battle is enough to make the Silver Frost Legion famous in the world!
……
Behind him, the excavation of the trench has begun, more than 20,000 people in the Tianqi Battalion have all been put into the project, one by one surging with a steady stream of fighting spirit, digging up the soil and snow to fly, the work efficiency is quite good, it seems, at most twenty minutes can be a simple trench, and in front of the snow curtain, the "dong dong" war drums sounded, shaking everyone's heart, finally, we are going to usher in the strongest class of the Flamingo Corps!
In the valley, with the rise of mushroom clouds, a large number of soldiers of the rest of the legions were blown into piles of fragments, and in the smoke of gunpowder, a neat column of cavalry rushed by, with the least cost of rushing through the blockade line of the heavy artillery battalion artillery salvo, the sound of horses' hooves roared, and soon, a huge figure rushed to the high ground and appeared in front of our eyes.
"Spear array!"
I raised my hand suddenly, and suddenly the spears and iron spears of the Tiebu battalion stabbed out from the gaps in the shields, and Zhang Lingyue commanded the volley of thorn wood oil to non-stop, and must use fire to disrupt the rhythm of the charge of the opponent's heavy cavalry, otherwise the Tiebu battalion will face a catastrophe, and the flesh and blood of human beings will definitely not be able to withstand the rapid impact of hundreds of kilograms of heavy cavalry.
Looking at the columns of heavy cavalry in front of him, Wang Shuang gritted his teeth and said, "These mounts ...... But it's all the sweat and blood of the northern grasslands...... We haven't had such a fine war horse for thousands of years since the northern steppes of the empire were stolen by the Scarlet Court, and if we had, we could have formed such a heavy cavalry regiment, alas......"
I looked ahead: "These heavy cavalry are more powerful than the Heavenly Cavalry Battalion?" ”
"Horsemanship, tactics, battle formations, our Heavenly Cavalry Battalion is not lost to any cavalry regiment, but ...... The endurance, speed, and strength of the war horse, as well as the protection of the armor and the sharpness of the war sword, are far inferior to the opponent. ”
Wang Shuang stared into the distance and said: "The 200,000 iron cavalry of the Flamingo Legion, this is the foundation of the country of the sea across the north and south, if we had these 200,000 iron cavalry in the Far Eastern Province, I am afraid that we would have already left the northern wall, rushed thousands of miles to attack the pioneer forest sea, and expelled the pioneer Valen from the homeland of our empire." ”
It can be seen that he is greedy for the heavy cavalry of others.
In fact, I am also greedy, but I can't help it, this heavy cavalry in front of me is our mortal enemy!
……
"Puffy Pong~~~"
In the violent impact, the defense line of the Tiebu Battalion was violently impacted, and in an instant, the first row of Tiebu Battalion armor soldiers were shocked to retreat a few steps, and the defense line moved back nearly two meters, and most of the spears and iron spears that were spit out were shaken apart by the opponent's iron armor, and the heavily armed war horses hit the shields one by one, and some directly crashed through!
"Kill them!"
A heavy cavalry who rushed to the front raised a fire red sword, and wisps of flame inscriptions appeared on the blade, and in the next second, with a "poof", this sword actually drilled through the thick shield and pierced into the chest of a soldier of the Iron Infantry Battalion, and then the flamingo heavy cavalry on the front line drew their swords one by one, "sneering" and launched a wisp of attack.
Tiebu battalion, heavy losses!
"Bastard!"
Wang Shuang was so angry that she trembled: "They ...... They were actually holding steel swords with inscriptions...... How rich is the country of the sea that it can afford to raise such 200,000 heavy cavalry? ”
"Don't worry."
I looked into the distance and said, "In fact, only the heavy cavalry in the front row who is responsible for breaking through the defense has an inscription sword, and the ones in the back row are just ordinary steel swords!" Where is Zhang Lingyue! ”
"My lord, my subordinates are here!"
Zhang Lingyue was on standby with a war bow.
"Order the Divine Bow Battalion, replace it with inscription arrows, aim at the heavy cavalry at the front of the opponent, and kill them all for me!"
"Yes!"
The next moment, the arrows flew like rain, "puff puff" like flying locusts, shot through the opponent's armor, and directly shot the heavy cavalry holding the inscription sword, and the more brave Tiebu battalion armor in the front row directly grabbed the sword, swung the sword on the spot, and slashed indiscriminately, all of which were already red-eyed.
Yes, the Tiebu Battalion needs such fighting spirit and courage, otherwise it will definitely be flattened.
……
"Is the trench finished?"
I asked, turning around.
"It's done, Deputy Commander!" Qin Zhandao.
"Retreat slowly and use the trench for a second defense!"
"Yes!"
At the same time, I sent a message to Lin Xi, asking her to slowly retreat to the south of the trench with a deer of people, and it doesn't matter if the position is moved back 100 meters, but we can get a stronger position.
Looking at the dense figure of the iron cavalry in the distance, Wang Shuang took a deep breath unwillingly, and said: "Fortunately, we are fighting in the mountains and forests of the Northern Wilderness Province, if we change to the plains, I am afraid it will be ......."
"I'm afraid the Silver Frost Legion will be wiped out?"
"Hmmm......"
