Chapter 1047: No Choice

The female military god of the South China Sea, whose face was still like a girl, finally took a deep look at Lu Xi, turned around and walked in the direction of her own military formation. He was followed by the flag guard of the pen "Fun" www.biquge.info holding the sheep's head heraldic flag, and he did not say a word from beginning to end, without expression, like a moving statue. And Hurbara, who had been serving as his right hand and cavalry commander since the day of the Ulan cavalry, bowed slightly to Lu Xi on his horse. Although it is also expressionless, it is still a little interactive.

"You're a Guardian too?" Lu Xi looked at the other party's humane movements and asked with interest.

The other party didn't answer, and he didn't wait for Lu Xi to say anything else, so he slowly turned the horse's head and galloped towards the right flank of the whole army.

Tsk, rude, so rude. Lu Xi pursed his lips, looked at the other party's back, and his gaze began to extend into the distance little by little, and then slowly looked at the entire military formation of the other party.

Even if he didn't have a system to help cheat, he was definitely an experienced soldier now. In such an unobstructed vast plain, it is almost only necessary to judge the strength of the opponent at a glance, and even distinguish the type of troops, the formation and even the tactics that may be used later.

The total strength present should be between 12,000 and 3,000, and the number of cavalry should be around 3,000. In the vast majority of countries and regions on both sides of the Chenhai Sea, especially among the hundreds of city-states and kingdoms on the coast of Sosnes, with such a number of troops, it can already be called a regional hegemon. However, in front of a world hegemon-level behemoth like the Auckland Empire, it was just a standing army of a province. If it is in a real war between a big country and a country, a force of more than 10,000 people can only serve as a vanguard cannon fodder at most.

However, in Lu Xi's eyes, the strict military posture of the army of more than 10,000 people that had been stationed seemed to be a dark forest at a glance, except for the battle flags flying and cracking in the wind, and occasionally the breathing and sound of the horses in the lower layers, it was almost silent. That kind of majestic momentum can almost be condensed into a kind of storm that is visible to the naked eye, rushing towards the face, making people feel terrified. The high fighting spirit and murderous spirit did not turn into cheers and shouts of killing, but turned into a silent evil spirit, but even more solemn.

In fact, the most terrible army in this world has never been an army that can sing war songs all the time, but an army that can receive and send, be punctual and immobile like a mountain, and be as slow as a forest when arrayed, but also as fierce and thunderous when attacking.

A force of more than 10,000 people firmly occupied the battle line more than a kilometer long in front of Lu Xi. From this point of view, Ms. Ulan clearly wanted to outflank herself at one time, which made Lu Xi quite unhappy. However, such a formation is also a little weak, if it were not for the full confidence in the combat effectiveness and morale of the army under her command, the experienced shepherdess would never have made such a relatively brave move.

It is not surprising that there are only more than 10,000 people on the other side, but at that moment, the pressure they brought to Lu Xi was even far more than the dense ant-like alliance army under the Black Man City, and the camp and military fortress were almost derived from the orcs and undead out of sight.

"Sure enough, it's because there are no walls! Sure enough, it's still fun to defend the city, and the field battle is the most annoying! Lu Xi thought. Although he has cheats of various strategic skills in his hands, Lu Xi still does not have the confidence to win. You must know that the person he is facing is almost the most famous military genius on both sides of the Chenhai Sea and the two continents in the past thousand years.

"And it's this kind of dumb battle between the two sides, I hate this kind of battle the most! I can't even use the sixteen-character mantra that Taizu taught me! Lu Xi let out a long sigh: "In this case, the combat effectiveness of the army itself is the real decisive factor, and the command and achievements of famous generals are quite limited. ”

"Maybe it's because Ms. Ulan has full trust in her comrades-in-arms, and feels that as long as she stands by their side, she can win." The fat snow leopard shrunk behind Lu Xi's ass showed a head and said cautiously: "...... But, but, this is not scientific! Wasn't that lady leading a rebel army of miners and farmers? Aren't most of these people a rabble? It's good to be able to fight a tailwind battle once in a while, how can there be such a strict military formation? ”

"I thought you were going to shrink back and load the stones, and you won't talk until you get through this level." Lu Xi looked at Lao Pa and explained with a smile: "Even if it is a rebel army composed of miners and farmers, if they are all unorganized and undisciplined rabble, how can they make the Oakland Empire disgraced?" That lady shepherdess was one of the finest military geniuses in the history of mankind, and certainly would not make such a mistake...... Well, do the year, you should still be hibernating at that time, right? The historical details of that period may not be as clear as the period of the Age of the Gods. ”

The shepherdess-born goddess of the South Seas was originally only a rebel against the tax office set up by the Imperial Governor's Office in their hometown. Due to the discovery of several large silver mines in her hometown, as well as associated veins of mythril and adamantite, it is home to the largest known silver mountain in Southness. The Governor's Palace set up a considerable number of mines, tax stations, and garrisons there. Due to the financial needs of the central imperial court, the demand for silver and other precious metals in the governor's palace increased year by year, and when the order was delegated to the local government, the squeezing of the miners naturally intensified year by year.

It was against this historical background that Ms. Ulan's rebel army lit the prairie fire. Naturally, the backbone of the first batch of rebel troops was, of course, mainly miners.

The miners are a group that is easy to produce elite soldiers, as long as you have read the history and legendary stories of the general in Lu Xi's hometown, "I am not afraid of my wife", you can accept this fact very much.

In the earliest days, the rebel army formed by this group of miners was called the "beggar army", to put it bluntly, they fought bravely to beg for the minimum right to live. However, later, the size of the rebel army under the command of Ulan gradually expanded, and the goal of the uprising changed from simple survival to national independence and restoration, which of course is a later story. By the later period, these rabble, which were originally composed of miners, vagrants, bandits, and former aristocrats, had gradually become organized, regularized, collectivized, centralized, and professionalized, and were even more formal than the regular armies of all feudal world powers at that time.

Most of the backbones of the earliest group of beggar troops have become officers of the rest of the army, and on the basis of the remainder, Ulan has expanded an army of more than 10,000 people, which is used as a sharp knife for the whole army to fight tough battles and vicious battles for its own elite soldiers and general reserves.

"Then, in several major battles, this army crushed the Oakland Imperial Army that outnumbered it several times, and it was called the Immortal Army! It means the immortal legion of immortality! will follow their heroes to save the country and fight until the day the world ends. Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders: "In front of us, it should be the famous world's strongest army!" If you are a martial artist, you should be extremely lucky to be able to fight against this army composed of the best heroes in the whole continent, right? ”

“…… This and this, it is really a lion in a hundred battles, and it is very angry! That, little master, do you really have the confidence to beat them? The fat snow leopard said in an expectant tone, but listening to that tone, it was obvious that he had no confidence.

"It's a bit difficult indeed! Almost the entire Immortal Army was established by Ms. Ulan, and all the officers were not only the elite who had grown up in the previous wars, but also regarded her as the goddess of national salvation, and her loyalty and admiration were full, and her command was naturally like an arm. Objectively, this kind of condition inexplicably has a high degree of obedience and organization in the style of a modern army. In terms of the level of elite, it should not be under the ace of the Auckland Forbidden Army after the military reform of His Majesty the Sun King, the Seridil Legion. Well, even Karin's Young Guards are a little tender. ”

"So, that's amazing?"

"Yes, it's quite powerful, and with Ms. Ulan's command bonus, it's even more almost undefeated. With conventional methods, the certainty of victory may only be three-in-three. Lu Xi thought for a while: "Then, maybe you can only use a less conventional method......

"You, you mean ......" The Fat Snow Leopard's eyes widened, and it seemed that he had realized something.

Lu Xi closed his eyes, his consciousness turned into an entity, and began to condense into a fully armed soldier, and he began to set up a formation. On the other hand, it may be because of the limitations of the rules; Or maybe the Valkyrie born by this shepherdesswoman is really the same as in the historical records, a person with an open heart and an upright heart. At least, in the nearly two hours that Lu Xi had opened her mind to conceive of the army's formation, she did not immediately lead the whole army to press over.

At this time, riding his beloved white horse, he stood in the center of the line, looked at Lu Xi's military formation in the distance, and raised his eyebrows in some surprise. In her sight, the army summoned by the other party through the laws of subspace was only about fifteen thousand people, but the military formation was more than two kilometers long, which violated the common sense of the art of war.

"Wouldn't it be a casual charge that would be gouged through and then divided and surrounded?" Ulan thought to himself.

Of course, she wouldn't think that Lu Xi was a novice with no military common sense. The one who was able to break through the first two levels of the Nebula Palace and reach herself was only one in the seven hundred years she had been a guardian, how could such a person be an idiot?

What's more, at a glance, it seems that the opposing camp is full of infantry, and the average height is only two-thirds of its own.

"Dwarves?" Ulan frowned slightly.

It's not like she's never fought the armies of the dwarves before. You must know that seven hundred years ago, when the Auckland Empire of the Holy Spring Dynasty was extremely powerful, all the countries, forces and races in the entire continent, even if they still maintained their own independent forms on the surface, were more or less infiltrated by the imperial forces in various fields, and they all had to bow their heads most of the time to show submission. At that time, the Auckland Empire's royal army had a considerable number of dwarves and elven mercenaries, fighting on every battlefield of the empire's power expansion. The emperors of Dimahia trusted even more of these foreign mercenaries than the knights under the lords.

The Dwarven Iron Foot Formation is not invulnerable. The biggest problem is that it is slow, difficult to turn, and lacks high-speed maneuverability. If you distance these seemingly flawless, impregnable phalanxes from the large number of large projectile weapons behind them, they will not even have the ability to effectively counterattack in the face of the opponent's flank attacks and overwhelmingly superior projection troops.

This was the way the shepherdesss lady had defeated the Auckland Foreign Mercenary Legion, which consisted of more than 3,000 dwarven professional soldiers, with more than 2,000 javelinmen and archers on camels. At that time, she was only twenty years old.

"However, such a thin and long formation doesn't seem to look like a dwarven iron-footed formation......" Ulan looked at the opponent's camp carefully, and didn't even notice the kind of large dense phalanx unique to the dwarves, the other party just pulled a long array line. Then, she noticed dozens of large cylindrical objects interspersed in the dwarven army, and her intuition told the battle-hardened heroine that these things were dangerous, very dangerous, even more dangerous than facing dozens of real dragons.

The female military god of the South China Sea began to get excited, and even breathed a little faster. She often feels this way when faced with an unknown and powerful enemy. Many people think that she is a once-in-a-millennium military genius, but she herself knows that the reason why she can grow rapidly on the battlefield is precisely because of this trait.

There is no one like this shepherdess-born girl who loves the battlefield so much, enjoys the battlefield, and enjoys the pleasure of defeating strong enemies in war.

However, as her own prestige grew, and all the troops of the Auckland Empire and the entire Gabera were beaten by her, this feeling gradually disappeared.

"It's interesting, it's really interesting!" The goddess waved her hand. Behind her, Jose danced the huge battle flag vigorously, and the horn made of the horn of the ironclad rhinoceros once again resounded throughout the battlefield field.

Wearing leather armor, a square heart guard on his chest, a pointed iron helmet, a long thick wooden shield in one hand, an iron spear in the other, and a scimitar at his waist, the heavy infantry took the lead in the attack. The hoplites were strong, young men who were on average half a head taller than the average farmer. Since the beginning of his career, he has received the most adequate supplies and the most rigorous military training, and his physical strength is of course far above that of ordinary people. They have the confidence that even if they really face the Dwarven Iron Foot Formation, they can win head-on.

The infantry phalanx had already crossed the median line separated by two sides, and at this time, the battle suddenly began. Ulan thought that she could already calculate everything on the battlefield, but the way the battle started and behaved far exceeded her expectations.

The unidentified cylindrical objects began to roar. Bright light began to flicker through the hole at the top of them, and before the thunderous sound of breaking the air could be heard, with the sound of tearing through the air, the flowering shells fell into the dense group of infantry, and then the bright firelight, the smoke and dust in the air, and the shock wave and shrapnel that could destroy in all directions around them, scattered and split apart.

With each explosion, the bodies of dozens of Sosnes hoplites were torn to pieces, and they didn't even have time to scream.

"What is this...... "If it were an ordinary general, in the face of such a blow, he might be stunned by this sudden and unheard of everyone on the spot, right? However, regarded as one of the finest military geniuses of a millennium in history, she reacted at the first opportunity.

"No matter what it is, you must not let the opponent attack at will, you must quickly enter a state of hand-to-hand combat! Wear it through! Cut them! ”

She made another gesture, and the herald had already waved his banner, and the cavalry on the right flank had already leaped out of their horses, turned into a galloping dragon, and swept towards the flank of the dwarven army on the opposite side.

On the other side, after a baptism of artillery fire, the heavy infantry in the center was indeed somewhat blinded for a while. If it were an army in another feudal era, I am afraid that it would have collapsed in morale and the whole army would have collapsed. However, these warriors, who could definitely rank in the top three in the history of Sothness, quickly regained their composure after a short period of panic, as if their courage had not disappeared from the beginning.

They are not undead without consciousness and thoughts, and of course they cannot really be without fear, let alone what kind of blow they have received. However, these soldiers, trained by the best warriors in the entire continent, know very well that if they stop, if they escape, they will only die faster. On the battlefield, death will always take only the most cowardly!

"Onward! Charge! "The infantry centurions gave this order to the warriors.

In fact, it would have been unwise for the heavy infantry to charge at this distance, according to the original tactics. The so-called exhaustion after one blow and then three failures, such a sprint of hundreds of meters, when you rush to the front of the enemy's formation, it is basically impossible to have the physical strength to fight.

However, at this time, neither Ulan nor the infantry commanders under her command had no choice. (To be continued.) )
