Outside the east gate of Lobit City, Blue Fairy and Mewo were directing more than 30,000 people to prepare for battle.

This is an endless plain, there is no danger to defend, and the only thing that can be used is a small river, which is only more than ten meters wide. Mevo's army consisted of 16,000 Chinese guards, 20,000 baggage soldiers, and Wicks' 200 heroic magician regiments, although they were all more than 30,000 people, but it was impossible for Mevo to put up the gossip array of the Chinese army guard battalion, because it was impossible for these baggage troops to change formations at will like other troops.

Lan Xian'er ordered people to cut down all the surrounding woods, cut the trees into three-meter-long logs, wedged the logs into the ground every one meter, leaving only more than one meter high wooden piles, according to the plum blossom point distribution, forming a defense line of eight meters wide and more than three thousand meters long.

The strange thing is that Lan Xian'er put the baggage army in this defense line of the horse rejection pile, with her back to the river, but put the Chinese Guards Battalion of Mewo outside this defense line to form a half gossip array. However, Mevo knew that this half of his Bagua Array must be able to withstand the attacks of all the enemy's forces, introduce the enemy into the formation, and expose the enemy to the fire cover of the repeater chariot by changing the formation.

Maevo gradually understood why Higg said that the reason why he was trusting the big, when he used the Bagua Array to deal with the cavalry, the other party was a single army, and he only needed to defend against the cavalry, but now he was facing not only the cavalry, but also the infantry, crossbowmen, griffin legions and magicians, which of the troops found a breakthrough and broke the Bagua Array, they would fall into chaos and danger.

"Don't worry!" Lan Xian'er smiled and comforted Mevo, "As long as you concentrate on dealing with the cavalry, the enemy's magicians don't dare to approach easily, the griffons are dealt with by Wicks and Ray, and the 20,000 cavalry of Ulin is fifteen kilometers to the south, and after the battle, they can arrive in half an hour at the latest, so that they can destroy the enemy's infantry!" ”

"Madame, let me know!" "Even if the Chinese Guards Battalion is completely destroyed, it will definitely hold back the enemy's cavalry!" ”

Lan Xian'er continued: "General Noah, put a thousand crossbow chariots, every two in a group, after one is completed, when the arrow magazine is replenished, the other will shoot again, and the enemy will not be given any respite, otherwise, if the defense line of the horse rejection pile is broken, I will fall short!" ”

"Sister, don't worry!" Noah laughed, "They probably don't have a chance to connect with the close line!" ”

……

Lobit City, the barracks tent in the base camp.

"Is it clear? Are there really just over 30,000 people? Elva repeatedly confirmed.

"Deputy marshal, there are indeed only more than 30,000 people, and most of them are baggage soldiers, there is no cavalry, all concentrated at the east gate!" A Chinese army staff officer said, "Higg thought that all the ships were gathered on the southwest bank of the Roja River, and everything would be fine, leaving only 10,000 defenders in Amman City, who knows, General Cordillo forcibly seized the ferry, and at once crossed 50,000 troops, so that the defenders of Amman City fled, and now Amman City is in the hands of General Cordillo, with 100,000 defenders, Higg feels in danger, so he sent the main force to recapture Amman City!" ”

"Hahaha!" Elva laughed and said, "He doesn't take me seriously enough to dare to leave only this little force to besiege the city!" ”

The staff officer of the Chinese army smiled and said, "General, this is a rare opportunity, we can't wait for General Codillo, if after the loss of Amman City, Hig will attack us with all his might, we may not be able to defend it!" Let's get rid of his baggage first, even if Cordillo's Amman City is retaken by Higg, but without the baggage, our base camp will be much safer! ”

"Order, all the cavalry, assemble at the south gate and the north gate, go out of the city from the two gates, outflank the besieging troops of the Fifth Legion, and gather another 20,000 infantry, 10,000 crossbowmen, 500 griffins, and 300 magicians at the east gate, and wait until the cavalry is outflanked, and immediately go out of the city to meet the enemy! Ben Shuai wants to destroy all the baggage troops outside the city in one go, hahaha! ”

"Yes, lieutenant!" The herald was ordered to leave.

"Hehe, I want to see, why did they deal with my 30,000 cavalry, does the Fifth Legion really have three heads and six arms?" Elva smirked, "It is said that Marshal Hig of the Fifth Army is like a god in his army, and he is more powerful than him, but I don't think that's it!" Besides, he's not in the city now, so what else do we have to worry about, hahaha! ”

"Pay close attention to the direction of Amman City, and report back as soon as there is a situation!" Elva then ordered.

"Yes, lieutenant!" The staff officer of the Chinese army immediately replied.

……

The two cavalry armies, 15,000 men each, set out from the south and north gates of Lobit, and along the city walls, rushed violently towards the Chinese guard camp of Mevo.

The two armies assembled on the north and south flanks of the more than 30,000 armies of the Fifth Army, and at this time the east gate of Lobit City had also been opened, and 20,000 spearmen and halberders and 10,000 crossbowmen also came out of the east gate and formed a phalanx to assemble.

Mevo's more than 30,000 men, under the shock of the cavalry on both flanks, did not dare to move, and let the other side complete the assembly.

The sky was clear, but the winter sun was weak, and the smell of death was permeating the empty field.

The enemy's 60,000 troops, which had been assembled, could not wait to attack Mevo's position. The two wings, each with 15,000 cavalry, could not wait for a long time, and divided their troops into three routes, a total of six routes, and rushed from the northwest and southwest to the Chinese army formation in Mevo from the northwest and southwest, intending to crush this large army by attacking from the north and south. In their opinion, this is nothing more than an infantry army and baggage troops, no matter how elite it is, it is also an infantry phalanx, and on the plains, it is just a melon and fruit under the knife of their cavalry, and they can cut it as they want. The opposing infantry phalanx and crossbowmen did not start to move, but just stood by and waited until the cavalry division was completed, and they would come forward to fill the gap.

But Elva's cavalry seemed to have forgotten the fair duel outside the fortress of Ovara a few years ago, and did not seem to notice that the army of this phalanx was the infantry phalanx that shocked the world, and the commander was still the young Mevo.

Maevo unhurriedly adjusted the infantry phalanx into seven phalanxes, and gradually moved from front to back at the position where the six-way cavalry entered, giving way to the cavalry, allowing the cavalry to charge inward, preventing the opposing cavalry from directly colliding with the phalanx. The phalanx relied on heavy shields on the periphery, tightly retracting its position, and when the cavalry entered the formation, they squeezed the cavalry from the flanks in order to reduce their speed, and from behind the heavy shields, spears and spears were inserted.

The Sixth Route Cavalry originally wanted to rely on the powerful cavalry charge tactics to break the opponent's infantry phalanx, but found that this self seemed to be in the midst of the impact of the water, and the opponent's infantry phalanx did not collide with themselves at all, but before the two sides made contact, they slowly moved from front to back and slowly gave way to the road.

"Catapult!" Lan Xian'er held the flag high, and as the flag fell, she shouted loudly: "Attack!" ”

More than 400 catapults threw stone projectiles almost simultaneously, and the stone projectiles crossed Mevo's infantry phalanx and smashed them at the cavalry who had not yet entered the position. The catapults were thrown from more than 200 to 300 meters, just enough to cross the infantry phalanx, but the hit rate was pitifully low. This may be the precedent in the history of warfare in Middle-earth for the use of catapults to attack cavalry phalanxes. The main purpose of the catapult was not to inflict much damage on the cavalry, but to give the enemy enough deterrence to slow down the cavalry's charge and reduce the pressure on Mevo's infantry phalanx.

"Repeater Chariot!" Noah held the flag, and as the flag fell, he shouted, "Free fire!" ”

A hundred chariots with crossbows, and when the opposing cavalry rushed out of the infantry phalanx, they fired arrows along the way that Mevo had vacated. A hundred carts, all of them crossbow carts, each of which could fire twenty-five arrows in a minute, were fired along six roads. The exit of the phalanx was almost covered by arrows, and the cavalry who had just rushed out of the infantry phalanx, and the phalanx of baggage soldiers dozens of meters in front of them were in front of them, and they were about to charge over with all their strength, but they fell to the ground in the middle. The range of the repeater chariot is almost two hundred meters, and a thousand repeater chariots are lined up, not all the enemy has entered their own firing range, only the repeater chariot close to the exit position of the cavalry can cause effective damage to the cavalry.

But the enemy's cavalry charge was too fast, although many cavalry horses were shot, but the dead knight's horse would not stop on its own, or the wounded horse would be even more crazy, desperately attacking towards the baggage phalanx of Blue Fairy and Noah. The cavalry suffered heavy casualties, but many of them still broke through from the infantry phalanx and rushed to the phalanx of baggage soldiers, but soon found the horse rejection pile in front, and the powerful charge hit the horse rejection pile, and the man turned on his back.

All the repeater chariots fired a dense stream of arrows, covering the cavalry that rushed through the infantry phalanx, and some of the cavalry who broke through the horse rejection stake sporadically were killed at close range by the guard marksmen of the baggage guards, and the entire horse rejection pile became a nightmare for the cavalry.

The method of this cavalry trap arranged by Lan Xian'er is very simple, that is, to use the invincible defense of the Bagua Array of the Chinese Guards Battalion of Mewo, relying on the invincible lethality of the repeater chariot to combine the two, and the spear and shield cooperate with each other to lock the enemy in the formation and slaughter wantonly. Mevo's Chinese Guards Battalion was protected by heavy shields and did not worry about accidental injuries to the repeater tanks.

When the cavalry crossed the shield of the infantry phalanx and found the spear of the crossbow chariot phalanx, they didn't think about it at first, but they didn't think that there was an insurmountable horse rejection pile in front of the spear, so the distance of dozens of meters between the infantry phalanx and the horse rejection pile became a nightmare for the enemy cavalry.

The reason why Lan Xian'er's formation can be realized must meet two conditions, one is that his side is the defender, and the other is that the shield is stable enough, even if the spear is not so sharp, as long as the shield is strong enough, it will win more and lose less.

But it was too early to say victory, the enemy's cavalry was too many, and the military phalanx in Mevo might not be able to support it, and besides, the opposing phalanx of infantry, crossbowmen, griffins, and magicians saw that the situation was unfavorable, and had already begun to advance towards Mevo's phalanx......
