After inflicting heavy losses on the Heroic Wizards of the Fifth Legion, Maport's Paladins continue to advance south from the east of the city of Crodina! The Holy Knights swept forward as the vanguard, followed by 30,000 cavalry, constantly regaining the territory originally controlled by the Fifth Legion in the cities and countryside, and the momentum was unstoppable, and the Fifth Legion had to retreat one after another, constantly compressing towards the rear.

Ma Potter seemed to see that something was wrong, according to the combat strength of the Fifth Legion, it should not be impossible to form a decent counterattack, but the fact is that the Fifth Legion is like playing with itself, and even Nyala can see that the Fifth Legion is deliberately releasing water! Marbot had to warn his cavalry and the Paladins not to go too far, and wait for his army and the city to respond. But for seven or eight days, the cavalry who had been able to kill vigorously had long been overwhelmed by the victory, and thought that their marshal was too cautious. Chinchanyala was satisfied with Maport's performance during this time, and reported to the imperial court that the Cavalry Corps and the Holy Knights had awarded the Medal of Honor and the Holy Decree of Arrad, and gave several generals who led the army the title of Guanzhong Warriors, encouraging them to make persistent efforts to drive the Fifth Legion away from the city of Croatia and out of the Guanzhong Plain.

Rewarded by the emperor himself, this is amazing, this cavalry unit is even more overwhelming, galloping around the city of Crodina, invincible, seeing God killing God, Buddha blocking *...... In desperation, Mapote had no choice but to move his battalion eastward to counter his cavalry. The Fifth Legion was too calm, strangely calm, and even if they had no cavalry to confront them, they could have used the fortifications of the camp to defend and counterattack their cavalry, while the Fifth Legion, as if it had done nothing, abandoned most of the camps surrounding the city of Crodina, and retreated. When things go wrong, it's going to be a demon, and Marpot has a vague sense that a huge storm is coming towards him.

Lan Xian'er and Mewo are indeed planning to fight back against the aggressive division and encirclement of the fourth war zone. In order to confuse Ma Pote, Mevo ordered Thomas and Ullin's main cavalry force to stay near the same place and continue to put pressure on Yuping Pass, so that Ma Pote did not have to worry about his rear being raided by his own cavalry, while he and Lan Xian'er quietly laid a nine-turn chain formation near their base camp.

Guanzhong is full of plains, no complicated terrain, rivers are not large and the flow is gentle, and the overexploitation of human beings has left this area without any woods and forests. In terms of terrain, Mevo had no choice, and here Maport's cavalry was destined to have the upper hand.

The characteristics of cavalry are that the impact and mobility are very strong, after the invention of the stirrup and the Takahashi saddle, these two advantages of the cavalry are more prominent, especially the heavily armored paladin, who is almost invincible on the plains. To deal with cavalry, it is necessary to suppress the impact and high mobility of the cavalry. The traditional phalanx of spear and spear infantry with strong bowmen and crossbowmen was effective against cavalry, but their own casualties were huge! Generally speaking, as long as the infantry phalanx is not chaotic, it is difficult for the cavalry to form a slaughter situation against the infantry, but once the cavalry fails to stop the cavalry charge, so that the subsequent cavalry breaks through the phalanx and cuts the phalanx, or goes around the two wings and rear of the infantry phalanx, the infantry phalanx will easily collapse, and then the cavalry can completely use high mobility to rampage in the routed infantry phalanx.

Mevo's Chinese Guards Battalion is an expert in dealing with cavalry, and Mapo has 30,000 cavalry plus 200 paladins, relying on the original Bagua Array, even if he can destroy this cavalry, it is too risky, and there will be huge casualties. After weighing the pros and cons, Lan Xian'er decided to transform the Bagua Array according to the characteristics of the camp according to local conditions.

The original Bagua Array used heavy shield soldiers as the basis for the formation, relying on the soldiers' own strength to resist the impact of the cavalry, but this time, it relied not only on the soldiers, but also on all the camp facilities, terrain, rivers, city houses, military camp tents, participating in the formation, not only Mevo's 60,000 Chinese Army Guards Battalion, other military branches were also incorporated into it, with the entire military camp battlefield, the Chinese Army Guards Battalion as the backbone, within a radius of ten kilometers, were included in this large array.

Like the original Bagua Array, this formation is characterized by strong defense and poor mobility, so it requires that you must be on the passive defensive side. During this time, the army of the Fifth Legion retreated in order to lure the enemy into the trap set by himself, but Marpot was too cautious, Blue Fairy and Maevo never had a chance, and the crushing defeat of the Heroic Wizard Regiment of Wicks finally made the enemy's paladins and 30,000 cavalry swell, aggressively getting closer and closer to this death trap.

Finally, the two armies clashed head-on north of the barracks in Mevo.

The main force of the enemy's 30,000 cavalry, with 200 paladins as the vanguard, appeared to the north of the camp of the Fifth Legion's garrison, and the Fifth Legion set up an infantry phalanx to wait.

The infantry phalanx was 10,000 men, half of them were heavy shields and protected on the perimeter, and the other half were pikemen except for three magicians, who lived in the middle of the formation and were not equipped with strong bowmen and crossbowmen. The three-meter-long spear, one end inserted into the ground, and the other end of the wall spear head protruded obliquely from behind the heavy shield for more than a meter, and the dense spear head in front of the entire formation made people shudder.

This kind of infantry phalanx is too outdated for the cavalry of the fourth theater of operations, although those spears are powerful, but if the cavalry attacks in columns, as long as they break through a few points and sacrifice the cavalry rushing to the front, the enemy's infantry phalanx will be immediately disintegrated.

Seeing the enemy cavalry in such a formation, they did not hesitate to launch a full-scale attack! Behind the infantry phalanx is the barracks of the Fifth Legion, and the flag of the Fifth Legion is fluttering in the wind, as long as this infantry phalanx is broken, the entire barracks will become a battlefield for their cavalry slaughter.

"Kill ......" The entire southeast corner of the city of Crodina was dusty, and two hundred paladins took the lead, and the 30,000 cavalry were divided into several columns, like several sharp swords, under the cover of flying dust, and stabbed towards the barracks of the Fifth Legion,......

Surprisingly, before making contact with the infantry phalanx of the Fifth Legion, the cavalry did not launch a counterattack with the expected strong crossbows, but allowed the cavalry to charge into the phalanx.

......The invincible paladin, fearless of the enemy's spear stretched out from his heavy shield, broke through directly into the infantry phalanx of the Fifth Legion, and instantly there was a bloody storm and wails.

The infantry phalanx after being attacked did not completely collapse, but quietly changed its formation, with hundreds of people, with heavy shields to besiege the city, like a frightened giant turtle, all the hands and feet, as well as the head and tail all retracted into the turtle shell, the spear still stretched out, but did not launch any counterattack, did not make any movement, let the enemy's cavalry, towards their own military camp.

The leader of the infantry phalanx was Wicks, a hundred centur infantry phalanx, he assigned two hundred and eighty heroic mage regiments to each phalanx, each phalanx must have a team member who can use the group defense shield skill, after applying the group shield, to ensure that the hundred-man phalanx will not collapse under the impact of the enemy cavalry.

The barracks were in front of them, and the enemy's cavalry could not care about the strange formations of these infantry phalanxes, and rushed towards the barracks in the rear......

Thirty thousand cavalry, after a burst of dust, completely crossed the infantry phalanx of Wicks! Although there were heavy shields, and although there were group defense shield skills to strengthen the defense, Wicks' infantry phalanx was also scarred, and each hundred-man team had one or twenty casualties.

"All change formations, close the door and beat the dog!" Wicks, who was in the center, said loudly to the Bannermen.

All the infantry phalanxes stood up, regrouped in unison, pointed their shields and spears in the direction of their barracks, and steadily advanced a distance of a hundred meters.

Then, countless soldiers came out of the phalanx, and in front of them, they pulled up ropes, and the ropes were attached to them with wooden planks, and as the countless planks were completely lifted, the two trenches were immediately revealed. The distance between the two trenches was less than a meter, and each trench was about two meters wide and about one and a half meters deep, and the enemy's cavalry passed through the trenches through these wooden planks as bridges for the city, but it was difficult to come back.

Before they could finish it, the soldiers continued to pull the ropes, pulling all the horse stakes that had been placed in advance in the trench out of the ground, and then neatly placed them on the bank of the trench near the side of their infantry phalanx.

The two trenches add up to a five-meter barrier, and skilled cavalry can easily cross it on horseback, but the cavalry horses behind the trenches are greeted by a horse rejection stake with their heads cut off, and even if they can fill the trench with the corpses of cavalry and war horses, they will have to face a phalanx of infantry full of hatred, as well as a phalanx of repeater chariots that are about to be erected......

Countless soldiers emerged from the two flanks of the infantry phalanx, occupying the higher position where the original infantry phalanx was located, and carrying countless baggage began to set up crossbow chariots. This position is relatively high, and the ballista can fire * or arrows that can pass over the lower infantry phalanx in front of it, cross the trench, and the shooting angle is very comfortable.

The cavalry was most afraid of the attack of fortified cities, fortifications, and heavy troops. Although these repeater chariots are bulky, on the premise of ensuring the safety of their positions, whether you are light cavalry, heavy cavalry or even paladins, in their eyes, they are all dead corpses!

Wicks's Heroic Wizard Regiment is dissatisfied with the Paladin, because his equipment is better than that of the Paladin, and the quality of his own people is higher than that of the Paladin as a whole, thinking that he can deal with the Paladin, but one thing is lowered. The strength of the Heroic Wizard Corps is not reflected in the fight with the paladin, but more in the presence of special missions, and Wicks does not understand this at all. What if each paladin is worth more than 100,000 gold coins? In front of cheap repeater chariots, the same is scum!

The 30,000 cavalry of the Fourth War Zone broke into the Chinese camp of the Fifth Army Corps, thinking that they could be invincible, but they never expected that their nightmare had followed, and the nine-turn chain array arranged by Lan Xian'er and Mewo had become a death trap and a veritable net of heaven and earth......
