As we expected, after a night of maneuvering and rehearsing, the kingdom had lined up on the opposite side of the valley in an offensive stance, and slowly advanced hundreds of meters, directly in front of our outlying troops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, we sent a long-range strike force and Zeng Qiang's raid force to attack the opposite side in the dark last night when they were sorting out their troops, and caused a lot of confusion and casualties to the other side in a short period of time. The dense number of arrows and spears, as well as the occasional bomb, were definitely a disaster from heaven for the ordinary soldiers of the kingdom who were changing formations, and the Grim Reaper beckoned.

However, although the effect was very good, the reaction of the other side was also very fast, and it could be seen that they had also considered the occurrence of this situation, so two Sky Battle Masters and more than a dozen Battle Master-level powerhouses flew over directly, and the magic barrier enveloped the troops, and the advancing soldiers also raised their heavy shields, and the casualties of the other party were also suddenly reduced. Ranger and high-level knights have no problem dealing with battle masters, but when they meet sky battle masters, they can only kneel. So our raiding force immediately began to retreat, and the archmage of the opposing side also took the opportunity to send us a few slowing down ice magic, although the large army behind rushed over in time to save the scene, but I still inevitably lost some archers and goblins. Although the other side suffered a lot of losses under our surprise attack, combined with our own damage, we still did not take advantage.

And because our plan last night did not succeed (the original plan was to deal a heavy blow to the kingdom's troops and weaken their attack), and the loss of one or two thousand men would not have any effect on the kingdom's 100,000 army, the kingdom still slaughtered violently at dawn the next day. By the way, the 100,000-strong army is really shocking, and if I can one day, I must find a place to parade and experience the feeling of the country's leaders at the parade.

The kingdom's army has moved, and our army can't lag behind, the fifty or sixty thousand skeleton army rushed out of the bunker for a while, and the skeletons who had been stuffy in various narrow and dark places for several days became excited as soon as they came out of the cave, and rushed madly towards the kingdom's army. At this time, the two thousand barbarians of all ranks and more than two thousand regular militia troops of all ranks at the front of our position also rushed forward in the footsteps of the skeleton army, and the hooligans and villains of the Goblin Gangs also took the opportunity to blend in and do what they did best. In the sky, the heavily armored undead swooped down from the sky with our cloud-like undead troops, aiming at magical forces and heavy weapons that could cause us more damage. And some of our cannons began to move under the push and pull of barbarians and even giants, constantly approaching their own range.

The troops on both sides are not only advancing towards each other, but because of the maintenance of the formation, the troops of the kingdom are much slower than us, and our army has also formed an awl-like formation in the process of advancing, this formation is very suitable for attacking, but it is suitable for cavalry, watching those very fragile skeleton soldiers put up this kind of formation, I am a little worried.

How was the Great Legion War fought in the age of cold weapons? If someone replied at this time that the war at that time was like in the TV series, the two sides were pulling each other's throats and charging for their lives, and then mingled with the enemy, and the two sides were so chaotic that their own mothers couldn't find their sons. Or if the cavalry rushes forward with the infantry, and the archers behind shoot all the time, and they don't put down the bow when they shoot to the opposite side and stick to their faces, then congratulations to this pot friend, your concept of ancient warfare is still in the two-dimensional and TV series.

In this kind of large army battle, the formation is particularly important, and even the number and equipment of the soldiers have to be placed in the back, because in a battle of this scale, the formation directly determines the victory or defeat of the troops, because the formation is chaotic, and the opponent rushes in and dismemberes the troops, then the troops are tantamount to defeat. Formation battles, fighting one by one, the front is not finished, and the back does not even have a chance to show its face. It may sound strange, but it's true. The formation is required to be wide enough so that your troops can surround the opponent and flank each other to gain an important advantage. The fact that the 300 warriors of Sparta could block 500,000 Persians was also taking advantage of the terrain of the hot springs, because in this way, the Persian army could not give full play to its advantages in terms of numbers and wide formations, and could only continue to send troops to huddle together to deliver food to each other.

Of course. There are always exceptions to everything, such as the troops of the tribal world, which are standard rampage, the formation exists but is always changing, the goal is to plunder the village, and all kinds of brutal and effective tactics are the standard, the means are relatively alternative, very tricky and vicious, but they are also very useful. For example, the tactic of directly stacking a wall to cover the opponent's shield hand and stabbing the knife from above has never been seen in the kingdom.

However, the kingdom is very particular about formation tactics, looking at their kind of formation that is offensive but always on the defensive and always retreating, as well as the cavalry that the two wings are beginning to approach continuously, I guess the kingdom intends to open a hole in the middle of the troops, and put us in and then close the circle. And because of the formation we were pushing too far, I already noticed that our troops were already starting to get into that big pocket. As for why I can see it? Thanks to the scouting spirits hovering in the sky, many things will be much easier with God's perspective.

"The two wings are scattered, meet the opponent's flank cavalry, and the center directly carries out the heart-digging tactic!" I stood on a high ground and gave the order, carrying the occasional stone bullets and arrows that flew over.

Two days before the war, in order to facilitate the command of the troops when the two sides were already fighting, I improvised a solution, which was the sound of trumpets and flags. The sound of the horn is to draw the attention of those officers to the order, and the flag is the command given to them. In fact, it is very difficult to promote the flag language in the tribal army, to tell the truth, although the other party understands the importance, but the time is too short to adapt, and the second is that once the barbarian class fights the other party, they will not care about the order.

However, I am glad that the knights, who are fighting head-on and are familiar with the rules of the arena, have been exposed to the flag many times, and can find something that we can use according to my request. For me, the rest of the soldiers don't matter, as long as the officers can understand the order.

After a shrill trumpet, our bannermen (knights were the only ones who could do it) made a few movements in the direction of the wings, and then hoisted it to the middle. Fortunately, our banner was big enough, and the knight's eyes were good enough, although Louis and Louis Mirror (not let William go on for the time being, don't fight without the enemy) still looked like they didn't care in the ranks, but Philip and Huron, who were in charge, immediately passed on my orders to the whole army, and our two wings managed to hold each other back before being outflanked by the other side.

And by this time, our artillery, as well as the trebuchets of the opponent, which had removed the tarpaulin, were almost in range.
