"Chapter 218: Tentative Confrontation"

Fang Zi's arrival is very timely for us, because although our troops are huge, the basic composition is skeleton soldiers, and we are not very sufficient in long-range firepower. www.biquge.info But when Fang Zi and Zeng Qiang's army arrived this time, we suddenly had a large number of elite archers, musketeers, and cannons. Three hundred cannons are still a mobile model, even if it is a hundred thousand kingdom troops, it is enough for them to drink a pot.

However, I still have two concerns about the kingdom's army, the first is that the kingdom's Zhenguo War Saint, a strong man of that kind of strength is present, and the princess is not out, I am afraid that all our masters will not be able to defeat him together. And for this, I can only hope that the wound left by his last battle is not healed, and it will not appear this time, otherwise I really have no effective way to deal with him, even if it is a powerful spell like the thunder and lightning spell, I am afraid that it will not cause too much damage to him. As for Fang Zi's rocket, the kind of rocket that can shoot at a speed of fire that can move at supersonic speed, I think it's just a joke.

My second concern came from the rear of the kingdom's army, from the hundreds of things wrapped in oilcloth, like the magic trebuchets of the Kuba Legion before. When we fought against the Kuba Legion before, a few magic trebuchets caused us a lot of trouble, and if there were hundreds, it would be disastrous for our defense line and troops.

I don't know if these trebuchets are the same as what I saw before, but this distance and degree of dispersion, it is estimated that even if fireballs, rockets, and Fang Zi's skills are used together, they will be destroyed a lot, which is always a hidden danger for our troops, and we have to guard against it.

However, compared to these concerns, the frontal attack of the kingdom is what I need to consider the most at this time, although our non-skeleton troops are far superior to the kingdom in terms of quality, but the kingdom has an army of 100,000 this time, including a large number of elite troops, which is a bit disadvantageous for us who rely on the sea of skeletons to support the façade. Moreover, we have fully demonstrated our tactics when we attacked the southern part of the kingdom before, and if the kingdom really did not guard against this, then the king and the army commander really had no brains.

However, I was puzzled by the Kingdom's reaction, for I had thought that they would attack as soon as they arrived, and that I had mobilized all my troops, but the Kingdom suddenly set up a tent at a distance of a kilometer from us, and set up a tent and cooked food, and I was puzzled by the fact that there was no intention of a quick victory. I know that it is not a good thing for the kingdom to attack rashly, but we and Zeng Qiang's spies have also figured out the remaining supply time of the kingdom, with the current financial pressure of the kingdom, wait in place for half a month, then they can roll up and go home, because the supplies have been exhausted by then. But for three whole days, the other party did not move, which made me a little uneasy.

Therefore, after careful consideration, I think we should send a force to test the reality of the opponent as we did in some previous battles, and at the same time check the real strength of the opponent with actual combat, and also find out what preparations the opponent has made to deal with us.

Meron and Philip unanimously supported my idea, and singled out a few mid-strength barbarian fighters and regular troops, and mobilized one or two thousand skeleton soldiers to kill them with the tactics we used to use, and see how the other side would respond.

However, it was only after our troops were sent out that I received the latest information, and I found that the commander of the kingdom seemed to be thinking with me, because they had also sent a legion as a test of our position.

This is a standard legion of the kingdom, with 15,000 men, and the weapons and equipment are the same as the ones I have seen before, it is a garrison force of the kingdom in the south, they have been here for three days, and they have been waiting for orders, and today the order has finally come, but only for one of their legions. Their orders were to attack tentatively, not requiring them to persist in the fight, but to gather as much intel as possible.

The general of this regiment did not think that this was a good errand, the opponent's powerful artillery could be seen from a kilometer away, and the defensive force was naturally very strong. But even so, the general complied with the order and set off with his troops, and what they didn't expect was that the other side had already sent a "large army" to attack them.

In the face of hordes of skeletons, the kingdom's legion also showcased the kingdom's new achievements in dealing with these skeletons, a throwable mixed with the power of the furious elemental that can deal damage to one skeleton at a time. This power can't actually kill people, but it's just enough to destroy skeletons. After losing thousands of skeletons, our troops finally fought with them, and in addition to the skeletons, the barbarian fighters and the regular army also jumped out of the pile of bones and easily defeated the ordinary Kingdom soldiers. After holding out for a while, the remaining legionnaires still felt that they were no match for the other party's powerful warriors, and the officers and generals of the Kingdom Legion also knew that although they could destroy those skeletons, they were not the opponents of the other party's elite troops in the end, so after remembering the previous instructions of his superiors, the general fled in a hurry with the troops who had lost thousands of men, and our troops also collected a lot of favorable information and returned to the camp.

We found that in this battle, the method of using the fire magic array to weaken layer by layer and destroy the skeleton soldiers has been popularized among the kingdom's army, and in addition to the new magic grenade, the range of weapons and magic in the kingdom's army has increased significantly, which is very aimed at our large-scale riot operations. And for quality classes like the Barbarians and the Regular Army, the kingdom has also found a trick to deal with them. The kingdom's magicians use ice magic to slow down the barbarians, and then the surrounding kingdom soldiers, led by the captains, will surround them and attack them in groups until they kill the barbarians. As for the regular army, which is the most important thing to coordinate, breaking up their formation and isolating them will seriously weaken the combat strength of the regular army, and it will be much easier to deal with at that time.

Obviously, the kingdom has studied our tactics before, gathered enough information, and found some ways to target us as much as possible. However, for us, we have also gathered intelligence information about the kingdom, and in this regard, this temptation has not been lost.

But both sides are testing each other, and for me that's a signal, a sign that a big war is about to begin.
