Chapter 22: Either You Die or I Live

A month later, in the downtown square of Las Vegas, Li Youqian was wiping the demon knife Muramasa, getting this knife, unlocking a new hero, and this life could be over...... But Li Youqian is still waiting, he wants to destroy Viscount Arathi's army, and strive for more achievement points in exchange for a better background. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At the same time, he was also waiting for someone, either a god, or, just a dark shadow.

In the past month, Li Youqian continued to use the captured materials to expand the army, and at the same time, the Anderson family also sent the second young master, Bill. Anderson came to help.

"Second brother, aren't you the future head of the family, how can you risk your life!"

Bill. Anderson was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Seventh brother, you are just too smart to hide anything from you." You also know the elders of the family, my father is restricted by those old immortals, and I, the heir, don't sneak out with the troops, who can come and help you. "After all, blood is thicker than water, and at a critical moment, my family can still trust it.

"Let's both go to war, is it appropriate?"

"It's okay, the old fourteen has recently emerged, just according to the two of us have an accident, there is also the old fourteen, don't worry." Bill. Anderson didn't know what this war would bring, he came with the determination to die.

"Second brother, you have to have a will to die, this is a big taboo, believe me, this war will be won easily."

"Boss, Viscount Arathi's army is approaching Las Vegas." Manid looked at the information in his hand with a wicked smile, that fool still took the bait.

"Therefore, it is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as aggressive as fire, and as immobile as a mountain! This time, we used Shingen Takeda's woodpecker tactic. ”

"Everyone is doing according to plan, cavalry, follow me!" Li Youqian left with the cavalry, he was the finale, a turning point on the battlefield.

"Cher, did you inform Dorothy?"

"Your Majesty, it has been notified!"

"Very well, everyone, prepare for battle, the enemy is not far from us."

.

Outside the town of Las Vegas, Viscount Arathi's army is arranged. Unlike the bandits, who charge like a swarm, the regular army pays more attention to the military formation. The war of the regular army is not a street brawl, everyone rushes up with knives and guns to slash and kill, and the many people can win with viciousness. In war, the two sides of the battle must form a battle formation in order to give full play to the advantages of various weapons, to put it bluntly, how a large group of people can more effectively use the expertise of their weapons to kill the enemy, and a good formation can often outnumber.

Arashi's army was divided into three formations.

The front army was in a fish-scale formation. The soldiers are mostly junior soldiers, with more than 1,000 Nord recruits (levels 0-9) followed by some Nord Warriors (levels 10-19) and Nord Hunters (levels 10-19). For lieges, Nord guards are valuable, Nord knights are valuable, Nord snipers are valuable, and Nord recruits are not worth much. A merchant or bounty hunter can hire a farmer for a dozen or twenty dinars. And the lord only needs less dinars to recruit new soldiers, and even does not give money directly, which is the obligation of the lords! The former army is just cannon fodder, and those who survive are very capable of entering the Chinese army; If you can't survive, the lord will recruit again.

The front army was divided into 100 squads, each team of 20 people, and every 15 to 17 squads was one layer, one layer on the other, for a total of 6 layers. From a distance, it looks like the scales of a fish, pressing one by one, overlapping and taking care of each other.

The commander-in-chief of the battle in Las Vegas was John, and the cavalry of the Swadian army was alone, but the infantry and long-range were really not flattering.

The Las Vegas army was also divided into three formations. The first formation is the soldiers outside the town, and the formation is sparse, each army is a group, one army has five soldiers, three in the front, one for each two, and two in the back to fill the vacancy in front at any time. Soldiers in the front group can retreat to the rear in the gap between two soldiers in the back group. The groups were scattered everywhere to intercept the enemy's attack, and John's order to them was not to kill the enemy, but to block as much as possible, slow down the enemy's army, and increase the attack time for the second group's ranged troops. Soldiers do not want to fight to the death, and when they have more than half health, they can retreat and return to the city, where they will be treated by James and his exclusive soldiers' doctors, nurses, and nurses.

James has increased his charisma and dominance a little in the previous fight. In addition to the four who had followed him at the beginning, all of whom had become doctors, twelve others were now training in the city.

Behind the sparse array were three rows of soldiers waiting in battle, which was the last line of defense outside the city. All of the above first soldiers were made by Bill. Anderson conducted.

The second formation was a ranged soldier, commanded by Manid. Swadia soldiers do not have bows, they use crossbows, and the lowest-ranking Swadia crossbowmen are mid-level troops, and crossbows have high attack power, but the rate of fire is very slow.

Las Vegas is just a small town with low walls and only two arrow towers. Manid placed the crossbowmen on the walls and towers, and the archers brought by Bill in front of the battle.

.

"Drums forward!" To the sound of rumbling drums, Arashi's front army began to advance. The soldiers, holding their shields and marching in orderly steps, walked towards Las Vegas.

Manid is now a veteran archer, and his eyes are called poison! "On the turret, shoot accurately; Aim for me at the shield man's head, if you can't shoot accurately, find me a greeting without a shield behind me! ”

Manid has been following Li Youqian for a long time, and all kinds of tricky angles are caught, picking the gaps in the shield.

One shield after another fell, and the shieldmen in front had to raise their shields to protect their heads from attack. Soldiers raising their shields can effectively block crossbow arrows fired from a high place, but at the same time, they also block their vision, they can't see the direction of progress, and their speed naturally slows down.

"On the ramparts, the enemy has already entered the firing range. Greet those who don't have shields, and put down one of them! ”

The ranged attacks on the walls began to attack, and crossbow arrows flew into the ranks, and the attrition rate of Arathi's team was increasing. Different from the rain of arrows with bows and arrows, the attack interval of crossbow arrows is very long, you don't know what time, suddenly a crossbow arrow shoots at you, it is half a tube of blood, and you have to pay attention to the remaining half a tube of blood, I don't know when, you will die. As the saying goes, long pain is better than short pain, this kind of unknown sentence is the most torturous, you don't know if you will attack in the next second, and you don't know if it is yourself or your comrades around you who fall, this is a kind of psychological warfare, which consumes the morale and fighting spirit of the Arathi army.

"The enemy has entered the attack range, the archers are attacking!" Manid commanded the archers to begin the attack.

The archer's attack power is not high, but the rate of fire is extremely fast, and the skill of raising a shield can kill him with several arrows. The area where the archers attacked, which the infantry called the line of life and death, walked over, and the archers were scum in front of close combat. If you can't go, stay here. It's life or death, a thin line.

Arathi's front army was rapidly attritional, with soldiers being shot every second and soldiers dying every minute. The soldiers endured this maddening torture and continued to advance.

"Knock knock!"

The drumbeat of Arashi's main formation suddenly became dense, and the second formation began to advance.

At the same time, the soldiers of the first formation charged, and the shieldmen abandoned the protection of their shields and rushed towards Las Vegas like crazy. Life or death, stop torturing and have a good time!

Bill. Anderson stared at the battlefield tightly, Arathi's soldiers were really an inch of blood, and after leaving a corpse in the ground, the surviving soldiers rushed to the front of the first formation.

Manid's archers ran from the gap in the first formation to the rear of the first formation long before the enemy arrived, and here they could perform another attack, the projectile! Crossbow arrows shoot straight, but bows and arrows can be curved, and with this feature, bows and arrows can be thrown. It is for this reason that the crossbow has declined, and in the known countries, only the Swadia army still uses the crossbow, and the rest of the countries use bows and arrows.

There were six floors in Arathi's front army, and the first two were basically wiped out in the front shots. The damaged third and fourth floors began to engage Bill's melee troops, the soldiers of the third and fourth floors continued to die, and the soldiers of Las Vegas continued to retreat into the city.

An hour later, Bill. Anderson no longer had a soldier of his own in front of him, he was the last line of defense.

Bill. Anderson drew his sword, and the tip of his sword pointed directly at the fifth layer of Arathi's former army, and the fifth layer was no longer the first four Nord recruits, but all Nord warriors.

"When I draw my sword, they will regret standing in front of me. Soldiers, we will step into the dead, and we will not retreat! The moment of glory has come, the three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition, follow me, kill! ”

Bill. Anderson led the charge into the enemy line and struck the fifth layer of Arathi's front army.

War is cruel, either you die or I live.
