The effect of the smoke screen is very good, a large area of smoke screen obscures the view from the rear, Matsumoto Masaga temporarily lost the ability to command the battlefield, and this time is the time for us to play.

"Open Gates 1 to 20." My voice had the leaves of the City Tree conveyed to the City Tree itself, and the City Tree responded to my command in an instant.

In the direction of the Japanese player at the bottom of the Esinger, twenty huge pieces of armor suddenly appeared on the city wall and began to think about the city sinking into the city with a sound of metal grinding. Each of these armors was about two hundred meters wide and almost thirty meters high. The armor plate slowly sinks inward, stopping with a thud when it reaches a distance of three meters, but soon it begins to move sideways again. Each armor plate separates from the middle and retreats into the city wall on both sides, and then the armor plate moves to both sides, only to realize that there is actually a layer of armor plate behind the first layer of armor, but at this time they are separated in the direction of up and down. The four armor plates, which normally overlapped each other in a criss-cross fashion, closed the large hole in the wall, but now they all got out of the way.

Twenty rectangular exits appeared in the city wall after the armor was removed, and a black line could be clearly seen from the outside. The front-line commanders in the vanguard of the Japanese army used binoculars to realize that the black line was actually a dense heavy cavalry formation, but because the Japanese players were in a position that was more than 400 meters shorter than the middle of the wall of Esinger, they couldn't see how many people were behind except for the first row of cavalry.

The opening passage was originally located in the middle of the city wall of the base layer of Isenger, which means that it was about two hundred meters from the ground of the city, but Issinger was now in a state of movement, and all the tracked thrusters under it were stretched out. It is not the underside of the city that directly touches the ground, so these exits are at least 400 meters above the ground. At the same time as the exit was fully opened, there were strips of metal plates as wide as the exit sticking out of the city, and these metal plates were sticking out horizontally rather than downward, and the Japanese thought that these long metal plates were designed for the cavalry to leave the city, but they felt wrong when they stretched out horizontally.

The metal plate exited about five hundred meters long before coming to a halt. With the sound of mechanical gears turning, the long metal plates actually began to tilt downward. Obviously, be prepared to touch the ground. The Japanese had just wondered why these things were sticking out horizontally, but now they all understood that it was because the mechanical mechanism was inconvenient to extend directly downward. That takes up more space, unlike this, it can be stored in the floor mezzanine to save space. The extension of the huge metal plate dropped by more than 200 meters and then suddenly stopped. If the city had been parked on the ground, it would have touched the ground by this time. But at this time, the tracks of the city are all unfolded, so the slab does not touch the ground.

Just as the Japanese players were about to laugh at our mistakes, there was a slight mechanical sound on the metal plate. Then the thousands of positioning locks on the side of the springboard automatically popped open, and then the lower half of the entire springboard actually slid down quickly, and with a bang, shoveled into the dirt more than a meter deep. It turns out that this springboard is actually two layers, usually like two pieces of paper tightly stuck together, there is a slide rail connection between the two layers, as long as the fixed lock is opened, due to the inclination of the springboard, the following layer of springboard will slide out immediately. This two-stage design is designed to take into account the two states of Ensinger's crawler opening and closing, if the crawler is not deployed, then only a layer of springboard can reach the ground, if the crawler is extended, then send the fixed lock to let the second springboard slide out, so that it can just touch the ground.

In fact, in addition to the springboard, this huge military platform also has a temporary airfield, and our guild will have a lot of air cavalry, and their take-off and landing are nothing in peacetime. But if the battlefield suddenly unfolds, the top airfield will be a little too busy. Each of the three main floors of Isenger has a flat roof with a large area, but the top of the base layer is all weapons, which is simply an artillery position. At the top of the middle level is the airport, but the area is not very large, and the take-off and landing tasks that have to take advantage of so many things are obviously a bit crowded. The top platform itself is the smallest, and is occupied by several large special buildings on the command level and guilds. It is really not suitable to be an airport, and these twenty exits do not open them if they stretch out horizontally from the springboard. That's equivalent to a platform, just used as an airport, anyway, the width of two hundred meters is big enough for all kinds of flying creatures, and it doesn't affect their landing at all.

Although there are many functions, but at present, these metal plates still perform their main task as a springboard for the army to leave the city, Matsumoto Masaga is hurrying forward, trying to see through the smoke screen to see what the battlefield situation has become, but he is a little far away from the front of the battlefield, and he can't get over for a while. Millions of troops all rushed away, and the stragglers were used, and the formation was stretched more than ten kilometers long, but this was still because the frontal width was relatively large, and Matsumoto Masaga, as the commander-in-chief, squatted at the end of the formation to suppress the formation, but now after the smoke screen was blocked, he became blind, and now he really did not live.

Matsumoto Masaga hadn't run over yet, and the Japanese troops in front had not received new orders, and were still rushing forward quickly. Esinger's weapons also have a blind spot for shooting, as long as you rush to the bottom of the city, you can start to find a way to rush into the city to fight, this is the Japanese idea. Matsumoto Masaga, and players throughout Japan, have long been well aware that our guild's magic and gunpowder weapons are notoriously ruthless, not only powerful and firepower, but also numerous and accurate. For Japanese players, as long as they run to the vicinity of Isengard, they can start a white-knuckle battle, and at this time, the advantage of our guild is gone. Because of this realization, the Japanese players who did not have a new order began to rush towards Isenger at high speed with a large number of NPCs around them.

By the time the man was forging ahead, Issinger's cavalry springboard was fully deployed. The secondary springboard that had just slid down was deeply inserted into the ground, but the springboard was quickly pulled out due to Issinger's movement, but this did not affect its function, and there was a row of small metal wheels under the springboard that touched the ground, which reduced the friction between the ground and the springboard, allowing the city to move and release troops.

"Shock." The eagle stood in front of the exit as the vanguard of the cavalry, and this time he intended to serve as the field commander. After all, there aren't too many regular knights in our guild.

With the eagle's order, the first platoon of cavalry rushed down from the gangplank like a flood, and twenty huge gangplanks two hundred meters wide were a very wide impact plane, and once the heavy cavalry gained enough impact surface and sufficient speed, their lethality would be unimaginable. These gangplanks were all connected directly to the ground from the exit in the city walls, and this careless angle of inclination was the best place for the cavalry to accelerate. The heavy cavalry were almost relying on gravity to help them accelerate, and the heavy cavalry troops rushed down the gangplank with the thunderous sound of hooves, and the ground rumbled as soon as they touched the ground. Fortunately, the springboard was designed to be thicker. Moreover, the magic reinforcement technology was used, otherwise so many cavalry would probably be trampled on when they ran over.

The Japanese players were charging, and although they saw the cavalry, they did not have orders and did not dare to change their formation. On the battlefield, only a commander who sees the whole situation can make the most appropriate judgment, and although it is sometimes important for soldiers to adapt to emergencies, it is absolutely not advisable for soldiers to change their tactics on their own. Now although the Japanese players know that a large number of infantry are at a disadvantage by defending the heavy cavalry that has reached its peak speed in front of the stragglers, they just don't dare to change the formation casually.

Matsumoto Masaga was lucky, he finally saw the battlefield through the smoke screen before the battlefield changed form, but he was unfortunate because he saw it too late. Matsumoto Masaga, who had just rushed through the smoke screen, saw that Esinger in front of him released twenty teams of heavy cavalry like opening the floodgates, and knew that it was over, and the terrifying cavalry vanguard was already less than ten meters away from the Japanese vanguard, and this distance was said in the cavalry: "Shock for a second." "The reason why there is such a saying is that ten meters can rush through the heavy cavalry at full speed in less than a second, and because this distance is so close, if the soldiers in the front row of the enemy are not good, they will often lose their minds and faint in this second.

This kind of seems to be no need to laugh at those who are stunned or peeing their pants, because in front of such a heavy cavalry formation, people will instinctively have a rapid heartbeat, and Matsumoto Masaga has seen many people who were once very arrogant and confident that they were very brave in front of the cavalry formation. Moreover, the investigation report of a player on the forum also said that the moment the cavalry formation and the infantry formation came into contact, most of the infantry were in an unconscious state, which means that most of them were actually dizzy at that time, but their bodies thought they were stiff and still standing there.

Matsumoto Masaga now experienced the scene again, but to his great sorrow, it was his army that was trampled on. The battlefield seemed to turn into a silent world for a second before the two armies came into contact, and everyone felt that the situation in front of them had become a slow motion, and when the cavalry and the charging players collided together, the battlefield seemed to suddenly recover from a silent world to a noisy world. The sound of metal weapons crashing, the screams of people, the cracking of bones, the sound of muscles being torn apart, this qiē is mixed with the sound of the battlefield - the symphony of life.

Matsumoto Masaka couldn't stand it anymore, one by one the soldiers were directly knocked into the air, the heavy cavalry with men and horses plus equipment five times the weight of the Japanese player, and the cavalry at home six times the speed of the Japanese player, generating thirty times the kinetic energy. People are like weightless dust here, and they are carried lightly. The cavalry did not have to attack at all, their speed and weight were the best weapons. Enemies killed by cavalry were either rammed to death or trampled to death. There aren't many times when weapons need to be used.

Some Japanese players command the NPCs around them to form a temporary small defensive circle, but it is useless, these heavy cavalry horses are trained, after seeing the enemy's defensive array, their first reaction is to jump up and smash the enemy with the weight of their bodies, these horses are all wrapped in steel armor, and there is a shield-shaped all-steel thickened impact armor in front of them, which is a part that improves the impact when hitting people, and now this thing is very effective.

Several Japanese NPCs raised their shields to resist, the war horse jumped up more than a meter high, just stepped on the shield, the NPC screamed and was trampled down, the upper part of the body was supported by the people behind, and the feet were also supported on the ground, but the waist could not bear the weight of a heavy cavalry with a horse, only to hear a click of a bone crack, this shield hand was stopped and stepped on, and the body bent out of an angle that usually cannot be reached from the waist, and the war horse did not stop because of this, with thirty times the impact of the other party, this impact is nothing. The war horse continued to jump with the people under his feet, and the people below were immediately trampled on the flesh and blood. The Japanese players behind saw that the NPC couldn't stop the enemy and wanted to run, but the iron hooves of the war horse ruthlessly trampled him to the ground, and he continued to rush forward regardless of the fact that he was still struggling on the ground.

This finished house was not actually stepped on, but was just overturned by the knight's pedal belt on the warhorse. He was crawling on the ground trying to get up, when suddenly a stout horse's hoof with a tread iron stepped on it, hitting the back of his hand. There was a click followed by a ghostly howl, and the fellow's hand turned into a patty, and before he could continue howling, the first horse's hoof arrived, this time stepping on his waist. With the same click, a good person was immediately broken in two. Following the horse's hind hooves, he stepped on the man's head like a watermelon and smashed it, squirting red all over the ground.

The thunderous heavy cavalry group is advancing rapidly and powerfully, and the Japanese players finally collapsed, and a large number of players began to turn around and run back with NPCs, obviously this is a game, theoretically speaking, most people are not afraid of death, but the on-site impact is too strong, and people often can't help but take this as a reality, and the survival instinct begins to run away.

The stragglers on the Japanese side were too sparse, and the impact of the heavy cavalry on the front had no blocking effect, and the cavalry smashed into the enemy's interior like slicing tofu. As the commander-in-chief of the cavalry, the eagle felt that his army was in a no-man's land, and that there was no enemy who could stand in the way. The feeling of being superior on a horse itself produces a feeling of swelling in the heart, and this feeling translates into self-confidence on the battlefield, and self-confidence is the source of momentum. It is said that the cavalry is the nemesis of the infantry, and the fleeing infantry cannot resist the cavalry charge, and the light ones are chased and strangled.

Matsumoto Masaga was just a little slower, and he didn't expect his army to turn from a charge to a big collapse. Our army's assault capability is very strong, and Matsumoto Masaga's short-term mistake completely lost the initiative, and this is the problem of grasping time on the battlefield.

Strictly speaking, Matsumoto Masaga did not lose to himself and the army, but to lose to the commander, the command and staff officer on our side is General Wu, and the command and staff officer on Matsumoto Masaka's side is the retired Japanese staff officer, both sides are professional soldiers, but the grade is different, the Japanese staff officer is just an ordinary senior staff officer, and he is not a very outstanding person, more powerful than ordinary people, but it is not a great task. General Wu is different, he can be regarded as the military god of our country, a victorious general who has won countless battles in his life. That's a lot worse than a normal staff officer.

General Wu's grasp of the battlefield is very in place, our combat steps are all under his command, how long after the smoke bomb is launched to launch a counteroffensive, the intensity of the attack and the location of the attack are all planned by General Wu, now it seems that the cooperation of this simple cavalry and smoke bomb has transferred the initiative on the battlefield entirely, originally we were on the defensive side, the initiative is in the hands of the other party, and now it seems that we don't have to worry about not having the initiative at all.

Battlefield initiative is a good thing, the side that has the initiative means that you can adjust the pace of the battlefield according to your needs, you can start the battle when you are ready, or suddenly attack when the enemy is busy, so the side that has the initiative will have a big advantage. Now that we have the initiative, the next step is to take advantage of it.

General Wu and Su Mei discussed for a long time, and suddenly notified the cavalry to turn around, and the eagle led people to rush and kill, and suddenly the street ordered him to turn around, although he was very puzzled, he still retreated. I also thought it was strange about the general's order, but I didn't ask him what he meant, I am a layman in military command, and it is better to deal with this professionally.

The eagle took the heavy cavalry to play a U-line attack, and made a big turn on the way and rushed back. Almost just when our heavy cavalry turned the formation around, a large number of Japanese cavalry suddenly rushed out of the smoke curtain, it seems that General Wu's judgment is very correct, if they don't turn around, they will already collide with the Japanese cavalry, although the smoke screen has formed the sight of the Japanese, but we are not affected, after all, reconnaissance mosquitoes are everywhere. General Wu had just seen the Japanese cavalry movement in the rear, and later judged that the cavalry might have come to the front to deal with my heavy cavalry.

Speaking of our guild's heavy cavalry completely surpassing the Japanese heavy cavalry, in the heavy cavalry this aspect is Japan's weakness, their heavy cavalry in the world is the bottom, but the turn just now is very necessary, although our cavalry is not afraid of the Japanese cavalry, but the other side of the army is too many, in case our cavalry is blocked, even if it is only a decrease in speed, it will no longer have an impact effect, and then there will be a large number of casualties, our goal is to deter the Japanese army from advancing, not to fight with the Japanese, While there are no large casualties, it is necessary to make the most of the advantages, and besides, there are not many soldiers that our guild can use now. Try to be as frugal as possible.

Matsumoto Masaga may also know our predicament, they use light cavalry to touch our heavy cavalry, and do not hesitate to consume my remaining troops with a large number of cavalry, this kind of man-for-man dispatch is good for Matsumoto Masaga, who has the advantage of troops, but we don't want to exchange with him. Seeing that the heavy cavalry had suddenly run away, Matsumoto Masaga did not hesitate to order the light cavalry to continue to charge forward and pursue my troops.

In terms of impact and lethal effect, the heavy cavalry is definitely much more powerful than the light cavalry, but of course, the running speed is still faster than the light cavalry, although our heavy cavalry ran in front, but the light cavalry behind quickly chased up, it is not a good thing to be chased by others, seeing that the two teams of cavalry are about to catch up. The eagle suddenly raised the flag in his hand, and all the horses in the row with him jumped up in a small neat jump, and followed the cavalry behind him to this position and jumped with him.

The Japanese cavalry followed behind and fell into the ground, where did they see our cavalry and the small movements in front of them, and when their people arrived at the position where the eagle raised the flag just now, a steel cable on the ground suddenly straightened and bounced up, and the Japanese cavalry did not know that there would be a tripping rope here, and it was okay to see our people running over just now, but they were hit as soon as they arrived.

A burst of neighing of war horses in the Japanese light cavalry forward of the war horse neatly tripped a big heel, the war horse gnawed its head to the ground, the cavalry followed and turned out and was pressed to the top by the war horse, the cavalry behind because the speed was too fast to dodge, the result of the hula all crashed together, fortunately, the light cavalry reacted quickly, and the rear half of the troops were all bypassed from both sides, that is, the front part was all planted there.

This is laid out in the past by a few players in our guild who will be invisible, but the plan is what I thought, and General Wu is a strategic general in the rear. The commander-in-chief is a master, but I am a master of tactical skills, and this rope helped the cavalry a lot, and the Japanese cavalry finally caught up with him and was pulled away.

Although the light cavalry is faster than the heavy cavalry, everyone is cavalry, and the speed is just a little faster, as long as the heavy cavalry does not stop, such a distance has to chase for a long time, seeing that the platform in front has arrived, the heavy cavalry sped up. The rumbling sound of horses' hooves quickly rushed to the springboard.

The heavy cavalry on our side all rushed back to the opening above the city along the springboard, and the follow-up cavalry continued to rush up, when the last cavalry stepped on the springboard and did not wait for them all to enter the city, the springboard had automatically begun to slowly rise, and the follow-up Japanese cavalry was only two horses away from the last person of our heavy cavalry at this time, and the gangplank was raised, and the first cavalry urged the horse to jump up, and the follow-up cavalry followed and jumped up, but only five or six rows of people went up. When the seventh row arrived, the gangplank was already too high, and most of the horses that jumped up hit the sandalwood of the springboard and fell on all sides. The cavalry who had just rushed up did not know that the people behind them had not followed, and the cavalry just charged and did not care about the people around them, and the Japanese cavalry who had chased our heavy cavalry had just raised their weapons and were pierced by the thin red rays shot from above the city, and they fell down.

It was so close to Esinger that it had entered the defense range of small arms, these Japanese cavalry were indeed very brave, but unfortunately their brains were a little short, they should not be chased at this time, and the follow-up Japanese cavalry chased to the bottom of the city, but the gangplank had risen more than two meters. If the cavalry goes up on their own, it is possible, but the war horse can't go up anyway, but the cavalry goes up by itself without a horse, so is it still called a cavalry?

There were not many Japanese cavalry on the gangplank, and they were quickly slaughtered, and the mechanical gears actually shook the gangplank a few times and shook all the corpses down, and then the gangplank automatically folded up and returned to the city. The armor on the twenty exits on the city wall fell back to close the wall, and the Japanese cavalry could only look at the city below, but there was nothing to do about the city, and what was needed to deal with a city like Isenger was a special infantry attack force.

After disposing of those smoke screens, the daily average finally resumed its unimpeded command, and the army resumed the charge, but compared to ten minutes ago, they were delayed too much in time, and they also paid a heavy price of more than 30,000 casualties, and what made Matsumoto Masaga even more angry was that the Esinger heavy cavalry who caused this bloody incident actually only killed three people and wounded two.

Matsumoto Masaka commanded the army to chase closer and closer, but they became more and more anxious. There is already the sea in front of Esinger, and the row of tracks at the front of the city is no more than three hundred meters from the coastline, can this not make Matsumoto Masaka anxious?

At the current rate, it is speculated that most of Isenger has already reached the surface of the sea when Matsumoto Masaga's army catches up with us, and the rest will not stay on land for long, at least not enough time for Matsumoto Masaga to storm in.

Rose frowned at me, and came over to help me rub her forehead: "Matsumoto Masaka can't catch up with us anymore, what are you worried about?" ”

"What I'm really worried about now is not the Japanese military."

General Wu looked at me suspiciously: "What are you not worried about the Japanese army?" ”

I pointed to my feet: "Worry about Isengard." ”

"What is there to worry about Isengard?"

"He's worried about the anti-gravity device." Walmart was right.

Rose looked at me and said, "If we can't fly, we'll just float over." ”

Walmart explained to me, "I used to be able to float through, but now I'm afraid I can't." ”

"Why?"

"Have you forgotten that there are still a few big holes in the walls of Isinger?"

When Walmart said this, everyone understood. Isenger is now injured, the hole in the wall will definitely be flooded, and without the help of gravity defying devices, Isenger will really become an underwater city!
