Chapter 307 Choice
Deyong, as his name suggests, is extremely brave.
He's a second-generation official, but if you think he's a simple stupid B straw bag, then I can only hehe! In fact, he graduated from the War Academy of the Beast Empire with very good grades, which is not water-free. In the upper echelons of the beast clan, there is no tradition of asking for convenience for their children or going through the back door, and entering the academy is to fend for himself, although some instructors and students will look at him differently, but in essence, the quality of his grades depends on his personal ability.
He got the certificate of completion through formal channels, and his grades were among the best, and he was signed and recognized by the dean. Let's talk about actual combat, maybe at the beginning, he was still a Zhao Kuo who talked on paper, but he has been going out with the army, and he has experienced a lot of battles large and small, and he is not lacking in actual combat experience......
When he arrived with his powerful hoplite wing, he looked at the extra-long trench that suddenly appeared out of thin air as if it had been overnight......
It seems that these humans have been prepared for a long time! But this shows even more that the other party knows the lack of its own combat power and wants to shorten the gap between the two sides by digging fortifications!
"This battle must be fought, otherwise the people on the other side will definitely slip away. The enemy, mostly light infantry, is no slower than my troops, and they must be left on the steppe! ”
Deyong secretly made up his mind to fight. However, the big picture has been determined, but the details have yet to be worked out......
Without him, defense is always cheaper than offense, especially when one's own heavy troops have to attack such trenches with too large a gap in level. It's even more of a big loss. He is not a dumbfounder, and he can't do it because he can't do it at a loss......
Time. The air on the battlefield is eerie. The Terran forces were already on the ground, and the orc army had just arrived. But because he did not receive the commander's order, he stood still.
Seeing that the enemy commander was not a stupid guy who could only get his blood pumping, Lynch felt that it was time to act...... He was actually surprised by the current situation, after all, such a big trench had to be weighed if he wanted to rush. He's going to add a fire......
The more than 20,000 militia units that had just done the earthwork, plus some Wehrmacht soldiers, would be concentrated in the rear.
Lynch's order to them was: "Clean up the guys, turn around and slowly retreat!" ”
This order came at a strange time. 140,000 Terran Forward Troops. The strength is absolutely unable to compete with the elite hoplite wing of 80,000 beast clans, and this side has made nearly 40,000 soldiers retreat and prepare to run away, isn't this a cheat? Is this to abandon the rhythm of the battle?
No! It's not about giving up the fight, it's about forcing the opponent to take a stand!
Going to fight? Want to stay? Whatever you think, my brother is ready to run away! The more than 40,000 rear troops turned around and retreated, just to send such a message to the enemy.
Deyong is in a hurry! Against the enemy's actions, he naturally saw it in real. The geographical location here is delicate, and it is not too far behind the Terran position, and it only takes a short time. They will be able to retreat into the wooded terrain of the hills and trees, and thus break away from the endless savannah!
Herein lies the problem! Deyong's hoplites, without cavalry, charged on the steppe. That's comparable to the combat power of cavalry. But what if you enter a hilly forest landscape? The situation was very different, and the hoplites were taboo with such complex terrain, which prevented them from making the most of their heavy characteristics. For example, a tall minotaur. Wearing heavy armor and lifting heavy shields (what do you call them hoplites?)
Although the orcs were mostly poor, they had to be armed with a small amount of heavy infantry equipment. You can still get it. These bullaurs and tiger men are the marshal's baby bumps. The orcs are a rare heavy-armored unit), and they are naturally invincible in the plains, but if they go to climb mountains and wade through rivers, they are still blocked by trees everywhere, even with their physique, wearing such a weight of armor, I am afraid that they will be tired enough. What's more, the advantage of their biggest cluster formation will also be gone!
This is the reason why you are anxious about what Deyong is! He didn't want to fight the humans in a difficult terrain, but now he was blocked by this big trench. The most important thing is that he doesn't have time to prepare the equipment for the attack, this is still the prairie, where are the trees for him to cut down? There are them in the distance, but it's too late to prepare......
He didn't doubt that the humans were preparing to retreat to the woodland, because if it was him, he would also find a way to leave the plains when he found out that the opponent was a heavy army, not to mention that although the humans hadn't all retreated yet, more than 40,000 people in the rear team were gone, so the next thing would be the Chinese army and the front team. It's only a matter of time before you retreat!
Can't let them slip into the woods!
Lynch's ploy has worked! The orc army did attack......
During the time that Deyong was thinking, it was not that he gained nothing, in fact, he also figured it out, so he couldn't just treat this battle as a tough battle? What's more, the trench dug by the other party in a hurry is just a "dirt" trench, and it can't be compared with the fortified city at all. The minotaurs under his command are all strong and strong, if they are near the bottom of the ditch, they use their hands to lift them, and then the smaller tiger people use their strength to throw them up, how can they throw 7 or 8 meters?
Then his elite tiger people can almost directly attack the enemy, and the worst is basically at the top, and it is not difficult to kill it if you do one or two more moves!
Although this had to give up the advantage of the charge, although it made it difficult to attack, and although it might make the Minotaur troops temporarily unable to enter the attack sequence, he was still more confident in his men than if he had to let the humans into the complex hills, and even possibly escape!
After making many trade-offs, his army began to march forward in a neat manner, then changed from a tread to a small stride, and after a period of acceleration, maintained a relatively fast running speed......
None of them were doing the sprint, and with their heavy armor, they had to take into account the problem of maintaining their physical strength, and it was almost impossible to do it with all their strength, unless the battle was nearing its end!
"Launch!"
Lynch takes command of the already prepared archer unit and begins their long-range bow strike!
A rain of arrows that covered the sky dimmed the light over the entire battlefield, and then fiercely shot onto the pre-calibrated shooting elements.
Without exception, the archers of these Royal Guard and Wehrmacht Corps all used a large angle of nearly 40 degrees, and after the arrow crossed a parabola in the air, it fell rapidly, and under the effect of gravity, it increased a lot of speed, and at the same time increased their penetration and lethality...... (To be continued......)
