Chapter 83: The Decisive Battle (2)
Not surprisingly, under the blow of a dense rain of stones and clods, the formation of the allied troops in the first row, who were charging, suddenly appeared some confusion.
When we encountered this kind of long-range attack, we were really stunned for a while, although there were not many casualties, but the feeling of being unable to dodge made every soldier's heart tremble.
This time, the performance of the coalition army was much better, because the soldiers in the charge who had not fought with outsiders had more or less understood the tactics of outsiders in advance from the packets sent by their companions, and were mentally prepared.
But the information conveyed in the information packet is, after all, not as good as the personal experience. When they experienced the blows of stones and clods denser than raindrops, many fighters were still at a loss.
Some of the soldiers were following the experience they had been taught, and continued to charge regardless of it, quickly narrowing the distance between them and the enemy. This is the right thing to do, as long as you get close to the enemy, you will not be hit by such a long-range attack again.
But some fighters hovered in place, trying to dodge blows with their agile figures. This move is completely futile, there are too many stones and clods of dirt, and the speed is too fast, and it is not possible to dodge them all with excellent vision, sharp reflexes, and agile movements.
The fighters suffered the heaviest casualties, and the longer they stayed in place, the more likely they were to suffer heavy losses. Whether it's arthropods, antennae, or internal organs, injuries can make it impossible for a best warrior to escape the battlefield alive today.
There were also some cowardly warriors, faced with an attack they had never seen before, and began to turn around and retreat to the line where the attack was launched. These cowards were rightfully despised by the coalition forces, but the chief warrior of their tribe had already rushed forward, and no one could punish them for the time being, and all they could give was disdainful glances.
Such cowards are still in the minority, and most fighters are still able to survive these ranged attacks and rush to the front of the enemy formation.
However, this is the beginning of the real battle, and the beginning of a bloodier battlefield.
At the forefront, it is often some heroic chief warrior.
Faced with the unusually tight defensive front of the army of outsiders, many first-time warriors would hesitate to start. After all, conflicts or wars between our clans, after entering the hand-to-hand battle, will evolve more into catching and killing, and the victor will go on to find a new opponent (imagine the war scenes in many martial arts movies).
But now, the enemy's formation showed no sign of loosening, and they were still closely arranged, with their jaws in unison, and the fragile sides and tail full of weaknesses were well hidden.
A number of impatient warriors rushed forward, trying to pull an enemy out of the ranks with their long, pointed jaws.
But her move hit the enemy trap.
As soon as she stepped forward, before the big jaw could touch the target, the enemies on the left and right suddenly burst forward and surrounded her. And this soldier left and left, but there were no other comrades to support her.
As a result, she was immediately bitten by several enemies, and in just an instant, all six limbs and tentacles were torn off, and the warrior immediately fainted in pain. She is already certain to die.
Some of the chief warriors were quick to see the opportunity, and they saw that they had to break through the enemy's tight lines before they could drag the battle into the melee that our people excelled at.
So after a long-range strike through the rain of stones and clods, these fighters crashed headlong into the enemy line without slowing down.
They were like giant beetles running wildly, smashing out one gap after another in the enemy's battle line.
At the gap, the battle line of the outsiders finally loosened, and the follow-up coalition soldiers immediately seized this rare opportunity and followed, finding out the enemies who had been scattered and lost their formation and eliminated them one by one.
The enemy is small and not big in jaws, and he is no match for our brave warriors.
But this kind of assault that broke through the battle line was difficult to sustain, and the enemy's dense formation like small squares appeared not only on the front line, but also in two rows behind.
The exhausted chief warrior is often blocked by the enemy's second line after breaking through the first line, and then gets caught in a dogfight. Many of the valiant chief warriors were killed in this disgraceful siege.
After the momentum of the first wave of assaults was contained, the battle between the coalition forces and the outsiders entered a fever pitch. On the long front, countless warriors on both sides were fighting fiercely with their big jaws.
The situation began to develop in a direction unfavorable to our army:
The battle lines of the outsiders gradually regained their integrity, and they gradually filled the gaps that had been broken in the battle.
However, the coalition fighters still failed to find an opportunity to find a breakthrough to expand the confusion of the enemy's front, thus pulling the battle into a melee combat.
Now, both sides are lined up in a neat battle line, probing each other with their big jaws, and once they have a part of the enemy's body, they will pull the enemy out with all their might, and then rush up and destroy them.
Our warriors are not used to this style of play, even though they have longer jaws, which makes it easier to catch enemies and drag them out.
However, there were too many enemies, and each fighter of the coalition forces had to face three or four outsiders covering each other head-on, and it was difficult to have a chance to capture one enemy alone.
Second, our warriors have hardly ever experienced this style of combat, and we have slender bodies and slender limbs, and we are adept at one-on-one grappling with the most vicious enemies in movement and movement. Now we have to arrange in a rigid formation, mechanically attacking or defending straight ahead, which is tantamount to abandoning our specialty.
This is the frustration of fighting outsiders, and we have to adapt to the enemy's tactics, but it is difficult to break them.
Under this mode of fighting, the advantage of our warriors' individual combat effectiveness is gone, but the enemy who is good at collective combat is getting smoother and smoother.
After several previous battles of varying sizes, many knowledgeable chief fighters also realized this problem.
If the battle continues in this way, sooner or later we will lose because of our inferior forces.
This stalemate must be broken!
Originally, in the charge, there was a certain hope of breaking the enemy's battle line by using the speed and impact of the charge. Some of the most valiant warriors did make it through, but they all fell in front of the second line of battle laid by the cunning enemy. And in the rear, there is a third front of the enemy.
Only fighters with stronger assault capabilities will be able to break through the enemy's three fronts at once and completely disrupt the enemy's formation.
Thinking of this, I looked back to my right, where there were tall hill warriors!
