On the simple map compiled by the Harmony Chamber of Commerce, the nameless village where the war started is only a simple number. It was recorded because there were hundreds of people in the village and there was a well.

But the village is so poor that there are few commodities to trade. Only a small number of people are employed by the Chamber of Commerce to do some manual labor.

For the Hutton family in Broken Bridge City, this village formed by the outcasts did not exist. The villagers are unable to pay any taxes, as if there are cockroaches and fleas in the house, and only the old men will be disgusted.

If it weren't for the light cavalry led by Zhou Qingfeng, Kyle. Halton would never have come to this place more than 20 kilometers away from the city in his life, nor would he know the terrain and features of the vicinity.

Now all the low-rise buildings in the village have been demolished to build a rudimentary defensive line. Not only did the villagers have to demolish their homes with their own hands, but they were also driven out of the line after their work, and they were forbidden to go any further.

When the scar-faced strong man Sark led the team out, several wandering villagers couldn't dodge and were mercilessly knocked down by the tall war horses. These horses are blessed with speed and strength by the wizards of the army, and the impact is multiplied.

Kyle. Horton watched his generals attack with a cold face, and waved his hand. Several archers pulled the strings at 45 degrees and fired several ignited rockets out of a hundred meters.

The rocket is wrapped in a strip of cloth stained with grease, like a few flares, marking a bright trajectory in the night sky, and after landing, it can burn for a few minutes, exposing the whereabouts of the opponent.

At the moment when the bright light flickered, Zhou Qingfeng also watched with attention. The men and horses of Broken Bridge City actually took the initiative to attack, and the cavalry behind him was eager to try.

A 500-meter-wide link network covered most of the battlefield, and officers at all levels of the infantry regiment transmitted the information they had obtained to Zhou Qingfeng's head, and then he made decisions and passed them on to the corresponding teams.

Messengers will only be dispatched if the distance exceeds 500 meters, or if it requires a reward or admonition in person.

In this way, Uncle Zhou is simply a battlefield router.

The elite heavy cavalry on the opposite side had just come out, and a battalion of the infantry regiment codenamed 'Rock' had just completed the formation. The whole battalion of 120 people, three rows and forty columns, immediately turned the head of the gun, and strode forward with the beat of the drum.

Tonight is the first battle, and it is another difficult night battle.

Ma Han couldn't help it, and was determined to engage in 'front-line command', so he followed the 'rock' with a big shield. The regiment commander went to the front line, forcing the officers at all levels below to press down.

With the sound of the snare drums, the 120-strong 'Rock' stopped every 20 meters of advance, and stopped for 100 meters to form a barrier to protect the other two battalions in the rear to continue the formation.

Three rows of infantry stood shoulder to shoulder, only a fist's distance between them. In the front row, the spear is stationed, the body is half-squatting, and the foot is stepped on. The back two rows have spears on the shoulders of the front rows, forming a hedgehog-like formation.

The enemy on the opposite side rushed towards him with a roaring hoove.

Even with the extravagant use of night vision potions, the infantry could not see far. They did not know the number of enemies and the direction they were in, but they felt that the impact of more than 20 horsemen was no different from that of thousands of troops, which made people panic.

Night combat training requires a high quality of soldiers. The infantry of Coldwind City has only been in the army for half a year, so it is not very mature. The soldiers' eyes widened, and they felt the throbbing of their hearts, and the inexplicable fear made humans instinctively want to escape.

As a commander, Mahan could clearly feel the mood swings of the soldiers in the face of actual combat. He shouted, raised his large shield as he had led a thousand adventures in the past, and walked straight to the front of the line.

This time, Zhou Qingfeng did not force Mahan to return to the command position.

"No one is allowed to retreat, all officers are to be lined up first, and those who violate the order will be executed by military law."

Mahan's voice is quite hoarse, but also has a unique identity. As soon as he gave the order, all the officers of the 'Rock' battalion, including the squad leader and squad deputy, could only stand up and form another column in front of the whole battalion.

The system of Coldwind City dictates that it is quite difficult to become a deserter, and it is even more difficult for an officer to defect. The link network was working, and as soon as Mahan came out, his subordinates had to follow.

The archers of Broken Bridge followed the heavy cavalry, constantly throwing rockets to show the way for the impact.

The unusual response of the Coldwind infantry stunned Scarbox. The elites of Broken Bridge City have already completed a slight acceleration, but if they really want to hit the spears of the infantry, the old man will not do it.

In the past, when the infantry encountered heavy cavalry, they could feel the momentum of the sky and the earth cracking a hundred meters away, and immediately scattered and fled. But today, this infantry army is in good order, and the cavalry still maintains a formation when it rushes to a range of thirty meters.

The distance of thirty meters was nothing more than a blink of an eye for the cavalry that attacked.

If he didn't want to actually rush forward, Scarbox would have to turn his horse's head. He shouted on horseback, and saw a man with a large shield on the opposite side, who seemed to be a leader, and casually threw the tomahawk he was holding.

The cavalry tomahawk is different from that used by the infantry, the axe handle is only about one meter, and the axe blade is the size of a palm. This thing is two or three kilograms at most, and it comes whirling with the speed given by the horse's sprint.

With ......a bang, Mahan felt that his entire left arm was numb, and the tower shield was hit, and the impact was not small. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, several screams sounded around him.

The twenty-odd elites that Scarscar was carrying all turned in front of the 'Rock' battalion, and all of them threw their weapons at hand as if they were darts.

At this moment, more than 20 heavy weapons struck, most of which hit the hoplites in the column. In particular, the officers who were ordered to stand on the front line bore the brunt.

The impact of the acceleration of the horses was quite large, and the officers were not a huge tower shield in their hands. Faced with bows and arrows and throwing weapons, hoplites can basically only bow their heads and shake their spears to block.

It's a gamble.

A dense forest of guns greatly increases the chance of parrying, and thick forged helmets and plate armor can also withstand normal attacks. Plus......

All officers and front-line soldiers have at least one 'Shield' gem in their hands. At the critical moment, everyone crushed the gem and activated the arcane 'shield'.

Many officers in the front row were smashed by axes, hammers, broadswords, etc., and the invisible shield greatly weakened the power of throwing weapons.

Except for two platoon-level officers who were slashed off their bare limbs, the screams of the others were mostly frightened. After all, in the dark night, everyone will scream.

Several officers got up on their own after being hit, and found that good defense saved their lives. Even the wounded were dragged away by the health guards to bandage them, so as not to bleed and scream on the front line and affect the mood of other soldiers.

More than 20 heavy weapons fell to the ground, and the damage was still within the tolerable range. The morale of the 'Rock' battalion suddenly soared, and the officers and soldiers gained confidence several times over, which was more effective than a hundred times on the training ground.

The enemy is not as strong as you think.

The soldiers' cries were filled with obvious joy, which made Scarcass and the others, who had just turned their horses' heads, turn their heads and look back.

It was expected that this hand-throwing weapon was a killing move, and it should have cut at least a dozen people, causing the team of hundreds of people to collapse in an instant. After taking a blow, not only was he not depressed, but he also cheered, it was the first time I had seen it.

Under the light of the projectile rockets, several knocked down infantry could be seen staggering to their feet again. There is not much loss in the queue at all.

"These guys are too defensive. They don't know if they are afraid? ”

Scar Sax urged the horse to launch another wave of attacks, and after rushing to the side if the front line was not working, the weakness of the infantry's poor mobility was not saved.

But before he could give the order, a companion behind him exclaimed: "Sark, there is a group of cavalry behind us." ”
