Chapter Twenty-Seven: Doubts

While the horse thieves were shooting at the phalanx of the Wanghai Town Guards with weak arrows in vain, on the other side of the battlefield, the first guard of the former army also came into contact with the Monroe phalanx set up by the Fogstein Guards led by Knight Leonard.

For the first guard of the front army, the Fogstein guard was not as polite as the Bai Qi phalanx, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the powerful arrows fired by the heavy crossbow made the soldiers of the first guard fall a lot.

Fortunately, the front army is the elite under the command of the King of the North Sea, and the equipment is not bad, in the fish scale array, walking in the first row are all sword and shield men holding iron-clad thick wooden shields, and the shields block most of the crossbow arrows, but the crossbowmen of the Vogostan Guard are all highly skilled archers, who can seize the gap in the shield of the fish scale array sword and shield men and shoot the soldiers behind.

The crossbowmen in the fish scale array also fought back, but unfortunately the strength of the crossbowmen in the Beihai King's army was too weak, not even a first-class warrior, and the arrows shot were not powerful, even if they occasionally happened to shoot into the defensive gap of the phalanx and shot into the array, it was difficult to shoot through the opponent's solid infantry armor.

The Fish Scale Formation quickly engaged with the standard infantry phalanx, and after several fish scale formations outflanked and encircled, the infantry phalanx was surrounded in the middle.

When the two sides are close to each other, the crossbowmen inside the Fish Scale Array and the Phalanx will not be able to continue their attacks, and their vision will be blocked by the entangled own soldiers.

When the soldiers of the Sea King Army saw that the enemy was surrounded, they were immediately overjoyed, and they rushed towards the phalanx one after another, intending to rely on the number of people to crush the opponent and break the phalanx.

But soon they realized that they had made a mistake, and the disparity in the individual strength of the soldiers suddenly became apparent, and when the two sides were close to each other, the pikemen in the standard infantry phalanx. As soon as the spear was raised, the sword and shield hand in front of the fish scale array flew out.

Although he picked up the sword and shield hand. However, the lack of flexibility of the infantry phalanx also showed itself, and the heavy infantry on the periphery needed to maintain the formation. Not daring to pursue, the pikemen behind were blocked by the heavy infantry, and the crossbowmen inside were blocked by their own soldiers on the periphery.

If there was no contact between the two sides, the outer tower shieldmen would have inserted their shields into the ground, revealing a gap at the top, and the pikemen would crouch on the ground to make room for the crossbowmen to shoot, but now that the two sides were in close combat, the pikemen were all on their feet. The crossbowman's firing gap is gone.

The Beihai King Army, which was taken aback by the strength of the other party, also hurriedly retreated, opened up a distance, regrouped, and did not dare to come forward for a while.

In this way, no one on either side can help the other, and it is so deadlocked.

Although the individual strength of the Vogostein Guards is strong, the opponent is outnumbered, and they will never dare to disperse the formation, once the formation is dispersed. Even if they were to win, they would suffer heavy casualties, especially the crossbowmen who needed protection.

On the side of the Beihai King's army, although there are many people. But with the strength of the individual, the Fogstein guards who formed the tortoise shell had no way.

This is a situation that the Vogostein Guards have encountered more than once before when they were fighting on the continent of Salen. An infantry phalanx meets an infantry phalanx, if there is not much difference in number and quality of soldiers. In general, no one can help anyone.

To break through the infantry phalanx, it is not possible to rely on the infantry. The best way is to rely on the knight to lead the heavy cavalry to force a breakthrough, and only the knight can easily tear through the layers of defense laid by the heavy infantry.

Of course, it would be better to have a mage above the intermediate level, and an arcane bomb could tear a hole in the phalanx.

This side is in a stalemate, on the other side, the horse thieves around the Bai Qi team are also a little blind, although for some reason, the enemy did not fight back, but they also have no way to the other party, and most of these horse thieves do not even have a decent armor, it is said that the light cavalry is a little reluctant, and how to rush to the shield wall and gun forest that even the heavy cavalry can block, can only helplessly gallop around the phalanx, after a while, even the arrow is too lazy to shoot......

Looking at such a scene, Liu Beishan was not happy, in order to preserve his strength, he had already aroused Huo Shizhen's dissatisfaction, such a situation may make people misunderstand that he had an affair with Wanghai Town!

Although Liu Beishan had already regretted Zhao'an, he didn't think about going back on his word, as long as he thought about the powerful backer behind the King of Beihai, he shuddered.

He had the heart to lead his elite to attack the Bai Qi phalanx, but he shuddered at the thought of the powerful crossbow arrows that the slightly larger phalanx had shot at the fish scale array just now. These elites under him are only good at kung fu, but the equipment is ordinary, and the armor manufacturing of the Great Zhou is all in the hands of the government, and it is impossible for ordinary people to have good armor in their hands.

Martial artists are flexible, fighting alone, wearing armor or not, the difference is not big, but in the battle array, wearing armor or not is a world of difference.

Let his five hundred elites attack the infantry phalanx, it is like sending him to death.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Beishan could only sigh and give up the idea.

Liu Beishan was full of helplessness here, and Huo Shizhen in the fish scale array on the other side saw this scene, and his face was also shocked.

Although Huo Shizhen treated Liu Beishan harshly before, he simply looked down on the horse thief, and did not suspect Liu Beishan's intentions, but now he can't help but think about it too much.

Huo Shizhen also planned to rely on his own personal force to try to tear open the other party's turtle shell, but when he saw this situation, he immediately dispelled his thoughts.

Even the knight was suspicious......

In this way, whether it was the reserve of the first guard of the former army or the knight's green dragon iron cavalry, they did not dare to act easily, and they were secretly prepared in case Liu Beishan really changed.

Although the knight didn't expect it, it may be that the other party's spies found out the contradiction between Liu Beishan and Huo Shizhen, and deliberately put up a suspicious formation, but he didn't dare to act rashly, he didn't dare to take risks.

In the midst of such suspicions, the deputy commander of the first guard of the former army, who remained in the rear, gave the order to withdraw his troops.

Watching the Beihai King's side slowly retreat, Andre's side also took the initiative to retreat and disengaged from contact.

At this time, the Bai Qi phalanx, which had not fought back, suddenly struck, and the crossbowmen shot and injured the war horses of several horse thieves who happened to run to the rear of the phalanx, and the war horses fell, leaving these horse thieves on the battlefield.

The wounded horse thieves tried to run, but were stopped by several rangers from the Knights of Vogostan......

This small episode in the rear of the battlefield did not arouse too many people's ideas, after all, it was a battlefield of several thousand people, and a few battles were really not worth paying attention to.

The armies of the two sides disengaged, and the Beihai King's army retreated cautiously, until they retreated more than ten miles away, in the camp on the low mountain.

Fergostan's army saw the opponent return to the camp, and then withdrew to the earthen fort. (To be continued......)
