Chapter XXXVII
The 200 halberd soldiers obviously couldn't take care of the entire front, and the enemy's clever behavior made them passively follow the rhythm of the other party, which made the entire defense system a little chaotic, which was also something that Yang Bing, a rookie who commanded a real urban offensive and defensive battle for the first time, did not expect.
The unintentional actions of the coalition infantry endangered the entire defense line of Baiyun City, Yang Bing's army had not yet given the coalition heavyweight casualties, although the large number of deaths of the coalition infantry made the balance of victory have leaned towards Baiyun City, but once the coalition army broke through the defense line of the halberd soldiers and rushed to the city, it would definitely slaughter a large number of civilians, even if Yang Bing could still win the victory in the end, but Baiyun City would be destroyed to the moment of the initial construction, and even more miserable than at that time, because when the city was first built, Yang Bing still had a certain amount of gold coins and resources in hand, but now the resources of Baiyun City have long been exhausted, and it has really reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted and it is difficult to move forward, and the first can only barely maintain the operation, so it can still talk about development and growth. If he was destroyed by them once, Yang Bing would even have the heart to commit suicide.
However, he is a rookie on the battlefield after all, he didn't expect these crises at all, and he didn't have any awareness at all, he just looked through some Romance of the Three Kingdoms, found a similar case, and prepared to imitate the tune, at this time he was leading the rapid troops of Baiyun City from the north gate, and then went around in a big circle to prepare to attack the flank of the coalition army.
When the coalition infantry and the halberd soldiers defending the city were fighting each other, and the attack was hot, Yang Bing took all the remaining fast troops from the north gate to the flank of the coalition army, and their target was the nearly 300 long-range troops.
The archers relied on the offensive to be condescending and five times their own enemies were on par, and by the time Yang Bing appeared on the flank of the coalition with his fast troops, there were already nearly fifty orcs and lizardmen who had fallen under their arrows, and of course the archers also paid some price for it.
The long-range troops of the coalition army are standing alone in the center of the battlefield at this time, happily shooting at the archers in the city, and those infantry all ran to the edge of the city to fight the halberders, but the monitor lizards do not want to risk standing within the range of the archers, and there are no heroes in the coalition army, and the monitor lizards with high ranks suddenly become the supreme commander of the army, and it is unlikely that they will come to Baiyun City to defend the city, and there will be no troops to attack these long-range troops, so there is no army left to protect the lizards and orcs.
Yang Bing's army appeared from the side to surprise the monitor lizards, the stalemate of the war, and the tenacity of Baiyun City was even more unexpected by the monitor lizards, and now at this time, Yang Bing's battle against the Yellow Dragon has become the key to determining the outcome of this war.
As long as the infantry of the coalition army can use this time to rush into the city in one fell swoop and cause chaos in the city, then these monitor lizards can join the battle at this time, and they can quickly eliminate the remaining halberds.
On the contrary, if the long-range troops of the coalition army are wiped out, the archers of Baiyun City will be able to cooperate with the halberdiers to destroy the infantry of the coalition army, with long-range strikes with bows and arrows from afar, and the sharp blades of halberders at close range, and behind them is a moat full of sharp thorns, and these infantry will all die under Baiyun City.
There is no pre-war preparation, there is no mutual connection and cooperation between the troops, and they only flock to the city wall, which is similar to the Yellow Turban Army in history, which can also be said to be the biggest failure of the coalition army, of course, with the IQ of the monitor lizard, let them play with the cooperation, it is really difficult for them, but when Yang Bing's army appeared on their side, the monitor lizards with a certain IQ still knew that Yang Bing could not let their own long-range troops be exterminated.
However, now that all the melee troops in their hands are surrounded by the city wall, there are no more troops to protect the long-range troops except themselves, so after weighing the pros and cons, they have to use themselves as meat shields, these thoughts are just a flash in the minds of the monitor lizards, and they immediately quickly move closer to the distant troops.
As early as Yang Bing appeared on the side of the long-range troops with the nomadic cavalry, and let the nomads surprise the long-range troops, he deliberately paid attention to these monitor lizards, and then clicked on the number of these monitor lizards, a total of 10 is not too much, the monitor lizard is the fourth-order elite army of the swamp clan, green scale armor, there is a big meat crown on the head, the offensive and defensive resistance is very good, although they are reptiles, but their speed is comparable to fast horses, and there are several sudden sorties of monitor lizards that almost bit Yang Bing's nomadic cavalry.
Creature: Monitor lizard
Rank: Tier 4 Elite
Attack: 12
Defense: 12
Health: 40
Lethality: 6-10
Speed: 7
Morale: 0
Lucky: 0
Skill: Petrify (There is a 20% chance to petrify the enemy when biting the enemy, if it is not attacked, it will return to normal after 30 minutes.) Dragons who are free from magic cannot be petrified. )
As a fourth-order soldier, the strength of monitor lizards lies in their special skills, all creatures attacked by them have a certain chance of being petrified, although they can recover after a period of time, but if they are petrified by monitor lizards on the battlefield, then the fate of petrified creatures is basically announced, and in the end they are slapped into a pile of gravel by monitor lizards.
When the monitor lizard approached the long-range troops of the coalition army, and Yang Bing had already commanded the troops to charge from the moment he appeared, he rode on a horse and did not charge with the nomads, because his attack and defense and blood volume did not allow him to make a meat shield, of course, in order to reduce the impact surface of the long-range attack, all the cavalry scattered into a wide cavalry line, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves attracted the attention of the long-range troops, and someone had already turned the target of the attack here, and the poisonous flies were close to the ground and relied on the cover of the grass, The high-speed overtaking nomad cavalry flew past the coalition's ranged units, which had to rush ahead of the monitor lizards and orcs.
Both armies were racing against time, and it could really be described as a race against time, the wooden fence had been damaged in many places, and the halberders were also exhausted, but the long-range troops of this coalition army did not find the poison cangs approaching at high speed, but launched an attack on the nomadic cavalry.
Yang Bing, who has always liked to bully others with arrow rain, also experienced the power of arrow rain this time, although he hid in the back of the cavalry, but it did not mean that he was outside the cover of the arrow rain, only to see the three-foot-long feather arrow cut through the sky and went straight to the cavalry, from the direction of Yang Bing, he could only see the black dot in front of him that represented the sharp tip of the arrow, and the black dot in the sky made people look at it and give birth to the idea of turning around and fleeing, and the arrow rain was also mixed with a short axe thrown by a group of half-orcs, dripping whistling, It makes the power of the rain of arrows even better.
"Raise your shield." Yang Bing had taken these into account earlier, and created a wooden shield for each cavalry, although it was not as good as his dwarf king shield, but it also allowed the cavalry to face the long-range troops, so that they would not have to rely on their bodies to resist, although the wooden shield was wrapped with a layer of iron, but after all, the whole body was wood, the weight was quite moderate, and it did not affect the mobility, and the most valuable thing was that the defense was not bad.
