Chapter 464: Count to Every Step
In war, the so-called time and place are favorable, but in fact, it is often the location that is the most important.
A slope, even if it is only 50 meters high, but a gentle slope with a length of several hundred meters or even longer, can actually determine many things.
No one likes to climb hills, and even more so people in war, because climbing not only slows down, but also consumes more physical strength.
What's more, you don't know what's waiting for you on the other side of the slope.
As a well-known general of the Morty family, it is certainly impossible for Vika not to be unaware of this, but at this moment, she has to give such an order.
She can't wait, with the current state of the troops, projection attacks like before, no more, two more rounds, the morale of the troops will collapse, then she is really completely familiar, and fighting this one, she at least has a glimmer of hope.
However, of course, she didn't know that it was all her own wishful thinking.
Her fate had already been decided when she led her troops into Joanna's pocket formation.
Zhu Lingqi made a total of two troop transfers, the first time was when Joanna arranged the pocket array.
Just like Lu Zijing said, she and Zhu Lingqi both saw the flaws in Joanna's pockets.
There are two in total, and they exist relatively, but behind the flaws on one side is a mountain leading to the top wall, and behind the other side is a passable road, so it goes without saying how to deploy troops.
Therefore, in fact, at the same time that Joanna's pocket array was arranged, Zhu Lingqi had already led the troops and waited on Vika's escape route.
And the second transfer of troops was when Vika began to break through.
Zhu Lingqi watched the entire breakthrough process of the enemy troops, and then pulled all the melee troops that were still on standby behind the small slope.
Vika's troops were still relentless after successfully breaking through the pocket formation.
This is Zhu Lingqi's reason.
If her troops suffer heavy losses in the breakout, then she will take escape as the first purpose, and if so, even if she is ambushed by bows and arrows again, she will not let her troops slow down and defend, but will order to speed up their escape.
On the contrary, her losses at that time were not large, and the lineup of troops was quite neat, so what she wanted to do was to maintain the integrity of the troops and wait for the opportunity to counterattack later.
Therefore, when she was ambushed again, she chose to slow down her troops, tighten her lineup, and raise her shield to defend.
And just this moment, she has fallen into a series of schemes laid by Zhu Lingqi.
Next, throwing spears and firing, the melee troops ambushed behind the small slope, one ring after another, and Vika, who was quite outstanding in strategy, ran into it without knowing it.
When the troops rushed to the middle of the slope, as the troops suddenly appeared at the top of the slope, Vika finally understood everything.
"Stop advancing, set up a defensive formation, and defend on the spot!"
She didn't have time to give orders to her entourage and wait for them to pass them on, but she used all her strength to tear open her throat and yell.
Just as she was yelling, on the top of the slope, with the 100 shield guards at the head, the troops poured down like a tide!
On sloping terrain, for the side that climbs the slope, they will slow down, but for the side at the top of the slope, it will speed up.
The shield guards who were carrying huge tower shields and wearing heavy armor were not slow to run with all their might in such terrain!
They put the tower shield on their backs and rushed forward like that!
In the troops below, Vika's pupils constricted, and although the opponent's speed was still not fast, she felt the power that frightened her, so she yelled again.
"Archers, shoot those enemies at me!
The few remaining units of ranged archers in the unit began to fire, but their shots were ineffective at all, because at the same time, the shield defenders also received orders from behind them.
They took off the tower shield behind their backs, put it in front of them, and continued to rush forward!
The distance between the two forces is rapidly decreasing.
100 meters......
Fifty meters......
10 meters ......
Rumble!
This is the sound of the front row of tower shields colliding with various weapons held up by the enemy, and it is a huge collection of countless sounds!
As defenders, shield defenders are not really incapable of attacking, on the contrary, their strength is far stronger than ordinary people, otherwise they would not be able to hold such a huge shield and the extremely heavy armor on their bodies.
And that powerful force, at this moment, has become the key to victory.
The tower shield collided with the weapons, and the shields did not stop, but the weapons bounced back one by one, and then, the shields collided with the people with the weapons, and the people flew out like their weapons!
The defensive formation formed under Vika's loud command, under the full impact of these shield defenders, almost instantly, the front was broken!
Almost at the same time, the sound of trumpets sounded behind the shield guards, and they were seen to share one from each other, and there was a lot of gap between them.
And from those gaps, one after another figures rushed out and rushed straight into the enemy's formation.
At the forefront is none other than Hogg!
Hogg is at the front, with the Wicked troops on the left behind her, and the Evil Breakers on the right behind her.
The two troops have completely different fighting styles, but they are both so sharp and fierce, and the defense in front of them is almost instantly pierced by them!
And that's not over yet!
Faced with this heavy impact of the enemy, Vika had to react quickly and mobilize the forces on both sides to increase the thickness of the front.
However, not long after she gave this order, strange voices rang out from the left and right.
It was footsteps, dense footsteps, but not human.
Rock lizards!
Vika keenly caught the footsteps, and the creature immediately came to mind!
When he led his troops to attack Yuanwang City, Vika was also one of the candidate generals, so he also knew a lot about Langdon.
She had already felt a little familiar when she had been attacked many times before, especially from the lizardman spearman, but she was not particularly familiar after all, and she didn't remember it.
And at this moment, she finally thought of it!
The footsteps were of a lizard, which meant that it was the Goblin Knight troops under Langdon's command approaching at a surprising speed!
Vika wanted to give the order again, and then she found that her subordinates had no power to mobilize!
It was only at this time that she realized that her every move, and even every order, had completely fallen into the other party's calculations!
Then, with a keen but sad discovery, if the Goblin Knights were allowed to charge, then her troops would be finished!
So, this time, Vica didn't give any more orders, but opened her mouth and let out a long, terrible howl.
At the same time, she and the people around her quickly turned their heads, turned around and fled!
She had done everything she had to do, and the meaning of that long howl was just one word - escape!
At the last moment, she was able to remind her subordinates to escape, she had done her duty, and by this time, she was no longer thinking about how to protect the integrity of the troops, but about how she should escape!
However, she had not long since she turned to escape, and her steps stopped.
Not far from the bottom of the slope, a small group of people was waiting for her.
The person in the lead she was familiar with couldn't be more familiar, it was Joanna who she regarded as her old enemy!
