Cui Wenxiu stared coldly at the black and oppressive battle line in front of him, it seems that the Luzon people are also planning to eat puffer fish with themselves to the death, the Luzon army and the Merry army are clearly distinguished, the light yellow military uniform of the Luzon army and the fiery red robe of the Merry people contrast with each other, which is particularly majestic, compared to the emperor's [***] black military uniform that has adopted the new military uniform of the empire, but it looks more solemn and solemn, and the bearing is magnificent. The banner of the pen, the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info fluttering in front of the two camps, the coalition army in the shape of an anti-crane wing formation and the emperor [***] in a wedge-shaped formation just form a complete anastomosis, an encirclement, a breakthrough, whether it is a shield or a spear, it seems that only through war can the superiority be distinguished.

After seeing the formation of the other party, Cui Wenxiu had already begun to quietly change the composition of the team, and the Indean Legion was quietly replaced to the left flank, and extended slightly backwards, forming an arc with a tail, firmly enveloping the entire left flank and even the rear, while the middle and right flanks were dominated by the Seventh and Tenth Legions.

Cui Wenxiu's idea is actually very simple, in the face of the coalition army that occupies the advantage of troops, it is undoubtedly unrealistic to swallow the other party in one go, not to mention that the Luzon army is also elite this time, from the hanging flag, you can know that the third corps and another equally strong fifth corps are already at the forefront, obviously preparing to enter the battlefield as a vanguard army, ready to tear up on their left flank, and although they have put on a wedge formation, this is a seriously unbalanced wedge, the weakness of the left wing and the strength of the right flank make this wedge more like a single-edged knifeIt is still the right wing that really wants to play a fatal role, and it is also necessary to break through the opponent's flank on the left flank and completely break the opponent's right flank.

Once again, the ideas of the two sides coincided, both hoped to use the right flank as the main attack and make a breakthrough on the left flank of the other side, but the coalition forces put on a posture of flying on both wings, while the emperor [***] appeared more low-key, on the surface it was more like attacking and defending, and breaking through from the center.

The low drums of war finally sounded, this was the agitated drum before the war, the dull drum beat changed from low to exciting, urging the boiling blood and restless hearts of the soldiers, the deafening shouts were accompanied by the raising of guns and spears, and the huge phalanx finally took the first step under the order of the commander.

Ying Jianming was very disappointed and resentful of the coach's seemingly somewhat biased adjustment, but he soon realized that this was a good time to be humiliated in the first stage, and to take on the entire defense line of this battle with the strength of 100,000 men and horses of the Indian Legion, this responsibility can be imagined, before the war, it had been determined that the Merry people would be the key target of the emperor, and the Luzon army would be on the defensive as much as possible, and would not consider annihilating the Luzon until the Merry people's position was destroyed. The pressure from the impact of the 150,000 Luzon elites will be borne by the Indean Army, and the boss has clearly informed him that he is not prepared to put the only division as a reserve on defense, which is the bayonet he is ready to use to give the Merry people the final blow, that is to say, no matter how dangerous the occupation is, the boss does not plan to invest other soldiers to himself, which to a certain extent makes Ying Jianming happy, at least the commander agrees with his own combat effectiveness, and throws all the main responsibility for defense to himself.

The beating of the war drums gradually became louder, and the distance of two thousand meters was too close for the two waves advancing on opposite sides, and if you could stand high in the middle of the battlefield and look down on this war, you would see a strange situation.

The combined forces of the Luzon and Merry were almost the first to be launched, and the thin cavalry could hardly play much of a role in such a large-scale battle, and the surname Crouffso abandoned the useless cavalry, and swept violently towards the left flank of the emperor [***] purely in an infantry phalanx.

On the emperor [***] side, it seems that after launching a charge, he suppressed the speed of advancement, and maintained a fairly restrained speed to advance steadily, especially the left flank was gathered into a dense phalanx, almost as soon as he came up, he was about to put on a defensive posture. In order to maintain a dense formation, he even deliberately slowed down, and in line with the action of the left flank, the Seventh Army on the right flank also began to slow down and follow up.

Salem is a native of Kucha, from the Western Regions Army to the original mixed corps, and then to the current Seventh Army, he was able to move from a Kucha warrior to the position of division commander, and was able to rise and be promoted to division commander when the Wusun tribe had an absolute advantage in the Seventh Army. The 2nd Division of the 7th Army has always been the absolute main force of the 7th Army, and in the first stage of the Battle of West Indo-German, they successfully captured Huluo Province and won the praise of Cui Wenxiu, but Salem knew that his division did not really encounter hard bones in that battle, and the deliberate strategic retreat of the Hansen Alliance made his division lose an excellent opportunity to train his troops, and now, the Meili people in front of him finally sent another opportunity to test the knife.

Most of the second division are hot-blooded men from the Western Regions. After several years of purging, the five regions of the Western Regions have been completely integrated into the empire without any suspense. When Northern Luzon and Indean had fallen into the hands of the Empire, the people of the Western Regions really had no reason to show their differences, and even the fierce and martial Ropes had to submit in front of the country, which also made the national separatists in the Western Regions who had always hoped to unite with the Ropes to resist the empire completely lost the last shred of hope, especially when they saw that the tribes in the Indean region further west were calling for joining the empire more and more, these self-proclaimed elite populist guys finally hung their proud heads. The common people have long forgotten the bloodshed of the past from the benefits of integration into the empire, and the people are forgetful, and when the integrated economy binds their interests to the interior of the empire, the original differences are gradually bridged by interests.

The men of the Western Regions of the Second Division come from all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and the hot-blooded men of the Western Regions who advocate bravery have never lacked courage, perhaps they are inferior to the Tang soldiers in terms of discipline, but once they break out with blood and courage, their impact is even more durable than that of the Tang soldiers. And now it seems that the time has come to test the Seventh Army, and Salem is eager to use the results of this battle to prove that the Second Division deserves its position as a pacesetter in the Seventh Army.

The all-in-one infantry spear is not an all-steel spear like the hoplite, but a new product developed by the Imperial Department of Science and Technology Development. For this reason, Li Wufeng has specifically instructed the Department of Science and Technology Development not to pay too much attention to the military industry, and after the establishment of the empire, it should give more consideration to the needs of the people, develop more civilian products, promote the further development of the empire's economy, and maintain the absolute leading position of the empire's economy over the surrounding areas. However, this trend cannot be reversed in a short period of time, and the good cooperative relationship between the Department of Science and Technology Development and the military has made it possible for a long time for the Department to focus more on meeting the needs of the military, and the improvement of weapons is also an important project of the Department of Science and Technology Development.

Light infantry has always been the main branch of the Tang Army, in addition to the armor of the science and technology development division continues to introduce light and tough leather armor, the science and technology development department pays more attention to the development of weapons, and for the different needs of infantry battles, the science and technology development department has also designed a combination of weapons with different needs, such as focusing on the light spear for charging, focusing on the combination of the big shield and the bayonet sword focusing on defense, and focusing on the combination of round shield and knife in the melee. The light spear is a new type of weapon developed by combining the advantages of the spear originally used by the heavy cavalry and the light infantry, on the one hand, it reduces the weight of the spear as much as possible, and on the other hand, it also meets the impact power that the light infantry must have when charging.

The front half of this light spear is made of special fine iron, and the second half is made of a common fir wood found in the Great Hengduan Mountains, which is not only greatly improved in toughness after being soaked in a special oil, but also has a great increase in stiffness, and is light and applicable, and soon began to be fully redressed in the imperial light armor infantry. The Seventh Army was also the first to change its equipment, and now it was finally the turn of the Second Division to test the effect of the first actual combat charge after the change.

Choi Wenxiu knew what Crouff was up to, and he never wanted to compete with the other party on the same starting line, which was an insult to his own tactics. The reason why he deliberately suppressed the speed was that he also wanted to make full use of the long-range strike weapons he was ambushing in the rear, although there were not many of them, but he was still happy to be able to use them to hit the enemy, especially the Merry people who didn't know the height of the sky.

When the Merians swooped up in a neatly lined charge formation, the first baptism for them was not the imaginary rain of arrows, but the boulders launched from the enemy camp. Ash bottle and poisonous smoke bomb, this sudden attack made the Merry army who did not have much mental preparation for a moment of confusion, the roaring boulder is of course terrifying, but what is more painful is the ash bottle and the poison smoke bomb, the ash bottle will explode when it hits the ground, and the powder and dust in it will disperse everywhere after the pottery thin jar falls to the ground, which is also a new product developed by the Imperial Science and Technology Development Division to improve the ordinary ash bottle in the city defense, after mixing quicklime powder and a poisonous powder that stimulates the nasal cavity, the power of this weapon is doubled, especially the Merli people who encounter this kind of courtesy for the first time are even more chaotic。 The rolling of poisonous smoke bombs added to the chaotic atmosphere on the battlefield, and almost before the official engagement, the Merry army showed its defeat.
