Chapter 553: Trap (2)
There was a phantom array in front of the tree, a sparse wood, full of murderous aura in Lynn's eyes. Those trees, I don't know how much they are disguised by the dryad. If this trap is well prepared, it will not be a problem to take out thousands of mercenaries at once.
Except for the thirty heavily armored cavalrymen, the rest of the soldiers dismounted. When they charged on their horses, the magic muskets were not accurate at all. The reason why they don't have heavy armor and are not equipped with more advanced weapons is a matter of ability. In the system on the Xiahe side, what ability you have, you will get what treatment.
The infantry dismounted from the horses, and they wore thin-skinned boots, and the horses were equipped to protect their feet. After getting off the horse, they put on shoes with heavy soles and fastened their buckles. Although they are slightly heavier, they have a stiff sole and a large area, which makes them much better than narrow leather boots when walking in muddy places.
The soldiers checked their magic muskets, as well as their leather bags, to make sure that the magic bullets were replenished.
Lynn was also infected by this mechanical behavior, and her heart was much more settled.
These trainings were all learned by them from the team of blood mages, and they didn't know why before, but these things that seemed uninteresting now have the effect of calming people's hearts.
The soldiers checked the equipment, and on the main road on the right, it could already be seen that the two mercenaries were combined into one, and the team was quite neat, and there was a vanguard of two hundred people in front, riding a demon wolf, and there was also a magic musket in his hand, but the length was different, and it seemed that it was eliminated by the regular army.
Over the years, the Empire's armies have changed their equipment frequently, and probably millions of weapons have been eliminated and absorbed by the forces below.
The power of these magic muskets is not necessarily low, but the models are chaotic and not conducive to logistics.
Xia He has eliminated a lot of this kind of thing, and it can be sold anyway.
Lynn suddenly saw a reindeer, and there was a light cavalry behind him, and they were all riding reindeer. The reindeer is a low-level magical beast in the north, very low-level, but the speed and weight are good, but they are not lethal. Unlike the demon wolf, if the knight is lost, the demon wolf's own combat effectiveness is not bad.
In the sky, four magic airships suddenly appeared, all of them small.
When the mercenary coalition saw the airship appear, they kept cursing, thinking that they were here to grab the credit, but the result was that the mercenaries on the ground suddenly increased their speed, hoping to engage the half-elf army as soon as possible.
"What a fucking idiot!" Lynn cursed.
He saw that the twenty men he had sent had been collected and followed in the procession.
These people, let them die!
He sent his own soldiers, with the badge on their bodies, without the Tenth Academy of Magic. Lynn regretted it a little, if it was a blood mage, I don't know if the weapon would be confiscated.
It's really a dog's eye looking down on people!
It's useless for Lynn to be angry, he goes down to join now, and the other party detains all his people, obviously thinking that he wants to take the credit.
The half-elf army from the east is less than a thousand, and this mercenary alliance is more than two thousand. The equipment of the half-elves has always been inferior to that of humans, and in the same number of wars, humans have a greater chance of victory.
Two thousand eats one thousand, especially in a field battle, where the opponent has no fortifications and basically wins.
There were two hundred demon wolf knights, charging at high speed, and the reindeer light cavalry behind them were a little unable to keep up. The reindeer is a northern species, and it is estimated that because of the rapid popularization of Trojan horses in the north, most of the reindeer have been eliminated, so they have migrated to the south a lot. This reindeer runs fast in the ice and snow, and in the hot climate, the physical fitness decreases greatly.
If it weren't for the physical fitness of the monster itself, it wouldn't have been able to ride.
Although the Trojan horse has many unsatisfactory points, it is very good as the equipment of the mounted infantry, and this kind of problem will not occur.
Lynn doesn't observe the battlefield anymore, anyway, there is a magic airship in the sky.
The technique of the half-elf is not very good, the magic airship has a high flight altitude, flying at about 1,500 meters, and the wind is strong here, but it is outside the range of the half-elf archer.
The airship itself is very difficult to be shot down by a bow and arrow, and a few hundred arrows may not fall. However, the archer's arrows have too good penetration attributes, and they may shoot through the cabin and kill the controller inside.
The demon wolf knight in front soon saw the army of half-elves.
Outside the face, there is smoke and dust, looking at the scale, where is there less than a thousand people!
"Attack! Attack!" the knight chief shouted desperately, completely forgetting that at a distance of more than five hundred meters, the magic musket was indeed full of lethality, but his soldiers could not shoot accurately at three hundred meters.
If it's a firearm in the tech world, it's okay, the bullets will spill out, and if it rains, you can hit a few of them. The bullets of the magic musket are hugely powerful, but the rate of fire is the limit. Many of their obsolete firearms are fired every two or three seconds for the sake of stability.
The Demon Wolf Knight had already rushed out for more than ten miles, and Lynn had brought a chariot with him and parked far behind the mound. I can't help at all, and I don't dare to expose it for the time being. The vehicle's output is strong, but its own protection is still not good.
Xia He will not put much effort into the chariot, because it is not worth it.
In the world of magic, the role of chariots is far less than that of knights.
Two hundred magic muskets rumbled, and about six hundred meters away, the army of half-elves came out of the smoke and dust, one by one wearing heavy armor and holding shields, and their bodies were shining with elemental brilliance.
Armor Elves!
More than a dozen magic armor elves fell in the rain of bullets, but in the face of this magic armor, these magic muskets failed to penetrate the vital point. The sound of the chariot behind shook the sky. Behind the Demon Armor Elf, a lone chariot without the traction of a demonic beast appeared, more than five meters tall and huge.
Airplanes......
The air trembled, and a dense rain of arrows poured from the chariot, the shafts of which were short and made of metal.
Among the Demon Wolf Knights, a great magician threw out a scroll without hesitation. A huge wall of air was erected in front of him, and the Demon Wolf Knight, who was running too far, hit his head on it, and his head was bleeding.
The rain of arrows was blocked, and the chief knight calmed down at this time, and if he turned around and fled, he would be killed by all the chariots of the half-elves. Forward?Facing the Demon Armor Half-Elves, his two hundred people had no chance of winning.
"Go down, split the wings!" the wolf knight gritted his teeth.
Fooled, whether it is air or ground reconnaissance, it is said that this is an army of less than 1,000 people, so their own academy united with another one, wanting to eat the enemy.
The mercenary team from a small academy came over to warn that it was ridiculous that they hadn't taken it seriously.
Two hundred demon wolf knights rushed down the road, and on both sides were the wilderness, and the nearby villages had long been cleared. Speaking of the two-wing attack, the Demon Wolf Knight knew that it was the Knight Commander who let them escape from the attack range of the half-elf chariot.
There are not many large scrolls of magicians, and if there are two more waves of arrows, everyone will suffer heavy casualties.
The quality of these mercenaries is not too bad, and they responded in time, and none of them died, and they escaped from the range of the chariot.
But there are two hundred reindeer light cavalry behind, these light cavalry are basically not professionals, just strong ordinary people, trained in combat skills.
But how can the combat skills of ordinary people compare with knights, if it weren't for the magic gun, they would be cannon fodder at all.
The reindeer light rider was not stupid, and when they saw that the demon wolf riders had fled, they simply rushed down the road and broke into the field.
Boom, boom, boom......
Behind the chariot of the half-elves, the huge steel idol broke out in a manic voice at this time. In addition to the sound of heavy footsteps, there was the sound of metal grinding in their bodies.
On the huge chariot, metal arrows rained down, and dozens of magical rays lit up in the mercenary army behind, finally resisting a wave of attacks.
The mercenaries have also made a bloody investment, in fact, many of the extra magicians in the mercenary team are recruited from the academy.
The students in the team were a little panicked, they basically had never been on the battlefield, and this time they came out and were also trained, but the ability to adapt on the spot is not to say that they have it.
"Spread out, each leading his own team, they have large chariots!"
"Where's the teacher?"
"The teacher hasn't arrived yet!"
It's a mess below, Lynn still hasn't moved, these people are chaotic, but they still have combat effectiveness, and if they go down, the other party won't have any trust, but will add to the chaos.
Just keep an eye on the half-elves in the trap yourself, and as for the battle on the main road......
Behind the mercenaries, two giant demonized war horses suddenly accelerated, and two epic mages desperately urged their mounts forward. They are the professors in charge of the two faculties.
Suddenly attacked, casualties began to appear in front of them, and the students led the mercenaries they had divided before to disperse the battle. Although, there is nothing wrong with this, but without the epic suppression, it will become a group of routs. The professors all have actual combat experience, but they can't believe the students' ability to control the battlefield.
The demon armor elf also rushed down the road, and the chariot almost stopped, and the steel idol behind rushed up.
The students and soldiers who did not have time to transfer had no choice but to pounce. The magic musket struck the steel idols, and the projectiles sank deep, but there was nothing they could do to stop the lifeless weapon.
Burst!
The steel idol wielded a war hammer and smashed it down, and a mercenary with a mount was smashed into a bloody frenzy. The hammer swept sideways, and the Iron Idol bent over, smashing the four mercenaries in quick succession.
A magician hurriedly threw a fireball and blew off one of the Iron Idol's arms, and the Iron Idol's eyes flashed red, and he pounced on the Magician, who used an acceleration spell to escape the Iron Idol's attack. On the iron idol's one arm, there was an iron chain, and with a sweep of the situation, the only magician in the vicinity escaped, and more than a dozen mercenaries were torn off their mounts by chains, and the steel idol behind him strode forward, without looking.
The mercenaries who landed on the ground were trampled into pulp.
