Chapter 353: Field Battle (1)
"My lord, what if the enemy protects their fortress cannons?" asked Mage One, who was asking everyone, knowing that Lord Asra wanted to give the answer. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What can I do, charge against the fortress cannon, just like the undead. We have mages who can weaken the power of the fortress cannons and are stronger than the undead. And now the team in our hands does not need to be in a dense formation, it is just as lethal. ”
The magicians immediately understood, Xia He put the army in a squad of five people, if it was dispersed, as long as the magic sound was synchronized, the magician commanded fifty people to fire at the same time, and the attack power was still very strong.
These fifty people may be scattered within a range of several hundred meters, and the fortress artillery will bombard them, and even if they hit, they will not be able to kill a few people.
If it was the original kind of dense charge, capturing the city, there would be more deaths.
"We are not the main force of the siege, and when the time comes, most of you will go on a magic airship to protect the zombies. ”
"My lord, that zombie looks ...... It's terrifying!" said a magician, boldly.
"It's essentially a puppet, a core magic structure, and it's impossible to attack us. ”
Xia He said as he took out a scroll and unfolded it, with a magic array drawn on it.
"You're all coming and looking. ”
When the mages heard this, they came over to take a closer look, and after looking at it for a while, everyone looked strange.
"What was once abandoned, right, is it expensive to form a magic array by people, and it's not worth it. But now our soldiers are equipped with miniature magic furnaces, which usually do nothing, and there are continuous consumption, if they are used as nodes of the magic array, it is equivalent to saving. ”
As soon as Xia He said this, the magicians had the feeling that I was going again, why didn't I think of this.
"But this thing, it's quite difficult to rehearse, even if it's a professional soldier, it will take about half a year of training to get used to it. However, once the rules are formed, if the army enters in the future and has to train these formations, things will be simpler. ”
"You guys take a look at these formations first, get acquainted with it, I can't do it myself. Xia He assigned the task, and the magicians had no choice but to do it.
The twenty new battle mages also developed a sense of trust in Xia He.
Xia He is the lord himself, he does everything himself, and now he fights for others, but he can be the shopkeeper.
The day's mission was over, and there were no more undead around, and the whole camp fell silent. The demon deer were asleep, and the patrolling soldiers returned, huddled in tents at the edge of the camp, the weather was too cold, even the thick leather robes were not worth a bowl of hot soup.
Xia He's divine sense swept through the camp, sighing in his heart, this is already a good army, but it still can't meet the minimum standards of the Shenzhou Empire.
The Shenzhou Empire is essentially no nobles, only citizens.
All citizens are soldiers who have fought in the other world. No one is born with rights. The citizen soldiers of the Shenzhou Empire, the empire will give high-grade potions, increase the health level, and increase the life length. Every citizen soldier is a qualified commander, and when he is sent to the other world, he can lead the natives of the other world and command an army of no less than five hundred.
After resting all night, the next day before dawn, the soldiers got up and prepared something to eat.
This kind of cold weather, the Imperial march requires, must have a hot diet, even in the rush of the march, must be ensured. Otherwise, the soldier's combat effectiveness loss is still quite large, and he is also prone to illness.
The smoke was rising, very faint, and the magicians went to clean the surrounding mage eyes, but they basically couldn't use it.
There were soldiers who fed the deer, some mages who checked the airships, and others who checked the vehicles and cleared the snow so that the wooden horses could get on the road.
The outposts on the periphery of the camp have been blocked by snow, but this outpost was originally built with ice and snow, and the soldiers are no longer in it, so they are simply abandoned.
There were four squadrons patrolling the vicinity, all with magical alarms on them.
The camp began to have sounds, colors, and on the white ice field, three thousand people were so small.
Xia He carried the demon deer and did not let the soldiers ride to fight, mainly for training. In the next few days, he continued to encounter the undead, Xia He simply fought patiently, and refused to waste it, refining the undead materials and trying to maintain a speed of three hundred miles a day.
After the ice sheet was released, the terrain was lowered, the wind was not so strong, and vegetation began to grow.
Trees that have lost their leaves look helpless on the plains.
After descending the ice field, Xia He let five hundred soldiers ride the demon deer and walk in front of the team. These five hundred people are still the same equipment, and the demon deer has also changed its armor, all of which are to defend against long-range weapons.
The princess's Chinese army sent someone over and told Xia He to wait for half a day.
The princess's army was attacked by the undead, and although there were no dead people, many soldiers were wounded. The attack took place on the right flank, and Macbeth's speed was not maintained, and the princess's army was staggered.
Angelina was very angry, she didn't expect Macbeth to stop the army of the undead, but guarding the right flank without even warning, it was a shame.
Xia He didn't have the heart to compete for favor, and when he heard the news, he didn't reply a word, only saying that he would wait.
Xia He camped on a forest, lit a fire, and roasted the frozen meat he carried, which was regarded as rest. A small magic airship floats in the air and monitors the surroundings. Before the princess arrived, an army of humans appeared in the distance.
Xia He made a porcelain puppet, let the porcelain puppet drive a chariot, and waited for five soldiers to meet him.
As a result, the army attacked without asking.
Xia He was too far away to command the porcelain puppet, and the porcelain puppet and the soldiers lost contact in a short period of time.
Xia He was furious, and immediately ordered a thousand men, and he and Medirli each took five hundred, rode a demon deer, and killed them from the camp.
More than ten miles away, in the snow, there is a bright red color everywhere.
Xiahe's porcelain puppet has been shattered, the chariot has been destroyed by magic, and the five soldiers on it have also died.
The blood on the snow was left behind by the army on the other side.
More than five hundred, attacking a chariot, more than three hundred were killed by porcelain and soldiers' muskets, the officers in command all died, not a single junior officer survived.
Xia He didn't care how miserable they were, so they rushed up from a distance, and there were less than two hundred people left, who were shot and killed by soldiers riding demon deer.
Xia He collects loot, mainly to see the enemy's military insignia.
This army, a small nobleman from the Northland, Xia He only remembered that the ethnic group of this nobleman was quite prosperous, although he was only an earl, and he occupied more land than a marquis.
Xia He regretted a little, after entering the Northland, they were all enemies, and he shouldn't have let the soldiers block the road to inquire.
Just start fighting, anyway, I'm not here to negotiate.
For no reason, five soldiers died, walked out of the ice field, and met so many undead all right, which made Xia He's heart blocked.
These five hundred people appeared on the edge of the ice field, and that was for the princess.
Xia He felt that something was wrong, so he immediately turned around, strengthened the camp, and moved the magic cannon out. The magic cannon can't be mounted on a chariot, at least not enough in the Xiahe belt.
Unless it is a miniature magic cannon, if a normal magic cannon wants to be fired, it must have a magic base, preferably installed on the ground, and the ground must also be demonized and strong enough.
Xia He hastily arranged a magic cannon to let the airship take off, and ten ballistas were placed on the edge of the camp. The main reason is that the enemy has a large puppet or something, or the enemy has a high-level chariot and can carry a magic cannon, so he has to use a giant crossbow and his own magic cannon to fight back.
After the camp was set up, the soldiers hurriedly ate a barbecue and took turns to equip themselves with armor.
Xia He then asked Medirli to take two hundred people out to find out the news.
More than two hours later, Medirli fled back with two hundred men, and she said to Xia Daodao: "There is an army, numbering no less than five thousand, and it seems to be the vanguard. Someone must have leaked the news and knew that the princess was coming, and this was to intercept it halfway. ”
Xia He immediately gave the order to lay a camouflage net in the camp, and then he and Medirli brought a thousand soldiers and prepared to attack.
The battle mages dissuaded, "Lord Count, we can rest in the camp. If there are 5,000 enemies, the number of mages will not be too small. ”
Xia Hexin said that he had enough to block Angelina, and he didn't tell the truth. Originally, it was said that it would not refine zombies, but it turned out to be five hundred at a time. scolded Macbeth again, and had to let the princess carry the bottom line.
If they don't attack now, if the army camps between itself and the ice field, and the army arrives, there is no hope that it will be defeated.
3,000 people in the field, although the equipment is novel, but the Xia River has no bottom. After all, the enemy is not an undead, and all kinds of tactics are imperial and very complete. If there are too many magicians, and the number of them exceeds 10,000, there is not much hope for you to win.
"So then, Medirri, go out with two hundred men, and lure them in, and the camp withdraws two thousand, leaving only one thousand. The rest of the people are lying in ambush with me outside. As long as they attack the camp, we will raid them from behind. ”
The magicians will not be persuaded, and the temper of the blood mage, if he decides what to do, I am afraid that the princess will not be able to stop it. Besides, if this Northland army is not destroyed, it will be too dangerous for them to come together when their army arrives.
Two thousand men were counted from the Xia River, and two hundred were given to Medirli, and the rest of the men, all dressed in white cloaks, rode demon deer, bypassed the woods, and laid an ambush five miles to the west.
Medirli led two hundred men, and this time she did not have a single one to investigate, and went straight to the army.
The forward of 5,000 men also had scouts, and when a scout team of 50 people appeared, Medirli rushed over with her gun raised. Before the two hundred men she had brought with her could see what was going on, Medirri's deer had already broken through the scout's cavalry formation, and there were no enemies behind her.
