Chapter Seventy-Nine: Winning
Lu Jingzhi's artillery bombardment worked, and the enemy's high-ranking knights couldn't help but slow down when they saw that they couldn't resist this kind of attack. Seeing this, Lu Jingzhi ordered another round of six-pounder shells to be fired. Just as those high-ranking knights hesitated, ten more projectiles shot over. Because of the last calibration, this time the hit rate was higher, hitting seven targets. Seeing that he had lost twelve high-ranking knights so quickly, the commander of the principality couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and hurriedly stopped the attack.
There was jubilation on Lu Jing's position. In the past, a high-ranking knight was more than enough to fight a squad of cavalry, but this time, forty high-ranking knights came over, and they lost more than a quarter before they even touched the edge of the position. Lu Jingzhi himself felt quite happy, but he was not carried away by the victory, and ordered half of the engineering team to carry the baggage, and to transport the baggage back to the fortress on his side before the enemy attacked.
Because before the war, Lu Jingzhi had brought enough carts, so the transportation work was carried out quickly. In addition, his auxiliaries are not used as cannon fodder, but as logistics support, and relevant training was carried out as early as before the war, and the actions naturally exceeded the imagination of both sides. In less than ten minutes, a batch of materials was transported away, and a sixth of the supplies were loaded.
When the commander of the principality army saw that Lu Jingzhi's men and horses dared to openly carry supplies under their noses, he was immediately furious and ordered 2,000 cavalry to level the forest camp in one go. This tactic has to be said to be very good, but he underestimated Lu Jingzhi's civil engineering skills too much.
As soon as the two thousand cavalry on the principality's side were gathered, they were discovered by Lu Jingzhi's lookout hand arranged on the tree, and they made a gesture from a high place. Lu Jingzhi listened to the number of two thousand cavalry, his eyelids didn't blink, he waved his hand to call Sijiu, and said, "Let all those heavy infantry come up." ”
So a large group of "heavy infantry", known as magicians by the Principality Army, lined up at the front of the battlefield, and at the same time, in the hidden place behind the woodland, there was the rumbling of war drums, and even the earth was shaking with it.
Looking at these heavily armored magicians, the two thousand cavalry of the principality were a little hesitant, but under the assignment of the commander, these cavalry were already ready to fire, and there was no turning back for a long time. The captain of the cavalry ordered the cavalry to spread out as much as possible, so as to reduce the hit rate of the magicians, and then increased his speed and rushed towards the position of the magician Lu Jingzhi. He was convinced that he could complete the order by breaking through a small gap himself, and only wait for the reinforcements behind him to trample the dilapidated position to pieces.
Seeing the cavalry all over the mountains getting closer and closer, Lu Jingzhi made a gesture, and when Sijiu saw it, he hurriedly shouted to the front of the formation. The others didn't understand what it was, but they saw the "heavy infantry" in front of the formation set up a seven-star array. In groups of seven people, they form an equal seven-sided shape, and the two groups of heavy infantry gallop towards each other, and the giant swords rise and fall, which looks very mysterious.
The commanders of the principality's army were very unhappy, and they couldn't see through what they were doing, so they couldn't help but talk about it. This is an idea put forward by a necromancer: since the other party's guard is called a magic envoy, is he making a large magic array? As soon as this statement was proposed, it was immediately recognized by most of the great undead, but what was the power of this magic array? No one could say. At this time, a commander came up with a solution, which was to use these two thousand cavalry as bait for temptation, and see what effect this magic array would have when it was completely activated. Although it was a pity, every great undead wanted to know what would happen to this mysterious magic array, so they all acquiesced to this method.
When the two thousand cavalry rushed to the front of the formation, they triggered the bamboo tripwire trap again, and they fell to the ground, losing almost a tenth of their troops. Seeing that there were more and more cavalrymen who were hit, and the strategy of dispersing the attack had no effect at all, the cavalry captain unwillingly issued an order to assemble and charge. The remaining more than 1,800 cavalry regrouped and rushed towards Lu Jingzhi in a dense formation. They obviously knew that this little boy was the main commander of the guards, and as long as they took him, they would take down this supply depot in the middle of the entire Ecktor Woodlands.
Sure enough, the concentrated charge worked well. Only the first few knights fell to the ground and dismounted, and most of the cavalry were unharmed.
Seeing that these cavalry were getting closer and closer, and even the hideous faces under their masks were faintly visible, Lu Jingzhi waved his hand back and said, "Fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh o'clock, all of them will be broken." ”
The engineering captain hurriedly shouted behind him to convey the order, only to hear a crackling sound, and the human slaves of the engineering team A pulled the four thick hemp ropes with all their might, and then the ground on which the Principality Army cavalry team stepped trembled and sank violently. The "heavy infantry" in front of them suddenly stopped, raised their giant swords made of thin planks above their heads, and shouted a spell that made the Principality Army Commander who was watching from a distance think that the ground was caused by these heavily armored magicians.
By the time Lu Jingzhi's order was handed down, almost two-thirds of the cavalry had already set foot on the land that was doomed to collapse. So in the midst of the huge rumbling and obscuring smoke, nearly 1,200 true undead cavalry fell into this carefully prepared trap. The rest of the cavalry looked at Lu Jingzhi's side through the huge pit, and Lu Jingzhi ordered the "heavy infantry" to stand again, point their swords at the ground, and make it look like they could swing their giant swords and release magic at any time.
The commanders of the principality's army looked at each other, not knowing what to do. This large-scale magic was almost unheard of or seen before, easily burying 1,200 cavalry, and the large pit caused by the magic also blocked the cavalry units behind, making it impossible for them to continue the charge. It's terrifying—while the undead don't know fear, the great undead of the ruling class still have this kind of emotion. It is the instinct of all creatures to seek advantage and avoid harm, and undead creatures are no exception.
Leading the remaining 600 cavalry is a deputy captain, originally this huge cavalry team is not a high-ranking knight can dominate, so every 200 cavalry is led by a knight who is a squad leader, and every five knights is led by a high-ranking knight who is a deputy captain. The captain and the other vice-captain had fallen into the pit, and the surviving vice-captain felt deeply humiliated, because the captain and vice-captain in front had already given their lives, but he had survived.
"Prepare to charge!!" the vice-captain ordered. The remaining cavalry turned their undead horses to the left side of the pit, preparing to launch a new charge from the relatively flat terrain there.
Sijiu was happily praising his young master, and suddenly saw a high-ranking knight directing the cavalry team to the right side of his position through the rising smoke and dust, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "This young master, the big thing is not good, that guy is going to lead someone to sneak attack us from the right!"
In fact, when the battle is fought to this extent, where is there any possibility of a sneak attack. There is so much space in the narrow woodland, you can't steal it if you want to.
Lu Jingzhi was afraid of the dust and squinted, he had been holding his breath and closing his eyes, listening to the sycophants in his ears, and his heart was really comfortable, but when he suddenly heard the warning signal, he hurriedly opened his eyes and looked carefully, and also saw the deputy captain who was stationed outside the team. This is also the vice-captain's anger, otherwise he would never have made such an obvious move, maybe he was bent on death, in short, he put himself in the most conspicuous place.
"Just hit him!" Lu Jingzhi screamed in his children's voice: "Ten cannons fight together!"
Seeing that his team was already lined up and ready to set off, but before he could say the word "charge", he heard several crashes in the distance, followed by a whistling sound, and ten aligned stone balls flew over, at least half of which hit him. Before the deputy captain could react, he saw a team of more than 600 cavalry flying up at once, flying farther and farther, but it was his own camp that flew closer and closer.
It wasn't until the moment he landed that he realized that it was only his head that was blown off by the cannonball, and his body had turned into meat sauce as early as the moment it touched the stone ball.
The commanders of the principality army could not stand it any longer, and hurriedly ordered the bugle to be blown back. More than 600 cavalry slowly retreated towards the main formation under the restraint of several squad leaders.
Win!
Lu Jingzhi was very happy. The enemy withdrew, and apparently would not come back for a while. Lu Jing ordered all non-combatants to carry the supplies, and as long as they were done, they would have a reason to retreat to the fortress group they had already built.
"See?" Sijiu happily said to the group of people who were picking up medicine: "This is how powerful my young master is." "The pride is beyond words.
The eyes of the medicine were straight, who is the strongest in the empire? The master said that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not have such a strong magician in the army. He can wear heavy armor, swing heavy swords, and cast magic. It's simply omnipotent. Not to mention the massive magic that is so powerful. At this moment, there was only one thought in the heart of the medicine, that is, it was better to take his junior brothers and nephews to join this adult, which was far better than thinking about following the master to find the crown prince before.
Not only the commanders of the principality were frightened, but even the crown prince and his gang who were hiding in the rear and waiting for the enemy were also shocked. They wanted to see how Lu Jingzhi was defeated by the principality army, and then fled to their side in embarrassment, begging His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for mercy, but they didn't expect to see that Lu Jingzhi was not injured, which made the other party suffer heavy losses. If there are a few more characters like magicians in those miscellaneous armies, I'm afraid that Daddy's imperial power will be unstable.
Only the Duke of Wensha, who was guarding the flank of the position, smiled and boasted: "Good boy, good boy! ”
Did the principality army really retreat? Did Lu Jingzhi keep those supplies?
