Chapter 824: Vanguard Battle
"Very good, hurry up and rest, and then charge with me later!"
The corners of Downton's mouth couldn't help but overflow with a smile, or the simple-minded races of the black-handed dwarves are comfortable to use, even if they are native, as long as they give benefits, they will work hard, unlike humans, you don't know what kind of thoughts they are wandering around.
"No need to rest, we can go out at any time!"
The Black Hand is not playing tricks, but is really ready to rush to the battlefield immediately, fighting them in the crucible fortress that the Red Dragon Legion is looking around, the Black Hand Cavalry has long been adapted to high-intensity combat, this kind of rush is simply trivial, and the sweat does not flow much.
The Western Frontier Army is full of joy, and this kind of strength is not an elite, but what is it? This is the guarantee of victory.
"If only there were more!"
The momentum of the soldiers also unconsciously increased under the stimulation of money and reinforcements.
"All those who died in battle, in addition to the head bounty, a minimum of 50,000 gold coins for the pension, I will also recommend their children to be sent to the military academy in Saint Laurent, if the grades cannot meet the standard, they can enter my logistics company to work, in a word, if you die in battle, I will take care of your children for the rest of their lives!"
Downton proclaimed.
The soldiers used to fight for Placido, and when they died, it was a pension of one hundred gold coins, and they had to be deducted by the commander, but now they suddenly heard the high price offered by Downton, and they were directly shocked, and they didn't come to their senses, and they heard the arrangements for their children, and for a moment, many soldiers felt that they might as well die.
For the sake of their children's future, parents are willing to give up everything, after all, it is a military academy in Saint Laurent, if you graduate, no matter how bad the mix is, there is no problem with food and clothing. If you work hard enough, it is possible to become a nobleman.
"Defeat the Northern Army, get victory, get gold coins, enjoy happiness for a lifetime, or be a turtle for a lifetime. Just look at today, all the kings, the Western Frontier Army, Wan Sheng!"
Downton raised his arms and shouted.
"Western Army, Wan Sheng!"
"Western Army, Wan Sheng!"
The soldiers scrubbed their weapons and arms together and roared.
Hu Tao didn't know when he floated over on a void ray, raised the battle flag representing the western realm, and hunted in the wind!
"Good!"
Homer secretly praised. In this frenzied atmosphere, even the cowards will be infected.
"The Barbarian Legion is the vanguard, the front is in array, the Human Legion is responsible for the left flank, the Foreign Orc Corps is the right flank, and the Hill Native Corps is the middle main town!"
Downton walked down the stairs with his helmet in one hand. Turned over and rode on the Sherman Battle Bear, this kind of fight. He will inevitably charge into battle, and the heavily armed War Bear is much easier to use than the Green Goblin.
"Blood mallet, what are you doing in a daze? Go to command!"
Downton roared, tossing a Sherman Soul Mount badge away.
"I've got a mount!"
The blood mallet suddenly became a little cramped, and in such a short period of time, he was already startled again and again.
Reinforcements? to be honest. The blood mallet is unbelievable, there is no benefit, who would be stupid to come to support? Besides, it is not an easy thing for the army to cross the border, even if there is. I'm afraid I can't wait, but I didn't expect the reinforcements to come, but also powerful and terrifying.
Bloodhammer has also been in the adventure world, and has traveled to several countries, and the black hand heavy cavalry in front of him is definitely one enemy and one hundred, but what he cares more about is Downton's arrangement.
No matter how nice it sounds, the blood mallet has been prepared to let the clansmen be cannon fodder, but I didn't expect Downton to arrange them in the middle, and let the most loyal barbarians be the vanguard, you must know that in any big war, the proportion of casualties in the vanguard corps is always the largest.
"My personal guard, naturally I have to have an exclusive mount!"
After Downton finished speaking, he rushed out to the front line in the lead.
"It doesn't seem bad to follow such a master!"
The Bloodhammer clenched the badge and muttered a word, shouting for the chiefs to lead their people to the front line.
"Even if those natives really surrender, they should be sent to the front, the barbarians are very loyal, and one less one dies. ”
Jackson is not worth it for the barbarians.
"You know a!" Downton glared at the ghoul, "Do you think I don't want to save the barbarians? ”
Downton is also a clever woman who has no rice to cook, and the high bounty is opened, and the soldiers must see the hope of victory, otherwise the war of death, except for the hot-headed fools, no one wants to participate.
The border between the western and northern borders is a long and narrow plain, and because of the nearby Yuexi Lake, although the soil is rich in flame elements, there is always some grain harvested every year because of the irrigation problem.
At this time of year, many industrious civilians could be seen plowing the farms, planting the second crop of oats, but this year, Downton saw dozens of black plumes of smoke rising from the farms, and the military boots on the feet of the soldiers, ravaging the land fiercely.
"That's a lot!"
There was no need for a monocular, and Hu Tao put up a pergola with his hands, and he could see that more than a thousand meters away on the opposite side, there was a 10,000-strong corps steadily advancing.
The cavalry from the north had already appeared, except for the brigade responsible for the two flanks of the infantry phalanx not to be harassed by the cavalry from the west, the rest had already galloped over with all kinds of whistles.
"What's going on in the town across there? I've heard that we're ten times stronger than theirs, why does that sound like a high morale. ”
"It can't be that the military department lied about the military situation, right?"
"Possibly, when you listen to this shout, it seems that you are going to fight to the death!"
The soldiers were originally majestic and high-spirited, but suddenly they heard a loud roar erupting from Aoki Town, and they couldn't help but hesitate.
In the past, the military department also liked to exaggerate its own military strength and give the soldiers confidence in propaganda, so they subconsciously thought that the military department was lying, otherwise let alone a tenfold difference in troops, it was five times, and it is estimated that they would not have the leisure to shout like this.
"Shut up, I want to be beaten!"
The hundred-man commander threatened to suppress the bullets, but he couldn't pay attention to the whispers of the soldiers.
"Maybe the Duke of the Westside has some hole cards, right?"
"By the way, I heard that Downton used to be a civilian postman who ran errands and delivered letters, and in just two years, he became a blockbuster. ”
"This luck is simply the illegitimate child of Lady Luck!"
In Frankfurt, because the king is weak. Therefore, the names of the four dukes are the loudest, and Downton's counterattack from the postman to the duke is simply the ambition of many commoners, so to speak, for the four dukes who do not listen to the announcement, they are the uncrowned kings in their respective territories.
An eighteen-year-old Wang. How can a king who is in charge of millions of people not be envied?
Arnold knew that the other corps could not be trusted, so he directly let eight hundred-man troops be stationed at the front line, and the other two were reserves, and at the first moment of the enemy's attack, they got the news, and then quickly lined up, at this time they were already engaged with the enemy.
The tactical purpose of the Northern Cavalry was simple, that is, to make it impossible for the Western Army to stabilize its position. At the same time, try to shoot the living forces and reduce morale.
The Western Frontier Army is all infantry, and it stands to reason that the cavalry should have a crushing advantage, but after more than ten minutes of fighting, the soldiers on the opposite side fell in the single digits.
"The armor of these soldiers is so hard, it's like a turtle shell!"
"What should I do? Do you want to charge?"
"Rush a yarn, we're rangers, not hoplites!"
The captain cursed. The best way to use the Ranger is to roam outside the enemy's line and shoot at them, using bloodletting tactics to kill them. If you want to say that you can't rush into battle, it's just that the casualties are large, if it was in the past, the commander of a thousand people would have given the order, but today. He couldn't open his mouth.
The equipment of the Western Frontier Army is really sophisticated, they are wearing one-piece black armor, and the overcover armor is put down, revealing only two eyes. It is really difficult for the cavalry to shoot at such a small place, but in other places, the defense is terrible, and the crossbow arrows hit it, they can only burst out first-class sparks, and they cannot pierce it.
"It looks like heavy armor, but why does it move so quickly?"
Some soldiers complained that there was only one answer to this kind of question, and that was that they were wearing at least sophisticated enchanted equipment, and the armor was engraved with a weight-reducing magic array.
"What are you kidding? An ordinary soldier is dead, but it's just an enchantment of a few hundred gold coins, how much is a set of fine-grade equipment?"
The soldiers instinctively rejected this answer, besides, the quality of the equipment directly determines life and death, the two sides are at war, and they can't break the defense with a single sword, but they can cut through the armor, and life and death are decided.
"Keep it up!"
Looking at the black military formation opposite, the commander didn't dare to give the order to charge the formation after all.
"That's cool!"
When he saw the barbarian phalanx, Hu Tao couldn't help but whistle.
They wore the warrior-type hoplite armor that Downton found from the dungeon armory, which was the standard armament of the Northern Army of St. Gertland, a set worth 20,000 gold marks, in exchange for modern prices, up to more than 100,000 gold coins, they were mixed with a small amount of rare metals, and attached to the weight-reducing magic array, even ordinary human soldiers could wear it, without wasting their bodies on weight.
"This is my legion!"
Looking at the stable and tight phalanx, Downton sighed.
In addition to the St. Gertland armor of Yishui, the barbarian holds a warrior's spear in his left hand, a shield in his right, and a long knife hanging from his waist.
"Master, I ask to fight!"
The black hand asked for battle, and the inferior speed of the infantry made it impossible for the barbarians to deal with those cavalry, but relying on the shield, they ensured a single-digit attrition.
"Wait!"
Downton refused, the number of dwarves was too small, and once he pursued his opponent, it would be too time-consuming, and he wanted to use them on the blade.
"Is that Downton?"
"Even if it's not, it's bound to be a big shot!"
"That's Downton, what are you waiting for, kill him, but reward him with the title of baron!"
The avatars of the main members of the Western Territory, including Downton, had already been photographed with the Diwei Crystal and sent to the grassroots level, and after the Northern Cavalry recognized him, they immediately abandoned the infantry and surrounded him, once he was killed, the battle could end early.
