Chapter 578: The Beginning of the War (5)
"How is this possible?", all the mages of the Northern Army were shocked, they had never encountered such a situation: they could not sense the presence of the element. In the past, even if the elements were scarce due to various reasons, I could always sense one or two points, just like a blank piece of paper, no matter how thin the color was, it would always be dyed with a little color.
But now in their minds, the white paper is still spotless, and they really can't sense any element.
"It's done. Al breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was able to restrain the mage of the Northern Army, and he knew that this battle was seven or eight points certain.
The magic circle arranged by the Western Frontier Army is actually very simple, it is not a complex and powerful magic circle, and there is no condition to arrange too complex magic circle on the battlefield, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a magic circle that gathers elements and "detonates", which is a certain improvement on the basis of the spirit gathering array.
However, the main reason for achieving such a powerful effect is that the materials used to arrange the magic circle are too many and too powerful, and can even be described as extravagant. At first, when Medea saw the magic materials piled up like a small mountain, she couldn't even take a step, and she couldn't even get out of the pile. As for Al's idea of using all these materials as raw materials and arranging the magic circle, he resolutely disagreed.
"Do you know how many experiments can be done on these magic materials, how many results can be studied? Some of them I haven't even seen before, and I don't know how many years it will take to collect so many materials. Using so many materials to arrange such a simple magic circle is purely a tyrannical thing, you are a crime!"
However, Al insisted, "If you don't use so many materials, achieving the same effect means using more complex and more difficult circles to activate." On the battlefield, it means that there are too many situations, and the simpler and easier the circle, the more effective it is, and the complexity and difficulty mean the unexpected and the possible failure. ”
In the end, Al still persuaded Medea, "This is the final battle, win to get this kingdom, lose to lose everything." ”
"In this winner-takes-all gamble, even the 1 in 10,000 possibility of defeat must be avoided as much as possible, even if it costs more. ”
Thinking of this, Al silently said in his heart, "Thank you so much, Quinn. If we win this battle, you will be our hero behind the scenes. It was Quinn who stole so much magical material from the Emperor's private collection that gave Al the courage and courage to make such a plan. Just imagine if these materials fell into the hands of Reinhardt the Great, the current situation of the Western Army and the Northern Army would be completely reversed.
Al breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but Reinhardt the Great's heart lifted, "Damn, there are more and more accidents, I'm afraid it's not good to go on like this." ”
He had already smelled the ominous aura of defeat, and immediately made a decision: "It should be the sudden elemental riot in the Western Frontier Army just now, maybe they arranged some magic circle." ”
"In any case, I have to interrupt this circle and give full play to the advantages of my many mages. Thinking like this, he gave an order: "Cavalry, attack! Concentrate on breaking through the enemy's avant-garde array and causing chaos." ”
This is an order that goes against military sense, and generally speaking, unless it is a large number of heavy cavalry with absolute breakthrough and destructive power, the cavalry is mainly used to storm the enemy's flanks. Because the two flanks are generally the weak point of a complete formation, it is definitely easier for the cavalry to break through and tear the local formation.
The Chinese army and the avant-garde are the key places in the formation, and it is more difficult to break through, and it will cause great losses to the cavalry troops. However, at this time, Reinhardt the Great could no longer care about the death of these cavalrymen, and in his heart, these cavalry were outcasts, used to exchange for the nasty magic circle of the Western Army, and create space for those "supermen" under him to release magic.
With the neighing of horses, two columns of cavalry, already ready to go, rushed out from the flanks of the Northern Army, and they skillfully changed direction slightly as they advanced. The two columns of cavalry gradually approached in the battlefield, and finally formed a group, rushing straight towards the middle of the Western Army. It's like two streams meandering through and eventually merging into one river, flowing in the same direction.
Just such a seemingly simple merger can show the skillful horseback riding skills of these knights of the Northern Army and the degree of tacit understanding between them. In the case of not slowing down at high speed, if they are not familiar with each other and are not skilled, or if the war horse under the crotch runs slightly out of position, the two teams of cavalry are likely to collide together, and they will not be lined up in a neat queue as they are now.
The battle-hardened knights rose and fell as their horses ran as they tucked their spears between their arms, and without the slightest fear, they rushed towards the dense and bright spear formation of the Western Army's vanguard.
Experienced ones certainly know what they will do in a few minutes. They are not heavy cavalry, and when they attack such a spear formation, they will hardly have a chance of surviving. When they pierced their spears into the bodies of the soldiers of the Western Army, they were inevitably pierced by the spears of the soldiers of the Western Army, and the thin armor could not resist the kinetic energy brought by the sprinting of the horses.
However, they still stimulated the war horses with their spurs, and sprinted towards the vanguard of the Western Army, like moths to a fire, desperate to use their full blood to light the dawn of victory.
Heaven is on the left, warriors are on the right, they are afraid of death, but they are not afraid of death, because the glory is in the heart, and the responsibility is on the shoulders.
Although the avant-garde was ready, El was not prepared to take the risk, and if the cavalry of the Northern Army rushed in and disrupted the spell that had been carried out, it would be a big problem. You must know that no matter how powerful these mages are Medea, Levi, etc., they have no time to care about when they activate the magic circle with all their might, and if they are exposed to the spears of the cavalry of the Northern Army at this time, they will be fish to be slaughtered, and they have no ability to resist at all, and they can't even escape.
In general, if you don't want your own formation to be attacked by cavalry, the only way is for your own cavalry to launch a surprise attack. In this way, the two teams of cavalry hedged against each other and collided fiercely, so naturally they could no longer launch a charge.
However, this kind of cavalry hedging is extremely cruel, if the two sides are equal, it is likely that a hedge will make about one-third of the knights fall off their horses, which is more bloody and cruel than ordinary fierce battles.
Al is ready to take another layer of insurance, "Listen to my orders, Holy Cult Army, meet the attack!"
