The town of Sancha, since the day of the town's existence, has been a place of frequent wars, there are not many nearby villages, the only few farms have been emptied, and the spring wheat in the wheat fields has obvious traces of harvesting. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The weather in October will not be as hot as last month, and the occasional breeze is even more refreshing, which is a rare leisure season in the south of the Alan continent.

At noon on the 11th, Gray's army had had lunch and had rested, and at a quarter past two o'clock, the heavy barracks gate slowly opened, and two infantry brigades walked out of the barracks with neat steps.

They were followed by five squadrons of cavalry, one battalion of archers divided into two divisions, arranged on the flanks of two infantry brigades.

The marching procession of more than 3,000 people was like a long snake moving, bending forward on the official road, the thick military flag was hunting in the autumn wind, and the military musicians of the troops were playing bagpipes, inspiring the morale of the soldiers.

The soldiers silently prayed like goddesses in their hearts, praying that they would leave the battlefield alive, and then make meritorious deeds, and return to their hometowns in fresh clothes and angry horses...

Gray, escorted by his own soldiers, came to a high ground, and from here he observed, the soldiers moving below were like a black torrent, spreading along the official road, and the dust was like the waves raised when the torrent passed.

When the force reached a fork in the road, more than 3,000 soldiers were divided into two groups and advanced in two different directions, the two groups of soldiers were commanded by Sir Sven and Knight Jeff, and the five hundred cavalry were scattered to form field scouts.

When Gray saw this, he immediately ordered the herald behind him: "Order the follow-up troops to follow!"

His order was quickly conveyed, and the heralds at all levels rushed back and forth in the barracks, and ten minutes later, three thousand soldiers were followed by three thousand soldiers, who slowly moved out of the barracks, and Gray himself commanded them, leaving only a thousand soldiers in the camp to guard the logistics and baggage.

But that's not the case, it's just a test.

At the same time, the enemy did not know Gray's purpose, let alone where his focus was, so they could only defend on both sides, so that they could contain many enemy coalition soldiers and reduce the pressure on Trichadens.

If the enemy dares to concentrate on encircling and annihilating either of Gray's two forces with superior forces.

Then, this is exactly what Gray wants, and his follow-up troops can rush to another line of defense within ten minutes, and after half an hour, Gray can break the opponent's line.

Therefore, attacking two defensive lines may seem bold, but in fact there is not much danger.

As for the enemy forces encircling and destroying two places at the same time, Gray believed that the enemy coalition forces simply did not have such troops, and they needed at least 6,000 troops to blockade the town of Trichas, which was cumbersome.

This is half of Baron Durou's strength, and his remaining forces are to defend against Gray, and there must be a weak point in the defensive line, and Gray orders to attack both lines at the same time, and the other purpose is to find out the weak point of this enemy defensive line.

Sir Sven had the calm temperament peculiar to a middle-aged man, and a brigade of light infantry led by him was divided into four squares, with a hundred men in the front and three in the back with three hundred men each.

A hundred-man team at the front kept a distance of at least thirty to fifty paces from the follow-up troops, and five hundred archers were arranged by him in the middle, ready to cover the advancing team at any time.

Jeff Knight's troops were at least twice as fast as Sir Sven's, and his front hundred-man infantry was faster, at least fifty feet away from his follow-up troops, but Jeff Knight didn't order them to slow down.

The scattered procession of five hundred scouts ran back and forth, occasionally sending back news to let the two front-line commanders know where their troops were and the general movement of the enemy line.

"Whew"

Suddenly, a piercing strange sound sounded, and in front of Jeff's knight team, a pillar of fire rose into the sky like a fire dragon, and a scout and his war horse ignited in an instant!

"Ahh

The scouts screamed in pain, and the horses neighed as if they were blind, but more pillars of fire were drawn.

The intense heat of several pillars of fire made it obvious that even the soldiers of the infantry team hundreds of feet away could clearly feel a slight tingling pain on their faces.

"It's a magic trap!" shouted one of the scouts, wide-eyed, as he blew the magic whistle he carried with him.

Suddenly, the shrill but rhythmic sound of the magic whistle resounded within a radius of ten miles.

All the officers and men of the Gray attack force were stunned, because this was a general signal.

"There's a magic trap, stop!" Sir Sven, who was a few miles away, was so surprised when he heard this signal that he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered the advancing team to stop.

Sir Sven shouted, "Archers ready to break the magic arrows!"

The veterans knew what the signal meant, and their hearts were nervous, and the recruits were at a loss, and Sir Sven rode his horse beside his group, knowing that the soldiers' resolve was wavering, and he did so to reassure them.

"Steady, the archers are ready to break the magic arrows, cover the projectile!" Jeff Knight and Sven ordered the troops at the same time.

The entire arrow of the Demon Breaker Arrow has a layer of Mithril, which triggers all magic, and at the same time, the destructive attack generated by the magic element does not damage the arrow much.

To put it bluntly, a magic attack is an energy attack, and he is not some kind of specific object, and Mithril repels this energy,

The archers of the regular army of the human king will be equipped with one of these arrows in their quivers, which is standard.

Of course, these arrows are very expensive, so the light infantry in the front row will retrieve them after a round of covered fire from the archers, and then give them to the archers for a second round of projectiles.

Although they will definitely be hit by the enemy's long-range attack when they retrieve these arrows, there is no way to do it, and if the magic trap is not broken, the army will not be able to move forward.

In the defense of the Elan Continent, placing magic traps in the front row is the most common tactic.

However, there are also many traditional nobles who reject the use of magical power, believing that this power should not appear on the battlefield where the honor of a nobleman is at stake.

Of course, they are more afraid of the widespread use of this power on the battlefield, and they can imagine how terrible it is when magical power is abused on the battlefield.

When a dense rain of arrows like locusts fell, rows of dense pillars of fire rose out of thin air, and at the same time, scalp-numbing thorns rose from the ground.

Even Gray, who was a few kilometers away, could feel the power of the magic elements on the front line, his face was very ugly, his anger was already between his eyebrows, and Hanks and Taqia next to him were unconsciously a little farther away.

"They actually use magic, is this to keep dying?" Gray's anger and murderous aura made everyone around him shiver.

The war between the nobles of the human kingdom, subconsciously, will not use magic, except for the situation of right and wrong, it seems that these three families plan to gamble.

"This is the best way to delay time and strike at the living forces of our army, and it will take at least two days for us to clear these traps, and the casualties during this period will be unpredictable." ”

"You don't need to remind me!" Gray stared coldly ahead.

It's obviously too late to build a batch of demon-breaking arrows, and Gray doesn't have that kind of financial support now, so there's only one way to do it quickly and without damaging the troops.

Everyone knows about this method, but few people use it.

Keith's eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice and said, "Fifty miles behind us, there are two large villages..."

He said this, and there was no way to say any more, because Gray was staring at him, so that he could not say anything at all.

Hanks and Takia glanced at each other, and then quickly lowered their heads.

It only took a moment for Viscount Case to recover again, and he took a few deep breaths and looked Gray in the eye. "If you think there's anything wrong, you can do it in my name, after all, I'm still the lord of the Covind Lord!"
