The two large steel phalanxes, which were also one kilometer wide but had a huge difference in thickness, were getting closer and closer in the midst of neat footsteps and shouts, and the distance was reduced from 400 meters to 300 meters and 200 meters......

Gradually, he was able to see the fierce eyes of the enemy soldiers, even the heavy infantry under the cover of the iron helmet mask, and two murderous qi could shoot out of the eye hole.

Chang Le himself did not stay in front of the formation, but only quietly stayed in place, letting the soldiers squeeze past him, and in the blink of an eye, he changed from a front-line combat participant to a spectator at the rear of the phalanx.

He is not afraid of battle, in the past almost every time he has taken the lead, and he has just stabbed the commander of the enemy's ace unit, but today his most important duty is to see the situation clearly and adjust the deployment at any time, which is what the commander should do.

Not only did he leave the front line by himself, but even Skinny Monkey and Lola moved to the rear under his orders.

The elf queen is always a cold watcher, and the battle sect-level cultivators are strictly forbidden to participate in front-line battles, and they are not allowed to do anything to ordinary soldiers, this is a human rule, and elves participating in human warfare cannot be violated either.

The commanders who fought on foot on the front line to boost morale had Victor on the left flank, Louis the Iron Fist on the right, and Miranda in heavy armor in the center.

Miranda's task was supposed to be undertaken by Weber, the duke's son has the highest military rank and the strongest strength, and he has been quite cooperative in all aspects recently, and Chang Le is willing to give him a chance to wash away the shame of defeat.

However, Weber made excuses before the battle, saying that he was not feeling well, that he was not in good shape, and that he should actually be afraid of death.

Without waiting for Chang Le to make a sarcastic remark, Miranda took the initiative to take over this glorious mission.

Although this narcissist, who thinks she is the most beautiful in the world, is very annoying, Changle has no doubts about Miranda's bravery and fighting spirit, so the most important central front is still delegated to her.

Before leaving in the morning, Miranda suddenly came to Chang Le, smiled strangely, and stared straight into his eyes:

"Standing in the first row of the phalanx, you know how dangerous it is, I could die in this battle. ”

"You're still laughing since you're going to die?"

"If I'm dead, you won't be bothered, I'll be happy for you. ”

"I wouldn't be happy. Chang Le replied seriously, "I really don't like you, but you are the daughter of my benefactor and my comrade-in-arms at this moment, and I will never want you to die." ”

Still smiling, Miranda turned her gaze to the ground to the side and whispered:

"You said you didn't like me, but the first time we met, I couldn't forget the way you looked at me. ”

When they met for the first time, Chang Le regarded her as Sister Xue Ying, and of course her eyes were full of affection and sentimentality, but it was a pity that Miranda's domineering words at that time almost made Chang Le vomit blood.

So he sneered:

"Don't think about it too much, you are just very similar to my deceased lover, but your heart is much worse than hers, there is no comparison. ”

"So that's the case, I thought you were doing something to pick up girls, the more cold you are to the beauties, the more you can attract the attention of the beauties, so you ignore me......"

Miranda smiled self-deprecatingly, stared at the ground at her feet for a moment, and then looked up suddenly:

"Even if it's a misunderstanding, I'm in love with you, this battle may be a permanent secret, I don't want to hide the words in my heart. ”

Chang Le was dumbfounded:

"When did you fall in love with me?"

"From the time you were cultivating in my house......"

"So early?" Chang Le shouted, "Then you betrayed me later?"

"I know the city guards can't catch you. Miranda smiled bitterly and raised her gaze to look at him again, "I just want to make meritorious contributions, since you have caused my father to be dismissed, I will use you to atone for my father's sins, it's fair, right? More importantly, it is to ruin your date with Fanny, you two can't reconcile, so I can have a chance." ”

Chang Le couldn't cry or laugh:

"Okay, I see, but I've reunited with Fanny, and it's useless for you to mess with it. ”

"Hmm!" Miranda smiled and nodded, "I'm much better off being able to talk before I die." ”

Speaking of this, she looked at the morning light, her eyes were bright like tears, and the smile on her beautiful face that resembled Xue Ying was calm, as if she was really ready to face death.

Chang Le felt in his heart:

"What nonsense, with your strength, as long as you don't run out of physical strength too quickly, ordinary soldiers can't kill you, otherwise I wouldn't have sent you to that position!"

"If you can't be with your beloved, what's the difference between life and death?"

Miranda was still laughing, but Chang Le was furious:

"You're threatening me, and if I'm not with you, you're going to die?"

"Of course it's not a threat, don't you think so? People sometimes live worse than die?"

"I don't! I believe it's better to die than to live!" Chang Le gritted his teeth and said, "Are you trying to force me to tie you up here and not allow you to go to war?"

Miranda smiled:

"I don't want to die, teasing you, knowing that you are reluctant to let me die, knowing that you actually love me, that's enough. ”

Chang Le couldn't cry or laugh again:

"Who's in love with you? You narcissist!"

"It's obviously a coincidence that you're hard-mouthed! I heard that I was engaged to Webb, so you led your army to kill us, occupied Fort Stanley, took command of Webber, and made me your subordinate, is this also a coincidence?"

Miranda approached with a happy and sweet face, and Chang Le took two steps back in fright, but she grabbed her by the collar.

She continued to smile:

"I got engaged to Webb just to provoke you to take action, you two fought for me at the academy, don't think I don't know. ”

"He fought me for you, but I didn't fight him for you......"

Chang Le's voice became smaller and smaller, and he felt that his reasons were very unconvincing, and the "you are hard-mouthed" smile on Miranda's face clearly confirmed this.

"Okay, I'm not going to force you. Miranda patted him softly on the chest, "I'm going to wear armor, you fought for me before, and today I'm fighting for you!"

After taking a few steps, she turned back again:

"I got engaged to Weber, and I didn't let him touch my finger, I kept it for you, but I'm not a conservative woman, if you hesitate for too long, don't blame me for finding a handsome guy to have fun, men and women are equal, chastity is a fart!"

After saying that, she smiled brightly, squeezed her eyes, and turned to leave.

At that time, Chang Le looked at her slender figure with long legs and was speechless.

Now looking at her heavy back in silver armor, her heart is also fluctuating.

What exactly she is thinking, even Chang Le himself does not know, but one thing is very certain, that is, "Miranda must not die", if she is in danger, even if she leaves her command duties, she must rush over to save her.

Miranda is strong, but the danger is definitely there.

The formation under Changle was looser than the opposite side, which on the one hand made it easier for archers and commanders to move back and forth, and on the other hand, it was also to maintain the "thickness" of the formation while maximizing the frontal width to prevent the enemy from outflanking the two flanks.

However, when the two armies come into contact, the consequences of loosening the formation are immediately apparent, because the denser enemy phalanx means that one of your soldiers will have to face two enemies, and a commander like Miranda will be under a concentrated siege.

Chang Le is very clear about this, and the basic knowledge of the first lesson of "formation science" in the military academy is taught.

Caring about Miranda, he could not ignore the casualties of ordinary soldiers, so he ordered the archers to be transferred and all concentrated on the left flank to launch a devastating blow to the 30,000 Zaran light infantry on the right flank of the coalition army.

The elven heavy infantry in the middle lane has the advantage of equipment and strength, and should be able to withstand it, and the key to victory or defeat depends on the right lane, how long the two thousand light infantry of "Iron Fist Louis" can withstand and how much time they can buy for him.

Miraya was puzzled by this:

"Why can't the archers line up to support the whole army?"

"Projection firepower, the more intensively it is used, the better the effect. ”

Changle unknowingly used the terminology of the otherworldly war taught by Anita, but Miraya could understand it completely, in fact, she originally had no military foundation, only archery was good, so Changle tried to learn whatever she taught.

Chang Le turned to the Elf Queen again:

"Your Majesty, the casualties of your people today will not be small, but I will give you back an army that has experienced the baptism of war and is more adept at field battles outside the forest, as well as a commander who has learned to command this kind of war!"

The queen nodded slightly:

"I trust you, please concentrate on commanding the battle, and don't worry about what I think. ”

At this time, screams had begun to be heard from the front, and the concentrated arrow rain on the left flank quickly paralyzed the right flank of the coalition army, the momentum of advance was contained, the soldiers fell in large areas, and the remaining survivors also began to waver, some stood still, and some simply turned around and fled.

So, with the contact of the main force in the center, the battlefield form is like two giants rushing together, head on top of the stalemate, the right side of the two hands are holding each other, but the left side is the smooth advance of Changle troops, once the enemy army in front of it is defeated, you can outflank the center, like a left hook.

In addition to the special circular defensive array, once any phalanx is besieged by the enemy from different directions, it means that the combat coordination will fall into chaos, lose the meaning of the phalanx "shoulder to shoulder against the enemy", and the morale of the troops will also be seriously affected.

Eriot, of course, would not turn a blind eye, and as the new signal flag was raised, a dozen trebuchets began to slowly rotate, striking at Changle's left flank, where in addition to the advancing light infantry, there were also nearly 10,000 elven archers.

This area has become a common target for the "throwing fire" of both sides.

However, the trebuchet works very slowly, which also gives Changle enough time to react.

As he gave the order in his mind, some of the black dots that loomed in the clouds quickly grew larger, they were the swoops of the flying behemoth, and the two armies in the melee on the ground seemed unaware.

The necromantic cavalry led by Pabadova has been on standby for a long time, and it is still equipped with a driver and two archers, and the number of necromantic birds has increased to more than 400 after the last living sacrifice.

The dark creature that drives this terrifying will affect Chang Le's image to some extent, and he originally planned not to use it lightly until the moment of crisis.

And now is the critical moment, since the trump card is shot, then do not do two stops, the necromantic cavalry soldiers divided into two ways, all the way to the catapult, all the way to the distance, after forming a team, along the direction of the enemy's formation to stop the waist and cut horizontally.

The fast-moving trebuchet was already in place, and the boulder flew into the air, and smashed down towards Changle's left wing, and when it landed, it was filled with dust and smoke, and the "boom" was earth-shattering.

Fortunately, the enemy was not aiming accurately, the troops did not suffer significant losses, and the trebuchet obviously had to adjust the angle according to the impact point.

Chang Le never gave the other party a chance to adjust, and ordered in his mind:

"Pabadua, quick! Kill all the trebuchets!"

The necromantic bird screamed and swooped down in the air, casting a black shadow into the earth as if a dark cloud was pressing down.

Clay pots filled with "gasoline" fell to the ground and exploded into large clouds of black water and mist around the trebuchet.

Then, there was the Elven Archer's rocket, and hundreds of brilliant points of light were scattered from the dark clouds.

Seeing that a spectacular sea of fire was about to be born, and I was afraid that it would also affect the wooden platform of Elliot, I suddenly saw Elliot get up and wave his hand.

The coalition's mage regiment has finally been dispatched!

More than a dozen orcerers in gorgeous clothes rode on white horses, each rushing to their respective positions, and immediately after, one after another, a crystal light bullet rose into the sky and exploded into a brilliant white mist.

It was the "ice storm" that Changle himself used to extinguish the fire, and he could think that so could Elliot!

And the effect of the ice storm is to directly extinguish the incoming rocket!
