Chapter 368: The Uselessness of the Military Heart (II)
[Today, the computer crashes repeatedly. I'm in a bad mood to write.,Also.,The background was paralyzed for a while.,I thought I couldn't update.,Well,Tomorrow's four more]
A battalion general suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, the county lord sent us here to listen to your command. Even if it is a battle to the death, we will not retreat. The enemy is heavy, and the morale of the army is useless. This is what the war book says, so please give the order. ”
Saleen was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the four battalions that Rex handed over to him were all battle-hardened soldiers. I don't have to inspire the morale of the army, these battalion generals will naturally do it. The most important thing at the moment is to make the strategic plan public so that the battalion commanders are well prepared.
The enemy is outnumbered, the morale of the army is useless, and there is another sentence behind it, which the battalion general did not say - only to fight to the death.
In the hearts of the Scochenians, there would be no such emotion. And in the hearts of these generals from Qin Yinren, dying on the battlefield is not a frightening thing.
If you win, you will get fame and wealth. Defeated, there is still honor.
"In that case, I would like to launch a surprise attack on land while the enemy is still on hold. The purpose of this raid is to let the enemy know that our Castle of Bones is also an elite army and cannot turn a blind eye. ”
The generals nodded in agreement, although this kind of operation was risky, Salin was not wrong, first to give the enemy a blow to make the enemy nervous, is the real intention of building the Bone Castle here.
"Thirty hours after this attack, my first battalion will dispatch two thousand heavy infantry. The four of you, each battalion has a banner regiment of heavy cavalry, and all of them are replaced with skeleton horses. I have a hundred chariots with fire oil and a hundred ballistas. ”
"Your Highness, only two thousand heavy infantry?" one battalion thought he had misheard, with only two thousand infantry, it would be difficult to break through the enemy's built defense, and the cavalry would not be able to rush in. It's also in vain.
"The Great Demon Guide of Mu En will accompany you, and when the time comes, there will be ten giant bone demons who will be responsible for destroying the enemy's outer defenses. ”
Mu En nodded hurriedly, indicating that he was confident.
"My 2,000 heavy infantry, all wearing magic armor and magic weapons in my hands, can fight for more than six hours without rest. "Saleen gave the generals the answer. Magic armor not only provides defense, but also can be the motivation of soldiers to fight, gently slashing with a sword, the power is provided by the magic array, the effect is like the chopping of a heavy axe.
The generals of Kushui County showed envious expressions, their soldiers, wearing semi-magic armor, but their defense was excellent, almost completely enclosed, and they were not afraid of low-level magic attacks such as poisonous mist.
Salin then put forward more than a dozen requirements, and transferred infantry units of various skills from the four main battalions of Kushui County to form a mixed battalion of 10,000 people.
The battalions will immediately go down and prepare. Draw manpower from various flag groups.
The time of the day passed quickly, and when night fell, in front of the Bone Castle, 10,000 soldiers were assembled, and in front of this group of soldiers was an army of undead.
The undead at the head are the ten giant bone demons, followed by the undead knights, skeleton soldiers, zombies, fangs, and white bone giant apes.
The Winged Skulls summoned most of the land undead to form an army of five thousand undead.
Even so, the eyes of the soldiers of Kushui County still showed expressions of generosity to death. There were only 5,000 undead, attacking a large battalion that might exceed 100,000 men, and no one had any intention of victory.
Salin no longer tried to boost morale, he waved his hand, Mu En smiled bitterly, and walked into the undead with the winged skeleton and the three jade skeletons.
The team set off slowly, for there were no roads built, and Saleen's improvised chariot was moving slowly. The winged skeleton knew that there were eighth-level magicians among the enemy, and he did not release the flying undead to reconnoiter the enemy, and the team slowly approached in the direction of the dock, and with the speed of the infantry, it could only advance twenty miles per hour.
This is for fear that the cavalry and infantry will be disconnected, take care of the chariots, otherwise a hundred miles of road, skeleton war horses can arrive in two hours at most.
When each soldier leaves, he drinks the water of repair to refresh himself. When the army approached the port, it was exactly two hours after midnight, and the large camp in front of the port, sparsely lit, only the periphery, was illuminated by magic lamps, and on the high arrow tower, the soldiers watched vigilantly.
Salin was not worried about this attack, he was in the middle army, protected by Su and the four demons, Elenor was also by his side, carrying the artifact-like longbow, and in the quiver behind her were twenty-four feather arrows refined by Salin himself.
Elven Space Arrow, Elven Creature Arrow.
Sarin's badge has not regained its attack ability, but his water golem has been fully restored and can use crystal fingers.
The Chinese army has no worries, and the rest depends on their own heavy infantry, and those heavy cavalry are the best candidates to kill the enemy's scattered soldiers. Skeleton horses can increase their speed instantly, and even in tight areas, these heavy cavalry still have a powerful impact.
As for the mage, Saleen has prepared traps for the enemy mages, and it's up to them to step in.
Yunliu people are not like Qin Yinren. A few outposts were set up at a distance of one mile from the camp, and everyone was huddled in the camp, and the camp was set up with a camp wall, three layers inside and outside.
The undead scout sent the information back, and Saleen sighed. The navy and the army are really two completely different creatures, the navy is ridiculously strong, but the army is a mess. This kind of big camp is wronged if it is not attacked by sneak attack.
Salin didn't know that this was because he was too far-sighted, and the people he came into contact with were Qin Yin or the elite of Kushui County, these armies. It's also rare on the entire continent. Yunliu people's large camp iron barrel is like a tower, and there are people on the towering arrow tower who use alchemy binoculars to observe, near the camp wall, there is a team of soldiers passing by every ten minutes, and they do not rest all night.
Saleen's sneak attack, or open attack, was exposed when his army reached a mile away from the main camp. Salin pointed to the soldiers on the tall arrow tower in the distance, who wanted to blow the alarm, Elenor with her longbow in hand, and an arrow broke through the air.
Almost instantly, the arrow went into the throat of the Yunliu soldier and pierced the neck bone.
The soldier's trachea was broken first, unable to sound the alarm, and then the neck bone was broken, completely paralyzed, and his body was weak, and he unfortunately knocked over the crossbow next to him and fell headlong off the arrow tower.
Soon patrolling soldiers arrived and found the body of the sentry. At this moment, the alarms in the Yunliu camp sounded one after another.
This arrow, however, provided an extra minute for Salin's army. The undead army in front of it has already been activated and is moving forward at full speed. How far can these undead rush out in a minute?
The Giant Bone Demon in front of him happened to run a mile away, and the undead knight behind the Giant Bone Demon was faster, but he reduced his speed to follow. When the alarm sounded, the bone blade in the giant bone demon's hand had already cut through a layer of camp walls.
The magic power of the giant bones is infinite, they have no wisdom, they grow deformed forelimbs, the bone blade more than three meters wide slashes violently, and the camp wall with red copper in the middle is cut out by the giant bone demon A gap of more than ten meters wide. The ten giant bone demons continued to chop, constantly widening the passage, and the undead were already swarmed in. Kill the tent of the Yunliu people.
The Giant Bone Demon moves slowly, has no merit at all except for its strong attack power, and is also extremely easy to kill. Wingskull took advantage of the Giant Bone Demon's only advantage and quickly slashed through the camp walls, providing time for his army of undead.
A large number of soldiers who were on vigil at the main entrance of the camp heard the alarm sound, and before the magic apprentice could give them specific instructions, they heard a deafening sound erupt from the east side of the camp, which was made by the giant bone demon when he slashed. Hundreds of soldiers took up their weapons and rushed to the camp gap.
What these hundreds of people encountered was an army of 5,000 undead. Like a black cloud, five thousand undead killed deep in the camp, and more than two hundred soldiers on duty were swept by the black cloud and turned into pulp.
The fleet of the Yunliu people had actually arrived, but the fleet was too large to disembark, so most of the soldiers on the warships did not disembark, and were still waiting for the empty space in the harbor. In the main camp, the soldiers were just over 100,000, and the camp on the side of the dock was still empty.
When the undead army entered, most of the Yunliu people were still asleep, and only one-tenth of the army, according to the laws of Yunliu, did not remove their armor. These 10,000 people, after hearing the magic alarm, took up their weapons within half a minute.
Salin's 10,000 troops rushed into the Yunliu camp at a more open gap, and the first was the heavy infantry on horseback, which was far more effective under the horse than on horseback.
The unified weapon of the heavy infantry was the axe, which weighed seventy-two pounds. Without the help of magical armor, most hoplites would not have lasted more than three minutes in battle.
In order to build his heavy infantry, Salin spent a lot of money, and each heavy infantry carried dozens of magic cores, including four sets of low-level magic cores, one set of intermediate magic cores, and scattered replacement magic cores, the role of these magic cores is to be embedded in the magic array of armor to provide combat effectiveness for soldiers.
Many aristocratic magicians are not treated so well, so you can imagine how the combat effectiveness of such a heavy infantry will be.
Two thousand heavy infantry destroyed the tents along the way, opening a road more than ten meters wide for the cavalry. Salin took his two hundred personal soldiers, followed closely behind the heavy infantry, and after following for a while, he found that there were no magicians in the camp to stop his infantry!
This shows that the enemy's strong ** division is still on the ship, and Saleen immediately gave the order to let people start setting fires.
The method of setting the fire was simple, the infantry set up makeshift trebuchets outside the camp, and the distance of this trebuchet was probably less than two miles, and there were only a pitiful four. Four trebuchets threw skins, and the skins were filled with oil. Saleen added magic powder to these oils, which, once burned, could not be extinguished with water.
The trebuchet threw oil bags on both sides, and the archers quickly fired rockets, igniting the oil bags on both sides, and immediately blaze on both sides of the path of Saleen's sneak attack. Heart-rending screams erupted in the camp.
Whining......
A low horn came from the distance, and the Yunliu people had already organized a team of more than 10,000 people near the port, and they were coming to this side, and in the sky, a magician in a black magic robe flew towards the place where the fire started, he didn't fly fast, and under him, there was a group of soldiers riding war horses, rushing through a chaotic barracks, each wearing magic armor, and the weapon in his hand was a golden short spear.
If you want to become a mage's protector, the worst condition is to reach the level of a junior swordsman, plus magic armor, a junior swordsman has the combat power of a senior swordsman.
