Chapter 254: Matchup
Soldiers, treacherous and treacherous—
Surprise and attack unprepared, the right way.
The two sides lined up neatly, put up a stance, and then started fighting, what is the difference between this and street hooligan fighting? There is no technical content at all.
What's more, it is a cavalry that can move quickly, quickly detour, divide and outflank, like an eagle catching recklessly, and slowly eat away at the opponent's strength, this is her Dongfang Mu Li's military path.
It's a pity that in this world, there are too few people who can keep up with her thoughts, and they seem to prefer to fight hard, like pure power competition.
Stupid, stupid.
But back to the moment, they can only use this way, on the one hand, there are people who need their cover, and the role they play is the victim, and on the other hand, because of the environment they are in now, they are not covered, and the two sides can see it clearly, and the roundabout outflanking is all.
I didn't expect that the first battle I commanded, the real battle of the army, would be carried out in the way I didn't like the most, the so-called things were up to people, unlucky!
The people who should be evacuated have all been withdrawn, and all that remains is a fight between you and me, and the outcome is unpredictable, and it is all variable.
The troops led by Carbien lined up behind the battle as a reserve army, and those who were wounded were arranged in that team, such as Di Lin and others, who would not leave.
Mu Li and Wu Ti each led a force to form a formation in front, and hundreds of Icanathan's captives were driven to the front of the battle to serve as shields, an act that was vile and inhumane, but not a single one stood up against it at the moment, and they had no more sympathy and kindness left for the enemy.
In order to preserve the physical strength of the horses, before seeing the enemy, the soldiers did not get on the horses, but stood next to the horses to feed the forage, which was their closest comrades-in-arms after the war, a good war horse, can save lives at critical moments.
Three thousand against seven thousand, the balance of strength was superior, both sides were on the road overnight, and the Starmian side fought another night last night, and certainly did not have the physical strength of the Icanathan—the pursuing force could not have been the enemy in the camp last night, but fortunately they were the victorious side in that battle, and at least they could compete with the other side in momentum.
You have to hit the opponent with one blow to have a chance to win, so momentum is important.
After Mu Li and Wu Ti discussed, it was finally decided that Mu Li would say a few words, it was necessary to mobilize before the war, and Mu Li came forward to make the soldiers more familiar with this young female officer and facilitate command, all the time, her existence was like a legend, a little far away from ordinary soldiers.
Mu Li rode his horse and walked around in front of the formation, and the sound was poured into the sound transmission magic, resounding throughout the sky.
"Soldiers, first of all, I want to say 'I'm sorry', many of you, I don't know the name, but now, you are standing here, for me Dongfang Mu Li, there is a common name, warriors! Soldiers, today we fight side by side, victory, great feats, glory, defeat, head and blood return to this land. The city of the Azores stands right behind us, and thousands of dead souls are watching us fight today, where Icanathan's steel knives were raging not long ago, and at this moment, we want to show them that the steel knives of Stamia are faster and more ruthless, and that their heads are our credit, and that we will wash our way home with their blood......"
Mu Li raised the long whip in his hand, raised his arms and shouted: "This battle, fight to the death and never retreat!"
Rennes, Ruka and others first raised their knives and echoed: "Fight to the death and never retreat!"
The tsunami-like voice of the mountains immediately sounded: "Fight to the death and never retreat!"
Bursts of swords and guns were raised hula, and the cold light flickered like a forest.
Wu Wai led more than a dozen people to rush on the flanks, rolling up the smoke and dust in the sky, and shouting with great momentum.
"Fight to the death!"
In late summer, the midday sun is still hot, and the sun shines on the white earth, reflecting a silvery light that dazzles people's eyes.
The Icanathan army, which had been rushing for a long time, saw the cold iron armor standing in the white light from a long distance.
Commander Icanathan glanced up at the sun overhead, his hands clenching unconsciously in the reins, making a screeching grinding sound.
"Sir, it's not good for us to start a war at this time!" reminded the adjutant next to him.
But it's all here, and it's wishful thinking to retreat at all.
"It's just a group of remnants, are we still afraid? ”
"The subordinate is guilty. ”
The commander secretly calculated in his heart that the other party's troops were limited, so he really didn't need to worry too much, but he always felt that he had been tricked, didn't it say that he would not encounter resistance? Didn't he say that the other party would definitely choose to withdraw his troops? He could take people to "slash and kill as much as he wanted" The promise is a fart, right?
Because they are all cavalry units, in order to ensure speed, the number of magicians in their respective teams is very limited, and they can only play some auxiliary roles in key positions, and the natural physical disadvantage of magicians makes them unable to adapt to this kind of long-distance running.
There was no magic attack, and the bow and arrow archery alone held up the first wave of battle, and after the dazzling rain of arrows, the first to fall were the captives in front of the Starmian formation, who were restricted from movement and were the most standard 'meat shields', which was another huge blow to the Icanathan army, because most of the arrows that killed them were their own people's arrows.
Then, the vanguard of the two armies collided violently, spear to spear, scimitar to scimitar, men and horses staggered fierce battles, spears pierced into the body to bring out blood, scimitars cut into the flesh and severed arms and limbs, poof, the sound of flesh and blood splitting, accompanied by the terrible screams and roars of the dying, pierced the eardrums, and even stirred up the surging killing intent in the hearts of the soldiers.
The tension and excitement of the battle, with the swords and guns slashing at the enemy at this moment, unscrupulously vented out.
When Mu Li mentioned the city of the Azores, they didn't even feel it, not even the sentence "great feat", and now I don't know if it was because of the cruelty of the battle, or because the enemy was close at hand, they actually had a sense of revenge, and blood could dye everything crazy.
War is never merciful, it is the most straightforward, naked collision of blood and fire.
The cavalry unit of Ikanathan is obviously an elite unit that has experienced a lot of actual combat, especially the unit responsible for the charge, which is extremely fierce. After the first wave of the charge, the Starmi army already showed signs of being unable to support it, and the horsepower and physical exertion were too great.
Kun Wu God rolled up a corpse flying in the air and smashed an enemy who was raising a scimitar off his horse, Mu Li wiped away the dirty blood that fascinated his eyes, and quickly glanced around. She and her team had already broken into the formation for nearly 100 meters, and her own casualties were not counted, but the enemy still had a whole formation of 1,000 troops that did not enter the battlefield.
Since going to the battlefield, Mu Li has never shouted tired, a pain, if the wound on her body is not seen by others, it will be ignored by her, people's thinking is easy to form inertia, she does not say a word, and the people around her have naturally formed a subconscious of "she will not be injured and will not be tired", in fact, as long as you think about it a little, you will know that Mu Li should have reached the limit a long time ago, but her relaxed performance has made everyone ignore this.
Of course, Mu Li knew her state, otherwise she wouldn't need to squeeze her strength by drinking that thing, and now she could clearly feel a faint pain in all parts of her body, but she couldn't tell if it was because of the old injury or the reaction of that thing.
If she can't hold on, her team won't be able to hold on either, and the battle will have to end as soon as possible.
The god Kunwu flipped and flew and flew a few more besieging enemies. The dark red whip body vibrated slightly, like an unstoppable beast, and the strange figure surrounded Mu Li and rushed left and right, forming a tight protective net around him.
Mu Li stood on horseback, otherwise with her height, it was almost no different from being buried in the crowd.
The Icanathan military flag was in the distance, Mu Li looked at the direction of the military flag, raised his right hand and stretched out his thumb, visually measured the distance, and the next second his palm flipped over, and a magic signal flare flew into the sky and exploded.
Mu Li fell back into the saddle, and his voice was poured into the sound transmission magic: "Wu Wai!"
They hadn't cooperated in any way before, and Mu Li had to remind Wu Qi to pay attention to her actions before she could rest assured, but she couldn't say too much, lest the enemy know her purpose, so she just called her name and didn't say anything more.
"Follow me. Mu Li beckoned to Ren and the others beside him, grabbed the horse's belly with his feet, and rushed out, and the enemy on the road in front instantly turned into slaughtered lambs, and the blood flew and intertwined picturesquely.
Wren and the others drove their horses to follow, turning this road into a road of death completely.
In the chaos, Wu Qi was startled by Mu Li's shout, before this he had seen the magic bullet she released, and the military flag reflected by the magic bullet, he could roughly guess what she wanted to do, but before he could react, Dongfang Mu Li snorted, making his name resound throughout the battlefield, even if there was no tacit understanding between them, he would not be so stupid, right? Wu Qi almost wanted to strangle that stinky girl.
But now it is obviously not suitable to think about things at this time, Wu Ti saw from a distance that Mu Li and his party deviated from the direction of the initial impact and turned to the enemy's flag, while the troops assigned to her direct command remained in place and fought fiercely, completely not understanding what was happening—the truth of that voice was all on this.
Wu Ti immediately ordered the troops to disperse and form a line with the troops under Mu Li's command to expand the attack area and attract the enemy's attention, while he moved closer to Mu Li's troops left in place while fighting and took over her command.
If you want to be investigated, Dongfang Muli's behavior is a big crime of leaving his post without permission. To put it nicely, she is too casual, and it is not suitable to do things in an army that requires close cooperation and prohibitions, and as a commander, it is even more taboo - unless she can have a large army that can keep up with her rhythm, even if she is not at the post, she can fight independently, and this is almost impossible, the army is composed of people, and without a unified command, it is a plate of scattered sand, let alone combat effectiveness.
The pressure of Wu Qi increased sharply, and with such an attack, the troops' defense line was very weak, and there was no buffer room, which was almost equivalent to suicide, and they could not hold out for long.
