Chapter 41 Arrows rain like hemp, and iron horses are like knives
In order for today's war to be smooth and suitable, as soon as the sky dawned, the Imperial Army began to prepare.
Wayne deliberately put on a special armor produced by LONGi, and also put on a straight hole to breathe, and observed one slit at a time. After the whole set, Wayne felt like he couldn't walk.
Although I have been busy for the past year, I have also experienced the battlefield, and my physique is much stronger. But wearing this armor, I still find it difficult to move.
If the temperature had been higher, Wayne would have fainted from heat stroke on the way.
Mars looked at this armor with great interest, although the quality of this armor is not light, wearing it greatly reduces the power of the cavalry, and it is not suitable for actual combat.
But now it was a good fit, Wayne didn't need to bring a spear to charge through the line, and he didn't need a saber to kill the enemy. So even if the armor is not lightweight, it will not significantly reduce the speed of the march.
Perhaps an elven bow and arrow would not be able to shoot through this armor within ten paces.
"Master Wayne, I'm not nervous to look at you, you've been on the battlefield. ”
Wayne smiled as he put on his armor.
"In Heran, I have been on the wall, and I have the privilege of killing an elf. ”
When he heard Heran, Marston's eyes lit up.
"I heard that your artillery has played a huge role in Helan. ”
Wayne smiled but didn't answer, which tickled Mars's heart. But others obviously rejected him, and he couldn't continue to inquire.
Only another question can be asked.
"Now it is rumored that the armor and guns of the Nolan army are inferior, and even the bows and arrows of the elves cannot shoot through. Seeing Young Master Wayne's armor today, it seems to be a good point. ”
"General Mars still believes this, if he was really invulnerable, he wouldn't have died so many people in Helan. If General Mars likes this armor, after the victory in the war, I will send someone to send a set to the general. ”
Mars couldn't see any useful information, but he couldn't do without one more life-saving gadget. quipped.
"Then I'm grateful to Master Wayne, if this battle is won. Young Master Wayne's name is about to spread throughout the country, and only Young Master Wayne has dared to do this throughout the ages. At that time, those women in the imperial capital had another man in their dreams. ”
To set the mood up, Wayne said.
"If it fails, there will be another negative teaching material in the history books. ”
"Hahahaha!"
Evans laughed.
By the time the sun was rising, the army was ready.
This time the Imperial Army is not in the same formation as yesterday, with frontal hoplites and cavalry on both flanks. Hit this is to drag the elven army head-on, and then outflank it on both sides. This is the most traditional, classic and effective tactic.
It's just that this time there are only about 100,000 soldiers in the battle, and there are still 100,000 to deal with the unexpected.
And the elves have also adjusted, and it is no longer the defensive formation of yesterday. Now it is the shield man in front of the archers and the archers behind him, and the cavalry and non-archers on the sides are mixed formations.
As for the infantry, it was at the rear.
Yesterday Philip thought that the opposite side was really attacking, and concentrated his forces to open the defense. Cause the north to be empty, let them successfully break through, and send the news.
When I went back in the evening, I figured it out, and I should listen to those generals.
But he could not admit his mistake directly, which would greatly reduce the authority of the presbytery.
In the past two months, he has been studying while practicing, and his military knowledge has skyrocketed.
After yesterday's lesson, this time he roughly guessed that this time the Imperial Army was attacking, and the general's report confirmed this again.
And the elves' offensive formation was also based on his continuous study in the past two months and then cooperated with these generals. Of course, the cooperation of the generals is a crucial factor.
This time, he couldn't let the other side ventilate the city, and maybe he wouldn't need to ventilate. But in any case, yesterday's mistakes cannot be repeated.
If he starts fighting this time, he is not unsure.
Evans didn't think so much, and directly ordered the drum to attack, confident.
This self-confidence will also be transmitted downwards, which will improve morale.
Wayne looked through a crack at the dense field of guns outside, and surrounded him around the cavalry. At first, there were eyes from time to time, Bi had never seen this kind of armor, and his superiors ordered him to be sent to the west gate.
The armor wasn't breathable at all, and it made Wayne a little hot. It's a little itchy and I want to scratch. But you can't catch it in armor.
There are so many people, and they can't twist their bodies. It made Wayne feel bad.
It was only when the signal of attack came, Wayne's spirits were lifted, and the eyes around him disappeared.
The adrenaline rushed, and Wayne forgot about the itching.
After all, this time was much more dangerous than Helan's.
The infantry attacked first, and the heavy shields caused the infantry to march slowly. But looking at the dense arrows on the shield, it feels like it's okay to slow down.
If there is Kong Ming in this world, he can wake up with a smile when he sees the elves.
The cavalry on the right flank, where Wayne was, began to move, breaking away from the troops and circling a large arc.
On Heran, Wayne watched Bald fight from the city walls, not appreciating the difficulty.
Now he was in the middle of the battle, and the horse's hooves were running like thunder, and the roar shook the heavens and the earth.
It's not so much a lion as a wild horse, the direction of which you simply can't control.
Wayne now wants to be a drop in the waves, unable to control his actions, so he can only go with the flow.
Wherever the army goes, it must follow.
Wayne hears screams and makes contact with the elves.
It didn't take long for him to feel that the horse's hooves seemed to be stepping on something, a little soft. It's a corpse!
He had already entered, but Wayne still couldn't see the elves, he could only see the cavalry running around him.
Qiang~
An arrow rubbed against Wayne's armor, making a sound of metal clashing.
Wayne suddenly panicked in his heart, similar to a sense of fear. I had a similar feeling when I killed the enemy in Heran, but this time the fear was deep.
This time fate is not in his hands!
Yes~!
One of the cavalrymen surrounding Wayne was shot and quickly fell, and the cavalry behind pulled the reins to the left, bypassing him. This equestrian skill is difficult to practice in four or five years.
From a bird's-eye view from the air, you will find that Wayne's cavalry is like a silver knife piercing into the elven array. As the depth deepened, the silver knife slowly wore away and became thinner by the large cloth pressed by the black.
But there were always a lot of people around Wayne, one fell, and another made up. Just for him to block possible arrows.
People kept rolling off their horses, and there were already four or five corpses on their spears. For the speed of the march, slow down, skim off the corpses and continue the charge.
People kept falling, and the defensive line ahead was becoming more and more difficult to break through, but it didn't slow them down in the slightest.
The silver sword pointed straight at the west gate.
Wayne experienced what it means to be elite this time.
Wayne admitted that there was no artillery, that the two sides were equally armed, and that they did not ride horses. An iron fist can't break an iron shield.
In the period of cold weapons, willpower is often the key to victory, and the Iron Shield Cavalry Regiment is still not afraid in the face of death!
