Chapter 1060: A Sneak Attack in the Forefront
"I'm not...... Deliberately. "Hughes faced such a cavalry force of at least tens of thousands of people, how could he still have the unruly appearance before. That is, Lin Jiu didn't know what the other party looked like before, otherwise he would have to let him recover no matter how high or low he was.
"It doesn't matter if you did it on purpose or not, the problem is that you sabotaged the arrangement of our army's external reconnaissance. Just this is enough for you to die. Lin Jiu stared at the two opposite with a smile. He's not here to kill, but needs a leading party.
"......" Hughes clenched the longbow in his hand, ready to break the net with Lin Jiu and these mermaids.
Simon grabbed Hughes, walked around to the front, showed a respectful look, and said, "Powerful sir, if you don't rush over directly, it means that we have something to serve." Please also make it clear that if we can do it, we will make amends for our mistakes. ”
"I like to talk to smart people." Lin Jiu looked at Simon's calm performance just now, and knew that there was a guy who could use his brain among the two, and he didn't need to push too hard, the other party would know what he meant.
"You know that the Jotunheim area is not a quiet time, and the performers who like to use acrobatics have come with people. So here we are. You're the masters here, so please help us find the location of these guys. If that can't be done...... Arroyo? Lin Jiu said, looking sideways at Arroyo behind him.
"Report sir, they're from the Ghana tribe." Arroyo is the person in charge of receiving information and reporting to Lin Jiu, and knows a lot about the situation on Jotunheim's side.
"You heard that, too. I don't need to explain what that means. Of course, you can also try to pull the other party directly against us. I hope those miscellaneous people dare to fight with us openly. Lin Jiu asked the two aborigines in front of him to mobilize the forces of their own tribes to find out the specific location of Indehuo's troops. If you give the other party a mighty sneak attack like that, the effect is estimated to be very good.
Lin Jiu, who is familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War, naturally knows that he knows himself and his opponent, and he will not be defeated in a hundred battles. This is also a point that every general who leads the army to fight a war needs to know. When Lin Jiu directly locked on the specific position of Indehuo's troops, the Fourth Army of the Wandering Soul Cavalry would directly charge.
The movement of 30,000 people charging together was huge, and the momentum of rushing up was also unstoppable. Then the enemy, who was not prepared in advance, will not have time to deal with it, even if he perceives the movement. This is a vast, open, and dignified sneak attack.
Lin Jiu is very sure to do this. Because he has carefully studied the reason why the other party was beaten by the army of the Cesar Empire again and again, and basically never won. This is due to the high status of the magician.
If you know the history of a dynasty in which a civilian official was extremely high and could command military generals to fight, then you know how this high status can be harmful to military warfare. The mage is so engrossed in the pursuit of something new that the troops that result in it are not murderous. The Republic of Indeho also relies on a large number of mages to defend itself against foreign enemies. It can only be said that the success is also a mage, and the defeat is also a mage.
Lin Jiu asked Hughes and Simon to set off immediately to investigate the intelligence. Nor did he leave any marks on these two men. Anyway, I can run a monk, but I can't run to the temple. He just needs to keep an eye on the Ghanaian tribe. It is not so easy for a tribe to escape, if they care about their relatives, then they must mobilize all their forces to help Lin Jiu find out where the enemy army is stationed.
Somewhere in the Ida Field, where a large number of soldiers were stationed, in the middle of these camps, there were tents that looked gorgeous and extravagant. Unlike the exact tents of the Wandering Cavalry Legion, mages who devote themselves to academic research may not care about this, but there are always some self-proclaimed noble fellows who need these to decorate their status.
It should be said that the mage who has devoted himself to research has gone everywhere to find that new thing. No one can stop these arrogant mages, and those who care more about their status will stay in the ornate tents crowded by the army.
As a result, the ornate tent, even if it was covered by mist, was discovered by the Ghanaian tribesmen from a distance.
"Sir, this is the information you need." Simon came to see Lin Jiu and conveyed the information they had discovered. He didn't take the initiative to ask anything else, because no matter what, the initiative was in the hands of the other party, and he was afraid that asking too much would cause unhappiness.
"The rest is none of your business." Lin Jiu told Simon to fuck off, he wasn't interested in a tribe. Now there's a big piece of meat waiting to be nibbled on. You must know that they are cavalry legions, and the food and grass they bring out will not last long.
And if the winner cannot be determined in a short period of time, then Lin Jiu will inevitably choose to rob the aborigines like the Ghana tribe to ensure the combat effectiveness of his soldiers. Simon also understands this a little, they didn't provide useful information, the probability of being destroyed is not small, and it doesn't matter whether they offend the other party or not, this is the cruelty of war.
And there is another option in front of them, and that is that the Ghanaian tribe turns against the water and informs the group of Indeho. But this had little effect on Lin Jiu.
The Ghanaian tribes, as a productive force in the Jotunheim region, are not without brains. Even if you don't have a brain, you're not blind. The wars of the Indeho Republic abroad have always been the end of being crushed to the ground by the Cesar Empire, I don't know how many times I have watched it. What they are powerful is the tall city walls that have been constantly enchanted by the group of magicians, and the magic cannon, the artifact that defends the city.
Even if they informed Indeho's army, they couldn't change the fact that they were beaten again, so it was better to do it obediently.
"Array!" Lin Jiu only has the blessing of military formation skills, and it depends on Joan of Arc to really lead the troops to fight. Under the command of Joan of Arc, 30,000 cavalry were arranged in a horizontal formation.
This is one of the ideal formations for a cavalry charge, and there are not many opportunities to perform it perfectly. And now that the enemy is clear and I am dark, the enemy is weak and I am strong, and the time and place are favorable, so it is natural to use the most direct way to kill the past.
The cavalry front is wide to maximize deterrence and lethality, and it is not easy to be outflanked, and the only disadvantage of lack of depth can be solved by repeated charges or multiple waves of charges.
The horizontal team has high requirements for the quality of personnel, and the soldiers of the Spirit Cavalry Legion naturally meet the requirements. The only restriction is the question of the general's mastery of this formation.
Unfortunately for Indeho's troops, it was the French cavalry of the 15th century who excelled at the cross-cavalry charge in a derivative world based on real-world history. And Joan of Arc was the general who turned the tide at that time.
An open-minded and dignified sneak attack is underway. Birds and beasts felt the movement of the cavalry charging from afar, and quickly moved away.
And when the Fourth Army of the Soul Cavalry was nearby, Indeho's troops also noticed something unusual. The warriors could only be hastily organized and arranged in defensive formation, hoping that relying on the enchanted shield, they could resist the ferocious charge.
