"I'm afraid this is the other party's conspiracy, if they are the main force to change the number, we will suffer a big loss. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Gao Qiming said cautiously.
"Brother Gao's courage is too small, if you are afraid, you can lead the troops to defend Shannan City by yourself, I will personally lead the troops to attack, defeat these people in one fell swoop, and let that Fang Ruitao see that our imperial regular army is not a muddy team. Bu Chengyun is obviously very confident in his subordinates.
knew that he couldn't resist him, not to mention that Gao Qiming was faintly unconvinced in his heart, and then he didn't continue to stop Bu Chengyun. Anyway, they have a lot of troops, as long as their Eighth Legion firmly controls Shannan City, even if the Thirteenth Legion has any mistakes, he can take it.
After discussing properly, Bu Chengyun took advantage of the siege before the Shouyang army launched the siege war, and preemptively took his thirteenth army out of the city to meet the battle.
Gou Jinguang was building a camp to place logistics materials, and at the same time deploying troops to prepare for the siege, but he didn't expect that he was not busy yet, and the officer in charge of the guard came to report. Hearing that the other party actually opened the city gate and went out of the city to face the battle, Gou Jinguang was all happy. "These guys are really arrogant, I didn't hide in the city and shivered when I came to attack the city, but I dared to come out. Okay, this will let you see how strong the Shouyang Army is. Gou Jinguang has decided to give this group of people a little color.
The two local independent divisions were ordered to continue to prepare for the siege, and at the same time strictly guard the camp to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, while Gou Jinguang took the third division of the Dragon Soul Legion to meet the enemy in a big way.
With a division of 20,000 people, challenging a legion of 100,000 people on the other side, only the generals of the Dragon Soul Legion would dare to do this. Seeing that the other party only came with such a small number of people, Bu Chengyun felt that he had been insulted, and he couldn't imagine that he would let the other party look down on him so much.
"What an arrogant boy, I'll show you today, the regular army of the Longxiao Empire is not easy to mess with. Bu Chengyun sneered and immediately began to arrange his army.
After being fully equipped with steel equipment, the 13th Legion is also fully equipped, and now they have six heavy wings and four archer wings, and the rest are light infantry wings wearing light steel armor, except for the lack of cavalry, the combat effectiveness can be described as quite good.
On the other hand, Gou Jinguang's Third Division, in addition to the elite to form a guard flag team, they have not changed their outfits for a long time, and now they are still wearing the combined magic refining armor of the year, and there is no change in the various weapon formations, but even if the weapons are equipped today, they are still a few grades higher than the other party.
"Line up. Gou Jinguang gave an order, and the soldiers did not need the deployment of the commander, and they had already begun to line up to meet the enemy according to their usual training. The formation of the 3rd Division was quite orderly, with the 1st Heavy Wing in front forming a three-tiered defensive line, and their spears were united in the outward, erecting a steel jungle.
Two wings of swordsmen lined up on either side to cover the flanks of the heavy wing, while in the protection formed by the three wings were the loose wing of archers, whose task was to strike at the enemy within 400 meters, and the enemy beyond 400 meters was in charge of the heavy weapons wing behind the archer wing, which had twenty field multi-armed catapults and up to fifty hand-pushed ballistas.
The staggered formation of the Third Division was like a hedgehog with spikes outward, and although the number of people was much smaller than that of the opponent, the momentum could completely overwhelm the opponent.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Third Division were so well-trained, they formed a formation in just five minutes, and their own side was still in chaos, Bu Chengyun's face couldn't help but change slightly, he finally knew that the Dragon Soul Legion was definitely not in vain. Although the opponent's formation was neat, Bu Chengyun still felt that his side had a big chance of winning, at least the number of people was five to one. This comparison of numbers may be smoothed out by weapons in the era of hot weapons, but in the era of cold weapons, especially when the battle qi of both sides is about the same, it is difficult to make up for it.
Bu Chengyun gave an order, and the 13th Army Corps also lined up in an attack formation and pressed towards the 3rd Division. Six heavy infantry companies were arranged in the middle, while twenty light infantry companies were lined up, followed by archer troops. The 13th Army Corps was in a similar formation to the 3rd Division, with the only difference being that they were slightly inferior in armament and lacked heavy weapons.
The 13th Army Corps, under the leadership of Bu Chengyun, attacked the 3rd Division with the whole army. In such an empty plain, the field battle is a competition of strength between the two sides, and these two fully equipped armies will soon have a fierce collision.
"Tell me your slogan. Seeing the other party approaching, Gou Jinguang shouted.
"The dragon soul is immortal, the battle is endless, the dragon soul is immortal, the battle is endless. All the soldiers shouted mercilessly, and the hatred of the same enemy in their hearts was slowly sublimating, and their morale was rising.
Startled by the neat slogans of the 3rd Division, the formation of the 13th Corps, which approached a distance of 600 meters, froze, which was the result of the slowing down of the charging soldiers. At this moment, the commander of the heavy equipment wing gave an order, and twenty catapults began to operate almost simultaneously.
Twenty basketball-sized stone projectiles cut through the curved arc and fell into the midst of the charging team. Although the damage caused by twenty stone bullets was not large, it was quite a shocking thing for the regular army of the Dragon Xiao Empire, which had never experienced this method of combat.
However, the Thirteenth Legion was worthy of the regular army of the Empire, and in the slightest confusion, they quickly returned to normal, and it was not long before the warriors were able to ignore the attack and continue to charge. After getting a little closer, the hand-pushed ballistas also began to fire, and in the face of the increasingly dense attack, the soldiers still bravely rushed towards the formation of the third division.
"Rush. The soldier who was running at the front raised his spear and pointed at the 3rd Division, which was in full array. In order to facilitate the charge, the Heavy Wing was not fully armoured, and their defense was less than usual, and many of the joints and unimportant positions that required flexibility were removed from their armor.
Soon the arrows of the wing of the archers covered the infantry running at the front, causing many casualties to the poorly armored hoplites. Soon the archers of the 13th Legion also launched a counterattack, because they used all the standard equipment of the Longxiao Empire, except for the arrows that were slightly inferior, the range was the same as that of the Shouyang Army.
The feather arrows of the two sides immediately launched a confrontation, but the armor of the soldiers of the Thirteenth Legion was thinner, and many of them were injured and died, and the third division was not only very light to use due to the use of fully wrapped magic refining armor, but also had good protection, so although the feather arrows of the thirteenth legion were more dense, the soldiers of the third division were very few injured, and none of them were killed.
