Chapter 148: Provocation from the Bandits
Itching, not an unforgettable itch, but the feeling that you don't care about him, but he has been annoying you, the more you scratch, the more you want to scratch, the more you scratch, the more you want to scratch, it seems to be contagious, how these trotting gods gradually stopped, they put their hands into their clothes or on their bare skin, scratching, scratching, as if they couldn't stop for a moment.
"It's so itchy, how can it be so itchy!" one of the thieves threw away his weapon and sat on the ground, scratching at his body without stopping.
A serious-looking middle-aged man wearing a shabby standard soldier uniform of the Kingdom of Mali trembled as if he had ADHD, but when he looked closely, he was tickling: "Damn, pastor, come pastor, quickly perform a purification spell on me, I must have been poisoned." ”
"What are you dreaming about! Where did the priest come from? We're bandits, huh. An intact bandit looked at the group of tickling companions in front of him and mocked unexpectedly.
At this moment, the crowd of onlookers in the distance was separated by a gap, only to see several premieres coming together, seeing the bandit sitting on the ground, the deputy alliance leader baron envoy scolded loudly: "What's going on? Why stop, don't you all want the magic weapon of Flame City?"
Hearing the words of the deputy alliance leader, these people who were tickling were extremely excited, but the endless itching made them unable to do anything.
"Lord Alliance, we have fallen for the calculations of Flame City, and we are itching all over our bodies, we can't help it!" a leader who was rolling on the ground and tickling explained as he endured the discomfort on his body.
In this way, the baron's messenger began to understand the information, and after half a ring, the baron's messenger found that all the people who tickled were the ones who set fire to the mountain.
This understanding of the situation made the face of the deputy alliance leader look ugly, so they were busy for a long time, not only did they not hurt the enemy, but they lost a lot of people.
"Report, Lord Alliance, there is an enemy attacking. A herald rushed to his knees in front of the baron's messenger in a panic.
The baron's envoy looked up, and sure enough, the dust was flying in the distance, and the birds and beasts were flying in shock, which was obviously the rhythm of the attack of the large group of men and horses.
The baron's face changed, and he immediately ordered: "Those who are okay bypass them and defend themselves." ”
Several leaders who came to follow the baron's envoy admired the baron's envoy much less than before, but now the situation is urgent, if you still engage in internal carrying at this time, it is the way to die, and reluctantly give orders to your subordinates, bypassing this group of bandits who are tickling, and arranging a defensive formation in front.
The Flame Province is a zone with changeable terrain, mountains, rivers, plains, grasslands, forests, and wetlands, and there are a lot of them, and the Ladder Mountain is one of the few important places leading to the direction of the Flame City.
Originally, according to Mo Xuan's idea, he defended in situ and waited for the bandits to attack, but he didn't expect the bandits to stop halfway through, and after receiving the scout's report on the bandits' abnormal situation, Mo Xuan understood that the fighter was coming, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack.
Standing at a distance of five thousand meters from the bandits, Mo Xuan was not in a hurry to fight the bandits, but cast spells with several great magicians such as Ge Qi to reveal the situation of the bandits through the power of magic.
In the magical image, the bandits wait for the Flame City army to attack in a reasonably visible circle, and in the center of the circle is a group of bandits tickling on the ground.
The round formation is a very ordinary formation, and it is also a most used formation, which is usually used to defend when there are fewer enemies and more enemies, and the choice of the bandits cannot be said to be really good, after all, there are still their companions to guard in the center of the circle array.
But for Mo Xuan, who had been observing for a long time, this choice was simply looking for death, because Mo Xuan had discovered a fatal weakness of the bandits.
Archers, or long-range strike power, are not enough.
For the bandits, the robbery is mostly based on melee, and their weapon selection is also conducive to melee, with small shields, short swords, axes, hammers, etc. all close contact weapons.
One of the reasons why humans have been able to defeat all kinds of beasts and stand out from low-level battles and become one of the largest races in the world is the use of weapons.
Is there any difference between a human stabbing a beast with a spear and a beast biting a human? The answer is that the gap is not big, or the beast's claws and teeth are sharper, so why can humans compete with wild beasts after using weapons, the reason is that in terms of distance, a spear two meters long can make human attacks longer to the point of making wild beasts desperate, because they can be killed by humans before the beasts attack humans.
The appearance of weapons such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds only allows humans to compete with beasts to obtain a living environment, and the emergence of long-range attack weapons is a necessary condition for humans to truly surpass beasts.
And now Mo Xuan wants to use the long-range attack power of Flame City to strike at the enemy.
Lined up in a neat formation, the team of Flame City slowly approached the circle formation of the Bandit Alliance.
Four thousand meters, three thousand meters, two kilometers, one thousand meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, and suddenly when the Flame City army reached the three hundred meters, they stopped.
"Come on, rabbit cub, come to Daddy, Daddy will let you taste what it's like to have a hammer in Daddy's hand?"
"Oh, cute little beauties, come to me, I will take good care of you. ”
"Ah, Billy, they're not little beauties, they're big beauties. ”
"Oh, the coward, come closer, and let me teach you how to use weapons. ”
"Their guts are as slender as Billy's nakedness. ”
"Oh, oh. ”
"Hahahahaha・・・・・・. ”
As the footsteps of the Flame City army stopped, the bandits blurted out all kinds of insults, and at this moment the bandits' self-confidence was extremely inflated, and it seemed that the army of Flame City was not too terrifying, but their team was more neat.
With the insults of the bandits, a glimmer of anger flashed in the eyes of the hoplites, these barbarian warriors from the plateau are all tyrannical men, making friends with their fists, settling disputes with their fists is the truth they believe in, if it were not for the strict military discipline to restrain them, they would have used the weapons in their hands to charge and use the blood of the bandits to wash away the insults brought to them by the bandits.
