Chapter 117: Hill Ambush
The area of the Holy Land of Dawn is not large, and it is no different from the size of Huasongjiang City.
Minato, as one of the commanders of the temple army, was marching forward with his army of 5,000 men.
This time, the temple sent an army of 100,000 men into the headquarters of the Dark Sanctuary to besiege the depraved creatures here.
In this small place as the Holy Land, 100,000 people is already a rather terrifying number.
Minato couldn't help but feel a little excited as he looked at the vast group of lightly armed troops, if the passage into the Dark Sanctuary allowed, it would definitely not be their lightly armed army who came here, but the warships in space.
Even if they entered the headquarters of the Dark Sanctuary, the temple's army would not be able to carry much heavy equipment.
Of Minato's 5,000 men, only 300 were high-ranking Templars, 2,000 were Templars, and the rest were all knights.
Along the way, Minato killed all the people of the Dark Templars, whether they were civilians living here or warriors of the Dark Templars.
In front of the temple armies such as Minato, these guys are all underworld forces that do not obey Minaya's rule.
"Mistress Minato, a group of Dark Templars have been spotted under the hill ahead!"
Minato's pull on the reins of his horse, halting the army's advance, silently looking at the group of Templars under the hill ahead, muttered, "Hundreds?" Hundreds of people want to stop this army of the temple, ridiculous. ”
However, there is no way, the total strength of the Dark Sanctuary in the Holy Land is only less than 30,000, and it is indeed a bit troublesome to deal with Minaya's 100,000 people.
However, in the face of Minaya's 5,000 people, the Dark Sanctuary on the opposite side, which was less than a thousand people, did not seem to be timid, and pressed their hands tightly on the elemental cannon on their wrists, staring at Minato's army.
Minaya's strength lies in his psionic ability and warships, and when it comes to individual weaponry and tactical thinking, it is quite backward.
The mix of "cold weapons" and "hot weapons" has led to the ground tactics of both Minaya and the Dark Sanctuary remaining before World War I.
The Minaya's individual weapons are worn on the wrist, which is divided into ranged elemental cannons and melee light knives.
The elemental cannon can directly extract the elements in its own body and use them as projectiles to launch them to attack the opponent.
And the same is true of the light knife, with its own elements, it promotes the emergence of various colors of light knives, and the power of the light knife is not weak.
The Minayans also admired hand-to-hand combat, so much so that the Light Knife was not eliminated.
The resulting ground tactics were also puzzling to Yuller, almost equivalent to those of the Civil War and World War I.
In addition to the infantry brandishing their bare knives to launch a line charge, you can also see the infantry charge in the early stage of the development of skirmisher tactics.
Seeing that there were only a few hundred people on the other side, Minato shouted, "Hurry forward and get into range to engage in battle!" ”
"Yes!"
The Templar's army began to advance towards the forces of the Dark Sanctuary, and the Dark Sanctuary did not admit it, and followed suit.
The distance between the two sides quickly shortened to the range of fire, and the three of them on the side of the Dark Sanctuary were scattered as a group, quickly pulling away the stragglers.
Immediately after raising the elemental cannon in his hand, he "whirred" and launched the colorful elements.
Fireballs, ice picks, arcs, stone cones, and earth cones flew in all directions, and Minato shouted, "Attack!" Offensive! ”
Fighting broke out between the two sides, making it nearly impossible for a few hundred men to resist the advance of the 5,000-strong army, and after a brief encounter, the Templars lost nearly half of their combat strength, and the commander immediately chose to retreat.
Seeing the remaining more than 400 people get up and turn around and run towards the hill, Minato looked at it and sneered: "Want to run? It's not that easy! First Team! Pursue! ”
With a wave of his hand, 1,000 people rode the beast and chased after him.
The direction of the Dark Sanctuary's escape is a hill, and it will definitely take a lot of time to climb up, and the Dark Sanctuary is not like its own side, which is dominated by cavalry, and in terms of speed, the Dark Sanctuary is naturally a little inferior.
Minato believed that the cavalry of the first team would be able to kill them all on the back of the hill.
Minato, riding on the beast, stood still, quietly watching the first team that caught up, waiting for the good news.
What he didn't know, however, was that when the knights of the first team crossed the hill and came to the back of the hill, they found that there were only more than 400 people there.
On the back side of the hill is a troop of 2,000 Dark Templars made up of the ghost warriors of Yuller.
The 400 people who fled immediately fell to the ground.
As soon as You Lile saw that the enemy had entered the ambush circle, he hurriedly ordered: "Fire!" ”
The elemental cannons in the hands of the 2,000 Dark Templars immediately rang out, and the dense projectiles beckoned directly towards the 1,000-strong cavalry of the Temple army.
And the heavy Gauss guns mimicked in the hands of Yu Lile and other ghost warriors were also set up, and they spit out the nail bullets "zizizi", and in an instant, the muzzle arc flashed.
As soon as they crossed the hill, the swooping Minaya knights were able to hold their step, and in the blink of an eye, they were harvested by the Dark Templars who were lying in ambush at the back of the hill.
In less than a few minutes, a thousand people had gone to seven or eight, and those who survived were the knights who rushed to the rear, and they turned their heads one after another, and turned in panic to the front of the hill.
Yu Lile looked at the micro-drones suspended on this battlefield, looked at the thousands of people in front of the opposite hill, and shouted in pure Minaya: "Everyone! Listen to me! Advance! Minaya is only 4,000 people! Let's kill them! ”
The victory in the ambush battle greatly boosted the morale of the Dark Templars, and they even shouted, "Roar! ”
At the front of the hill, Minato listened to the neat chanting at the back of the hill, and he didn't think that this was the result of the thousand-man cavalry he had sent out.
The voice was neat and imposing, and Minato's face sank: "Dark Sanctuary." ”
After a few seconds, he saw a group of Minaya knights appear at the top of the hill, all of them embarrassed, throwing away their armor, and turning back in a hurry.
Needless to say, it must have been attacked by the Dark Sanctuary, and there were only a few of the 1,000 knights left.
Minato shouted: "Everyone, get ready to fight!" ”
In a matter of moments, thousands of Dark Templars were seen standing at the top of the hill, condescendingly looking down at the Minaya Templar Army below.
And in the midst of this group of Dark Templars, there are also 22 guys in strange armor standing.
This armor is not Noah's, nor Saiyah's, nor Minaya's.
No need, this must be an earthling.
Even if there are earthlings to help the Dark Sanctuary, there are many people on his side, Minato immediately commanded: "All charge!" ”
Yu Lile smiled: "Minayans really like to launch brainless charges, and in their eyes, melee combat is the most romantic thing. ”
Nearly half of the high-level Templars' combat power will choose to fight the enemy in close quarters in battle.
Yu Lile followed the command: "Everyone stick to the hill and aim at the enemy to fire elemental cannons!" ”
"As for those high-level Templars, leave it to us to deal with!"
