Chapter 380: Head to head
The 10,000 rows of crossbowmen of the Heavenly Blade stood in six rows in the rear, and began to slowly suppress forward as the commander gave the order.
In front of the platoon of crossbowmen, there was a thick ten-meter mixed force of rangers and warriors, which did not charge forward, but slowly pressed forward with the same speed.
If you think that the Blade is only doing this to take advantage of the crossbowmen's hand length advantage, then you are very wrong.
The real use of the platoon crossbowmen is from the psychological offensive, forcibly turning the attacking side into the defending side!
Everyone knows that in a siege battle, the ratio of battle losses to the defending side is lower than that of the besieging side, because you have a flaw in the charge.
As long as the defenders of the city desperately resist the frontal attack, then these people who rushed out of the battle formation will lose the assistance of the rear and will be eaten away sooner or later.
The platoon of crossbowmen constantly harassed the battlefield with a long attack distance, while the rest of the troops cowered near the platoon. It is clear that it intends to slowly encroach on the troops of the Avengers.
Regardless of whether this question is realistic or not, it is clear that the Avengers are in a difficult situation at the moment.
If the platoon of crossbowmen is allowed to move forward and keep suppressing, then sooner or later the reunion will be irreversible.
This trick is exactly the bottom draw proposed by Guan Fengyue!
Gan Fengrin quickly understood that this was to force him to take the initiative to attack!
If his side chooses to take the initiative to attack, the opposite side will inevitably suffer heavy losses under the care of leisure.
But if you don't take the initiative to attack, you will not only lose troops, but also lose strategic depth!
He gritted his teeth and said to the big drunken shrimp: "Since they have lifted the hole cards, we can't bear it anymore." Let's go! ”
The big drunken shrimp received the order and frowned, but still gave a new transfer order.
The tower shield corresponding to the platoon crossbow is naturally only equipped by the ranger class, but the tower shield soldier moves very slowly.
If you stick to it, it is naturally indestructible, but if you expect the tower shield soldiers to charge, it is unrealistic.
The tower shield soldiers on the side of the Avengers are naturally in the front row, but their density is a little sparse.
From behind the Tower Shields, new classes have infiltrated in a matter of minutes from their appearance to their rapid assembly.
A few minutes is certainly not enough time to assemble a force, but it is enough to assemble the number of men needed for a charge.
The first wave of men and horses had already begun to charge when they came out of the shelter of the tower shield soldiers, and since the opposite side forced them to charge, it was naturally the most suitable type of troops to deploy the charge.
The men and horses gathered here on the side of the Avengers are also special troops, and in addition to the bright iron armor, each of them is armed with two spears.
A single eight inches is a spear for eight zhang. A four-foot-two-inch long handle is a wind-breaking javelin!
When these people charged to about twenty or thirty meters away from the other party, they threw the wind-breaking javelin in their right hand fiercely with the momentum of rushing forward!
As a long-range attack, the javelin's killing distance is only between 20 and 30 meters. The specific attack range and attack damage are determined based on the thrower's strength attributes.
The only class of troops that can carry out this special mission is the soldiers.
The lethality of a javelin is much higher than that of a crossbow arrow. The point is that the spearmen who have already crossed the platoon of crossbowmen can throw javelins to their hearts and minds to destroy the opposing lineup.
After throwing the rows of windbreaker javelins, the rows of crossbowmen in the target area are instantly killed. The pressure of the crossbow from the Heavenly Blade dropped sharply, and the drunken shrimp immediately ordered to speed up the charge!
The warriors who threw the javelins clenched their left spears with both hands, shouted angrily and continued to charge!
Although there are not many tower shield soldiers in the front row on the side of the Sky Blade, it is enough to withstand the impact of the opponent.
The front rows of the two sides collided in one place again, and the pikemen, who had the advantage of attack distance, broke through the defense line of the Sky Blade by as much as three meters in an instant.
This time it was clear that the Avengers had the upper hand.
The Heavenly Blade did not transfer other troops, but surrounded the three sides and launched a complete white-knuckle battle with the other party.
The Avengers achieved the goal of cracking the platoon of crossbowmen, and the Heavenly Blade side also achieved the purpose of forcing the opponent to charge.
The rest depends on the hard power of the two sides!
The core of a large-scale war will always be the logistical forces of two or even more parties.
Not to mention the advanced equipment possessed by both sides, the consumption of this ordinary item alone is an astronomical amount.
Why didn't the Avengers crack the platoon crossbowmen in the first place, is it really because they don't have a plan for this class? No matter how confused Gan Fengrin is, it is impossible to make such a mistake.
Gan Fengrin just didn't expect the other party to have so many crossbows and arrows!
It doesn't matter if you calculate its productivity, or use spy intelligence. Gan Fengrin calculated a maximum of 5,000 crossbowmen for the Heavenly Blade!
The threat of five thousand platoons of crossbowmen is not so terrible.
Now the Blade can swing out 10,000 rows of crossbowmen. If it weren't for the fact that his intelligence system was too wasteful, it would only mean that the Heavenly Blade had received secret assistance. It's not just about crossbows, it's about arrows!
The platoon of crossbowmen advancing in the form of hob meat requires an average of 10,000 arrows per meter of advancement, and the advance of this distance alone costs almost a million arrows!
Not to mention the cost of these arrows, the Heavenly Blade's reserve of crossbow arrows before the war was not as large as one million at all. What's more, the platoon of crossbowmen was still firing at the moment before they were pushed down.
In addition to those little brothers, Gan Fengrin could have a hunch that the Heavenly Blade had received more secret support.
Fortunately, I have temporarily purchased a large number of supplies from several well-connected guilds, so at least I don't have to worry about armaments.
That wind-breaking javelin is the backhand that the Heavenly Blade didn't even expect!
With this hand, even if it was forced to turn to the attacking side, the Avengers did not suffer any loss in the battle loss ratio.
After being completely mixed together, the two sides are fighting for temporary dispatch on the battlefield.
On the side of the Sky Blade is a tripartite alliance, advancing in arrow mode. The Avengers, on the other hand, faced the enemy with a zigzag lineup.
The spearmen with a long range of attacks stabbed forward steadily after the collision, and behind them were in a short formation.
These short-fight formations are dominated by Assassins and Melee Rangers, with the more capable Assassin classes being able to retreat and shrink behind the Lancers after the burst has passed.
Relying on the defense ability of the spearman, after relieving the skill CD, the next round of impact begins. It's really like a jagged tooth on the battlefield.
There is no chance for the Heavenly Blade side to come back, no matter how they dispatch the army, they will be quickly adjusted by the people on the side of the Avengers. The Avengers, who were forced to switch from defense to offense, were in a slight advantage in the battle loss ratio!
At least in terms of hand-to-hand tactics, the Heavenly Blade suffered a small loss. This was not thought of by the three military divisions. It also proves that the handsome of the top guilds is definitely not a straw bag.
There was no way to let go of the first battle and fight with the Avengers.
