Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sweeping Thousands of Armies
"What are you thinking?" Yi Yiyi asked, very unhappy with the construction of Kong Ming who didn't pay attention to her.
"I was wondering when the Harveys would leave the city and chase after them. Kong Ming replied.
"Hehe, they only have 30,000 regular city defense troops, how can they come over, even more private troops can't solve all their problems. Yi Yiyi replied confidently.
"What would you think if I said that piece of intelligence of yours was a trap?"
"Hmph, that's a nobleman in our empire who has finally been inserted into the Harvey Center, how can he betray us?" Yi Yiyi had a lot of dissatisfaction with Kong Ming just now, and now Kong Ming talked about her on this issue, and a wave of anger suddenly erupted in her heart. It's a pity that she is destined to be disappointed, just when she wants to quarrel with Kong Ming, the secret city opens, and a group of Harvey cavalry rushes out from inside, and after leaving the city, they stop for a thousand meters and form a formation. There was a steady stream of rushing out from behind, and the momentum of these people was like a rainbow. Seeing this situation, Kong Ming rearranged the formation of the snow wolf mercenaries, and placed the two snow wolf demon jockeys in front of them, followed by the mage archers, the infantry division, and finally the cavalry division. The snow wolf mercenaries looked at the Harvey army that came out of the city in a steady stream, with a hint of murderous aura in their eyes, you must know that everyone who comes out of the battlefield has this murderous aura more or less, this murderous aura makes them have some immunity to many things, and also gives them a certain deterrent effect on people who have not killed anyone. Those division commanders had already asked Kong Ming more than a dozen times whether they wanted to attack, but Kong Ming ignored it, knowing that there is a saying in the war book that half of the enemy crosses the river, that is, once the enemy crosses the river, when it reaches half of the enemy's number or is conducive to the attacker's attack, it can attack. And now it's not half-crossed, but it's the same. Kong Ming is waiting, waiting for the enemy's strength to come out, because from the intelligence point of view, the enemy is about 50,000 people, but from the intelligence point of view, there are not many magicians in the enemy, and there are very few archers, most of them are swordsmen, even if they add those noble private armies.
When the enemy came out with more than 40,000, Yi Yiyi's heart had already turned from that shameful and empty face to pig liver, and her teeth rattled: "What's wrong." Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Kong Ming's greeting came quite at an inopportune time, you must know that when she was worried about how to face Kong Ming at this time, Kong Ming was saying such cool words. "What do you say?" said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Really, who knows. Kong Ming said disapprehantly. Kong Ming's emotional intelligence is indeed missing, or because of his childhood experience, Kong Ming is already a little cold about this.
"You!huh!" Yiyi turned her face away. No longer look at the empty and save yourself from being angry.
"How's it going?" asked Kuming again.
"It's nothing to do with you!" Yiyi yelled at Kong Ming. But then she was stunned to find that Kong Ming was talking to the car next to her. Kong Ming turned his face to look at her and asked again, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing!" Yi Yiyi saw that she was wrong and blamed Kong Ming. Said embarrassedly.
"The enemy's regular army has come out. Now those private armies are coming out, and it seems that there are already a third of them. Che Cheng reported.
"Hehe, almost. Ordered all troops to press forward slowly, then the mages and archers were ready to attack directly once they were in range, and the rest of the troops were executed according to Plan One. ”
Carry on with Kong Ming's order. The entire mercenary army began to slowly press forward, and at this time, Kong Ming did not let the infantry sitting on the snow wolf come down, for Kong Ming. In this way, a large number of cavalry can be directly taught on the spot, so why not, and two people riding a snow wolf, there is also an advantage, once the initial discomfort is passed, then this peculiar class of troops must be able to show great power, although this is only a temporary measure.
The two sides slowly approached, and the Harvey Army saw the Snow Wolf mercenaries approaching them, and began to move their team towards the Snow Wolf Mercenaries. The snow wolf mercenaries slowly began to speed up, because as a cavalry, impact is the most important thing to measure the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, Harvey's cavalry also accelerated, and soon the two sides were closer, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters, and suddenly, a large number of magic fluctuations rose from the snow wolf mercenaries, and countless bows and arrows were shot from the snow wolf mercenaries, both of which fell into Harvey's rear riding camp. In terms of cooperation, this Harvey army must be a little slower than the snow wolf mercenaries who have already fought a few times, and as an army that has been in the line, if it is slow, it will mean that it will lose a lot of things, and this is also the reason why Kong Ming let the snow wolf mercenaries take the lead, even if it is for this to lose some effectiveness, it doesn't matter, the enemy's losses are enough to make up for this gap. I saw Harvey's cavalry fall one after another, even if there are some people who are more powerful in the great swordsman, they can withstand the next wave of this kind of attack, but the war horse can't withstand this kind of large-scale magic attack, almost instantly, the cavalry of the Harvey army lost one-third, and the cavalry behind saw this situation and immediately pulled the horse up urgently, so that the horse did not run forward into the area of the magic attack. And at this time, the front can stop and the back can stop? have impacted the cavalry in front, the team instantly became chaotic, for the battle formation type of attack, the most fatal point is that when attacking, the formation is suddenly chaotic, this time not only let the commander's command can not be implemented below, and the following will also cause each other to trample on the scene because of chaos, that is, their own people trample to death, at this time, once the enemy's attack comes, then it will be very dangerous. This is especially true of those who are too wide in columns. At this time, there were also some sparse magic and bows and arrows in the Harvey army that shot into the snow wolf mercenary formation, and some cavalry fell after being hit by arrows, which also made the formation of the snow wolf mercenaries a little chaotic, but it was not a problem compared to Harvey, and soon returned to the usual formation when impacting, this is a skill that an army must master, only in this way can the impact force not be consumed. When the snow wolf rushed to a distance of only twenty meters from the Harvey army, most of the front of the Harvey army had already fallen, and only a few strong swordsmen were still standing there, holding their swords to face the impact of the snow wolf. This time. All the snow wolves spewed out a wind blade one after another, rushing towards the rest of Harvey, Harvey's great swordsman made a posture of preparing to attack, but to their surprise, those demon cavalry did not pay attention to them, but the snow wolf swept over their heads or the side, seeing this situation, some of these great swordsmen did not know what to do, but they soon found that the mercenaries did not let them go, but let the people of the same level deal with them. and their men shall go forward with their slaughter. Soon, several great swordsmen riding snow wolves rushed over, and the three surrounded one, without the slightest one-on-one awareness. And the snow wolf in front of him suddenly rushed directly into the frightened Harvey people after the snow wolf's two wind blades. The difference between a team that has been fought and a team that has not been fought is how they react when dealing with the situation, if it is a team that has been fought. At this time, I knew that no matter what I wanted, I should not think about anything, only fight, and then talk about other things after blocking the first attack. But if it's a team that hasn't been through a battle. There will be many situations, some people in front of them watch the enemy move their knives at themselves, and want to draw their long swords, but they find that they can't pull it out, and they can't do it at this time, and there are many excuses. There are countless excuses for the long sword to be worn too backward, and some the long sword is too old, but in any case, there is only a chance to change it after this battle, otherwise it will never need to be changed again. And in a battle, more than 80 percent of the recruits are gone, especially like Harvey's army today. Although they also experienced some bloodshed, it was the first time they had encountered such a scene, so the cavalry in front stepped over at once. The people in the back were moving forward, and the people in front wanted to go back, and the two sides were directly leaning together. This situation directly blocked the advance road in the rear, and also blocked the retreat road in front, in this case, the command is difficult to reach, only to wave his arms. But obviously the city lord is not this kind of talent, when he saw his own team being attacked and suffering heavy losses all of a sudden, he was dumbfounded, this is not the same as the scene he imagined that he was forcibly wiped out between waves, but a kind of bloody storm, including the Harvey army, there are also mercenary troops, but no matter who it is, this is not insignificant, the main thing is that the Harvey army is now at a disadvantage.
"Attack, attack!" Harvey's city lord kept shouting, and kept waving his arms, but obviously, he did not command the army at this time, because the front was already fighting together, and the people in the rear could not know the specific situation ahead because the cavalry in front blocked the view, after hearing the city lord's order, they also kept moving forward, only forward, nothing else, other commanders, seeing the city lord's situation, did not know what to do. In the army, there is often this kind of phenomenon, these are because the superiors are too authoritarian and cause the people below to give up the way of thinking from a certain process, and also lose the qualification as a qualified commander, because a commander who is not responsible cannot obtain the recognition of the soldiers, this situation in ordinary days, because there is the whole army as the background, so there will not be much problem, but once there is a problem with the reliance of this army, then maybe the first villain will emerge from such an army, which has nothing to do with anything else, but because of the commander's self-abandonment, the soldiers also gave up on him。
The magic cavalry of the snow wolf mercenaries is arranged in five rows, one sortie to confront the Harvey army head-on, one to attack the enemy's flank from the left side, and the other to attack the flank of the Harvey army from the right side, while the magicians and archers follow around the Chinese army, constantly attacking the depth of the Harvey army with magic and arrows, so that the Harvey army cannot form a continuous attack posture, and also indirectly reduces the frontal pressure of the demon cavalry. On the other hand, the Harvey Army, because there was no one in the dispatch, the magicians in the array only released two or three magics, so they directly let the magic of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army cover all this area, and later there was even such a thing that there was no one around the magician, and at this time, the magician with no one to cover directly became the target of the archers.
In the middle of the battlefield, the sky was dark, the sound of killing was everywhere, the smoke and dust covered the sun, the sword light and sword shadows flew everywhere, and the magic fluctuations shone and blurred. an hour. Soon passed, because the Snow Wolf Mercenary's Demon Cavalry adopted the method of attacking in turns, so that the Demon Cavalry always maintained its body, and the power of the magic scroll ensured the continuity of the magic attack, which caused the Harvey Army to suffer heavy losses, and later, it finally began to collapse under the attack of this situation. A large number of Harvey troops and private troops began to flee backwards, starting with one or two, and later fleeing in droves to the secret city, and they were already disqualified from the first battle. Kong Ming didn't let the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army press on those Harvey Army. Instead, they continued to attack from behind and on both sides, and at this time, the Harvey Army was like a group of sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army was directly the group of hungry wolves, and began to rush into the Harvey Army, constantly shouting "Surrender or kill!!" while fighting, the power of this sentence is endless, you must know that the only reason for the enemy to desperately resist is to die in battle. And now it gives them a reason to survive the defeat, and there is no threat to their lives. They will lose their fighting spirit. What's more, at this time, I don't know who shouted, "The city lord is dead, the city lord was killed by us!!" This sentence quickly spread throughout the battlefield, making all the mercenaries very excited, and also making the morale of all Harvey soldiers drop to the freezing point. And this sentence directly made the city lord himself unable to resist. You must know that he is also mixed in the crowd now, if he says that he is the city lord, then he will undoubtedly attract the firepower of the snow wolf mercenary to his body, so now he is also in a dilemma. It's not to say, it's not to say it, so just don't say it. However, sometimes the rumor is like this, it does not need to be certified, and it cannot be verified, but its effect is amazing, especially for those who are in the midst of disappointment. Just like the word surrender or not killing, whether to kill or not to kill, the decision at the moment of capture is not in your own hands, but for these people who are threatening their lives, whether it is true or not, he himself is a hope for people in despair.
The Harvey army was defeated, completely defeated by the mercenary army in a battle between more than 50,000 men against 50,000 men. All the Harvey troops in the rear rushed to the city, while the mercenary army followed, killing or capturing those Harvey who fell behind. At this time, the despair of the Harvey people appeared, and before the city lord entered the secret city, the officers inside closed the gate of the secret city for fear that the mercenary army would seize the secret city, and even the magic cover was opened. And those poor Harvey soldiers can only keep cursing the officers above under the city, and among the people who scold, it is the city lord who screams the most, because he is only two minutes late, so he keeps those people outside, of course, not far behind him, is the magic cavalry of the snow wolf mercenaries.
"Can you take the Secret City now?" asked Yiyiyi.
"Stupid words. Kong Ming said. "Most of the magicians in the city have come out to participate in the battle, and now there are only a few magicians in charge of the magic array, under normal circumstances, they can only ensure the luck of the magic array, but they can't keep it for too long, this is just a question, plus now the main force of the Harvey army has been annihilated, and the private army is almost dead, what do the people in the city do to fight with us, wait a while, I will go to the city lord's mansion to invite you to tea." ”
"What if I can't get in?"
"Hehe, look!" Kong Ming pointed in the direction of the city, only to see that another battle had started, and the magic array was destroyed in the first place.
Half an hour later, in the City Lord's Mansion, Kong Ming and Yi Yiyi were drinking tea and resting. Yi Yiyi looked left and right, and found that there was no one else except her personal maid, so she asked, "How do you know so much about the situation in the secret city, do you really have the ability to predict the future?"
"I'm not a prophet, how can I have this ability?" Kong Ming asked rhetorically.
"And how do you know so much about the situation in the city, and know that my spy has surrendered to the Harvey?"
"Hehe, you didn't think about these two things well together from the beginning, so it felt incredible, but once you put it bluntly, it was really worthless. ”
"How?"
"As for the understanding of the situation in the city, someone must have reported to us, otherwise how would I know the situation in the city? It's just that they came relatively late, so they don't know much, but at the critical moment, they used magic communication to tell me that the city has gathered a large army, ready to leave the city at any time, and there are a lot of people, and this is enough. That way, I know that someone must have leaked out the news of our arrival, and it shouldn't be someone from us. Then it's only you, because you've asked the people you have arranged for in the city, so they know we're coming here. ”
"Then how do you know he's defected?" asked Yiyiyi curiously.
"This is actually not mysterious, because the Harvey Empire itself is very strict in monitoring people, and almost every person's origin and experience are recorded in detail. Not to mention that I had sent someone into here earlier. Kong Ming sighed.
"What do you have to sigh about?"
"Military intelligence first, miss, if we don't have accurate intelligence, even if we win this battle, we will pay a great price. (To be continued......)
