Chapter 45: Return to the Horse Pistol
"Their judgment is that many people have already left the teleportation array, so the magic fluctuations are quite violent. Che replied.
"That's not what I want, ask that intelligence analysis magician to come over for a while, I want to confirm something. After Kong Ming finished speaking, he looked straight at Wencheng's position, since he had an unexpected battle with Alexander, Kong Ming really couldn't care less about the magic teleportation array, this kind of super war cheat, especially as a space magician, he knew more about it, and because of this, Kong Ming did not rush to attack a city that did not know the details, if there was no teleportation array, Kong Ming might have ordered an attack before he got there. A few minutes later, a magician followed the car in.
"Commander, he's coming. ”
"Sit!" Kong Ming said directly without looking up, and the staff officer on the side took a simple stool and placed it next to the magician, and asked him to sit down.
"I think you've finished reporting the information you've analyzed, and now I'm asking you to come over to give me a clear answer, if we set off to attack Wencheng now, how many enemies can support Wencheng from the magic teleportation array?"
"The magic circle has just been used, but they can still get the support of many people from the magic circle if they need to. Based on the power of a big city's magic array, it can teleport about 16 people per minute, which means that if we are discovered by the enemy from here, then when we get there, the people they just left should be able to come back. The magician replied.
"I remember there's a maintenance period for the magic circle, don't I?"
"Yes, there is a maintenance period, but now that we are at war, I don't think they will put a magic circle in a maintenance period at this time. The magician replied.
"Hmm. Thank you!" Kong Ming raised his head and looked over, this was a space magician in his thirties, thinking that he had not rested for a long time like Kong Ming, and there was still a trace of tiredness in his eyes.
"If we use magic interference, can we restrain their magic array?" Kong Ming asked.
"Your Excellency Commander, you are also a space magister, do you still have to ask me such a question?" The mage was a little dissatisfied, and at this time he finally reacted, it turned out that Kong Ming was still a mage, but everyone usually ignored this layer.
"Huh. Because I'm a magister, I have a clear idea of how much magic I know, and I need your help, my friend. Kong Ming shook his head and said.
"If you interfere with magic, it depends on where the interference is coming from, if it's from our direction. They could still teleport into Wencheng from other directions, but if they interfered near Wencheng. Then they can't teleport from any direction. Other words. If there is enough distance, they will not be able to use the teleportation array. The magician said.
"What's the distance?"
"In the case of the magicians in our current mercenary division, it is enough to let them be within three kilometers of the magic array. ”
"Well, the next order, and then all the division commanders will come and assemble. Wipe out all the eyes and ears of nearby enemies at once. ”
"Yes!"
Ten minutes later, all the division commanders came to Kongming's tent. And all the mercenaries are moving.
"The magician arranged for ten magicians above the space magician to take the aerial magic horse, and after our team set off, they immediately flew close enough to Wencheng. Hide it and interfere with their magic teleportation array, this time must be grasped well, as long as their magic teleportation array starts to be used about three times, it will be interfered with immediately, and don't startle the snake before that. And make sure that no one of them enters the city through the teleportation array during the entire battle. The rest of the divisions immediately maneuvered towards Wencheng in their present formation, and began to advance in advance, and the time of the attack was one o'clock in the morning. Remember not to alarm the enemy too early. Car License. After Kong Ming arranged, he looked at the car, and the two of them had been working together for a long time, of course they knew what Kong Ming wanted?
"We've completely cleared the eyes and ears, and they're just next to them, just an order. ”
"Let's go!"
In the early morning, at 0:45, all the mercenary troops have entered the offensive position, which is less than a kilometer away from Wencheng, and the night gives the mercenaries the best cover, because the snow wolf mercenaries have done a good job of secrecy, there has been no reaction from Wencheng until now, and there are still many patrols on the city, and the magic array of the city wall has not been opened, and the peace before the war.
The magic array of a city, if opened, is an excellent means of protection when there are enough resources, and it is not opened, but if it is not opened, it may be just an ornament, and a third-level magic can easily destroy the entire magic array, which is also an important reason why many people are very opposed to the construction of a magic array at a high cost. And now, Wencheng is undefended for the mercenary army.
"Are all the magicians of the Destruction Magic Array in place?" Kong Ming glanced at the car next to him.
"It's all in place, as long as there is an order from here, that side can completely destroy the city wall of about a kilometer, and ensure that the demon cavalry in the rear rushes into Wencheng. ”
Fifteen minutes, ten minutes, five minutes, three minutes, one minute, punctuality.
"Attack!" Kong Ming's order, I saw that the preface was close to the city wall of Wencheng, more than ten huge magic fell from the sky or rose from the ground, all kinds of huge magic attacks, such as meteorites falling from the sky, huge meteorites falling from the sky, constantly smashing the high city wall, so that the soldiers above did not have time to react before they died and injured a lot, and the gaps in the city wall continued to appear, many of the formations on the magic array were smashed, each magic array is a whole, and as a city, the magic array is composed of many magic arrays, it requires that the part does not affect the whole, that is to say, the damage of those small magic arrays will not make the magic array of the entire city collapse, but to damage the magic arrays based on the damaged magic arrays, like a wolf, after one of its claws is cut off. It doesn't affect the performance of other parts of its functions, but its claws can no longer be used, and the same is true of the city's magic array, those damaged places and the medium magic array divided into this part can no longer be used. A storm is a lot of heavy rain formed by magic that falls from the sky, and these raindrops drop no matter where they drop, just like sharp arrows piercing there, so that holes continue to appear in the place where they are hit, and such holes are still expanding, in an instant. It became a big hole, and the swordsman within this attack range could only use the fighting qi cover to support it, and he was directly penetrated by the magic at a moment's length, and even if he had enough fighting energy, he could only spend it in the support. The magic of the ground thorns is that huge ground thorns continue to appear from the root of the city wall, and destroy the city wall directly from the root, and this kind of magic will be much less powerful against people. Because as long as you are a swordsman, you can survive the attack of this magic by constantly jumping. But its devastating effect on architecture is enormous. Eighty percent of the fall of the walls was due to the attack of this magic. After the magic, a whole kilometer of the city wall turned into a small high ground, and under the colorful magic effect, Wencheng instantly became an undefended place in the direction of Kong Ming, and at the same time, a wave of spatial magic came from behind Kong Ming. The interference of space magic was also activated in an instant. At this time, in Kong Ming's eyes, there was nothing ahead that could stop the pace of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army.
Subsequently, the snow wolf mercenaries continued to rush out of the hidden places. Rushed straight towards Wencheng, a city that had no frontal defense. Seeing this scene, the Harvey soldiers on this side were stupid, they didn't expect the snow wolf mercenaries to attack them in such a way, many Harvey soldiers saw the snow wolf mercenary army leave during the day, the tense nerves of the past few days can finally relax, and some officers even went to the entertainment venues in the city to relax, many people have left their posts, at this time the snow wolf mercenary army attacked, where did they have time to organize resistance? Officers can't find soldiers, soldiers can't find officers, in a team, those low-level officers can command their own subordinates, but they can't command those officers who are at the same level as them, so many Harvey troops are paralyzed in this way, and those who are not paralyzed Harvey troops begin to organize the earliest resistance. The battle also began in an instant, on the entire side facing the snow wolf mercenaries.
Perhaps because of the experience of the previous times, when these mercenaries attacked the Harvey soldiers in the city, they were no longer the same as before, some were fighting and some were watching, they began to form some formations in a squad by squad, a formation formed by the mercenaries in every urban battle. Three swordsmen attack in front, and the distance between the three people is one to one and a half bodies, and this distance is convenient for the two swordsmen behind to send out the fighting slash from there, and after the two people send out the fighting slash, quickly switch positions with the two people further behind, so that they can continue to attack in the form of a fighting slash, once a certain distance in front of them is killed, three people will quickly come up behind to take over the role of the three people in front as shields, and so on, and the people in the other classes further back, take out the bow and arrow from the space ring, and shoot to the enemy's depth in the form of a curved attack, so as to achieve attack bonus,And it won't waste a tactic of idle personnel behind,Usually at this time,Kong Ming will also temporarily assign the magician to each team in the form of a team,Make full use of the effect of the magician's face attack,Only in this way,Only in this way,In order to maximize the overall attack power,Instead of letting the mercenaries in front of you die of exhaustion and the mercenaries in the back die of idleness。 It can be said that this is a tactic that those mercenaries who are fighting on the front line have constantly summed up, which shows that Chuangzào is often on the front line, not in the high-level.
Maybe it's because in the city in front, the nobles are the inevitable purge after every place, maybe it's because these people have given death orders, or maybe there are some other reasons, in this battle, the city defense army of Wencheng is unusually strong, so that the progress of the war in front is almost not very large, which makes Kong Ming have some abnormal mood after seeing this situation in the back.
"What the hell is going on?" said Kumei.
"Yes, this situation has rarely been encountered before, in the past, as long as we defeated all the enemy's front line, we could go straight to the center of the enemy, why would those soldiers resist desperately today?" In this case, either the enemy army is an elite force, or something is stimulating the enemy's heart, making them happy even if they die in battle, and there are other situations that are not clear to Yiyi now.
"Order the magician to push forward fifty meters from the junction between us and the enemy with all his strength and perform an indiscriminate magic attack for five minutes. "Kong Ming ordered that he could not let his soldiers die there without being indifferent because of the heroism of the enemy. The collective attack of magic can be divided into many types, like the artillery fire of the generation. There is the preparation of artillery fire in wartime, there is the extension of artillery fire in wartime, there is artillery fire blocking in wartime, and there is artillery fire cover in wartime, which is relative to magic. Magic is close artillery fire, and it has the same functions. It's just that magic varies from person to person. The magic released by a high-level magician can be ultra-long-range, while the magic released by a low-level magician may only be fifty or sixty meters, which is the difference in the level of magicians. Now Kong Ming has allowed the magician to exercise a function similar to artillery fire, the purpose of which is to directly eliminate the enemy's reserve army that is constantly advancing forward, and using the cooperation of the swordsman on the front line and the magician behind it, the Harvey soldiers in the contact area between the magic blocking area and the front line are completely eliminated. In order to deter the Harvey soldiers who are still surging behind, and after this kind of attack, the will to fight of the soldiers in the rear will inevitably be infinitely weakened, and it will not be like this. Desperately resisting. You must know that no matter how much the temptation of things is not enough to defeat the fear of people's hearts, and one of the best ways to destroy people's hearts is to show incomparably powerful and unrivaled combat power, once this kind of force that makes the enemy desperate is displayed, then the enemy's heart will be destroyed in an instant, this is a tried and tested move.
Ten minutes later, the place where the front-line mercenaries and Harvey soldiers were handed over, one after another magic completely covered the place fifty meters to one hundred meters behind the Harvey soldiers, in order to achieve the goal, Wen Yue adopted the most intensive attack means, that is, in the same place, a variety of mutually beneficial magic combined to attack together, so that the attack effect of magic can be improved, which is one of the most basic common sense of magic. Kong Ming just saw a tall magic wall appear there in the distance, and then it continued for five minutes, when this magic wall disappeared, the Harvey soldiers standing behind were directly dumbfounded, because there were too many Harvey soldiers concentrated on the fifty meters wide, all on the ground and on the house, and now this is just a piece of black and mushy, and I never saw a Harvey soldier again, and looking further, those Harvey soldiers who were pressed and attacked by the mercenary army were also directly stupid, a large number of weapons were still on the ground, and many Harvey soldiers directly raised their hands, knelt on the ground, and surrendered。 Just as Kong Ming predicted, when a soldier's life is not his life, they can only choose to survive, and everything else is a floating cloud.
The Harvey soldiers in the back began to flee towards the city, and the dense crowd seemed to disappear all at once. Kong Ming breathed a sigh of relief, although it was a very cool act to directly defeat the enemy head-on, but too many mercenary deaths were not the result he wanted to see.
The defeat was like a mountain, and this sentence was once again confirmed. The mercenary army attacked in the direction of the enemy's escape in the city, and there were constantly Harvey's city defenders raising their hands to surrender along the way, but these people were ignored for the time being, because they were sheltered by the mercenary army behind, and the task now was only to attack, so that the enemy would not have the slightest chance to stay and rectify, otherwise, the battle behind would be more difficult, and the price paid would be greater.
Three hours later, the City Lord's Mansion and the mercenaries took it without much effort, because the enemy had already fled, and this place had now become the headquarters of the mercenary army.
"Did you find out?" asked Kuming.
"It's clear, the reason why the enemy resisted so strongly just now was because the commander of the enemy's Seventh Legion, Zhao Wu was here, they said that Zhao Wu originally planned to go with his guards, but because the city lord of Wencheng gave him two beauties after the dinner, he stayed and asked most of the guards to rush to another city in front of him, and deploy first, afraid that we would attack that city. He was enjoying himself in bed when we called, and when he found out that when we came, he figured out the magic array to ask the guards to come, but found that the magic array was disturbed, so he ordered the city defense army to resist desperately, saying that after winning the battle, each soldier would get ten gold coins, and I heard that I wanted to work for him. Che Yu said.
"So, one of the fleeing enemies now is the commander of the Seventh Legion?" said Kongming.
"That's right, they fled in the opposite direction from us, do you want us to send someone to capture him?" Che Yu said excitedly, you must know how tempting it is to kill a Harvey legion, there are only ten legionnaires in the entire Harvey Empire, and that is the absolute top of Harvey, and the impact is far greater than the strength of a legion.
"Deputy Commander, how is that Zhao Wu's ability?" Kong Ming looked at Yi Yiyi, Kong Ming knew that all the Harvey high-level would be recorded in the hands of this woman. And it's quite detailed.
"Just after knowing that he is our opponent today, I checked his information, and the intelligence shows that this Zhao Wu is a person with average ability, and he did not have any experience in the war before becoming the commander of the legion, and the reason why he became the commander of this legion is just because he has a good sister who is the emperor's mistress. It is said that he unexpectedly parachuted into the Seventh Legion, and after becoming the commander of this legion, many people were very dissatisfied, and in order to eliminate this hidden danger, within three years before and after, those who did not listen to orders and had opinions on him were eliminated from the Seventh Legion, either retired or demoted, and now there is almost no one who does not listen to Zhao Wu's words. Yi Yiyi smiled, knowing that after winning the victory, her whole person also relaxed a lot.
"Che Yu let those who were chasing Zhao Wu come back. Kong Ming smiled.
"Why?" said the two in unison.
"Do you know why names keep popping up in the midst of war?" said Kong Ming, looking at the two of them.
"Because in normal times other people suppress them, so that they do not rise to the top, once the war comes, that time will become their stage, and many people will keep popping up. Yi Yiyi obviously has a deep study of history, and this kind of discourse comes casually.
"Not exactly. Kong Ming shook his head and continued:
"In the days when there was no war, the army had nothing to do, and at that time, no matter who became an officer, it could almost be said that he could do it, and as long as he did not violate the principle, there was nothing that he could not do, and it could be said that the commander of the regiment at this time could do it to anyone, not to mention that even if he could not do it himself, there were not many staff officers on the side to help? As long as there were people above, you could toss as much as you wanted. Kong Ming said with a smile, this is the law of officialdom, in ordinary times, where will those who have the ability enter the eyes of those officials, most of the time the people with the ability are placed on the professional, not to embarrass them if they want to pat the ass, at this time those who have no ability are easy to get on the top, even if the person with the ability is on the top, but once the sewing is a wide range of contacts, where do they still have time to do the profession? Slowly the ability will be worn out, only to eat the old book.
"However, once it is time to fight, those incompetent people will be eliminated by the war one after another, and those incompetent people in the back do not want to take over this hot thing, so those who are not usually treated well will be pushed to that position, so the layers of elimination will only be left with those real famous generals, so the famous generals will come out. This is the law of nature. And now if we kill Zhao Wu, then those upper echelons of the Harvey Empire will definitely find someone to replace this Zhao Wu, although we don't care about the good or bad of the successor for the time being, what is better than leaving a person we are familiar with? You must know that it is always better to deal with people I am familiar with. And once the top of the Harvey Empire wants to remove Zhao Wu, I believe that with his many years of operation in the Seventh Legion, there will always be many people who will work for him and stumble on those new officials. So keeping him is actually the best option, at least in our advantage. (To be continued......)
