Volume II, Chapter 75
When the command post of the Demon Coalition moved forward, a super-large confession meeting was being held on the side of the Divine Alliance.
"Are you from that tribe? Fujiyoshizu's? Go over there. ”
"What about you, of Desesis, go down there and find a big man to report down there!"
"Hey, Rocks, come and get these orc brothers into your team!"
The officers and officers were busy distributing the slaves who had just defected, and it was also a blessing for Tocoon to do strange things, otherwise his officers would have this kind of adaptability?
Nearly 10,000 slave soldiers were thus divided from one to the next, and for tactical reasons, they were enriched to the front line. Each slave soldier was assigned to follow a Divine Coalition soldier of his own kind.
The slaves were nervous, not knowing what they were about to face, whether they would be put in a dungeon en masse, or would they be directly captured and beheaded? Unexpectedly, all the people who came to them were people of the same race as themselves, and all of them had smiles on their faces.
Seeing the slave soldiers of the Expression Muna, the soldiers of the Divine Alliance greeted them affectionately, took hands and dragged them away.
"Ahem, brother, what's your name, where do you live, is it, not far from our house......
"I said brother, don't be discouraged! Just come here, it's good to follow our chiefs, it's delicious, drinkable, and fun! Although the situation is almost now, but this is temporary, you don't know how powerful our chief is, as long as you listen to Chief Cohen, we can walk sideways anywhere......
"See, the one with a flower on the collar is our boss, he is a second lieutenant, we all listen to him...... See this armband on my shoulder? This is the sign of a non-commissioned officer! Now that I'm your boss, you have to listen to me......
"Don't cry. Orcs bleed and didn't shed tears! My name is Rock. It's Chief Cohen's soldier. The chief told you to follow me. You just follow me, you can do whatever I do, and I will never starve you with a bite to eat!"
The soldiers of the Divine Coalition hurriedly communicated with these slaves, and after being in Cohen's army for a long time, ordinary soldiers even if they could not talk about it well, and they had two brushes to talk about crooked reasoning and fool people...... and not to see what virtue their rulers had.
"What? Overseer, we don't have that stuff in our troops, we're full of comrades behind us! If you're wounded in front, the brothers behind you will snatch you back!"
"We have the Judge Advocate General's Office and the Law Enforcement Corps. If you violate military rules, you will be arrested by the military judge and have a heart-to-heart talk, you can ask our squad leader, he came back with his ass last time. ”
"Yes, the order was given directly by the commander, and you are not familiar with it now, just follow me. Everyone is a brother, I will take care of you, no thanks......"
"Don't be afraid, it's going to start, brother, I have armor in front of me, and you're right next to me and stab the fuck with a gun! It's from here, you see. I'm like this, you're like this, if I'm like this, you're like this, you're like this......"
For these frightened slaves, although they are still on the battlefield, although they still have to copy the guys and fight desperately...... But this familiar hometown is so warm and warm, but it makes people feel peaceful.
Here, although the treatment is not good, it is much better than in the Demon Alliance. People have what they have, and the chief stays there himself. Even if a slave accidentally cries bitterly, he will only be soothed by the same tearful commander patting his shoulder.
This is clearly the difference between the two armies.
After a while, the officers at all levels gave a loud order, "The enemy is approaching, prepare for battle!"
On the position, the soldiers clenched their weapons, their eyes stared straight ahead, and at the front of the position, the veterans were whispering to their brothers about the most important things.
The twenty-seventh legion of the Demon Alliance was lined up neatly and had already pressed over.
The command post was unusually busy, with the Heralds of the Demon Coalition coming in and out, bringing all sorts of news to their commanders.
"Report to the sir, the first batch of the Twenty-seventh Army has gone up!"
"Report to the sir, the Twenty-seventh Army attacked for the first time, and two regiments went up!"
"Report to the Commander, the three attack batches of the Twenty-seventh Army are ready!"
The lieutenant general walked to the city wall and looked up, and saw that his own black and crushed army had almost rushed to the front of the enemy formation.
"Sue the 27th Legion, the interval between the attacks between the batches must be mastered!"
As soon as the lieutenant general said this order, the Divine Alliance had already begun to shoot bows and arrows!
Because the distance is quite close, and the formation of the Demon Alliance is relatively close, this kind of blow is deadly. A large number of approaching demon coalition forces were shot to the ground, and those who did not fall had to face the test of large and small traps of the god alliance forces, and as a result, only a few small shrimps of 5,000 people in the two regiments in front rushed into the enemy position.
But the soldiers of the Demon Alliance have always been known for their fierceness, not to mention that these soldiers are from the 27th Legion, they are infantry on horseback battlefield! They are called glorious fighters, these special treatment is not just for anyone, it is won by strength, even if there is only one person left, they will fight to the end.
Hundreds of fighters who survived the first assault batch, chanting "Sicelia!", rushed into the positions of the Divine Coalition with fierce faces.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the Divine Alliance at the front of the position shouted to meet them, these soldiers are not easy to mess with, they are also not soft-footed shrimps, their commander is called Cohen, and they have now become the most dragged soldiers in the entire Divine Alliance!
For Cohen's soldiers, they have been leading the Demon Coalition by the nose when they were still in the Camp Killing War, and after months of fighting, the mystery of the Demon Coalition has long since disappeared. The soldiers of the Demon Alliance are also flesh and blood, and if they go down with a knife, they will not be the same as they will die completely! This person is just used to carry out activities and set an example for the brothers who just ran over.
The soldiers of the Demon Alliance knew that they would die, so they didn't leave a back hand as soon as they came up, and they didn't even parry the enemy's stabbing weapons, they all stabbed each other in the chest with a knife!
What came out of the Divine Alliance's side were pikemen, and these soldiers had good armor and quick responses. And the chief said it before he came out. The purpose of this confrontation is to be a momentum! Hands should be black! Kill the enemy cleanly, too!
The two troops collided with each other with guns and knives, shouting and shouting, and immediately a burst of people on the front line turned on their backs, and blood splattered everywhere in the sound of a metal biting at each other. After paying the price of nearly 100 casualties, the Divine Coalition dismembered all the enemy troops that rushed into the position!
The limbs of the Demon Coalition soldiers were hung on the tips of their guns and shaken, and the wounded soldiers were still screaming frantically as they were carried down.
"Lao Tzu killed two more! Two more! Lao Tzu will come down and wrap up...... You bastards have to be guarded by Lao Tzu!"
"They are good!" the non-commissioned officers and officers lost no time in encouraging their subordinate soldiers, "Be calm, be steady! Cut down a few demon soldiers, you can also call yourself Lao Tzu!"
And the slaves who defected. They learned their first lesson in this blood-soaked and rude language.
Watching the five thousand soldiers under his command annihilated on the enemy battlefield, the lieutenant general's brain was spinning rapidly, and a whole team of heralds was waiting for orders by his side.
"Order! The second and third batches of the 27th Army Corps will abandon the dense formation and use the skirmish line to attack instead!"
"Yes!"
"Order! The troops who followed up will destroy all the traps that have been discovered at any cost!"
"Yes!"
"Order! Twenty-seven Corps to concentrate all hoplites, half of them to join the fourth attack batch!"
"Yes!"
"Order! Two regiments from the 28th Army Corps! Special services are on standby!"
"Yes!"
He gave these orders, and they were immediately passed down.
The second batch of four regiments of Demon Coalition soldiers had already rushed halfway through, and several horns sounded, and in the midst of loud shouts, these soldiers abandoned their formation. Hula all dispersed! Behind the second group were a large number of soldiers holding long and short logs. Their mission is to destroy traps!
"Sir, the enemy forces are scattered!" shouted Carlos beside Cohen on the other side of the city.
"Order!Stop!!
"Yes!"
"Elven archers are dispatched to snipe the enemy officers freely!"
"Yes!"
Because the formation of the Demon Alliance is scattered, the effect of bow and arrow rotation is not as good as last time. As soon as the Demon Coalition soldier who was hit by an arrow in front of him fell, his body was immediately stepped on by countless companions, and the forward of the impact had already poured into the position of the Divine Alliance.
The white-knuckle battle began.
The position built by the Divine Alliance, it is simply a labyrinth, a wall of earth walls divides the position into independent small areas, how high the two people are The earthen walls are interlocking around and around, and the big circle is set around the small circle, not to mention killing the enemy in this kind of terrain, it is not easy to walk in and come out.
A large number of demon alliance troops rushed in without fear of death, and under the command of the officer, they followed the direction of the earthen wall, entered through the gap left in the earthen wall, and rushed into their own tombs step by step.
After a few days of pursuit, ten days of siege, they have been fighting the enemy with tactics they don't like. They are extremely looking forward to a face-to-face and open decisive battle with the enemy, but ...... The Divine Coalition didn't give them that chance.
Cohen has a wealth of military knowledge, his troops have undergone rigorous street combat training, and the soldiers themselves are mostly "rats" who are good at fishing in troubled waters, and it is really a pipe dream to fight such a unit face-to-face.
Seeing a large number of enemy troops rushing in, all the soldiers of the Divine Alliance retreated into the earthen wall, either setting traps, or shooting crossbow arrows downward on the wall, and countless spears pierced through the holes in the earthen wall...... Front and back, left and right, head and foot, attacks from all directions overwhelmed the enemy soldiers, saw the trap but did not see the spear head, dodged the flying axe but could not dodge the crossbow, the intertwined attacks made these brave demon coalition soldiers die an unknown death, a terrible death!
Cohen, standing on the city wall, his gaze flickering rapidly from battlefield to battlefield, and one command after another was issued through the unobstructed command system, connecting the seemingly scattered positions to form a whole. Either defending together, supporting each other, or counterattacking, the various units on the position cooperate perfectly as if they were one person.
Cohen, who abandoned the walls in front of him and dragged the enemy into this unheard-of positional warfare, was a good way to maximize the flexibility of his troops. Because the Demon Alliance has never fought such a battle, no matter how brave the troops are, they can't help but panic. In such a seemingly chaotic situation. Timely command Cohen can form an absolute superiority locally. And after the elimination of enemy forces in an area. A quick movement of the tongguò can also destroy the enemy forces that rush into another area.
Through his strategic efforts, Cohen compressed the originally corps-level big scenes into small battles at the regimental and battalion level, which was quite beneficial to him, because his military experience in his previous life was almost entirely focused on the tactical level, and strategy was only book-based without much practice.
And now, Cohen is like returning to his previous life, as if he is standing in front of an electronic map and commanding a regular offensive and defensive battle, enemy and enemy forces. The situation on the battlefield was in full view, and orders were issued one after another. His astute reaction and flexible tactics made the staff officers around him admire him.
But the Demon Alliance's loss was great, and no one knew what three-dimensional staggered firepower and anticline fortifications were, and no one told them what it was to exchange defensive depth for time difference...... They were brave and fearless, but they rushed in but could not find their target, and as a result, the whole group of soldiers was surrounded by an earthen wall and could not move, the whole battalion of soldiers was divided into several pieces, and the whole regiment of soldiers rushed in but was scattered and absorbed by a large area.
In Cohen's battle plan, the basic combat idea of the Divine Alliance was to allow the enemy to enter the position, which was three miles long. He even allowed the enemy to rush into the position two and a half miles deep, and on that two and a half miles of the way, the enemy troops were all marching between the earthen walls. In the absence of a reference, most enemy forces will be disoriented within a few steps or will be destroyed by dispersion.
If you had enough bows and arrows, you could be better able to hit the enemy when they were onslaught, but now, Cohen couldn't do that. There's no way to get the archers to stop firing, and the rest of the feathered arrows will be used by Cohen to counterattack!
As soon as the bows and arrows of the Divine Coalition stopped, the lieutenant general in the command post of the Demon Coalition discovered the problem.
"The enemy army does not have enough bows and arrows! Order the third group to spread out and speed up to catch up with the second group! Strive to take the enemy's front line at once!"
"Yes!"
"Let the commanders of the 27th and 28th legions come to me!"
"Yes!"
"The scouts who are coming with the team will come to me as soon as they return!"
"Yes!"
Of the three offensive batches prepared by the Twenty-seventh Army Corps, the third group had the largest number of people. At this moment, the scattered soldiers spread all over the entire battle line, almost overwhelmingly rushing towards the divine coalition forces, and the soldiers who rushed to the front just caught up with the tail of the second batch, so that there was no gap between the attacks of the two batches.
The soldiers on both sides were fighting bloodily, and the sound of killing on the battlefield was shocking. The commander here is a magic weapon to defend the defensive line, and the commander over there racks his brains to try to open the situation.
When the two major generals of the 27th and 28th Army Corps arrived at the command post, several scouts returning from the battle line were reporting to the lieutenant general about the battle.
“...... We can't see the enemy! They are all hiding, the battle line is full of earthen walls, and we can't see anything!" said the bloodied scout, kneeling on the ground, "There are mezzanine layers in the earthen walls, and there are small fortresses between the earthen walls, and most of the soldiers died under the enemy's crossbow arrows and throwing axes......
"Where's your side?" the lieutenant general asked the other scout.
"The battle line on our side is also full of traps, and the enemy troops have well-concealed hiding holes, and when we rush through, they will kill them from behind! Those earthen walls are too high for the soldiers to wander around! Some troops have entered a dead end and cannot get out, and some troops have no news as soon as they rush in! We have no way of grasping the whereabouts of the enemy soldiers......
"Go down!"
"You've all heard it, the opponent is quite cunning, and the tactics used are something we have never encountered before......! Quite a fierce enemy!" The lieutenant general nodded to the two legion commanders, "We can't take this Phantom Legion lightly, we can't treat them as 50,000 men, in fact, they have always taken the initiative. ”
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, give the order!"
"Yes, Your Excellency Lieutenant General!
With the facts in front of them, the two major generals had to face up to the enemy, and the contempt for the Phantom Legion before the war was gone.
"The enemy has taken advantage of our eagerness to win, and has put on such a strange battlefield, and we must change our tactics," the lieutenant general motioned to the two major generals to walk to the city wall, pointed to the battle line, and said, "In this way, the 27th Army Corps will send out two regiments and bring hoplites to attack! The point is to occupy the front line of the enemy's battlefield, I don't want you to advance, and occupy it steadily! The 28th Army Corps also sent out two regiments, and then bring special troops, you can use these two regiments to attack!" Before the attack, special units should be sent to explore the terrain, and then the troops should be divided into small units, and the attack should be steady and slow, and the small units should strengthen contacts and support each other!"
"Yes!" both commanders replied at the same time.
"Our tactic is to eat the enemy army one bite at a time, pay close attention to the enemy's counterattack, occupy one section, destroy one section, and enrich one section!" The lieutenant general looked at the two subordinates and said, "Our opponent is very tenacious, and the casualties of the troops in front will definitely be very large, so we must replace them in time!"
"Yes!"
While his soldiers were still fighting the third group of enemy troops, Cohen noticed that the fourth wave of enemy troops was different, and the costumes of those special units were too exaggerated.
"Carlos!"
"Yes!"
"The 1st Reserve Counterattack! Destroy the enemy who is still on the battlefield in the shortest possible time!"
"Yes!"
"Hunt the team! Kill the enemy's special troops!"
In a small open space behind the battlefield, the first reserve of 5,000 men had been waiting impatiently, and after hearing the order, these suffocated soldiers shouted loudly, and rushed to the reinforcement area that had been divided before the battle like a gust of wind along the special passage.
With the addition of this new force, the shouting and killing on the battlefield reached a new level, and as the sound faded away, Cohen knew that the enemy troops who had entered the depths of the battlefield had been cleared.
When the 1st Reserve accompanied the original garrison to clear the remnants of the enemy army and entered the front line of the battlefield, the enemy army had just arrived with troops of different arms in two corps.
The special units of the Demon Coalition have finally been put into the battlefield, and the special units are wearing brightly colored uniforms, which can easily distinguish them from other soldiers, and these guys are armed with all kinds of strange weapons, and they are mixed in with the large army.
The new tactics of the Demon Alliance were resolutely enforced, with the heavy infantry approaching in a dense formation with their bodies, and with their thick armor blocking crossbow arrows for the soldiers behind them. As soon as they approached the position, countless small units of troops, including fighters, barbarians, and ordinary light infantry, accelerated out...... The weapons they wield are all good for melee combat.
Although the Demon Coalition suffered a heavy loss in the previous battle, their commander made timely tactical adjustments, and the defense line of the Divine Coalition was to be put to a more severe test. (To be continued......)
