With a convoy of 3,000 people, such a mighty team could not expect not to be seen by the other party. However, before coming out, Edward had studied the map, and it seemed that this place should not be an important line of defense for the enemy, and the cavalry was ...... That's not for defense either.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have the intention of rushing over, and they lined up quietly, as if waiting for something.
Wait for a voice to sound.
"Surrender. Men of Tumenis, our army is well-trained, well-equipped, and numerically superior to you, which you cannot match. ”
The voice came out of the enemy's city, amplified by the illusion magic like thunder from the heavenly realm, but the mocking pity could still be clearly felt: "You have fulfilled the duty of a soldier, you undoubtedly have the right to surrender, no one can say anything about your actions, surrender under the disparity between friend and foe is not a shame, but a respect for your own life!" Throw down your weapons, take off your armor, raise your hands, and walk under the blue and white banner, and we will guarantee your safety and freedom. I swear in the name of the Imperial Knight, the Marquis of the Third Rank, Syphas!"
As if to echo this voice, a gap was split in the enemy's neat formation, and the cavalry rode forward to the left and right, revealing the back of the formation, and two blue and white flags were revealed behind the opponent's formation.
"Or, for those warriors who regard fighting until the last moment as the highest honor, we also respect your choice and grant you a glorious death, but we hope that you will also respect the choices of your comrades who have lived and died together, life is priceless. We should not waste ourselves in the meaningless resistance that has lost our meaning, nor should we sacrifice in the senseless struggle of righteousness! Everyone should have a fair and just right to choose!"
"In this formation, I will take it and persuade you to surrender...... Are you still waiting for us to line up and have a decisive battle? ”
Looking at the other party's castle tower, the delicate armor, Edward pulled the corners of his mouth, and suddenly had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
The age of this world. It seems to be a bit similar to the history in his memory, the era of the late iron and blood, people advocate the so-called chivalry, pay attention to decisive battles, whether two people fight or two people go head-to-head. To show fairness, when dueling with guns, two people should be back to back. Each takes a few steps forward. Then turn around, draw their guns or swords at each other, and start a duel until one is killed...... When there is a war, there is even more joy, no matter how lively the two groups of people are, as long as the sun sets. Everyone just broke up, went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, and had enough to eat and drink...... Tomorrow morning we will continue to fight in platoons, after we are all ready. With an order, continue to work...... When everyone rests, you can also communicate with each other, and exchange your drop Aoi empty photo album for my Shu Break ** photo......
Unfortunately, Edward was not a Westerner, he did not have knightly blood in his bones, and he never thought that there was any point in paying attention to credit in war.
Isn't the essence of war a continuation of the political government? Isn't the political battle just for the purpose of dividing things? Since the war is fought only because the spoils are unevenly divided, isn't the result the winner king? The duel he knows is at least two people holding knives and slashing at each other, and the only time in his memory is that the duel was open and honest lasted for a month, and when the truth was finally revealed, not everyone showed up that day and was not very immortal, just to attract attention and let him sit on the supreme chair.
Is it better to be fair or sneak attack? The one who survives is the best!
However, if you meet such an opponent, it is indeed a bit ...... I don't know what to do.
"So, what do you think?" Edward turned his head and took in the expressions on the faces of the thirty or so hundred people who had gathered in his eyes.
"This ...... They are probably the second-line troops that the lord of Urdu is preparing to use to support the front line, they are worthy of being the overlords of the big 6, such cavalry, I am afraid that in the entire Tumenes, there will not be enough number of twenty or thirty thousand, but they can have five thousand people in only one dukedom...... If they follow their banner, their defenders are at least 8,000 men. ”
After exchanging a few glances, one of the centurion captains swallowed and responded tentatively: "This...... The form is not good for us, but are you ready to fight them, Your Excellency, and if you wish, so will we, and this will certainly live up to your expectations......"
"The form is not good...... So, what are their strengths, and what are our weaknesses?" Edward chuckled, cutting off the promise that he had almost choked his internal wounds.
"This ......" The thirty or so guys were stunned for a moment, and then began a round of looking at each other.
Do you still need to talk about the problem at hand? The Imperial people have 8,000 cavalry, but they only have 1,000 on their side, and even if they add infantry, they are only one-third of the opponent's...... Okay, we have that weird chariot that can do another kill on the enemy knights, but the previous one, doesn't that tell the story? A few mages cast fossils into mud will make the chariot immobilize, and this time, the other side has a magic tower in the city! Even with your magic ability, the other side has a city!
Can this be fought?
But after exchanging glances, everyone wisely chose to remain silent, after all, a few hourglasses ago, they had seen enough legendary events to be used as a lifetime of conversation, and no one wanted to be an unlucky bird to say goodbye to such a powerful mage.
Moreover, since he opened his mouth to ask, maybe he already had a plan in mind that was enough to deal with the enemy?
"The difference in numbers is big enough, but it's not a problem, they have a single class, and compared to the heavy cavalry, this kind of light cavalry in half-body armor is not difficult to deal with......" Turning his gaze, Edward sighed lightly and nodded to Claudia, so the female knight lived up to her expectations:
"The key is the body. They stood by in place, and we had come from afar, and we had not rested for a long time, and the difference in body and horsepower was incomparable, so they dared to use all the cavalry arrays. If we retreat, they can calmly pursue, and they have a magic tower, even if we don't get closer, they can use the advantage of the spell amplification to give the cavalry maximum cover. ”
Her red eyes narrowed, her gaze swept over the enemy's camp, and the corners of her slender lips curled slightly, outlining an indifferent smile.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but tighten in unison.
on that beautiful face. The red eyes seem to have a special majesty, and the moment they look at them, people can't help but subconsciously lower their eyes, and at the same time their hearts are shocked.
At this moment, this woman in front of everyone. No longer the taciturn servant who is bent on keeping the Psychmancer safe. And became a real knight again. A commander of battle, a sharp blade unsheathed. Confronting it, it will make people feel the imminent pressure and majesty, even if the thirty people in front of them are the best among the three thousand veterans, but under the bearing of this real commander. These second-rate and third-rate warriors will only instinctively choose to obey.
"The Magic Tower has a limited attack range, and we have a degree advantage, beyond that. They don't know anything about the weapons we have, the abilities, and besides, this guy's tactics are too rigid, and he is clearly poisoned by the so-called chivalry...... Although it is a light cavalry, if we suddenly attack and attack at close range during the siege, we will not be able to withstand it either, but now he has his hole cards completely exposed, and if they have nothing else to rely on, then it will not be difficult for us to win. ”
"But it's ...... in numbers"
"Quantity?" the knight sneered, "If the quantity is useful, shouldn't the ruler of this world be the ants? Have you not thought about what our advantage is at all? Well, everyone, are you thinking about how long their horses can chase if we drive a chariot? But haven't you thought that the advantage that Du brings when fleeing and attacking is always one?"
"As long as all the people with bows and arrows line up on the cart and prepare for battle, they can slowly approach, and since they want a decisive battle, then we will give them a decisive battle...... Meliane led a hundred cavalry to spread the barbed wire in front, and then Master Younger, after preparation, the tank opened fire, and the command post of the target enemy could be increased appropriately, and the guy who was full of duels should be able to sober up, right?"
If the momentum on this woman's body only oppresses everyone to listen to her words, then this sentence is undoubtedly a war hammer that crushes everyone, the last bit of hesitation. The knights glanced at each other, and bowed their heads to the female knight.
"That's right, then I'll hand over the command to you. Edward smiled.
Now, the power in his hands has gradually increased, but he is only one person after all, although his ability has become strong, it is impossible to cover everything, not to mention, he faces more enemies and more trouble...... Therefore, it is necessary to divide these small things in hand that have no time to take care of, just like entrusting the management of the territory to Anna Sui, and in terms of military affairs, it is naturally best to give it to this female knight.
......
The military formation of the Imperial people caused a little commotion......
The knights watched as their enemies slowly spread out their charging formations, and invariably began to sneer...... The choice not to surrender seems to be expected, even admirable courage, but equally pitiful - because the commander of the opposing side has chosen a ridiculous and senseless death for his men.
Or, their movements were fairly standard, with the cavalry in the center and the infantry on the flanks...... But for an elite opponent, there are some things that cannot be disguised. Even at a distance, the knights of the empire could see the fatigue of their mounts—they snorted heavily, their hooves were unwilling to lift their hooves when they ran, and the sweat and dust had glued their fur to a dark color, which was the fatigue posture of at least seventy or eighty miles after galloping, and such horses, even if they charged, could no longer have enough strength to help the knights' spears pierce the armor of their opponents.
Therefore, at the very moment when the trumpet sounded, the people of the empire moved.
Almost impatient, with their pride,
Wait a minute –
It's not that hard to increase your power, Edward
They watched in amazement at the steel monster that roared and rushed straight at them!
One of the leading knights raised his spear over his shoulder. He bravely challenged the monster, but all he could see was a flash of fire—the spear that could at least penetrate the double armor with all his strength, only made a tiny line on the front armor of the steel monster, and then the terrible monster had already grown huge in the mist and smoke that filled the field of vision!
The terrifying roar drowned out the sound of tight hooves, and the knights rushed towards the enemy like a waterfall, and were swept away by the black monster as if they had hit a rock! But that monster has rushed into their ranks with incredible degrees!
It was so fast that the knights in the back row even lost the chance to dodge, and together with their horses, they were instantly torn to pieces by the axe-like forks, and then the steel tracks weighing more than a thousand catties. Crush the fragile corpse pieces into fine pieces, almost in a breath. The knight's team was split in two by tanks!
But that's just the beginning. The sides of the turret parted, revealing the cold light of the metal underneath, and four crossbows of ten batteries spewed raindrops of death, completely turning the surrounding four hundred feet into a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood! The imperial queue was like an autumn wheat field, turning into waves of wheat falling to the ground in a strong wind,
The gray fog rolls and condenses.
A look of great fear suddenly appeared on the mage's face. As if he had thought of something, he turned around and opened his mouth wide to those around him, but the scream didn't make a sound—as if something was choking his throat. The next moment, his whole body was convulsed, his eyes were protruding! Even though he tried desperately to choke his neck with both hands, his face was rapidly turning gray, and finally he fell to the ground!
The angry warriors fell one by one, and only a few alert fighters at the edge of the gray fog escaped the range of the gray fog in time.
At this time, almost all the people of the empire who witnessed this scene were shocked...... The fog of death, that is undoubtedly the nightmare of the army, but it stands to reason that the range of this special magic is never very far, let alone thousands of feet away, in an instant!
Stir up a scroll, but before the effect is fully wielded, use the time essence extracted by psionic energy to completely wrap it, so that the magic will not be attracted until the embodied time is erased from the wreckage of the scroll - this is the perfect combination of psionic energy, magic and technology, and the effect it creates is the effect of completely wielding the range and power of magic to the limit!(To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
