Chapter 156: Suppression
Luna was shocked as soon as she heard the situation of the first day of battle, for this invasion, she deliberately conducted an in-depth study of Marshal Pixar, the three marshals of the Kotler Empire, the blood wolf, the viper, and the war dragon, although they are all named after beasts, but this represents the ultimate of three command tactics.
For Pixar, Luna never dared to take it lightly, she didn't know why the Kotler Empire didn't send Marshal Pippen, who was good at tackling tough battles, but let the blood wolf Pixar, a marshal who was good at field warfare, come over to attack the fortifications, and the Grand Knight of Mando seemed to know this result very early, so on the way he arrived with three thousand ink feathers, he sent someone to send Pixar's materials for her to study.
Pixar has not been very good at tackling tough battles, of course, this good is compared to Pippen, but until now, the tactics he has used are more like the fourth man in the Kotler Empire, without a trace of Pixar's command in it. But what was played in the barracks was indeed Pixar's handsome flag, which was what made Luna the most puzzled, which indicated that her previous research was almost in vain, and the opponent should be someone else, not Pixar, but definitely not the other two marshals,
Is there a genius in the Kotler Empire that can match the talent of a marshal? Luna couldn't help but think so.
She knew that the reason why the empire invaded Kotler was nothing more than that the Kotler Empire was now in serious internal troubles, the Kotler royal family was slowly losing control of the empire, and Kotler was already terminally ill at this time, otherwise the Binis Empire would definitely not have the amazing move of several fortresses in a row, but Luna did not think that this time was the best time to invade the Kotler Empire, in fact, she should wait.
After the war with the Orc Empire, the internal worries of the Kotler Empire have actually been alleviated, because the family can be rebuilt, but after the country is broken, the home can never be established, therefore, the Binis Empire should actually wait a little longer, and wait until the attention of the Kotler people is once again invested in the continuous rebellion, and the Kotler royal family is in a state of anxiety is the best time, and now the invasion is precisely to transfer the internal contradictions of Kotler to the Binis Empire, and the troops that suddenly appeared and mysteriously disappeared are not an example。
However, she still didn't think that the Kotler Empire could ravage the Demon Wheel City to this point on this day alone, in fact, the real war only started on the fourth day when she led the Moyu Cavalry away, and those despicable Kotlers actually gave the Binis Empire a day to breathe, but the Binis army didn't think from top to bottom that what would happen to them in the next two days.
The fourth day of Luna's departure, the third day of the war between the two sides.
It was still ten miles at night, and then the catapult was assembled again, and the troops of the Kotler Empire slowly advanced again, and Balenza, who had been slightly wounded on the first day of the battle, led his troops to meet the enemy again, but this time, he had no heavy cavalry, and he wanted to impact but was afraid of the opponent's magical power, and for a while he could only watch the opponent move but had no way.
Mando in the Magic Wheel City was even more frightened, others didn't know the inside story, but he knew that Pixar's food and grass were not enough, and he should have been the one who couldn't afford to drag it, but now the situation is just the opposite, Pixar is not in a hurry, but he is actually using this slow speed to gradually force in, as if his food and grass hoarding is sufficient, and it will take a while to completely match the Binis troops in the city, but according to the intelligence of those people, Pixar definitely did not take out a trace of grain and grass, where did the other party's grain and grass come from?
Thinking of grain and grass, Mando thought of a possibility, the mysterious unit that suddenly appeared behind the Magic Wheel City and attacked the three logistics troops, these three times were all robbed of grain and grass, since the other party can hide without a trace, it can naturally avoid its own reconnaissance, the other party first robbed its own grain and grass, and then transported it to Pixar, so Pixar can hold on for so long?
Luna has been out for four days, why hasn't there been any news coming back, is it eliminated? One question after another appeared from his mind, disappeared, looking at the phalanx that was still slowly moving, Mando couldn't help but feel a sense of anger, what he was expecting was not this kind of battle, in his imagination, he should lead the cavalry army and fight a hearty field battle with Pixar, instead of being in an embarrassing situation like now, where his own side could not hold out, and the other party was slowly advancing but had no intention of attacking the city.
Seeing that the other party's catapult was propped up, all the Binis generals couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, the power of the catapult began to appear the day before yesterday, and now it must not appear again to isolate the two phalanxes, but more to hit the Binis troops outside the city, but is the range enough?
This is the question of all the generals of the Binis Empire, the two armies are five miles apart, and the bow and arrow must not be within reach, but this will not be the launch range of the catapult, so what are these Kotlerians doing with the catapult now, even if they move closely with the phalanx, they can't reach the phalanx of Balenza.
Mando has been watching silently, his face has changed from the beginning, and then he has become more and more calm, the other generals looked at his look and thought that His Excellency the Great Knight had a countermeasure, Balenza did not wait for Mando's order, so according to his own judgment, he led the troops to attack again, but this time he was only responsible for one way, and the other two roads were attacking both sides, which was the direction that the catapult was not aiming at, and maybe it could also make a breakthrough or unknown.
But Valença himself has no bottom in his heart, leading the heavy armored cavalry did not penetrate the opponent's defense, he himself does not know how much success the light cavalry can get, and it must be the Binis Empire who is always led by the nose of the other party to lose, which Valença himself understands, but he has never seen this kind of tactic after a long time on the battlefield, and he is depressed and troublesome.
Just like two days ago, the opponent's catapult began to project again, but this time the projected thing exploded in the air, and for a while, the red fireball fell on the cavalry who was charging like raindrops in the air, and the fire fell on the body no matter how it was beaten, it burned on its own, and the front end of the light cavalry that did not expect the other party to block the charge with this attack instantly melted a large piece, and the military horse, which was naturally afraid of the flames, was completely out of the control of the cavalry, and for a while the Binis light cavalry, who wanted to attack head-on, fell into chaos。
Balenza's eyes were torn, the other party was surprised, and he once again bore the brunt of the baptism of magic, but when the flames came, he found that this was not magic, but a kind of grease, this kind of thing is extremely resistant to burning, if there is enough grease, I am afraid that even the armor on the body can be damaged, but this kind of thing does not need to damage the armor, the heat alone is enough to hit the cavalry with only light armor on the body, behind is the wail, and the camp in front is still some distance.
Seeing behind him, Balença was sure in his heart, there were a large number of light cavalry in his front army, although the arrow of the impact was damaged, but he could definitely reorganize the offensive, but at this time, he saw the flag played by Mando, and actually asked him to withdraw to the Magic Wheel City, Barenza didn't understand why Mando played the retreat flag when he attacked, and his front road was blocked, but the other two roads should be able to establish results, in the middle of the battlefield, Balenza could not see the situation on both sides, but he could see that the camp of the Kotler Empire was still unmoved, and between hesitations, he saw the flag behind him shaking again, and it was an order to retreat。
Balenza had no choice but to stay in the middle of the army and retreat, the army of the Kotler Empire could not get out of the camp, except for the constant projection of that strange stone, there was no group of soldiers out of pursuit, one came to reject the barrier of the horse formation, and the cavalry led by Balenza were all cavalry, with strong mobility, and when the other party was out of the formation, the cavalry could return to the camp and dismount to rest.
After the merger of the three armies, Barença understood why Mando had to withdraw his troops, although his middle road was blocked by the rain of fire, but the situation of the other two roads was not much better, the left side was blocked by a strong rain of arrows, the losses were light, the most heavy losses were on the right side, they rushed through the rain of arrows, but then they were greeted by overwhelming magic attacks, the light cavalry on the right side of the magic and the archers in the Kotler camp shot at each other, which was considered to have brought certain casualties to the other side, the three armies combined, the loss of troops was as high as 20%, and from the beginning of the war to the present, the opponent's losses were negligible。
After the former army withdrew to the city of the Magic Wheel, the military camp of the Kotler Empire moved forward again, but this time they moved extremely fast, and in half a day and night, they were already five miles outside the city wall, and their catapult was set up again.
Mando ordered to activate the magic defense of the magic wheel city, and the slightly milky white magic cover slowly rose, covering half of the sky above the magic wheel city, this magic cover is specially made by the Kotler Empire, although the magic array is complicated, but as long as there is enough magic crystal to supply magic power, then this magic cover can continue forever, the strength of this magic cover is extremely high, dozens of sixth-level magic concentrated attacks can not break through a corner, for the magic power in the opponent's hand, the existence of this shield is to eliminate the magic This unfavorable factor for the Binis army is eliminated。
Luna frowned, remembering the bombed house she saw after entering the city, and asked, "The magic shield can't defend against physical attacks?"
Mando nodded and said: "The stones thrown by their catapult are not solid, they are wrapped in a large amount of grease, which will burn when it encounters air, some will explode in the air because of inertia, and some will explode after being hit hard, the process is completely uncontrollable, and it is ......" Mando paused and said: "Pixar is not trying to take back the Magic Wheel City, he wants to destroy it." We were completely pressed and beaten by him. ”
After saying that, Mando buried his head in his hands like a loser, there were no other generals in the tent, and even the guards at the door were broken away by Luna, taking a deep breath, Luna saw Mando's down-and-out appearance, and her admiration for the big knight completely disappeared, and she shook her head in disappointment and said: " Your Excellency Mando, your subordinates believe that you are not suitable for commanding the battle now, and you have not drawn up any reasonable battle plan since the beginning of the war, so I hope you can unload the military power and transfer the command to me, for the sake of the Binis Empire, and for your personal sake, I hope you can consider it. ”
"You're going to take my military power!" Mando looked up suddenly, furious!
