Chapter 504: Chris's Tactics
PS: In order to impact the divine light faster, each chapter is changed to two thousand words, and three chapters are updated every day, hehe!
Iron Mask looked at almost all of his subordinates who were injured and most of them had lost their weapons, and he felt that it was because he was greedy for merit and only wanted to kill those high-ranking officers as much as possible, and did not wait for the best time to make a move, so that these subordinates and sisters almost lost their lives.
But what Iron Mask didn't know was that it was precisely because they attacked and killed almost all the high-ranking officers of the Eternal Empire in the Shenlong Pass that many of the Eternal Empire soldiers were leaderless and fought on their own, and did not organize effective counterattacks and defenses, so that the 20,000 defenders of the Eternal Empire were almost immediately defeated and had no power to resist when facing the purposeful army of the Seaside Province.
As the city gate was opened, the main force of the siege poured into the Shenlong Pass like water, and there were a large number of people, but under the command of officers at all levels, the soldiers slowly advanced according to the plan in an orderly manner.
After entering the city gate, the heavy infantry wing at the forefront quickly set up heavy shields, formed a steel defense line, and slowly advanced forward, leaving a certain buffer and assembly space for the troops behind them to stand still and hold the city gate.
The two wings that followed quickly assembled and lined up, and then formed a charging formation, advancing along the city wall in the north and south directions respectively, breaking away the enemy forces under the city wall, supporting the assault wing that had been fighting on the city wall for a long time, and consolidating the defense of the city wall.
After entering the pass, the remaining five wings, under the guidance of the thunder chain magic of the thunder eagle, spread out in a neat and strong phalanx in a radial shape into the pass, dividing and annihilating the enemies gathered together. Their task was the most difficult, not only to maintain the forward impact, but also to take into account the enemy's counterattack on the left and right flanks.
However, most of the soldiers of these five wings are composed of strong and powerful minotaurs, and the armor on their bodies is also made of steel plate armor made in the territory, plus the steel shield in their hands, it is difficult to hurt them with ordinary attacks. In addition, the Thunder Eagle in the air bombarded the gathered enemy wildly, making it impossible for the enemy to organize an effective defense or counterattack, so these five wings quickly arrived at their first buffer point.
Due to the weakness of his own forces, but his combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the enemy, Criszer drew an arrogant and steady battle plan after thinking about it.
Chris's battle plan was very simple, that is, let these five slightly more combat-effective Minotaur heavy wings and their arrogant methods, penetrate one-third of the enemy's column like open fingers and establish a defensive line, and then, the three wings except the assault wing advanced horizontally, annihilating or repelling the enemy troops caught between their fingers. Then. Advance in this way, force the enemy to the east of the pass, and then gather all your forces to drive the enemy out of the Shenlong Pass from the east.
At this time, the five wings that had divided deep into the enemy had already reached the first buffer point, and while they erected heavy shields to resist the enemy's attack on three sides, they also cooperated with each other to eat away at the enemy army in the same way as they attacked from three sides. At this time, it will be up to the two armies to hold out and win the victory by who will be more tenacious under tremendous pressure.
It turns out that the Minotaur hoplites of the seashore are far superior to the human hoplites of the Eternal Empire in this regard. This is not to say that the Minotaurs are stronger than the humans in this regard, but that the armies on the seashore are stronger in terms of equipment and morale than the leaderless, fragmented, and attacked Eternal Empire armies.
In addition, the minotaurs are already tall and powerful, and few of the soldiers of the Eternal Empire can block their heavy blows alone. The iron plate armor on their bodies did not block the enemy's attacks as before, and they were as vulnerable as paper paste in front of the huge and sharp sword of the minotaur. Often, a single face is tragically killed under the heavy sword of the minotaur.
However, the weapons of the soldiers of the Eternal Empire slashed at the minotaurs, and most of them could only slightly deform or cut a crack in the plate armor on their bodies, which was completely impossible to kill with one blow in the face of other enemies in the past. Only a few or a dozen men can besiege a minotaur soldier before they can be killed by tearing them off their plate armor.
Under the command of the officer, while resisting the pursuit of the equally lethal hand crossbow arrows and the minotaur hoplites, while paying a large number of casualties every second, they maintained a defensive formation and slowly retreated, intending to join up with the friendly forces behind them and wait for the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and use their numerical superiority to flatten these fierce enemies.
Wang Yong wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, although this burst of magic bombardment just now eliminated many enemies, his magic power was also consumed too much, and he felt a little dizzy. Seeing that the magicians around him, such as Regan, Shirley, etc., were also pale, and the blood drinking swords in their hands hung down and sat on the ground to rest, obviously because the magic power was exhausted, and they were no longer able to fight, Wang Yong smiled reluctantly, and greeted Mu Sen and Chris, who had just arrived.
After the assault wing attacked, Chris left the large camp with a wing of reserves to cover the enemy's ears, rushed to the Shenlong Pass as fast as possible, and after all the main forces of Mu Sen entered the pass, he took the reserve team to cooperate with the assault wing who was resting on the city wall to garrison under the city wall.
Chris and Mu Sen observed the entire battlefield from the top of the city, and according to the changing situation, the Thunder Eagle scouts guided the various departments to make adjustments, until the various wings stabilized their positions and began to advance in an orderly manner, and then Mu Sen and Chris climbed the city tower together to report to Wang Yong, the lord.
Wang Yong greeted him with a smile, and said to Mu Sen and Chris with some pride: "How about it? We magicians can kill at least half of the enemy, right?" Mu Sen nodded and stretched out a thumbs up, but Chris shook his head slightly, with a helpless expression.
Seeing this, Wang Yong asked Chris with a stunned face: "What?"
Chris looked at Regan, Shirley and other magicians who were all sitting on the ground resting, sighed and said, "I just saw your magic, it is indeed very fierce and the lethality is also amazing. Chris's words made the magicians more or less colorful.
After Chris saw everyone's expressions, he shook his head slightly, and said mercilessly: "But although I am not a magician, I also know that the magic power of magicians is limited, look at your achievements, in the face of the enemy's thousands of troops, more than a dozen intermediate magicians exhausted their magic power to kill half of the team, most of them are still ordinary soldiers, I am ashamed of you for rushing."
