Chapter 171: See the Trap Again
In the middle of Kotler's main army, on the left, there was an open space about twenty meters in a square area, which looked a little strange in the dense army, but after the crown prince gave the order, there was a group of busy people in this open space, not soldiers or priests, but magicians, a group of magicians who were busy carving magic arrays in the clearing.
As a magical empire, even the lord's private army will have the existence of magicians, and in some lords' staff or guests, there are even powerhouses of the level like the god of law or even the saint of law.
The main body of the army of this expedition is the lord's private army, many of which have powerful magicians, and after statistics, among the one hundred and twenty-six magicians in the army, the number of magicians at the level of the god of light has reached fifty, and the rest are third-level mages.
The prince announced his absolute control over the magician as soon as he integrated the troops, and it was precisely because of the prince's repeated suppression that the magic troops have been kept as a secret weapon.
When he witnessed the defeat in the air battle and the number of griffin troops who fled back was less than 100, the prince knew that if he did not strive for a favorable result, the morale of the soldiers would drop significantly, and the combat effectiveness would plummet, and the war would probably be lost, so at the same time as the griffin troops withdrew, the prince ordered: the magic troops immediately destroyed the stone wall about five meters high in front of the army.
As long as the stone wall is destroyed, it can boost morale and pave the way for the 150,000 cavalry as the vanguard.
Now that the war has been going on, it is time to use all its strength, so the magic troops are no longer hiding, and as a result, the magic forces have shocked both sides as soon as they make a move.
After receiving the prince's order, the first few magicians quickly chose a seventh-level magic "seismic", by controlling the earth element to cause the earth to shake, when the target is in the same vibration frequency as the earth, and then speed up or slow down the vibration frequency of the earth element to achieve the purpose of collapsing the target, although the stone wall is very high, but one thing is certain: it is temporarily built, the foundation must not be strong, and the use of seismology is the best choice.
When the stone wall began to collapse, the magicians responsible for outputting magic power for the magic array were all tired and slumped on the ground, without any grace at all, the distance between the magic array and the stone wall was more than three miles, if it weren't for hundreds of magicians, I am afraid that this seventh-level magic would not be able to reach the stone wall at all, let alone destroy the stone wall.
The stone wall built by the Orc Empire is more than ten miles long and about three meters wide, and the location of the stone wall is very special, the stone wall is a hundred miles back is the Orc Forest, which is very close to the Orc Empire's own territory, and the location of the stone wall is between two relatively steep mountains, these two mountains are higher than any mountain in the Kadan Hill Boundary, and they are also relatively steep, and the location of the stone wall is exactly the direction of the pass between the two mountains five miles forward.
The stone wall is not a straight line, but an arc, and the two ends of the arc are connected to the main body of the two mountains, and it is almost impossible to bypass the stone wall by climbing, so the Kotler Empire really wants to fight a decisive battle, and the first difficulty they face is the blocking of the stone wall.
The Cardan Hills are hilly terrains, and although the terrain is varied, most of them are flat, and it is difficult for tall trees to survive here due to the climate, and even a few small forests are mainly on the side of the Cardan Hills near the Empire.
The road is long and difficult to transport, so the commander of the Orc Empire Erfeng expects that the army of the Kotler Empire has no siege equipment, because the first line of defense is mainly to resist the cavalry charge, so in terms of troop arrangement, Fengfang only placed less than 20,000 troops on the stone wall, of which 5,000 are archers, and at the beginning of the plan, Fengfang had already planned to abandon the defense of the stone wall.
But he didn't expect that the prince's order would be so resolute, when the battle damage report was reported, his face turned green with anger, because of the collapse of the stone wall, the soldiers could not react, the troops of less than 20,000 people actually had nearly 7,000 casualties, of which about 1,000 soldiers died, more than 4,000 soldiers who completely lost their combat effectiveness, and more than 2,000 people were slightly injured, which could not support a long and high-intensity battle at all.
"It's too much deception!" Fengya knew that if he hadn't ordered it in time, this casualty figure would definitely be more than that, but even so, he still felt angry, not because the other party used magic, but because he was angry that he had ignored such a serious problem, the other party was a magic empire, how could there be no magician!
This is a serious dereliction of duty! And the consequence is the battle damage report in hand!
"You don't have to blame yourself, so far, those magicians will also have to die of exhaustion, and after the battle, we can feel more at ease. "The bellows sat on the ground, and a soldier bandaged the wound on his head, in order to save the wind teeth, he knocked the wind teeth down at the same time, and his head hit the stone wall directly, and when the stone wall collapsed, the flying stones grazed his left side of the face, and directly tore off a piece of skin, if it was not dealt with in time, I am afraid that the blood would not stop by now.
Seeing his partner's annoyance, Bellows couldn't help but say comfort, but he also understood his partner's temper, and when he said this at this time, Fengya couldn't listen to it at all.
As soon as Fengya wanted to say something, a low horn sound came from a distance, and the faces of the two commanders changed slightly, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes at each other, but the surprise was all fleeting, and then the faces of the two people returned to calm, even gloomy.
"Pass my order, abandon the first line of defense, and the first line of defense will be transferred to the second line of defense!" After the order was passed down, the orcs in the ruins began to carefully bypass the trap and enter the second position, while the engineers who were originally guarding the second line opened the trap.
At the same time, the forward cavalry of the Kotler Empire, which received the order to attack, began to accelerate slowly, and the Cardin offensive and defensive battle that had resounded on the continent for a hundred years officially began.
The Kotler Imperial cavalry is in front, the infantry is close behind, and finally the heavy infantry and archers are in strict formation, as the speed of the cavalry increases, the Kotler Empire's army immediately becomes two distinct phalanxes, the prince's plan is very simple, first use magic to destroy the stone wall, pave the way for the cavalry charge, and then use the strong impact of the cavalry to tear apart the opponent's defensive position, so that their own infantry phalanx follows, interspersed and crushed, if the battle is unfavorable, you can also use the archers to suppress it afterwards, buy time.
Watching the cavalry rush forward like a rolling torrent, the prince's brows furrowed slightly, and there was no trace of relief.
Faramir followed the prince's gaze and looked up to know why the prince had such an expression, after the air battle was over, the thousands of eaglemen did not retreat, even the stone wall collapsed, they did not have the slightest confusion, it was obvious that the orcs did not know what method to use to make them wait in the air, and now the huge grinding disc began to slowly turn again.
"Prince, the other party's air force is only a few thousand people, don't worry. Faramir saw that the cavalry was moving forward and the knights were like rainbows, so he couldn't help but persuade.
After listening to Faramir's words, the prince first glanced at the scar military judge hesitantly, then shook his head lightly and said, "I'm not worried about heaven. ”
Not heavenly?
Faramir was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and looked at the cavalry that had entered the state of charge with some doubts, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and before he could speak, he heard a scream from afar, and looked up, I don't know why, the cavalry that was free to avoid suddenly fell in pieces, and the cavalry who couldn't avoid it crashed into the cavalry in front of him, causing a wider range of chaos.
This sudden situation made the other generals and priests on the high platform extremely puzzled, but Faramir knew that what caused the confusion was the trap that led to the annihilation of the 100,000 cavalry before, but he didn't expect that the other party also arranged a trap in front of the stone wall, because of the existence of the eagle man in the sky, the cavalry's main attention was focused on dodging the blow in the air, and few people would think that there were also hidden mysteries under the ground.
What an insidious calculation!
This is the first thought of all human generals, but then a deep sense of frustration filled everyone's hearts, the other party is not the Binis Empire, nor the Ron Empire, but the Orc Empire, which has always been looked down upon by the three major empires, but the war has been going on until now, and the behavior of the orcs has repeatedly created different surprises, making the Kotler generals have a feeling of scratching their ears and cheeks but helpless.
Whether it is to lure the enemy or harass them, the high execution of the orc troops is already comparable to the elite troops of the Empire, and the changeable tactics are overwhelming, it is hard to imagine that this flexible tactic is actually used by stupid orcs, originally these generals of the Kotler Empire came with a relaxed mentality, but by now, that relaxed momentum has long been thrown away without a trace, replaced by seriousness and fear.
On the battlefield, the cavalry is still charging, the war is still going on, just in the short time from the cavalry charging to rushing through the trap, the Kotler Empire has lost nearly 6,000 people, a few here because of the attack of the eaglemen in the air, and more because of the traps set by those insidious orcs.
A pit that is not deep or shallow can break the front hooves of the war horse, and a rope that suddenly appears can directly trip the war horse and throw the cavalry on horseback out, no matter what kind of trap it is, it will cause a chain reaction of large or small, the war horse that has lost its owner is carried and rushed to the ruins that are getting closer and closer, and those cavalry who fell to the ground can only watch the hooves of the galloping horse step on their bodies, take away their lives, and trample their bodies to pieces.
Despite this, the cavalry on the battlefield still gritted their teeth and rushed forward, and all the cavalry knew that if they could not rush over, the Kotler Emperor ** team would fail and become a laughing stock, and they would lose their original pride and honor, and they would not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives!
The Eagle Men in the sky tried their best to pour their crossbow arrows on the heads of the advancing cavalry team, but in the end, the cavalry of the Kotler Empire finally crossed the trap area after paying nearly 3,000 casualties, and was less than half a mile away from the ruins of the stone wall.
Looking at the ruins that were getting closer and closer, the cavalry commander waved the long knife in his hand and shouted: "Kotler cavalry!"
"Charge"!
