Chapter 45: The Great Army Fights Each Other

Xu Zhennan still held on, continuing to wear down their morale, at noon, the temperature was extremely high, the humidity was also high, and they were covered in sweat when they walked a few steps, not to mention the soldiers in armor, who were even more quickly out of strength.

When the enemy was exhausted and wanted to retreat, he poured out.

The cannon rang out three times, the gates on three sides opened, and the stones at the head of the city flew together, and the opponent who was blocking could not get close, so the Dream Chaser Legion took the opportunity to leave the city and set up an earlier formation outside the city.

Although the Demon Cult army was reluctant to fight at this time, because they didn't want to let go of the opportunity to fight, they were even more afraid of being chased by the tail, so they also set up a battle formation on the other side.

Lu Yunyi and Zhu Shuqing rose into the air to observe the enemy's arrangement.

This is not the occasion for a master to make a move, but it is naturally allowed to watch the battle. The two ways of good and evil can still be implemented in accordance with the conventions and customs, unlike the demon clan, which does not pay attention to the rules at all and wantonly destroys the agreement.

A round of tomorrow escaped from the earth, hanging straight to the sky, under the sun, the weapons and armor of both sides shimmered, and the cold light spread over the entire battlefield, filling the atmosphere of a great war that was about to break out.

Compared to the righteous path army, which almost poured out, the strength of the demon sect army was obviously only partial, about 100,000, divided into three major formations.

The strength of the troops is mainly concentrated in the center, mainly the heavy infantry army, the front is the elephant army that charges into battle, the rear is the cavalry, and the front is the middle and rear three small formations.

The left and right formations are fast cavalry, but because the territory of the Demon Cult is southwest, the horses are mostly short, and they are not as tall and divine horses as the Dream Chaser Legion. But the murderous aura in their eyes can still show their battle-hardened appearance.

The hoplites in the center are divided into several small formations, the first three formations are shield soldiers and light infantry, and the other formations are heavy infantry attacking the main force, holding crossbows, bows, swords, spears, halberds, spears and other long-range defensive or offensive weapons.

Zhu Shuqing sighed: "Elder Lu anticipates the enemy like a god, avoiding the main force in the center of the enemy as if he was in front of him, and placing heavy troops on both flanks, which is indeed clever. Now, even if the Demon Sect knows that something is wrong, it will be difficult to change the formation. What's more, he didn't know that our cavalry was re-equipped with thick swords, not the previous swords, which guaranteed that the cavalry fighting with swords on both wings of the opponent would suffer a great loss. “

"I hope so, Poor and cunning, maybe there is some trick. ”

Knock knock knock!

The drums of war suddenly roared into the sky, and the thousands of elephant troops gathered in the front, followed by the infantry, hissed in unison and began to advance.

Thousands of elephants hid, straight like a dragon turned over, and the momentum was so strong that if it were not for the people who had been in battle for a long time, they were afraid that they would fall off their horses when they saw this situation. This is also the reason why the new army is not allowed to go to war.

Xu Zhennan gave the order to hold on, the drums sounded, a specific rhythm was heard, and the messengers then informed the cavalry on both wings with a banner. When the leading officers saw the flag, they shouted loudly and told their soldiers that the whole battlefield was tense and organized.

Just as they were about to enter the firing range, the first three rows of the elephant army suddenly accelerated, and rushed forward with a dexterous figure that did not resemble an elephant.

The elephants are all adult war elephants, and they eat very well on weekdays, and their white tusks are steaming with cold light, making them powerful opponents at a glance.

In addition to a rider, archer, and spearman, each elephant has a reserve soldier, each with his own duties.

The riders ride, the archers are equipped with bows and crossbows, the spearmen are responsible for spears, halberds and other weapons, and the reserve soldiers are subject to the situation, using bows and crossbows when they are far away from the enemy, and fighting with spears and halberds in close combat.

Inseparable, many times there is no need for words, a look or even a tone can effectively convey each other's meaning.

Since both the Mide and the warriors did not have to walk, they wore heavy helmets and strong armor, and were not afraid of ordinary arrows. The same is true of war elephants, whose skin is tough, and when they are covered with thick armor, the crossbow arrows thrown at leisure are almost like tickling, and they do have the courage to be unstoppable on the battlefield. If you give them to rush into formation, the formation will no longer be intact, and if the opponent's support continues to attack, there will be almost no opponents who can stand their ground.

This is simply an invincible existence in the cold blade battle, when the human race and the demon race were fighting, the elephant army fully proved the value of their existence in the battle to break through the four groups of war beast legions.

The elephant army entered the firing range, and for a moment the arrows flew each other, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The enemy's cavalry on each flank was also divided into a part to cover the two flanks.

The Great War finally began.

Xu Zhennan waited for the other party to fully enter the firing range before ordering the trebuchet and the eight-bull crossbow in the city to be launched. From time to time, the boulders in the sky were thrown at the war elephants rushing towards the enemy, and they roared out like the arrows of locusts that did not need money.

The people fell on their backs, and there were still nearly 100 war elephants in the first three rows rushing forward.

Xu Zhennan gave an order, and the tide of the Chinese army receded, revealing countless deep pits in the rear.

Arrows rained down on the city, and the foot soldiers who had lost the cover of war elephants fell to the ground one after another, and the tragic situation was unbearable to look at, but there was nothing to be done.

On the battlefield, either you die or I die, how can there be a place for the kindness of women.

At this time, the enemy's cavalry on both wings arrived, Xu Zhennan played the banner again, and the cavalry on the left and right wings killed, everyone held a big knife and a heavy spear, and the enemy cavalry holding the sword was chopped and crushed.

The iron cavalry of the heavy cavalry has always been superior to the demon priests, not to mention the dragoons riding war beasts, the elephant army without equal strength, and the new weapons that are the most convenient to attack on the horse, the dragoons are even more unstoppable.

After smashing the enemy's first offensive, Xu Zhennan's Chinese army began to advance, advancing hundreds of paces to the enemy's second round of war elephant footmen, and then forming a formation to attack the enemy from a distance with trebuchets and arrows.

At this time, the enemy's cavalry on both flanks was defeated in disarray, and the enemy's central army was afraid of losing the cover of both flanks and falling into the dilemma of being attacked on three sides, so they hurriedly retreated.

Although it is unstoppable when it rushes forward, it is not flexible to rotate, and nearly half of it collides with each other in a hurry, and it is extremely chaotic, and it becomes a pot of porridge at once.

It's no wonder that the Demon Cult army, who could have predicted that the two wings would be defeated so quickly and tragically.

Xu Zhennan knew that the time had come and gave the order for an all-out attack.

First, the left and right cavalry armies bit the tail of the defeated army and killed them from both wings, and then the infantry on both flanks followed the cavalry and advanced from both sides to the enemy position.

Xu Zhennan's Central Army, composed of infantry, cavalry, and some dragoons, also began to attack the enemy's retreating Chinese army, killing corpses all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers, which was extremely tragic.

The cavalry on both wings broke into the enemy formation with a thunderous force, and the Demon Cult army immediately panicked, and the chaos expanded like a wave, affecting the whole situation.

The high priest also knew that something was wrong, beat the drum and sounded the trumpet, and ordered the whole army to continue to advance against the enemy, but it had changed from active to passive.
