The first thousand five hundred and sixty-six chapters of the golem army
In Green Sun's temporary camp, Supreme Commander Kurtu is listening to reports from his subordinates.
"The enemy troops divided into four groups and evacuated from Modena."
A staff officer immediately marked the regiment's movements on the combat map.
"Haha, the cowardly Western natives trembled under my Green Sun troops. Send an order to all the troops to pursue them. They must be killed and not given a chance to survive."
Kurtu laughed and deployed his troops.
"Commander, should you concentrate your forces first and capture Modena?"
A general suggested it.
"What's the use of occupying this kind of city? I want to capture the city of Rome before Her Highness Lorraine arrives!"
Green Sun is not satisfied with this result.
Everyone knows how difficult it is to attack a city. The troops must be at least three times larger than the defenders. In this case, they must wait for other departments to assemble.
You know, in order to make full use of the superiority of troops, not only Green Sun's offensive, but other corps fighting on such a large plain also choose to open the front as much as possible, advance on multiple lines, and attack several points, so as to maximize the
Divide the enemy's defensive forces to the maximum extent possible.
The generals said no more. The capture of Modena would only be described in one sentence in future history, but the capture of Rome would be a glorious achievement. As for chasing the enemy's various units, they were not worried, let alone their own side.
The number of troops was already large, and even if it was the same or less, the Green Sun generals, who had just experienced a great victory and were bursting with confidence, had nothing to fear.
"Everyone, fight hard, the great glory is waiting for us to grab it!"
Kurtu stirs up emotions.
"I am willing to give my life for the commander-in-chief!"
The generals stood at attention, saluted and received their orders.
The three regiments left Modena, first feinting to evacuate, and then diverted to their respective defense areas according to Downton's arrangement.
Downton personally led the Golem Corps, bypassing Green Sun's main army, and advanced in depth.
"Are the Evil God Army too arrogant? They just sent out two cavalry regiments of 10,000 people just to annihilate us?"
Horace curled his lips, held a short bow, and asked Downton to fight, "Master, let me kill them?"
This silver-haired drow is a new graduate of the Spider Academy. He killed those men who had high hopes for him and obtained the title of martial arts master.
In addition to the usual ferocity and ruthlessness of dark elves, this flat-chested drow is more cunning and sinister, and has amazing talents in strategy and tactics.
Beyoncé has been following Downton's instructions to recruit talents from Menzoberranzan, and the eight matrons even had a quarrel with Downton because of the loss of Hollis.
"Go ahead and reduce your losses as much as possible!"
Downton nodded. The golem was very fast, but it couldn't get rid of the cavalry in a short period of time, so it could only use the Ranger Light Cavalry.
"Master, just wait for the good news!"
Hollis blew a kiss, whistled, and galloped back on the black panther. She couldn't wait to show off her skills on the battlefield.
The three thousand rangers immediately detoured and dispersed, their mounts galloping and causing a large amount of smoke and dust.
"The enemy is attacking?"
When Captain Wan Qi heard the scout's report, he was stunned for a moment, and then became furious. This was naked contempt. Three thousand versus twenty thousand, a seven times difference in strength. How dare they take the initiative to provoke?
"Speed up the whole army and crush them!"
Wan Qi Chang roared.
The Golem Corps also began to turn around and attack the cavalry. This did not surprise Cavalry Commander Wan. When the infantry encountered cavalry, they must stick to the defense, otherwise they would be eaten bit by bit.
"Send the order, no magic arrows are allowed, we must use the superb archery and riding skills of the drow to completely defeat their souls, destroy their will, and destroy their souls!"
Hollis yelled.
For this support operation, Downton not only provided the dark elves with expensive magic arrows, but also brought the latest explosive arrows developed by Krupp.
It is a miniaturized use of gunpowder weapons, similar to the rifle grenades in the dream world. Although the wind magic circle is engraved on the projectile to reduce the weight, in order to ensure the lethality, the size and weight of this weapon are still very large, resulting in
The range is only five hundred meters.
As soon as the subordinates agreed, they saw two purple signal flares rising on the rear front, which meant that the cavalry regiment was mainly focused on destroying the enemy's formation.
"Damn it, Master wants to test the combat effectiveness of the Golem Corps!"
Holmes complained.
"General, with this tactic, our losses will be smaller."
Adjutant reminded.
"Of course I know!"
Holmes glared at the adjutant.
The strong wind is howling and the horses are galloping.
Green Sun Cavalry and Dark Ranger appeared in each other's field of vision. They all strung their bows and stared at each other.
"spread!"
Horace wanted to disperse the attack, but the Green Sun Cavalry Commander was not an idiot, so he let the cavalry regiment fight in units of a thousand people to strangle the drow.
One thousand five hundred meters!
One thousand meters!
Eight hundred meters!
Green Sun's usual shooting range was reached. He raised his hand and raised his bow. He only heard the cowhide-tanned bow string trembling. After a neat and muffled sound, the black arrows shot out like locusts.
The sky seemed to darken a bit.
This was a tentative attack, so even if the cavalry were equipped with magic arrows, they did not use them.
The rangers were very calm. When the arrow was about to be shot, they clamped their legs on the black panther's belly and suddenly accelerated.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The first wave of arrows fired by the Green Sun Cavalry failed. Occasionally, a few of the arrows fired at them would be knocked down by the drow with a calm expression waving his short bow.
Five hundred meters away, Dark Ranger takes action!
collapse!
The bow strings roared angrily, because the action of opening the bow was so neat that there was no noise at all, rising and falling suddenly.
The Green Sun Cavalry is a well-trained regular army. Their performance alone is remarkable, but when compared with the Drow Cavalry, there is a huge difference.
Being able to calmly fire such a perfect volley under the cover of a 500-meter rain of arrows, even the Green Sun Cavalry Commander had to shout the word "submit" from the bottom of his heart, but after that, he was about to cry without tears.
"Be careful, it's a magic arrow!"
The officers were all experienced veterans. When they saw the front end of the arrow, which was as thick as a finger, they knew something was wrong and shouted a warning.
The cavalry who were originally going to block immediately changed their minds and dodge, but found that these drow were too cunning. The arrows they shot were all aimed at the middle.
Since they were surrounded by comrades, they couldn't hide even if they wanted to. They could only shrink their bodies as much as possible to reduce the area being attacked.
The next moment, a rain of arrows fell.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After the collision-induced explosive arrow hit the object, there was a big explosion, setting off a huge fire ball, and the powerful shock wave was like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, blowing away the cavalry within a few meters.
fall.
Blood is splashing and life is withering.
"What kind of arrow is this?"
Not only the ten thousand cavalry commanders, but also the ordinary cavalry almost had their eyeballs popped. Isn't this kind of long arrow too powerful?
After landing, there was a large pit with a diameter of half a meter, and they also saw that some cavalry and war horses were directly hit by those arrows and exploded instantly, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Sound waves, explosions, and burnings all caused the cavalry to be stunned instantly by this kind of attack, and the cavalry formation was also in disarray.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Downton urged.
A majestic horn sounded.
The Golem Corps began to advance strongly.
Downton had already studied how to maximize the combat effectiveness of the Golem Corps.
In the history of war, only cavalry can defeat cavalry. Even if infantry defeats cavalry tenaciously, it will not be able to expand the results due to speed.
Downton's tactical concept is to use cavalry to disrupt the enemy's formation, delay, harass, and make the opponent lose their speed advantage, and then use the powerful golem corps to strangle them.
In this way, it can not only reduce the losses of one's own cavalry in the confrontation, but also bring out the combat effectiveness of the infantry, killing two birds with one stone.
The cavalrymen who were hit by the shock wave felt a little dizzy. Even if they did not fall off their horses, their speed also slowed down. Their combat effectiveness was naturally greatly reduced.
"Gather and kill them!"
When Commander Wan Qi saw that the Dark Rangers were too powerful, he immediately rallied and used his strength to crush the opponent with a volley.
Horace wished that the enemies would get together, as that would make the explosive arrows more effective.
When mechanical golems enter the battlefield, on a normal battlefield, the infantry will rarely move before the cavalry determines the winner, because that will cause the defense to weaken, be hit, and then collapse. However, the golems are all made of steel.
Ordinary arrow rain has no destructive effect on them.
The five-meter-tall violent bear demon statue weighs a thousand pounds. When it runs, it is terrifying. It does not require any attack movements. Just a simple collision is unbearable.
Before the cavalrymen who were knocked off their horses by the shock wave could recover, they were ravaged by the demon statues. Human bodies were knocked away, and when they were stepped on, they were embedded in the ground.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The arrow rain collided with the steel, making a dense sound.
Downton sat on his war horse and watched the soldiers charge.
"Your tactical idea was successful."
Homer praised.
The weak and skinny goblins, relying on their clever minds, invented steam civilization, conquered many races, and created the great goblin era.
The mechanical golem is one of the pinnacle inventions. It uses gears and magic devices to create mechanical weapons. After Downton got the blueprints, he gathered Krupp, dwarves, and elf craftsmen, and supplemented them with the world in his mind.
Some of the ideas I had seen were combined to create this violent bear golem.
As long as the magic energy as a power source is sufficient, they can keep running without fatigue or illness. They can immediately enter the battlefield after a long-distance attack without fear or timidity. Although they can only execute simple orders, they will never
Cheating and cheating.
The defense, mobility, and attack power are all above the standard. The only weakness may be that the cost is too expensive. The price of a golem is as high as 10 million gold coins. If the general is stingy, he can support an army of 10,000.
A motley army of people.
Of course, the Golem Corps has explosive combat power, but its logistical requirements are also exaggerated. This is why Downton led a Goblin Corps. Their mission is not to fight, but to maintain the Golems. (To be continued.)
