The battle on the northern wall began again at night.
This time, the troops on the front line were no longer the Euphorbia troops. The fierce fighting during the day made these most elite warriors extremely tired. Therefore, the troops on the front line were replaced by pikemen.[.]
In fact, during the day, the casualties of the Euphorbia troops were not many. With their extraordinary defense, the Euphorbia troops could almost be said to have only suffered very minor casualties. And they also became the most unshakable force on the line, killing and injuring
Tens of thousands of orc warriors.
The performance of the Euphorbias also shocked Ian, who saw the strength of this unit for the first time.
He never thought that humans could actually defeat the brave orcs in a head-on confrontation, and it was an almost one-sided confrontation!
These heavily armored soldiers were like machines, performing classic battles. But what shocked Ian the most was the long-range firepower displayed by the Dragon City defenders during the day.
Thinking of the overwhelming rain of arrows, Ian felt his scalp numb. What kind of troops can withstand the large-scale rain of arrows, Ian said. But one thing is certain, that is, the performance of the Far North Fortress Army
Judging from the methods used, this kind of combat method is definitely better than the average army in the Ross continent!
The machines that could throw huge rocks, and the weird instruments that shot arrows as thick as a child's arm, all allowed Ian to see Dragon City's mysterious fighting methods for the first time.
It can be said that the rumors about Dragon City's powerful military are not exaggerated, and are even far from the truth!
Seeing the solid defense line of the Second Army, Ian imagined for the first time the scene of a large orc army being encircled and annihilated under the Far North Fortress. Ian, who had participated in the combat meeting, knew that by tomorrow evening at the latest, the three armies responsible for the encirclement would
The troops will arrive at the designated location.
Judging from the mighty strength shown by the Second Army, as long as those three troops can have half the strength of the Second Army, this encirclement and suppression will achieve a decisive victory!
As long as the main force of the orcs is wiped out here, then the orcs that have troubled Byvost for more than three hundred years may be gone forever. What a great victory. At least in Ian's view, after the victory of this battle,
There will be no large-scale orc attacks for at least several decades. The northern fortress where dozens of generations have poured their blood will also be freed!
At this moment, although the orcs uncharacteristically chose to fight at night, Ian was not too worried about the safety of the Far North Fortress. Because he knew that the power of the Far North Fortress had not been consumed much, and the orcs' attack would still be repelled by the solid defense.
.
The battle soon reached a stalemate. Although the long-range firepower was reduced, the Second Army, which had changed its daytime fighting mode, still firmly held the advantage on the city head.
Don't think that with the absence of the Euphorbias, the confrontation on the city will be at a disadvantage. In fact, on the contrary, the spearmen of the Second Army are the real main force!
No one is more suitable for defense than them. The spearmen who form the front seem to be like another city wall, defending the advantage of the city wall without giving an inch.
Every orc warrior who climbs the city wall will instantly have at least three sharp spearheads appearing in front of him. The spearmen have always been the core of the Dragon City army built around Zhou Yunfei!
In every regular army establishment, the Lancers are the core of the core. Whether in terms of offense or defense, the Lancers are the most important foundation.
Especially the increasingly perfect Dragon City Formation, which has the origin of the entire phalanx surrounding the spearmen.
The most demanding training in the Dragon City army is the spearmen. Every soldier selected into the spearmen formation will receive several times the training.
If you want to say which unit in the Dragon City Army is admirable, it is naturally the majestic Euphorbia Troops. If you want to say which unit in the Dragon City Army is the most popular, it is naturally the First Cavalry Division! When it comes to Dragon City
Among the military, which unit has the best treatment is naturally the navy unit of Longcheng.
But when it comes to which troop is the most rigorous and hard-working, all soldiers will tell you that the Lancers are the hardest-working!
Joining the Lancers means abandoning yourself!
Each spearman is an integral part of the actual square formation. A single spearman cannot even compete with a sword and shield soldier in a single fight. But once they form a formation, their power will increase exponentially.
This is the Lancer, a simple yet complex unit.
Among all the empire's armies on the Ross continent, spearmen are the lowest profession. Their treatment is even similar to that of slave soldiers.
Because these spearmen are formed or simply used as cannon fodder. In normal battles, the only role of spearmen is to prevent the enemy's cavalry troops from attacking. In frontal battlefields, the probability of spearmen appearing is so low that it can be ignored.
For a long time, the weak individual strength of spearmen has made this profession a second-rate soldier on the battlefield. Even in the Byvost Empire in the north, the role of spearmen is only to defend the city against orcs and reduce the casualties of their own troops.
function.
Ian has been fighting for so many years, so he naturally has his own views on the various arms in the army. In his opinion, the pikemen cannot actually exist as a separate arm. Have you ever seen an army with only pikemen? And other infantry
The difference is that spearmen rely on many factors. From long-range power to cavalry raids, only in a relatively complete army can spearmen exert their greatest power.
As early as the beginning of the establishment of the Longcheng army, Zhou Yunfei hesitated repeatedly, and finally settled on the idea of building an army with spearmen as the core and cavalry as the auxiliary.
In the ancient Cold War era, during close combat on the battlefield, the stability of the front line played a decisive role. And the party with a perfect front line could be of great help in the anxious process.
Now looking at the battle on the northern wall of the Far North Fortress, it is not difficult to find the difference between the Dragon City Lancers and other Lancers in the Ross Continent.
The first point is the difference in usage.
On the walls of the Far North Fortress, no one of the spearmen you can see fights alone. The spearmen, who are composed of at least three people, always fight as a group. From offense to defense, the spearmen will not fight the enemy alone.
Therefore, every orc who climbs the city wall will face a defensive force several times greater than his own.
Secondly, there is the difference in combat methods.
Lancers, as the name suggests, are soldiers who use spears as a method of combat. Lancers on the Ross continent are also called spearmen, and most of the weapons they use are simple wooden spears.
The gun can be said to be the evolution of the spear. A metal tip is installed on the front of the spear, and a tough material is selected as the gun body. The length is also shorter than ordinary spears.
The combat methods of the spearmen in the Longcheng establishment all focus on a whole, that is, absolute discipline. What is absolute discipline? To put it simply, in battle, even if a weapon comes towards you, you cannot waver to block or dodge.
.Leaving the defense to one's comrades, this almost rigid and harsh discipline, has already weakened the power of the Dragon City Lancers.
For a period of time, the number of orc warriors who climbed onto the city wall could be said to be infinite!
The orcs climbing up the ladder were climbing one after another as if they were dying, but they would be strangled by spearmen immediately after climbing the city wall, and then fall. This scene made Ian re-examine what he thought should not be alone in the past.
How powerful are the spearmen organized?
The defense line composed of spearmen is impregnable. Even if it loses the support of long-range firepower, the city wall will not be in any danger in a short period of time.
Zhang Liao stood on the high tower, looking at the battle below and frowning slightly.
At this time, it seemed that the defenders of Dragon City's Far North Fortress had an absolute advantage. Although the orcs launched an attack at night uncharacteristically, this would definitely not cause the Second Army, which had been nervous, to suffer. Could it be that the orcs really
Is it time to attack? Zhang Liao looked at the orcs' attack and couldn't understand this creature.
While attacking the northern city wall, 50,000 warriors led by Sarion also circled from the rear and arrived at the southern city wall under the cover of the army.
Last year, the battle at the southern city wall almost broke through the three-hundred-year-old Far North Fortress, but the success fell short. In the end, the orcs still hated it.
At this moment, Sarion led 50,000 warriors, detoured here under the cover of the army, and launched two attacks at the same time, in an attempt to seize the opportunity before the human side was aware of it.
However, don't forget the scouts of the Second Army ambushing outside the city!
Ever since the orc army made a sudden move, the scouts who had been monitoring them at all times discovered this unit moving in the south direction. As usual, the frontline reconnaissance force immediately separated into a team to follow the branch that the orcs left.
It wasn't until they arrived at the southern city wall that the scouts sounded the red flare just as they were about to launch an attack!
Whoosh!
A dazzling light instantly appeared outside the south city wall, indicating the failure of the orcs' sneak attack.
However, this does not mean that the Far North Fortress is safe. It is attacked from two sides at the same time, which means that the defense forces must be dispersed. In this way, the local advantage on the city wall is likely to be loosened!
Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes. The moment the signal flare appeared, the troops responsible for the southern defense line were quickly in place. For all dangers that would arise, the Dragon City Command had already made corresponding measures. For example, when it was attacked from all sides at the same time.
, how to deal with it.
Zhang Liao would naturally not forget this possibility, so the Second Army kept its reserves at the southern city wall. During the day, when the troops were rotated for defense, the retreating troops would gather in the center of the far north fortress to rest and respond to emergencies at any time.
At this moment, without Zhang Liao's orders, the three divisions and one regiment responsible for defending the south city wall were fully engaged in responding to the enemy's attack.
There are three divisions and one regiment stationed on the south city wall, with a total of more than 5,000 people. Facing an enemy ten times their own, the pressure is no less than that on the north city wall. Fortunately, the reserve teams of the following three battalions are rushing to the south city wall.
, as long as it withstands the enemy's attack, the south city wall will not be in danger for the time being.
This move of the orcs was once again surprising. Ian had always thought that the orcs would attack the northern city wall, but these muscular and simple-minded creatures would actually divide their troops, which really surprised Ian. It seems that the orcs have been fighting for a long time.
Human beings only have images of species that are worse than savages wearing animal skins.
Zhang Liao looked at Ian's surprised look and shook his head slightly, "Never belittle your enemies!"
