Aris Kent is a general. At the age of 42, he climbed up from the ranks step by step. He is not a noble and has no backing. He wanders between life and death. Every year when the northern orcs attack, he takes up his hands.
He used his long sword to fight with those monsters until he was noticed by a noble young master from the Presbyterian Church and left the cruel fortress in the north. He often recalled his friends who resisted the orcs together, and most of them died.
I'm afraid he is the only one left of the fortress's elite squad.
Recalling the faces that were still deeply remembered, Aris touched the old face and sighed.
After receiving the order yesterday, he ordered his men to assemble the troops, and at the same time led people to climb the city wall and look from a distance. He could see a simple fortress in the distance. Human figures flashed in it from time to time. He carefully read the information reported by the detective horse.
On the other hand, although he did not know the specific information, he always had a bad feeling. This was the unique intuition of a person who had experienced wandering between life and death. He suggested that the Elders Council quickly send people to contact the strongholds in the rear before the war started.
Send more reinforcements, because his feeling tells him that he will probably be defeated with only 30,000 people in hand!
After receiving his suggestion, the Presbyterian Council asked Aris carefully, and he also informed everyone of his intuition. Of course, the younger faction still disagreed, thinking that these elite soldiers prepared to seize power could completely defeat the upstarts, and
The older faction was much more cautious. After repeated hesitation, they decided to send people back to request reinforcements.
After Aris was affirmed, he returned to the military camp to arrange military affairs.
After spending a difficult night, the next morning, there was a sound in the distance. Aris hurriedly ran up the city wall and looked from a distance. An army of about ten thousand people was slowly advancing, two miles below the city.
They slowly gathered into a square formation. Aris squinted his eyes and wanted to observe further, but he received an order from the Council of Elders, asking him to open up the army and fight in the city!
Aris was stunned when he received the order. He has always scorned this so-called chivalry. The orcs in the north will not treat you with any bullshit chivalry. How many people died for this so-called chivalry! No wonder
Even the orcs with undeveloped brains call you stupid! But as a general, he has to do this, after all, he belongs to the leadership of the Council of Elders.
Since we want to fight openly and openly, let's do it! Aris was very proud as he watched the army marching out of the city gate in an orderly manner.
Yes, this is an army he brought out by himself. It undergoes arduous training on a daily basis. Different from the militia, this is a regular army and is completely professional.
Aris has a high prestige in this army, and the Elders are happy to let him continue to lead the army.
Zhou Yunfei looked at the army from a distance and frowned slightly. Judging from their orderly formation, this was a well-trained army. You can tell an army from the simplest formation.
The strength comes! But, so what! The army in my hand is not comparable to that of ordinary armies like yours! Any one taken out from it is an elite that can be counted in history! Zhou Yunfei thought proudly.
The two parties were facing each other about two miles apart, and then they began to advance forward in unison.
Close, close. When the distance between the two sides was 800 meters, Xu Sheng stood on the building cart and said something to the flag soldier beside him. Then the flag soldier quickly picked up the two colorful flags placed beside him and kept saying
After repeating several actions, the Dragon City Army began to slowly change formations.
Yes, this is semaphore. Zhou Yunfei felt that the drums of the ancients were good, but sometimes detailed orders could not be issued, so he ordered people to develop semaphore and use different flag colors and different postures to convey orders.
The Longcheng Army quickly changed the front group. The heavy armored spearmen in the front group turned to the left one after another. When the spearmen in the rear group were parallel to them, the ones behind them turned to the right. In this way, the army extended to both sides until it finally became
An inverted font. And Aris also commanded the elder army to arrange themselves into a genuine font, facing the Dragon City army with their sharp points.
After the military formations of both sides were arranged, Aris ordered to continue advancing, while Xu Sheng ordered the troops to stop where they were.
At 700 meters, Zhou Yunfei's palms slowly began to sweat. Although he said he didn't care and was sure he could win, he still couldn't help being frightened after seeing the enemy in front of him clearly. As the saying goes, a good soldier exceeds 10,000, which is ridiculous.
Liantian. Looking at the enemies in front of him, Zhou Yunfei couldn't help cursing secretly. In the past, the protagonists in the novels traveled through time and casually commanded tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people to fight. That's nonsense! It doesn't matter if you don't pee your pants when you go to the battlefield for the first time.
Be brave! It seems that it is a wise choice for you to let professionals fight the battle, otherwise your life will be lost in the panic!
500 meters later, Xu Sheng waved back.
Behind the military formation, 20 trebuchets began to load, and 50 soldiers quickly pulled the ropes of the throwing rods in circles. When the throwing rods reached the scale position, the launch officer waved the small flag in his hand, 50
The man suddenly let go of the rope in his hand. The throwing rod sent the stones in the colander out in the blink of an eye.
"Huh!" 20 big rocks hit each other hard.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Continuous loud noises suddenly sounded, and 20 large craters suddenly appeared in the open space between the two armies! Although these stones did not hit the enemy, they brought an unspeakable shock!
Aris looked at the huge boulders in front of him and broke out in cold sweat. If these stones hit a person, you don't need to think about what a hellish scene would be like, but if they hit a city wall, the seemingly solid city wall can withstand
How many stones can you afford? The third prince and Yuna, who had the same idea as Aris, were also sweating coldly. It was as if the nightmare scene appeared in front of them. Zhou Yunfei was also shocked by the big pit in front of him, darling, this is worse than having sex.
What a shock!
On the other side, Aris stabilized his mood and loudly urged the army to speed up. The scene just now caused the Elder Army to pause briefly. Except for the soldiers in the front who could see clearly, the soldiers in the rear did not know what was happening in front. In order not to destroy
formation, they had no choice but to stop along with the soldiers in front.
So Aris loudly urged his men to speed up and enter hand-to-hand combat. Only in this way, the enemy would not dare to launch the terrifying boulders at will.
Xu Sheng didn't say anything about the first batch of catapults flying away, but coldly signaled to the flag soldiers. Following the flag language, the left wing of the Longcheng Army, the cavalry unit led by Zhao Yun, entered the battlefield. This unit was composed of white horse archers and
After receiving the order, the archers formed by the White Horse Yi Cong quickly formed a cavalry formation and rained down arrows on the right wing of the Elder Army.
After Aris saw the appearance of the enemy's cavalry troops on the left, he quickly moved the spearmen of the Chinese army to the right to prevent the enemy's cavalry from attacking. However, these soldiers carrying wooden spears nearly 5 meters long were only wearing thin clothing.
A large piece of the thin leather armor fell instantly when faced with the ranger's arrow rain.
Aris looked at the right-wing forward line that was slowly becoming sparse in surprise. He never thought that the opponent was actually a soldier riding a horse and shooting arrows. This completely subverted his thinking. In his opinion, only standing on the ground and shooting arrows can
The shooting was accurate. How could it be accurate on the back of a running horse! And who would use precious war horses to serve as infantry? Regardless of whether he understood the reason or not, at this time, the right wing forward of the Elder Army was almost collapsed.
, under the saturation attack of the cavalry, the spearmen transferred to the front line were almost completely destroyed! Aris looked at the broken right wing indifferently, and said slowly: "Send the order, the Chinese archers reinforce the right wing, tell Lille! It means death.
He will also die on the battle line, so ask him to hold on. The central army will soon contact the enemy, and the right wing must hold on!" Moving the archers to the right wing was a last resort, hoping to drive away the strange cavalry. Ali.
Si's deployment was disrupted by the cavalry. Originally, the archers would focus on shooting the first few rows of the enemy's line when they were about 150 meters away, and then the elite swordsmen would attack to quickly penetrate the enemy's line. But the right wing
We can't collapse now, otherwise the enemy's cavalry will penetrate the right side and threaten our formation!
When Aris ordered the archers to go to the right wing, the Yanyun cavalry led by Ma Chao was quietly following Zhao Yun's rangers. Yes, Xu Sheng wanted to completely collapse Aris' right wing in the first wave of attacks!
Lille is the commander of the right-wing military formation. At this moment, he is holding a large shield on his head and cursing the cavalry in front. These cowards only dare to shoot arrows from a distance! Like women, they hide from a distance and dare not charge! Let him
The spear team suffered all casualties! "Damn it, why haven't the archers come yet! We are almost all killed!" Lear roared loudly. It seemed that his roar had an effect, and the archers arrived belatedly.
They all stood ready to draw their bows. At this moment, the rangers led by Zhao Yun suddenly turned their horses and retreated outwards.
"These cowards! Bastards who are afraid of death!" Lille dropped the shield in his hand angrily, and cursed loudly at the cavalry who turned around, while the archer looked at his commander in confusion. Is this still necessary?
Or should we go back to our own formation? The archer chief was looking towards our own formation, waiting for Aris's arrangements. They didn't notice the gravel under their feet, and the weeds began to vibrate.
Ma Chao's Yanyun Iron Cavalry, this heavy cavalry covered in heavy armor, was only 200 meters away from the right wing at this time. With the cover of the rangers, they entered the charging distance of the heavy cavalry! They began to adjust their formation in small steps, 450
The team of people formed a dense charging formation and slowly increased their speed. When they were about 100 meters away from the right wing of the Elder Army, both sides could see each other's faces. Lille opened his mouth wide and stared blankly like a stormy wave.
The heavy cavalry roared in, and so did the soldiers around them!
"Quick! Shoot the arrow quickly! Those in front, pick up the spear! Quick! Quick! Quick!" Lille suddenly woke up and shouted to the soldiers in a hurry. Facing the charge of the heavy cavalry, if you don't have a spear or a spear, you will die!
But he was too late. The heavy cavalry increased their speed to the limit. The horses panted rapidly. The knight slowly flattened the spear in his hand and pointed it downward slightly.
As a great man said, the first row of soldiers facing a cavalry charge are all warriors.
In fact, no matter how brave you are, when facing the cavalry, especially the heavy cavalry, rushing towards you like a wave, you will feel that time suddenly slows down and your heart beats rapidly. Almost all actions are subconscious, so we often say that you should sweat more.
Less bloodshed during war means just making the right actions subconsciously.
But no matter how brave you are now, facing a cavalry charge of nearly a pound of weight, the impact alone can knock a normal person away more than ten meters! Not to mention the few spears, many soldiers subconsciously closed their doors.
His eyes and hands were trembling and he couldn't even hold the weapon! Facing the intensive charging cavalry, even the spear formation could not stop him. Even if the heavy cavalry running at full speed was dismounted by a spear, his momentum would be enough to knock away the human wall behind him.
!So to deal with this kind of cavalry, you can only use a dense spear formation similar to the Macedonian phalanx, with each row of spears several feet longer than the front row.
Aris's face was ashen as he looked at the soldiers who were knocked away by the heavy cavalry on the right wing. The entire right wing collapsed instantly! The remaining troops in front of the archers disappeared immediately. The heavy cavalry only slowed down slightly and continued to charge towards the archers.
Go. Facing the massacre of the cavalry, the archers had no choice but to desert, and deserters appeared for the first time. Aris hurriedly mobilized all the remaining spearmen to regroup on the right side of the central square, facing the right to prevent the broken army and the cavalry from attacking the center.
Main array.
At this time, the heavy cavalry who had killed nearly 3,000 troops on the right wing turned around and slowly withdrew from the battle line. The cavalry archers who had just left appeared again to take over and chase down the defeated troops on the right wing!
