During the blood-stained Battle of the Lion River, several important figures who shone brightly in the later war participated as bystanders, including the fascist army's ten thousand men Dahaino, the two famous generals Merlin and Norton, and others.
In the previous "Famous Battle of Lion River", they were all injured to varying degrees, so they were "kindly" arranged by Yemoda and Xiao Ke, both commanders of ten thousand people, to supervise the battle in the rear.
Also in this battle, on a big tree not far away, Horns, Chi Aotian, and Daqingshan of the small mercenary group were also watching the battle. Horns, who had a very good eye, was responsible for describing the layout of both sides of the war.
The green dragon user Lu'er, who has better eyesight, lay in the cool place under the tree and closed his eyes to relax.

Three hundred years after the War of the Gods, after experiencing the War of the Gods and the War of Kings, the furious dwarf king Horns. Kim Zegers, who ascended the throne of the mountain dwarf king, wrote a memoir about the War of the Gods - "Creation and Creation"
"Sameness and Difference".
The dwarves are a race that cherishes words like gold, especially when it comes to words on paper. Horns is very stingy in writing in the book, and an extremely magnificent war is often described as a short paragraph.
Explanatory text. From another perspective, the events recorded in the memoirs are extremely authentic, so it is also listed as a common reference book for studying historical events or characters in the War of the Gods.
Someone once tried to translate the Dwarf King's writing into universal human writing. Due to the limited understanding of the dwarves and the limitations of their understanding of the dwarf writing, the translation results were not ideal. Some famous translators even hoped to enter the
The Dwarf Palace learns dwarf writing, but the most common saying among dwarves is: "It takes more than 100 years from knowing someone to becoming a friend." This stubborn attitude of dwarves makes most people give up the idea.
Later, a half-elf who was said to have been friends with the Furious Dwarf King for more than 400 years entered the dwarf king's family and lived there for more than 80 years. During these 80 years, this half-elf spent time with the dwarves day and night and understood their vocabulary.
Habits, grasp the living habits of the dwarves, and finally, half-translated and half-deciphered, the 130,000-word "Sameness and Differences between Creation and Creation" was translated into a 1.25 million-word masterpiece in common human language. And Horns's
The translation was so satisfactory that I even wrote a 12-word congratulatory message for the translation.
In the blood-stained battle of the Lion River, most of those who experienced it died prematurely... The following text is compiled from the translated memoirs. Most of the descriptive text during the period is said to have been added by half-elves.
The skeleton text is the handwriting of the dwarf king:
In the 4th year of the magic calendar, both Chi Aotian, Da Qingshan and I still had a literal understanding of large-scale army command. Chi Aotian was stronger than Da Qingshan and I. He was born in a military family.
I also studied military command in the Knight School system, so when we watched the real "exercise" from a distance on that small tree, I acted as the observer and Chi Aotian acted as the commentator.
In the sky, the golden dragon knight raised his left hand high and lowered it hard. The white battle flag was first erected on the hillside. The loud male monks chanted in the fascist army. The prayers of hundreds of monks will undoubtedly attract the attention of the higher gods.
Power, the blessing of the gods - holy white light scattered from the sky, and the knights at the front of the camp and their mounts were covered with pure white light shields.
Then, black and blue battle flags stood up one after another at the same time, and the dragon spears with flat ends were raised high in an instant, and a 5-meter-high forest of black spears stood up - the low-pitched roaring dragons of the Fascist Land Dragoons Regiment.
Gaining unrestrained freedom, the Velociraptor's sharp hind limbs trampled on the ground, sending clods of earth flying in all directions. Without dragon armor, the speed of the Velociraptor's short-distance attack was said to have reached 20 meters per breath, and the furious Velociraptor made short roars against the ground.
Roaring, the roars of thousands of dragon beasts gathered together to surpass the roar of the golden dragon in the sky.
"The brightly colored velociraptors and the dragon knights in black armor weaved a giant canvas of weird colors with colorful rainbows and black clouds on the hillside, and the God of Death painted a sickle dance on the rainbow and the clouds." After the war.
The bards gave high marks to the fascist forces that first used knights on a large scale.
We stood relatively far away and could clearly see the centaur archers behind the dragon knights. The moment the blue battle flag was raised, mercury leaked out of the ground at an extremely fast speed, covering it in the dust behind the dragon knights.
.
Obviously, Viscount Fan also saw this. His thumb and middle finger seemed to make clear finger sounds as he waved. The deputy general quickly conveyed the Viscount's order - the square red flag was raised high, the crescent-shaped red flag was raised at the same time, and the square red flag was
Half flag low.
The tall human heavy infantry rushed out of the camp holding a heavy wooden war shield that was as tall as one person and wrapped with iron plates. Every 60 people formed a concave formation. The tall warrior at the front knelt on the ground, with both forearms on the shield at the same time.
In the harness, use your shoulders to resist the soft support nailed with cowhide on the back of the shield, and keep the easily injured head and neck as far away from the shield as possible. The 5 rows of heavy infantry with spears behind them use 4 to 5 meters long pure steel war guns.
Looking over Pao Ze's shoulder, he placed it on the battle shield and pointed diagonally at the blue sky. Forty iron hedgehogs with a diameter of 10 meters were arranged in a convex iron fence.
After experiencing the steel city wall formed by a team of pure bearmen in the Fascist Continent, none of us admit that the average human army is much different from them - the heavy infantry of the Fire Lion Legion is the army with the smallest gap.
More than 1,200 longbow archers bent down and quickly inserted themselves behind the iron hedgehog. The longbows as tall as one person were propped on the ground.
, the height is just right.
1000 meters, 800 meters, 500 meters... The Velociraptor's huge hind limbs trampled hard, and the ground under the tree endured the pressure from the distance, groaning in pain, and small dust followed by small stones lay helplessly on the ground.
Jumped up, the leaves trembled feebly.
Murderous aura rose from the frenzied fascist ranks in the sky...
"Chi, why don't the imperial troops charge? If the distance is shortened further, there will be no room for the knights in the second camp of the empire to expand." I had to raise a question, although I had participated in some large-scale battles before,
However, there are no knights among dwarves, and in the war on Silin Island, there were no knights involved.
"Well, it's very simple. The fascist army has not yet fully deployed. If their first charge is just like this, then the heavy infantry and longbowmen at the forefront will be enough to bury them. I believe that the golden dragon knight will not be so lame. 200 million troops,
Even a tentative attack was carried out with 3,000 people... Look..." Chi Aotian narrowed his eyes even smaller.
The red and brown battle flags were once again raised over the fascist army. The 2-meter-long knight lances of the light knight troops on both sides of the formation towered to form a new forest of spears. The knights roared out from both wings at a faster speed. At the same time,
, the first five or more infantry phalanxes were activated, and beast-like roars were faintly heard. In the flying dust, it could be vaguely seen that the infantry phalanxes were forming a torrent rolling in at a speed that was impossible for human soldiers.
More than 8,000 troops were invested at one time. It seems that the fascist's first charge was definitely not a test.
The sharp black eyes like a falcon showed the original expression, and Chi Aotian let out a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, the clever dragoon charge concealed the murderous intention of the archer, and the light cavalry acted as a ranger to sweep away the first round of attacks.
The stragglers are scattered, and finally they are matched with the heavy infantry of the large army. In this case, they still have more than half of the mobile troops in hand. The dragon knight is indeed a rare expert in the use of troops."
Of course, there is no doubt that these theories of Aotian are only limited to the case where the combat power of both sides is equal.
Fan Zijue rushed to the two lieutenants on the left and right to issue new orders. As the flame flag was raised high, the war drums in the main formation finally sounded, and waves of cheers came from the knight troops - there was not enough impact distance.
The destructive power of the knight troops is even less than that of the infantry. Probably no one knows this better than the cavalry. The mental damage caused by the high-speed knight troops to the enemy may even exceed the real combat power, especially for new recruits.
The battle formation composed of heavy infantry quickly turned the direction of the battle guns. 40 2-meter-wide troop exits were exposed in the convex formation. 1,500 heavy knight troops filed through and quickly arranged into a huge flat formation of 5×300. At this time,
The dragon knight has shortened the distance to 300 to 400 meters.
"Let go!" The captain of the longbowman in the back row waved the red crescent-moon flag in his hand vigorously. Red arrows instantly filled the sky in front of the imperial army. The longbowman's right hand fell neatly. New arrow feathers have been obtained, 1,000 of them.
The longbows above point to the blue sky again - the longbowmen of the Fire Lion Legion still left a deep impression on me. The archers I saw in the tribe before were undoubtedly even worse than them.
Red slender raindrops suddenly filled the sky, and from a distance you could even see the high-speed arrow feathers streaking through the air flow - the arrow feathers flying to the end turned sharply, making a hissing sound as they broke through the air, like hail.
After it was smashed down, the pure white light shield emitted a faint halo from time to time, and the arrow feathers were bounced to the ground; almost instantly, the second arrow rain fell again. After each halo, the color of the light shield became bleaker.
Finally, the red eagle feather penetrated the light shield. Although it was far away, it could still be seen clearly. A cloud of blood mist spurted out from the back of the Earthly Dragon Knight's neck, and only then did he see the tip of the arrow coming out of the body.
The Earthly Dragon Knight's body fluttering up and down with the speed of the Velociraptor was suddenly frozen. His once vigorous and high-waving hand was shaking stiffly like a puppet that had lost its rope, trying in vain to pull something out of his body...
More arrow feathers fell, and among the high-speed impacting earth-moving dragon knights, some were knocked off their horses by the inertia of the bows and arrows. The earth-moving dragons behind them rolled across the land without stopping, grabbing with their sharp claws.
It was no longer dust but blood clots on the clothes. The screams disappeared just as they started... It was as if nothing had happened.
In just 5 to 10 breaths, more than 100 earthly dragon knights fell to the ground. 200 meters away, they were out of the longbow's shooting range. More than 400 earthly dragon knights let out strange roars, waiting for them to be about to attack.
It's a battle between the dragon spear and the heavy knight spear.
At the same time as the bows and arrows were fired, the first row of heavy knights of the Imperial Army raised their spears high in the air. The red iron streams on both sides sandwiched the colorful heavy knights in the middle and ran at high speed. The performance of the imperial heavy knights could not have been better. If there was no roar from the opposite side,
The coming of the Earthly Dragon was like a grand military parade. All the red heavy knights had the same height, the same armor, the same vests, the same high spears, and even the frequency of the horses' hooves rising and falling while galloping.
It's the same as the distance. The knights in the front row had just rushed out for 5 breaths, and the 2.7-meter heavy knight's spear fell down at the same time in an instant. Under the scorching sun, the red spear tip shone with dazzling brilliance - I don't know how the knight opposite them felt;
Almost at the same time, the second row of heavy cavalry mobilized their horses...
The imperial cavalry is unparalleled and breathtaking. This is what I almost blurted out at that time. Fan Zijue's tactics in using troops once again taught us a lesson.
