Langcang Mountain is the largest hill on the south side of Huayu Plain.
In the Yangtze River of Langcang Mountain is the largest tributary of the Lion River, the Langcang River.
According to historical records, the main stem of the Langcang River was originally the Langcang Valley, and the rolling water has been rushing here for hundreds of thousands of years. However, a war between great magisters took place here 1,400 years ago, and the water system was
The magician sneaked into the bottom of the Langcang River and wanted to use the water domain to defeat the ice magician. Unexpectedly, the ice magician used his supreme magic power to turn the entire Langcang Mountain into ice pimples.
The final result of the magic war was that the great water mage who had been trapped for seven days was forced to use the life magic "Laya of Water" to instantly heat the water under the ice to more than 100 degrees Celsius - the entire iceberg exploded, and the two great magicians
No bones were left, the mountain peak on the south side was blown away by more than 200 meters, and the Langcang River changed its course.
After the Langcang River was rerouted, more than 200 years later, the silted river water was baked and evaporated by the sun, and the entire Langcang Valley was exposed, and eventually became a section of the mainland highway.
——"The Classic of Mountains and Seas"
Chapter 31 Langcang Ancient Road
The army that Fanos invaded the Eminor continent was divided into two parts, namely the Western Expeditionary Corps responsible for the war in the Amy Empire and the expeditionary force headquarters responsible for the strategy of the mercenary empire. There were some extremely outstanding players in the two strategic directions of Fanos.
officers, such as the four thousand commanders of the Western Expeditionary Army. Later, the bravest among them, Du Qilie, died in battle, leaving only three heroes in the Western Expeditionary Army.
On the eastern front of Fanos, the most active general is Menton Carolla, the flower of Eastern Fanos who has just held the title of Commander of Ten Thousands of People. In the existing intelligence of the Imperial Military, Menton's information thickness is absolutely among the top.
Top Five - He led the Eastern Sixth Army to conquer more than half of the mercenary empire's territory.
Since his debut, Pu first gained fame in the Mercenary Empire Landing Battle.
Mercenary empires have the most powerful navies of all empires—mainly because mercenary empires often have overseas employers.
If the Fanos Army forces a landing, it will definitely encounter a strong blockage from the mercenary empire fleet. Menton took advantage of the moon tide to sink nearly a hundred ships in advance in front of the mercenary empire's main fleet port, and piled countless lighter weights on board.
Using the strong tide, all the small boats were smashed. The entire military port was filled with buckets of medical stones. Most of the battleships' oars and rudders were smashed by the stones, making it impossible to sail. This created the most favorable conditions for the landing battle.
; Later, in order to conquer the capital of the mercenary empire, Mengton set fire to a forest on the east side of the capital. The roaring sea breeze kept blowing the burned dust and smoke into the city. After more than a month,
, no matter how stubborn the resistance faction was, they lost confidence, and eventually the country was conquered.
According to the intelligence from the Imperial Military Department, the Sixth Army was evaluated as follows: it has strong morale, is good at fighting face-to-face offensive battles, and is good at concentrating its forces to expand the battle situation after a breakthrough; the evaluation of General Menton is as follows: it takes a deviant approach and uses troops strangely.
He is good at surprising soldiers and dares to invest his last force in the war. The blue crocodile flag with a green background is the military flag of the Sixth Army.
This information was only sent to the General Mansion of Chi Changyun, the acting general of Tongyunguan, and three imperial captains including Qi Lieluoge.
Barbas also had an excited look on his face as he listened, gearing up: "Grandma, these bastards are fighting our little mercenary group. His grandma always fights one in ten, but this time, they can't.
It’s easy for me to bully those who are more powerful than others, and kill his mother to avenge the children!”
After hearing this, Ye Mingbo glanced at Barbas: "Ba, you must pay attention to it. Many of my subordinates' children are serving in small mercenary groups. In the last two wars... fuck
His grandma’s…”
Barbas's face suddenly darkened, his big fists clenched loudly, and he could not say a word.
Qi Lieluoge came out to smooth things over: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, kill these bastards and avenge the children!"
"Go down with the order, bury the pot and make rice at 11 noon, set off at 2 pm, and prepare to attack at 4 pm!" The three captains issued almost the same order.
A good general does not need to lack troops.
The three senior officers of the empire are all well aware of this truth. Although they have been resting for almost two months, they have been marching in high temperatures in recent days, and the soldiers are somewhat tired. Although the Fanos Army is away from home on the Eminor continent
, but it is relatively adaptable to the temperature in the southern region and may have landed for a long time, so it must be adjusted well.
The nine squadrons took turns eating, resting, and taking precautions. During this period, from time to time, Fanos's rangers could be seen wandering around in the distance. There was no doubt that they were conducting reconnaissance. Immediately afterwards, the scouts reported that the enemy positions were also filled with smoke.
It seems that Your Excellency Mengton also knows how to sympathize with his subordinates and recuperate their strength. It is really a great blessing and misfortune for a soldier to encounter such an enemy.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the northern federal soldiers could clearly see the appearance of the Fanos orcs 600 meters away with the naked eye. The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on countless shining weapons, piercing the eyes of every soldier.
The military strength is 3:1, which is an absolute advantage.
Even so, the three captains were extremely cautious. Except for Lord Qilerogg, who was in charge of the overall situation, the other two all entered the headquarters. Barbas took the two mercenary teenagers who were traveling with him to join the light infantry squadron and patted him.
The last few soldiers at the back smiled and took the square shields in their hands, and squeezed sideways to the front of the team.
The soldier whose shield was taken away did not know this senior, but he could see that this old guy dared to walk sideways and must have certain power. When he saw that he was far away, he cursed in a low voice: "Mom, take my shield."
"
The team leader next to him glared fiercely: "Nonsense! That's Sir Barbas from the small mercenary group. Are you going to compete with the small mercenary group against the orcs?"
The surrounding soldiers' ears were filled with excitement. The little mercenary group...that's it...
His Excellency Lord Qilerog's layout is extremely neat. There are 200 light infantry battle formations at the front, a light knight battle formation on each side, a light knight squadron and a swordsman battalion as reserves, and a small number of rangers.
Wandering in the distance. General, this formation is the most traditional, but when one's own side has an absolute advantage, this traditional formation, which aims at consuming the enemy's active forces, has the least casualties and the greatest chance of victory. Listen early
It is said that there are dragon knights in the Fanos Legion, and your Lordship specially gathered all six fantasy beast knights below the squadron leader into the reserve team to compete.
The strange thing is that the formation method of the Flower of Fanos is almost the same. On the front are heavy infantry holding a giant shield as high as a person, on the left are the dragon knights, on the right are the light infantry formations, and at the front are the centaurs.
Archer. In such a disparity in strength, the method of using force to carry it is really not the performance that a veteran battle-hardened general should have... Maybe it was because the mercenary empire warriors in the past were too poor, and the Flower of Fanos always won with less.
If there are many, then there will be such a large layout.
"Woo--Woo--Woo--" The Xueyue Army's attack seal bone horn suddenly sounded.
The light infantry square flag that was raised first was pointed forward in the air by the flag bearer.
"Fuck his grandma, charge! Charge-" Barbas was the first to rush out with a roar. In order to save energy, he threw aside the shield he had just grabbed without running a few steps, and dragged the sword sideways with both hands at the same time.
The pointed drag turned up a long ditch on the ground. Behind him, young soldiers from the Northern Federation followed closely.
The infantry camp had just rushed less than 100 meters when two knightly flags were raised at the same time.
The knights on both sides could no longer hold back any longer. They neatly pulled down their silver shields, pulled out their spurs with their left hand holding a small shield, and swiped their hands across the back of their mounts. Blood hissed out, and the horses were in pain.
He buried his head and rushed out with all his strength, wrapping up along the arc.
Your Lordship stared intently at the opponent's camp, trying to find the connection point where his will collapsed. However, Your Lordship was temporarily disappointed.
500 meters, 450 meters, 400 meters... The silver knight troops arrived first, surpassing the light infantry like an avalanche, roaring like the snow-white tops of the rolling tide. The knights in the front row had already clamped their spears flat.
Under the right rib.
300 meters…
At this moment, an invisible boulder seemed to appear on the vast grassland, splitting the huge waves into two parts. All the knights turned their horses' heads and rushed to both sides at the same time. The knight in the middle tried his best to pull the reins of the horse.
, the pained war horses mostly circled clockwise, and their four hooves that were about to lose control kicked up the dirt flying all over the sky.
Almost at the same moment, as if it was a pre-arranged military exercise - the sound of war drums suddenly sounded from the main formation of the Fanos Army, and 1,000 white arrow feathers shot out suddenly, turning into clouds in the sky. A distance of 300 meters was difficult for them.
For a strong bow, it only took two or three breaths. Dozens of knights at the front who could not hold back were shot off their horses by arrow feathers, while most of the knights in front were unharmed. The knights glanced at each other, thanks to the Lord's thought.
thoughtful.
The knights mobilized their mounts to outflank them from both sides. The soldiers of the light infantry battalion came behind the knight who was shot over. The squad captains shouted at their subordinates at the top of their lungs amidst the sound of the horses' hooves and formed a battle formation again.
Every three or four shields form a small shield array - the shields in the front row are raised high above the head, and the shields behind are protruding from both sides to protect the left and right. Thousands of shield arrays are arranged neatly like the scales of a divine dragon.
"Advance -" the three squadron leaders issued the order at the same time. The soldiers rushed forward in two rows, running in small steps, and the shield formation did not appear messy.
"ぉ──が──" From a distance of 300 meters, you can clearly hear the opponent's commander shouting orders.
"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-" In just one breath, the centaur archer actually scattered five rounds of arrow feathers in succession.
The arrows falling from the sky rained down on the shield array, and the top shields of the two small shield arrays in the center were hit by hundreds of white arrows at the same time. Several warriors were unable to hold the shields. Fifteen,
The six warriors were shot over like hedgehogs by the second round of arrows, and layers of red mist floated in the wind. Someone from the three or four shield arrays behind immediately rushed up, reached out to pick up the shield, and everyone held it at the same time.
The two shields blocked the loopholes in the shield array. Arrow feathers continued to fall with a roar, and arrow feathers continued to pass through the gaps in the shield array and shoot down the owner of the shield. There was almost no hesitation. The soldiers at the rear rushed forward to pick up the robes.
The shield of warm blood blocks more arrow feathers.
His Excellency the Lord's sharp eyes swept across the opponent's battle formation, and he could clearly see that there was a trace of uneasiness in the huge battle formation - perhaps, these half-orc boys have never seen such a group of orcs who can remain calm under great pressure.
Soldiers in formation, come on, this is the first time that Northern Federation soldiers have entered the continent of Eminor on a large scale. This battle will definitely make them famous!
"き——" The orc commander issued a new order.
The black heavy infantry at the front of the Fanos Army suddenly put down the iron shields in their hands at the same time, and held the iron spear as thick as an arm stuck in the soil behind them, "む--な!" Thousands of warriors roared in the same voice.
, strode forward dozens of meters, raised his arms and threw out the iron gun in his hand.
"Be careful—" Barbas had seen this scene before.
But, it's too late!
The black iron gun easily swallowed up hundreds of meters away - hundreds of shields at the front were torn apart like pieces of paper and knocked away. The light infantry soldiers hiding behind the shields did not even see clearly what was suddenly blackened.
, has been nailed to the ground by the iron gun - there is almost no wailing sound, the huge iron gun instantly tears apart all the internal organs that can be destroyed.
"Bang the drum! Attack on all fronts!" The Lord, who was in battle mode, had completely given up all emotions and desires. At the moment when his subordinates died in battle, he keenly captured the momentary pause between the enemy's attack and defense. While shouting the order, he threw away the weapon in his hand.
The knight spear pulled out the knight's sword and rushed up from the center with the last knight troop.
The war drums sounded like raindrops, and all the battle flags were raised at the same time. The 3,000 swordsmen threw away their scabbards, raised the simple shields in their hands and rushed out together with the two captains. The knights had already formed a semi-encirclement at the same time.
After putting down the knight's gun, the distance is 300 to 350 meters. For the knight, it is only 7 or 8 breaths.
On the entire grassland, tens of thousands of elite warriors in white armor rushed toward the center like a fan. Even the thick nerves of the Flower of Fanos, who had been fighting in the mercenary empire for more than two years, could not bear this.
Under pressure, the commander issued multiple orders in succession.
After receiving the order, the Centaur archers suddenly found it difficult to complete the task. More than 1,000 Ursine heavy infantry with a height of more than 2 meters in front were still running back desperately, blocking almost all direct shooting angles, and all the enemies had already crossed
200 meters of scattered rays.
The Centaur officers neighed, trying to get the heavy infantry to squat down - unfortunately, they ignored the structure of the heavy infantry's plate armor.
The chaotic scene only lasted for less than 5 breaths, and these 5 breaths were completely enough!
Hundreds of knights rushed up diagonally, and the 2.7-meter-long standard knight's gun, with its huge horsepower, penetrated the back of the dozens of heavy infantry without any stagnation - no matter how good the heavy armor is, it is the focus of defense.
On the front, as for the back, most of the standard heavy armor is just a layer of rope armor.
In less than 10 breaths, the orc who had just made a human flesh fork 100 meters ahead was nailed to the ground in the form of a human flesh fork, but in the opposite direction.
The knights on horseback were at least half taller and smaller than the Ursine warriors. The knights threw down their war spears and just pulled out their bayonet swords from their waists. Whoosh - whoosh - the centaur fired straight at the white arrow feathers. In an instant, killing people.
The target then became a moving target.
A distance of 100 meters is the death line for centaur archers. The white arrow feathers only need half a breath. At such a short distance, centaur archers can even hit the falling leaves. At least half of the knights are shot by dozens of arrows at the same time.
The arrow feathers hit, and the powerful arrow feathers penetrated from the body that lost life in a moment, and the white feathers were not even red with blood.
After a moment's pause, lines of blood shot out simultaneously from the blood holes pierced by the corpses flying in the air.
"Assassination!" The last squad leader survived only because the blue feathers on his head were shot off in the first round of arrow feathers. At this time, there was no time left for him to be afraid.
He shouted an order, leaned sideways on the horse, and stabbed the long stabbing sword in his hand hard into the lower back of a bear-man warrior.
His good luck ended here. No matter how tough a human being is, if his lower back is penetrated deeply, he will definitely lose his fighting power and fall to the ground in an instant. Unfortunately, he is facing a bear warrior, and with a loud roar,
The bear man turned around with all his strength - not caring that the sudden twisting would cause irreparable damage to the body with the stabbing sword. He grabbed the knight's sword-holding hand and tore the knight off the horse. The silver armor changed in an instant.
It became the raw material of the armor. The war horse without the control of the knight crashed into the bear man's arms. The 0.3-meter-long silver steel spikes on the horse's head made a harsh noise, and all of them sank into the bear man's chest. When he was dying, the bear man tore to pieces.
War horse neck.
When the subsequent knights rushed up, they saw only the mutilated corpses of more than 200 knights and more than 300 heavy infantry.
The centaur archers still showed extraordinary combat power far beyond their human counterparts. In the chaos, they were blocked by their own tall heavy infantry. However, in just 7 or 8 breaths, they shot down at least hundreds of knights and at least the same number.
War horses, against the Snow Moon Legion, can have such a record, it is enough to be staggering if they win against any country. At the same moment, the Thousand Bears team has lost more than half - the destruction of the Snow Moon Legion's light knights
The strength is astonishing. Without the protection of the giant shield, no matter how brave the Ursine warrior is, it is impossible to resist the knights who are charging together.
When the first snow-white war horse broke into the Fanos camp, the good luck of the centaur archers came to an abrupt end.
The silver battle spear penetrated through the centaur's handsome, long and straight neck, and the torn carotid artery sprayed red blood outside like spring water. The flowing mane rolled in the blood and instantly lost its elegance. Immediately, more than 4,000 knights came up like a slap.
…
At this moment, the famous Flower of Fanos camp collapsed!
The light infantry werewolf warrior in the back row threw away the simple small shield in his hand, and ran back with his forelimbs on the ground in fear; the earth dragon knight only hesitated for a moment, and 1/4 of the knights were completely submerged by the snow waves, leaving the earth dragon knight.
The knight did not dare to stay any longer, turned his mount and fled westward.
The enemy's commander-in-chief led the Guards still wanted to maintain the formation. A huge wave roared up to the Snow Moon Knights and washed away at least a hundred warriors. Barbas and the light infantry camp also arrived in the blink of an eye. The middle-aged mercenaries leaped up.
The sword with both sharp hands slashed hard, and the coach was in a panic and his men and horses were chopped into two pieces - Barbas cursed in a low voice: "His grandma's is a human being!"
The army was defeated like a mountain!
No matter how brave a warrior is, on the battlefield, as long as his own side is defeated, he will have to run away desperately. The flower of Fanos, the most brave mercenary empire, has completely collapsed, and... there is no room for improvement.
When there is a huge difference in combat power, it is already a mistake to mistakenly equate the Snow Moon Legion's combat power with ordinary mercenaries and blindly expect to fight against the Amy Empire's most elite troops in regular battles.
It can't be wrong. If such a war can be won, there will be no reason for it. Moreover, in the war, the speed of the knight's charge was ignored, and the combat power of the heavy infantry was easily highlighted in the position. Such an unreasonable use of troops.
Put an end to the defeat.
"Chase!" The three captains issued the same order without any discussion.
After crossing the hill, the hillside naturally gathered up to form a concave hillside. The branch road of the mainland highway went straight from the hillside to the bottom of the hillside valley. The retreating Fanos soldiers threw their weapons, military flags, camping supplies, etc. on the ground indiscriminately, and the 300 people who ran at the front
Several Centaur archers were already panting as they rushed down the road into the valley. The only ones running at the back were more than 100 Ursine warriors who were still making their final resistance.
The Snow Moon knights roared without stopping at all. The slender stabbing swords penetrated the backs of the bear warriors. Following the power of the horse's sprint, they pulled out their long swords and ran towards the new target with their arms held high. The light infantry surrounded them tightly.
Following it, and behind it is the swordsman camp.
At the moment when the Swordsman Battalion rushed down the hillside into the canyon, they suddenly heard the sound of drums as dense as raindrops. The orcs who were fleeing in embarrassment suddenly turned around and chopped with all their strength, from the groves on both sides of the valley.
In an instant, tens of thousands of soldiers appeared, and then more than 30 kilograms of rocks were fired from the other side of the mountain. The rocks flew 200 meters and then landed, using the remaining momentum to hit the head of the canyon along the hillside.
go……
Ambush!
A thought flashed through the minds of the three imperial captains at the same time.
The Snow Moon knights were suddenly hit by a rain of arrows from both sides of the valley, and watched helplessly as the last small group of enemies slipped away from their eyes. Before they had time to regret, countless boulders and logs roared down on the valley, and the first few fell.
The ten knights were unable to dodge and were hit by the thunder stone.
Qi Lieluoge turned around and saw Baron Ye Mingbo: "Ye Mingbo, you go back and gather the infantry, I will gather the knights, form a crescent moon formation, and defend on the spot!"
The three captains had the same idea: If they were blocked by the enemy at both ends and rushed out in a panic, they would surely be premeditated and shoot more soldiers. The two sections of the valley were more than 700 meters wide, so it was better to defend on the spot.
After rectification, it will be highlighted with all its strength.
…
The ambush plan was jointly customized by the Holy Holy See and the Eastern Legion of Fanos. To be more precise, it was a strategy formulated at the strong request of the Holy Holy See.
His Majesty the Pope is clearly aware that whether the surprise attack on Scambrai is successful or not, the northern federal Eastern Expeditionary Force must be eliminated in the shortest possible time, otherwise... no one will be at ease with such a tiger at home. Once the imperial capital is attacked
, the Imperial Military Department will inevitably send Phantom Beast Knights or even Dragon Knights to notify the main forces of the Empire to carry out large-scale retaliation in the shortest possible time. Therefore, January 31st became the final node of the plan.
At the strong request of the Holy See, the Eastern Legion of Fanos gave up on continuing to encircle and suppress the defeated mercenary empire, and mobilized three main legions from the legion with a total of 19,000 soldiers to participate in this battle. According to the plan, all troops were ready on January 24
Gather in the northern part of the Fairy Forest.
Originally, the commanders of the three armies of Fanos, including the Flower of Fanos, and the more than 20 thousand-man leaders did not even bother to ambush. Based on previous experience, a Bearman Thousand-Man Team could easily conquer three times the number.
Compared to our own human army, such a huge disparity in combat power makes no need for an ambush.
However, when the three army commanders lurked near the northern federal military camp and observed it for two hours, they all withdrew with gloomy expressions.
There is only one small hill in the southern part of Huayu Plain, and this became the final ambush place.
According to the idea of Officer Fanos, use the high-speed moving Centaur archers to kill and slaughter a few more human villages. They will never worry about the rampaging human soldiers not catching up. Unfortunately, this is only their idea. From the Ice and Snow Continent.
The enemy was extremely calm, and the Thousand Centaur troops were almost beaten by the high-speed Xueyue Legion Qingqi.
At the last moment, the three officers of Fanos had no choice but to cut off their wrists and mobilized a thousand-man team from each of the three legions to lead the enemy into an ambush. For the commanders of each legion, setting off a thousand-man team was simply cutting flesh from themselves.
, of course no one is willing to bear such a big loss alone.
The three legion commanders were all mentally prepared to sacrifice part of their troops, but they did not expect that the damage caused to them by the enemy was still far greater than expected. The heavy infantry team would be eighty-nine out of ten, and the light infantry would be sixty-seven out of ten. The fastest
The Centaur Thousand Troops have gone from ten to seventy-eight. The only thing that makes the three legion commanders happy is that the newly formed Orc Dragon Knights suffered relatively small losses - escaping during the war is definitely a dishonorable thing, but now the three legions
However, the legion commander could only secretly rejoice that thanks to the good behavior of the leader of the Earthly Dragon Knights, otherwise he would have been beaten by a meat bun.
Looking at the rapidly gathering northern federal soldiers, the Fanos officers on both sides of the valley road simultaneously ordered the centaur archers to scatter. White arrow feathers fell overwhelmingly. After a few breaths, the valley seemed to have fallen into a blizzard, and it was all white.
However, tens of thousands of imperial soldiers' shields neatly formed two temporary shield walls, which blocked 20 rounds of scattering. No more than 100 imperial soldiers actually fell under the scattering bows and arrows. In the middle of the shield formation, you can even see senior officers of the empire walking along.
Walk along the valley road to observe the military situation on the hillsides on both sides.
The commander of the Fifth Army on the hillside on the south side couldn't help but want to test it out. He waved his hand and raised two flags high. A Bear Man Troop and a Werewolf Thousand Troop were arranged in four rows, two in front and two behind.
.
First, they knocked down hundreds of huge rolling rocks in succession, followed closely by two thousand-man troops, who headed towards the Langcang Valley.
The soldiers of the Northern Federation did not attack rashly - 50 meters further forward was already the effective shooting range of the Centaur.
Bang——
The thousands of black bear troops crashed into the silver phalanx like a rolling iron stream. In an instant, hundreds of square shields were kited by the thick maces, and large areas of red and milky mist slammed towards them.
Scattered in all directions, human limbs and even entire bodies were then shot into the sky by maces. The severely injured soldiers used their square shields to block the maces in vain, but no one dodge.
On the hillsides on both sides, you can clearly see the black block quickly swallowing up a large piece of white block. Just as the commander on the north side was about to raise the flag and launch an attack on the other side, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly.
When the imperial commander on the south side saw that the soldiers from both sides were completely mixed together and no longer had to worry about indiscriminate shooting from a distance, they immediately ordered the light infantry to attack. As soon as the war drums sounded, the first reaction of all the light infantry was to round the shields in their hands.
Smashing at the enemy, he rushed up with red eyes, not caring about the huge mace, halberd, and scimitar in front of him. He stabbed out fiercely, and his arm was broken. He put his broken arm around the bear man's waist and was broken.
He lay on the ground with his legs broken and clasped his hands on the enemy's leg armor. The scimitar in his hand kept inserting and pulling out along the seams of the armor.
"Lie down!" the imperial officer behind ordered loudly.
