799 Attack
In the eyes of a passionate woman, no matter what a man does, he is the best. Even if a man goes to sweep the toilet, it is also a kind of exercise in their eyes.
Beta and one hundred professionals stayed at the last.
People with strength like Beta generally have to appear on the front line at least. After all, as long as a magician is on the battlefield, he can always exert his strong strength.
Leaving a powerful mage behind is actually a disguised suppression.
Everyone understands this truth. But Langyas used one hundred professionals as subordinates of Beta and used the reason to protect the commander camp to make this suppression less obvious. Everyone knows that Langyas might be suppressing Beta, but no one thinks it is wrong.
Except Tina.
Beta was also one of the people who didn't care. He knew he would be suppressed, and who called him an outsider. But he knew better that his contribution could not be erased. He could see more that Langyas was also worried. He clearly had a strong professional here, but he could not use it at will. After all, he could not really believe it. As a commander, he felt that the feeling of depression was even more unbearable.
If an ordinary commander encounters this situation, he will definitely send people to the battlefield without hesitation.
But in addition to being the commander, Langyas is also one of the top leaders of the Sanctuary.
He has to think more about the 'big picture'.
War is essentially an extension of politics.
Beta fully implemented Langyas's order. He led a hundred professionals to stay near the commander's tent.
The commander camp is in a relatively high terrain, so that it can take a look at the situation of the battlefield. Beta and the others stay on a small hill two hundred meters away from the big string music.
There is nothing on this mountain, only yellow grassland, and the terrain is much higher than the commander's tent. On the battlefield, you can see people garrisoning here from afar.
"They are using us as bait." A soldier sat on the grass, looking at the commander's tent hidden in the bushes not far away, and said unhappily.
After reaching the hills over there, he immediately used his magic to move some trees and grass over to cover the tent of the commander's camp in a relatively secret way. In this way, Langyas could observe the battlefield through the gaps between plants and trees, but the enemy might not be able to find his place.
Beta appreciated Langyas' hidden consciousness very much, but he may not have much favorable feelings for his behavior of using his own people as bait.
Although there will always be such bait on the battlefield, and the selected troops will be unlucky, when Beta is playing the bait, he always leads his troops himself.
There is an essential difference between ‘Give me’ and ‘Give me’.
Of course, the practice of the Cardinal Archbishop is actually nothing wrong. In this world, there will not be too many generals willing to lead the way. His practice is normal, but it is natural for others to feel unhappy.
"We are outsiders after all. The Holy Land is unwilling to let us make achievements in military achievements, and put us in such a dangerous bait position. To be honest, I really want to go back to be a mercenary again."
A middle-aged mercenary soldier sighed like this.
His statement has aroused the recognition of many people.
Beta said at this time: "But this is easier than being a mercenary, right? Besides, we are just acting as bait, but in fact, the danger is really not as great as the warriors on the front line."
In this world, whether a person listens to what he says depends on whether he has strength.
Power, money, its own power.
Everyone could see that the young man in front of him was all involved in all three things. He was a nobleman, and the nobleman would definitely not be poor. Then no one would think that he was weak if he had his own strength and could fight against the paladins.
So as soon as Beta's words came out, the mercenaries calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, they also felt that Beta's words made sense.
Although it is a bit like a mother who is not close to her or a uncle who loves her, at least it is not so dangerous. It has only been a long time since the bait mission has appeared.
If I were in the mercenary world, I would have long since experienced many life-and-death kills.
Whether people feel happy often needs comparison. Professionals feel that they are regarded as outsiders in the sacred realm, so they feel quite wronged. But when compared with those colleagues who are still rolling in the mud of the mercenary world, they suddenly feel that their lives seem not bad now.
Seeing that the pros have no commotion, Beta smiled slightly.
Although he himself doesn't like being someone else's bait, the situation is already done. Instead of complaining here, it's better to cheer up and deal with this task well and try to survive.
Among the crowd, a middle-aged archer nodded slightly, very satisfied with Beta's behavior.
Beta and others waited on the hill for a while, and then saw a small flag appear in the commander's tent, and waved it a few times. Then, a larger flag appeared on the hill not far away, and the same color was drawn.
Then, on the front line, another larger military flag was waving.
Transitive command?
Seeing this scene, Beta had a more intuitive understanding of Langyas's caution. Doing this way can prevent the commander's tent from being discovered. Besides, Beta and others stayed on the highest hill as bait, which was very obvious.
As the military flag waved, the three central army corps moved slowly upwards.
These three legions each have nearly 20,000 people, and then there is a legion on each side of the left and right flanks to control the formation. The legion on the right wing is still a cavalry of nearly 4,000 people.
On the opposite side, there are also seven legions, each of which has a slightly smaller number, but the total number is approximately the same as that of the Divine Cult Army of Light.
The combined forces of both sides are almost 200,000.
If militias such as logistics are added, the number will be about 300,000.
This is the mobilization power of superpowers, and this is still a local war.
Compared with Frans, Holevin's war was almost an armed battle at the county magistrate level. The total number of people on the battlefield was tens of thousands, which was already amazing.
The three vanguards of the Temple of Light Army were pressing forward, and the heavy infantry with white armor and white shields held their spears and stepped step by step. Every step they took was almost on the drum beat.
When there is not more than 20,000 people stepping on the ground at the same time, even if there is no force, the 20,000 footsteps are mixed together, and the sound is heavy and heavy. Each step seems like a muffled thunder coming from the sky.
Behind the infantry there was a drum band of about a hundred people. Under the protection of the shield soldiers, they beat the drums at the right rhythm. The infantry advanced according to their drum beat time.
A legion of 20,000 people cannot command well on the battlefield by relying on shouting. It must have special means, such as flag orders, and such drum beats.
Behind the drum band is a small number of archers. The God of Light is not good at cultivating archers, so most of the archers are recruited by the civilians and not trained on a large scale, so the number of people is definitely less than there.
Behind them are the special troops of the Temple of Light, a low-level priest who is in charge of the army.
These priests of the army were wearing heavy armor, holding square towers and one-handed hammers, and could charge into battle, cast spells and attack, protect, and then manage friendly forces in the army.
It can be said that the military priest has the strongest comprehensive ability besides cavalry.
Even if there are not many heavy cavalry, it is not easy to penetrate a army priest army with more than a thousand people.
Three standard Legions of the Temple of Light pressed upwards, and every step forward puts great pressure on the enemy.
On the other side of Gruer, five of the seven legions faced the army of the Light God, but when they were about to take over the enemy, they stopped.
The infantry in the front row squatted down, and the archers behind him pressed over to the Divine Cult Army with a rain of arrows.
At least ten thousand arrows took off at the same time, and the black moist landed like a blanket, and then fell into the formation of the three temples of light in parabola.
Standing on the high hillside in the distance, the professions couldn't help swallowing when they saw this scene.
The soldiers and infantry of the Divine Cult Army had already raised their shields above their heads, and the robes in front of and behind them also raised their iron shields above their heads and pressed them against each other, like tiles on the roof.
Tiles can block rain, and the "roof" composed purely of shields can naturally prevent arrow rain.
These arrows fell on the shield and were bounced away. There were only a few unlucky people who were injured by the leaked arrows because of some gaps between the shields.
The army of the Divine Cult continues to move forward without stopping.
After Gruer's leader continued to test two waves of arrows, he saw that there was no effect, the archers began to retreat, while the infantry stood up.
The middle legion of Gruer began to retreat slowly, while the four legions on both sides dispersed left and right and moved forward.
It will be in the shape of a U-shaped army, surrounding the three Light Divine Divine Army.
Beta was a little surprised to see this scene on the hillside. Why did he still break into it even though he knew that the other party was going to make dumplings? What was Langyas' plan to do?
At this moment, Beta found that the cavalry regiment on the right wing of the Temple of Light had moved. They cashed at full speed from the right side, rushed directly to the enemy for a moment, and rushed in with the gap created by the right wing legion.
"So it was my idea." Beta understood.
Generally speaking, when surrounding the enemy, you must accelerate and shrink the defense line, and the opponent is all infantry. It is easy to be incompatible between the legions on the flank and the legions in charge of surrounding the legions.
Then there was a gap in the front.
The cavalry's mobility was too strong, and four thousand cavalrymen rushed into the gap against the people, like a gust of wind attacking the enemy's rear front.
Although the enemy's defense was stunned, he tried his best to get over, he was still one step late and only saw the dust raised by the cavalry.
"The people in Gruer are all idiots." A mercenary who knew a little about battlefield command saw this scene and smiled: "The next thing is the cavalry that breaks through the enemy's camp. Victory is within reach."
Beta smiled: "Not necessarily."
