Extras Dark Tales - Heroes, Destiny(1/2)

At the sound of the bugle, the first wave of Welsh troops advanced. This wave of troops included an infantry phalanx composed of 10,000 soldiers, and another 10,000 light and heavy assault infantry hidden behind the phalanx. They were able to get the second

The attack wave was supported by archery troops. Lieutenant General Glens watched the battlefield closely. He hoped that the first attack wave could open two or three gaps in the Sibia Army's defense line so that it could be divided and the Sibia Army would be destroyed.

The Guards entered the battle in advance, and after the entire front fell into a melee, the second wave of attacks came forward to clean up the mess.

When the strength of the troops is roughly one to two, the earlier the melee enters, the more advantageous it will be to the side with more people. The Sibia Infantry Corps lacks experience and combat effectiveness. Although the emperor personally commands the formation, the lieutenant general believes that once

If their front is broken through by their own troops, the opponent's infantry regiment will immediately collapse. In the entire battle concept, the only thing that the lieutenant general has concerns about is the opponent's Guards, so in terms of troop deployment, he will be in the first wave of attack.

Both wings were equipped with the most elite infantry phalanxes. No matter which direction the Guards attacked from, they would be seeking death.

Even if they succeed in the assault and the first attack wave collapses, the Lieutenant General will still have the power to defeat the opponent - to a certain extent, the Lieutenant General even hopes that the opponent will do this. The Sibia Guards will definitely attack. The Lieutenant General will consider

What he wanted was to minimize his own casualties during the assault. If possible, he also hoped that the organized troops would survive the first wave of attacks.

The distance between the two armies was shortened to four miles!

On the battlefield at this time, in the eyes of the commanders of both sides, the opponent's troop deployment was clear at a glance. All 30,000 Sibia infantrymen were in a line, with pikemen as the forerunner, and other arms as follow-up to form a solid line of defense.

There is another thousand infantry as a defense line reserve. Three thousand light cavalry are waiting on the left wing, and the most powerful Guards are also behind the defense line. They number about 8,000. There are about a thousand Guards on the hill where the headquarters is located.

, and more than a thousand winged flying troops have not yet appeared.

Seeing that Cohen Keda put the Guards behind the formation, and the infantry regiment entered the battlefield in that strange way, the lieutenant general was confused for a moment, and then vaguely understood Cohen Keda's intention - Sibi

The demi-humans must have laid a large number of traps behind the position. On the one hand, they prevented their side from forming a quick breakthrough. On the other hand, they also cut off the infantry regiment's retreat, forcing them to fight to the end. Emperor Sibia was also so cold-blooded towards his own soldiers.

What a day!

Now that he saw the opponent's intention, the lieutenant general immediately made adjustments to the troops and ordered the second wave of attacks to be prepared for both sides. When the battle situation is stalemate, he must be able to bypass the opponent's defense line and defend the opponent's guards in place.

Army assault. At the same time, order the first attack wave to prepare for a fierce battle, try to find opportunities to drive the enemy infantry from one side, and do not make a gesture of total annihilation. The enemy infantry running around the battlefield will block both sides of the enemy's Guards.

If it is one of the attack lines, then our defense will be much easier.

Because Sibia's Guards have a fatal flaw, they are not specially trained heavy cavalry. Even if their personnel have very good combat qualities and can be used as heavy cavalry in emergencies, their horses are temporarily equipped with armored stomachs.

But it can only impact once!

As long as this impact does not affect the overall situation, the following things will be much easier to handle.

I have an elite army of 70,000 under my command, but for some reason, Sibia's army only has 10,000 guards and 30,000 second-rate infantry to fight. This time Sibia's army does not have all the advantages it had before! This is a gift from God.

The opportunity given to Lieutenant General Glens is also an opportunity given to the Demon Alliance.

The distance between the two armies was shortened to three miles!

Cohen Keda, who was under the military flag, jumped off the horse, took off his helmet and gloves, rummaged around on the ground, finally pulled a few weeds, and got on the horse again in the astonished eyes of others, carefully cleaning the grass roots.

He put the white grass roots in his mouth and chewed them slowly... Although he was calm on the surface, he had to be nervous about this war in his heart.

The 30,000 troops participating in the attack on Camp failed to arrive on the battlefield. Cohen could only mobilize the same number of Guards to supplement the Camp theater. These 30,000 Guards were originally intended to deal with the Welsh army.

Once they are transferred, in order to ensure their combat effectiveness and equip them with combat equipment, the magician brigade and even the special military services will accompany them to Camp. However, the reserve team of 30,000 people used to fill up the number only has the minimum

Standard armament.

Now, Cohen does not have a flying army that can suppress the opponent. The only magician brigade can only provide basic magical protection for himself, and there is not a sufficient number of catapults. If he wants to win, he can only rely on Cohen's superb skills.

command ability.

The distance between the two armies has been shortened to two miles!

Outside the strike range of the catapult, the Welsh army stopped, partly to take a rest, and partly to remove the shield from the catapult - this kind of shield is heavier than ordinary shields, and it really requires a line of defense.

The soldiers would not be exhausted even if they walked five miles, so they were usually transported by carriages accompanying the team. Before approaching the enemy, the soldiers at the back would hold them, and they would be handed over to the frontline soldiers just before the battle. Only from this point of view

, it can also be seen that the Welsh Army's tactical drills are already quite proficient.

In this short period of time, the sound of bugles stopped, and the air above the battlefield seemed to solidify. Soldiers on both sides knew what was waiting for them, and they spent the last time cheering themselves up. Wells's army

, the army priest was praying for the soldiers; and under a military flag, the infantrymen were breathing rapidly, and their hands were gradually moistened with sweat.

"May all creatures in heaven and earth fear you, and may the inhabitants of the world trust you, King of Darkness!" At the moment when they moved their steps again, tens of thousands of people in the Welsh Army prayed in unison, "Your voice resounded across the water, and thunder thundered in

Show your majesty. You come from high heaven to watch the descendants under your authority; from your majestic throne, you inspect the common people of the earth!"

"That was the last madness of a group of scum!" In the Sibia formation, the officers explained this behavior in their own way. "The Sibia army won the battle by itself. They never talked about these ladies when they went to the battlefield.

That stuff!"

"We are always proud of the monarch we serve, and we will sing your name forever and ever. We praise you because you saved us." The Wells military formation continued to approach, and the prayer became clearer and louder.

Great, "When the enemy comes against us, he falls down and expires. Although a great army attacks us, our hearts do not tremble. We lift up our heads and despise the great enemies around us; we will offer sacrifices of joy in his tabernacle."

!O Dark Lord, our Lord! We will sing your praises on the altar of our enemies!”

Behind the Sibia military formation, only twenty catapults began to operate. The pulleys rotated, the ropes were tightened, the wooden cantilevers "squeaked", and the special stone bullets were put up - and then, a huge magic barrier

Appeared in the sky above both armies at the same time, each shrouding their own troops.

There was a smile on the corner of Cohen Keda's mouth, and with a wave of his hand, the light cavalry on the left wing of Sibia's army was dispatched. The three thousand light cavalry moved forward slowly and came to a place slightly in front of the front line. This situation immediately caused Glens on the opposite side to

The Lieutenant General is so concerned that it is completely unreasonable to mobilize the light cavalry at this time!

The lieutenant general's mind was spinning, starting from the mobilization of light cavalry. The tactics that Sibia might use in the future emerged in his mind one by one, and his own army's response strategies were also completed one by one. Before the battle started, he had already calculated a dozen

He used the opponent's tactical combination and eliminated the opponent's use of light cavalry, so he decided to ignore it. The first wave of the Welsh Army advanced as planned!

The sound of war drums rang out in the Siby's army, and three thousand light cavalry suddenly started to gallop along their own front, rushing from the left to the right. The rapid movement of the cavalry stirred up a lot of dust, which made it difficult for Wales to see the details of the enemy's line.

Situation - This was a change of battle position. The Welsh army responded immediately, and the archery troops in the second wave also began to move.

"Look, Lieutenant General!" A staff officer pointed to the rear of Sibia's army formation, "Their Guards are moving!"

In fact, no one needs to remind him. Lieutenant General Glens also saw a lot of dust rising behind the enemy's rear. It seemed that the Sibia people were going to attack first with the Guards. What did they have to rely on? How dare they

Taking such a risk? The lieutenant general had to treat this problem cautiously. But after calculation, the lieutenant general still maintained the original tactics. Even if the Sibia Guards broke through one wing of the first wave and fought before the second wave, they

Nor can sustained combat effectiveness be guaranteed.

The sound of the war drums of the Sibiya army changed, and the catapults began to attack. Sixty flaming stone bombs flew into the sky, dragging thick black smoke, and smashed towards the Welsh army head-on.

"Raise your shields—slow down!" A military order came from the square formation. Layers of shields formed a tight defense. Most of the flaming stone bullets were bounced away, and a few hit the open space. Although they caused a continuous fire, they did not have any impact on Will.

The Sri Lankan army caused substantial damage. Cosibia's trebuchets did not make adjustments because of this, and tried their best to weave a wall of fire at the maximum range - the Cosibia people wanted to separate the two opponents with a wall of fire in the main direction.

Attack waves!

Cohen, who was under the flag of the army, waved his hand again, and the archers in the infantry square raised their bows and arrows. The shooting commander looked at the flag of the headquarters and shouted, "All marked to nine knots, hold on, hold on, hold on -

put!"

Countless long bows vibrated, and countless feathered arrows screamed. These Sibian arrows, which frightened the entire continental army, flew according to the owner's will. They were triangular in shape, long and short in the shape of spikes, all silver arrowheads, and gray shafts.

, Black Feather, played a song of killing!

This was not comparable to the scale of arrow rain last night. No matter how high the morale was, it could not add thickness to the armor on the body. The advancing Welsh army's formation was stagnant, and the infantry square formation was on the spot.

Hundreds of people fell!

As soon as they had recovered from the first wave of arrows, Sbia's second wave of arrows was approaching. The Wells phalanx immediately formed a shield wall and brought the assault infantry behind under the protection of the shield wall in order to attack the enemy.

Try to reduce casualties before engaging the enemy. At this time, Lieutenant General Glenns was faced with a major decision. Hand-to-hand combat was about to begin. He had to choose a main assault direction for the front-line troops.

Either left or right. If you choose the right choice, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you choose not, you will suffer heavy casualties. If you choose the wrong choice, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

The Sbia light cavalry, which moved laterally to the right wing, began to attack. They used bows and arrows to continuously attack the Welsh right wing infantry phalanx, especially the pikemen phalanx that Lieutenant General Glens had high hopes for. It was definitely not appropriate to carry out such a focused attack.

There is no reason, they are probably preparing for the attack of the Guards behind them.

Seeing that a charge was about to be launched on the front line, Lieutenant General Glens knew that he could not hesitate. He had to judge which side the Guards would attack from. There were a sufficient number of pikemen on both wings, but if they wanted to suppress the cavalry charge, they had to

Deploy the defense in place and adjust the direction to protect the entire front. If you can no longer commit to the attack, the focus of the attack must be on the other side.

The smoke and dust billowed behind the Sibia army formation, and it was impossible to tell where the Guards were. They had eight thousand Guards, and they were fully capable of attacking the first wave of troops from the flanks... The lieutenant general weighed the overall situation and finally made the decision of his life.

the most important decision.

Attack across the board, attack from the right wing!

The bow and arrow attack of the Sbia light cavalry is definitely a smoke that confuses you! The first wave of left-wing pikemen closely protects the left wing of the battle line, and at the same time mobilizes the second batch of pikemen to rush forward to protect the flank of the first wave; the archery troops quickly

Move in to expel the enemy's cavalry; the general reserve force moves forward in advance, preparing to bypass the enemy's front line and attack the enemy from behind when the second attack wave is engaged.

This was a prudent decision. Lieutenant General Glenns placed heavy troops on the right wing because he was sure that the enemy Guards would rush out from the left wing. On the one hand, the enemy's light cavalry had already occupied the Guards' attack position.

If the army wanted to attack from here, the light cavalry would have to give up their territory and stay away from the battle line. However, the shrewd Emperor Sbia would never let his elite archers leave the battle line.

"Ciceria!" With an order, the Welsh Army began its full-line assault. Under the guidance of dozens of ram chariots, a shield wall composed of nearly 10,000 phalanx infantry came like a mountain to oppress the Siberian Army.

, footsteps were booming, killing sounds were rising into the sky, the ground was shaking, and the air was getting hotter and hotter, but Wells’ real murderous intent was the tens of thousands of assault infantry hidden under the shield wall!

"Good judgment." Under the military flag, Cohen Keda spit out the grass roots that he had chewed to no avail, "Guards attack, right wing!"

The person he praised was, of course, the opponent's commander. Apart from anything else, Lieutenant General Glens' ability to adapt to situations was already quite good. There is no doubt that if this was a normal battle, the decision he made would be

It can gain an advantage in the war. But in this battle, the judgment made by Lieutenant General Glens will not have any impact on the battle situation. Because the eight thousand Guardsmen who can turn the tide of the battle have not moved at the same place.

Pass.

The smoke and dust in the sky is just a special effect created by hundreds of logistics carriages dragging tree branches. The parallel movement of the light cavalry's battle lines is also aimed at deepening the opponent's sense of doubt. What Cohen is waiting for is the opponent's key attack - he knows

The Guards could only attack once, and he did not intend to let the Guards hold on to attack a second time. Lieutenant General Glens would never have thought that Cohen would not need three thousand light cavalry to support the battlefield from the front in this battle.
To be continued...
