While the command post of the Demonic Alliance Army was moving forward, the Divine Alliance Army was holding a very large family recognition meeting.
"Which tribe are you from? Fujison's? Go over there."
"What about you? I'm the one who's talking to Sethus? Go and report to a big man under that wall over there!"
"Hey! Rock! Come and bring these half-orc brothers to your team!"
The officers, big and small, were busy allocating the slaves who had just defected. Speaking of which, Tokorn often did strange things. Otherwise, how could his officers have such adaptability?
Nearly 10,000 slave soldiers were divided up level by level in this way. For tactical considerations, they were enriched to the front line. Each slave soldier was designated to follow a godly coalition soldier of the same race as himself.
The slaves were uneasy. They didn't know what they were about to face. Will they be thrown into the dungeon collectively, or would they be captured and beheaded? Unexpectedly, the people running around were all members of the same race as themselves, and these guys all had faces.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Seeing the dull-looking slave soldiers, the soldiers of the Divine Alliance greeted them affectionately, held their hands and dragged them away.
"Ahem! Brother, what's your name? Where do you live? Really! It's not far from our home..."
"Brother, don't be downcast! Just come here. It's delicious, drinkable and fun to follow our commander! Although the situation is almost there now, it's temporary. You don't know how powerful our commander is. As long as you listen to Cohen
Sir, we can walk sideways wherever we go..."
"Did you see? The one with the flower on his collar is our boss. He is the second lieutenant. We all obey him... Did you see the armband on my shoulder? This is the sign of a noncommissioned officer! Now I am your boss. You have to
listen to me……"
"Don't cry, orcs only bleed but don't shed tears! My name is Rock, and I am Commander Cohen's soldier. The commander told you to follow me, so just stay with me. You can do whatever I do. You will never be hungry if I have a bite to eat.
!”
The soldiers of the Divine Alliance took no time to communicate with these slaves. After being in Cohen's army for a long time, ordinary soldiers, even if they are not yet eloquent, are still good at telling lies and confusing people... without even looking at their commanders.
What kind of virtue is it?
"What? War supervising team? We don't have that kind of thing in our army. We are all comrades behind us! If you are injured in the front, the brothers behind you will snatch you back!"
"We have a military law department and a law enforcement team. If you violate military regulations, you will be arrested by the military judge and have a heart-to-heart talk. You can ask our squad leader about this. He came back with his butt touched last time."
"Yes! The order was given directly by the commander. You are not familiar with it yet, so just follow me. We are all brothers, and I will take care of you. You're welcome..."
"Don't be afraid. The fight will start soon. Brother, I have armor in front of me. You can stab me with a gun right next to me! No, it's from this side. Look, if I do this, you will do this. If I do this, you will do this.
that's all……"
For these frightened slaves, although they are still on the battlefield, although they still have to fight against others...but the familiar local accent and nostalgia are so warm and peaceful.
Although the treatment here is not good, it is much better than in the Demon Alliance Army. You can have whatever you have, and you can stay wherever the superiors stay. Even if a slave accidentally bursts into tears,
He would only be patted on the shoulder and comforted by the commander who was also full of tears.
This is clearly the difference between the two armies.
"Attention!" After a while, officers at all levels loudly ordered, "The enemy is approaching, prepare to fight!"
On the position, the soldiers clenched their weapons and stared straight ahead. At the front of the position, the veterans were whispering the most important things to the brothers around them.
The twenty-seventh legion of the Demonic Alliance Army was arranged neatly and was already approaching.
The command post was extremely busy, with messengers from the demon alliance coming in and out, bringing various news to their commander.
"Report sir! The first batch of the 27th Legion is up!"
"Reporting to the commander! The 27th Legion attacked for the first time, two regiments went up!"
"Reporting to the commander! Three attack batches of the 27th Legion are ready!"
The lieutenant general walked to the city wall and looked up. His own dark army was almost rushing to the enemy's formation.
"Tell the 27th Legion to control the attack intervals between batches!"
As soon as the lieutenant general gave this order, the God's Allied Forces had already begun firing rounds of bows and arrows!
Because the distance is quite close, and the formation of the demon alliance is relatively tight, this kind of blow is fatal. A large number of approaching demon alliance forces were shot to the ground, and those who survived had to face various traps of the divine alliance.
After the test, the two regiments in front of them had only a few shrimps left out of 5,000 and rushed into the enemy's position.
But the soldiers of the Demon Alliance have always been known for their ferocity, not to mention that these soldiers are from the 27th Legion. They are infantry who ride on the battlefield! They are called glorious fighters, and not just anyone can get these special treatments.
That was won through strength. Even if there is only one person left, they will fight to the end.
Hundreds of fighters who survived the first batch of attacks shouted "Siceria!" and rushed into the Divine Alliance's position with ferocity on their faces.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the Divine Alliance Army at the front of the position shouted and rushed forward. These soldiers are not easy to mess with. They are also not soft-footed shrimps. Their commander is called Cohen. They have now become the most powerful in the entire Divine Alliance Army.
Pulling soldiers!
For the soldiers under Cohen, they had been leading the Demon Alliance by the nose during the Camp Strangulation War. After several months of continuous fighting, the mystery of the Demon Alliance was long gone.
Soldiers are also made of flesh and blood. With one strike, they will fall down and die completely! These few people are just used to move around and set an example for the brothers who just ran over.
The soldiers of the demon alliance knew that they were going to die, so they didn't leave any backup plan as soon as they came forward. They didn't even try to parry the enemy's stabbing weapons, they just stabbed the enemy in the chest with their knives!
What came out of the Divine Alliance Army were spearmen. These soldiers had good armor and quick reactions. And before they came out, the commander said that this confrontation was all about momentum! The heart must be ruthless, and the hands must be dark! If you fight hard to get a knife, it's also
We must kill all the enemy troops!
The troops from both sides collided with each other with guns and knives, shouting and shouting. Immediately, a burst of people fell on their backs on the front line, and blood splashed everywhere amidst the sound of metal biting each other. After paying the price of nearly a hundred casualties, the Divine Alliance forces rushed in
All enemy troops in the position will be dismembered!
The limbs of the Demon Alliance soldiers were hung on the tips of their spears and shook. The injured soldiers were still shouting crazily when they were carried off.
"I've killed two more! Two more! I'll go down and take care of you... You bastards need to be guarded by me!"
"They are good!" The non-commissioned officers and officers lost no time in encouraging their subordinate soldiers, "Be calm and steady! If you kill a few demon soldiers, you can call yourself me!"
The slaves who defected learned their first lesson in the blood and rude language.
Seeing the five thousand soldiers under his command being annihilated on the enemy's battlefield, the lieutenant general's brain was spinning rapidly, and a whole team of messengers were waiting for orders beside him.
"Order! The second and third batches of the Twenty-seventh Army abandon the dense formation and use skirmish lines to attack!"
"yes!"
"Order! The following troops must destroy all the discovered traps at all costs!"
"yes!"
"Order! The twenty-seventh legion gathers all the heavy infantry, and half of them join the fourth attack batch!"
"yes!"
"Order! Two regiments from the 28th Army Corps are coming up! Special military units are on standby!"
"yes!"
He issued these orders and they were immediately passed on.
The second batch of four regiments of Demon Alliance soldiers were already halfway through the charge. Several horns sounded. Amid loud shouts, these soldiers gave up their formation and dispersed with a roar! And in the second batch
Behind them are a large number of soldiers holding long and short logs. Their mission is to destroy the trap!
"Sir! The enemy troops have dispersed!" On the other side of the city, Carlos beside Cohen shouted loudly.
"Order! The archers will stop after two rounds of firing!" Cohen punched the black iron knife on the ground, his expression so calm that he no longer looked like a teenager. "The crossbowmen will scatter on their own! The frontline soldiers are ready to engage the enemy!"
"yes!"
"The elven archers go out and snipe the enemy's accompanying officers freely!"
"yes!"
Because the formations of the demon alliance were scattered, the effect of the bow and arrow shooting was not as good as last time. The demon alliance soldier who was hit by the arrow just fell down, and his body was immediately trampled by countless companions, and the attacking forwards had already poured into the god alliance.
position.
Hand-to-hand combat begins.
The position built by the Allied Forces of God is simply a maze. A series of horizontal and vertical earth walls divide the position into independent small areas. The earth walls as high as two people twist and turn around each other, forming a large circle.
In a small circle, let alone killing enemies in this kind of terrain, it is not easy to walk in and out again.
A large number of demon coalition troops rushed in without fear of death. Under the command of the officers, they followed the direction of the earth wall, entered through the gap left in the earth wall, and rushed into their tomb step by step.
After several days of pursuit and ten days of siege, they have been fighting the enemy with tactics they don't like. In their hearts, they are extremely looking forward to facing the enemy face to face and having a decisive battle in an open and honest manner, but...
The coalition forces did not give them this opportunity.
Cohen has a wealth of military knowledge, and his troops have undergone rigorous street fighting training. Most of the soldiers themselves are "rats" who are good at fishing in troubled waters. It is really a pipe dream to have a decisive battle with such a troop face to face.
Seeing a large number of enemy troops rushing in, all the soldiers of the Divine Alliance retreated into the earth wall, or set off traps, or shot crossbow arrows downwards from the top of the wall, and countless spears were pierced from the holes in the earth wall... front, back, left and right,
Head and feet, the enemy soldiers were overwhelmed with attacks from all directions. They saw the traps but not the gun heads. They avoided the flying axes but could not avoid the powerful crossbows. The intertwined attacks made these brave demon alliance soldiers die inexplicably.
What an extremely useless death!
As for Cohen, who was standing on the city wall, his eyes were rapidly jumping between the battlefields. Orders were issued through a smooth command system, connecting the seemingly scattered positions to form a whole. They could coordinate defense or support each other.
Or counterattack, the various troops on the position cooperated perfectly as if they were one person.
Cohen, he dragged the enemy into this unheard-of positional battle by abandoning the city wall in front, which was a good way to maximize the flexibility of his troops. Because the Demon Alliance has never fought such a battle, and then
Brave troops are inevitably rusty and confused. In such a seemingly chaotic situation, through timely command, Cohen can form an absolute local advantage. After solving the enemy forces in one area, through rapid mobilization, they can eliminate and rush into another area.
Enemies in the area.
Through strategic efforts, Cohen compressed the large scenes that were originally at the regiment level into small battles at the regiment and camp level. This was quite beneficial to him, because almost all of his military experience in his previous life was concentrated on the tactical level, and strategy was only a matter of books.
Not much practice.
Now, Cohen felt as if he had returned to his previous life. He seemed to be standing in front of an electronic map directing a regular offensive and defensive battle. He could see the enemy's and our own strength, as well as the battlefield situation, and he was issuing orders one after another. His quick reactions,
His flexible tactics impressed the staff around him.
But the Demon Alliance suffered a huge loss. No one knew what three-dimensional interlaced firepower and anti-slope fortifications were, and no one told them what it meant to exchange defense depth for time difference... They were brave and fearless, but they couldn't find them when they rushed in.
As a result, the entire group of soldiers was surrounded by an earthen wall and unable to move; the entire battalion of soldiers was divided into several pieces; the entire regiment of soldiers rushed in, but was scattered and absorbed by the large position.
In Cohen's combat plan, the basic combat philosophy of the Divine Alliance is to allow the enemy to enter the position. The position is three miles long. He even allows the enemy to rush into the position to a depth of two and a half miles! And on the two and a half mile road
, the enemy troops are all marching between the earthen walls. Without reference objects, most of the enemy troops will lose their way or be dispersed and destroyed within a few steps.
If there were enough bows and arrows, it would be possible to hit the enemy troops better when they attack, but now, Cohen can't do it. There is absolutely no way to stop the archers from firing, and Cohen can still use the remaining arrows.
It's going to be used for counterattack!
As soon as the bows and arrows of the divine coalition stopped, the lieutenant general in the command post of the demon coalition discovered a problem.
"The enemy doesn't have enough bows and arrows! Order the third batch to disperse and speed up to catch up with the second batch! Try to capture the enemy's front line at once!"
"yes!"
"Let the commanders of the 27th and 28th legions come to me!"
"yes!"
"Come to me immediately as soon as the scouts accompanying the team come back!"
"yes!"
Among the three attack batches prepared by the 27th Legion, the third batch had the largest number of people. The soldiers dispersed and filled the entire front, almost overwhelmingly rushing towards the Divine Alliance Army. Those who were ahead were
The soldiers just caught up with the tail of the second batch, leaving no gap between the attacks of the two batches.
Soldiers from both sides fought bloody battles, and the sound of killings on the battlefield was loud. The commander here used all his magic weapons to secure the defense line, while the commander over there racked his brains to open up the situation.
When the two major generals of the 27th and 28th Corps rushed to the command post, several scouts who had returned from the battle line were reporting the battle situation to the lieutenant general.
"...We can't see the enemy! They are all hiding. The front is covered with earthen walls. We can't see anything!" The scout with a bloody face knelt on the ground and said angrily, "There is a mezzanine in the earthen wall.
There are also small fortresses between the earthen walls, and most of the soldiers died under the enemy's crossbows and throwing axes..."
"Where are you?" the lieutenant general asked another scout.
"The front line on our side is also densely covered with traps. The enemy also has well-hidden caves for hiding soldiers. When we rush through, they come from behind! Those earthen walls are too high, and the soldiers can only wander around inside.
! Some troops entered a dead end and could not get out, and some troops were lost as soon as they rushed in! We have no way of knowing the whereabouts of enemy soldiers..."
"Get down!"
"You have all heard that the opponent is very cunning and uses tactics that we have never encountered before! The Phantom Legion... is indeed a powerful enemy!" The lieutenant general nodded to the two legion commanders, "We cannot underestimate this Phantom.
Legion, we cannot treat them as if they are 50,000 people. In fact, they have always taken the initiative."
"Your Majesty Lieutenant General, please give the order!"
"Yes, Lieutenant General! Just tell me how to fight!"
The facts were before their eyes, and the two major generals had to face the enemy. The contempt they had for the Phantom Legion before the war was no longer there.
"The enemy took advantage of our eagerness to win and set up such a weird battlefield. We need to change our tactics." The lieutenant general motioned the two major generals to walk to the city wall, pointed to the battle line and said, "In this way, the 27th Army Corps
Send out two regiments and bring heavy infantry to attack! The key point is to occupy the enemy's battlefield frontier. I don't want you to push forward. Securely occupy it! The 28th Army also sends out two regiments and bring special units.
You use these two regiments to attack! Before attacking, send out special troops to explore the terrain, and then divide the troops into small groups. The attack must be steady but slow, and the small groups of troops must strengthen contact and support each other!"
"Yes!" the two commanders replied at the same time.
"Our tactics are to eat the enemy troops one by one, pay close attention to the enemy's counterattack, occupy a section, destroy a section, and enrich a section!" The lieutenant general looked at his two subordinates and said, "Our opponent is very tenacious, and the troops in front suffered casualties.
It will definitely be very big, so we need to replace it in time! You two take turns to take command!"
"yes!"
While his soldiers were still fighting fiercely with the third wave of enemy troops, Cohen discovered the difference between the fourth wave of enemy troops. The costumes of those special units were too exaggerated.
"Carlos!"
"yes!"
"The first reserve team counterattack! Destroy the enemies still on the battlefield in the shortest possible time!"
"yes!"
"The hunting team is dispatched! Kill the enemy's special units!"
In a small open space behind the battlefield, the first reserve team of 5,000 people had long been waiting impatiently. After hearing the order, these suffocated soldiers shouted loudly and rushed along the special passage like a gust of wind.
The reinforcement areas were divided before the war.
With the addition of this new group of troops, the shouts of killing on the battlefield reached a new level. As the sound gradually faded away, Cohen knew that the enemy troops that had entered the depths of the battlefield had been eliminated.
When the first reserve team accompanied the original garrison to clear out the enemy's remnants and entered the battlefield, the enemy's troops from two legions of different arms had just arrived.
The special troops of the Demonic Alliance were finally put into the battlefield. The special troops wore brightly colored military uniforms, and it was easy to distinguish them from other soldiers. These guys were holding various strange-shaped weapons and were mixed in with the large army.
The new tactics of the demon alliance were resolutely implemented. The heavy infantry used their bodies to form a dense formation to approach, relying on their thick armor to block the crossbow arrows for the soldiers behind them. After approaching the position, the formation was divided, and countless small groups accelerated to rush out. These
The small force includes soldiers of all kinds, including fighters, barbarians, ordinary light infantry...the weapons they hold are all suitable for close combat.
Although the demon coalition suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, their commanders made timely tactical adjustments, and the defense line of the divine coalition had to withstand a more severe test. (To be continued)
