There were enough light cavalry and light infantry on both sides of the heavy infantry defense line of the Divine Alliance, and they bravely pressed forward when facing the attack of the Sibia tribe. In normal times, even if they could not completely stop the attack, they could still hold back the enemy. The attack footsteps put it into a hard fight, but at this time it received a fierce blow from the air - it was a crossbow arrow, a crossbow arrow from the Sibia Winged Army!
The twelve tornado pillars swirling over the formation were like prodigal sons, spraying crossbow arrows at the counterattacking Qingqi and Qingbu. What's more, after seeing that there were no archers in these divine coalition forces, the tornado pillars began to tilt. "Scraping" forward, the huge upper part stretches forward, rolling and squeezing back and forth on the enemy's head for a while, scattering the enemy troops, and then it becomes like a huge hammer and is raised high. , hitting a group of Qingqi or Qingbu one after another, completely destroying them...
Under the tornado, the soldiers of the tribal legion were not idle either. They placed many guerrilla teams outside the phalanx. Those divine coalition forces that survived the crossbow attack had to endure another round before they could rush to them. Long-range strikes. As members of the tribe, these soldiers not only have the speed to travel on harsh ground, but also have the skills to throw a variety of weapons.
There was nothing they couldn't throw from the spears, swords, axes, and hammers on the ground. They rolled on the ground, and the weapons they picked up went out with a "swish" sound. Even in close combat with a small group of enemies, they He also played well.
After the children of the Thirty-Six Tribes put aside their cowardice and fear, their excellent qualities have been greatly displayed - when it comes to fighting alone, the soldiers of the God's Alliance Army are far less slippery and cunning than them; when it comes to fighting together, the whistles are far away. It is more convenient and faster than the military orders of the Divine Alliance, not to mention that on such a ground, even if the Divine soldiers hear the military orders, they may not be able to complete the action in time!
When encountering a large-scale enemy counterattack, these peripheral guerrilla soldiers will disperse in a hurry, leaving the enemy to face the forest of shield walls and mountains of knives behind them.
There was no trace of cowardice in the troops placed by the Divine Alliance on both sides of the formation. Tanxi's elite and brave characteristics were fully revealed. Although they were overwhelmed by the crossbow arrows from the sky, the counterattack team fought extremely tenaciously, charging forward one after another. After getting closer, these Tansi soldiers showed that their combat ability was much higher than that of the Sibia soldiers. In addition, the Tanxi soldiers were strong and well-equipped, so two or three Sibia soldiers might not be able to take them down during the fight. A rival.
The soldiers of both sides were wrapped together, and the sky was dark. The Qingqi of the Tanxi counterattack force led the infantry to hold on. On the local front, the number of Sibia soldiers who fell was twice or even three times that of the enemy!
Such a situation made the senior Sibia generals behind him feel terrified. The estimate of Tansi's combat power before the war seemed to be insufficient. At this time, there was no time to adjust tactics, and we could only rely on the frontline soldiers to pave the way forward with their lives. The road was clear, and military orders continued to be passed forward, all saying the same thing - "The survival of the empire depends on this battle!", "If you can't rush through, come and see us!".
The eyes of the officers on all fronts in Sibia were also red. These soldiers who had participated in previous battles in the empire came to fight this battle with troops who had been trained for a long time. No one could tolerate failure! The fierce counterattack of Tanxi soldiers has deeply affected their hearts. angered them.
"Magician - attack!" The commanders of all formations issued this order almost at the same time. The magician should not be used here, but now he can no longer care about it. The reinforcements from the other side are almost here!
In the relatively neat phalanx, the cunning Spians put magicians in. This was their experience gained in the Battle of Broken Wave Creek - the magic barrier of the divine coalition hung high in the sky, and after this approach, it was released
They can't defend themselves against the magic!
The mixed team of magicians who had been training in secret for so long revealed their true strength at this moment. The close guards moved to both sides, and dazzling magic lightning balls shot out from the gaps in the shield wall.
The Divine Alliance troops exploded, and each lightning ball turned into a set of lightning chains, spinning and piercing in all directions, and then connected with the nearby lightning to weave into a set of grids without gaps. The metal armor on the Divine Alliance soldiers
It happened to be the best conductor... Bright silver flashed across the eyes, accompanied by screams, and only black bones and deformed armor weapons were left on the ground with smoke rising from the air!
Seeing that the assault in front was almost successful, Emperor Sibia waved his hand, and the slave legions forming a phalanx also began to charge forward. Behind the military formation, there were also some phalanxes composed of mountain dwarf combined legions that were slowly advancing.
!
"Replenish the magic barrier and the spiritual barrier!" The prince knew the tactics of Sibia's army in his heart and issued a series of orders, "Reinforce the front line, move the left and right wings closer to the central army and seal the passage, so that the enemy cannot rush into the defense line!"
Although the prince issued targeted orders at this time, and the troops who received the orders were also executing them meticulously, he understood a little too late that the speed of the Sibia army's tribal army had increased to a point that the divine coalition forces could not match.
——The twelve phalanxes were divided into four teams, like a rolling torrent, rushing in from both sides of the heavy infantry defense line of the God's Alliance Army. Then the four teams adjusted their formations, with the strength of eight square formations on both sides of the God's Alliance Army's defense line.
Two "LV" shapes were arranged respectively to firmly control the gap. The other four square formations shouted and surrounded the rear of the Chongbu defense line!
There are enemy troops in front of the heavy infantry, and there is no way to turn around to meet the enemy. Moreover, there are a large number of archers with weak defensive capabilities behind the defense line. If they are not protected, then the next battle will not be fought... The battle is difficult.
The expression on the prince's face changed for the first time since the battle began.
His Royal Highness the Prince calmed down and slapped the table in front of him, "Defense on the spot, bring the archers into the protection range, and cooperate with the follow-up troops to surround the incoming enemy troops!"
When the enemy breaks through, there is no need to maintain the linear defense line, and it cannot be maintained. The only way is to form a circular formation to protect ourselves, and then cooperate with the reinforcements to destroy the Sibians who have broken into the formation. In this case
, the battle situation may turn around - this is like a bet, the bet is on the will and fighting power of the soldiers under his command!
Compared with the actions of the Allied Forces of God, Sibia's army moved faster. The tribal legionnaires in the two phalanxes took this opportunity to rush wildly along the back of the enemy's defense line, chasing down those soldiers who had no time to escape and lacked melee capabilities, and also
Along the way, the most powerful hunting team among the various arms in Sbia was separated.
The weapons and capabilities of these soldiers are beyond the capabilities of ordinary elites. Their spears will break upon contact and their large shields will be split in two. In local battles, the Divine Heavy Steps have no way of defense at all and can only watch helplessly as these enemies attack them.
There was a bloody storm in front of me...
Under such circumstances, the process of changing the circular formation of the divine heavy infantry would be very difficult and difficult, and the personnel's fighting positions would be chaotic and chaotic. Originally, the prince estimated that the heavy infantry could take advantage of the opportunity to surround the two formations.
The Sibiya tribe army rushed to attack, but even this plan failed - after the two assault teams merged into one, the total strength reached four square formations, and the gathered magicians followed and advanced under the protection.
The continuous area-of-effect magic made it impossible for the divine coalition forces to get close.
It was only then that the archers of the God's Allied Forces came to their senses. The officers finally gathered the scattered soldiers into a group and were about to launch a counterattack. Four tornado pillars from the sky followed one after another, over the God's Heavy Steps.
It blew by, and the continuous rain of arrows prevented them from even having a chance to draw their bows!
Without the harassment of long-range attacks, the Sibiya tribe army did not encounter many obstacles in their advance. They were still fighting according to their own combat intentions. The twelve assault phalanxes were divided into three clusters to cooperate with each other.
When a cluster completes a shock wave in the divine coalition, it will move closer to another cluster on its side, and this cluster that is moved closer will take over the impact, and finally approach the cluster on the other side in an arc trajectory. These three
The cluster is like the three balls in the clown's hand. One is always attacking, and the other two are defending and resting in important positions.
If it weren't for the fact that the Divine Heavy Steps were still in chaos, and if it weren't for the Divine reinforcements not yet arriving, the Sibyans wouldn't be able to use such tactics. But it happened that the Sibyans created such conditions!
On the other hand, the situation is different on the side of the Divine Alliance. In the previous attack, the first line of ordinary infantry phalanx was wiped out by Sibia's army, and the reorganized heavy infantry defense line was bypassed by Sibia's army from both sides and attacked quickly.
, had to form a round formation, and the troops behind were not placed closely. On the way to the reinforcements, they were thrown into chaos by the intruding Sibia Army. Sibia's army had tricky tactics, was good at seizing opportunities, and was very fast. They were dragging God with them.
The phalanxes belonging to the coalition forces were fighting, dragging these phalanxes away from their original positions and routes, making the entire formation even more chaotic!
Seeing this, the prince realized that Cohen Keda did not want to fight a face-to-face square battle, he wanted to drag both sides into a melee as soon as possible... Chaos but not chaos, fishing in troubled waters, is the way to fight.
The real strength of the runner-up.
"Order the phalanxes at the rear of our army to form a cluster of ten phalanxes on the left and right sides, compress each other's passages, and advance slowly." The prince ordered: "The other phalanxes will support each other and advance forward.
After arriving at the position, stay on the outside of the heavy step square formation, first form a 'pin' formation with the two large clusters at the back! Then change into an inverted 'pin' formation!"
The prince's order was not untimely, but the Divine Alliance Army had just begun to implement it after receiving the order. The second assault force of the Sibia Army had already rushed in from the breach guarded by the tribal army. The reason was naturally that Emperor Sibia saw it.
After seeing the movement of the Divine Alliance Army, they ordered the follow-up troops to speed up - Sibia's army could speed up the advance again and again on such a ground, which really made the Divine Alliance Army tremble with fear!
This means that the Sibyans can use one square array as two square arrays!
"Damn weather." A trace of anxiety flashed across the prince's face, and he turned to ask the adjutant, "How is the contact with the flank? I've been calling for so long, but there's still no news?"
"We haven't been contacted yet." The adjutant shook his head, thought for a while and then said: "Your Highness, has the flank already..."
"No, Cohen Keda has absolutely no troops to destroy them. I can confirm my conclusion!" The prince turned his head with a serious look on his face, "As long as we persist a little longer, Sibia's army will be surrounded!"
Before he finished speaking, the Slave United Army of Sibia's army burst out with a shocking shout. Following the tribal phalanx that advanced first, they divided into left and right directions and rushed towards the depths of the Divine Alliance camp. There was no need at all.
Listen, the prince knows that the content of those slaves' shouts is only two words, or at most four words.
"Military merit!", "Military merit!", "Tenth level of military merit!"
This kind of cry from the slave army officer is more effective than any military order for the slave soldiers - in the soul and consciousness of the slave, military merit is more real than gold coins. With military merit, you can become a civilian and earn a house.
, exchange for land, marry a wife, and have a son!
House, land, wife, son! The listener's blood is surging, the listener's eyes are red, the howl immediately becomes hoarse, and he rushes to the front in an instant, his pace is so fast that even the tribal soldiers can't keep up. And Cohen Keda
What is important is their extraordinary impact that is stimulated. As for their scattered impact lines, it is nothing.
Looking at the slave army that was rushing towards them in a skirmish line, the soldiers from all the formations of the Divine Alliance were a little confused. They didn't understand why the good Sbia square formation was in chaos in an instant. When these evil ghosts rushed in,
In front of them, the soldiers were still defending in the ordinary way. The light infantry faced the slave soldiers, and they were originally matched against each other, but no one expected that they were a group of lunatics who came to steal people's heads.
"*Your mother..." First there was a burst of hoarse and incoherent yelling from far to near, and then there was a real attack.
The entire row of slaves at the front only used shields to protect their upper bodies. When they were close enough, they jumped up and pounced on the enemy soldiers like hungry dogs, crushing one or two enemies with their own weight and impact.
, the slaves at the back rushed forward in time to engage with the surrounding enemies, and the supporting slaves focused on the lower plate. Naturally, other things were needed to cheer them up - several divine officers commanding the front were just about to issue orders when they were splashed with lime. Before they could reply,
When she came to her senses, the thing between her legs was pulled hard. Before she could scream in pain, her eyes were poked by the slave's fingers again. Then she felt a chill on her neck and her head flew high...
Compared with the actual combat effect, the Slave United Army brought more chaos and fear to the Divine Alliance. This group of aliens in the Sibia army did not care about their own lives. They used squads as combat units, with clear division of labor and close cooperation.
, what you want is the head!
There are many divine soldiers who are tied up with ropes by slaves and forcibly dragged out of the queue to be quartered; there are also many officers who are hugged by slaves and captured alive like rats stealing eggs...
Slaves will use various methods, including throwing the only weapon in their hands, to win a glimmer of initiative, and even use one hand to exchange for an opportunity. As long as they fall in front of them, whether they slip or are knocked down, they will end up in trouble.
It's very miserable.
Although the slick style of play of the Sibiya army caused countless troubles for the Tanxi army, their melee strength was also brought into play at this time. The disadvantages on the ground were reduced to the point where they could be ignored in the defensive battle, and the slaves could only pester them.
The shortcomings of fighting against surprise attacks and not being good at attacking for long periods of time were also exposed, and the killings were evenly matched everywhere on the battlefield.
The various formations of the Divine Alliance had just completed their defense adjustments against such attacks, and were about to take down the slave legion. The Sbia tribe army took advantage of the chaos created by the slave legion to attack. Each side consisted of six square formations.
The wedge-shaped attack arrow penetrated deeply into the two large clusters that had not yet completed their assembly, which announced that His Highness the Prince's formation with the word "pin" was in vain.
Almost at the same time, the heavy infantry formation of the God's Allied Forces was violently attacked by the Sibian Mountain Dwarf United Legion. The heavy infantry, which was beaten to pieces, fell into a new round of crisis.
Looking at the entire battlefield, there are fierce bloody battles everywhere. The various clusters of the God's Alliance Army were separated by the Sibia Army. Some of the troops who gritted their teeth and persisted could only parry, but had no power to fight back. Although it is impossible to say who surrounded whom,
But the entire battlefield is gradually being dragged into a big melee.
The war situation has shown signs of getting out of control, and the current troops alone are unable to support it. Prince Carl Ulysses' anxiety has accumulated to a very high level, and the voice of asking the adjutant and staff has become very severe, "Are you in contact with the flanks?"
?”
"There is no news yet, Your Highness the Prince!" Facing His Highness the Prince's sharp gaze, the staff officer who answered could not help but tremble in his heart. The words about whether to retreat rolled over and over in his throat, but he still did not dare to say them out.
The prince turned his head, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind, and finally decided to continue the gamble... because retreat is not a trivial matter!
Up to this point in the battle, the Divine Alliance forces have paid a heavy price. Once they retreated, all their efforts were in vain. Although Sibia's army took the initiative, and although Sibia's army caused serious damage to its own side, Sibia's army did not.
He has enough strength to annihilate himself. Even if both sides are crippled, he will not be the unlucky one in the end. Being able to defeat the main force of Sibia is considered a victory!
"Aim for the Sibia headquarters and attack! The reserve team bypasses the enemy and attacks from both sides!" The prince's cold command sounded, "The rest of the parties will hold fast and fight to the last soldier!"
After hearing His Highness the Prince's order, the generals all knew that the most critical moment had arrived. Many of them looked at the few light cavalry in the reserve team and couldn't help but feel regretful: If on this battlefield, Tanxi still had a team of gods and demons.
What a great beast cavalry in a battle! Even if there are only one or two teams, they can immediately change the situation of the battle!
The sound of the horn continued, and the desire to fight to the death reached the ears of every soldier. The bloody spirit of all the formations of the God's Allied Forces was aroused, and the cruelty of the battle became even more brutal. The heavy infantry in front let out deafening shouts of killing, and went completely crazy.
The counterattack caused the dwarf army to retreat step by step for a while... while the reserve team, which was a mixture of infantry and cavalry, bypassed the fierce fighting area and pushed forward.
"Your Majesty, the enemy has begun a full-scale counterattack."
The emperor said: "The pressure on each unit will be heavy, but life and death depend on this battle, and Sibia's army will never retreat."
"Then the next tactic is..."
"He fights his side, and I'll fight mine! The attacking troops fight according to the plan, and they are not allowed to take a step back!" Cohen Keda ordered, "The dwarf army separated and went to attack the reserves on both sides! Let the heavy steps rush in and hand over
Let me beat the other troops to death - tell everyone that when the enemy rushes to the headquarters, I will cut them with a knife! Even if all the people are dead, the flag cannot take a step back!"
"yes!"
After releasing a round of magic, the giant dragon soared high in the sky and saw the latest changes in the battlefield situation. The attacking troops of the Divine Alliance rushed into the Sbia camp in three groups. The heavy forwards formed a diagonal advance. Although the speed of travel was
Unhappy, but they are pushing forward extremely resolutely - they are risking their lives to attack!
Sibiya's troops fought bloody battles around the three enemies. After paying a huge price, they were able to block the left and right sides, but Tansi's heavy steps were not stopped.
The combined army of mountain dwarves was divided into two, blocking the enemy's advance passage on the left and right. Although these dwarves, who were not as tall as the Tansi soldiers, had no advantage against heavy infantry, they were much easier to defeat light cavalry and ordinary infantry.
A desperate attack, the formation is very scattered, the strength and combat skills of the dwarves are best displayed in this situation!
Although the equipment is not complete, the soldiers are not enough, and the attack is thousands of miles away, this is called a tough battle!
The double-edged axes slashed left and right, and the single-headed hammers flew up and down, but the Tansi soldiers rushed forward one after another, charging forward indomitably! Both sides were so furious that they didn't care about the casualties!
"Your Majesty, the enemy's counterattack is too fierce, and our casualties have increased."
"The troops don't need to make any adjustments." The smile on the corner of Emperor Sibia's mouth was cold and cruel, and he kept saying strange things. "I have accumulated all the wealth I have made by selling iron and steel in the past few years. Even if I spend all my money, I will destroy the people of Tansi."
Get rid of it!"
The secretary standing behind His Majesty the Emperor inherited the family's habit of not seeing blood. Although he did not faint, his stomach was still churning when he saw the constant bloody mess on the front line. Just as he was feeling uncomfortable, he suddenly saw an enemy soldier.
A group of dozens of light cavalrymen broke out from the chaos and charged to a place less than a mile away from the headquarters.
He felt nervous, but a squad of garrison cavalry came forward to intercept them, and the two sides fought within his sight! Blood splattered everywhere, but it could not hide the iron-like expressions of the cavalry. I don't know why.
, he suddenly cheered up, forgetting the discomfort in his stomach for a moment, jumped up and pointed at the Qingqi and roared hoarsely, until they were wiped out one by one, he laughed heartily, as if he was also beaten
It's like winning a battle.
However, although the opponent's heavy step was weakened, they were less than two miles away from the headquarters, and the flying arrows had already shot down three staff officers! And the losses on our side were reported like a stream, and the official titles of the casualty officers were
It was getting higher and higher. The secretary was dumbfounded when he heard it. The hot blood slowly cooled down, and a handful of cold sweat broke out in his palms.
The battlefield has become chaotic to the point where it cannot be more chaotic, but on the scene, the Divine Alliance forces are in a better condition. At least their headquarters is not threatened.
"What do you think now?" What is hateful is that His Majesty the Emperor still has the leisure to turn around and tease him.
"I think..." the secretary recalled the infantry drill, "the headquarters is threatened by the enemy and wants to..."
"Counterattack, right?" His Majesty the Emperor laughed, "I have already sent the guards up."
Seeing His Majesty the Emperor's heroic smile, the secretary was filled with shame, and his face in his helmet turned red, because he was about to say "move or retreat", but His Majesty the Emperor patted his shoulder hard and said something.
If you praise him, he will be asked to serve as a supervisory officer for some army at the back...
"It's over, I don't know where I've been demoted now..." The somewhat frustrated secretary thought he had been demoted, so he walked around to the back of the hills step by step, only to see a field of grass swaying under the rain and fog. Where were the troops?
The secretary was surprised when a rare elf officer came next to him and said while giving a military salute: "Your Excellency, you are here to convey an order?"
"Ah, I'm here to serve as a supervisor." The clerk looked at the elf officer and handed over the emperor's warrant.
"Welcome, Your Excellency." The elf officer also looked at the young man wearing royal armor, and pointed to the wasteland with his hand, "The troops are all here."
The clerk looked along the officer's hand, but found nothing, only something scratching on his feet. When he lowered his head, he saw a pair of beast's eyes looking up at him in the grass - it didn't seem very happy.
"This is my mount. Your Excellency, you stepped on its front paws." The elf officer explained with a smile, "Your mount is the one on the right. It is very docile..."
The secretary looked over and saw a terrifying face of a monster looking up from the grass and looking at him. Although the body was covered by camouflage and the outline of the figure could not be seen, the eyes as big as copper bells were full of excitement.
Wild, with sharp teeth sticking out of the lips. Then there was a noise in my head, and now I have a new understanding of the word "docile". (To be continued)
