The day before the Allied Forces of the Four Nations launched their attack, Zeng Yi and his four men left Fengxiang City with 30,000 players. These 30,000 people were placed by Zeng Yi dozens of miles away from Fengxiang City.
There is a place near the Gobi Desert. Zeng Yi has carefully surveyed the terrain around Fengxiang City. If the Persian army wants to divide their forces and surprise Fengxiang City from the other side, this Gobi Desert is where they must pass.
the road!
Among the hundreds of thousands of players, these selected people are all elites, and their quality is very good. If an ordinary player is left in the Gobi for a day, he probably won't be able to hold on without being attacked by Persians.
After deploying the army, the three bosses ran to the border. After the game was updated, ordinary NPC soldiers were strengthened. Zeng Yi was worried that ordinary players would not be able to discover the route of the Persian Army Division, so the three bosses went to the border to see.
As for him, since he was promoted to a super-class master, he can no longer do such a job. The Persian army also has super-class masters on command. If he runs to the border, what is the difference between directly telling the Persian army that someone is watching them?
Facts have proved that Zeng Yi's worries were not unnecessary. After the mighty Persian army set off, Jingfeng and the others did not find out that among the players they sent out, there were already less than 20,000 secret elites before the Persian set off.
The troops left the camp first.
This Persian army totaled less than 20,000 people, but they were definitely the best among the elite. Even the three bosses almost didn't notice these people. At that time, the night before the main Persian army set off, the Persian army camp was brightly lit.
Some kind of ceremony has been going on, and the players under surveillance, including the three bosses, are all paying attention to it.
Fortunately, the fourth child discovered something unusual and took the risk to take a detour to the back of the Persian camp. Only then did he discover that a troop from behind the camp had left the camp while the army was offering sacrifices.
The three of them immediately followed the traces left by the army and chased after them. The three of them chased for almost an hour with great strength, and then they caught up with the army.
In the darkness, the three bosses discovered that this was a heavy cavalry force, a heavy cavalry force of nearly 20,000 people! All the soldiers had horsehair on their helmets, wore scale armor, including breastplates and greaves, and were equipped with short swords and
It has a throwing spear with an iron tip, a forehead protector on the face of the war horse, and bronze scales hanging on the chest of the war horse. It can be said to be a very luxurious heavy cavalry equipment.
The fourth child immediately told Zeng Yi about this discovery. When Zeng Yi received the news, he frowned and said, "Mader, we are in trouble. Isn't Persia capable? It is actually equipped with nearly 20,000 heavy cavalry troops."
!" They were all heavy cavalry, some of which were beyond Zeng Yi's expectations.
Zeng Yi was a little overconfident. Although the number of players exceeded those of Persian cavalry, among the 30,000 players, there were only 5,000 light cavalry and 2,000 heavy cavalry of the Blood Clothes Guards. The rest could only be regarded as infantry. The front was made of hard steel. I was afraid that
It’s hard to take down this Persian heavy cavalry unit!
At this time, the Persian army has already set off. The player just wants to increase the number of troops, but it is already too late. Zeng Yi pondered for a long time, recalling the countless wars he participated in, and then sent a flying pigeon to Jingfeng and Hua Qianyue.
Pass a letter.
When Jingfeng and Hua Qianyue learned that Persia had dispatched 20,000 heavy cavalry, they were shocked. They once wanted Zeng Yi to give up the ambush plan. Those players were all the elites of their guild, especially the 5,000 light cavalry from Tianxiang Guild.
The cavalry was something they spent a lot of money on. If it was lost somewhere before the decisive battle started, it would have a huge impact on this cavalry unit.
But the two of them also knew very well that if this force was allowed to circle back, the pressure on Fengxiang City would be too great. Not to mention that after this heavy cavalry circled back, it would hold back tens of thousands of Fengxiang City players, even if it was just a small force.
Put there, Fengxiang City's supplies are a problem. Thirty to fifty thousand ordinary players cannot break through a 20,000 heavy cavalry force!
After thinking about it, the two of them immediately followed Zeng Yi's request and collected more than 20,000 spears overnight, and asked the good Qinggong players to send them to Zeng Yi.
It wasn't until late in the night that Zeng Yi breathed a sigh of relief after he got the batch of spears. "With 20,000 spears, it's time to give them a try!"
Spears were distributed to players overnight. Originally, Zeng Yi thought that using shields, 20,000 players could block the Persian army, and then the blood-clothed guards and Tianxiang Guild cavalry in ambush would launch a surprise attack.
Not many players usually practice using shields. It is a bit reluctant to use shields, and with the addition of spears, players are even less familiar with it. This completely goes against their usual way of using swords to fight.
But using swords cannot stop the Persian army. Only by using spears and shields can these players stop the Persians.
Fortunately, Zeng Yi didn't plan to use any complicated tactics, and he didn't know how to use complicated tactics. He just wanted to use the once-famous heavy infantry phalanx in reality to block the charge of Persian heavy cavalry and provide a way for the bloody guards.
Create opportunities with the Tianxiang Guild's cavalry troops.
The infantry phalanx is a square formation composed of soldiers arranged closely, which can form a strong wall composed of shields and spears. In ancient wars, this was the most commonly used infantry tactic. The first to use the infantry phalanx was the Semitic
The Greeks and Macedonians later improved it; the most common method of warfare was to use infantry phalanxes to attract enemy troops, and then send cavalry to break through the enemy's defense lines.
The infantry phalanx has a big disadvantage. It moves slowly and changes formations slowly, which greatly tests the will and discipline of the infantry. The success of the infantry phalanx requires the full cooperation of every soldier. The collapse of any side will lead to total annihilation.
.When the first row of infantry sees groups of cavalry charging round after round, the poorly trained army will often collapse, leading to devastating results.
For these specially selected players, Zeng Yi was not worried about their willpower. He was mainly worried about their experience. These players had never fought like this before, and their lack of experience was the biggest problem.
Fortunately, the main task of these players is to block the impact of the Persian heavy cavalry. There is no need for them to change their formations. They just need to defend with all their strength.
According to the formation of the infantry phalanx, Zeng Yi commanded the people to try it out once. After several hours, with Zeng Yi's disdainful efforts, everyone finally arranged the infantry phalanx. But at this speed, if it is taken to the battlefield,
I guess the day lilies were already cold by the time they arranged them.
"Remember your position. After the Persians appear, don't worry about other things and stand in this position!"
