The commander of the Persian Empire's fortress sent out scouts. Strictly speaking, it was not a request for help, but an order. The small and medium-sized fortress to which the order belonged must send troops to reinforce the fortress.
The Persian scouts moved quickly and arrived at the various small and medium-sized fortresses belonging to the main city that night. In fact, each small and medium-sized fortress had noticed something amiss in the past two days. It was simply impossible for the Fengxiang City Alliance's 200,000-strong army to move.
It was silent, but it had only been two or three days since the war began, and the various small and medium-sized fortresses were still not sure what had happened.
Now that they received the news from the main city, the garrison defenders of various fortresses were shocked. There were 200,000 troops, compared to some fortresses with only a few thousand troops, or at most tens of thousands of troops. It was simply unimaginable.
The main city ordered, and the garrison of each fortress did not dare to disobey. Most of the fortresses gritted their teeth and mobilized part of their troops, intending to support the main city. In fact, each fortress has players' knowledge. Once those fortresses mobilized troops, Zeng Yi's side
Then I received the number of troops they sent.
Most of the fortresses have deployed one-third to half of their troops. Among them, the largest support force is a medium-sized fortress with more than 10,000 defenders, and 5,000 troops have been directly deployed.
The commander of the main city was ruthless and directly ordered troops to be sent to each fortress. The total number of reinforcements may even exceed 20,000. If more than 20,000 people successfully arrived in the main city and joined the original more than 30,000 defenders, what would happen?
The most important goal of the Xiangcheng Alliance is that the defenders will exceed 50,000 people.
Fifty thousand people are well-trained, well-equipped, and have tall city walls and complete fortifications. Even if Fengxiang City has catapults and rams, it is not that easy to capture the fortress.
This is also the main reason why people are sent for reinforcements. Zeng Yi currently only has 10,000 people in his hands. Although these 10,000 people can be called the strongest army currently controlled by players, the number is indeed at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, the reinforcements came from fortresses in different places, and the marching routes were completely different, which gave Zeng Yi an opportunity.
Zeng Yi's strategy is also very simple. It's all leftover from the games played by the ancestors. Concentrate your forces to form a local advantage and fight a war of annihilation!
For this reason, we did not hesitate to abandon some areas, strive for the initiative, concentrate superior forces, select weak or isolated parts of the enemy, and annihilate them one by one during the movement to eliminate the enemy's effective strength. Back then, our ancestors relied on these tactics and strategies to win several times.
of enemies.
The next day, he learned that the Persian reinforcements were ready to go. Zeng Yi immediately divided the troops he had accepted into two parts. One part was the masters of Fengyun Tianxia Guild, and the other part was the main force. The blood-clothed guards plus Tianxiang
Guild's light cavalry squadron.
The task given by Zeng Yi to the two or three thousand people in the Fengyun Tianxia Guild was to hold back reinforcements from other major fortresses no matter what method they used. This kind of work is actually very familiar to players, especially Zeng Yi and others.
People, they don’t even know how many times they have done this kind of thing.
Zhou Yi, on the other hand, led the cavalry formation and attacked the enemy with the largest number of reinforcements.
The cavalry is already very fast. In order to pursue the fastest speed, the players did not wear armor. It only took a few hours from the beginning of the action to reaching the Persian reinforcements, and the players continued to fight until the Persian reinforcements discovered them.
Put on the armor in your backpack.
"Quickly, change your clothes, what are you doing standing still!" Hearing Zeng Yi's urging, the guys from the Blood Guards took out their golden armors from their backpacks one by one. Although they were all changing their clothes, these guys were all looking at Tianxiang Guild.
Those young ladies.
Tianxiang Guild's five thousand light cavalry, for the sake of speed, were not wearing equipment. After hearing Zeng Yi's order to change their clothes, they all took out their equipment and started changing. In fact, it was nothing. In this game, the intimacy level was not up to standard.
You can't see it, but what these guys like the Xueyiwei want is that feeling, to watch the young lady change her clothes openly and openly. The two thousand blood-clothed guards were stunned to see the five thousand young lady blush.
"You must be so reserved and ready to attack!"
There are more than 5,000 Persian reinforcements. These 5,000 people are all infantry. It is not that the Persian Empire does not have cavalry. On the contrary, the Persian Empire’s cavalry is not weak. It is just that they are to reinforce the fortress and strengthen the defense of the fortress. The cavalry is nothing.
use.
The soldiers of the Persian Empire were very well-trained. The scouts in the front discovered the seven or eight thousand troops led by Zeng Yi and immediately reported it to the main force behind. The leader of the reinforcements was shocked and immediately ordered his troops to prepare for battle.
When Zeng Yi led his army over, the Persian reinforcements had already formed a standard reinforcement phalanx. The reinforcement phalanx was indeed the best formation for infantry to deal with cavalry. Zeng Yi knew the infantry phalanx very well, and he also
I have used the reinforcement square to deal with cavalry.
However, the infantry phalanx also has great shortcomings. The infantry in the phalanx must undergo strict training in order to act uniformly and fearlessly in the face of danger. This requires high professionalism and discipline in the army. Secondly, although the phalanx has a certain degree of
This solved the shortcomings of the heavy infantry's slow movement and lack of protection on the right side of the body. However, as far as the phalanx itself is concerned, its overall movement is still relatively slow, and its protection capabilities for the flanks and rear are not satisfactory; the heavy infantry
The equipment is expensive, and the most important thing in the hoplite phalanx defense system is the shield in the hands of the soldiers, which is incredibly heavy.
The Persian garrison of 5,000 men obviously did not meet the requirements of heavy infantry. They were just a group of well-trained light infantry who used heavy infantry phalanx to deal with cavalry.
As soon as he saw the Persian reinforcements on the opposite side, Zeng Yi knew how to take action, and immediately ordered the troops to assemble, "Get ready to charge!"
Zeng Yi led the blood-clothed guards and took the lead himself, while the people from Tianxiang Guild were divided into two teams by him and arranged on both sides of the blood-clothed guards.
"Charge!" Zeng Yi took the lead and rushed out.
The Persian defenders all raised their spears and looked nervously at the charging troops. The Persian Empire had been fighting for years, and almost all the elite troops had been replaced. Many Persian soldiers were actually recruits. Although they were well-trained, they
After all, it is the first time to face an enemy, so nervousness is inevitable.
I have to say that the luck of these Persian reinforcements is really bad. The Persian recruits in other places have already experienced the last player's offensive. In the first battle of their lives, not only were they not as scared as imagined, but they also won. And these reinforcements,
Last time, Fengxiang City did not take action and had not been baptized by the fire of war. However, in the first battle, they faced a heavy cavalry charge. They did not collapse directly. They were already very elite!
