Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 422 The Battle of the River Bend 3
Zhang Cheng knew before that this group of mercenaries arranged by the gods was not an ordinary army.

There are mercenaries everywhere, and you can find a large number of them at will when you return to the city.It can be seen from this that these hobgoblins who are favored by the gods and specially arranged to help are definitely superior.

The facts quickly proved this point.

At the last moment when the two sides approached, the spellcaster among the hobgoblins cast protective support spells on their companions.Magic auras came and went, and as soon as the casting of the spell was over, the hobgoblins on the front line threw themselves into close combat.

Most of the human rebels on the opposite side wielded spears, while others held swords and shields.Specifically speaking, the first-line soldiers have swords and shields, and the second-line soldiers wield long spears, use the first-line companions as cover, and use the length of the weapon to attack the enemy.

This is also the most important way of fighting in this era.

But hobgoblin weapons are spears.They have no weapons, and rows of soldiers form a tight battle formation, stabbing the enemy at a distance with the length of a spear.At the same time, the frontline soldiers get the most protection magic blessing.

What the enemy faced was simply a barrier of spears and spears.Everyone has to face four or five spears.Even if the shield is in front, the shield is blocked by the enemy's many spears and cannot rush up.

In terms of the length of the weapon, the spear is longer than the Ge, so it is difficult for the human rebels in the second row to reach the enemy.

Zhang Cheng didn't realize it at first, but then he gradually realized that something was wrong... These hobgoblins... What is this thing?Is this the Macedonian phalanx? !

In other words, this is a variant of the Macedonian phalanx.The overall idea is this, a heavy infantry composed of super spears.

Reminiscent of the ships these hobgoblins are riding on...that is definitely not an ocean-going ship that people in this barbaric era can think of.Shipbuilding technology is very backward these days. If there is no influence of the traverser behind this, he would not believe it if he was killed.

Could it be...the Southern Barbarians invaded Dongyi, and there was also a factor of time traveler behind it?

But thinking about what happened to Nan Ling, he felt that nothing was impossible.After all, there are all kinds of people among the traversers.There are Lao Liu, who is indifferent to the world, and Nan Ling, who is ambitious.Some people take the route of the experience value system, while others take the route of forming a state power.

He is now working as a mage, adding status magic to hobgoblins.Then take the time to throw a few fireballs at the enemy's formation.

But to be honest, the lethality of offensive spells on the battlefield is not good.Normally, throwing two fireballs at will can kill a few weak chickens of level 5 and 6, but the problem is that people know this too.So from the beginning of the battle, almost all the spellcasters on their side cast themselves with protective spells such as "protection against energy damage".This makes the offensive spell lethality much lower.

Ordinary spellcasters can't do much damage even if they run out of their spells, even though the Planeswalker has a lot of cards in his hand.

In terms of offensive cards, especially low-level offensive spell cards such as fireball, Zhang Cheng has been accumulating, but rarely has the opportunity to use them in large quantities.But right now is an opportunity.

However, this lethality is indeed too low. Seven or eight fireballs were thrown out, but only a few people were killed, and it did not harm the overall situation at all.Instead, he got a strange look from the hobgoblin leader.

Apparently he thought Zhang Cheng was stupid—if he hadn't considered that Zhang Cheng was their employer, he would have almost stopped him.

The whole battle situation was stalemate like this, the hobgoblin side obviously had the upper hand, but the opponent had a lot of people after all, so it would take a long time to fight to decide the winner.

Looking around the rest of the battlefield, you will find that the situation is roughly similar.

On the main battlefield, the enemies dominated by Fengyi and supported by some Huaiyi are fighting fiercely with our infantry.

Although the merchants may lack discipline and training, they are far superior in magic and individual combat.A few strong players even took advantage of the opponent's lax formation to rush into the crowd and unleash Wushuang.

During the few days of returning to the city, more than one merchant bought steel weapons and armor for himself or for his guards—steel equipment that was far heavier, sharper, and stronger than bronze.

And because of the spread of the technology of the traversers, these weapons are not all the Changge of this era, but the final cold weapon products that have been eliminated more in later generations.For example, there are two-handed swords.In fact, in this era, there is beryllium which is similar to two-handed swords.

A few masters were rushing left and right in the wind and strife, turning their two-handed long swords, and blood and flesh flew everywhere they went.These people know that their martial arts (level) are very high without asking, and they have a lot of status magic, and their strength can be called superhuman.Facing the lack of magic support (in fact, it is not without it, but relatively much less), it is simply the power to sweep the area alone.

Although the Dongyi Allied Forces had an obvious advantage in numbers, they did not gain any benefits in actual combat. On the contrary, they lost a lot of troops.

But the advantage in numbers is so unreasonable.From a personal point of view, when you clearly understand that there are many people on your side, your will to fight will be stronger.From the perspective of the army, the superiority in numbers allows the army to have greater tolerance, and it will not be a problem to suffer a small loss.

It is precisely because of the obvious advantage in numbers that although the human side has made a lot of money, the overall situation is still suppressed for a while, and the advantages and disadvantages are still unclear at this time.

The same goes for the confrontation on the other side.

In order to prevent the flanks from being outflanked, Jiang Kao has decided to let the chariot troops attack and try to defeat the flank enemies.

This is the elite of Jiang Kao, and also his confidence in designing this plan.And the combat effectiveness of this unit is best proved by the small unit that wiped out the enemy before.

In the ancient times on the earth, there was an equation for converting combat power, that is, a chariot can equal 100 infantry in battle.The so-called one car can be used as a hundred people, and a hundred cars can defeat ten thousand people.

This is just how people on Earth calculate.Because there are no supernatural abilities on Earth, chariot soldiers can only say that they have better equipment, quality and discipline, and there is no essential difference from infantry.

But in this magical world, besides equipment quality and training, chariot soldiers also have differences in level and magic.

In the armies of this world, one to one hundred is definitely an unfair conversion formula - not fair to tanks.

But now the chariot troops have also met their opponents.

Engaging them on the flank was a slightly larger army, also of chariots.Specifically, a mixed force of chariots and cavalry.Among them, the chariots are all composed of Huaiyi and Ganyi.Huaiyi fighters paired with Wanyi spellcasters.The cavalry is mixed with some hunks.

This army should be pieced together, because it can be seen that their skills in driving chariots are average.The cooperation between the left and right of the car is not very good.But in any case, this is a chariot force, and there is no essential difference from the human side.Those in the car were also mid-level and high-level fighters and spellcasters.There are also fast and agile tanks as mobile platforms.

And they are much more numerous than each other.

Jiang Kao's subordinates only have more than 20 multipliers, while the opponent's side is at least twice as many.Taking into account those cavalry who shoot an arrow from time to time and go around in a circle (in other words, centaurs are considered cavalry), the comparison of the number of enemies and us is more than three times.

Relying on better chariot driving skills and better cooperation on the human side, the humans can withstand the superior enemy.

So far, both armies are pressing forward with all their strength, and the left, center and right are all engaged in fierce fighting, and they are all in a stalemate.

It takes no special talent for anyone to see that the balance of war is just right there.At this moment, the outcome of the battle on any wing is equal to the outcome of this battle.

At present, the main generals of both sides have not yet entered the battlefield.

Far behind the enemy line, Wu Qing was staring at the battlefield ahead.Even the great witch cannot see through the ever-changing battlefield.But for the time being at least, things are at a standstill.Neither side was able to gain a decisive advantage.

"My lord..." a follower said. "Zhu Xia's behavior seems to be relying on something."

"Yes, there is still support..." Wu Qing made a sound that seemed to be laughing, but also seemed to be angry. "It's nothing more than three things, first, strange soldiers, second, masters, and third, gods."

He stared at a corner of the battlefield.The chariot troops fighting on both sides are moving away from the main force - this is because the chariots on the human side have to chase and disperse the monkeys from time to time.As for Xun Xun, as a cavalry shooter, he naturally retreated towards the periphery.This tactical game caused both warring parties to instinctively move away from the main battlefield.

This tactic of maintaining contact but not fighting for life is beneficial to the human side, because they are better at handling the chariot, and their exchange ratio is higher in this kind of battle.But it's not bad for Dongyi's side - because this is equivalent to depriving the opponent's most powerful tank of the possibility of supporting friendly forces.

Although the most elite troops from both sides are gathered here, the key to the outcome of the battle lies elsewhere.

"It should be a rare soldier and an expert." Wu Qing said. "Their general." He knew that the war situation now only needs a little breakthrough to form a chain reaction, and the only one who can achieve a little breakthrough... seems to be the opponent's general.

Of course, the time has not come yet, because the strength of a person or a chariot is limited, and the two sides have not been fighting for a long time, and they are still relatively energetic, so the effect of a chariot is just that.The warring parties need to fight longer, until they start to get tired, and then there will be a chance to make a final decision.

The nobles of the Xia Dynasty were extremely martial, and the general who led the army (Wu Qing reckoned that the other party was a doctor) must be a strong man, or even directly a perfect person.When this doctor personally rushed into the battlefield at a critical time, it would change the entire situation of the battle.

For the nobles of the Xia Dynasty, especially the Zhiren, it is not impossible for one to defeat a hundred.

However, General Zhu Xia was waiting for an opportunity, so why not Wu Qing?
"But if Zhu Xia has gods to help out this time..." the follower asked.A great spirit or a clone of a god can directly change the situation of the battle.

"Haha...the gods dare not intervene, with my master here, what are you afraid of!" Wu Qing let out a cold smile, shaking his cane.This cane looks very ordinary, but at this moment it leaves shock ripples visible to the naked eye in the air.

They all have hole cards, so it depends on who has more hole cards.At least Wu Qing felt that his hole cards would not be inferior to the opponent's in the slightest.General Zhu Xia still refuses to reveal his hole cards, it doesn't matter, Wu Qing can reveal one first.

"Order Lai Yi to attack!" he said. "I hope to force out a big spirit, and then I can take advantage of the momentum to kill it!"

Because Daxi turns an "S"-shaped bay here, the water flow here is relatively gentle.At least when you look at the river from a distance on the shore, you will feel that it is a piece of immobile light green.

Now, this immobile light green is fluctuating.First the heads, then the body, slowly emerged from the middle of the river and approached the shore.

It's Lai Yi!In other words, murlocs.Murlocs have the ability to breathe both on land and underwater, so they can lurk underwater.If the distance is not particularly close, people on the ground cannot see it.

The number of Laiyi that appeared was not particularly large, about sixty or seventy.All murlocs hold weapons, which seem to be the most common coral or stone weapons among murlocs.Some are axes, some are spears, and some are tridents.They don't wear armor, but because of their body mucus and thick skin, the natural protection of these creatures is no less than that of ordinary armor.

They can be regarded as the most savage and ferocious race in the world - other races may be able to compete with Lai Yi in terms of brutality, but they are all inferior in terms of barbarism.These murlocs are famous for never taking prisoners and eating them raw.

Even a race like Tiger Fang has already stepped into a slavery society.But Laiyi has not yet seen this trend.

Lai Yi began to approach the battlefield.

Even Zhang Cheng knew about the existence of these Laiyi in advance, but when he saw this scene, he knew that he would lose.Yes, it has been lost.

Lai Yi's combat effectiveness is very high, one can beat three Lizardmen.Regardless of the level, sixty or seventy Laiyi can be converted into two hundred Huaiyi.Normally speaking, although it is effective to join the battle with such a little combat power, it will not have a decisive impact.

So at that time, Zhang Cheng felt that the purpose of these Laiyi was to sneak attack on the rear camp, and thus lead to the collapse of human beings.

With the warning, Jiang Kao took it for granted that the pre-arrangement basically eliminated this danger.At the time of the battle, the camp had already arranged a certain amount of protection, which was enough to block Lai Yi's sneak attack.

For Zhang Cheng, this decision is enough, and there is no need to consider the issue of Lai Yi.Because if Lai Yi directly enters the battle...that is, the opponent has two hundred more lizardmen.There were only three or four thousand enemies, and two hundred more would not affect the overall situation.So don't think too much about it.

But the hobgoblin who couldn't stand Zhang Cheng was playing the Macedonian phalanx.
