Marvel's Mulgore Inn

Chapter 452 Deliberate failure?
In just three rounds of attacks, more than a dozen giant dragons have fled the battlefield far away with their tails between their legs, and they have no courage to look back—although they are extremely proud dragons, the Gaoling Giants are definitely born to restrain dragons The strong and rough skin can resist most physical attacks and magical effects, and even the power of giant dragons may not be able to surpass these tyrannical kaolin giants.In this case, a mere dozen or so giant dragons are absolutely no match for a hundred Kaolin giants.

"Where did you get these giants?" Seeing that the opponent's powerful air force was defeated, Gordon Charlemagne also felt relieved and asked curiously.

"Get it? No, no, they are just oppressed too hard by the nobles!" Huang Chao said with a smile, "They are all hunters in the mountains, and the heavy taxes make them decide to put down their peaceful life to resist this kind of injustice. equal oppression..."

Believe in you!
Charlemagne secretly rolled his eyes, what kind of nobles dare to oppress these "hunters"?A high mountain giant needs at least one heavy army to be qualified to fight, not to mention a hundred high mountain giants, as long as there are enough supplies, these guys can destroy a country.

The battle on the bridge continued. The heavy cavalry and heavy infantry on both sides had fought to the last moment, and the torrent of steel visible to the naked eye had only a few thin layers left.After the battle for the bridge deck was evenly matched, the Crusaders started the second round of offensive.Under the cover of a large number of war puppets, countless crusader infantry armed with big swords or halberds rushed onto the bridge like a tide.

Almost at the same time, a large number of monks, priests, and all kinds of magicians began to sing, and countless bright magic elements exploded in the air, and the four elements of earth, fire, water, and air quickly formed in the air, and Their target was the Gaoling giants placed behind the formation.

"Quantity against quality, or quality against quantity, this is the eternal theme of war." Huang Chao commented on this, "Kaolin giants cannot be wasted in the confrontation with magic elements, their number is very limited, maintaining a large size and Power takes a lot of energy - order all giants to retreat!"

"But our regular forces..."

"The combat power of the regular legion is far inferior to that of Newton's crusaders, right? But these guys can't just sit around eating and not working every day, can they? The opponent is an ordinary legion, and we have to release a hole card. If this continues, we will finally What's left?"

Charlemagne thought for a while silently, his face became even more bitter, and he replied: "On our side, there are only old, weak, sick and disabled, but the other side still has a large number of the most elite troops..."

"It's good to know!" Huang Chao said with a smile, "Now it's our turn to use quantity against quality, little guy, let's do it!"

War puppets are the masterpieces of alchemists. According to the material structure, they are divided into stone men, iron men, gold men, diamond men, etc., and there are even puppet dragons made of metal.Without exception, these puppet creatures have strong physical defense effects, and they are also very resistant to magic damage.

Under the command of Charlemagne, the several major legions of the Saint-Siran Army began to move. They entered the battlefield according to the most standard formation of light and heavy infantry in front, archers and magicians in front, and light and heavy cavalry on the flanks, trying to use their flesh and blood to fight against the enemy. Resists war golems and four elementals.

But this round of impact has just begun, and most of the people who watched the game couldn't bear to watch it any longer.Under the attack of the crusaders armed to the teeth, the St. Cirén's army was almost firmly suppressed at the bridgehead. Some war puppets even rushed into the river bank defense line braggingly. Turned into a mass of scrap iron.

Fortunately, after a long period of fierce fighting ahead, the sky has gradually darkened.The Crusaders, who had achieved a lot of victories, suppressed their opponents to the vicinity of the river bank. Seeing that many magicians and alchemists began to arrange new pontoon bridges and outposts, and erected enough defensive forces, they retreated slowly with satisfaction.

The fighting gradually subsided.

"This can't be fought——" Charlemagne heard Robert Hooke's indignant voice as soon as he entered the camp of the Chinese army, "The gap is so big, the opponent can cross the Rhine tomorrow at most!"

"It's not that bad, we still have some hole cards..." George Berkeley's voice also came out.

Charlemagne walked into the tent and saw the ugly faces of his confidantes, especially the holders of the Holy Shield, who were obviously extremely frustrated with the daytime battle situation.

"Don't worry!" Charlemagne could only encourage the morale of his own people in this way, "You have seen the strength of Mellenhagen's army. After a night's rest, the Gaoling Giants will give the Crusaders an unforgettable defeat!"

"Gaolin giants are not suitable for decisive battles!"

Robert Hooke, a physicist who invented vacuum pumps and microscopes, was Newton's lifelong enemy. He also saw the situation on the battlefield very clearly. Giant Ridge's hole cards have also been seen by the opponent, I don't know how much hidden strength they still have. But our hole cards really don't have much!"

He emphasized his tone: "But at least half of Isaac Newton's cards have not been played. Although the opponent has no heavy cavalry, no dragons and Pegasus, the question is how to deal with those war puppets? And, even if They don't do anything, they can drown our soldiers with magic elements alone!"

Charlemagne also had no words, so he could only tentatively ask: "Why don't we wait for Mr. Huang and the others?"

There was silence in the tent for a while, and after a while, Robert Hooker sighed heavily.

Soon, the senior members of the Mellenhagen Legion also arrived. Thomas More and his followers Robert Owen, Claude Saint-Simon and Charles Fourier, the four descendants of the Holy Shield, walked into the camp. Equally dignified—it wasn't until Shen Kuo and Huang Chao appeared that the camp regained a little vitality.

"Old Shen, how do you feel?" Huang Chao asked with his hair sideways as soon as he sat down.

"Not so good!" Shen Kuo was honest and blunt, "The level of warfare of Westerners is simply..."

Although most of the people in the camp are descendants of the Holy Shield or the Spear, Shen Kuo's words still stabbed them in the heart - but they have nothing to say. When it comes to the art of war, this group of ghosts Added together, it is not as rich and colorful as China's thousands of years of war history.

"What should we do next?" Gordon Charlemagne suppressed his temper and asked solemnly.

"What should I do?" Shen Kuo didn't understand what he meant, "Keep fighting!"

"We know to keep fighting. The question is, how should we fight? The opponent has already gained the upper hand in the battle on the river, and will inevitably come up with a new fighting method tomorrow, and our troops are not superior in quality and quantity..."

"Oh, what are you talking about!" Shen Kuo said leisurely, "We let them take advantage of the river, didn't we arrange it in advance?"

"Arranged?" Everyone in the camp turned pale with shock, and looked at each other for a while, "Who arranged it? Why did we deliberately lose the river battle?"

"I arranged it!"

Huang Chao smiled and said, "But we didn't intend to lose on purpose, but fought with Newton head-on with real swords and guns. Every transfer of troops is the most normal reaction. Otherwise, some of our commanders He and the senior staff have always felt that they are invincible, that Newton is just an exaggerated name, and that the Crusaders are just chickens and dogs that can collapse at the touch of a touch!"

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense.
