Lord of War

   "Everyone, get ready to fight!" Lu Xiuan. Bloodhoof looked around at the crowd, and then said in a deep voice, "The wounded protect the other Bunny and Catwoman to evacuate, and the Catwoman will form a guard unit.... Luo Luo, you will be able to lead it, right?"

   "What about you guys?" Luo Luo frowned, "It is not a problem that Younis and I cooperate with other people to leave, but encircle..."

   "Leave a breath, we will go to you after we break through." Lu Xiu'an said in a deep voice, "Moreover, the task given by Lord William is almost complete."

   "I understand." Luo Luo nodded, and did not continue to say anything, "Then...may the beast **** protect you."

  Lu Xiuan stretched out his hand and punched his left chest, and said in a deep voice, "May the beast gods shelter you!"

  A burst of loud sounds, one after another.

  However, compared with the orcs, they basically believe in beast gods. As a branch of the highland elves, the highland elves are in the same ethnic group as the steppe elves, so the gods they believe in are the hunting goddess and the spring goddess. However, due to differences in living habits, it is just that most of the highland elves believe in the goddess of hunting, while the prairie elves believe in the goddess of spring water, but this is not absolute, so at this time there are also highland elves praying to the goddess of spring water.

  "Then, act according to the fighting rules set by Lord William for us." Lu Xi'an smiled, "Everyone, don't die so fast. I hope that after the battle is over, I can still drink with you."

   "Don't worry, we will definitely not die before you." Someone laughed.

  Immediately, the atmosphere of the whole team became enthusiastic, and it didn't seem like going to war at all.

  After a burst of laughter, Lu Xi'an took off the horn hanging on his waist and blew it.

  An ancient, low, dull sound, slowly sounded.

  Hearing the sound of the horn, everyone in the wild land felt the blood boiling in their bodies. A feeling of hotness made them all look extremely excited, and everyone felt that their bodies were full of a sense of strength at this moment. And because of this sense of power rising from their hearts, they felt fearless, and the excitement trembling made them all start to roar.

  Lu Xiuan nodded slightly to Luo Luo, and then led the group to set off.

  A thousand cat girls and a thousand rabbit girls and nearly a thousand wounded soldiers did not participate in the battle.

  The most complete combat power is maintained. It is 15,000 centaur and 3,000 highland elf sword dancers. Both werewolves and leopards have more or less damage, especially werewolves. In the case of non-looting raids, it was Cavens’s werewolf unit that was responsible for the frontal attack. Therefore, in several encounters and siege camps, the troops led by Cavens were under great pressure. .

  Five thousand werewolves, at this time more than 700 were reduced.

   Luo Luo stared at Lu Xi'an, Thaggy Grotel and others leaving, after she took a deep breath. Said: "Then... let's go."

soon. One thousand catgirls quickly dispersed in groups of twos and threes. In every catwoman group, there must be a rabbit girl to follow, and all groups began to move in a large fan-shaped formation. Rollo and Younis moved behind the large fan-shaped formation with the injured werewolves and leopards, and quickly left the encircling circle that was about to be closed.

  ...

  The encircling circle will have deterrent effect only when it is completely formed.

  If you want to get rid of the encirclement, the method is very simple.

   One is to leave before the encircling circle is formed, forcing the encircling circle to be forced to change or directly fail. The second is the siege to defeat the encirclement with absolute strength. Then he left openly. The former has extremely demanding requirements for speed, while the latter has extremely demanding requirements for strength.

certainly. In fact, there are third parties.

  That is to defeat one of the teams before the encirclement is formed, forcing the encirclement to be unable to close successfully.

   Give to Lu Xiu'an by William. The scale of the vanguard of the bloodhoof configuration, in fact, they can leave before the encirclement is completely closed, of course, the danger is not small. After all, the Fascist Kingdom is in desperate need of a major victory, so the intensity of this encirclement net will definitely be great. This is also the reason why the Fascist Kingdom directly mobilized two frontier garrisons to implement the encirclement and siege plan.

   But all of this, in fact, has long been in William's calculations.

  So the relevant action plan and coping strategy, William also told Lu Xi'an long ago. Bloodhoof is waiting.

  At this time, by Lu Xi'an. The troops led by Bloodhoof were advancing in the direction pointed out by Luo Luo and Younis before, heading toward the troop that implemented the encirclement plan.

  Because the two sides are close to each other, the distance between each other is constantly shortening.

  The only difference is that this unit of the Fascist Kingdom does not know the enemy’s approach, and Lu Xi'an. Bloodhoof knows the enemy's movements at this time. So from a purely strategic point of view, Luxiu'an at this time. Bloodhoof has the upper hand.

   Soon, the troops reached a plain.

  At the end of Lu Xi'an's line of sight, there was a small amount of dust rising, as if a breeze was blowing by, and it was like a small dust on the ground.

  The dust is light, and it seems that the size of the enemy army is not large. But everyone at the scene knows that this is because the distance between the two parties is too far apart. If the distance difference is taken into account, it is estimated that the number of enemy troops should be more than 20,000 horses based on this level of dust—the citizens of the wild land. Judging the size of cavalry troops through sand and dust often possesses extremely accurate judgment capabilities.

Luo Luo's mistake in judging this unit through hearing does not mean that her strength is not good, but that this unit is a typical mixed foot-riding unit, plus the distance is too far, so we can only judge a general idea. That's it.

   "Twenty thousand cavalry, infantry will definitely also have ten thousand to twenty thousand. Will this be the main force of the enemy's encirclement net?" Thaggy Grottel frowned.

"I don't know." Lu Xiu'an didn't shook his head clearly either. "Master William only talked about a few tactics that the opponent might perform, and told us how to deal with it. But what kind of target is selected, we can only look at it. We are out of luck... but I guess it is very likely that it is really the main force of the border garrison."

   "Hey, what are you afraid of? I think I have made enough money in these days of fighting!" Cavens gave a grin and moved his neck. There was a crackling noise.

   "Don't worry, I will collect your body when you die." Atlas grinned, "Your sister, I will also take care of you."

   "Haha, don't worry. I will drag you on the road if I die." Cavens laughed. "On the way to the Throne of the Beast God, I would be boring without you arguing with me.... Besides, I will need someone to accompany you when I drink in the future."

  Lu Xiu glanced at Sarchi Grottel who was sitting on his back, and smiled: "What do you say?"

  This highland elf, who is not a low status now, smiled and took off the hip flask on his waist, raised his head and took a big sip, and then handed it to Lu Xi'an. Bloodhoof. The latter is also welcome. After taking the hand, he raised his head and poured a big mouthful. A lot of drinks were spilled directly, flowing along Lu Xi'an's collarbone toward his chest, then he flicked the flask boldly and wiped his mouth: "Go!"

  The whole army continued to advance vigorously.

   But this time, they did not rush on the road crazy, but just kept a constant pace and moved forward slowly.

  The array of werewolves is at the forefront, and their chests are undulating. Each time, I took a big breath, and then slowly exhaled. Strength is constantly accumulating. The leopards wandered on both sides of the werewolf phalanx. They did not have the obvious and strong breathing rhythm like the werewolves, but the slightly bulging chests also fully expressed the strength accumulated in their hearts; walking at the end, It is a centaur phalanx. They have taken down their bows and arrows, and are debugging while walking forward; the highland elves are following the centaur, slightly behind the werewolf phalanx. After all, they are not fighting next. Sharp knife force.

The    team, moving forward in silence, there is no smoke and dust, but the momentum is particularly strong.

  The human force ahead is obviously a lot closer, because the smoke and dust that has been rising has gradually become obvious and intense.

  The werewolves showed excitement, and with their eyesight, they were able to see the enemy well.

   "It's Qingqi." Cavens grinned, "There are probably more than 10,000 infantry next to him. They should be the person in charge of the search line....should be the main force."

   "Then you don't need to be polite." Lu Xiu'an nodded, and then waved his hand, and the movement of the whole army began to accelerate in an instant.

The   Border Garrison Corps may not be very strong in general, but the size of its forces is definitely very large, at least about 100,000 people. Moreover, in order to guard against various war situations, the regiments stationed on the border generally consist of light infantry, heavy infantry, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, and long-range attack units. The main component of the army is generally infantry. Deployed to implement the encirclement plan, the main force must be the Qingqi-based troops.

  Because only Qingqi has enough mobility to quickly enter the designated position on the battlefield within a specified time. However, in order to avoid the tragic destruction of the light cavalry units, they will definitely be equipped with infantry, usually a combination of light and heavy infantry corps. The main purpose is to quickly form a line of defense after reaching the destination, and execute search and reduce the encirclement net.

  The interception in front of him is at Luxuan. The troops in front of Bloodhoof and others are indeed the main force of the Third Frontier Army of the Fascist Kingdom in charge of encircling the net this time, consisting of 20,000 light cavalry and 15,000. Behind the main force of this encirclement is the most important 10,000 heavy cavalry unit of the Third Frontier Army of the Kingdom of Fascism, and the encirclement units responsible for interception in other directions are all from 10,000 to 20,000. Composed of combined infantry units.

  In addition, in the other direction, the Fourth Frontier Army of the Fascist Kingdom is rushing over here. The basic composition is similar to that of the Third Frontier Army.

  The two border garrisons were originally used for emergency support in the case of Vangersburg to delay time. As a result, this time, because William used a barren land force with mobility far beyond the normal level of a human country, he forced the two border forces to abandon their original military missions and instead form an encirclement at the first time. Annihilate this vanguard force that has caused trouble behind the border.

And the few aristocratic territories closest to the border line have also first conscripted a part of the private soldiers rushed here to support-the strategic position of Fort Vangers, for William and others, belongs to the nature of the bridgehead. Once occupied, , The Void Duchy’s deterrent power against the Fascist Kingdom can radiate to the three nearby territories, and at the same time form a horn with the border between the Ryan Kingdom and the Fascist Kingdom.

  Any general of the fascist kingdom with a little strategic vision, would not helplessly watch Vangersburg fall into William’s hands.

  It’s just that, the first prerequisite to avoid Vangersburg falling into William’s hands. It is to solve this vanguard force first.

  Blowing sand and dust, it is impossible for the troops on the human side to turn a blind eye.

  However, the imaginary panic did not appear. Perhaps as a border army, they have been used to such sudden encounters during the war all the year round—especially on the plains, and there is no place to hide. Once the two sides are too close, they are directly red. bare. Exposed naked in the field of vision. The only advantage that Lu Xi'an and others can occupy. It is to start a charge outside the enemy's field of vision. After all, the size of this unit of the Third Frontier Army of the Fascist Kingdom is too large, even if it wants to adjust its formation, it cannot be adjusted in an instant.

  The werewolves, rushing fast on all fours; the leopards had already ran away from the side, bypassing a large circle, and began to roundabout. The highland elves consume a lot of energy because of fast running. So they are temporarily riding on the backs of centaur. The centaur took the skill of following the werewolf and quickly approached the battlefield.

  The distance between the two sides is shortening rapidly.

  "Arrange the guns!" In the phalanx of the human legion, a commander began to issue instructions.

In the infantry phalanx that has barely formed, the pikemen standing in the forefront have squatted down and quickly raised their spears. force. The infantry of other arms in the rear is also quickly entering their combat positions in accordance with the combat array. Although they did not expect to encounter enemies here, their good military literacy did ensure that they did not collapse in the first place.

  And the cavalry. He has already adjusted his direction and is preparing for a charge.

   But facing the forward machine gun forest that the enemy opened, the werewolves didn’t rush up stupidly. Instead, under the leadership of Cavens, they ran to the left and went around a semicircle. And the centaur, who had been keeping a distance of almost a hundred meters from the werewolves, also entered the combat range immediately after the werewolves, and were only about 500 meters away from the enemy spearmen's phalanx.

   "Peng!"

  A strong bowstring trembling sounded.

   Tens of thousands of arrows, just like this, fell towards the enemy’s phalanx from the front in a completely covering blow.

Unlike conventional archers’ lob shots, the centaur’s riding and shooting technique is known for covering strikes—the front centaur directly shoots horizontally, while the rear centaur raises the angle slightly by about fifteen degrees. The centaur in the back row raises the angle to 30 degrees, and the centaur in the last row has a projectile and lob shot from 45 degrees to 60 degrees, and the order of shooting is from back to front. Enter.

  This gives people the illusion of a densely covered envelop.

  Many infantrymen who were too late to respond quickly fell in this wave of centaur harvest, especially the spearmen standing in the forefront. Soldiers in the rear position and heavy infantry with shields and armor are better. Others can't escape this rain of arrows like locusts, even if the commander is screaming frantically. With slogans such as shielding and sheltering, the casualties were still tragic.

  The formation of the infantry corps began to be chaotic.

   Whether it is Lu Xi'an. Bloodhoof, or Thach Grotel, or Kafens, Atlas, all the orcs and highland elves have a sense of excitement at this moment. This head-on field encounter, after completely obeying William's designated battle formation technique, achieved such unexpected results, which they couldn't imagine anyway.

  Because it stays deep in their memory, it is the human army that has very strong combat and defensive capabilities, and their equipment is very sophisticated. And they, who usually hide in the fortifications, are almost like tortoises shrunk in a hard shell.

   But now, in just a covering arrow strike, the enemy's infantry formation has been messed up, which makes this vanguard force instantly obtain extremely important and affirming belief!

   Centaur troops, in the process of running and shooting, they did not follow the direction of the werewolf to run away to the left, but moved quickly toward the right side of the leopard's roundabout. However, this kind of high-speed movement also has a difference in speed. The formation of the entire centaur began to grow longer, just like a thread that is constantly pulling out of a thread.

  There was another bowstring trembling.

  This time. The centaur's shooting is shot from the right side, and the shooting method in a straight line ensures that all the centaur can shoot straight out, without the need to attack with a full coverage strike as before. But this time, because we had prepared in advance, the casualty rate was actually not as high as the first covered strike before. It's just that the centaur placed all their attacks on the right side. Therefore, naturally, the entire enemy formation was pulled and deformed more severely.

  The enemy commander finally understood how terrifying the deterrent power of the Centaur on this battlefield is.

  So, he did not hesitate to order the cavalry to start charging towards the centaur.

  As soon as the cavalry started running, the werewolves on the left also rushed into the deformed and chaotic infantry phalanx.

  Almost all the main defense forces are concentrated on the right, so the defense on the left is relatively weak. The werewolves are known for their physical fitness, and their individual strength and attack power are definitely stronger than ordinary humans. Especially when confidence is extremely strong at this moment. Their combat effectiveness has exploded to a higher level.

   Like a sharp and warm knife sliding into the butter, Cavens smiled and led the troops into the infantry phalanx. Although they are still slightly at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, the pressure they have to face when breaking into the square is extremely high. But what is unbelievable is that the entire infantry phalanx has no way to stop these werewolves from charging and killing, and it can't even delay their breaking speed.

   On the other side, the light cavalry who charged out, at this time, could not return at all. Even if they were willing to return, they had already entered the middle of the infantry phalanx. It can almost be said that the werewolves integrated with the entire infantry phalanx, they are also powerless. The only thing that can be done at this time. Only after catching up with the centaur, inflicting heavy damage on them, turning around to clean up these werewolves.

But what everyone didn’t expect was that, in the eyes of humans, the centaur—the highland elves riding on the back of the centaur—that should have been made up of cavalry. Already relying on the sensitive physical reaction ability and balance ability, it quickly landed and formed a unique defensive array of sword dancers.

After losing the weight of the highland elves, the speed of the centaur troops suddenly increased a lot, especially the part of the centaur that was originally drawn in a straight line, also speeded up the running speed, and the whole troop quickly broke into pieces. But this time their integration time was not long. Almost immediately after the integration, they immediately turned around and dispersed into two troops on the left and right, rushing out from both sides of the highland elf troops.

The   Highland Elf troops also greeted the 20,000 light cavalry on the front at this moment.

  Three thousand to twenty thousand.

  This extremely wide gap ratio, put it on any battlefield, all commanders know that it will be a matter of time before the entire formation is pierced.

   However, the development of reality has given the entire cavalry unit an unexpected deviation.

  The hundreds of highland elves at the forefront really couldn't stop the charge of the cavalry troops. Even if these cavalry were light cavalry, many highland elves were still knocked into flight. However, the unique **** and arrogant nature of the wild land also allowed these elves to leave a scar on the enemy while they were being hit and flying.

As a result, when the charge of 20,000 cavalry soldiers decreased in this way, until nearly 2,000 highland elves were directly or seriously injured in the battle, or died in battle, or trampled or thrown to death, they broke into Almost two-thirds of the cavalry force's charge has disappeared!

   Their charge was completely stuck!

   "Wow!"

  A short spear broke through the air, and then pierced the neck of a cavalryman.

  The cavalry with a somewhat unbelievable look, slowly slipped from the horse and fell down.

  A sword light slashed head-on.

  A highland elf swung his sword and jumped, and the blade slashed from bottom to top, slashing a cavalry to the ground. But before the highland elf landed, a cavalry lance pierced through the body of the highland elf, like a skewer, but did not wait for the cavalry to show up. Because of the joy of assassinating the enemy, the highland elf who was pierced through his body showed a grin, and a backhand pierced the cavalry's heart.

   Then, countless short spears threw out through the air.

The centaurs on both sides of    have already begun to attack. Only this time, instead of using bows and arrows, they were throwing short spears—at a distance of less than two hundred meters, for the centaur, this kind of throwing didn’t require aiming at all. Every time they attacked The short spear can definitely hit an enemy, and most of the attacks are enough to kill the enemy in one blow because of the terrible penetration of the short spear.

The leopards who circled around did not come to assist the centaur and the highland elves. They swiftly and swiftly entered the infantry phalanx at the back of the battlefield.

Although the infantry who was dealing with the attacks of the werewolves expected this leopard force, the enemy commander did not adapt to the cooperation and fighting style of these orcs. He thought that these leopard men should be similar to reserve cavalry. Even if it goes into battle, it should support the highland elves and centaur, and attack the light cavalry. After all, the phalanx of the highland elves is almost pierced, and once the phalanx is pierced, the cavalry forces will charge again. Enough to hit this vanguard force once again.

   Therefore, in their conventional tactical thinking, they must give priority to solving the cavalry units that have not opened the formation in the first time.

  Unexpectedly, these Leopards ignored the cavalry units at all, but broke into the infantry phalanx, forming an alternative internal and external offensive with the werewolves who were constantly charging.

  This time, the entire infantry phalanx finally failed to withstand this two-way pressure and was completely penetrated.

And the werewolves who broke through the formation formation did not turn around and go through them backwards like a cavalry. All the werewolves who broke out of the formation took their weapons into the wolf’s mouth, and then jumped forward again with limbs. When they landed on the ground, they ran, and this time their attack target was the cavalry unit, and they still entered from the rear.

The Leopard troops led by Atram broke out and dispersed immediately, directly cutting the entire chaotic and incomplete infantry phalanx in the form of a squad, so that every part of the enemy army was required. Suffered by two to three teams surrounded by blows.

  This is the most common cannibalization tactic used by infantry soldiers who have fallen into the heat of battle after the cavalry has penetrated the enemy's formation.

  Usually, once the cannibalization tactics are deployed by one side, it often means that the phalanx is not far from being defeated.

  As for the cavalry unit that was stuck in a stagnant state, after the werewolves at the back joined the battle, the entire formation became more chaotic in an instant. Especially the werewolf’s completely irregular style of play: they either leaped and threw the cavalry down from the horse, or exuded the scent of a wolf that was terrified by the war horse, or hacked the war horse and vision with blood red eyes. The cavalry inside, or simply kills the horses and ignores the enemies who fall.

  The battlefield is already in chaos.

   And along with this chaos, the tragic **** atmosphere completely spread on the battlefield. (To be continued~^~)

  PS: 　　唔, regarding the massacres in the previous two chapters, it seems that someone expressed dislike. …Actually, to be honest, I thought about it for a long time, and finally wrote this paragraph according to the original manuscript, mainly because of the practice of "war is cruel in the first place." The special geographical conditions of the wild land have caused the wild land to be often slaughtered and captured by human nations. Therefore, William led the troops of the wild land to fight this time. Although the main purpose is to unite them, some concepts will be too soon. It cannot be reversed, and as a real commander-in-chief, William sometimes needs to be colder. Since this state cannot be prevented, then treating this as a tactical use has become his first consideration. …Of course, this kind of plot that I also feel disgusted with will definitely not be written in detail or more, just a stroke.
