Transcendent Noble

The flock relies on the leadership of the head sheep. If the head sheep falls off the cliff, the flock will jump down. In fact, this is a powerful group consciousness at work. Group consciousness can easily control individual will, and even make members of the group forget the instinct to fear death. Even if some individuals are aware of the danger, they have no room for struggle and can only be pushed into the abyss by the group.

Social creatures are all affected by group consciousness, and highly socialized humans are no exception.

In a cruel war in Earth world, 60,000 soldiers fell under the muzzle of heavy machine guns in one day. Behind the tragic casualties was the military commander’s cognitive error. Group consciousness has magnified this error infinitely.

This is the case for the most intelligent human beings, not to mention the Centaur.

In addition to the Blue Eyed tribe, the newly appointed Great Khan Porta summoned the violent leaders of the other tribes above the Silver Step to jointly expand the escape route in the southeast corner. It does this, on the one hand, to allow the half-man Ma Dajun to break through the south-east direction as quickly as possible, avoiding trampling and chaos. On the other hand, it hasn't settled on the seat of the Great Khan, keeping the Khan, Thousand-man Commander, and the ferocious commander of the Silver Order of the various tribes around, which has the meaning of intimidating the hostages.

Even if the half-man Ma Dajun breaks through smoothly, Porta and Alita do not want the coalition forces of the various tribes to disperse in this way, otherwise Porta can only be a great khan for a day. Entrap the Khan and Thousand-man Commander of various tribes, delay the end of the war, and lead the Sidon Centaur to fight a few more battles with humans. As long as no serious mistakes are made, the sacrifice of the Great Khan and Alita is considered real. Well deserved.

Only by kidnapping the leader of various tribes, hundreds of thousands of Sidon Centaur warrior will run with the Great Khan.

Porta and Alita think so, and do so. But they missed the Thousand-man Commander, the centaur of the Blue Eyed tribe, which was also the head horse.

Waves of cow dung incendiary bombs fell from the sky, dragging heavy smoke, and hitting the southeast corner of the Centaur Camp. Although the formidable power was small, it lit the animal hide tent on the Centaur back. The foul-smelling smoke coming to choke the nose. The Centaur on fire spun wildly, causing panic to spread, and the smooth evacuation action suddenly became chaotic.

It’s okay. The range of the catapult on the eastern front of humanity is seven more than a hundred meters. It would not take much time for Porta and Thousand-man Commander to destroy the catapult. As long as they destroy half of the trebuchets, the evacuation of the Southeast Passage can restore order.

The human knight cluster crossed the barrier of the blue-eyed centaur and rushed into the centaur camp. This problem is not big. Although the centaur leaders above the Silver Step are concentrated near the passage in the southeast corner, they will not be able to run back for a while to contend with the extraordinary powerhouse of humans. However, the general violent leaders of the tribes have brought ordinary centaur warriors to make circular defensive maneuvers. The Knight cluster composed of extraordinary Knights, Knights, mid-to-high-level Paladins and battle priests has only more than 3,000 people. This number of human powerhouses can only be counted as a whole in a battle of this scale. Ordinary centaur can't beat this group of human powerhouses, won't they run around them?

The Duke of Barcelius opened the passage at the northeast corner of the defense line. Under the pressure of the human Knight, part of the centaur warrior ran out of the gap in the northeast. The Great Khan Porta looked very happy. The leaders of the tribes were all by his side. The centaur warrior escaped from the other direction first, circled in a big circle, got rid of the pursuit of the human army, and still took the initiative. Run over and find the leaders of their respective tribes.

The Qingyan Thousand-man Commander led the remaining members of the tribe to withdraw from the battlefield from the northeast corner, everything changed.

More than 20,000 blue-eyed centaurs are galloping on the battlefield. The 160,000 elite soldiers on the western front really dare not act rashly. In battle, it is not always possible to win with more people. The key to victory lies in the effective use of space. Everyone occupies a certain amount of space, and the 160,000 army will all end. Most of the people can't touch the centaur at all, but will hinder the movement of the Templar, which is equivalent to a shield for the centaur.

Who said that two legs can't run on four legs?

As soon as the Centaur was responsible for the broken centaur, the 160,000 army will attack the center to attack the left and right wings of the Centaur camp. Due to the lengthening of the battle line, almost every soldier exerts battle strength. With their sophisticated armor, they rushed forward against the centaur’s arrow rain, throwing two rounds of javelins, and then slammed in to get close to the centaur. Hand-to-hand combat.

Compared to medium-sized humans, centaur combat requires more space. They could still be entangled with the Knight group. As the 160,000 elite infantry and the 60th Templar squeezed their battle space, Knight's killing efficiency doubled and increased, and the centaurs were completely panicked. There were also some fierce centaurs who led their circular arrow formations into a group charge, and they fought a few small counterattacks. But they couldn't form a cluster of tens of thousands, and only two or three thousand centaurs were quickly extinguished by the human army. Coupled with the fact that the Qingyan tribe rushed out of the encirclement with the head horse, many centaurs ran out following the Qingyan tribe almost instinctively.

The human army is like a clenched fist, squeezing the sponge forcefully, and the centaur is like water in the sponge, flowing out from the gap in the fist.

Porta, the khan of various tribes, and Thousand-man Commander were all pushed away by the centaur. In this case, they have nothing to do and can only run out with a centaur warrior.

The generals cannot control the army, but are trapped by the army. This is called defeat.

More and more centaur flees, the pressure on the human army is getting less and less, the soldiers on the north and south wings once again sealed the escape route, and the remaining centaur became a turtle in the urn. The catapults and ballistas on the east front are fully fired, and incendiary strikes take turns, turning countless centaurs into fire horses, but panic and chaos are more deadly than flames. At this time, the chaos and fear skills that the battle priest displayed on the centaur were amazingly good. A single spell can make a small group of centaurs murderous regardless of enemy and us.

Emotions of fear and despair spread like a plague in the army, so soldiers have to blindly hack and kill. This is called a bombing camp.

After the defeat, they came to the bombing camp again. The centaur was weakened. A few clear-headed centaur sacrificed their lives to attack the tortoiseshell sword formation on the west front. It was also a suicide action without suspense.

Ordinary soldiers and Paladin can't see the overall situation of the battlefield, they just immerse themselves in the fight. The high-rank Knight and the high-rank priest saw the bomb camp on the battlefield for the first time. While they were surprised, they did not forget to protect the flanks of the army.

The Radiance Knight regiment and the blood Wolf Knight regiment left the battlefield and joined the Griffin Knight regiment and Moonbear Knight regiment of the Duke of Barcelius, as well as the Iron Wall Knight regiment of Dodo and the Swift Dragon Knight regiment of Cambis , Hovering on the left wing of the battlefield, to prevent the ferocious centaur from leading his men from attacking the rear of the human army.

Actually, Porta and the Centaur Khan have no intention to counterattack the human army now. The blue-eyed tribe left, kidnapped tens of thousands of centaur warriors from various tribes, and it seemed that they did not intend to converge with Porta Khan. While the centaur Khan of various tribes scolded the blue-eyed Thousand-man Commander as a traitor, they encouraged Porta Khan to punish the blue-eyed traitor.

For them, the most urgent thing is to gather the centaur abducted by the blue-eyed tribe, rather than smash to the end with the human Knight.

The blue-eyed Thousand-man Commander knew that Porta would not let him go. It encumbered the half-man Ma Dajun and fled all the way north without stopping. Porta took the Centaur Khan in a big circle, and finally did not go after the Blue Eyed tribe, but chose to move east.

In short, the two Centaur runs disappeared without a trace, and the human army has no worries about the future, and fully kills the trapped Centaur.

In the evening, the last centaur fell in a pool of blood, and the soldiers cheered triumphantly.

In this battle, more than 7,000 coalition forces were killed in battle, more than 3,000 were seriously injured and disabled, and more than 11,000 troops were lost. However, the human coalition annihilated more than 48,000 centaurs in total. Compared with the previous record, it can be called a victory that humans have never achieved against orcs in thousands of years.

Of course, the war is not over yet, but this victory means that Sasan Empire has switched from a strategic defense to a strategic offensive, and the human coalition has gained the initiative in the war.

The soldiers who participated in the battle returned to the camp to rest, conserve strength and store up energy, and prepare to chase down the centaur who fled the battlefield in the second day; the garrison of the castle, the camp and the guard came out to clean the battlefield; the Knight regiments Responsible for the night watch on the battlefield to prevent accidents.

The leaders of the coalition forces gathered around a bonfire to discuss the gains and losses of this battle and the subsequent changes of the war.

Pastor Kent’s face was flushed by the fire, his eyes excited, and his voice said loudly: "Praise my lord! The battle of hundreds of thousands of people, I used to read only in the collection room of the Holy Castle of Ivory Through relevant war history documents. For thousands of years, we have been the only commander who has commanded large-scale battles and won. To be honest, your Highness and I lack experience in general warfare. It is the Lord of Radiance of Supreme who guided us to win Victory!"

The Patriarch Flides praised: "Kent Brother is right. In the past, human soldiers clashed with Centaur and were always at a disadvantage. If there were no high-level Knights and high-level With the support of the priest, the soldiers will basically lose if 1000 cavalry is against 1000 centaur, and soldiers will definitely lose when 8000 cavalry is against 80,000 centaur. We always think that centaur is inherently stronger than human beings, and one centaur can reach two soldiers, think To defeat the Centaur, more troops must be invested. In this battle, the long-range Fireball projection and the divine technique of spiritual punishment played a vital role. Thousands of Centaur died in the attack and trampling of their companions."

"This is the Lord's punishment of the orcs through our hands, and the precious revelation the Lord has given us."

The Paused Paused, smiled and asked: "Kent Brother, how do you think of using it? The trebuchet, throwing cow dung incendiary bombs at the half-man Ma Dajun?"

Kent habitually touched the neat short beard, said with a laugh: "I lived in Raven Town for a long time. , And have friendship with His Royal Highness Randal. Ant plague is a big concern for Centaur Hills. His Royal Highness Randal often discusses with me the tactics to deal with ant tides. Because Ant-Man is afraid of fire, the fortifications of Centaur Hills pay more attention to fire. Cow dung incendiary bombs are three. The anti-ant city wall is a common combat material. It is light in weight, convenient to transport, and has a much longer projection distance than rocks. It is very effective against ant tides. It’s a centaur... Head, but who wants a centaur like to carry a tent?"

Emperor Frederick, the two Duke of Barcelius, and the Radiance Knight regiment all looked at Kent quietly, and they waited patiently. His eyes fully expressed his intentions.

Throwing stones and incendiary bombs should have similar killing effects on centaur. On the battlefield, the number of centaur burned to death is actually very limited. If incendiary bombs are replaced by stone bombs, there will be more centaur killed directly by the catapult. However, the negative impact of the incendiary bomb is far more terrifying than its lethality. The centaur killing each other started from the burned companion, and finally affected all the centaur behind. At first, the centaur wanted to do their best to extinguish the flames on the backs of their companions, even if they were kicked by the opponent. When the front of the camp is oppressed by the human line, the space becomes narrow, because the fearful centaur will kill his companions, no matter whether he is burned or not, he will catch the centaur around him. Murderous, leading to the final bombing camp.

The idea of ​​Pastor Kent using the cow dung incendiary bomb is really wonderful. However, what your Highnesses valued is not a brilliant idea, but the principle of the battle, or the know-how that must be mastered.

Since the vassal system, there have been few large-scale battles between the human kingdom and the orcs. There are both internal and external factors. On the one hand, the Pope’s lineage and the Knight’s aristocratic forces have long been invaded, and the priest Legion and the secular lords cannot fight together; on the other hand, except for the goblin king, the overwhelming majority orc king does not have the objectiveness to launch a big battle. condition. The infiltration, destruction, reproduction, and expulsion of small orcs are the main reasons why humans continue to lose soil. According to the needs of the actual situation, the human war mode basically applies Knight squad reverse osmosis and castle defense. People vividly compare it to the wolf pack plus wolf nest tactic.

Sasan Empire’s Knight squad comes standard with 1 Knight, 4 trainee Knights, 1 combat priest, 6 Paladins, and 20 elite cavalry, a total of 32 men, which can be expanded to 68 cavalry, with a full set of 100 people. 80 full-management 100-man Knight squad, 8000-man Legion, is already the largest combat group in the human kingdom, led by a Golden Knight.

Sasan Empire once had a Legion that was wiped out by Legendary Centaur Orogar, and the entire human kingdom was shocked.

If it were not for the Sidon Centaur's brain pumping and a collective attack on the Eastern Frontier, the Radiance Knight regiment and Sasan Empire would not have to summon 400,000 armies of the human kingdom to fight with them.

It now appears that the Centaur’s unwise all-out war was a plot by the Centaur Favored to unify the Sidon Khanate, by the way, to clean up the excess goblin slaves in the territory.

In any case, neither centaur nor humans fought a large-scale battle.

The poor logistic ability of the Centaur determines that they have no chance of winning. In fact, the Centaur is not ready to fight a decisive battle with humans. , Are ready to go home for the winter. They run fast on their four legs, and don't pay attention to the short-legged human army at all, but Sasan Empire will not let the centaur escape easily.

The combat strategy proposed by Pastor Kent is novel and bold. He organized the mid-to-high-ranking transcenders into the Knight cluster separately, with the Templars as the main offensive force, and the elite cavalry as the reserve team, and put them on the battlefield in batches. This style of play completely overturned the traditional wolf pack plus wolf nest tactics, but everyone carefully listened to Kent's opinions, and after careful study, no loopholes were found, and they agreed to adopt his combat strategy.

Facts have proved that Kent’s combat strategy is effective and very effective. The casualties of the coalition forces are far lower than that of the Centaur.

The defeat of the Centaur is in line with everyone's expectations, but why is it so beautiful?

"Big Mouth" Kent asked excitedly: "You have all heard of the Grand Legion strategy that Victor has been thinking about?"

Victor's work on the Grand Legion strategy, everyone I've heard it a long time ago. The Randal Family recruited and hired Legion to win the support of Pope Clement. The Great Influence initially regarded this matter as a post-dinner talk. It was not until Victor's reputation grew that he really paid attention to his big Legion strategy.

However, the high lords generally believe that the political significance of the Grand Legion is higher than its actual combat value. Because the Big Legion itself represents the prelude to the era of great pioneering, the refugee group is legally included in the pioneering link.

As for, how much battle strength can hiring Legion have? It hasn't been tested in actual combat, and no one knows this question clearly.

Emperor Frederick turned his face and asked uncertainly: "Kent, you mean...His Royal Highness Randal has perfected the principles of battle for the Great Legion?"
