I Want To Be a Nobleman

Chapter 42: Vulnerable

  The defensive location selected by the Wasteland Reclamation Alliance has a good terrain. It is a hill with relatively broad terrain and relatively large undulating terrain. It can not only allow human troops to line up comfortably, but also restrict the centaur group from charging.

   Although they formed an alliance to fight together, the nobles still commanded their own troops, but they had their own tasks according to the tactical arrangements of the alliance.

   Like the previous dynasties, the unified command of the army is indeed higher in combat effectiveness and stronger cohesion, but the coalition forces have not thought of doing this.

   As soon as the soldiers had not run-in training, it was difficult to cooperate well when they were suddenly put into unfamiliar teams.

  Secondly, none of the nobles wants their troops to be commanded by others. Whoever makes more achievements in the process of opening up wasteland will gain more territory. You take my soldiers to kill the enemy, who is credited for?

   The corps of the Marquis of Prague alone is close to tens of thousands, and the 1,000-man corps of him and the dwarves are the main force in the center of the defensive formation.

   The other nobles defended both sides with the Marquis of Prague as the center. The strong and responsible front will be longer, and the weaker will be shorter.

   Although Marcus himself is strong and his knights also performed well, but because the number of troops is too small, there are only a thousand people, and he did not occupy the main position.

   Marcus’s territory is not in the eastern provinces, and it is much more difficult to recruit than other nobles. He only recruited a few hundred people with good conditions, and only one thousand veterans were brought from the territory.

   However, these thousand soldiers are all official soldiers with relatively strong combat effectiveness, and there is no mixed army.

   Marcus is arranged to defend a high ground on the right wing, where the terrain is the highest, and various traps and obstacles are set up, which is a better place to defend.

   The elves followed because that handsome elves and Tiona had a good relationship with Harlott, and it happened that the high ground on the right was also suitable for archery.

  Marcus inspired everyone: "If we win this battle, our wasteland reclamation plan is half the success! Honor, status, and wealth are all beckoning to us!"

   "Take up the courage to fight! Our battle will be recorded in the annals of history, and it will become a great feat in human history, and be praised by posterity! We are the heroes who broke new ground!"

   Marcus is very charming, this encouragement greatly increased the morale of the troops, and those soldiers who had never fought against a monster like a centaur also summoned their courage.

   Harlott was assigned an important task. A total of 200 elite infantrymen were under his command, including the 50 infantrymen he was in charge of, as well as those gladiators and Marcus’s core guards.

   The bald head is badly injured and unable to play, which is a pity, but Harlott believes that Marcus will not treat bald head badly.

   Harlott with these elites must firmly guard the front of the high ground to block the frontal attack of the Centaur.

   Several other knights led ordinary soldiers to defend both sides, Marcus...

Leading archers in the rear to shoot and ordinary soldiers to support when the situation is not good.

   The elves figured it out on their own, and Marcus was not qualified to order them, but fortunately, these elves were more cooperative and were next to the long-range troops under Marcus.

   The centaur came very quickly, and came to the alliance camp ten miles before noon. Each centaur was a behemoth weighing half a ton, and the 30,000 centaur was several times more spectacular than the 80,000 coalition.

   The centaur has no patience, nor is it a disciplined army. It is impossible to make tactical arrangements or divide forces.

   The centaur launched a general offensive on the coalition after only ten minutes of rest.

   Tens of thousands of centaurs launched a charge indiscriminately. There was no formation, no cover, and no division of the battle group. They just rushed towards the coalition forces in a hull. The open hills were crowded by the centaur, and it seemed a bit crowded.

   As the Grand Duke Lance said, the centaur army is completely mob. There is no formation and no tactics, just like the silly tactics of the whole army charging as soon as the game starts.

   Only the Thunder Tribe led by the centaur leader did not mess up the position, and continued to maintain the formation in the rear without attacking.

   More than 20,000 centaur troops are coming fiercely, rushing to the defensive line of the coalition forces overwhelmingly, and the sound of tens of thousands of horses stomping on the ground and the roar of the centaur are intertwined, deafening.

   Fortunately, the terrain has relatively large ups and downs, it is difficult for the Centaur to add up speed, and the deterrent power of the group charge is reduced by more than half.

The two sides began to shoot arrows at a distance. The movement of the half-man horse-drawn bow did not affect their movement at all. The centaur is stronger than a human, and the bowstring is also very tough. When it is fully drawn, the range is longer than most archers on the human side. Far.

   Centaur basically shoots an arrow before humans are able to counterattack. Fortunately, the Centaur is relatively contemptuous of humans and has extremely poor military literacy. It did not use the advantage of range to bully humans remotely.

   The accuracy of this kind of military engagement aiming is not so important. The Centaur's superiority in archery accuracy is not reflected.

   The soldiers on the human side raised their shields to defend. Even Harlott, a strong sword man, raised the steel shield on his back against the rain of arrows.

   Although the centaur can shoot far with great strength, the arrows they shoot out are made of stone, which has limited lethality to the human side equipped with shields and protected by bunkers.

   On the human side, in addition to bows and arrows, there are a small number of powerful crossbows. The enemy is a huge centaur, and a single salvo shot down hundreds of centaur.

   If it were not for the tenacious vitality of the centaur~www.readwn.com~, the two and three arrows would not get in the way at all, and the number of downfalls would have doubled.

  In the long-range confrontation, the coalition forces have the advantage, but unfortunately, there is no chance to shoot too many rounds to expand the advantage.

   The centaur's charge was very fast, even in the hills with large undulations, it quickly rushed to the coalition forces and started close combat.

  The coalition was originally sending in remotely...

The advantage gained on the fire is gone, regardless of the centaur formation, the team is in chaos, half a ton of weight and extraordinary strength are placed there, the human army is not an opponent at all.

   The front line that the human coalition was rushed into at the first time of the battle was completely chaotic, with heavy casualties. The defensive formations composed of formal soldiers and elite soldiers were easily torn apart. Thousands of human soldiers on the front were killed tragically.

   Thanks to the fact that it was on the hills, the Centaur did not increase the speed to launch a charge. Otherwise, it is estimated that the coalition forces will have more than 10,000 casualties, and it is possible that the morale will be reduced to zero and a direct defeat.

   The centaur's power is three times that of ordinary humans and twice that of elite soldiers. It weighs half a ton, and its vitality is far beyond that of humans.

   In small-scale battles, humans can still use their bodies to fight flexibly, but in this chaotic battlefield, strength and physique are the most critical.

   The physical disparity between humans and centaur causes humans to be at a disadvantage in head-on encounters.

   Except for the Chinese army, which was assisted by the dwarf corps, all the defense points of the nobles were crushed, several fronts were completely penetrated, and many soldiers began to rout.

   As soon as they met the coalition forces, they fell into such a big disadvantage. This is really beyond everyone's expectations. How can the rabble of the centaur army be so strong?
