……

The war was finalized in this way, and the Hyperion Legion quickly stopped marching, preparing to launch a defensive decisive battle on this hill. Although all the officers were extremely dissatisfied with this decision, they still accepted this order. Conlian The brigade commander saw that his cavalry was exhausted and unable to continue, so he could only announce that he would return to the army and wait for tomorrow's decisive battle. They were all worried, and they looked like they couldn't lift their spirits.

71 Drums of War

Brigadier Conlian was digging his clear soup spoon by spoon. He was not in the mood to eat dinner at all. Not only him, but the other brigade commanders also looked dejected, as if a catastrophe was coming. Cavalry officer The big tent was filled with a depressive atmosphere, no one wanted to speak, and they all ate the food in their mouths weakly, letting go of all thoughts.

"Hey, hey, I said, what's wrong with you guys? Why are you so dejected?"

The two cavalry commanders came in from the outside, seeing the dejected look of the people in front of them, they couldn't help reprimanding them angrily, but they didn't reply, they just stood up and bowed, waiting for the division commander's next words.

"Hey, sit down, eat, eat." The commander of the light cavalry waved helplessly for everyone to eat, and sat in the center with the commander of the heavy cavalry to discuss tactics. He behaved so unbearably in front of his subordinates.

"Do you have any ideas for tomorrow?"

"Yes, but it's useless. Who would have thought of fighting against my own people? I thought about fighting against the tide of monsters, fighting against the Eighteen Principalities in the West, and sometimes even fantasizing about fighting against the demons during the deduction, but I just didn't expect it One day you will have to fight other legions."

"Then you're done playing?"

"I can't finish it, I'm a heavy cavalry, I just need to attack according to the formation, and then change the formation according to the situation, the one-size-fits-all style of play, but you, you have to face twice as many light cavalry against you, What are you going to do?"

"What can we do? Procrastinate. As long as we can hold back the cavalry on the opposite side, we can maintain a certain basic advantage in the main battlefield. Our Hyperion Legion has been stationed in the central province, and there are many war magicians. Although it is still at a disadvantage, but It can also maintain a certain balance, it depends on how the mages play, it would be best if they can hit Schwanov's observation area at once, so no matter what you say, you can win."

"You can really think nonsense."

The heavy cavalry commander couldn't help laughing, and the light cavalry commander also laughed helplessly. Just kidding, why should the magician troops give priority to supporting them?The frontal infantry and archers have to face twice as many enemies. It is difficult to do anything under the disadvantage of numbers, and it becomes extremely difficult to even arrange tactics.

"Have you seen that brave man? I heard that the nobles in the royal city are all looking forward to his role, but I think it will be difficult to have any great effect in front of this overwhelming force. "

The commander of the heavy cavalry took out two cigarettes from his breastplate, one for you and one for me and lit it under the lamp. After touching each other for a long time, they suddenly realized that this was the latest magic lantern, and they went their separate ways. They took out their pockets, but the matches had already been used up, so they could only stare blankly at each other.

"Conlian! Come on."

The commander of the light cavalry called Conlian to come over. Conlian understood what was going on when he saw the cigarettes in their hands, and took out a match from his trouser pocket to light the two.

"Kanglian, and others, don't be so depressed. You are all like this. What should your regiment commander, battalion commander, and squadron leader do? Tomorrow, you must be alert and fight hard, beautifully." The commander of the light cavalry said to Conlian.

"Okay, I promise to complete the task."

Conlian had no intention of continuing to eat. He hurriedly shouted for the commuter to put away the dishes and returned to his tent. He didn't even have the mood to look at the soldiers. He just wanted to go to sleep and spend this damn hard night. He lay in the tent Here, he turned off the lantern that was not very bright, covered himself with a quilt, and prepared to sleep.

But the noise outside made it difficult for him to fall asleep, and the irritability made him very depressed. He didn't understand why the armies that had once defended the kingdom fought each other, let alone why they were asked to leave tomorrow when they could evacuate. Sticking to the decisive battle, he didn't understand these "wars" that didn't belong to soldiers, so he turned around again, opened his eyes with his hands on his pillow, and began to think about something.

He is a nobleman from the royal city, and he is nicknamed the "Zhenghuangqi" master. Before he joined the army, he had seen the open and secret struggle between the two factions. It is hard for people to understand that the situation has finally reached this point. Annoyed and worried, I finally chose not to sleep hard, but to go out and have a look.

He took off his armor and put on the white military uniform that he carried with him. According to his current thinking, he should have a better look before he dies. After all, the clothes were only issued a few years ago, and the chances of wearing them are even more rare. , and cherish it very much, so he seldom wears it, but not now.

He listened to the low whining of the horses, and saw the cavalry sitting in twos and threes in front of the fire, wrapping their cloaks tightly and thinking about tomorrow's battle. Although everyone was not very optimistic about tomorrow's battle, they were also discussing excitedly. These young people , I still don’t understand the fate of tomorrow, only those armored infantrymen are walking around in a hurry, those veterans who have been in the military for many years will naturally not be as optimistic as them, those armored infantrymen are desperately sharpening their knives in the moonlight, wiping themselves Many infantrymen knelt down in front of the military priest and prayed. The priest put the scriptures on a small cabinet for them to pray for tomorrow's victory. This is the only way for the soldiers to comfort them. nothing more.

He saw that on the most central hill, the headquarters of Earl Karashov and General Leodore had been erected there. There is no danger outside. The headquarters was established at the foot of the mountain, probably located in the lower part of the middle of the mountain. He is still studying tactics. After all, this is his legion and his painstaking effort. Those who have not been in the army for a day can understand.

The magicians will probably be divided into two parts. They will build positions on two shorter hills. If they want to prevent being counterattacked by the opponent's magicians, the fortifications must be done extremely well.The commuters are desperately waving their shovels to expand the top of the two hills, so that the hills can be divided evenly. Magicians are extremely expensive. They need apprentices to help them out, and they need to help them get spices and magicians. Jing's, help with the scrolls, these people are dragons and phoenixes, whether we can win this war depends entirely on them! "

He didn't think about that any more, the soldiers were in a hurry, but they were determined to prepare for the battle, and he also saw the archer singing a song to relieve the pressure before the battle.

He sat down, sat on the withered grass, looked up at the bright starry sky, the river of stars was flowing in the sky, the gods slept peacefully, leaving only the brilliance of Shangpa, the moon god, shining on the earth, he stared at the river of stars He was so engrossed that he forgot the past, tomorrow, war, and his military career for a moment.

The stars shining in the sky are fascinating, and he suddenly thought, those priests, those theologians who huddled in the tower, looked up to the sky with their large telescopes every day, didn't they feel so happy?

Settling down, he gradually fell asleep. He was drowsy and fell asleep in this cold night. Several soldiers came over and quietly carried him back to the tent, wishing him that he would not dream of iron and blood tonight, but It's a good dream.

……

"Line up! Check your armor and weapons! Be sure to hold on for a while! No matter how close the magic hits you! As long as you are not dead, you can still walk and run! Just keep the formation for me!! "

The officers of the light infantry and armored infantry rode horses in front of the formation, brandishing their long knives and shouting. They were doing encouragement before the formation, and were ready to fight forward at any time. It was already the next day, and the entire battlefield was full of shouts. With roars and reprimands, all the officers were desperately boosting their morale, and commanded them to form various formations, preparing for the impact that might come at any time, and getting ready for battle.

The military band played loud and sonorous music. They were cheering for the army as much as possible. This was not only to boost morale, but also to maintain the formation of the army. When the military music is chaotic, the army often begins to be chaotic. Their responsibilities are not So useless as described in some "books".The big drum was sounded first, then various heavy instruments, and then various wind music, accompanied by the sound of sand bells. The drums were stabilizing, and the horns were sounding. These passionate military music made the whole battlefield boil. At this moment, no matter how depressed and hopeless the victory is, it will inevitably be exaggerated by this atmosphere and thrown into this fierce war.

Griffin cavalry are on high alert in the sky, some go out to search the enemy's air force, and the rest defend the magician's position and the place commanded by the generals in the air of the battlefield.

"Report to Marshal Schvanov that the enemy army has set up a defensive position on the hills, and they have stopped moving forward, preparing for a decisive battle with our army."

The light cavalry came to pass the news and said that Shivanov chuckled with other generals after hearing the news, feeling absurd and ridiculous about the decision of the Hyperion Army.

"Order the troops and prepare to enter the battlefield. The magician troops are ready to stop at a suitable distance. All soldiers prepare according to our original combat plan. Order the officers to pass on and prepare to attack the Hyperion Army. The time is set at... two In an hour."

All the soldiers have already been prepared. They chased here yesterday evening, and found that the opponent was preparing for a decisive battle and began to set up camps to prepare for tomorrow's battle. Now the distance between the two armies is not far, just wait for the legion After a brief adjustment to enter the battlefield, the war is about to start completely.

"Damn, if my army is transferred here, let alone two towns, I only need one town to open the eyes of these guys and let them know how the battle is fought."

Lao Yuan held the binoculars and looked at the traditional fighting methods of the two armies, and then put down the binoculars and couldn't help sighing.

72 Cavalry Division, attack!

"Brigade Commander Conlian, you lead your first brigade to launch a guerrilla attack from the right side, and use a trapezoidal formation to outflank and test. You don't need to confront directly, and lure the enemy to disperse as much as possible to attract the enemy and consume the enemy's cavalry. quantity."

The light cavalry division commander watched the light cavalry in front of the opponent's position start to leave the infantry formation in a shocking form, and immediately gave orders to Brigadier Conley'an next to him. After receiving the order, Brigadier Conley'an immediately rushed to his cavalry brigade. The six squadrons of a cavalry brigade with a total of 600 people were already ready to go. They were wearing solid and rubbed reflective armor, and they were stuck on the stirrups with erected spears in their hands. These cavalrymen saw Brigadier Conley An riding The white horses rushed over, and immediately put down their visors in unison and bent slightly to wait for the order.

"Echelon team! Change the long sword! No need to touch! The first and second regiments are ready to charge, and the third regiment stays as a reserve force!" Conlian shouted again.

"The second brigade is going to take over from the first brigade to launch a counterattack. It must encircle and maneuver to disperse the enemy. If the enemy is ready to encircle several times, then abandon the encirclement plan and give priority to keeping the cavalry alive and waiting for an opportunity to fight again!"

The brigade commander of the second brigade also shouted, and there is also the third brigade, they have to serve as the back army to support the first brigade at any time. Prepared to be loyal to the royal family.

"Where are the enemy's heavy cavalry? Find their location and report to me where the heavy cavalry is!"

General Leodore held a binoculars and gave orders to the commuters. He and Count Karashov were holding binoculars nervously to observe the situation on the front line in a simple observation post. They were extremely nervous and their adrenaline was soaring. In combat, you must concentrate on every step. You don't want to defeat the opponent, at least you can repel them briefly to buy time for evacuation or rendezvous. The two of them naturally know that this is a battle that should not start, but the military often obeys the government. If it weren't for the status of Earl Karashov, I am afraid that this war would not start meaninglessly.

"In the rear! They are preparing to go from the right side, and they are still gathering. It seems that they are planning to test the infantry defense line on the right side!"

"Order the heavy cavalry division to divide into two divisions, with 700 people going to the right to prepare to fight, and the remaining 500 people to go to the left to support the offensive of the light cavalry." Count Karashov ordered.

"Front! They also separated some light cavalry to prepare to break through the infantry line!

"Order the infantry to stabilize! Let Cabinu's [-]st Mixed Infantry Division stabilize the line, where are the archers? Let them prepare to stop the cavalry!"

"My lord, the griffin air cavalry is in a hurry, they need the support of the longbowmen!"

The temporary headquarters quickly became chaotic after the start of the battle. The commuters of all teams began to come to report the situation, and it became extremely busy in an instant. Under this busyness, even Koichiro was infected, and he took The binoculars kept observing the battlefield and asking Lao Yuan for his views in the inner countryside. This was a ready-made teaching. Lao Yuan also watched the battle with relish and kept explaining his views.

The magicians began to chant spells in their positions, and the surging elemental power began to condense on this hilly battlefield, or flames or lightning or stones gathered.

Collision begins.

Conlian's horse began to trot, which was the prelude to the cavalry's preparation for a charge. The cavalry usually only let the horse start a full charge at the final distance. Before that, they had always trotted in a firm and orderly manner. advance,

The cavalry of the four squadrons formed four echelons to attack in a strict formation. Conlian rode a horse in the front of the first squadron, and his bright eyes roughly estimated through the visor that the opponent was also trotting now. There are at least 800 cavalry, which is about one-sixth of the total number of light cavalry of the two opposing legions. Under the crushing of numbers, many operations are so ridiculous, he can only do his best under the inferior force. Prepare for battle.

Approaching, approaching step by step, the horses are still trotting when they are about to reach the distance of the formal charge. The huge tension makes the horses subconsciously squeeze into the middle of each echelon, and the officers on both sides desperately The distance between the horses was increased, and now it was the last moment, and it was all up to Conlian's order.

"Keep the formation! Retrace!"

Conlian keenly grasped the great uneasiness of the horses under his crotch. He understood that even if the order he received just now was to charge, it would be impossible to execute it. Now is the best time to retreat, so he immediately reversed the retreat and carried out tactics according to the order Introduce!

The cavalry of the four echelons adjusted their horses one after another under the continuous command, and ran back in a more orderly formation. It was not easy to barely maintain the formation under such pressure. The opponent had five cavalry teams and then began to charge. , it seems that they already think that they have the chance to win.

"charge!"

The division commander watched the cavalry return step by step, and decisively issued an order to charge. The reserves of the second and third brigades and the first brigade were all ready, and the third brigade was pressed down again to continue to be a reserve team. The cavalry with a total of 800 people immediately They rushed towards the enemy's cavalry in a huge line. At the last moment, Conlian's cavalry turned around again, launched a counter charge, and immediately rushed towards the enemy!

The huge fireball smashed into the cavalry army, blowing up three or four war horses at once. A few unlucky ghosts either fell directly and turned into dust, or were knocked into the air and performed free fall motion. Immediately afterwards, the lightning beams and boulders also fell. Shooting towards the center of the cavalry, more than a dozen spells hit the enemy's cavalry line with a devastating momentum, causing a huge shock.

"Ula!"

"Ula!"

Conlian raised his long sword and shouted behind him, and the other cavalry also raised their long swords to salute, and rode their horses heavily into the enemy's scattered cavalry line.

"Okay! The magicians are supporting us well! Let the cavalry surround them and let them suffer as much damage as possible!" The light cavalry commander looked back at the magician formation on the mountain excitedly and said.

"Damn! Why did the magician go to support the cavalry! What should we do!"

The commander of the third brigade of the first mixed infantry division looked at the front that was getting closer and closer, and cursed at the magician troops behind.

"Steady the formation! Hold the formation! Stick to the defense, don't destroy the formation because of the enemy's impact, adjutant! Heavy infantry! Tell them to hurry up, the opponent's cavalry is coming!" The brigade commander yelled at the adjutant

"The opponent's magician began to exert force, and the same magic of various elements began to strike forward. The infantry array gathered in the middle was soon hit by an unprecedented heavy blow. Countless elemental magic was shot at them. At least three or four, or at least seven or eight soldiers, would die if they were shot. The light infantry began to feel great fear of this change. Their legs began to tremble, and they whispered Dipolo's blessing, these cannon fodder The same soldiers, they were born in poverty, were forced to come to the military camp to live a life of innocence, but they had to fight for big men they had never met before. The flame magic hit several light infantry soldiers. This terrifying magic In an instant, these three light infantrymen died without pain, and then exploded and shot flames at other light infantrymen. The morale of this light infantry unit almost collapsed. Fortunately, a water magician rushed to protect them. The small water magic controlled the fire, and barely stabilized the formation.

"Bastard, hold on to the formation! If you mess up, you will die faster! After this battle, you will definitely be promoted to a lot of armored infantry, you all cheer up, for tomorrow!" The brigade commander walked quickly to the light infantry roared in front of the troops.

"How do you manage the troops, let them stabilize!"

The light infantry barely regained their spirits under the scolding and benefits, and continued to grit their teeth and approach. The archers reached the predetermined combat distance, and an armored infantry battalion quickly approached, erecting a large shield beside each enchanted archer. To defend against the opponent's magic attack, the enchanted archers pulled up their magic longbows, pulled out expensive magic arrows from their quiver bags, and fired at the enemy's infantry array according to the command of the battalion commanders. Shooting, the opponent's light archer immediately began to counterattack, the magic arrows collided with the arrows, some magic arrows were always intercepted and exploded in the air, but there were still many magic arrows falling into the infantry formation In the middle, the diffusion ignited, and the power was not inferior to a mass magic.

"Hold and wait for orders before firing at a new target."

The commander of the Enchanted Archer Company issued a stop order, waiting for the new combat target from the highest commander of the archers.

"Marshal, the opponent's cavalry divisions have already dispatched, the magicians have completed the first round of barrage and are still chanting and recharging their energy, and the enchanted archers have also launched an attack on our army's infantry formation."

The lieutenant rode up to Marshal Schvanov, saluted and sent back the combat news.

Schvanov did not set up any so-called command post. The terrain where he was located was not high, barely a small slope of about ten meters, so there was no need to set up a command post at all. He and the other generals rode Looking at the battle situation on the front line with a telescope on the horse, it doesn't matter if there is magic, anyway, they are all riding horses, so it is not a big problem.

"I saw it, thank you for your report." Marshal Schvanov said seriously, still holding a telescope.

"The opponent has already used all their cards first, and I think it's time to launch a fierce attack." Earl Anwen rode over and said.

"Did the Griffin Riders hear back?" Marshal Schvanov asked.

"The latest news is that 10 minutes ago, they said that they had already gained a favorable position in the air, but because of the resistance of the longbowmen on the ground, they were still entangled and did not completely win the air supremacy of the air force." A division commander rode forward replied.

"Well, order the magician troops to concentrate on the superior barrage to attack the enemy's archer troops, and do everything possible to make the opponent lose long-range support. The enchanted archers are going to focus on attacking the opponent's light infantry to exert the greatest casualty effect." Shivanov The marshal ordered.

"As ordered!"

The messengers of the mage troop and the archer troop immediately saluted and ran away, carrying the flags to deliver orders to the two troops.

"Order the light cavalry to completely disperse the opponent's light cavalry with the help of the heavy cavalry at all costs. At least two brigades must lose their combat effectiveness."

"Yes!"

"Order the heavy infantry forward, prepare the infantry for battle, stabilize the light infantry, and adopt a steady tactic, don't let those brigade commanders mess around!" Earl Kratos also said.

"Master Brave, it's your turn to play." Earl Karashov saw the opponent's heavy infantry start to advance forward, he put down his binoculars worriedly, and said to Koichiro beside him.

73 Just right

"How will we fight? Uncle?"

Koichiro put on a gorgeous armor, this armor was painted silver, and there were many red patterns, which made this armor look extremely eye-catching. When Lao Yuan saw this armor, he sincerely refused, Damn, if you dress so fancy, do you think the other party can't see you or something?Can't find the target?

"You just come, you have this kind of magic, pay attention to protect yourself, don't get out of the big army, be sure to stay steady, don't use magic too much, don't keep listening to orders, and withdraw quickly if you feel that you don't have enough strength, don't sell it Death." Lao Yuan observed the situation in his body and instructed.

"I've never used a weapon before, and I don't know how to fight..."

"Study, I have to experience it sooner or later anyway, and I rarely face this kind of front-line battlefield directly, but it's good to get in touch with it this way. You are too immature and childish. It's good to experience the bloody battle."

"It's not about killing people, is it? This..."

"you!?"

Lao Yuan was so angry that he couldn't speak. He was once again speechless by Koichiro's thoughts, but he still explained with a sigh.

"Just pretend... you're playing your game? Hell, didn't you kill a lot of people in the play? What's there to be afraid of?"

"That's different, uncle."

Koichiro spoke harshly, but he still obediently took the long gun and the short gun, and walked out with the sword in hand.

"These two guns don't match well..."

"These two guns are not for you to use directly. It depends on the situation, adapt to the situation, and get the shield. The shield is very useful."

"ugly."

"Ugly you..."

After arguing, Koichiro still rushed to the front line with a shield to prepare for battle. The task given to him by the earls was to boost the morale of the infantry. The opponent's line of sight, as long as the infantry array is stable, his mission will be completed.

One person is enough to change the situation of the battle, which is why magicians are so rare. Unfortunately, none of the three magicians were willing to leave the royal city with them, and they didn't have any stronger force, so they could only rely on Koichiro, the only hope. up.

"Listen well, release your poison spell, don't let it be too lethal, if you want to spread it, it's best to bring only the one that makes the enemy slightly uncomfortable, so that your mana won't consume too much, and it's enough to cover the main part of the battlefield.

"Okay, I get it, uncle, if it's a critical moment, please remember to help me." Koichiro still said worriedly.

"I'm not stupid, you just do your thing now."

Koichiro was holding the long sword and shield, and just about to jump, he suddenly discovered a problem. He is currently at the rear of the army, and there is still a relatively long distance from the front line. At this distance, even if his body is transformed in the brave ceremony However, running wildly all the way is also difficult for him to endure.

And the second problem followed. Like Sun Boyang, he couldn't ride a horse.
