Chapter 789: Prologue to the Decisive Battle
In the face of the fierce Ruihe coalition army, Shang Ji did not show weakness, and raised a large army to prepare to meet the enemy.
The scale of the field decisive battle is as high as seven million, which is already beyond the upper limit of Shang Ji's command. Fortunately, there is no shortage of senior generals in the Shang army, and Shang Ji is willing to delegate power. Under Shang Ji's instructions, the whole army was divided into three parts, with the Sun Legion and five field legions on the left flank, with Tai Shici as the commander, and the newly commissioned Thunder Warhammer Alex as his deputy.
Six field corps formed the Right Wing Army, with Ge Zhen as the commander and Xu Huang as the deputy.
The Chinese army is composed of ace legions such as the Guards Legion, the Blood Legion, the Phoenix Dance Legion, the Heavy Spear Legion, the Giant Shield Legion, the Spellcaster Legion, and the Dragonborn Legion, and Shang Ji himself is also the commander of the Chinese army.
The remaining two field legions and the berserk legion served as reserves under the leadership of Dian Wei, ready to support all sides.
The distance between the three army corps is not far away, which ensures that they can contact and support at any time and avoid being divided and surrounded by enemy forces. Seeing this, the Rui-Dutch coalition army is also divided into three places, planning to have a hard-fought war!
In a big war of this level, all intrigue is false. There are not so many bells and whistles, and the decisive battle between large armies is not a little trick that can change the outcome of the war.
"Woo~~~~"
With a deafening horn sounding, the Pingzhou army, as the side of the attacked, took the lead in attacking. At the sound of an order, the old partner of the Giant Shield Legion and the Heavy Spear Legion formed a joint legion, the giant shield was like a wall, the spear was like a forest, and the whole six spear and shield combinations were slowly approaching the Ruihe coalition army.
On the two wings of the Combined Legion, there are 50,000 black-armored Xuanqi to ensure that the two wings of the Combined Legion will not be harassed by the enemy.
Behind the Combined Legion is the Legion of Spellcasters, heavily protected by tens of thousands of elite giant shield soldiers. There are also magicians among the aborigines of the Death Continent in Australia, and after occupying the Australia, Shang Ji vigorously collected the magicians, and then handed them over to the Maple Leaf God for training.
After two months of hard work, the total strength of the current magic legion has successfully exceeded the 1,000 mark.
Under the command of the Maple Leaf Wizard, the Magic Legion began to prepare for large-scale magic, ready to cast long-range large-scale spells at any time.
In the face of the aggressive offensive of the Pingzhou army, the Rui-Dutch coalition army was certainly not indifferent, and about 20,000 light cavalry rushed out of the camp under the order of the commander and went straight to the combined corps.
The sound of horses' hooves was terrifying, of course, the light cavalry out of the formation did not come to charge the combined army, the well-guarded and tightly formed combined army, even the black armor cavalry would not choose to charge head-on, and the commander of the coalition army would certainly not let the light cavalry be hard and heavy infantry.
Less than 300 meters away from the Combined Legion, the Coalition Light Cavalry suddenly spun around, facing the Combined Legion in a horizontal formation, and then bent their bows and arrows, and the dense arrows rained down towards the Combined Legion.
"Jingle Bellโ"
There was a crisp sound, and the Combined Legion had almost no casualties, and the giant shield defense of the giant shield soldiers was quite strong, and ordinary professional longbowmen could not effectively kill them, let alone this kind of archers with low attack power.
This is also one of the main reasons why Su Huan gave up the dragon bow at the beginning - Bo is not refined, he is not pleasing at both ends, it is good to deal with low-level troops, and it is almost chicken ribs in the face of well-trained high-level troops.
The commander of the archers tried twice more unconvinced, and finally had to give up, and the heavy shield and solid heavy armor were not at all what the archers could help.
"Woohoo!"
Just as the archers were about to retreat, a sudden rush of arrows shot out from inside the Combined Legion, in order to ensure mobility, the archers were only symbolically equipped with some leather armor with limited defensive power, and in this round of unexpected arrow rain, a large number of archers fell from their horses.
It was the Elven Archer and a small number of Star Bows hidden inside the United Legion that suddenly became powerful!
The Combined Legion can resist and fight, but its mobility is low, and it lacks effective long-range attack methods, so it is easy to be kited in the face of more flexible enemy forces.
In order to compensate for this shortcoming, Shang Ji transferred the elven archers from the Sun-Shooting Legion and stuffed them into the Combined Legion.
Because of Dian Wei's sweep, the number of elven archers has also increased to about 5,000, which is a bit reluctant as a legion alone, but it is more than enough to supplement the combined legion.
Although the Wind Elf was defeated by Huang Zhong, Hao Lai is also a top general, and he is quite experienced in grasping the timing, and suddenly launched a surprise attack when the enemy army relaxed its vigilance and was about to retreat, and wiped out more than 2,000 enemy troops under a round of arrow rain.
The commander of the archers hurriedly ordered the legion to counterattack, and when they turned back, they found that there was still a trace of the elven archers, all of which were indestructible giant shields and sharp spears like forests!
The elven archers were relatively thin, and the rows of giant shields could completely conceal their figures, and once the archers were ready to retreat, the elven archers would show their heads and snipe, and the 20,000 archers would be furious and helpless.
This set seems simple, but it is quite difficult to execute. The Giant Shield Soldier can quickly open a gap for the Elven Archer to attack, and can re-erect the shield wall before the Archer can react, and ensure that the shield wall is not chaotic and does not stop. There are many armies dedicated to defense, but very few can do this.
After a few back and forth attempts, the archers' generals finally understood that they could only be beaten passively here, gritted their teeth, resisted the surprise attack of the elven archers, and led the army back to the main formation.
Pity the 20,000 archers who came out of the battle, and the results were only a handful, but they themselves lost more than half of the battle.
After losing the first battle, the hearts of the high-level leaders of the Rui-Dutch coalition suddenly sank, and they felt a little bad.
Watching the mountain-like army approaching step by step, the top of the coalition army was silent for a while. After a while, an officer who looked old clapped his hands fiercely: "We can't hesitate any longer, just send the ace army to battle, let them continue to be so arrogant, our military morale will fall to the bottom, and there will be no hope of victory at that time!" โ
Several senior generals of the joint command glanced at each other and nodded one after another, it is not without reliance that the Ruihe coalition army dares to come!
"Pass the order, dispatch the Hector Infantry Legion, dispatch the Amazon Warrior Legion, and Kassandra's Sacrificial Legion on standby!"
With the order given, the two ace legions of the Swiss-Dutch coalition army came out.
The Hector infantry regiment was all dressed in heavy armor, wearing bronze helmets, red cloaks, and two-meter-long broadswords.
And its leader is none other than the most well-known mortal hero in Greek mythology - Hector.
Hector, the commander of the Trojan side in the Battle of Troy in Greek mythology, had a brilliant record and once drove the Greek coalition army to the sea, although he died at the hands of Achilles, but this was completely the favoritism of the Greek gods.
Achilles is a typical second generation of gods, and Hector intervened indirectly or directly in the decisive battle with Achilles, Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging, and Thetis, the goddess of the sea, making a fair duel a joke.
Hector was defeated, but he was one of the most admired mortal heroes (without the blood of the gods) in Greek mythology.
If in historical civilization, his status is not even inferior to Zhao Yun. Unfortunately, he was born in the region of Greek mythology, where the gods ruled everything, and only those with the blood of the gods could truly be considered a top hero.
In other words, Hector can compete with controversial historical generals such as Cao Xing, Hua Xiong, and Pan Feng.
Correspondingly, the comprehensive combat strength of the Hector Heavy Corps is not particularly outstanding, and its comprehensive combat effectiveness is weaker than that of the Combined Corps.
The top brass of the coalition army is aware of the difference in combat power between the two armies, and they don't expect the Hector Legion to defeat the Combined Legion, and it is the Amazon Warrior Legion that is really relied on by the coalition as the pillar!
Amazon female warriors, whether in Greek mythology or modern film and television works, Amazon female warriors are famous existences.
There are also quite a lot of myths and legends surrounding the Amazon warriors, and unlike Hector, the tragic and bitter force, the leader of the Amazon female warriors is the main god bloodline of the real card!
Hippolyte and Penthesirea are the two queens of the Amazonian warriors, and they are sisters, the daughters of Ares, one of the twelve main gods of Greek mythology, in other words, they are also the granddaughters of Zeus, the god king of Greek mythology.
Of course, there are too many descendants of this mobile pile driver, and there is no fuss about this identity. However, the Amazonian warrior is indeed brave and good at fighting, and is one of the high-level troops in the Greek mythology area!
At this time, it was Penthesilia who was in charge of the Amazonian warriors.
Penthesilea, who held a shield with a crescent moon in his left hand and a battle axe in his right hand, was covered in pure white armor. Because they wore face armor, they couldn't see their specific faces, but many myths and legends have mentioned that the two sisters were so beautiful that even the enemy who killed them was heartbroken.
This can be seen from the ordinary Amazonian female warriors, although these female warriors are murderous, but it does not affect their excellent appearance, in general, the appearance of Amazonian female warriors is above the passing line.
Seeing the Amazon female warrior rushing out, Shang Ji immediately frowned. After fighting for so long, even if he didn't have the skill of detecting the enemy's virtual and real army, Shang Ji could roughly see that the combat effectiveness of this Amazonian female warrior was definitely not weaker than that of the Sun Legion.
Let this cavalry unit rage, and the less mobile Combined Legion is estimated to suffer a big loss! At present, among the cavalry troops at hand of Shang Ji, only the black armor Xuan cavalry can suppress them: "Order Liang Qing and let him lead 30,000 black armor Xuan cavalry to meet ......"
"Lord, the commander of the Phoenix Dance Legion, please fight!"
Looking at the innocent-looking messenger, Shang Ji was suddenly choked.
After hesitating for a moment, Shang Ji looked at Xi Zhicai next to him: "Strategist, what do you think?" โ
Xi Zhicai also had a headache, glanced at the Amazon female warriors, and then at the generals of the Pingzhou Army who bowed their heads to avoid their sight, and said helplessly: "The commander of the Fengwu Legion is bent on fighting, and the general is not good at snubbing the enthusiasm of the soldiers. This Amazon Legion and the Phoenix Dance Legion can be described as chess opponents, the general might as well order the Phoenix Dance Legion to fight! โ
After a pause, Xi Zhicai added: "It's really not possible to let Captain Liang Qing lead 30,000 black armor Xuanqi to respond in the rear." โ
"According to what the military advisor said, the Phoenix Dance Legion was ordered to fight to meet the enemy!" Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Online Game Zhige Three Kingdoms Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
