Chapter 574: Wall of Flames

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! It was as if the soldiers, all possessed by a wonderful unknown spirit, shouted three times with an almost fanatical attitude, making a perfect end to Lu Xi's speech. In the space of an hour, this group of people was just some rookie soldiers who couldn't even hold their weapons, but now they seemed to be going to participate in the holy war, and their eyes revealed the firmness and sacredness of martyrs, which was easily reminiscent of religious fanatic warriors who had been maliciously brainwashed. As for what practical effect it will have on the battlefield later, it can only be proved in the subsequent battles.

Fortunately, this moment doesn't have to wait long.

(System: The host's speech was another big success, with +3 morale for the soldiers under his command, the total morale was 6, and the chance for the soldier to trigger the "Unyielding" skill was increased to 15%. )

"It's a pity, there are only a thousand people! If there are tens of thousands of people here listening to me, they can take the opportunity to brush up on the tasks, right? ”

"Task? What task? Liszt asked curiously.

"Don't worry, it's just a hallucination." Lu Xi replied expressionlessly, and then raised his Dawn Knight Sword above his head, and shouted: "The whole army, array!" ”

"Array! All the troops are in formation! Before Liszt could speak, Lieutenant Mons beside him repeated Lu Xi's order in his loudest voice. It was as if he had changed as a different person, his face flushed and refreshed, and he had not turned yellow at all. Like a battle-hardened, capable, faithful, but brave veteran battlefield herald, he strode across the front edge of the military formation, carrying the Union banner. Repeating Lu Xi's orders over and over again.

"This guy isn't that incorrigible." Liszt muttered.

"It should be said...... The effect is even better than I expected. "The Golden Thigh Brainwashing Aura skill is really amazing!

"If this guy doesn't die in this fight. Just transfer me to be a herald. Of course, a quiet beautiful man like me. It should be a cool uncle with a scruffy beard or an iceberg sister with a convex and backward curvy, and the fashion value is high enough. But now are extraordinary times, and there are not so many extravagant requirements. ”

“…… Lost. I always thought that the first choice of the senior sister adjutant was me. ”

"I never thought like that, I can't live like that, uh, I mean, to make a magician-born officer an adjutant, you have to wait until the day I become a general. Oh, that's not right...... Can you bear kid have some success? You're a magician, too! Yuhi? Disciple of Master Nacardo. If you don't like being a general or a commander or something, what did you do when you joined the army? ”

At the moment of the conversation between the two men, the wolf cavalry and the centaurs also began the first charge of the day.

From a military point of view, the speed and impact of the wolf are far inferior to those heavily armored knights in Oakland, who wear thick armor even with men and horses.

You must know that what the Holy Auckland Empire prepared for its own heavy cavalry regiment of the Central Forbidden Army was Ceylon war horses carefully cultivated in the pastures of the two river valleys. It is a horse with an average height of more than 1.7 meters on horseback, excellent endurance, speed and impact, and not only has a high level of physique, discipline and loyalty. And they are brave and fearless, not afraid of iron, fire, and all carnivores, and charge like thunder, and are invincible. Dare not even bask the guns of the hoplites head-on.

Don't look at the wolves of the orcs, all of them seem to be huge. Fierce and bloodthirsty carnivores, even with three or even five times as many troops, they encountered the cavalry of the Oakland Forbidden Army, riding a herbivore, a Ceylon warhorse. The result of both sides charging each other. It must be that the side that is a carnivore will be scattered in one round.

Centaurs have the same embarrassment. These nomads roaming the Great Wasteland of Orgrimmar look like a powerful class of cavalry and infantry that perfectly combines cavalry and infantry. But perhaps the lack of organization, training, and standard armament are very complex reasons. All along, they have been acting on the battlefield like this.

The Nords have had such a record. Five hundred Nord hoplites, plus two thousand of Ayman's spearmen, formed a wall of steel that could be moved. They braved the javelins and bows of more than 20,000 centaur rangers, advancing step by step, without any flinch or hesitation. With such non-invasive and rigid tactics, they forced the enemy little by little towards the lakeside, crushing little by little, and it is said that by the end of the battle, the armour joints of the Nord centurions were completely stuck with the coagulated blood of the centaurs.

If the more than 1,000 people in the battle under the city were really a thousand Nord heavy warriors and Auckland heavy knights, Gohlhash, the commander of the wolf cavalry who led the team, would definitely turn around and leave on the spot, right? Although he is a typical orc-like general who is fierce and bloodthirsty, he is by no means a brain-dead who does not know the height of the sky.

However, if it is such a group of federal waste snack troops......

"One battle is possible!" The wolf cavalry commander of the Shatterfist Clan confirmed. He must not have known that he had put up the flag sadly, and all the generals in history who thought that the enemy "could fight in one battle" did not end well.

The centaur spearmen who were the first to charge. They were best at using javelins and bows and arrows, and when it came to charging with spears, they were far inferior to the Aucklanders, and their armament was incomparable. Most of the spears used by these centaurs are about one and a half meters long, and to put it bluntly, they are a long wooden pole with a cast-iron spear head. Most of them wore only cloth armor made of thick linen, and in terms of defense, it can only be said that it is better than nothing. What's more, for centaurs, a spear of this length can only be considered a combat weapon, and only a small number of chief-level centaurs have pure metal weapons such as hard leather armor and a large sword machete.

If they had been in front of them in a phalanx of dwarven ironclad infantry, the centaur charge would have been as weak as the river that had hit a dam. However, after all, these people only need to face the rookie troops of the Federation, and their impact is still stronger than those colleagues who ride wolves.

Gorhash's tactical intentions were very simple. Have the centaurs in the front row crush the enemy array. The wolf cavalry that followed behind then rushed through the gap in the queue to expand the victory, once the tactical intent was achieved. It would be difficult for the Union army to avoid the fate of the entire army being scattered. At that time, it will be to kill these Federation soldiers who don't know whether they are alive or dead. Or slaughter the refugees under the city, it depends on your mood. Well, if you're lucky, you might be able to take advantage of the chaos under the city and rush directly into Black Manga City.

The centaur charge was really not slow, they were getting closer and closer to the array of Union soldiers, and soon entered a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, which was the most effective range of the centaur strong bow. Many centaurs picked up their longbows and began to fire arrows as they charged.

Not dense, but powerful and penetrating arrows flew into the dense crowd. Half of the arrows were caught by the soldiers with their shields. But the other half is effective in killing. Many soldiers were shot through vital positions and died on the spot.

There is no way, only elite army soldiers like the Central Forbidden Army and the Eastern Legion are likely to be equipped with huge tower shields and sturdy metal armor, while most of the defenders of Black Man City are only rookie soldiers, and their main equipment is nothing more than pig iron helmets, hard leather armor, spears with wooden poles, thick ridged swords that have no advantages other than durability, and round wooden shields wrapped in iron sheets. In addition, these soldiers could not really assemble into a dense shield wall as quickly as those elite legions that had been trained for a long time.

Lu Xi can improve their morale through guò golden thighs, but it is impossible to improve their training and discipline immediately.

But. Even so, their appearance was enough to stunned the friendly troops at the head of the city and the refugees below the city. A team like this, which is made up entirely of rookies, is faced with the charge of the enemy's superior cavalry, and at the same time suffers from the baptism of arrows. Maybe the moment the people around you are knocked down by arrows, they will fall into an irrepressible panic.

Still, they carried shields and spears. The hands that clenched the weapons did not waver in the slightest, and they stared ahead without squinting. It looks like a statue made of bronze.

"This, these guys. Or the same group of people I know? It looks like we were still sitting together for a bar yesterday? Didn't that guy still keep shouting that this city could no longer be defended, and everyone was dead? ”

"It can't be some kind of medicine, right? Hey, hey, or maybe you've fallen for some brainwashing magic? ”

I have to say that this kind of frivolous words are the closest to the truth, but they were directly scolded by the people around them: "You can say this kind of thing!" Colleagues are fighting bravely below, and you don't dare to stand side by side with them, but you are still talking cool here? It's a bit of a shame! ”

"Even if you take medicine, you can't be like this guy all of a sudden, right? Damn, such a gentleman, even I am a little envious! Damn, we should have fought side by side with them, and now we are standing on the walls like this, and we can't do anything. Just look at it. ”

"Sir, are we just going to watch them fight there alone?"

"Huh, the soul is faint! Hold your posts! No one was allowed to leave the city without the order of the commander, wasn't it decided from the very beginning? Without hesitation, he shouted back the excited subordinates, and the federal officers defending the city couldn't help but grit their teeth and whisper to themselves: "Do you think I don't want to rush out and fight side by side with those people?" Old, Lao Tzu is also a soldier! But in addition to the problem, the top is not to take a knife on someone like me who is caught in the middle? If you don't die, ah, no, if you don't do something, you won't do anything wrong, why don't you understand such a simple thing? It's hateful, this official can't be a man! ”

Not to mention for the time being, how much psychological struggle the officers and soldiers on the city walls would have gone through. Under the city, Lu Xi, who was standing in the second row of the whole army array, looked at the soldier who had been killed by an arrow in his throat on his right, and sighed softly.

This wave of arrows killed at least more than fifty soldiers or lost their combat effectiveness, but Lu Xi was not worried at all. He looked at the centaurs who were still charging at him, getting closer and closer to the soldiers in the front, and raised two middle fingers in his heart.

"It's the first time I've seen such a cavalry tactic. Inertia doesn't know? Do you understand kinetic energy? I don't expect you to play such a difficult tactic as back-shooting, running-shooting, round-shooting, and roundabout, even if it's a big circle in a total war game, it's more reliable than you, right? I now know why orcs are being crushed and beaten by the Nords, and it's a wonder to have pig teammates like you to survive until now! Lu Xi struggled to endure the urge to complain, and shouted loudly to his subordinates: "Steady! ”

The centaurs were only fifty meters away from the queue, and many people could already see the beards and features on their faces.

"Steady!"

The centaurs were only thirty meters away from the queue, and many could already see the reflection on the tips of their guns.

"Steady!"

The centaurs were only ten meters away from the queue, and many could even feel the foul smell coming out of their mouths and noses.

"It's now!" The World Tree Scepter in Lu Xi's hand slammed into the ground. A wall of fire that was 100 meters long and more than 3 meters high suddenly rose violently from in front of everyone, as if the earth had suddenly been torn apart by the divine sword that poked out from the ground, turning into a huge crack. The sun-hot lava beneath ignites the air on the surface, turning it into a wall of flames that burns with males, separating the earth from two impassable sides.

The centaurs, who had already rushed closer, were frightened by the sudden anomaly. Some of the centaurs, who were pushed and held by their companions in the back row, and could not stop, let out a scream and rushed into the wall of fire, turning directly into charcoal. More centaurs let out a frightened cry, leaping in fear in front of the wall of fire, standing on their own, waving their arms and limbs in panic, and then crashing into their companions behind them, unable to stop the car, and turning into a mass of rolling hoists.

With just a stroke of magic, Lu Xi turned the enemy's menacing all-army charge into a chaotic scene of farce. But that's not all......

"Thorn!"

The spears of the Union soldiers poked out from behind the wall of fire, like poisonous snakes hunting, and in this way, pierced the flesh of the defenseless foe, making a pleasant "poof" sound. It may have been the first time that many of the Union soldiers had experienced the thrill of killing an enemy, and they felt the slight tremor of their spear-holding arms, and they all looked happy.

Perhaps, they will be hooked on this feeling. (To be continued......)
