Chapter 1097: Iron Float
"Is it only seventy or eighty thousand?"
The army of Ran Min, who was pursuing all the way, ran into Tuoba Tao head-on, both sides were full of fighting spirit, and when the reconnaissance cavalry entered each other's range, the army still had no intention of changing the route.
In battles with less than 100,000 troops, the use of the power of the army needs to be more cautious, once the power of the army is consumed on a large scale, but it is impossible to achieve a decisive advantage in the big war, it is equivalent to a direct defeat, too extreme, and the commander with a brain generally does not do such a risky thing.
At this moment, both sides are equivalent to prestige in each other's eyes! Exploit!
Guo Kan protected Zhang Bin to suppress the formation, Ran Min took Guan Ying to kill him personally, although Ran Min's force was not as inhuman as Xiang Yu, but it was definitely not bad, holding a double-edged spear in his left hand and a hook halberd in his right hand, his appearance and body shape could be called powerful. However, when it comes to all the heroes on the stage, the most perfect should be Li Shimin, command, force, strategy, internal affairs, quadrthlon.
The army under Ran Min was all regular soldiers transferred by Yue Fei, of which fifty percent were cavalry, two percent were mixed infantry, two percent were legion magicians, and one was a Holy Light Priest. The cavalry was dominated by regular cavalry, and pure archers accounted for only about 10% of the number.
On the Tuoba Tao side, it is led by heavy cavalry, and the men and horses are wearing heavy gold armor, but there are only 5,000 of them, but there is a momentum of shaking the mountains between the runs, these knights are a moving city wall on the plain, or they can be called "Iron Floating Massacre"!
The heavy cavalry can be regarded as the absolute elite of the Wolf League, due to the lack of materials outside the fortress, the number of heavy cavalry that can be built is not much, and these five thousand are already all the family resources of Tuoba Tao. However, the forging technology of the Wolf Alliance is not as good as that of the Hongyu Empire, and the forging masters and slaves captured by the Wolf Alliance can get a higher status than the warriors of their own clan, of course, what they need most at the moment is resources.
The raids along the way south made them harvest a lot of slaves, but the resources obtained were far from meeting their needs, the north did have a lot of mining areas, but except for the vicinity of Yunmeng City at the rear, it was difficult for other mining areas to continue mining, and the entire north was not in danger, not only for the imperial camp, but also for the alien races settled in the northern plains. However, the recently surrendered Lord of the Chosen One provided them with a number of scarce resources, as well as logistical guarantees.
The heavy cavalry were connected by long chains, which made them more capable of charging and stepping into formation, and at the same time, they could protect their own line well, and they could not be broken through until they fell. With heavy cavalry to open the way, light cavalry harassed from both flanks, it was able to cope with most of the battle.
However, the game is not reality, and if it were, such a combination, terrain, and superiority in military strength were almost incomprehensible. On the opposite side of the heavy cavalry line, Ran Min was not afraid at all, a fire cloud was condensed in the sky, and the fire cloud and thunder loomed, and at the same time, five thousand priests took action and put on the Holy Light Battle Armor for all the cavalry.
Before the armies of the two sides could make contact, fire meteors fell with bursts of thunder, and tornadoes swept from the ground. The invincible heavy cavalry in the charge is a little weak in the face of long-range spell attacks, their armor has a strong immunity to physical damage, but the spell damage is average, on the contrary, the spell resistance of the light cavalry is not bad, in the attribute panel, you can only see a unified defense data, but that doesn't mean everything.
However, since he knew this shortcoming of the heavy cavalry, it was impossible for Tuoba Tao to be unprepared, and the dark brown totem poles that were three meters high were inserted all over the battlefield, and a faint golden light curtain shrouded the bodies of all the aliens.
Totem Array!
The unique ability of the Wolf Alliance Shaman, using totem poles to arrange auxiliary arrays on the battlefield, is more flexible than the magic array, of course, it must not be compared with the formation of the Daomen, but the coverage of the formation map is far from such a terrifying level. However, the disadvantages are also obvious, as long as the totem pole is destroyed by more than one-fifth, the totem array will be broken.
There are many ways to improve spell resistance, such as formations, magicians, magic scrolls, skills, equipment, and commander abilities...... However, this totem array is clearly more than just increasing spell resistance.
In the pursuit all the way, the attributes obtained by Ran Min's army have not disappeared, and I have to say that Ran Min's ability is one of the absolute strongest on the battlefield against aliens!
Ran Min couldn't get around the heavy cavalry formation, the opponent's formation was like an unfolded arrow, and the rear army was completely under the protection of the heavy cavalry formation, but the light cavalry who was good at riding and archery could scatter to both wings in the shortest possible time when necessary. However, although it is impossible to avoid it, it is not difficult to avoid the strongest blade of the heavy cavalry to a certain extent, and it is also extremely necessary.
In order to maximize the blockade range, there is only one layer of 5,000 heavy cavalry, but once surrounded by these heavy cavalry, there is no possibility of breaking through, don't forget, these heavy cavalry are all connected by long chains!
The infant is in the lead, riding a black war horse, the general's armor on his body is also black, holding a spear in his hand, it is difficult to break the heavy cavalry formation with soldiers, but it is quite simple to fight against soldiers. At the same time, he is the strongest individual in the army except for Ran Min, and Ran Min, as the commander of the first army, is not suitable for this kind of thing, so he can only do it! However, in a short period of time, he was unable to open too large a gap in the heavy cavalry formation.
After the heavy cavalry is killed, in order not to affect the advance of the military formation, the nearby heavy cavalry will remove the iron chains connecting each other at the first time. However, as long as there is a notch, no matter how big or small, it is much easier after that.
Under the addition of Ran Min's various abilities, the combat effectiveness of the big soldiers has increased by more than one order on average, but Tuoba Tao is not muddy, in the magic and arrow rain, Ran Min led the army to break through the first line of heavy cavalry, unexpectedly easy, as long as you pass through these troublesome heavy horses, the next battle will be simple, in Ran Min's eyes, the alien race is pus, as long as the killing is smooth, it is not much different from slaughtering sheep.
But is it really that simple?
This trap against Ran Min, Tuoba Tao has been preparing for three days, for this he does not hesitate to take the risk himself, how can he only have such a little means, the current layout, but just to leave Min Ran, when Ran Min enters his military formation, this trap can be regarded as the real beginning!
