Chapter 154: Confrontation

After the experience and lessons learned from the defeat in the previous battle, the Mishals not only redecorated the inside and outside of the camp after the subsequent arrival of more than 70,000 troops in their camp, such as dividing the camp piece by piece with baffles, fences, shields and spears in the camp; Another example is to set up a large number of horse-resisting wooden stakes on the periphery of the camp, and send a large number of compound archers and snow-capped mountain raiders to patrol these areas. Moreover, the Mishals also made a large number of siege equipment in siege, such as siege vehicles that have been decorated with iron sheets and wood wax to reduce the probability of triggering fire, large storming vehicles wrapped in layers of heavy iron shields on the top, and the elite siege division of the Misharid Empire has borrowed from the appearance and structure of the siege equipment of the Sunset Empire, and researched catapults that can throw 150 kg to 200 kg.

Moreover, the emperor of the Mishaal Empire seems to have discovered from the last siege that compared with the previous strong heavy infantry snow mountain berserkers dedicated to siege, the lethality caused by the new type of snow mountain raiders in the empire is much higher than that of the snow mountain berserkers in dealing with the sun never setting imperial army, so among the more than 70,000 soldiers brought by Emperor Michar this time, in addition to 10,000 snow mountain berserkers and 10,000 compound archers, the remaining more than 50,000 people are snow mountain raiders.

Of course, the Emperor Mishael didn't know that the reason why the Snow Mountain Raiders of the Misharid Empire were almost tied with the Sunset Army in the last Battle of Magaburg was not only because General Bobby, who was completely ignorant of foot combat, but also because most of the troops used by Bobby at that time were orc slave soldiers. Although the orc slave soldiers are planned as heavy infantry in the system, in fact, the current orc slave soldiers are the same as the hook and sickle soldiers, they all belong to a kind of half-heavy armor, semi-light armor troops, this type of troops is a bit the same as those lightly armored troops, that is, they are very afraid of long-range armor-piercing attacks, as for the melee type will not, so at that time, there were not many Imperial soldiers who really died in hand-to-hand combat in the hands of the Snow Mountain Raiders, but a large number of flying axes died in the hands of these Snow Mountain Raiders.

Of course, the Emperor Mishar would not know what to say, and in response to this situation, Sun Lin specially sent 40,000 nemesis of these Snow Mountain raiders - the Papal Guard. This kind of super-heavy infantry with a layer of steel inlaid armor inside, a layer of full-body chain mail in the middle and a half-body light armor, and a layer of inlaid armor specially designed to protect the chest and crotch on the outside, will not be harmed even if it is hit by an axe, unless the axe hits the gap in the half-body light armor. Moreover, these Papal Guards are also specially equipped with steel oval shields that are moderately effective in fighting and resisting cavalry charges, and a kind of spear that looks the same as a normal spear, but is equipped with a more convenient bloodletting groove at the spearhead, these Papal Guards can easily insert the steel spear in their hands into the enemy's body and then easily pull it out, without the spearhead getting stuck in the enemy's body.

Moreover, in addition to bringing 40,000 papal guards, Andert also brought 30,000 giant shield crossbowmen. Even if these compound archers expose their backs to the Mishaal compound archers, those compound archers cannot shoot through the giant shield on their backs within 50 meters, they are simply the best long-range troops to defend the city walls, although the powerful pulley crossbows in their hands are slightly lower than the Yoman longbowmen in terms of firing speed and range, but they can easily tear the armor of any Mishaal soldier, even those snowy mountain berserkers wearing heavy iron armor are hit by the crossbow arrows fired by these pulley crossbows, and they only fall to the ground.

However, ignorance can sometimes play a certain role, for example, when those Mishals did not enter the range of the long-range infantry of the Sunset Empire, ignorance can make these Mishal soldiers have high morale when charging forward, but the Misharid Empire does have the capital to make its soldiers have such high morale this time, you must know that although Mishal lost his troops in the previous night attack, he was not injured at all, and there were 30,000 compound archers in this battle, After 20,000 snow-capped mountain berserkers and 100,000 snow-capped mountain raiders, plus a certain Mishal intelligence officer withdrew the cavalry units in the city of Magaburg, the commander who never set the sun dared to agree to their request for field warfare (it was the Michar people themselves who thought so) their request for a field battle, which made it impossible for these Mishaals, who thought that their domestic soldiers were the most elite soldiers in the field in the northwest continent, not to have such a high temperament.

On the other hand, when Andert summed up the information of all parties and decided to fight on a rough plain in front of Magaburg, the Sunset Empire can be said to have poured out, with a total of 30,000 giant shield crossbowmen, 40,000 Papal Guards, 10,000 orc slave troops, 15,000 Yoman longbowmen and 15,000 heavily armed swordsmen, and in the long-range troops of the 2nd line of the Sunset Army, there are more than 10 counterweight trebuchets and heavy catapults. Remembering that compared to those heavy torsional catapults that specialize in using area-of-range attacks to kill the enemy, although the counterweight trebuchet can only produce giant fire bombs, and cannot use a rain of gravel to kill the enemy like a medium-sized torsion catapult, Sun Lin entered and agreed to Andert's use of the earliest chemical bomb - rotting ox in order to win this battle. These horrific munitions may not be able to kill or injure the enemy when thrown into the enemy array by the counterweight trebuchet, but they can cause the enemy soldiers to vomit and go into shock in the stench of the sky, depleting the enemy's stamina and shaking the enemy's morale.

The Empire of the Sun Never Sets is very clear in terms of formation, as a front line is 30,000 giant shield crossbowmen, and behind them is the Papal Guard, which also belongs to the first line, these strong heavy spearmen will rush to the Sun Never Set army formation in the Mishal army, and the giant shield crossbowmen in front retreat back and launch a counter-charge forward, nailing Mishaal's hand-to-hand combat soldiers to the first line. In the rear of these papal guards were 15,000 Yoman longbowmen, and these soldiers with excellent longbow and archery skills would support the front line by projectile after the Mishaal's army came into their range, so the Yoman longbowmen were divided into the 2nd line by Andyrt and the heavy swordsmen, and the 3rd line troops were composed of Andrelt's general guards and weapons of war, and each wing was guarded by 5,000 orc slave soldiers. It can be said that the formation put forward by Endelt is very decent, but this is also the most reasonable way to deploy the army that never sets at the sun, where the number of ranged troops and hand-to-hand combat troops is equal.

The formation of the Mishaal army on the opposite side is a little frosty, because they have only 3 troops, the compound archers and snow mountain raiders in the 1st line troops, the snow mountain berserkers in the 2nd line troops, and a group of Mishaal royal axe guards in colorful armor in the 3rd line.
