Chapter 480: Twin Star Fall (10)

Although it is not autumn now, due to the geography and climate of the Western Continent, the spring and autumn in the Western Continent are almost indistinguishable in nature, so on the day when all the 70,000 regular troops in the Linhai Theater enter the Linhai District, every night from 8 o'clock in the evening to 10 days of the next day in the Linhai area, the Linhai area will be covered by dense fog. The most important thing is that this situation has also increased the success rate of the strategy of the commander of the Left Route Army of the Water Qilin by 300%.

In fact, the strategy of the commander of the water unicorn is very simple, but it is extremely practical in the fog-shrouded forest area: he has the remaining 40,000 or so Atlanta 2nd line troops all equipped with the weapons used by the Barnum militia, that is, tower shields and daggers, and at the same time, he requires the soldiers to carry a shield on their backs, and at the same time, he asks these Atlantan soldiers to make a scarecrow by pressing the vines, weeds, and straw that they need to carry in front of the tower shield and on the surface of the shield on their backs. If Sun Lin found out about the practice of the Water Qilin army on the spot, he would definitely call out: "The grass boat borrows arrows!" "Although the purpose of the Water Kirin Commander is not to borrow arrows at all.

Although this strategy can be described as full of flaws, for example, the commander of the Water Qilin did not care about how low the movement speed of the Water Qilin Imperial soldiers carrying so many things would be limited, but the result showed how effective the Water Qilin side was in the use of this strategy: after the implementation of this plan, as they received letters from the more than 2,000 private soldiers of the Atlantan nobles, they had combined 30,000 pure heavy troops to take them to the designated ambush point, and the more than 40,000 longbow soldiers were temporarily attracted.

After learning about the situation in front of him, the water unicorn commander of Zhilu Dao was so excited that he almost got carried away, which can be seen from the fact that the water unicorn commander was too excited at the critical moment, and ignited the fire 50,000 water unicorn troops 5 minutes early to launch a strong attack on the 30,000 heavy troops that the sun never sets, and this gradually killed 2,000 Atlantan aristocratic private soldiers: soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, although these private soldiers are a group of mercenaries, However, this does not mean that they will not think about the overall situation, after all, they have now been tied to their chariot by the Water Qilin's side. Therefore, after getting the signal 5 minutes in advance, more than 2,000 Atlanta private soldiers mutinied instantly, and were very lucky to kill a commander of the Sun Never Sets, these private soldiers were instantly cleaned up by the foot English knights who were carried away with anger by the war hammers in their hands because the water unicorn soldiers did not come to support immediately.

The mutiny and the death of a corps commander did make the morale of the heavy troops on the side of the sun never set drop rapidly, and even because these soldiers who did not set the sun were starless soldiers, the morale of those soldiers quickly entered a trough, after all, starless soldiers are equivalent to those recruits who have not seen the blood on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is more than a star and a half.

However, after learning that his side was ambushed by the other party and was surrounded on all sides, the morale of the soldiers whose morale had dropped to a low point returned to the best state, because now as long as the soldiers present were brighter, they could find that they had been surrounded by the troops of the Water Qilin Empire. Generally, in this case, the besieged side has only two reactions, one is to surrender, but because the record of the Japanese army is there, and the 30,000 sunset heavy infantry do not want to become the first batch of sunset soldiers who are captured by the enemy and even surrender to the enemy, so the first plan was quickly rejected in the hearts of the 30,000 sunset soldiers, and then only the second set and the last set of plans remained: to fight to the death with the water unicorn army here.

In the eyes of the soldiers who never set the sun, it doesn't matter if they die, but they must not let the prestige of the army that never sets fall to retreat, otherwise even if those young people in the country who worship the army too much will not tear themselves apart, it is estimated that they will live in a lifetime of shame and guilt and die, this is because the people who do not set the sun are only willing to accept the crushing victory and not defeat. And because there is a buffer time of a few minutes, the remaining 2 for the corps commander and 3 for the deputy corps commander have a certain amount of time to arrange the battle formation of 30,000 troops, although this does not allow the army to get out of the possibility of being encircled, but at least it will not be the possibility of attacking from the back.

Subsequently, 20,000 heavily armed hook and sickle soldiers wearing quarter-plate armor and walking England knights wearing full-body plate armor had a full-scale confrontation with the 50,000 army of the Water Kirin Empire, and the Barnum militia holding tower shields was placed at the forefront on the side of the Water Kirin, because although the hook and sickle spears could also break the armor, they had no effect on those wooden iron tower shields, so the outermost members of the war were the English knights on foot with two-handed war hammers, and these fanatical Imperial knights were also previously after the death of their legion commanders, Morale drops the least, and recovery is the fastest, and that's why the 5 Commanders of the Sunset Legion want to let the Knights of England on foot go into battle first, because they need a buffer time to restore the morale of those Hook Scythes to the best state.

Perhaps it was because he found the slightest attempt to turn the tables on the side where the sun never set, or perhaps because he was worried that his plan had been exposed, and those longbow troops would come to support, the commander of the Water Qilin immediately made a ruthless decision and threw all the 15,000 Watt heavy infantry and 2,000 Watt guards handed over to him by the Water Qilin Emperor on the battlefield.

These brown-haired, blue-faced giants from the Dantar Mountains in the Western Regions of the Central Continent, with barbarian blood inside their bodies, were originally good at digging ores in their hometowns, but after being incorporated into the army by the Water Qilin Empire as the regular heavy infantry of the empire, they were equipped with heavy chain armor with qualified defense and did not affect their combat flexibility, and after being equipped with a two-handed giant hammer that compounded their feel, they immediately became light infantry slaughterers on the battlefield and fierce enemies of two-handed weapon-type heavy infantry.

As the elite of the Watt Heavy Infantry, these soldiers whose physical strength can even be compared with the physique of the orc warriors in the Sunset Army, after the commander-in-chief of the Left Route Army of the Water Qilin Empire gave the order, they chose one side of the battlefield to make a strong breakthrough, during which they put down countless English knights who never set on foot.

It's just a pity that after the sun never sets found that there were only 17,000 heavy infantry on the side of the Water Qilin, it immediately ordered all the heavy hook and sickle soldiers to entangle with the heavy infantry of the Water Qilin.
