Chapter 471: Enemy Situation

PS: Ask for collections

The battle at the wooden fort where the sun never sets, because of the influx of a large number of Barnum militia on the side of the water qilin, made the originally chaotic Macedonian battle formation even more chaotic, and the victorious scales also began to think about the tilt of the water qilin side. Of course, the main reason for this is because of the strong tower shields in the hands of the Barnum militia, or the Barnum militia.

As I said before, the battle formation set up by the Atlanta spearmen may be effective against the light infantry, but it is almost ineffective against the invulnerable heavy armor soldiers and heavy cavalry, so there is no need for all the strong shields, after all, the crescent spears equipped by the Atlanta spearmen are iron weapons, and there is no combat power to break the armor on the heavy infantry, of course, this is in the case of the Atlantan crescent spearmen fighting by poking, It would have been a different story if the Atlantan spearmen had changed their spears to halberd-like combat.

However, the lack of reaction in a short period of time was already able to put the sun on one side and die: the sudden rush of the Barnum militia made the battle formation formed by the Atlantic crescent spearmen who had not yet changed their tactics even more chaotic, and once again these small but stable Barnum militiamen, with the huge shield in their hands, quickly destroyed the Macedonian battle formation set up by the Sunset Officer at the door, and the Sunset Officer had already been cut off by a certain militia in the influx of the Barnum militia.

Due to the death of the front-line commander, the morale of the party that never sets was greatly reduced due to the loss of the commander, and because of the loss of the front-line commander, when the Atlantlan crescent spearmen began to use the halberd fighting style to wield the crescent spear in their hands, it was already too late, because at this moment, the Barnum shield soldiers began to kill the Atlantan spearmen in the chaos in a 3-to-1 way with the advantage of numbers, although the Atlantan crescent spearmen could play Barnum militia in terms of attack, But this is at the expense of attack speed, and anyone who has ever played with several weapons knows that weapons like the halberd can swing at almost the slowest of all weapons. The sword and shield are the faster ones.

And in the chaos of the army, it is not a very wise choice to use the halberd to fight, after all, the wielding of the halberd is easy to make the halberd head touch something that should not be touched, such as obstacles, such as the comrades next to him......... Therefore, in the end, the Atlantan spearmen were defeated not by the inferior strength of the enemy, but by the chaotic and chaotic army.

This time, the sun never sets has little power to turn things around. Although in the later part of the battle, the Sunset side almost reduced its forces to the area around the main fort of the Wooden Fort, and then relied on the complex fortifications around the main fort to use the Macedonian battle formation again and again to block the attacks of the Water Kirin side again and again, but in the end, because of the close range of crossbowmen of the Sant hand, the Atlantan crescent spearmen, civilian archers and several grassroots officials and officers guarding the Wooden Fort all died in this nameless wooden fort, and the corpses and wooden forts of their own soldiers were charred in the last round.

Three days later, the fortress-level castle of the Western Continent, Fort Riptide, was ......... in the General Command Post of the Western Continent War

"The fortifications of District 11 have also been breached." After directing the latest battle report, General Sherman, as the new commander-in-chief of the Western Continent Army, calmly drew an X on one of the countless red dots on the huge strategic map behind him, and said to Assal, the previous commander-in-chief of the Western Continent Army next to him, while Rakuman, as the deputy commander-in-chief, was changing the fortifications around the Riptide Fort area again on the sand table according to the current situation of the enemy and the newly collected intelligence of the 400,000 troops of the Water Qilin.

Because the tactics were not suitable for the next battle of Fort Riptide, Assal, who was temporarily demoted to an ordinary general, picked up the battle report that Sherman put on the table, and after staring at the giant strategic map with many red dots behind Sherman, at least 10 of which were painted with X, in addition to several huge blue directional marker pieces of paper, he slowly said to Sherman in a helpless tone: "Commander-in-chief, integrate and read the battle report of the Water Qilin military collected before, We can now determine the disposition of the opposing army's more than 400,000 troops. Judging from this intelligence, the number of cavalry in the water unicorn army is about 70,000, nearly half of which are unicorn heavy knights, the rest are Darlan light cavalry, and the number of Watt war hammer soldiers is maintained between 120,000 and 150,000, in addition, they are all composed of Barnum militia, Sant hand crossbowmen and Imu short spearmen, but it is worth mentioning that the baggage troops on the water unicorn side seem to be composed of Barnum militia and Imu short spearmen, which are mixed with some from those who have been invaded in the inland areas of the western continent, Civilian archers .......... commanders-in-chief, now that the goal has been achieved, should we shrink our forces? ”

"Well, yes, then please go down and deal with it." After signing the return order, Sherman found Rakuman, who was limping around the command post on crutches: "Rakuman, how are the fortifications of Fort Riptide and other areas being built?" ”

"It's almost the same, located in the four cities northwest of Riptide Fort, our engineers have used the dam established before the destruction to turn all the surrounding areas of the four cities into flooded land, and the water unicorn army must cut down wood and build rafts on the spot if they want to pass by, and then our Xiyi soldiers will give these landlubbers a lesson that they will never forget; As for the Rainforest Defense Zone, which is southeast of Fort Riptide, our Longbow Force and 4 New Sunset Heavy Infantry Regiment will also be located here, cooperating with the Atlanta Noble Heavy Infantry Regiment to contain the Water Kirin's side; As for Fort Riptide, we can only see how many Atlantan Crescent spearmen have withdrawn before making a decision. ”

"Is there any news from General Yuri and the Griffin Knights?"

"Not for the time being, it is estimated that it will take at least more than 1 month for General Yuri and the 3 troops he brought to arrive, and the Griffin Knights have begun to try to cut off the rear supply line of the Water Qilin side, and the supply has not had much impact on the Water Qilin side because the terrain is not very familiar."

"Alas!" After sighing, Sherman was silent for a while, and Sherman continued to ask, "When will the main force of the Water Qilin army reach Riptide Castle?" ”

"Expected in 1 week, right? But if they bother to hunt down the retreating Atlantic spearmen, we should have two months at most. ”

"Now we can only hope that Riptide Fort is strong enough."
