The Dabroun mercenary group marched in silence.

War has become a daily order for them, and the vast majority of them enjoy the killing sensation of war.

Dabroun rode on a war horse, this is a kind of war horse unique to the fascist kingdom, the body is huge, whether it is durability, gravity can be said to be outstanding, in the world of the most popular mounts can be ranked in the top ten, this honor is not simple, especially this war horse is still an authentic creature, not a strong creature such as a monster.

Dabron didn't pay attention to the two towns in this territory at all, and in his opinion, if it wasn't for the chaos caused by the counterattack of the Heroic Sword last time, that town would have been taken by him a long time ago, and he would not have been punished by the young master later. Thinking of this, Dabron felt extremely angry, but after coming to the canyon and seeing that there was actually an army setting up a defensive position here, Dabron immediately calmed down.

He had seen the other party's banner, but the banner of this army was not the banner of the Sword of Valiant or the Serpent of Harbinder, but a new banner, which made him wonder a little, for he had never seen such a banner before. Under such circumstances, Dabroun naturally did not dare to attack rashly, so he quickly ordered the army to rest in place for half a day, and after the hottest noon, he chose to attack at a slightly cooler dusk.

However, in this round of attack, Dabron did not exert all his strength, but sent 500 soldiers to test it.

A seasoned commander can tell from the size of the enemy's barracks how many people the opposing army has.

A commander like Dabron, just by observing, could already tell that the opposing army was probably only about a thousand people. It was only because he did not know the strength of the distance for the time being, so Dabron did not immediately launch a fierce attack, but adopted a more conservative exploratory offensive method, which is also a common combat method when the two armies are fighting, but it generally appears in wars with tens of thousands of units.

The size of five hundred people, as a tentative confrontation, is also a big deal for Dabron.

These are five hundred light infantry with shields and swords.

Miracle on the continent. Heavy infantry is generally heavily armored with heavy tower shields. At the very least, it would take 300 men to form a combat unit. Under normal circumstances, these heavy infantry are not equipped with weapons, and their duty is to be a rock on the battlefield to resist the charge of the opponent's cavalry; Of course, if this is the case, it will be difficult to be effective, so the heavy infantry will usually be equipped with at least twice as many as the heavy infantry, which is a heavy spear five meters long. It took three people to work together to hold the spear, which was said to be the standard combat weapon of the Dragon Knight.

If you want to train such an army, the funds you need to consume are naturally extremely huge, and generally speaking, except for the country and those powerful nobles, the general small nobles are not capable of training such an army. As a result, the army that was formed and improved according to this specification began to become popular on the Miracle Continent.

Like Sean's steel wings. At this moment, the light infantry sent by Dabroun was rebuilt according to the specifications of heavy infantry and dragon pikemen. Of course, armies like this naturally have different development priorities, such as Steel Wings, which was famous for relying on positional defense and counterattack operations in the game; The light infantry is a relatively common reform system in this world, which sacrifices defense while also allowing the troops to have a certain combat ability, not as passive as the heavy infantry, and the mobility is relatively higher than the steel wings.

Before the battle. William saw that the other side had sent only five hundred light infantry. There was a slight sigh of relief on his face: "It seems that it is not difficult to survive an hour." ”

Puda's face. It also shows a hint of relaxation. As long as the other party is willing to carry out a tentative attack, then with the cooperation of eighty steel wings and pikemen and archers, these five hundred people can definitely be completely defeated, so the other party needs to rethink the tactical approach, which is naturally more beneficial than disadvantageous to William, who has made up his mind to delay time, so he can't wait for this battle to drag on here for three days and two nights.

"Our lord, it's been almost two months since you've been gone." Puda asked suddenly.

"It's been two months and seven days." William spoke.

"Are you afraid?" Puda asked again.

"Of course I'm afraid." William nodded, "I'm afraid that when the lord returns, all he will see is a territory burning with war!" ”

Puda nodded, not saying anything more. In fact, he really wanted to ask why he didn't invite Cecilia, a magician, to come out, but considering his own identity, he was really not qualified to ask this, so he didn't speak, in fact, if Cecilia could also join this battle, then this war would be a lot easier, at least he had seen Cecilia's magical power.

It's just that William also has a hard time saying about this kind of thing. Cecilia has entered a completely self-meditative state, and no one knows when she wakes up, and although William does not have any combat ability, he is still very clear about things like this, as long as Cecilia wakes up, it must be a superior bronze, and Dabron has no magician after all, so William naturally did not wake Cecilia at this time.

Soon, five hundred light infantry were approaching the front line.

The first round of arrows rained down and soon shot out of the military formation.

One hundred recruits, led by eighty veterans, shot all the arrows from their bowstrings and fell into the formation of five hundred light infantry.

These light infantry were obviously real veterans, they still marched silently, but at the same time raised the long shield in their hands - this is a military shield different from the round shield, about fifty centimeters long, solid wood clad iron, half a meter shorter than the half-body shield, but more than twice as light, is the standard configuration of light infantry.

When these light infantry raised their shields in unison, the change in the formation of the five hundred people looked like a wave of the sea, full of a shocking pleasing to the eye. Even if these were enemy troops, William and Puda couldn't help but let out a secret praise in their hearts, because to be able to train an army to such a uniform movement, this training alone requires at least years of dedication and accumulation.

The fall of the rain of arrows, without any suspense, did not make any achievements, only a tinkling sound was heard, and the sound was not dense or sparse at all.

William's hand was raised again, and one hundred and eighty bows and arrows drew their bows again. This time it's not a projectile. Instead, aim from the front. When William's hand waved, only a hundred bows rang out in unison, and the arrows immediately burst out of the air and shot at the five hundred light infantry again.

The whistling arrows were like locusts, and although the number was not large, the salvo of nearly two hundred arrows was still a shock—of course, this shock was nothing to the people of the militia regiment, and to the five hundred light infantry. After all, in a chaotic place like the Savage Land, what kind of cruel and tragic war has never been seen. Therefore, these light infantry only lowered their raised long shields and intercepted them in front of them, blocking these arrows from the front, but their pace did not stop in the slightest.

"Free Fire!" Seeing how quickly these light infantry moved. William, however, did not lose any color, and still calmly gave a new commanding order.

As a result, the archers began to shoot freely, either projectile, lob, or flat, all without restrictions. In this way, these light infantry naturally have to maintain the posture of raising and erecting shields all the time, although this has increased some of their physical exertion, but the effect is also real. Because William's side has already fired at least five rounds of arrow rain attacks. However, the 500 light infantry has not been attrition in the slightest.

Dabroun, who was riding on a tall horse, looked at the change in the battle situation in front of him, and finally let out a sneer: "The two wings of the troops are revenge. The archers marched into range in a hurry, and the others rushed head-on! …… Give the order to the forward troops to charge and break through the enemy's defenses! ”

Soon, the heralds immediately began to carry out Dabron's orders.

I saw that the Dabroun mercenary group, which was still standing still, soon changed, and the troops on the left and right flanks were swordsman troops based on mobile combat, with 300 people each, and they were lightly armed, and their action was naturally much faster than that of light infantry and others. If you look down from above, you can see that the two forces are like a dark cloud, quickly scattering to both sides, and then begin to outflank the fortifications built by William, as if intending to cut off the retreat of the militia.

The remaining 1,000 men rushed forward quickly, more than half of them were archers, and the other part were halberders armed with halberds. These halberds can also be regarded as a kind of heavy infantry, but they are not mainly defensive, but more offensive, they are armed with halberds, wearing plate armor, ten people can form a matching squad, in the same infantry combat units, halberdiers can often exert a strong combat effectiveness.

Seeing that in an instant, the Dabrohn mercenary group immediately launched a full-scale offensive, and the face of the militia group finally became a little pale, this heavy killing aura has completely spread on this battlefield, and the militia of the Puda militia group finally felt the real difference of the battlefield in front of them.

Only William, still with a calm face, looked at the light infantry who began to attack, and said in a deep voice: "Spearmen prepare!" ”

The pikemen lined up immediately raised their spears in their hands, and then stepped forward in unison, pushing themselves against the front of the fortifications, and it seemed that they were the first line of defense that the light infantry would crush. But when the light infantry of the Dabroun mercenary regiment saw these young pikemen trembling a little, they immediately became extremely excited, but although they were excited, at least they did not forget the military discipline, and their formation remained very intact.

But the next second!

I heard a burst of exclamations and screams, and the group of light infantry that rushed fastest was still more than ten meters away from the camp, and they immediately stepped into the air and fell into the pit one after another. This pit is not deep, but it is still several meters, and the width and length are not small, so when the front row of these light infantry falls into dozens of people, the formation of the entire light infantry is chaotic.

"Rocket!" At this time, William, who seemed to have expected it for a long time, shouted coldly again, "Shoot! ”

A burst of rockets was thrown from the camp and then fell into the pit, and in an instant a blazing flame rose into the sky, and a terrible howl erupted from the fire pit.

In the distance, Dabroun's face instantly became extremely difficult to see. (To be continued.) )
