203. The Sorcerer!
Traps, a very old means of application.
But now in the war pattern of the Miracle Continent, it is rare to see it, especially this kind of fire pit.
Dabron's face was not without reason.
Since the light infantry is modeled after the heavy infantry team, it is naturally not difficult to train and train, the five hundred light infantry in his hands are the belongings he has accumulated over the years, and he usually feels depressed and uncomfortable when he is injured one or two, otherwise he will not equip these people with the standard equipment that is already good in the light infantry, and the last time he went to attack the town where the Heroic Sword was stationed, he was not willing to use the five hundred light infantry, but he didn't expect that this time he just sent this army to the field, and he lost two, thirty people.
But anger to anger, Dabroun finally did not completely lose his mind, his tactics did not change, he still outflanked the two flanks, and the other troops advanced from the front. He can already see that the combat strength of this army is not very good, otherwise it would not be, if the two armies really clash, not to mention the difference in armaments, even the quality of the army itself, it can also completely defeat this army that he can't see the banner.
However, although this tactic has not changed, it has also ordered the troops to be cautious, and the former halberders, under the protection of the light infantry, began to investigate the trap to avoid falling into the trap ambush again. And the swordsman troops on the left and right flanks did not dare to enter the camp at this time, who knows if there are traps buried near this camp. If you start checking for traps near the camp at this time, then what's the difference between sending troops to the door and fighting the other side?
What's more, the swordsman troops on the left and right wings, in order to maintain their mobility ability, their protective gear is lighter leather armor, and the weapons in their hands are also light swords and other weapons that do not increase the burden, so the defense ability is naturally not high. If such an army advanced too hastily, William's archers could wipe out at least thirty or forty people with a single wave of arrows, and as long as they shot a few waves of arrows, the swordsman troops on both wings would be completely wiped out.
So rush to the aid of assault, outflanking and even cutting off the back road and the like. If it is performed by a swordsman unit, it is usually fine. But if it is to force an attack, then a lightly armed swordsman unit like Dabron, that is, how many die.
As a result, when they saw that the situation of the battle had changed, the swordsman troops on both wings immediately changed to wandering, and did not take the initiative to approach the camp, but were more like wolves wandering around looking for an opportunity.
The style and rhythm of the battlefield changed abruptly. The militia members immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
"Anno!"
William, as the true commander of this militia regiment, is naturally the one who is most likely to feel the changes in the entire army. He let out a roar, not only loud, but also full of energy, with a majestic awe-inspiring aura of his own, a roar that was enough for everyone around him to hear clearly. Even with the enemy army, he immediately knew who the commander of this army was.
Under normal circumstances, as a commander-in-chief, of course, it is impossible to expose his identity so easily. But now, William had to do this, because he had to give the entire militia enough confidence to let them know that his commander was fighting on the front line with them, and only in this way could he really inspire an army's belief in fighting, otherwise it would only be a round of shock. I'm afraid that this militia group will be defeated immediately.
And when the time comes. Six hundred swordsmen roaming the two wings would look like a real pack of wolves. began to frantically bite the fat on the body of this army.
William's shouts were heard.
The honest big man Anno let out a loud laugh, and the half-length shield and refined spear were lifted on him as if they were weightless. Behind him, nearly eighty Northland barbarians also raised their shields and raised their guns in unison, and as Anno raised the spear in his hand, the Northland barbarians let out an earth-shattering roar, which instantly raised the morale of the entire army to the limit.
Led by Anno, eighty Northland barbarians and two hundred pikemen immediately rushed out of the fortifications and rushed towards the enemy.
At this time, the light infantry and halberders of the Dabrohn mercenary regiment finally completed all the traps on the back 100 meters of the road, and finally found as many as 14 traps, although 20 or 30 soldiers were lost in the process, but this number was only wounded and not killed, compared to the first wave of rockets to shoot, the situation was naturally much better.
But at this time, they are also holding back a resentment in their hearts.
Seeing the charge of Anno and the others, these light infantry and halberders rushed forward without hesitation.
The two sides soon launched a round of hedging.
But the outcome of the battle was completely unexpected by everyone.
With the steel wings of the Northland barbarians as charging arrows, it was as smooth as a scorching dinner knife cutting into butter, and easily smashed through the formation of light infantry and halberders of the Dabroun mercenary group. All the soldiers who stood in front of the Iron Wings were knocked away by the Northland barbarians with brutal force, and then stabbed their spears into the opponent's body.
They did not pay attention to the results of the battle, but gave full play to all their strength, only trying to cut the enemy's position to the greatest extent. But after all, infantry is infantry, and it does not have the ability of cavalry to charge with the help of horses, so even if the formation of these light infantry and halberdiers is not particularly thick, the charging force led by Anno still did not penetrate out, but looked more like putting himself and others in danger, surrounded by the enemy.
In the face of the enemy's heavy encirclement, Anno and the others did not have the slightest fear, they directly launched a defensive position in the middle of the enemy army, although it seemed that they were surrounded by the enemy, but who could be sure that this was not a cancer?
Two hundred pikemen, under the protection of the Northland barbarians, began to stab with their spears, and they only had to keep stabbing their spears in all directions, and they didn't need to bother with anything else. Of course, the light infantry and halberdiers could not let this cancer continue to grow here, and the part of them that surrounded this unit began to pierce their weapons into this cancer, and more and more people were already involved in this battle that took place in the inner circle of the light infantry.
The other troops, who could not join the battle, began to storm the camp, targeting the commander who had just opened his mouth. These people are no longer recruits, and of course they know how important a commander is to a force, as long as they can capture or kill the opposing commander alive, then the army will completely collapse.
The last time they fought the Valiant Sword mercenary group, they suffered a loss in this regard.
But how could William be so easily caught. Five hundred shield-wielding recruits. It is the last line of defense in this camp. If they want to capture or kill William, they must break through this last line of defense, but these five hundred people are all young people from White Dove Town, and they are simply mortal enemies with the Dabroun mercenary group, so how can they be so easily defeated.
As for the six hundred swordsmen of the Dabroun Mercenary Regiment, William didn't bother to pay attention to the traps he had laid around the camp. That is, it is just against these people who are charging head-on, and there are no traps around at all. But these swordsman troops did not dare to take even a risk, they only dared to wander around and wait, wasting their physical strength in vain, judging from this point, these swordsman troops had already lost.
If they dare to venture in. Then William instead had to immediately announce a retreat.
It was this small psychological tactical victory that gave William time to delay, and naturally he had time to fight as many enemies as possible here. He knew very well that as long as an army had its first rout, it would be very difficult to regain morale, so William had to create a temporary strategic retreat even in the most advanced stage of retreat, and not let this retreat become a rout.
Arrows of enemy archers. Began to shoot at the camp continuously. Anno was on the battlefield because of the enemy's own people, so the opponent's bow and arrow did not dare to shoot there. And so it goes. This was again the result of William's calculations, and he raised his head and glanced at the sky, which was about ten minutes before it would fall into darkness, and then the battlefield would fall into a dark situation, and in the absence of torches and light, the role of the archers would be much lower, and that was when he gave the order to retreat.
The battlefield formed by the camp has begun to become staggered, and the soldiers on both sides have entered the stage of real fighting, and in this state they can only rely on the quality and armament of the armies of the two warring sides. But at this point, everyone knows that the militia of the Puda militia regiment will definitely not be able to win each other in these two aspects, because the gap is too big, and the casualty ratio of the two warring sides has begun to increase.
The expected victory did not appear as Dabroun had imagined, and with Anno's cancer constantly killing his light infantry, Dabron's voice was fierce: "Mr. Weiss! …… Can you land an attack on that battlefield? ”
The direction that Dabron was pointing to was Annobu's defensive position in the enemy's formation.
A middle-aged man standing next to him holding a long staff glanced at it, and then said, "I need to get closer, at least to a position of three hundred meters." ”
Dabroun nodded, and he and more than a dozen cavalrymen around him began to escort the middle-aged man named Weiss as he began to gradually approach the battlefield. As soon as these people moved, William of course saw it very clearly, but in the current situation, even if he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't have time for him to think carefully about the reason, so he could only see that the other party gradually came to a place about three hundred meters away from the frontline battle formation.
However, a few seconds later, in the heads of Anno and the others, a dark cloud was rapidly condensing, and even William could clearly feel the powerful and incomparable magic fluctuations.
At this moment, William's face suddenly turned pale: Magician!
"How can the other party have a magician!"
As if in response to William's words, more than a dozen golden thunderbolts as thick as buckets split out from the dark clouds in the sky and fell straight into the defensive array formed by Anno!
Heaven and earth change color! (To be continued.) )
