Vol 4 Chapter 27: Defeated

Regarding the conciliation of arms, it has always been the favorite discussion or controversy among students at all levels of knight schools and low-level officers.
Of course, most people vaguely agree with the following cycle: Cavaliers can move at high speed and can quickly gather again to form a strike force, so they are naturally restrained by infantry without long-range attack; the standard square shields and long shields of infantry are naturally restrained by archers. Infantry phalanxes invade the archer phalanx, and the archers must be completely eliminated; the archers restrain the knights, and it is difficult for the knight troops to effectively use the shield in high-speed movement, and once the arrow feather hits the moving knight, it will inevitably cause greater blow And even hitting the mount can cause fatal damage to the knight. Even the most expensive heavy knight can't stand the long shot of a long archer at a distance of 150 meters.
The magician troops are ignored here-due to their scarcity, in most countries, the magicians in the army are only used for small-scale wars such as surprise attacks.
What is interesting is that senior military commanders in various countries rarely talk about issues such as the suppression of arms. When subordinates ask such questions, most of them simply say: the place varies with time.
Just like the ancestor of Aotian Ikegami, outside the city of Gifu, the 6000 knights faced the main army of 16,000 integrated arms fighting against the city, and there were even more than 1,000 clerics after the transfer. If you put this topic on any In a classroom of a knight school, there is only one answer: the knight troops must be defeated.
And the result?
Chapter 27 of "Chi Yizi's Theory of Art of War" failed to attack Suharto.
The Holy See rarely participates in head-on wars, but this does not mean that the Holy See does not cultivate war personnel. As one of the coaches of South Xinjiang, Suharto is one of the young handsome men who stood out in previous military exercises. Although he is a bit arrogant, the Holy See gave him a very high evaluation: "The use of soldiers is rigorous, like being on thin ice, and rarely hit by his own mistakes. The offensive is heavy and defensive." This evaluation is among more than 40 senior officers in the two major territories of the Holy See. Can be ranked in the top 20.
In the face of 6000 knights, including nearly 600 air archers, Suharto knows that if he takes the initiative to attack, if he uses knights to attack, the number and quality of the opponent knights are higher than himself, and it is easy to suffer unnecessary attacks during the attack. Heavy damage; if you use infantry as the main force of attack, the result will inevitably be that the formation is torn up. After the enemy knights move at high speed, they can gather again to give the infantry from the sides a fatal blow. For such a dense knight force, the best way is to wait for the opponent to take the initiative to attack, use the infantry to contain its strength, the archer and the clergy form a stepped attack, and the knight force finally launches the attack.
As an excellent commander, Suharto will certainly not ignore the archer troops above his head: "Smoke, defense shield, magic defense shield."
The Chinese army quickly raised the wolf smoke flag, the square shield flag, and the magic shield flag. The light infantry in the back took small pieces of wolf smoke from the bag behind them-wolf smoke is roughly divided into two types in the military application. One type is used to attack the enemy. This wolf smoke is mixed with croton, pepper and puffer blood. Once ignited by highly toxic and irritating objects, they will invade the enemy formation along the wind (mostly enemy cities). If there is no prior defense, soldiers with deep poisoning will generally fall into a state of dying; there is also a kind of wolf smoke that is specifically used to smoke After being washed and dried, the effect of wolf dung is kept, but it is non-toxic. This kind of wolf smoke is generally used in beacon transmission information and army retreat to confuse or cover up opponents.
The light infantry put the wolf dung in a small skin sac, sprinkled with spontaneous combustion powder lightly, and threw it away far away-after 60 breaths, a huge wolf smoke mass had formed over the entire Holy Vatican Force.
At the same time, the heavy infantry walked forward slowly, lifting up a giant iron-clad oak shield half a person tall and one meter wide, and the clergy began to chant the magic of the holy shield. Half of the shield has been covered with white gloss. Even the longbow can't shoot through the oak iron shield, and the sacred shield can effectively absorb the penetration force of the arrow. Under multiple protections, the instructors already have considerable reliability in defending crossbows.
"I really don't know what the opponent is doing? What is the use of so many knights?" Suharto muttered softly.
In the sky, the two Eudemons knights and Chi Aotian were in a half-face, or watching Chi Aotian's movements. When they saw that the phalanx had been lined up, the wolf smoke slowly rose, and the two knights thanked Chi Aotian. : "Thank you for appeasing innocent people, see you on the battlefield."
A sneer came from under the bone armor mask. The bone dragon knight's words echoed through the air with a strong killing intention: "This is the battlefield, and the two don't need to go back."
The Eudemons Knight immediately noticed Chi Aotian ’s intentions, and the two horses stepped on the white floating light to flash to both sides. The 2.7 knight's spear and the knight's garden shield simultaneously protected left and right.
It is a pity that they are facing the Dragon Knight. With the same martial arts, only ten Eudemons Knights can contend with a Dragon Knight. At this time, the Dragon Knight is a Necrotic Dragon Knight with the strength to approach the Holy Dragon Knight.
The wing of the dragon is violently vibrating, the mouth is constantly emitting yellow poisonous gas, and the huge body rushes towards a middle-aged Eudemons knight like a mountain. There is only one bone dragon knight in the pan-continent, and the outstanding performance of the bone dragon knight outside the ice-breaking port has been sung by the bards in the continents. Both the spear and the sword are a kind of warrior's dream of a worldly warrior, and ordinary shields cannot be blocked.
The middle-aged knight had a pale complexion, his whole body was attached to the horse's back, his feet kicked desperately on both sides of the mount, and he urged Si Re to go straight to the battlefield.
Another young Eudemons knight took off the horn bow from the back and fired two arrow feathers to the dragon knight in his breath. Chi Aotian ignored it at all. The long arrow hit the bone armor and bounced to the ground almost twice at the same time. Fall.
The priests on the ground have already seen the changes in the air. In front of the dragons with their wings flying, the Eudemons Knight is helpless and pitiful like a lamb. In a blink of an eye, the red and sharp dragon spear has approached the Eudemons Knight ’s back. Under the spitting sunlight, the dragon gun actually reflected the black light of death.
More than 20 great priests with the title of bishop in the Holy See sang loudly at the same time: "Holy light, listen to my destiny in the name of the true Delo ..."
"Holy Spirit ~ Evil Spirit ~~ Light and Shadow ~~ Combine your endless power ..."
"God, condemn the evil enemy ..."
Not only Chi Aotian, all people did not expect that there are so many high-level sacred believers here, and even some people have become the highest-ranking saints and wise men of known pastors. Chi Aotian didn't understand the sacred magic. He wanted to walk away from the dragon without slowing down. Elder Qingluo's face has become extremely ugly, and his voice has changed his taste: "Quick !!! Quickly avoid !!!"
Chi Aotian never felt that the elves were so discolored, and immediately realized that he was in a bad situation, and took the dragon to the sky, but ... it was too late ...
Quite a lot of high-level believers folded their palms together, and the bright and bright of light gradually gathered in their hands. The of light turned into a beam of light, like a meteor shooting toward Chi Aotian, and raindrops on Chi Aotian, To fall off the dragon's torso ...
In the few chanting rooms of the believers, a strong holy light appeared in the sky. Under the light of the holy light, the power of the shadow seemed to become more powerful ... The interaction of light and shadow made people fall into a dizzy, Light and shadow thundered on Liliong.
In contrast, the most commonly used holy word by low-level priests turned into a low-level holy magic attack.
The undead dragon knight fell like a thunder, and countless lights exploded like a meteorite. In the light and shadow, the dragon knight struggled painfully. He wanted to leave the dragon to release unwilling sorrow.
Qingluo has been in the world for hundreds of years. It is quite clear that all elemental magic has no effect on the undead race like the dragon, but the sacred magic of the Holy Church is inherently more than doubled, especially It is a high-level priest like a saint, and it has the ability to expel and destroy all undead.
"All the vulture warriors are there, the enemies behind the magician, five rounds of volley, elves, blessing natural magic." Qingluo ordered loudly.
The vulture swordsmen and vulture archers lowered their mounts violently, and the various feathers screamed and fell, falling like raindrops on the pure white magic shield, causing numerous ripples, especially the green arrow feathers All crashed into the light shield deeply. The holy magic elves and the wood-based magic elves made a loud noise. After two breaths, the magic shields issued by the first few low-level priests were first invaded by the green arrow feathers, and the two priests dodge It was too late to be penetrated by several arrows, and it was too late to fall down with a cry.
The high-level priest had already felt the shaking of his magic shield on the verge of collapse, and had to withdraw the attack chant, and instead summoned more layers of holy shield.
Finally freed from the dragon with a long cry, landed quickly, disappeared without a trace at the moment of landing. In the attack just now, although Lilong had withstood almost all the attacks, the pressure of the divine magic reached Chi Aotian through the bone dragon plate armor, and the teenager simply couldn't stand, shaking and almost falling to the ground. When the knights on the ground fell to support Chi Aotian, they discovered that Chi Aotian had oozed blood in his nose and mouth, and his hands were covered with bloodshot red dots.
In any war before this, even when fighting head-to-head with the three dragon knights, Chi Aotian had not been hit so hard, and of course he didn't even know that holy magic would be his natural nemesis. The blood of the internal organs was pressed all over the body, and Chi Aotian suddenly found that everything in front of him turned red-blood was also pressed out of his eyes.
"General, how are you?" The captain of the ground dragon knight brigade in the Tongyunguan war zone, Man Naihai's body armor cannot jump from the ground dragon. Temporary and then withdraw? "
Chi Aotian's blood-red pupils stared at Manaihai, and took his black mount from his side, turning over: "Revenge, how to talk about life and death."
The blood-stained teenager finished coldly, took the flag from the guards around him, and issued several commands in a row.
The green flag quickly rose and then landed halfway, the black eagle-winged flag quickly rose and then landed halfway, the black Athlon flag was raised halfway, and the two black dragon head triangle flags were raised and tilted to the left and right respectively.
In the sky, the vulture elf archer and the vulture swordsmen who first received the command pressed the vulture at the same time. The elves scolded the wolves from the rolling wolf smoke and rushed up before the attacks of the Holy See soldiers and priests. The blue sky, with the eyes of the elves, was enough for this moment. The scouts scattered several arrows at the rolling smoke to indicate the direction, and more than 500 knight eagles continuously shot two short sacs and 48 short sacs. Arrows, even with a large oak shield, more than 20,000 short arrows still gave a nearly collapsed blow. In addition to heavy infantry protection, thousands of light infantry have always been on the ground. The deadly loss was the horn bow troops. At the moment of being attacked by the short arrows, some horn archers could not help shooting the arrow feathers into the sky. Although this blind shot shot the two vulture fighters from the air, but with it Nearly ten thousand short arrows completely covered the horn bow position. The heavy infantry cannot be protected in any way. When the arrow feathers no longer fall from the smoke, more than half of the archers have lost the ability to fight again. If each kryptonite knight can carry more quiver, perhaps, all horn bow troops will be buried in one fell swoop. Of course, if there is such a case, the Gifu City defenders will definitely not go out of the city to fight.
After the attack of the wild eagle archer, the Athlon team around Chi Aotian moved. In the thunder, the 600 knights of the first squadron of the Athlon team pulled down the mask neatly, lined up in 200 rows, and ran to The position 200 meters before the Holy Vatican soldiers suddenly stood still. This position is the limit of the angle archer's shooting. Up here, the angle arch can only cause harm to ordinary light infantry.
The apprentice cavalry brigade behind Chi Aotian was urgently started. The two relegated captains each led a squadron, roaring against the back of the Athlon squadron with their mouths and rolling towards the sides.
"Shooting!" Suharto couldn't figure out what Chi Aotian had to do. Looking at the light knight brigade with an effective range of bows and arrows, he hoped that a round of rapid fire could test the enemy's reaction. Perhaps, there are some gains.
Boom ...
Nearly a thousand white arrow feathers broke through the sky. After taking a few breaths, the locusts were thrown into the knight camp. The flat naked land seemed to suddenly drop a heavy snow. More than a dozen knights were thrown out of the outermost and the mounts screamed. With a spasm of helplessness, the blood rushed out of the horse's flesh.
"Backfire!"
The two former captains commanded at the same time that there was no need to aim at all. More than 2,000 cavaliers were shooting at the enemy camp. The accuracy and shooting moment of the knights were definitely not comparable to the horn archers, so the distance was closer to the sacred The light infantry of the Holy See has been hit by the pond fish. The gourd has not yet been shot. The light infantry camp has a tendency to shake-no matter how thick the nerves are, it can't stand the death. It is just in front of it. It can't fight back.
The knights of the two squadrons have already passed by the front camp. On the side, the crossbow on the city wall can be launched freely without worrying about accidental injury. It should suppress the opponent's riding.
Unexpectedly, the two cavalry squadrons made an arc and returned to the team again, while the light cavalry of the remaining one squadron actually took another 12 rapid shots along the two cavalry teams just now. From the Holy Vatican soldiers.
Terror spreads slightly among the soldiers like a plague. Suharto frowned and ordered the lower priest to go to the light infantry camp under the protection of heavy infantry and give treatment.
"In the name of Dinya! Holy elves ~ show your power!"
"In the name of Dinya! Holy elves ~ show your power!"
"The great Holy Spirit, please implore your word to send a blessing of stability to the lost ..."
The white holy light falls from the sky, gently oscillating the wounded soldier ’s injury, the instructors once again feel the favor of God, the minor skin trauma is almost instantaneously prepared, and the severely wounded soldier also stops bleeding and coma Go to sleep.
Commander His Excellency Suharto has realized that blind defense will be wiped out by the enemy like layers of bamboo shoots.
The heavy infantry flag rises with the wind, the 2000 heavy infantry starts across the board, and the 500 oak shields form the Yanyue convex array, which is laminated like a black cloud; then half of the surviving light infantry camp closely followed; followed by the horn bow Camp and priest camp. Except for the knight, Suharto used almost all the power in his hands.
"Shoot!"
The commanders on both sides shouted orders almost simultaneously.
Arrow feathers struck through the air and hissed into a single point. The 0.79-meter-long standard horn bow and arrow and the slightly shorter crossbow were shot at the same time, even colliding in the air. After a few breaths, the rain fell.
As far as the actual situation is concerned, both the archer and the Athlon knight are wasting resources unnecessarily.
Unless it is a super unlucky person, the arrows of less than 1.2 meters in length do not have any effect on the heavy armored Athlon knights and heavy infantry. At most, the iron arrow tip crossed the cast iron armor to bring the soldiers hearing On the pain.
After 20 breaths, the distance between the two sides is only 130 meters.
The Athlon Knights suddenly reversed their mounts and trot all the way to the battlefield.
The Gifu City garrison paused for a moment-according to what the soldiers in Gifu City knew about the imperial soldiers, there was no precedent for the Dragon Knight to escape. The frontmost commander subconsciously glanced back at the command flag of the array, and issued the order to advance again.
The Black Dragon Knights Trainee Cavaliers retreated across the board, and then, the Knights of the Dragon under the Arrow Rain slowly retreated across the board.
Suddenly, the earth was trembling, and the inexperienced knight turned his head subconsciously to see that the Gifu City knight troops moved, and they were all invested.
Close to the ground, the silver light knight troops were overwhelmed from both sides. The square of the infantry in the middle suddenly cracked. 1500 heavy knights were lined up in 100 columns like a fire wall. The red horses of the same color of the grassland and the Holy See of the same color A special red heavy armor, a colorful flame-like cloak, the same red horseshoe lifted the earth green clothes, and dozens of red Teutonic flags danced over the flames.
"Retreat!" Issued not only the password, all the command flags were covered, and the Black Dragon Knights retreated like a tide.
Bombing camp! The Black Dragon Knights, who were chased closely, suddenly blew up the camp. In order to get rid of the pursuit, the trainee knights with the swallowtail flag left the main line and fled to the left and right. The middle speed dragon knight was slow due to the heavy armor. After a short 100 breath, the silver light knight was chased end to end, and has lost the neat team and turned into a scattered line.
Suharto and the generals did not expect that the result of the adversary was so easy. It seems that the imperial commander had a wrong understanding of the strength of both sides. Without any hesitation, Suharto personally led the last 100 guard knights from the left.
The battle situation changed suddenly and suddenly.
Among the nearly one hundred knights in the front of the Black Dragon Knights, a huge black dragon flag suddenly unfolded. All the speed dragon knights slammed back and pulled the crossbow in their hands. Within 30 meters, the crossbow could penetrate the whole steel. All defenses outside the cast plate armor.
The first hundreds of light knights were each penetrated by different numbers of crossbows at the same time. The huge impulse lifted the knight's unconscious body from the horseback like a kite, hitting the knight in the back heavily, and the bones cracked one slice. The knight at the back hurriedly took Si Reun to avoid both sides.
The Athlon knights hung their crossbows around them, dancing with one-handed hammers and one-handed square shields, bursting into the chaos of light knights with a laugh, before the hammers had fallen, Athlon's sharp claws and hanging The spitting teeth had been in close contact with the neck of the light knight's mount. The torn artery shot a blood arrow, and the hammer fell on the light knight's body. After the dull bone crack, the mouth of the knight was beaten. Spouting into blood mist.
Then the heavy inertia of the heavy knights who followed closely did not allow them to make any evasive actions. In the face of the light knight companions who had been cluttered, the heavy knights had to throw their knightly war guns on the ground and pull them from the ribs. Out of the scimitar, he slashed at the enemy fiercely, but the claspboard leaf armor on the ground dragon knight didn't care about the cutting of the sharp weapon. The whistling warhammer effortlessly beat the scimitar and lost its original appearance. Going out, the sharp-pointed hammer stick hits the pure steel armor and makes a dull sound. Some powerful dragon knights even directly overturn the heavy knight and the mount hammer to the ground-the power of the heavy knight's joint charge can completely match the ground The dragon rider is long and short, but in this close fight, especially after the opponent has chosen the hammer, all that is left is the time to defeat.
At the same time that the light knight brigade was annihilated, the Black Dragon Knights trainee knight suddenly returned his horse head from the pocket, rushing from the two wings to the enemy's infantry phalanx. There is no need to aim at the opponent's camp to scatter. The disordered arrow feathers screamed piercingly, falling like thatch.
The Gifu garrison phalanx has been pulled into a horizontal brigade, with heavy infantry, light infantry, archers, and priests lined up in four horizontal rows. The enemy suddenly changed the direction of the attack. The giant phalanx was too late to turn around. To command the soldiers to gather again, unfortunately ... everything is late ...
Arrow Yubang shot over another piece of soldiers. The light infantry and archers who dodge the arrows in a panic disrupted the heavy infantry camp and knocked down the weak priest. The two captains led the team to cut down several soldiers in succession but did not. No effect.
The Gifu army on the east side collapsed first. The panicked soldiers turned and ran towards the city wall. The officers on the west side were still supporting the camp. However, after counting the number of more than 200 knight eagles suddenly arrived, their skills were extremely agile The boys jumped into the archer camp and the priest camp from a height of more than 2 meters. The black swords penetrated the body with no melee ability without any obstruction.
Although in a large-scale battle battle, the swordsman battalion's attack power is extremely weak, but when caught in a melee fight, the weapons such as lances and halberds are greatly restricted, and the swords attack power suddenly appears. . Three or four young swordsmen with white filial belts in their heads and black leather armor form a squad formation. The thin black sword trembles in the white sacred shield and picks up countless bloodlines. After 10 breaths, There was no longer any standing clergyman on the battlefield.
The trainee cavalry brigade hung their horns, and with their long swords and scimitars flooded into the infantry camp, the Gifu camp finally collapsed across the board.
The panicked soldiers rushed towards the Gifu city wall, and the heavy soldiers waved their maces in vain. Unfortunately, they faced knights rolled like a gust, and the meniscus and the thin sword quickly twisted from the heavy infantry armor. Stabbing ~ EbookFREE.me ~ was violently brought out, blood spewed out intermittently.
Suharto's face became extremely ugly. Even a commander like him who had not experienced any battle line knew that the completely collapsed phalanx had lost the meaning of salvation. At this time, it was no longer a time for personal prestige. The next 100 knights turned their horses and rushed towards the city gate-he forgot that he had rushed out of the wall protection area of ​​bow and arrow for more than 400 meters in his triumph, and at this time, outside the bow and arrow range, more than 300 forest elves did not know what The time was already waiting, all the elves were holding green short bows in their hands, and the last one or two short arrows remained on the short bows.
"Holy God, give me sacred defense ..."
Many knights sang at the same time-no wonder these knights did not rush in. These knights were selected from clergy who are more powerful and unable to develop further in sacred magic, as the knights control the entire battle. .
Red and white magic elves hustle and bustle to form a colorful magic shield. Then, the knights pulled down the shields in sequence-no one doubted the double defense effect formed by the magic shield and the metal plate leaf armor. Suharto believed that as long as he crossed the forest elf defense line, he could still rely on the remaining 4,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of devout residents to enter the city.
Charge ... Joint Charge ... 300 meters ... 200 meters ... 150 meters ... 100 meters ...
"Gun--gun--" the outermost knight yelled. The 100 2.7-meter knight long guns were put down at the same time. Under the scorching sun, the starlight of the gun flashed.
50 meters……
Under the mask, all the knights showed a glance, 50 meters. For the galloping horses, only four breaths were needed. After the four breaths, even the elves who are best at bows and arrows have lost control.
