Chapter 415: Legion

An army of knights and priests cruised around the battlefield that the blood navy stretched for more than ten miles, looking for the weak points of the battlefield.
A cavalry squad of hundreds of people led by a ground knight suddenly violently charged towards a relatively weak position with only base-building soldiers.
The soldiers squatted down close together as if they were facing the enemy, and the three-meter-long gun points were forty-five degrees outwards. Many indigenous soldiers who went on the battlefield for the first time turned pale with fright and trembling.
"Haha, sloppy chops!"
The charge of the knight squad was about to hit the battle formation, but it suddenly turned, staggering to the distance, with a short spear like raindrops in his hand, blasting on the battle formation, and the iron cavalry figure was fleeting.
The screams were continuous, and the rigorous battlefield suffered heavy casualties. Many foundation-building warriors' chests were blasted out of basin-sized holes by short spears, and their bodies were instantly broken in two, and the position was messed up.
The surroundings witnessed this tragic scene as horribly as hell. The indigenous soldiers crashed directly, and were brutally killed by the supervising team and forced to return to their original place.
The morale of the players and soldiers has not collapsed, but their faces are also ugly. This situation of being beaten and unable to resist makes people feel extremely bad.
This kind of scene was staged at any moment several kilometers away from the most central 10,000-plus Qi Refining Realm troops.
Most of the Imperial Army confronted the Blood Sea Guild from three kilometers away, and the small units were divided into dozens of units. They harassed and attacked the base-building troops out of the range of players and wizards in the refining realm. Soon thousands of people were killed. Casualties.
Compared to the 200,000 army, these numbers are indeed not many, and they are only the lowest rank soldiers, but they have a great impact on morale.
More importantly, these two hundred thousand troops were firmly imprisoned in place, and the grain and grass were cut off. Once the opponent's follow-up reinforcements surged in, the little advantage that was hard to get would be wasted.
"Gregory III is very stable."
Seeing this, Zhao Shi made a faint comment.
In ancient wars, cavalry was not directly used to attack infantry positions as many people imagined, unless the cavalry commander's brain broke.
Not to mention that the cost and logistical maintenance of the cavalry are at least four times that of an infantry. It is definitely a blood loss to replace the infantry with a tight formation, and it can make the opposing commander happy from ear to ear.
And even if the cavalry commander insisted on attacking the tight infantry battle formation, he couldn't do so.
That's right, as long as a cavalry of the same number of infantry phalanx is above the standard, it can hardly be beaten!
The two-meter-three-meter long spears were intensively mounted, and as long as the soldiers didn't collapse in the first row, the position was stable.
The advantage of cavalry lies in its mobility and impact. The real usage is to cut off the infantry corps' food team, to search for weak infantry battle formations or flanks to attack, or to find places where chaos has not formed a tight battle formation to charge.
The cavalry will charge directly only when they are in the upper hand, or when the enemy has lost a close battle.
The knights of the empire are a bit different. They are much stronger than the ancient infantry. They are equivalent to fully armed armored vehicles with fighting spirit, capable of attacking the base of the army.
But once they are surrounded by 200,000 base-building soldiers, players in the air-refining realm will attack in groups, and they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
And now, as long as you drag Zhao Shi and the others, cut off the food and grass, and let the follow-up reinforcements arrive, you can occupy a huge strategic advantage, abolish the advantage of more than 10,000 players in the gas refining realm, and turn the battle situation back to the bright city battlefield. Case.
And this time the situation was worse than last time, and the empire had more than a dozen sky priests to supplement it.
"Order, the army will move towards Fengshoubao and try to maintain the battlefield."
"Yes, President!"
At Zhao Shi's order, the rock-solid barracks began to move slowly, like a slow-moving snake walking towards the blood sea guild.
The dense and neat battle formation was deformed a little while moving.
At the beginning, under the loud shouts of commanders at all levels, the army formation could still remain square, but soon, the square became a big pie shape without going too far, and the Brownian motion was faintly distributed to all directions.
Huh huh~
A series of short spears slashed across the sky, shooting into the crowd and setting off a storm, stumps and broken arms covered the ground, but there was no scene of chaos and collapse in the imagination of the imperial knight.
Many players just glanced around at random, then lazily continued on their way, disregarding the scenes around them.
The indigenous soldiers were terrified, but despite the players' suppression and the players themselves impulsively protecting them with a physical shield, there was no riot, and the team was still advancing in an orderly manner.
Soon after several rounds of attacks, the small knight responsible for the harassment consumed his vindictiveness to the cordon, and had to retreat temporarily, not daring to continue consuming his strength on these foundation-building soldiers.
"These people are demons..."
Many knights who fought with players in person for the first time looked at those players who turned a blind eye to their teammates fighting to death, talked and laughed, and felt chills in their hearts, feeling that everything they did was useless.
"Your Majesty, do you want to increase the harassment power?"
The battle on the ground soon spread to Gregory III, and a royal sky knight next to him asked softly.
Obviously, the few knights at this stage cannot attack the blood sea army at all.
"How far are our soldiers?"
Gregory III looked at the battle below for a long time and asked another question.
"Forty-six kilometers, Your Majesty."
Gregory III frowned slightly and opened a map. Now he is getting closer and closer to the location of Harvest Fort. If left alone, the opponent can reach there in at most two days.
The Empire itself is in the City of Holy Flame, and the Church of Light in the City of Light can strengthen its combat power.
According to intelligence, the opponent’s bonus to his own combat power would be much more terrifying than their two forces.
Even if it's just a small area and Harvest Fort, it's not the other side's main city.
"The Eighth Knights, launch a tentative charge."
The army of more than 16,000 knights and earth knights was divided into two thousand horses. After a short acceleration, under the command of the banner of the first giant whale, it slammed to the core of the army.
The originally scattered base-building soldiers squatted down on the spot after being slightly closed, forming a dense forest of iron spears to block them in front of the charging cavalry.
If the opponent still turns in front of the formation, they will continue to move forward in accordance with the established order.
"Holy Light protects the Lord's heroic knight!"
More than two hundred priests sang in unison, and the holy light fell on the charging knights, speeding up their speed and strength, speeding up their recovery of fighting spirit, and forming a holy light shield on their bodies.
The knight is worthy of being an ally dug out by the church, and the cooperation between the two is simply a perfect match. It is simply a violent thing to let the pastor as a professional charge as before.
"kill!"
This time the more than two thousand knights did not have the idea of ​​hiding in front of the position, and plunged straight into the dense formation of the base-building warrior battle formation in the light of the holy light.
Without any accident, the hundreds of base-building warriors with guns at the front end broke their spears, their bodies turned into blood under the horses' hoofs, and the corpses were hit hundreds of meters above the sky.
The splendid knights cut into the butter like a burning knife, trampling on a path of blood and mud. The barriers of the foundation-building warriors did not play a big role, and they soon penetrated hundreds of meters away and killed There are countless enemies.
At the same time, the divine consciousness of nearly fifty sky-rank experts descended on Zhao Shi and all the condensed realm cultivators around him. As long as they dared to take the lead in taking the lead in the lower-level knights, they would have a thunder blow.
