The horse hoofs shaking the earth sounded, and the ferocious and murderous heavy centaurs trampled over the grassland like a "steel wall", and the rolled up smoke and roar was like the most dull thunder.
Overwhelming, powerful!
Despite his disdain, Archduke Laszlo Varna''s eyes were still unprecedentedly dignified. His eyes stared at the torrent of steel rushing towards the Boyi army, almost breaking his steel teeth.
Yes, these rude and stupid Centaur barbarians didn''t rush up in a scattered and disorderly way as they used to; Instead, they formed a knight formation similar to the Byrne people and charged with a thin and dense "front" - the level and power are not the same.
The difference between the two is no less than the gap between the rebel mob and the Empire!
Although the team is still incomplete, although there is a great gap with the real Byrne "wall charging"... But if they are allowed to complete the charging, the 100000 Boyi army will break up and be torn apart in an instant.
So never let them finish the charge... Let them dry their blood before they jump on it.
Hooves roared and the earth trembled.
The enemy troops had come out and began to trot forward to the battlefield; The whole 10000 heavily loaded centaurs, with their bright silver armor, were dazzling under the bright sun of the dome, which made people dare not look directly at them.
"Infantry - array preparation -!!!"
Under the hoarse command of centurions, the 40000 infantry phalanx of the Boyi people immediately turned from advance to defense; With the beat of a drum, the infantry formed a tight phalanx of long guns on the open grass.
The Principality of Boyi in the great green sea is the world of horseback people, so it is also born to pay little attention to infantry; It was not until they became loyal to the empire that they referred to the army infantry of the saklan people and formed a square array infantry dominated by spears and Zheng shields.
These infantry are heavy and dull on the grassland. They can only show some effect when guarding the city - but for the charging cavalry, the dense long gun array is still enough to kill them!
The thin square infantry struggled to set up the shield, and the sharp heavy spears stretched out from the gun rack of the shield. They shouted impassioned and ready to fight the Centaur.
On the roaring earth, the heavy centaurs had rushed across the center line of the battlefield, and rushed fiercely towards the long gun array marching on the drum.
Confrontation, only in an instant!
Staring at the front of the battlefield, Archduke Varna under the machete horse aroused a sneer, and the Sensen white teeth exposed at the corners of his mouth looked murderous.
At this time, the right wing of the Boyi army on the battlefield suddenly sounded a loud bugle!
Archduke Varna''s pupils narrowed and his hands clenched the handle of the knife trembled with excitement.
Accompanied by the bugle sounded was the roar of the iron cavalry like the wind, and countless shouts of killing; Boyi Hussars appeared like ghosts and suddenly rushed into the middle of the battlefield without any omen.
No... actually, there were. They were only "blocked" by the Hussars attacking on both wings and the advancing long gun array - they didn''t kill out suddenly until the enemy''s trump card appeared.
As for the 10000 Hussars hanged with the enemy, they are their bunkers and camouflages... Archduke Varna, who has been fighting for decades, how can he do the stupid thing of using 10000 cavalry without losing money?
It''s a pile of corpses, dead people; We should also use their dead hair to wield the greatest value and pave the blood road to final victory with their flesh and blood!
In the face of the Hussars suddenly killed, the elite heavy centaurs were obviously unprepared; In panic, he had to slow down, raise his shield, and prepare to meet the enemies on both wings while charging.
On the slightly shaking earth, the suddenly killed Hussars rushed faster and faster, and instantly divided into two, one before and one after, broke into the army line of the heavy centaurs. While galloping, they didn''t forget to raise their bow and spear, and shot deadly arrows one after another.
Bow and arrow attack and saber harvest are the inherent fighting methods of horseback people!
One after another, the arrows continued to sink into the Centaur array, and most of them were blocked by the tower shield in the hands of the heavy Centaur; However, the speed and agility of the elite Centaur in heavy armor are much slower than the original, and it is impossible to escape the arrow rain from the front and back attack.
With a sound of curses and screams, centaurs fell on the road of charge; The heavy armor made them fall and cut off their heads before they could get up.
"Rush over, rush over, kill all these two legged people!!!!!"
I don''t know which Centaur roared, but then all the heavy centaurs began to roar, raise their iron hooves, speed up the charge, and turn a blind eye to the Hussars attacked by the two wings.
The Hussars who couldn''t stop had no way. They pulled out their sabres and rushed directly up to meet the charged heavy centaur.
"Blood for blood --!!"
The Hussars in the front row collided directly with the heavy centaurs.
At the next moment, the lines of the Hussars were torn to pieces!
In a terrible crash, the sabres of the Hussars were meaningless in front of the armor of the heavy centaurs. They could only be pierced in the chest by the halberd and smashed their heads and shoulders;
Screaming, like sandbags, people and horses were bumped by shields, and then trampled by roaring cavalry to make meat mud.
The hussars, who looked at death as if they were returning to their homeland, were still launching a barrage; Like the waves on the reef, they were smashed one after another, and then submerged under countless horseshoes.
But the smile on Laszlo Varna''s face did not decrease, even more excited.
The elite Centaur in heavy armor is undoubtedly the opponent''s biggest trump card, and now... This trump card can no longer go back, and is destined to be buried here.
"Infantry - charge -!!!"
Before the heavy centaurs who were desperately blocked by Hussars could get away, they saw the long gun array opposite them begin to move; With heavy steps, nearly 10000 square infantry charged from 50 steps away and hanged with the enemy.
In an instant, the charged heavy centaurs immediately fell into the embarrassing situation of being surrounded by infantry and even anti charging.
Some centaurs were pierced by charging square infantry; Others were surrounded by several Hussars one after another, and were shot through their heads by close faced bows and arrows; Some Hussars simply dismounted, rolled around in the chaotic battlefield, and pierced the Centaur''s body with a saber from below until they were trampled into meat sauce by the horse''s hooves.
Although in front of the heavily armed centaurs, the square infantry with only shields and spears are extremely vulnerable; Although the infantry who rushed into the front had no fighting power like the hussars, although the violent centaurs could tear their front apart
But the whole 10000 heavy centaurs never had a chance to defeat the whole Boyi army in one blow!
Looking at the fierce scuffle in front of him, Harlem van achamay, a member of the army, suddenly brightened his eyes and turned to the Duke next to him:
"Cavalry raid, infantry advance, this is... Byrne tactics?"
"Of course it''s Byrne''s tactics!"
Laszlo Varna''s voice was incomparably vigorous and powerful: "when the black Duke crossed the green sea, I was a servant behind his ass; I saw with my own eyes how Byrne''s knights and infantry came and killed all the Centaurs."
"The scene of that year was even more heroic than that of today!"
It seems that the old man couldn''t help but recall the past scenes. The old man''s vision was a little trance, but he couldn''t help humming coldly: "besides... Is it only allowed that smelly Duke Byrne to learn the Boyi''s ability to fight the enemy, so I''m not allowed to get something back from them?"
With his mouth closed, master asamai couldn''t help laughing.
"The front is pushed too far forward. Let the cavalry cover and the infantry withdraw a little."
Archduke Varna said in a deep voice, "the enemy''s biggest trump card is gone, and it is impossible to tear up our front any more. If the battlefield is too close, it will be bad for us."
"Yes!"
Looking at Halin van achmai turning away, Laszlo Varna raised his head and stared at the opposite side.
Without the biggest trump card, Centaur Khan
What will he do next?!
…………………………………
"Have you figured out... What''s the next step?"
Brandon heard his father''s dignified and indifferent voice.
His royal highness, who clenched his lower lip, stared. The chess piece in his hand wanted to break it.
Everything was expected, or in other words, everything was expected by the great lord Eckhardt II.
The original hope was to use the chariot to open the situation, force the white chess to enter the defensive state, so that they could win the opportunity to expand their occupation and chew off the Knights of the white chess at the same time. As a result
Looking at the two black chess chariots in his father''s hand, Brandon suddenly realized how arduous the dilemma he was facing.
I was calculated again... I was completely calculated.
Sweating like rain, Brandon felt dry and out of breath in a trance.
No... wait, No.
You can''t lose,
It''s over if you lose. It''s all over.
Even if you pretend to be calm, you should be calm until the last minute.
The supreme emperor of the great empire for twelve generations, his majesty Eckhardt II, will not deceive... The seal minister metney Leopold must be standing outside the door.
When he knocks on the door and comes in, the game is over... Everything is over.
Before that, I must find a turning point in the chess game!
How, how can we make
"How can we turn white chess into defense?"
The voice of indifferent words made Brandon suddenly look up; He saw Eckhardt II staring at him calmly, with a trace of disappointment in his red pupils:
"This is your limit, and this is the best tactic you can think of? Brandon de sallion, a smart boy, thinks he has intelligence beyond ordinary people... In the end, his way of thinking is no different from ordinary people."
With a tight mouth and a forced smile, Brandon said nothing.
He needs time to think, but what he lacks most now is time.
"There are always mediocre people who think that they can find the true meaning of war from the chessboard... Their imagination is limited by the intuitive things in front of them, which is the first condition for them to become mediocre." his majesty whispered:
"In the chess game, we are outside the chessboard, but we are limited to 64 black and white squares, manipulating 32 pieces to compete between players.
We don''t need to care about the idea of chess pieces. They will never replace us, let alone become our enemies; even if a wargame is upgraded, it doesn''t mean anything; even if we eat the king''s chess, it can''t cause any harm to us.
So... Sense of substitution? That''s the child''s idea - to compete on the chessboard, we must not limit our thinking to the chessboard, but should be detached from the chessboard. "
Looking at Brandon''s changing expression, his majesty repeated the question again:
"Have you figured out... What''s the next step?"
"Yes, father, I think so."
Gradually fade away the smile, Brandon''s expression unprecedented heavy, slowly raised his right hand.
He gently picked up a wargame, lifted it gracefully, carefully placed it next to the white knight, and then
"Pa -!!"
……………………
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise like thunder... The whole world trembled in this sound!
At this moment, hussars, phalanx infantry... Boyi and even centaurs all raised their heads and looked up at the dome with frightened eyes.
In their pupils, a burning sky is reflected.
It was golden red and ignited the whole world. It was as bright as a meteor.
And the next second, the fire rain falling from the sky has roared down on their heads!
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
The wailing spread all over the wilderness, and the screams came one after another.
On the vast grassland, countless soldiers who were still fighting each other were instantly swallowed up by the dazzling golden red light, together with the splashing sand and the scorched and torn fragments of their bodies, melted into the hot air wave and spread around.
Live, dead... As long as it is shrouded in the flame falling from the sky, it will disappear in an instant.
I don''t even have a chance to escape!
"Duke --!!!"
Seth braha looked at the burning battlefield in amazement and quickly turned his head to say something to Archduke Varna.
"Shut up! You don''t think I have eyes, do you? I''ve seen it!"
The furious Laszlo Varna gnashed his teeth and broke braha. His anger twisted his cheeks to the extreme, and even wanted to jump directly and tear the half man Martha Khan''s face to pieces!
The half man, Ma Da Khan, the barbarian
"He really dares to bombard the battlefield with a catapult... Regardless of his own life and death -?!"
