Chapter 179 Field Fortifications
Chapter 179 Field Fortifications
"Lord Lothar!"
"The Chinese army has appeared in the narrow passage ahead! There are about 4,000 of them!"
"The vanguard riders have sent a message. Do you want to attack directly?"
Listening to his men's reports, Lothar, who was in the center of the army, frowned.
"Aurora Army? Appearing at this location?"
"Yes, there is a sunken mound ahead, and the enemy has built fortifications on the flat ground."
"What kind of fortifications?"
"The wooden fences are scattered and nailed to the ground. Some of them have chevaux de frise in the middle, making it difficult for our cavalry to charge..." the messenger answered based on his memory. "But some of the wooden fences are hollow, and only the Aurora soldiers are guarding them with shields..."
"I see." Lothar showed a cruel smile, "It seems that they didn't have enough time to complete the fortifications, so there are loopholes."
"Follow my orders, have the raider riders attack only those weak spots without barricades!"
"Wait for our main team to arrive, and then annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop!"
Lothar gave the order in a deep voice.
"This Zhendan army is too arrogant. They dare to stop us with less than 5,000 people."
"Humph, when their skulls are smashed by the trolls, they will regret it so much that their intestines will turn green."
"Of course it will be so. The Zhendan army always relies on the city walls for defense. When has it ever dared to fight us in the field?"
"In my opinion, they will probably pee their pants when the trolls show up. After all, our trolls are seven or eight times more numerous than Moxia's men..."
Listening to the arrogant words of his men, Lothar did not stop them.
He closed his eyes and recalled the obscure whispers in his mind.
Although it was difficult to fully understand, he could feel that the other party was asking him to attack the Zhendan army.
A tall figure knelt in front of him, and further away was the shattered Chinese army.
There were corpses everywhere, no one was spared.
This is God's prophecy...
Reveals the final outcome of both.
There is no doubt that Losa won.
"Such a wonderful prophecy..." Lothar showed an arrogant smile, "I wonder which evil god has taken a fancy to me and wants to give me such help."
"If I can fulfill the prophecy, won't I be blessed?"
"It seems that I was born to conquer. I will lead the Kazag War Gang to be invincible and become the only king outside Changyuan!"
The growing desire to conquer occupied Lothar's mind.
But he does have the capital to do so.
Before he founded the warband called Kazag, his fighting skills seemed to be blessed by God and he never lost once.
At this time, he was in his prime, full of ambitions, and he already felt that he was invincible!
the other side.
"The Marauder Riders are coming!"
"Be careful with the spears! Get behind the fence!"
The number of Marauder Riders has reached a terrifying level.
Their figures as they rode were like layers of waves, rising and falling.
A black wave crashed into the fortifications of the Yongchang Army, followed by another wave.
Their superb riding skills allowed them to easily dodge the attacks of Yuyong's spears, but they had no way to deal with the attacks of Yuyong's crossbowmen.
However, they are not completely without any countermeasures.
Dense javelins flew over a distance of dozens of meters, drew a parabola in the air and fell into the fortifications of the Yongchang Army.
The short and thick javelin broke through the armor and pierced into Yu Yong's flesh and blood.
At the same time, more than ten Yu Yong were killed by the javelins, even though there was a wooden fence as a cover!
"Keep the pace! Jade Warrior crossbowmen counterattack immediately!"
"No need to wait for orders!"
"All free to shoot!"
The war between the two sides is like a turn-based game.
When the Marauder Riders attack, the Jade Warriors will retreat into cover.
After a round of javelin firing was completed, they would run out of cover and shoot crossbow arrows from behind the chevaux de frise.
Although the operation is troublesome, the benefits are obvious.
In just half an hour, the number of raider riders had dropped by several hundred.
Although it is insignificant compared to the total number of Marauder Riders, as long as this continues, the Yongchang Army will be able to destroy the enemy's mobile forces with minimal casualties.
"Be ready to clear the way! Lead them into the fortifications!"
"As ordered!"
The fortifications where the Yongchang Army was located were not just for simple defensive purposes.
If we only look at the city wall, it may be full of loopholes.
But once you enter, you will find that wooden fences have blocked other roads, leaving only a narrow path for passage.
If you want to force your way in.
What greeted them were the chevaux de frise nailed to the ground, and the spears and crossbow arrows that had been waiting for a long time.
This is a standard field fortification, capable of both offense and defense.
Until now, no one had realized that this blow to the Marauder riders was more deadly than a crossbow bolt.
“I see a gap!”
"The gap has opened!"
"Let's rush in! Kill them all!"
When the raider riders saw Yu Yong making way, they rushed into their formation along the gap without any hesitation.
But once they entered it, they regretted it.
The wooden fences and chevaux de frise made it impossible for them to turn, so they could only rush inward along the road.
At this time, Yu Yong had already raised his spear and stabbed at them.
"It's a trap! Back off quickly!"
"Don't push in anymore!"
They screamed in panic, but found that they could not go back the same way.
The plunderer riders who were unaware of the situation kept rushing in, and the people in the front were almost being pushed forward.
The already narrow passage became more and more crowded, and Yu Yong thrust out his spear faster and faster.
the other side.
Right wing.
“Don’t back off!”
"Follow me and kill them right away!"
Liu Li roared, raised his weapon and cut the raider rider in front of him in two.
Behind him was the End War Regiment standing in front of the fortifications.
Instead of retreating behind their fortifications, they lined up in front, attracting the Marauder riders to charge at them.
At first, they were a little scared.
But when he saw Liu Li charging forward alone, holding a saber-like weapon, chopping people and horses into pieces.
Their fear turned into a strong desire to fight.
“Why is he so fierce…” An Luming’s face turned pale.
Rather than fighting in battle with Liu Li, he would rather stay behind the wooden fence, at least it wouldn't be too dangerous.
Liu Li and the End Battle Group are having a great time killing.
The fighting spirit was so high that even the Yongchang Army behind them showed shocked expressions.
This group of Norsemen, armed with long spears and bare-chested, killed people everywhere under the leadership of Liu Li.
As long as the Marauder Riders don't charge in groups, they can't be defeated.
"Fight for honor!"
"Let the blood of the enemy water the earth!"
"For the Chapter Master!"
"The End is invincible!"
"The End Regiment is invincible!"
On the eastern grassland, this group of strong men roared excitedly.
They stared at the burly figure in the front, their eyes gradually becoming fanatical.
