Chapter 864

"Don't you think the other side just wants us to think so? Imagine that our four armies completely surround the whole empire, and the pressure on either side is not small, but they want to reduce the number of defenders on the side of the Nancheng wall, which is not normal at all. What I can think of is that long Ao wants us to attack in that direction, and the more so, the more we can't let him succeed "Bai Xiaohei explained very seriously.

Hearing Bai Xiaohei's words, everyone nodded. Indeed, as long as the other party is not stupid, they should evenly distribute their troops to the wall of the whole imperial capital. It is obviously abnormal to deliberately weaken the troops of a section of the wall. If you think about it carefully, you can understand that this must be a trap.

Understanding what Bai Xiaohei meant, the marshal of ChiYan Empire asked, "which wall do Marshal Bai think we should attack?"

Bai Xiaohei didn't answer the question immediately when he heard the marshal of ChiYan Empire, but pondered for a while. Then he bowed his head and began to study the map under his feet. When the others saw that Bai Xiaohei was thinking about the problem, they didn't dare to ask anything again, so they stood by and waited for Bai Xiaohei's instructions.

About three or four minutes later, Bai Xiaohei raised his head and looked at the people again. Then he patted the east city wall with his claws and said: "Although the enemy's preparation seems to have little difference, there are still some differences. Compared with the defenders of the other three walls, the east wall is more. Obviously, long Ao is not very confident here. Since he will be nervous here, we will fight here. I want to see what's wrong with this section of the wall!"

As the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, Bai Xiaohei's words were orders. Therefore, after Bai Xiaohei determined the attack target, the army began to prepare. Because it only attacked a wall unilaterally, dozens of troops surrounded the imperial capital, and only the 200000 people in the East moved.

Under the command of Bai Xiaohei, the 200000 troops form a very strange formation. According to the habit of large-scale siege in animal kingdom countries, the siege troops generally form a square array of 10000 people, and then several arrays attack at the same time.

However, the formation that Bai Xiaohei asked the soldiers to arrange was not a square, but an equilateral triangle. The four equilateral triangle infantry regiments stood neatly on the plain in front of the wall to the east of the imperial capital of the Dragon God Empire, each of which seemed to be an arrow.

Bai Xiaohei was lying on Long Xin's shoulder, while long Xin was riding a white horse. Next to him were other generals. The marshal of ChiYan empire was obviously curious about Bai Xiaohei's policy, so he turned and asked: "Marshal, we are now attacking the city. This arrow formation is suitable for the attack and defense of the two armies in the plain area. It is not suitable for attacking the city. Is it inappropriate for you to arrange the formation like this?"

"... what would the defensive side do in a normal siege?" Bai Xiaohei didn't answer. Instead, he turned to look at the marshal of the ChiYan Empire and asked.

"When our army approaches the city wall, they will use bows and arrows to stop us from approaching, and then they will use rolling wood, Thunder Stone or hot oil to stop us under the city wall." the marshal of ChiYan empire is also a veteran general. Of course, he knows the mode of siege.

"You're curious why I need to arrange troops like this, aren't you? I tell you, the triangle formation is not only used to break through each other's formation in the plain war, but also plays a great role in the siege war. First of all, the sharpness of the triangle formation is up to one or three people, so the area will be very small. When the enemy on the wall blocks us with bows and arrows, the triangle formation will be very sharp The force bearing area of the formation is smaller, and the action is faster. Another point is that if the enemy uses a wide range of lethal weapons, the triangular formation can immediately change the direction. Each of the three corners can be used as the front row. After attacking under the city wall, the opponent will have fewer rolling wood and thunder targets, so that our losses will be minimized. " Bai Xiaohei explained briefly.

Hearing Bai Xiaohei's explanation, everyone showed an expression of enlightenment. Yes! This is actually the most basic common sense, but the wars of the five kingdoms in the beast Kingdom have not changed much for thousands of years. No one even thought of trying to attack the city with a triangular array.

Up to this time, people's admiration for Bai Xiaohei can't be described in words. The cat is really powerful!

With the rhythmic roar of war drums, the three infantry triangular arrays under the city wall began to move towards the city wall, and the defenders on the city wall saw that the coalition army launched an attack, quickly sent the archers to the front and blocked the approach of the army with bows and arrows.

When the rain of arrows fell, the soldiers of the United Army took out not the leather shields commonly used in the war in the animal kingdom, but pulled out a handful of iron bone umbrellas with strange shapes from the back. The skeletons of these umbrellas were all pig iron, and the umbrella surface was sewn with sun dried cooked cow leather. There were a large number of metal armor pieces on the cooked cow leather, forming a special metal layer on the umbrella surface.

When the bow and arrow fell, all the iron bone umbrellas were supported. The coverage area of the umbrella surface was much larger than that of an ordinary leather shield. Each umbrella could cover about five people, so the number of such iron bone umbrellas was not much. Only one person in five soldiers was equipped with this iron bone umbrella.

The banging sound came out. Countless bows and arrows hit the iron umbrella, and those streamlined iron umbrella made these bows and arrows unable to bear force at all. All bows and arrows slid down the umbrella surface of the iron umbrella and could not hurt anyone at all.

On the wall, they were stunned to see the strange defense system of the coalition forces below. The archers shot four batches of bows and arrows in a row, totaling 40000, but they didn't even kill an enemy. This is really too rare. At least they saw someone holding an umbrella on the battlefield for the first time.

The general in charge of commanding the archers finally reacted after a brief stupor, and then gave a loud order: "attack them with oil bottle arrows and burn them!"

At the command of the general, the archers immediately pulled out the arrows with oil bottles from the arrow pot, and then began to shoot at the bottom.

Seeing these bows and arrows with oil bottles shot down in the distance, the soldiers of the three triangular formations below all stopped, and then the soldiers holding the iron umbrella began to rotate the iron umbrella.

When the oil bottle arrow hit the iron umbrella, some were broken, but some were not broken. Because of the rotation of the iron umbrella, the force on these oil bottles was not uniform, so many of them were directly thrown out. Even if the oil bottle was broken, the oil inside was thrown out by the high-speed rotating iron umbrella before it was splashed.

Looking at this scene from a distance, everyone looks different. Many people didn't understand when Bai Xiaohei asked people to build an iron umbrella. Now they finally figured out that the role of Bai Xiaohei's iron umbrella is too great. Maybe after this war, the iron umbrella will replace the conventional shield.

Bai Xiaohei looked at the battlefield with a smile. Then he whispered with a smile: "deal with me with the rest of my tricks? Are you too naive?"
