Chapter 666 672 Horse Runjia vs Centaur
Thinking of these questions, the Queen of Grey Elf couldn't help feeling agitated.
Before this, she had always been very confident, and felt that gathering hundreds of thousands of troops, five natural disaster-level powerhouses, including an ancient red dragon of the middle-level natural disaster, was enough to defeat the undead empire in the south.
But now, with the appearance of the fortress cannon, she suddenly felt that her confidence was not so full.
is not to say how powerful the three fortress cannons are, and the number of the three is not enough to completely change the situation of the battlefield.
It's just that the Queen of Grey Elf suddenly discovered that she actually didn't know the enemy in the south at all, how big the enemy's base was, how many troops, what weapons, how many natural disaster-level powerhouses, and what deadly weapons were there. Not sure, just relying on guesswork, I think there is a good chance of winning.
So, before that, she never thought about the possibility of failure, but now she can't help but have this question in her heart!
In case of failure, what should I do?
After being in a trance for a moment, the Grey Elf Queen immediately put down this depressing thought, her eyes flashing with determination and persistence: "Impossible! This time must not fail!"
As for the others, they all had their own ideas, but none of them rushed down to destroy the three fortress artillery immediately. This level of change was not worth their dispatch, and the opposite undead empire did not dispatch natural disaster-level powerhouses.
On the face of General James, seeing this scene, a faint smile appeared.
He was very satisfied with the power of the three fortress cannons delivered this time.
Almost at the same time, the second round of normal enchanted cannons had started, and they aimed directly at the three gaps.
Although on the side of the northern coalition, the mages were trying to re-support the magic barrier, but it was still a step too late. With the second salvo, hundreds of shells rained down on the three armies lacking the magic barrier. .
A green-skinned orc army, a lizardmen army, and an undead army were all destroyed.
"Boom boom boom..."
Intensive explosions were heard one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the army of 30,000 people was washed away by artillery fire. Except for some of the latter who saw the opportunity quickly and found something wrong, they turned around and ran immediately. Almost all the others were drowned in the artillery fire. Behind, a mage group was also scattered by the defeated soldiers, and many precious magicians were trampled to death.
The three ten-thousand-person legions disintegrated in a short period of time, causing a turbulence in the formation of the northern coalition army, especially the other legions nearby, who were all stunned when they saw the tragic scene.
This is completely different from what they imagined before they came!
Before that, the leader of their tribe had promoted that this time, hundreds of thousands of troops were dispatched, and five incomparably powerful natural disaster-level powerhouses were in town. The so-called undead empire in the south had no ability to resist at all. Credit is enough, and then you can return to the tribe with a large sum of money and food.
But reality hit them hard!
That kind of dense artillery fire, that kind of cannon with amazing power, although it did not fall on their heads, it filled their hearts with fear and tension.
Fortunately, at this moment, the sound of the battle drum of the Kodo beast came from the rear of the coalition army, which barely boosted morale and stabilized the morale of the army.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, just five minutes later, the fortress artillery roared again.
This time, the magic barrier with a width of 100 meters on three sides was torn apart, followed by the third round of enchanted cannon salvos, which once again crippled the three thousand thousand formations.
But this time, from the experience of the last time, the three magic barriers were blasted away by the thousands of people who found that the situation was not right, and immediately fled to the sides and the rear. The loss was much smaller than last time, with less than 3,000 casualties.
However, the chaos caused this time is even greater in comparison, because the collapse of the legions of the three gaps directly caused the stagnation and chaos of nearly 100,000 people.
Although order was quickly restored under the suppression of the strong, the blow to the morale was too great, and the originally strict army formation became messy.
Seeing this, the five natural disasters who were overlooking the battlefield from the air all frowned.
Originally, they thought they would win the battle with the regular troops, but they didn't expect it to be like this from the beginning. If this continues, I am afraid that the northern coalition will lose their temper first before the two sides face each other.
"Send cavalry to attack!" Emperor Tuttle suddenly suggested: "We are at a disadvantage in long-range weapons, and we must make changes, otherwise this battle will not be fought."
Emperor Tuttle, as the king of the last civilization era, is also a commander above the standard, and his grasp of the battlefield situation is higher than that of other people.
The troll lord nodded silently, apparently agreeing with the idea of Tuttle the Great.
The Queen of Grey Elf glanced at the ancient red dragon Smedlitava, and seeing that he had not raised any objections, she nodded slightly and said, "Well, let the cavalry charge and see how the opponent responds."
Having said that, the Queen of Grey Elf gave an order to the following, and passed the information through magic, and the centaur who was hiding on the flank soon received the order.
The leader of the Centaur frowned. It seemed that his previous plan was different. However, the military orders on the battlefield were like mountains, and the opponent was a strong natural disaster, so he did not dare to disobey.
let out a long howl, and immediately tens of thousands of centaurs stood up, leaped out, and ran wildly.
While running fast, he took out enchanted bows and arrows one after another, preparing to throw a long-range projectile at the enemy's flank.
With the running speed of centaurs and the range of enchanted bows and arrows, these centaurs can shoot powerful projectiles from five kilometers away, but such projectiles are not accurate at all, and can only shoot indiscriminately in the general direction.
Behind the centaur legion is a human heavy knight legion, a warhorse with demonic blood, carefully selected knights, well-equipped with lances, and rushed out of the jungle with the centaur legion, ready to fight in the centaur After the bow and arrow were thrown, it directly hit the flank of the undead empire.
This army was something that General James had not seen before, but it didn't matter.
As a veteran, James has long anticipated all kinds of uncontrollable situations, and he is also mentally prepared.
"Can't help but send out the hidden cavalry at last?" The corner of General James's mouth was upturned. Through the soul link of the Great Ape King, he knew the accurate battlefield information the first time the enemy cavalry appeared.
This open-map battlefield is simply a simple difficulty of playing real-time strategy games for a veteran like General James.
Even with the appearance of the Human Knights, there is no fundamental change.
"Let the Horse Run Armored Legion prepare to attack directly." General James said lightly: "I believe that the battle data of the head-on confrontation with the Centaur Legion and the Heavy Armored Knights will make your Majesty very satisfied."
With the order of General James, the 10,000 horse-run armors that had been on standby behind the line of defense began to turn on the steam-powered core at full power, and a cloud of white smoke rose up, followed by the violent movement of the steam-powered.
At this time, the commander of the Ma Runjia Corps is the intelligence of the No. 2 alchemy computer on the Great Ape King—the Red Queen!
According to the situation on the battlefield, the Red Queen has formulated hundreds of predetermined plans, and formed a tree diagram, what kind of situation occurs, what method to take, and at the same time, the order has been reached to every Ma Runjia battle group.
"Execute the first plan, go!" The Red Queen was in the engine room of the Great Ape King. Although no one else could hear her, she still read out every command and conveyed it through the Soul Link network.
The activation of the Ma Runjia Legion immediately alerted the five natural disaster-level powerhouses watching the battle, and their gazes all turned to the direction of the rising white smoke.
"Have those tin men been dispatched? Judging by their position, they should be the ace troops of the undead empire!" The Queen of Grey Elf thought to herself: "Do they want to use these tin men to deal with centaurs and heavy knights? They will take What measures? To build a new line of defense from the flanks? Or to establish simple fire points through these tin men..."
Alexia thought of many ways, but she didn't expect that as soon as the Ma Runjia Army came out, she launched the air cushion sliding mode and rushed towards the centaur at full speed.
"Huh? What are they going to do?" Alexia looked down unexpectedly. Although the horse run armor was wrapped in thick armor, she firmly believed that the enchanted bow and arrow of the centaur could still shoot through the armor of these tin men.
And in her concept, the infantry confronts the cavalry head-on, and there is no way to win since ancient times.
Although centaurs are not pure cavalry, they are more powerful than cavalry in the general sense, and Ma Runjia's body is similar to that of orc warriors, with a height of two to five to three meters. In the concept of the Queen of Grey Elf, it is still classified as infantry ranks.
It was just the speed at which Ma Runjia moved, which surprised her. On a rough battlefield, at 150 kilometers per hour, this speed was no less than that of a warhorse with the blood of a demon beast. It was more agile, light, and good at running. The centaur is only slightly inferior.
"Raise your bow~~~" The centaur legion saw a cloud of white smoke billowing from the opposite side, and countless tin men rushed out from under the smoke.
Although I have never seen such an enemy before, the centaurs don’t care so much. In their concept, no matter what the enemy is, whether they can fly or not, what equipment they wear, and those with high running speed, just shoot them. It's over.
"Disperse the formation, implement the 4A tactics, and attack freely." The Red Queen gave the order.
Without waiting for the centaur to shoot the arrows, the tens of thousands of horses and armored groups of five suddenly scattered into a large area, leaving more space between them, making the centaur's projectile attack more effective with less effort.
