If I let you farm, will you become the emperor of the empire?

Chapter 254 Your casualties are irreversible, my soldiers are endless.jpg

The director of this scene is Roman.

The main characters are 11 witches.

The supporting characters are 500 heavy infantrymen in plate armor.

The scene was chosen in the military camp.

The props are cold weapons.

…

Outdoor scene - morning.

The witches attacked the heavy infantry phalanx for no reason and were hit by a rain of arrows.

The witches followed behind Gwen, advancing quickly and all of them were unharmed.

The heavy infantrymen all threw away their longbows and started close combat.

The witches collectively released a mental shock at a distance of ten meters.

The thinking of more than fifty front-line spearmen was interrupted for one or two seconds.

Shasta rolled on the ground, cut off the ankles of the five soldiers in the first row, and opened a gap in the phalanx.

Mabel released a fan-shaped flame, which was blocked by the flesh wall and could only cover a radius of three meters. More than ten soldiers lost their resistance on the spot.

The soldiers on both sides launched an attack at this time.

Lucia released a dark spell, and the area with a diameter of about 50 meters entered the night.

The soldiers were well-trained and launched the attack based on their feelings.

The witches released an energy shock spell, knocking down about 40 to 50 soldiers, and a quarter of them died on the spot.

The remaining soldiers climbed up and stabbed with spears. The witches had nowhere to hide.

Brenna, Zelda, and Lucia died on the spot. The night domain was lifted.

Edith and Xia Lulu were injured. Lusa distributed life energy to them to maintain their mobility.

Mabel used the power of agate to create a fire domain with a diameter of more than ten meters, and the soldiers in it suffered heavy casualties.

The phalanx was completely disintegrated. Four hundred soldiers dispersed and surrounded the witches.

Shasta released black smoke and killed a lot of people, but Green stopped her. Green was killed by the Nightmare Witch with a ghost dagger.

Shasta was attacked from behind by Jet, and one arm was pierced by a rapier. Dick rushed forward and was killed by Shasta after two rounds. Jet stabbed Shasta's internal organs again. The Nightmare Witch released thicker smoke and fled with serious injuries.

Monica's power was transmitted from the void. Jet, who was not wearing plate armor, was hit by an invisible heavy hammer and died with a broken sternum.

Nathan was fully armored and attacked from the front. He swung four axes and killed the witch Saya.

Gwen rushed over and knocked Nathan down, and died in the chaos of swords.

Mabel, who was exhausted, Edith and Xia Lulu, who were injured, and Monica, who was not injured, were surrounded by four witches. They killed more than ten soldiers and finally died in the chaos.

Shasta escaped the encirclement and died in the wild due to serious injuries.

...

The result of this war is only a very low possibility.

Because witches can't charge.

They have a very high initiative. Once they get into the deep mountains and forests, the army will be helpless.

If they had used guerrilla warfare, they would have achieved greater results and would not have been completely wiped out.

However, even if the witches understood the concept of guerrilla warfare, whether they could use it well was another matter. After all, everything had to be implemented in practice.

So far, 11 witches have charged head-on, causing about 100 casualties.

The main reason for the heavy casualties of the army is that they were in disarray. They felt very unfamiliar with the unfamiliar enemy and were very uncomfortable with the fighting style. Once they adapted, they could at least reduce casualties by half.

Although it was a bit troublesome for the witches to kill the plate-armored infantry, they could still kill them.

But if they were replaced by plate-armored cavalry, they would have been helpless.

The mobility of the cavalry was too strong.

And Roman also realized the problem of the witches.

They...

They seriously lacked the ability to fight head-on!

...

The combat effectiveness of extraordinary units depends on many aspects.

Rank, equipment, and number are all decisive factors.

Roman once believed that 100 first-level knights could replace 1 ninth-level knight.

Although this theory is a bit too theoretical, it only considers the difference in quantity and does not consider other factors.

But it makes sense in the end.

Extraordinary units are very special and have very strong personal abilities. But as long as they are creatures on land, how special can they be?

A set of fine gold armor for a paladin weighs three to five hundred kilograms, and the fine gold sword can cut iron like mud and split mountains and rocks.

Of course, the price of armor is also thousands of times that of ordinary plate armor.

How many first-level knights can be trained with the resources to train a paladin?

The basic conditions for fighting beasts are: both sides have war horses, plate armor, and all kinds of weapons are complete.

With this calculation, let alone paladins, even ninth-level knights have no advantage.

Once the two sides start fighting, 100 first-level knights will disperse on the spot and form an encirclement.

The ninth-level knight rushes over, kills ten people with three punches and two kicks, and the remaining ninety people will ride and shoot at you.

The ninth-level knight rushed over again and killed ten more people, and the remaining eighty people rode and shot at you...

Even at the end, the last ten people would hold their lances and charge at you at full speed.

What kind of physique can you withstand such an attack?

When you kill all 100 first-level knights, how many arrows are stuck in your body? How much physical strength do you have?

I'm afraid you have been exhausted.

The 101st first-level knight rushing over can chop off your head!

No matter how good a high-level knight is at fighting, it's useless!

To get involved, you have to rely on power!

No matter how strong your personal ability is, facing the war machine composed of thousands of professional soldiers, how much effect can a high-level knight play?

If it is really the ninth-level knight in full-body gold armor.

Then Roman will choose to develop more destructive weapons, train more elite troops, and provide better equipment.

There is always a way to deal with it.

The ninth-level knight is wearing hundreds of kilograms of high-standard armor and charging on the battlefield, so can I use 500 lives to hold him back? If not, then I will change it to a thousand plate armor cans.

Your casualties are irreversible, and my soldiers are endless.jpg

…

The main problem of witches is that they rushed forward in cloth clothes when facing the army…

This is a huge problem!

The logic of war in the cold weapon era: to increase defense, you have to increase the weight.

If you wear hundreds of kilograms of armor on your body, basically no one can hit you. You are completely a human tank.

The explanation for witches not wearing armor is to improve mobility.

Roman has to admit that this reason is very sufficient.

Witches are obviously good at mobile warfare, surprise warfare, and blitzkrieg.

Once faced with a siege, positional battle, or war of attrition, they really can't fight at all.

If you let them wear armor, it means they will slow down.

Imagine that the witches are wearing fifty kilograms of armor, not as light as a swallow, but climbing up the six or seven-meter-high wall with great effort, and they may not be able to climb up. Once they are caught in a fierce battle...

That scene is really unbearable to watch.

As for why they have fallen to this point.

Roman thinks that it is entirely because they have no auxiliary troops.

The knights of war all have auxiliary troops, and the real name of the auxiliary troops is called the conscripted troops.

The prestige of the knights of war among the people is at the level of nobles.

The conscripted troops and the knights of war complement each other and are indispensable.

The only thing that Roman couldn't understand in the Spring Rain Battle was that he cut off most of the auxiliary troops of the anti-rebel army. The latter still firmly believed that they could win and launched a suicide charge.

So the more than 3,000 conscripted troops persisted to the middle of the battlefield.

It was not until all the knights rushed in and no one came out, and they were all trapped, that they chose to surrender, and their morale was exaggerated.

But the witches did not have this condition, because they only had infamy.
