Lord of War

183. Containment and Counterattack

The war broke out without any suspense.

The clever wolf no longer attacked Sean or Rena alone, but retreated back into the army immediately.

The fourth-level elite troops can easily annihilate a third-level regular army in terms of combat effectiveness, but this is when the strength of the troops is the same and the level of the commanders is not far behind. Like the 2,000-strong regular army that Xiao En and the others are now facing, unless it is Rui Na's force or the full 500 men, it is still possible to defeat the opponent, but it is absolutely impossible now.

Not to mention, the combat effectiveness of Reina's current light cavalry unit will be weakened by more than half. After all, the drinking water of all the cavalry was used to share with Cecilia's guards, which made these horses a little weak now. .

"Rina, use the command halo!" Xiao En shouted immediately when he saw the opponent's army move immediately.

But it was Rena's blank expression that responded to Sean: "Command halo? What is that?"

Hearing Rena's words, Sean was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that reality and games are two completely different worlds!

In the game, the use of skills by players is confirmed through skill commands. Basically, they can be cast immediately with a slight movement of the mind. For real master players, multiple skill combinations can even be displayed in an instant. But this situation is absolutely impossible in reality, not to mention the various stiff times caused by powerful skills, even the connection and use of skills need to consider the physical endurance.

Sean also used skills such as sprinting to stop before causing injuries to the internal organs of the body.

Of course, the most important thing is that halo-type skills do not exist in this world!

Sean can find out through the eyes of reality that Reina does have aura skills, but such skills do not exist in Rena's personal subjective consciousness. That is. For Sean, the so-called halo skills, for Rena, it's just a slogan to boost morale.

Thinking of this, Sean opened his mouth and immediately shouted: "Just like the charge slogan you launched that night!"

Rina was taken aback for a moment, but then she came to her senses. In her opinion. This kind of shouting can really make the blood in her body more boiling, not only can she concentrate her attention, but her combat effectiveness will also be improved. The biggest advantage is that the cavalry under her command will become desperate. This is extremely beneficial in combat.

Rina didn't know any halo skills, so she simply thought that Xiao En asked her to shout slogans to boost the morale of the entire army. In the current situation, it is indeed the only way to improve the morale of the entire army, because they really have no way out.

"For honor!" Rina yelled, raising her gun.

The war horse under his crotch raised its front feet like flying, and the man stood up, and the neighing sound of the war horse resounded through the clouds.

"For honor!" all the cavalry shouted in response.

The blood in the body began to boil.

Sean's gaze began to become steady. Although there were nearly a hundred infantrymen in the team, there were actually less than fifty people who could actually fight. Nearly half of the others were wounded soldiers. Therefore, the tactic of fighting with the enemy is the most unrealistic. The only thing they can take advantage of. It is a defensive counterattack tactic-all infantry defend, let Reina lead the cavalry to charge and fight.

This tactic requires very high physical strength and defense.

Therefore, the 15 points of stamina and defense added by the command aura are extremely important. besides. The aura of command can also increase the movement speed and save 35% of the damage of long-range attacks. This allowed Xiao En's infantry defense formation to move while fighting without being completely surrounded by the enemy. Similarly, Sean also prepared for the worst, that is, even if they are forced into positional warfare, they can rely on the recovered thirty shock shields to build a solid line of defense, and the only long-range attack that needs to be worried about is also defeated. The ability attached to the aura of command saves a certain amount of damage.

All tactics are just for long-term combat.

Under the coordinated command of Sean and Cecilia, all infantry have already started to move. And Rui Na has already led the entire cavalry unit to quickly distance to the left to prevent being surrounded by the opponent's troops that have already launched a charge. In this case, no matter how strong Rui Na's cavalry unit is, it will lose all value.

But when Sean saw that the actions of Rena's entire cavalry unit were not as fast as the previous nights, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then opened the personal attribute panel.

Just looking at it, he was suddenly stunned.

Because at this moment, the halo skill that Reina displayed was not the halo of command that Xiao En wanted, but the halo of war that greatly strengthened the combat ability of the troops!

If Xiao En, Rui Na and others are allowed to charge, then the effect of this halo will undoubtedly be excellent. But the current situation is that Sean needs to rely on the ability to sustain combat to consume the enemy's combat power, so the halo of war is worthless to the entire infantry unit around Sean.

But now, Sean really has no way to say anything, he can only quickly change the target of the battle.

Under Xiao En's command, the entire infantry quickly retreated to distance themselves from the opponent.

According to the normal situation, the wolf must order the whole army to pursue, but now there are Rui Na and her 200 light cavalry standing beside her. Of course, the wolf dare not order the whole army to pursue easily, otherwise, Rui Na will directly side him If the charge cuts the army in half, it may cause chaos in the entire army.

Sure enough, when seeing Xiao En retreating, the wolf did not dare to let all the soldiers charge.

In the army formation, 400 spearmen and 200 sword and shield soldiers were left to protect the 500 archers. As we all know, spears are extremely beneficial in dealing with cavalry, but this advantage refers to a perfect spear forest defense It is not a pike army, so two hundred sword and shield soldiers are needed to cooperate with four hundred pike soldiers to lay down the spear forest defense formation. As long as Rui Na dared to charge towards the archers, she would be greeted by a steel defense line consisting of 400 long spears. This defense system has been proven by countless wars. It is most suitable for dealing with light cavalry troops.

And the cavalry unit under Reina's command, although relying on the halo skills can indeed exert the power of heavy cavalry, it is still light cavalry in essence, and this will not change. So when seeing wolves adopt this defense system without hesitation. Reina's light cavalry unit immediately made a circular U-turn on one side of the battlefield, and no longer charged against the archer unit.

But even if Rui Na succeeded in restraining the opponent's troops of more than 1,000 in one fell swoop, Xiao En and the others still had to face as many as 900 troops!

This is a battle sword unit!

The so-called battle sword is a set of troops in the world of miracles that use swordsmen as the main unit to fight fortified battles. This includes the three types of swordsmen who use one-handed swords and round shields, use two-handed broadswords, and use long swords. Of course, some corresponding adjustments will be made in individual cases or when the commander has special preferences. However, it was obvious that the wolf didn't have a particular preference, because this 900-strong sword fighting force was composed of the three most common types of swordsmen.

Swordsman is the third-level advanced profession of a warrior, and according to different personal habits and development directions, different advanced professions will naturally be extended.

Swordsmen who use a light shield such as a round shield and a one-handed sword are called shield swordsmen. The biggest difference between them and sword and shield soldiers is that this type of occupation is not a defensive occupation, although wearing a round shield increases a certain level defense. However, they sacrificed attack power and speed at the same time. But in the battlefield environment, this profession has the highest survival rate. In other words, this is a profession born specifically for war.

Of course, these "shield swordsmen" at the moment are not real shield swordsmen. It's just to imitate the costume of the shield swordsman to configure it. The real shield swordsman is a fourth-tier profession.

A swordsman with a long sword. It is the most common attire in the entire swordsman system, and it is also a symbol of the true "swordsman" profession. Whether it is strength, agility, or endurance, this profession maintains extremely balanced growth data. Although it has always been evaluated as moderate in the game, there is also a saying that "the golden mean is king". Represents no apparent weaknesses.

The swordsman with two-handed wide-edged sword is a swordsman profession that obviously focuses on the growth of strength. Although this profession is essentially a third-level swordsman, they actually strengthen their strength, but it also reduces their strength. Added values ​​such as agility and stamina. The advanced feature of this profession is the fourth-level "heavy swordsman", which is a profession that is completely opposite to the "fast swordsman". However, like the "shield swordsmen" on the battlefield right now, these swords with broad blade A soldier is also not a real fourth-tier occupation.

It was supposed to be the attire of a fourth-tier profession, but on the current battlefield, it is equipped with a third-tier profession. Perhaps this is a great threat to others, but for a seasoned person like Xiao En, he But the flaws of doing so are all too clear.

Whether it is a shield swordsman or a heavy swordsman, they will not be able to show their greatest characteristics due to problems in their ranks, but their shortcomings will be directly magnified.

Just imagine, a collocation that can only be mastered by the fourth level appears in the third level profession. This is definitely not a strengthening, but will completely wipe out the original advantages of the profession. It's like a person who is clearly lacking in strength but fortunately has an advantage in speed, but insists on using an epee that cannot be fully mastered by his own strength. Doesn't it mean that the speed advantage is lost?

So at this moment, the shield swordsman rushed to the front, followed by the real swordsman, and the swordsman who used the two-handed wide-edged sword fell last because of the weight problem.

But in Xiao En's eyes, it was the swordsman in the middle who was really the most threatening.

Of course, in terms of Sean's current troop size, to use the terminology in the game, that is, this sword troop can even kill Sean alive. Not to mention, there are also five hundred archers from three hundred meters away.

The rain of arrows suddenly fell!

But at this moment, a shocking scene appeared on the battlefield!
