Chapter 288 Hollow Phalanx and Napoleon Cannon

The Young Wolf Master was a little surprised, but he didn't take it seriously.

The 20,000-strong army was defeated, and the defense line composed of a mere 2,000 militiamen was nothing.

As for artillery, in this high-magic world like the Sky World, guns and artillery are nothing new, and they are not very powerful. Artillery and other things are just a sound. In history, dwarves and dwarfs were not even equipped with tanks and buoys. Even the airships and ships have been researched, so they have no sense of existence.

When it comes to a real fight, it still depends on the strength of the troops with real swords and guns.

At this time, he directly gave the order, "Kill!"

Nearly a thousand frost wolf beasts roared and charged forward.

A dense rain of arrows was fired from behind the spear formation, but it fell among the beasts, causing only dozens of casualties. In the blink of an eye, the beasts rushed to the militia line.

The old soldier showed his sword (militia captain): "Steady - steady - steady - two rows and three rows come forward to form a hedgehog formation!"

The spear militiamen behind suddenly took one step forward, and those in the third row took two steps forward. The three rows of militiamen were closely connected, and their spears formed a three-row spear formation like hedgehogs. The frost wolves bumped into it and were immediately stabbed. Cool to the core.

This wave is considered a reverse speed damage bonus.

Poof! Poof! Poof! In one charge, hundreds of war beasts were pricked into a sieve by the hedgehog formation. Some were still struggling and biting, but they soon died in front of the formation under the vigorous stabbing of three rows of spearmen.

Boom boom boom!

Whoosh whoosh!

The archers and artillery behind the spear formation continued to fire, and more Frostwolves were killed every moment.

The Young Wolf Master felt heartbroken when he saw this. This was an elite force.

"Go around and attack on both sides."

However, when the wolves circled to both sides, what was waiting for them was more spear formations.

The veteran Liangjian was stunned and used these two thousand militiamen to form a hollow square array.

Finally, after nearly half of them were killed or injured, the remaining wolves dispersed.

He actually lost! The Young Wolf Master found it hard to accept that one thousand third-level soldiers were defeated by two thousand first-level soldiers. How can you still lose when a third-level soldier fights a first-level soldier?

He instinctively discovered that something was not right about these militiamen.

But it doesn't matter, the strange militia unit opposite only has 2,000 people. The key now is to reorganize the formation. There was no whole team before, the formation was too chaotic. Although the militia unit opposite was defeated, the orc army also completely messed up the formation.

As long as they reorganize their formation and attack them with a tight military force, these low-level militiamen will be dead no matter how they form.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked someone to blow the horn and withdraw the scattered troops.

Seeing the orcs briefly retreating, Darabengba let out a deep breath and was frightened to death. He almost thought he was going to be doomed just now.

Of the more than 20,000 militiamen, three to four thousand were killed. Fortunately, the morale of the militiamen recovered quickly, and they were barely able to fight again in the blink of an eye.

At this time, a man squeezed in from the crowd and opened his mouth to curse, "You fool, what kind of battle are you fighting? Do you know how to command?"

A roar made Darabengba turn around suddenly, and saw a militia leader with a Chinese character looking at him with an annoyed look on his face.

Darabeng thought in his heart that I was a dignified prince... However, when he saw the veteran's hawk-like eyes and stern face, he suddenly became a little embarrassed, but he refused to suffer.

"Damn, it sounds like you know how to fight."

The old soldier showed his sword (militia captain): "Of course I can. I have been a regiment leader and have studied modern military history."

Darabengba (Prince of Alterac): "Oh my god, you are so awesome, is it true? How old are you, sir?"

Veteran Liangjian (militia captain): "Of course it's true. The situation is urgent. Give me the command. You must arrange the next tactics immediately, otherwise the next wave will definitely be over."

Dalabengba and Sigret looked at each other, but Sigret shrugged and said that I don't have any war expertise, so you can do whatever you want.

"Okay, you take command." Darabengba is also a decisive leader. He knows that he has no commanding skills. Apart from the peasant riot specialty, he has no leadership skills or expertise at all. After all, heroes are generally strengthened. Personal combat ability is the main focus. If he hadn't acquired three rubbish specialties at once, he wouldn't have chosen the peasant riot specialty.

The old soldier showed no politeness with his sword and called all the militia captains over.

The biggest problem with this militia corps is that the command system is too rough. There is no top-down command system at all. In addition to the corps commander Dalabengba, the next step down is the militia captain. A militia captain has as many as a thousand people under his command. Eight hundred people, as few as one or two hundred people, cannot form a very strong troop composition at all.

In the past, they were all deployed as cannon fodder. If they really use all the militiamen to fight, their weaknesses will be exposed.

The veteran drew his sword and called out the militia captains with the highest rank and the most troops.

"Grete, Rex, Ed, Mars, Napoleon, Beckham, Da Dao Wang Wu, Qin Feiyu, the eight of you are responsible for being the group leaders and forming eight temporary militia groups. Each of you selects five militia captains. Second-in-command, gather the strength of 2,000 men.

When forming the formation, just follow the formation I just made. The infantry and spearmen are in front, and the archers are in the back. They form a hollow square formation. Remember not to charge randomly. Our task is to defend. As long as we hold on, we will win. Every time we defend, we will win. The square formations are one hundred meters apart and spread out in a nine-square grid with the artillery position as the core. Go ahead and act immediately. We don't have much time. "

The several militia captains he called immediately took action. Dalabengba looked surprised, "How do you know these people?"

Veteran Liangjian (militia captain): "Nonsense, ever since I knew there was going to be a war, I have been drinking and bonding with these militia captains these past few days. How can I not be familiar with them? But you, the commander-in-chief, why don't you even have anyone under your command?" Do you know? I haven't seen you in the military camp in the past few days."

Dalabengba felt ashamed for a while. To him, these militiamen were just a group of NPCs. What was there to talk about with NPCs? They were all public faces anyway. Just let them go up and send them off during the war.

When the player sees this strange militia captain commanding Ruoding, he is immediately speechless.

"Then what are we doing?" Sigret suddenly asked.

"Have you seen the formation I put up? This is called the Hollow Square Formation. It is a very classic formation in modern wars. Generally speaking, it should be done by musketeers, but now that the situation is urgent, we can only make do. Used.

My large hollow phalanx is composed of nine small hollow phalanxes, with artillery and archers as the output, and infantry and spearmen as the city walls. First, I use a defensive posture to continuously consume the enemy's morale and strength. When the enemy's offensive is frustrated and they fall into chaos, Then use elite cavalry to rush out and chase the enemy.

Our biggest problem now is that we don’t have elite cavalry.

The cavalry in your hands is our only mobile force. If you two have the courage, you can become the captain of the cavalry. When the enemy's offensive is frustrated, you two must go out to pursue and force the enemy to disperse. "

The two of them had also watched war movies and knew about the hollow square formation. They didn't expect that someone would use this tactic in the game, and they were surprised.

Darabonba (Prince of Alterac): "No problem. I may be a little bit bad at commanding large armies in battle, but I am still very good at leading troops to charge into battle."

Sigret (Prince of Alterac): "I don't have any problem with it, Darabon, just go ahead and I'll give you support from behind."

Darabengba (Prince of Alterac): "Damn, don't think I don't know. Didn't you say you want to change your job to the Moon Night God of War? You're pretending to be a nanny, why are you so cowardly?"

Sigret (Prince of Alterac): "I'm not a coward. I'm being cautious, you know? Moreover, I just accepted the mission and I'm still far away from changing jobs, so now I can only use spell support." You."

Just as the two people were arguing, the orc army in the distance had already arranged its formation. With the sound of shrill horns, nearly 10,000 orc infantry launched a charge again.

The old soldier flashed his sword and said hello, and the two princes hurriedly led the less than a hundred knights into the central small square of the hollow square.

"Here we come!" The veteran said in a deep voice with his sword drawn, looking at the battlefield ahead with lightning eyes.

His face was as heavy as water, but his heart was rising and falling like a tide. This was called a war. After holding off soldiers for so many years, he didn't expect that he would finally have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in the game.

The tide of orc infantry slammed into the three hollow phalanxes in the front row.

A brutal hand-to-hand combat immediately began.

"Fire!" the veteran commanded with his sword drawn.

The artillery blasted out shells, knocking over and killing swarms of orcs. Each shot could do hundreds or thousands of damage. Both Darabengba and Sigret looked at these artillery pieces with curiosity. It is understandable that the formation used modern military technology, but at this time even these artillery pieces looked very familiar to the two of them.

Darabonba (Prince of Alterac): "I'll go, this is a Napoleon cannon."

Sigret (Prince of Alterac): "Napoleon Cannon? Did you read that correctly? Is there a Napoleon Cannon in this game?"

Darabonba (Prince of Alterac): "You're absolutely right. I've completed the Empire Age countless times, and my favorite one is the Napoleon Cannon. Where did you get the blueprints, bro?"

The old soldier pointed his sword and directed the artillery to bombard the orc infantry crowded in the gap between the lines, and said nonchalantly: "Of course I painted it myself."

Sigret (Prince of Alterac): "What? Did you draw it yourself? Are your engineering skills at the master level?"

If your engineering skills are upgraded to the master level, you can DLY drawings by yourself, but only hero players who specialize in engineering can do this kind of thing. How can a veteran militia captain do it with his sword?

The old soldier showed his sword but was even stranger than the two of them, "What engineering? I don't understand what you are talking about at all. I just drew it from my memory and then found a group of dwarf blacksmiths to help build it. Don't tell me, those Humpty Dumpty doesn't drink well and gets into fights when he drinks too much, but his craftsmanship is really not that great. They can do all the drawings I draw.

I drank with them for eight times and made them feel comfortable. Not only did they not ask for overtime pay, they also added silver or gold to my cannon. It is said that no matter how I bomb it, it does not have an explosive barrel. I don’t know if it is true. Fake.

Don't talk nonsense, get ready, you are about to attack. "

In just a few minutes, the three hollow phalanxes in front were almost destroyed. The militiamen are just militiamen after all. No matter how high their morale is and how good their formation is, they can't last long, especially when those storm giants rush in. On the battlefield, after using storm strikes to easily destroy the militiamen in the front row, the three hollow phalanxes immediately began to collapse.

However, their role has already been played. The offensive of the orc army was completely absorbed by these three hollow square formations. Therefore, all the orcs in the front row fell into a melee and fell out of formation. However, the six hollow square formations here still maintained their formation. In complete formation, the archers in the phalanx kept firing arrows.

Artillery is also constantly bombarding the enemy's formation.

"Concentrate your firepower and kill those big guys. Fill me up with medicine and blast the fuck out with all your might."

Boom boom boom!

A storm giant was hit by five or six cannonballs in an instant, each of which was an armor-piercing attack.

The storm giant with more than 10,000 health was suddenly blasted out of its health bar and collapsed.

The other storm giant was even more unlucky. He was hit in the head by a cannonball, a direct headshot and a fatal blow.

Considering the hit rate of this muzzle-loading gun, the element of luck is obviously greater.

As the storm giants were killed one by one by artillery, the orc army's offensive immediately came to a halt.

Although they defeated three hollow phalanxes, the momentum of the charge had been lost. When these orc infantry rushed to the three hollow phalanxes in the second row, they directly fell into a war of attrition with the militia infantry in the front row. There is no way to break through.

This kind of war of attrition is extremely beneficial to the Alliance, because the formation has been set up, and the artillery and archers in the hollow square array can output damage with maximum efficiency.

But the orcs could only rely on the front row to fight.

For a time, the orc infantry fell down row by row, and the supporting troops behind them were completely unable to come up.

The Young Wolf Master kept sending his wolf cavalry around to the enemy's rear, but there was no concept of a rear row in the large hollow square formation. When the wolf cavalry went around to the back, they were still facing the hollow square formation that was waiting for them, just like a wolf catching a hedgehog, helpless. At the bottom of the mouth.

Seeing the casualties of the orc troops rising sharply to more than 3,000, the Young Wolf Lord had no choice but to ask the soldiers to withdraw and reorganize their formation.

The orc infantry retreated in confusion, but the veteran's eyes lit up when he saw them with their swords drawn.

"The opportunity has come, attack quickly!"

Attack? Are you kidding me? Darabeng was a little dumbfounded when he saw that there were still thousands of orc infantry in front of them. They only had a hundred cavalry under their command. If they couldn't catch up, wouldn't they give up?

What do you know? It's not that easy for troops to retreat. Rush quickly. If you don't rush, you will miss the opportunity. Remember to keep an eye on the cavalry on the opposite side. Don't chase too far. Kill them for a while and then come back.

Dalabengba gritted his teeth - kill!

The infantry of the phalanx got out of the way, and Darabonba and Sigret led a hundred cavalry to fight out.

The ten dragon-equipped heavy cavalry led by Roland who rushed at the front were like razors, knocking over the orc infantry blocking the road and slashing them to the ground.

One hundred cavalry were more or less, and they launched a concentrated charge. Each time, they were able to defeat hundreds of orc infantry and cause huge damage to them.

The key point is that these orc infantry are in retreat and it is difficult to reorganize a counterattack.

Moreover, the charge of the ten heavy cavalry in dragon armor was too fierce. Even the orcs couldn't withstand the charge with their heavy armor.

With the rise of Darabeng's barrage, he completely forgot about the veteran's instructions to show his sword, and just led the cavalry to rush towards the place where the orc infantry gathered.

The corners of the Young Wolf Lord's mouth gradually turned up as he looked at it, he was looking for death!

"Wolf Cavalry - Charge!" He personally led nearly a thousand wolf cavalry to launch a countercharge.

This wolf cavalry unit can be said to be the last elite in his hands. When he saw Wuyang Wuyang's wolf cavalry outflanking them, Dalabengba immediately panicked.

"Retreat, retreat—"

But it was too late. The young wolf master's cutting point was very precise, cutting off the retreat of the one hundred cavalry directly from the side.

Seeing these one hundred cavalry being surrounded, Darabengba and Sigret were in a panic.

Roar!

Suddenly a dragon roar sounded in the sky, shaking the sky.

When Sigret looked up, his face was filled with surprise.

"It's Brother Aidan!"

The next second, the Storm Dragon King swooped down, and a wolf cavalryman flipped over with a thunderous breath.

Murphy raised the altitude, and while circling, he looked at the dense orc army below. He was a little surprised. He thought that this Dalabeng bar was a bit powerful. It could actually fight against the 10,000 orc army on the opposite side with more than 20,000 militiamen. Come and go.

Even if you are a bit reckless, let me help you, and gain some experience by the way.

After finding a suitable position, he spread his wings.

Dragon thunder storm!

Wind and thunder gathered in the sky, and red clouds billowed.

Boom boom boom! Dragon thunder was like rain, which immediately made the orc army even more panic-stricken.

This was much more powerful than the Napoleon cannon. The red thunder exploded in the sky and caused heavy casualties to the orcs.

The old soldier was looking at the sword with enthusiasm. This firepower was at least B52 level.

It seems that even when fighting in the game, the air force is crucial.

Why don't I go back and build a few dragons to support, buy up the air force, and build out machine guns and tanks. When the three armed forces of the sea, land and air gather together, even if we can't fight modern war, we can at least bring the level of science and technology to the level of World War II. .

The current random thoughts did not delay him from grasping the combat skills.

When the opportunity arrived, the veteran jumped onto a big rock with his sword drawn, "Attack in full force!"

The militia army suddenly stopped maintaining a hollow square formation and launched a full-scale attack.

Only then did Murphy notice that the person commanding the militia army was not Dalabengba, but a certain militia captain.

He didn't pay too much attention, but actively cooperated, specifically blasting the dragon thunder to the place where the orcs were the densest.

Whenever the orcs wanted to gather together to form a resistance, he would blast them with several dragon thunders, and at the same time order the dragon patrollers to dive bomb.

At this time, the orc army could no longer withstand it, its morale completely collapsed, and groups of them retreated.

The Young Wolf Lord looked at the Storm Dragon King raging in the sky fiercely.

"retreat!"
