Seven Hundred and Seventieth IX Trench Tactics

"They're going to mount the cavalry!"

Zhang Lingyue set up the awning with one hand, desperately trying to see some clues from the wind and snow.

"what to do!?"

Wang Shuang frowned.

I also frowned: "At this time, what do you think should be done?"

"If it were me..."

He pondered, and said: "I will send an order to bring out the spears and spears of the entire army. The front line of spears and shields will pierce and defend, the back line will be the bow battalion, and the last will be the heavenly cavalry battalion. Everyone will mount their horses and prepare for battle. , once the heavy cavalry of the Flamingo Corps break through our line of defense, they will be surrounded and killed immediately to ensure that the camp is not lost."

"Um."

I nodded, Wang Shuang is indeed worthy of being one of the best generals in the Far East Province, and perhaps a second-tier famous general in the Xuanyuan Empire. A set of tactics is well-organized, and conventional cold-blade warfare is indeed like this, at least In the game, the tactics and battle formations are simpler and rougher, and in fact that's all there is to it.

"how?"

Wang Shuang also saw that my expression was not quite right, and said, "My dear brother, do you... think there is something wrong with what I said?"

"It's wrong to be wrong."

I looked into the distance, and silently activated the Shifang Fire Wheel Eye, and said: "But you have also seen that the Flamingo Corps is well-equipped, even the heavy infantry are covered in armor, and their heavy cavalry must have no weaknesses." , There will be a complete set of armor from people to horses, and at that time... I am afraid that our long spear formation will not be able to withstand it for a long time, and it will be smashed to pieces, besides, they have an advantage in numbers."

"I know that too..."

Wang Shuang frowned and said, "But I have no other choice. If you have any strategy, tell me quickly, you're going to squeeze me to death."

"Um."

I nodded and said: "All the people in the Tianqi Battalion should dismount immediately, and dig a trench a hundred meters behind the defense line to go through things. The trench should be at least five meters wide, so that their horses cannot jump over. The deeper the better, use the bamboo ladder to cover the retreat of the Tiebu Battalion and the Shenbow Battalion. We will move the position back a hundred meters, and there will be a trench in front of the position. At that time, there will be a lot of spears, so that their heavy cavalry cannot rush up and trample on each other. , isn't it better?"

Immediately, Wang Shuang trembled all over, waved and said, "Qin...Qin Zhantong, did you hear that?"

"My subordinates heard it!" Qin Zhan clasped his fists.

"Hurry up, do it, the next task of the Tianqi Battalion is to dig a trench!"

"yes!"

For a moment, Wang Shuang was so excited that she danced and danced, and said with a smile, "Brother, why didn't I think of the method of digging a hole... Hahahaha, how could I not think of it?"

On the side, Zhang Lingyue looked into the distance calmly, and said: "The heavy cavalry with their mounts and men are quite huge. Once they fill up the trenches with their flesh and blood, wouldn't they be able to walk on flat ground again?"

"Um."

I admired Zhang Lingyue's insight even more. This guy will definitely grow into a generation of famous generals in the future, so I said: "I also thought of this section, so I plan to pour thornwood oil in the pit. War horses are afraid of fire. Once they fall into the trench All the heavy cavalry in the pit are on fire, and the heavy cavalry in the back row may not dare to rush. Due to the inferiority of arms and troops, we only need to keep them out of the camp of the Silver Frost Legion and contain the powerful Flamingo Corps , the Silver Frost Legion is considered to have made great military exploits."

"That's right!"

At this time, a voice came from behind, everyone turned around and saw Zhenyang Gong Guan Yang riding a horse, leading a group of generals, and said with a smile: "Master Qiyue Liuhuo is right, this war, we Xuanyuan The real trump card of the empire is His Majesty's Flame God Legion, the Knights of the Temple, and several other major legions. Although the Blazing Legion in our Far East Province failed to reach the battlefield, the Silver Frost Legion was able to hold back in the valley on the east side. Nearly 30% of the Scarlet Royal Court's military strength is already an extraordinary feat!"

As he said that, the veteran looked at us and said with a smile: "Wang Shuang, Qiyue Liuhuo, Zhang Lingyue, if you can defeat the Scarlet Royal Court in this battle, your credit will be indispensable, and I will ask His Majesty for credit for you!"

"Thank you Grand Duke!"

Wang Shuang was very grateful and saluted with fists together.

"Free gift."

Guan Yang smiled and said meaningfully: "Actually, before entering the Northern Wilderness Province, I never expected that the Silver Frost Legion would be able to fight like this. After the Bird Corps, the Silver Frost Corps could order a retreat as long as they resisted for an hour. However, I didn't expect that you not only resisted the Flamingo Corps for a whole day, but even greatly killed their active troops. According to the orders sent by His Majesty The battlefield scouts reported that in this battle... you have killed nearly 200,000 heavy infantry of the Flamingo Corps, do you know what this record means?"

Wang Shuang was stunned: "Grand Duke, what does it mean?"

Guan Yang raised his mouth and said, "For more than a hundred years, this is the most proud result of our empire against the Scarlet Royal Court!"

"sky……"

Zhang Lingyue was very pleasantly surprised.

A group of lieutenants were also very happy.

Guan Yang smiled and said: "That's right, after this battle, I think... the whole world should think that the Silver Frost Legion has the qualifications of a first-class regiment on the Magical Moon Road, right? I will give priority to applying for the source of soldiers, food, supplies, and equipment for you." To add, you don't need to worry about the future, go fight with all your strength, and the Far East Province will be proud of the Silver Frost Legion this time!"

"Yes, Grand Duke!"

A group of people saluted together, and Lord Zhenyang gave me a look of approval, and then led them away.

It seems that people really want to prove themselves. I was reprimanded by Guan Yang when I wanted to preserve the vitality of the Silver Frost Legion in the last Battle of the North Wall, but this time his attitude towards me has completely changed. There is no doubt that everything The reason for this is because I have already won half the battle, and half the victory is enough to make the Silver Frost Legion famous all over the world!

...

Behind him, the excavation of the trench has already started. More than 20,000 people from the Tianqi Battalion have all been involved in the project, each of them is full of fighting spirit, and the dirt and snow are flying when they are excavated. The work efficiency is quite good. It seems that at most A simple trench can be formed in 20 minutes, and in the snow curtain ahead, the drums of "dong dong dong" sounded, shocking everyone's soul. Finally, we are about to usher in a fierce battle. The strongest unit of the Bird Corps!

In the valley, as mushroom clouds rose into the sky, a large number of soldiers from the remaining legions were blown into piles of pieces, and in the smoke, rows of neat cavalry rushed past, rushing through at the least cost. We crossed the blockade of the heavy artillery battalion's salvo fire, and the sound of horseshoes roared. Soon, huge figures rushed up to the high ground and appeared in front of our eyes.

"Pike array!"

I raised my hand suddenly, and suddenly the spears and iron spears of the Tiebuying pierced out from the gaps in the shield, while Zhang Lingyue directed the volley of thornwood oil non-stop, and had to use fire to disrupt the opponent's re-emergence. The charge rhythm of the cavalry, otherwise the Iron Step Battalion will face a catastrophe. Human flesh and blood can never withstand the rapid impact of hundreds of kilograms of heavy cavalry.

Looking at the rows of heavy cavalry in front of him, Wang Shuang gritted his teeth, and said, "These mounts... are all bloody horses from the northern grasslands... Ever since the northern grasslands of the empire were stolen by the Scarlet Royal Court, we have been fighting for thousands of years." There are no such good horses anymore, if there are, we can also form such a heavy cavalry regiment, alas..."

I looked ahead: "These heavy cavalry are more powerful than the Tianqi Battalion?"

"Riding skills, tactics, and battle formations, our Heavenly Cavalry Battalion does not lose to any cavalry regiment, but... the endurance, speed, strength of the horses, as well as the protection of the armor, and the sharpness of the sword are far inferior to the opponent. "

Wang Shuang stared into the distance, and said: "The 200,000 cavalry of the Flamingo Corps are the foundation of the country of the sea, if we have these 200,000 cavalry in the Far East Province, I am afraid that they will have already passed the northern wall. Ran thousands of miles to pioneer forests, and expelled the pioneer Valen from the homeland of our empire."

It can be seen that he is greedy for other people's heavy cavalry.

In fact, I am also greedy, but there is no way, the heavy cavalry in front of me is our sworn enemy!

...

"Puffy~~~"

Amidst the violent impact, the defense line of the Iron Step Battalion was violently impacted. In an instant, the soldiers of the first row of the Iron Step Battalion were knocked back several steps. Most of them were knocked away by the opponent's iron armor, and the heavily armored horses hit the shield one by one, and some went straight through!

"Kill them!"

A heavy cavalryman rushing to the front raised a fiery red sword, with streaks of flame inscriptions appearing on the blade, and in the next second, with a "poof", the sword actually pierced through the thick shield, It pierced into the chest of a soldier of the Iron Step Battalion, and then the flamingo heavy cavalry on the front line drew their swords one by one, and launched successive attacks with "chi chi chi chi".

Iron Step Camp suffered heavy losses!

"Asshole!"

Wang Shuang was so angry that he trembled all over: "They...they are holding steel swords with engraved inscriptions... How rich is the sea country, and it can afford such 200,000 heavy cavalry?"

"Don't worry."

I looked into the distance and said, "Actually, only the heavy cavalry in the front row who are in charge of penetrating defenses have inscription swords, and the ones in the back row are all ordinary steel swords! Where is Zhang Lingyue!"

"My lord, this subordinate is here!"

Zhang Lingyue stood by with his bow in hand.

"Order the Divine Bow Battalion, replace it with inscription arrows, aim at the heavy cavalry at the front of the opponent, and kill them all for me!"

"yes!"

The next moment, the arrows flew like rain, "Puff puff puff" like locusts, shot through the opponent's armor, directly shot and killed the heavy cavalry holding the inscribed sword, and the braver iron infantry soldiers in the front row, Grabbing the sword directly, swinging the sword and slashing wildly on the spot, was already red-eyed.

That's right, the Tiebu Camp needs such fighting spirit and courage, otherwise it will definitely be flattened.

...

"Is the trench complete?"

I turned around and asked.

"It's done, deputy commander!" Qin Zhan said.

"Retreat slowly and use the trenches for a second defense!"

"yes!"

At the same time, I sent a message to Lin Xi, asking her to slowly retreat to the south of the trench with a group of people. It doesn't matter if we move the position back 100 meters, but we can gain a stronger geographical advantage.

Seeing the extremely dense figures of cavalry in the distance, Wang Shuang took a deep breath unwillingly, and said, "Fortunately, we are fighting in the mountains and forests of the Northern Wilderness Province. If we switch to the plains, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid that the Silver Frost Legion will definitely be wiped out?"

"Um……"
