Chapter 87 Trap
Today is the day when the first round of supplies arrives, and the messenger has already passed through, giving them a safe and smooth signal.
For the past ten days, they have been patrolling near the supply line to ensure that no one comes to harass them.
As long as there are stray soldiers approaching, they will rush forward and kill them all.
In fact, those people often use light cavalry that are faster than them to pull and harass them.
Even a man born on the grassland cannot withstand such a high-intensity battle.
The captain of the giant wolf cavalry paced uneasily, as if an unknown danger was approaching him, but he was not aware of it at all.
In the hills in the distance, a black-armored sergeant stood beside Ji Lin, his eyes falling on the giant wolf cavalry in the center of the battlefield.
This was a temporary command from the border army. After seeing the battle plan made by Ji Lin, he agreed to let him execute it...only using the lords' own troops, and they served as war supervisors to review the results of the battle.
If victory is impossible, the frontier heavy cavalry, as the last insurance, will rush into the battlefield with lances to help their temporary allies resolve the battle and harvest the giant wolf cavalry.
When this happens, it also means that Ji Lin's plan fails, and he will directly lose his current identity as a commander and be demoted one level.
They were prepared to eat all four hundred giant wolf cavalry in one go.
All the lords have been formed into formations according to their respective military types, forming multiple reserve teams and put into the battlefield one by one under his command - he rationally separated each lord from the frontline command to prevent them from interfering with the command and directly conveyed the instructions to their hero units.
These heroic units all come with a certain level of combat prowess and are able to respond to his commands.
In terms of experience level, it means well-trained.
He did not force those who were unwilling to be stripped off, and asked them to monitor other passages to prevent anyone from passing through these passages to make reports.
Take advantage of the current limited-time army command to get familiar with it first. It will be difficult to have so many people to command him for a long time.
With enough troops, he has the capital to fight these people.
The number was three thousand five hundred to four hundred.
Replace all fragile and unarmored units to prevent the morale of the army in front from collapsing, which will also cause the morale of nearby armies to drop significantly. A collapsed army can often easily disperse other fully equipped armies from their formations, and then form A collapse like a rolling bead curtain.
He will avoid this.
"The bait is coming."
The eyes in the sky brought him vital news, the location of the supply team. After calculating the data, they had the specific time when the supply team arrived.
The chronograph in his hand was turning the brass pointer. Every time the rotating pointer turned, the giant wolf cavalry in the field of vision was one minute closer to death.
A thousand spearmen and crossbowmen have already been ambushing them at night, and these giant wolf cavalry have to go back every night to resume their operations.
In their opinion, there is no value in 24-hour guarding here. Even if there is, the spirit of the cavalry cannot withstand it. Except for the four hundred giant wolf cavalry who guarantee the supply line, everyone else is hunting as many edible creatures as possible. , the daily consumption of the 40,000-strong legion is an astronomical figure.
A team under attack will inevitably attract the support of these giant wolf cavalry. If they are really cold-blooded and refuse to save them, Ji Lin can directly harvest a round of supplies.
If they really dare to go deep into the forest and be surrounded by dense woods, those malicious woods will make them understand why the cavalry cannot stop.
The giant wolf cavalry that has lost its biggest impact advantage is no better than the ordinary monster cavalry in close combat. If a cavalry is stopped, the giant wolf cavalry that has lost its speed advantage will be slaughtered by him.
Just because they are adapted to the forest does not mean that they can come and go freely within the area controlled by the tree people.
The clock completes one revolution.
The shouts of killing resounded in the forest, and the cavalrymen who were unaware fell to the ground one by one under the thrust of their spears. The giant wolf cavalry outside the forest was obviously a little stunned, and then panic began to spread.
Ji Lin's position was well chosen, just where they could support his supply team with a little deeper depth.
It was just enough to accommodate all four hundred wolf riders, leaving an opening to seal off their escape route.
"Don't panic! Come in with me!"
The passage is not narrow, but it is not suitable for cavalry charges. They have no room to move and can only move forward without a chance to retreat.
The captain of the Wolf Cavalry Brigade realized that this forest seemed to be more prosperous and dense than before, and even the sunlight could not penetrate even half of it.
But it's more than enough to deal with these spearmen!
He pulled up the giant wolf, waved his long knife to block the incoming spears, and thrust the long knife into their hearts with one thrust. The giant wolf also waved its claws to fight away the group of spearmen, but was attacked. The spear was held up and stabbed into the body one after another.
It can't kill the giant wolf, but it is enough to make the giant wolf very angry and want to beat these villains to pieces one by one.
Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all the giant wolf cavalry entered the passage as he expected.
Those thousand people...were meant to die. Such a tactic would inevitably cause the wave of people used as activation bait to suffer a lot of casualties. The sooner the battle ended, the smaller their casualties would be.
"Inform the tree people to take action and let all the crossbowmen join the battlefield."
As his order was issued, the wolf cavalrymen who were still unable to use their combat skills felt even more uncomfortable. They were horrified to find that the trees beside them rose up from the ground, knocking down the trees blocking the road. The fallen trees crushed several wolf cavalrymen to death. Although the wolf was not dead, it was also howling under the tree because of the heavy blow.
A large number of sharp vines burst out from the soft ground, restricting the giant wolf's pace and further weakening its mobility.
And the giant wolf who wanted to escape into the forest...there must be a gap for them to get in!
In this melee, the wolf cavalry closest to the exit has begun to want to leave the battlefield and make way for their comrades to leave and avoid being crowded together.
What greeted them was a group of walking spider mechas that were more ferocious and brutal than them. The superheated steam was not very effective in killing monster units like giant wolves, but when dealing with the cavalry on their backs, it was not much slower than fighting against infantry.
The blood covenant enhanced the physical fitness of the cavalrymen, but it did not allow them to resist the direct injection of saturated steam.
Ten steam spiders used their steel bodies to block the escape route of the giant wolf cavalry.
The crossbowmen who had been ambushing in the rear for a long time finally received the order to move. Although they were far away and were placed three kilometers away to avoid being discovered by the wolf cavalry, they had to move forward at the risk of being discovered some time ago. Now it only takes ten minutes to reach the battlefield.
The tree people used their powerful armor and strength to engage in a long-lasting melee with the giant wolves. It was difficult for both sides to hurt each other, but the tree people would be considered successful as long as they could restrict them here.
Within a few minutes, the offensive and defensive situation changed.
(I'm ready to put an end to this script. I overestimated my ability. I'll start with something less difficult. It's a big step and I'm wasting my energy.)
(Today I'll only update once. I'll take a break to think about the plot later and look for inspiration in the books you recommended. OvO.)
