The 27th and 10th Flag Regiments were infantry. wWW!QuANbEn-XiAoShUo!COmThe ten soldiers are equipped with horses. Even the distance of Xiao Jie is quickly reached. Rex was angry because Daniel disrupted his plan.
If all five of Daniel's men died, even if Rex captured Strandburg, it would have an impact on morale.
This can't be blamed on Daniel. Daniel turned out to be a small nobleman, the kind who just sits around and collects money, and doesn't know how to fight. So Salin put Ge Yi in charge of the battle, but Salin gave the order and Daniel was in charge of the entire army. This is somewhat contradictory.
Ge Yi wanted to take credit, and Daniel should have stopped him, but Salin's words made him a little wary. After all, he didn't understand the war. He felt that Ge Yi was right, so he agreed to Ge Yi's request.
Ge Yi's people did not fight head-on with the enemy. Soon the people searching in the city fell into the trap laid by Ge Yi. On a narrow road, there were rocks on both sides. The barbarians were hidden in the rocks. The pirates from the front group were riding skeleton war horses, pretending to meet the enemy by chance, and then fled, leading the enemy into an ambush circle.
Daniel's undead creature Pisius was hiding in the earth. As soon as the enemy army arrived, he got out and cast an undead magic - a weak space.
Suddenly, the hundreds of cavalry and horses were attacked at the same time. Such a large-scale magic made Pixius exhausted. He did not engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, but turned around and ran away. How dare those soldiers chase him.
The war horses fell to the ground softly, and many soldiers wearing metal armor were injured. Among the rocks on both sides, the barbarians jumped out, swinging their huge axes and halberds sideways, and Ge Yi was so angry that he cursed behind him.
The soldiers of Strandburg were hit by axes and halberds, and their armor was cut open, with blood spraying everywhere. No one's clothes were available, and Ge Yi's plan to change into the enemy's clothes failed.
Without qualified soldiers, any plan is nonsense. Daniel and Frans were on the magic chariot and didn't take action. They have to save their mental power and magic strings and start fighting only after entering the city. Now everything depends on two hundred barbarians.
Apart from some mental problems, the barbarians were fine. At least they had the upper hand when facing enemies that were twice as many as themselves. Because Picius' undead magic has not yet expired, the enemy's strength is less than half of its usual strength.
These hundreds of enemies are not considered heavy cavalry, nor are they light cavalry. No one can run fast without their horses. The metal armor they wore became a burden to these soldiers. If they were wearing leather armor, they would be able to fight the barbarians on a par.
The barbarians howled and howled, and at first they cooperated with each other, but later they simply rushed into the middle of the enemy. Hacking like crazy. Without the large-scale undead magic, at least most of these barbarians would have died. Now, except for a few who were accidentally stabbed, the rest relied on the advantage of their armor to run rampant.
The armors Saleen made for these barbarians were thick and not heavy, and were most suitable for people with such brute strength. Even without armor, the fighting style of these barbarians is to chop at each other, rarely dodging, and whoever is ruthless wins. This kind of fighting method is very disadvantageous on the battlefield, but now the enemy is extremely weak and cannot wield heavy weapons. Only a straight thrust with a sword can hurt them.
This is a very weak and effective way of playing, provided that the enemy's attack power is sharply reduced. The weapons Salin tailored for them saved them. Otherwise, if they fought with stone weapons, the enemy's metal armor would be difficult to break through. The barbarians are not as good as the Caucasians. There are many blacksmiths among the Caucasians who can make sharp metal weapons, but the barbarians use weapons made of obsidian. They can be used against Warcraft, but not against human soldiers.
It must be mentioned here that Salin gathered thousands of barbarians and exchanged his metal weapons for a large number of obsidian stones. These obsidian stones have been accumulated by barbarians for thousands of years, and some barbarian weapons have been worn for more than ten generations.
Both sides were happy, the barbarians got more powerful weapons, and Salin got the precious Obsidian.
Ge Yi had no choice but to let the pirates block him from behind and use their bows and crossbows to harvest the enemy's lives. The shooting skills of the pirates were demonstrated at this time, and many barbarians were shot and wounded by the pirates. Fortunately, their armor was good and none of them were shot to death. The injured barbarians were even more terrifying. Their eyes were blood red and they were waving axes and halberds like crazy.
Ge Yi was stunned. He admired Salin so much. No wonder he brought a lot of healing water to his team. He had expected this result a long time ago.
A messy battle, an inexplicable victory.
After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, four hundred enemies were killed before the undead magic failed. Of course, the armor on all the corpses was also in shreds and could no longer be used.
Fortunately, Daniel was lucky. Four hundred infantrymen approached, and a flying undead he released appeared. Ge Yi fainted and let the pirates attack head on.
At this time, Pichuis regained some energy and took the lead in rushing forward. Pixius is an eighth-level undead. Although his magic is limited to level seven, his body's power and intensity have not been reduced too much by this impact. Just the formation of our infantry. It was also Nash's bad luck that he did not send a magician to accompany the army. These infantry were not prepared in advance.
In Qin Yin, most of the infantry were also mounted, but they were not excellent war horses. The horses of these infantrymen carried the heavy equipment of the infantry, such as iron shields. If these infantrymen were organized to form a three-layer iron shield for defense, Picius would not be able to attack directly from beginning to end.
There are also unproductive swordsmen among the infantry. Facing Pichuis who can't cast magic will definitely hurt Pichus's fundamentals. If there was even a quasi-swordsman hidden among the infantry, it was even possible to kill Picius. If there had been a great magician, Daniel would have cried.
There was no if on the battlefield, and Nash's order was ignored. The two teams came out to search, and the infantry and cavalry were separated. There was a serious disconnect, and there was no magician accompanying them. The previous cavalry were killed by undead magic, and the following infantry were rushed out of formation by Picius. Then the pirates rode on skeleton horses, brandished long knives, and killed them.
Strictly speaking, even with Picius here, these pirates are no match for four hundred infantry. After Picius killed dozens of soldiers in an instant, more than a dozen swordsmen surrounded him. The long sword in one of them's hands hit one of Picius's heads, frightening him to rush forward crazily. Then cooperate with the soldiers to fight.
This Pixius is a bit special. He is trapped in the plane of Mels, and it is difficult to return to the plane of the undead. If he dies in battle, his soul will dissipate, unlike those summoned skeletons that can be resurrected as undead.
It would be a tragedy for the cavalry to be trapped among the infantry. If there is no way to lift it, it will be strangled by the infantry. Especially Qin Yin's elite infantry can instantly kill stopped horses. Each infantryman has three short weapons, one of which is specially designed to deal with horses.
However, the pirates under Ge Yi rode undead war horses with metal spikes more than a foot long that could not cause harm to them at all, unless they were enchanted weapons.
But such weapons of ordinary soldiers could not be enchanted. After a brief period of discomfort, these well-trained soldiers had already been chopped down dozens of times.
These pirates are not as elite as Qin Yin's infantry. But his eyes were very good, and when he saw Pichus escaping, he immediately made a decision and followed Pichus out of the infantry siege. This is a pirate's instinct and doesn't need to be practiced at all. Ge Yi looked at it from a distance and wanted to cry. Is this the virtue of the army that he has worked so hard to train
But it happened that this kind of escape without fighting saved the pirates. The skeleton war horses would join in vain. Nash's men did not know it. For a while, they did not organize an effective interception, and the pirates left a few corpses and fled. This only happened in ten seconds. Ge Yi never gave such an order at all.
Within ten seconds, four pirates were killed by the unprepared enemy. Now the pirates were also embarrassed. They no longer dared to rush into the infantry to fight, but shot arrows from a distance.
If Nash's infantry and cavalry were not out of touch, this tactic would not be applicable, but now they were facing infantry on horseback, and there was no way they could catch up with the skeleton horses. But infantry is more difficult to shoot than cavalry. All infantry have two shields, one is an iron shield to organize position defense, and the other is a wooden shield to defend against bows and arrows.
Wooden shields cannot protect against alchemy crossbows, but they still have some protection against steel crossbows and longbows. Moreover, these infantrymen were very powerful in combat. Only a dozen people were shot to death among the random arrows.
The infantrymen took out their crossbow boxes and fought back, but the range of the crossbow boxes was not as good as the steel crossbows in the hands of the pirates. During the counterattack, a dozen more were shot to death by the pirates. In less than two minutes, the number of these four hundred infantrymen was reduced to nearly one hundred. If it was a mob, they would have scattered now, but the infantry of these two groups still retreated towards Strandburg under the orders of the officers. The soldiers used wooden shields to block the crossbow attacks.
The three hundred infantry abandoned their horses and retreated on foot in an orderly manner. After all, there is Strandburg behind, and no matter how strong the enemy is, they don't dare to approach. Little did they know that the enemy in front of them was planning to rush into the city.
Ge Yi also felt that something was wrong. At first, the four hundred cavalrymen died unjustly because they were strangled with barbarians in a narrow place and fell under the influence of undead magic. But the infantry in front of him shocked Ge Yi.
The regular army is really powerful. The pirates have already fired their steel crossbows, replaced them with short bows, and started shooting feather arrows. Half of the pirates have no strength to fire their bows. If this continues, these hundreds of infantrymen will really be able to escape. Return to the city.
As a last resort, Ge Yi came to the place where Daniel was hiding. The chariots were hidden in the withered grass. Ge Yi knocked on the carriage and whispered: "Sir, the enemy can't take it down."
Daniel was also observing the battlefield. He knew that if he didn't take action, the pirates would have to retreat and let the enemy escape.
"Okay, you gather the barbarians together, protect the chariot, and we attack head-on." Daniel gave an order that was finally correct, otherwise today's battle would have started as a comedy and ended in tragedy.
