"Go send a message to Ma Long, and limit him to arrive at the battlefield within half a day."
"yes."
After giving the order to his adjutant with a wry smile, Gusha could only look sadly at the army that had gradually formed its formation in the distance.
In fact, he didn't want to bring his own troops to fight with Dane. Winning or losing is another matter. If the strength of the two sides is similar, there will inevitably be huge losses. And the 3,000 people under him are the core strength of him sitting in Tiedinggang, and it is really distressing to throw them on the battlefield to fight with others like this.
But what can I do? He is not a warlord who can make his own decisions. How can he not listen to Governor Kangli's orders
Bite the bullet and fight.
"Why don't you save Shawan Port? Sigh..." He sighed, and he could only direct his troops to prepare for battle.
Under his command, the Iron Spike Hill Army formed a very conservative defensive formation.
It is true that his battle goal is to destroy Dane's main army, but he still knows how to fight.
Since, the current situation is that Dane intends to break through him, then simply stick to it. Not seeking a sure victory, but seeking to be able to drag Ma Long's army to the scene. At that time, the combined strength of the two sides will definitely exceed the entire army of Dane, and the chance of winning will be greater under the encirclement.
As for whether Malone will come as scheduled, he is not worried at all. With that guy's courage, he didn't dare to play tricks.
Many years ago, when Moreno began to rise and looked at Shawan Port, it was Governor Conley who gave Malone enough support behind him, so that he was able to keep half of the port under the constant pressure of Moreno. If it weren't for this, Morno would have wiped out Malone long ago.
Now, with the order of Governor Conley, Gusha, who came to completely wipe out Dane, does not believe that Ma Long dared to disobey his order. If he dared to defy, it didn't matter whether Dane died or whether he could survive the battle, anyway, Malone's family would definitely suffer. And Governor Conley wants to re-support a proxy warlord in Malone Manor, it is not too simple.
It was precisely because of this that he would not choose to fight Dane alone and let Malone clean up the mess. In his eyes, how could Ma Long's army be as important as the people in his hands? I believe that Governor Kangli will also support his own ideas. The more than 2,000 direct line troops in Chaos City are not only the power in the hands of Gusha, but also the heart and soul of Governor Kangli.
The rumbling drums and hammers sounded, and when the Iron Spike Hill Legion had just set up a defensive formation, Dane's army also began to press in.
Gu Sha, who was sitting on a horse, could clearly see that the main battle formation composed of hundreds of heavy infantry and thousands of light infantry was pressing towards him step by step. . Looking around, the howling wolf cavalry was constantly swimming around wielding a scimitar. There is no doubt that if the opponent seized the opportunity, these wolf cavalry could be fatal under high-speed maneuvering.
"The main force of White Wolf Fort is all here..." Gu Sha sighed, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But do you think that if you press up like this, you can defeat us? How naive!"
When Dane's troops began to march continuously, the Iron Spike Hill Legion stopped moving after forming a defensive formation. Obviously, Gusha has already handed over the initiative, and after the iron bucket array is set up, it is waiting for you to chew on it.
As the attacking party, the White Wolf Fort Legion was not in a hurry, and their movements were still so smooth. When both sides have already made up their minds to play tricks and no one is ready to back down, then there is no need to worry at all, the fight will start sooner or later anyway.
The distance between the legions of the two sides is getting closer and closer. When they are separated by a few hundred meters, those with better eyesight can already clearly see the ferocious faces of the soldiers on the opposite side when they wave their weapons and shout loudly.
At this distance, the Iron Spike Hill Legion could no longer remain motionless. Following the instructions given by Gusha, the whole team started to move forward from the original place.
"Boom!" After several loud bangs, it was the artillery in Dane's army that fired first.
Nine cannons are lined up in a row, and the shells fired are very deterrent. Although some shells were emptied, the archer phalanx of the two Gusha's men, who were unlucky and hit directly, suffered a relatively heavy blow. Under the scene of flying yellow sand and flesh and blood, even if the standing formation was not dense, at least more than 20 archers died under this round of menacing artillery fire.
Seeing that there were so many cannons in Dane's army formation, Gusha's expression changed a little.
"I heard that there is a cannon-making workshop in White Wolf Fort, but it's only been a few months, and there are nine doors?" He felt a little headache, but he was not helpless.
With an order, the artillery of the Tiedinggang Legion also began to show their power.
His subordinates are not as luxurious as Dane, who can launch nine cannons. Those things are expensive, and the gunners are not easy to train. The price of cannonballs as consumables is even more expensive, even if Gusha is backed by Kangli's support , It is also difficult for him to come up with stronger long-range firepower.
He only had six cannons in his hand, and now they were all aimed at Dane's artillery position and started firing.
But there was no need to think about it at all. In such a confrontation, Dane must have taken advantage of it. The bombing power of the three extra artillery pieces was directly one-third higher.
During the two or three rounds of confrontation, the artillery formations of both sides suffered losses. In the case of White Wolf Fort, two artillery pieces were directly reimbursed, while the iron nail hill regiment's artillery had to pay four gunners for such a record.
However, the artillery can't kill the opponent, which is actually expected by Gusha. When he saw that other people had three more cannons than his own, he knew that anti-bombing would definitely not take advantage of it.
But so what? It would be naive to think that he has no other way to deal with the artillery of the White Wolf Fort Corps!
From the army formation of Tiedinggang, three groups of black lights gathered. In a blink of an eye, these three groups of black light merged into one, and the power of the shadows directly summoned a black gate in the artillery formation of the White Wolf Fort Corps, and countless tentacles stretched out from the gate, directly towards the nearby The artillery and gunners swept away.
In just a few moments, the black gate involved four cannons and their gunners. Then there was a bang, and the Dark Portal exploded and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind the wreckage of the four cannons crowded together.
This is the power of magic, which is far more terrifying than artillery on the battlefield! (To be continued.)
