Hackett sensed the danger.
From the beginning of this battle, the confrontation between the artillery and magic power of the two sides, the confrontation between the archers behind, and the real hand-to-hand combat between the main armies of the two sides, my side is undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Among them, even if he had double the number of people, he still failed to gain any advantage on the battlefield.
Although, in fact, the battle has not yet reached a real climax, and both sides still have a lot of power that has not been formally put into the battlefield. For example, he, Hackett, still held most of the infantry of the Lost City, and Dane also had two multi-regiment fighters who did not join the battlefield.
But judging from the current situation, Hackett already felt a strong sense of frustration.
The team of warlocks who joined first, on top of the three towers, thought they could use the power of condescending spells to gain an overwhelming advantage as soon as they made a move. As a result, although the artillery formation that cleared Dane was pretty good at the beginning, it was completely wiped out by a surprise attack by the Griffon cavalry. In the battle in the sky, due to the inexplicably doubling of the number of Griffon cavalry in Dane's army, a squadron of bat cavalry he had prepared in advance was completely insufficient, and they were being chased around in mid-air at the moment.
Coupled with the confrontation of archers and the confrontation of heavy infantry, they can't win all of them. Hackett has already begun to doubt deeply in his heart, how can he win this battle
The only thing that can be talked about is the situation where the army led by Galvin and Anders is fighting against the main force of Oze on the other side.
In the morning, the three warlocks who were in charge of the Northern Army, the three of them already felt that Dane and Oze were very likely to launch a general attack on them today. They urgently formulated a strategy, and put the main target on Ou Ze.
This doesn't mean that they don't value Dane, on the contrary, they do. Although Dane's men were not many, the combat effectiveness of this group of soldiers had been mentioned many times in the information they received in the past. Including the combat effectiveness of the previous two days, they also felt how difficult Dane's troops were. It was precisely because of this that they did not dare to target Dane as the main target.
In their view, the 5,000 people in Dane's hands wanted to be eaten in one go, and they didn't know how many troops would be invested to do it. Twenty thousand people are not safe at all! Maybe, 20,000 people can defeat Dane's main force, but they may be entangled, and no one can predict how long it will be entangled. Thirty thousand people might be a relatively safe number. If there were six times the strength, Dane should be able to be defeated with the momentum of thunder.
But if you really want to use 30,000 soldiers to deal with Dane, how can you fight against the 27,000 soldiers from Ou Ze? Perhaps, as soon as Dane was cleaned up over there, Oze's army here has already bit their ass, and the subsequent attack is likely to directly defeat their own troops.
This is an unacceptable strategy. No matter how much Hackett, Galvin, and Anders gritted their teeth against Dane, they couldn't make fun of the safety of the entire army.
In this way, changing the target to Ou Ze may be an acceptable way.
The choice they made was to allocate 10,000 people to Hackett. His task was to entangle Dane on the eastern battlefield, not to win, but at least to block Dane. With twice the troop configuration, even if they can't beat Dane's elite troops, logically speaking, they can at least be able to fight evenly. Even a slight disadvantage is acceptable. As long as it keeps Dane from showing up to make trouble.
In order to achieve this goal, besides the 10,000 soldiers, Hackett has deployed a lot of high-level troops such as two squadrons of bat cavalry and three warlock towers.
As for the other side, Galvin and Anders led the remaining nearly 30,000 soldiers, gathered other elite forces in the legion, and fought against Oze to the death! They also don't seek a quick victory, but according to Galvin's estimation, they feel that their strength is slightly higher than that of the Ozer Legion, and the elite strength of the advanced units is not bad at all, so they should be quite victorious hopefully.
Not long after the strategy was formulated, the war broke out after noon. According to the strategy of the Northern Army Group, the battle in the east went smoothly. Although the troops led by Galvin and Anders may not be much stronger than Oze's army in terms of strength, in terms of the form of the war, they fought well. Especially after the Shadow Warlock Group was taken out, Oze's army didn't seem to have any good way to deal with the enemy's magic bombardment, so it was at a disadvantage.
But Hackett is in big trouble. Even if the current war process is not too long, both sides still have a lot of power that has not been invested in the battlefield, but the high-level warlock has already felt extremely heavy pressure.
He was thinking, should he think of another way? For example... draw some more troops from Galvin and the others
Thinking of this, Hackett turned his head and looked towards the east. The situation is not bad. The Ouze Legion, which launched an offensive on its own initiative, has already been suppressed in the first round of offensive. Under the pursuit of our own side, Ou Ze's army resisted desperately, but the overall formation seemed to be forced back step by step.
Hackett was even more confused. He thought for a while, Galvin and Anders had already gained the upper hand, so it shouldn't hurt to send some troops over, right? After a while, he thought again, the two of them managed to gain an advantage with almost the same strength, what if some people were transferred to come over and ruin the advantage they had finally established
And just when he was wavering and struggling, the battle situation in front of him suddenly changed drastically!
Dane's Second Squadron is taking action!
Fifteen hundred soldiers, maneuvering at high speed, bypassed the heavy infantry fighting fiercely from the left flank of the battlefield, and directly inserted into the position near the rear!
When Hackett turned his mind back to the battlefield from the entanglement, he suddenly discovered that the troop mobilized by Dane was currently in an extremely dangerous position! If they continue to come towards his main formation, they will directly threaten the central army where they are; and they only need to turn a small direction, and they can respond to the white wolves from the flanks of the battle group between the heavy infantry in the center. Guards, directly assault your own heavy infantry regiment!
The situation is critical! (To be continued.)
