In the eyes of women who are passionately in love, no matter what their men do, they are the best. Even if a man cleans the toilet, in their eyes, it is also a kind of exercise.
Beta and a hundred professionals stayed at the back.
Generally speaking, people with Beta's strength must at least appear on the front line. After all, as long as a magician is on the big battlefield, he can always display his extremely strong strength.
Leaving powerful mages behind, saying it is protection, is actually a form of suppression in disguise.
Everyone understands this. However, Long Yas used a hundred professionals as Beta's subordinates, and used reasons such as protecting the command camp to make this suppression less obvious. Everyone knew that Long Yas might be suppressing Beta, but no one Feel wrong.
Except for Tina.
Beta was also one of the people who didn't care. He knew that he would be suppressed, so he was an outsider. But he also knows better that his credit cannot be erased. He could even see that Long Yas was also distressed. He obviously had a powerful professional on his side, but he couldn't use it at will. After all, he couldn't really believe it. find it unbearable.
If an ordinary commander encounters this situation, he will definitely send people to the battlefield regardless of the situation.
But apart from being the commander in chief, Long Yas is also one of the top officials in the sanctuary.
He has to consider more things from the 'big picture'.
War is essentially an extension of politics.
Beta fully implemented the order of Longyas. He brought hundreds of professionals and stationed near the commander's camp.
The Commander's Battalion is on a relatively high ground, so that you can see the situation on the battlefield at a glance. Beta and the others stayed on a small hill two hundred meters away from the Big String Orchestra.
There is nothing on this mountain, only the yellow grass, and the terrain is much higher than the commander's camp. On the battlefield, people can be seen stationed here from a distance.
"They are using us as bait." A soldier sat on the grass, looking at the commander's tent hidden in the bushes not far away, and said very unhappy.
After the commander's tent went up to the small hill over there, he immediately used magic to move some trees and bushes to cover the commander's tent more secretly. In this way, Longyas can observe the battlefield through the gaps in the vegetation, but the enemy may not be able to find him.
Beta admired Long Yas's hidden consciousness, but he might not have much affection for his behavior of using his group of people as bait.
Although it is said that on the battlefield, there will always be such bait, and the selected troops will feel that they are unlucky, but when Beta is in the game, if he wants to be a bait, he always leads the troops himself.
There is an essential difference between 'give me' and 'follow me'.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with what the archbishop in red did. In this world, not many generals are willing to take the lead. What he did was normal, but it was only natural for others to feel uncomfortable.
"We are outsiders after all. Sanctuary is not willing to let us gain military exploits, and put us in such a dangerous bait position. To be honest, I really want to go back to being a mercenary."
A middle-aged mercenary soldier said with a sigh.
His statement has attracted the approval of many people.
Beta said at this time: "But it's easier than being a mercenary, isn't it? Besides, we are just acting as bait, but in essence, the danger is really not as great as the soldiers on the front line."
In this world, whether someone listens to what a person says depends on his strength.
Power, money, own power.
Everyone can see that the young man in front of him is related to all three. He is an aristocrat, and the aristocrats will definitely not be poor. Then, with his own strength, no one would think that he is weak if he can single out a paladin.
So as soon as Beta's words came out, the mercenaries became quiet. After thinking about it carefully, they also felt that Beta's words were quite reasonable.
Although being in the sanctuary is a bit unfriendly, but at least there is not so much danger. It has been many years before there is a bait mission.
If it was in the mercenary world, it would have been unknown how many life-and-death lore had been experienced.
Whether people think they are happy or not often needs to be compared. The professionals feel that they are treated as outsiders in the sanctuary, so they feel aggrieved. But when he compared with those colleagues who were still wallowing in the mud of the mercenary world, he suddenly felt that his life didn't seem too bad now.
Seeing that the professionals were no longer commotion, Beta smiled slightly.
Although he himself doesn't like to be the bait of others, but it's a done deal, instead of complaining here, it's better to cheer up, deal with this task well, and try to survive as much as possible.
Among the crowd, a middle-aged archer nodded slightly, very satisfied with Beta's move.
Beta and the others waited on the top of the hill for a while, and then saw a small flag appearing in the commander's camp, waved it a few times, and then a larger flag appeared on a shorter hill not far away, and painted it like this gourd.
Then there was another larger military flag waving on the front line of the Chinese army.
Passive command
Seeing this scene, Beta had a more intuitive understanding of Longyas' caution. Doing this way can prevent the commander's tent from being discovered, and there are Beta and the others staying on the highest hill as bait, which is extremely obvious.
With the waving of the military flag, the three legions of the Chinese army moved forward slowly.
Each of these three legions has nearly 20,000 people, and then there is a legion on the left and right flanks, and the legion on the right flank is still a cavalry force of nearly 4,000 people.
On the opposite side, there are also seven legions. Each of them has a slightly smaller number of people, but together, their number is about the same as that of the Light God's Cult Army.
The combined strength of the two sides is already almost 200,000.
If militias such as logistics are included, the number is almost 300,000.
This is the mobilization power of a superpower, and this is still a local war.
Compared with Frans, Hollevin's war was almost like a county magistrate's level of fighting. The total number of people on the battlefield can reach tens of thousands, which is already remarkable.
The three forwards of the Guangming Temple Army kept pressing forward. The heavy infantrymen in white armor and white shields held up their spears and stomped step by step. Every step they took was almost on the beat of the drum.
When not more than 20,000 people stepped on the ground at the same time, even if they didn't use much force, the sound of 20,000 footsteps mixed together, the sound was heavy and heavy, and each step seemed to be like thunder from the sky.
Behind the infantry there was a drum band of about a hundred people. Under the protection of the shield soldiers, they beat the drums according to the established rhythm. The infantry marched to the beat of their drums.
A legion of 20,000 people cannot be commanded well on the battlefield by shouting alone. It must have special means, such as flag orders, or such drums.
Behind the drum band is a small group of archers. The Light God Sect is not good at training archers, so most of the archers are recruited by folks. Without large-scale training, there must not be many people there.
Behind it is the special unit of the Temple of Light, the low-level chaplain.
These chaplains wear heavy armor and hold square towers and one-handed hammers. They can charge into battle, cast spells to attack, protect, and rule allies.
It can be said that the army chaplain has the strongest comprehensive ability besides the cavalry.
Even if there are not many heavy cavalry, it is not easy to penetrate a corps of chaplains with more than a thousand soldiers.
The three standard Guangming Temple legions pressed forward, and each step forward put great pressure on the enemy.
On the other side of Gruul's leadership, five of the seven legions faced the Light God Cult army head-on, but when they were about to meet the enemy, they stopped.
The infantry in the front row squatted down, and the archers in the back directly faced the Light God Religion Army with a wave of arrows.
At least 10,000 arrows were launched into the sky at the same time, and the black ground was like a blanket, and then fell into the formation of the three Bright Temple Army in a parabola.
Standing on the high hillside in the distance, all the professionals couldn't help swallowing when they saw this scene.
The soldiers of the Light God Religion Army had already held their shields above their heads, and the robes in front and behind them also held their iron shields above their heads and pressed each other, like roof tiles.
The tiles can keep out the rain, and the 'roof' composed purely of shields can naturally prevent the rain of arrows.
These arrows landed on the shield and were bounced off. Only a few unlucky ghosts were injured by the leaked arrows because of the gaps between the shields.
The Guangming God's Army continued to move forward without stopping.
Gruulling continued to try to shoot two waves of arrows. After seeing that there was no effect, the archers began to retreat, while the infantry stood up.
The army in the middle of Gruul's collar began to retreat slowly, while the four armies on the left and right spread out and moved forward.
After a while, it formed a U shape, surrounding the three Guangming God Religion Army.
Beta was a little surprised when he saw this scene on the hillside. Why did he rush in when he knew that the other party was going to make dumplings? What is Longyas planning to do
At this moment, Beta noticed that the cavalry regiment on the right wing of the Temple of Light Army moved. They cashed in at full speed from the right side, rushed directly to the enemy's outflanking for a moment, and rushed in through the gap created by the right wing regiment.
"So that's the idea." Beta understood.
Generally speaking, when outflanking the enemy, one must speed up the shrinking of the defense line, and the opponent is all infantry, and it is easy for the legion defending the flanks and the legion responsible for outflanking to fail to cooperate.
Then there was a gap in the line.
The mobility of the cavalry was too strong, and 4,000 cavalry rushed in directly through the gap in front of the enemy, attacking the enemy's rear line like a gust of wind.
The enemy's defenseless legion, although trying their best to rush over, was still a step too late, and only saw the dust raised by the cavalry.
"The people led by Gruul are all idiots." A mercenary who knew a little bit about battlefield command laughed when he saw this scene: "The next step is for the cavalry to break through the enemy's camp. Victory is within easy reach."
Beta smiled: "Not necessarily."
