Chapter 87: Nameless Pass Offensive and Defensive Battle (Part 1)
In this way, this Holy Night Army's mixed demon battle brigade began to march in the direction of the battlefield in a mighty manner.
At the same time, Lei Xiao quickly figured out the specific configuration of this unit.
The first to open the way is the second-order heavy knight squadron directly under the vice-captain Mora.
On the left and right flanks of the team were two squadrons of light knights.
Sandwiched in the middle were three magician squadrons led by Captain Yes, a healing squadron mixed with priests and heavy infantry, and a light infantry guard squadron in the rear.
"The formation of the marching army is quite organized.
In the event of a sudden encounter with the enemy, a squadron of one heavy, four light five knights, using high mobility, can quickly disperse the opponent's formation.
Afterwards, the magician troops of the Central Army will give a long-range fatal blow. Repeatedly, the heavy infantry phalanx with the strongest defense might not last a few rounds. "
While pondering, the temporary mixed squadron led by Lei Xiao also started to move forward.
As for their position, they are in front of the last guard squadron, and they are also responsible for the guard work of the entire team.
"It seems that the other party really didn't take this temporary team seriously.
However, this is indeed the most reasonable arrangement. "
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was easily carrying the great sword, continued to think while looking left and right.
After advancing to the second rank, he could swing these tens of kilograms of giant sharp blades freely.
"Speaking of which, at present, the area where we are located is protected by cavalry on the flanks, and there is a guard squadron behind it, which can already be regarded as a relatively safe position in the entire brigade.
In this way, even if it is a sudden encounter with the Leng Yan Army, we can have more time to react and make arrangements. "
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao slowly retracted his gaze, moved his gaze slightly upward, and began to cross the team of magicians walking in front of him, and looked at the commander, Baron Yes, who was riding a horse in the middle of the army.
"The most important thing is that through this rare opportunity for actual combat, we can undoubtedly observe the formation and battle between the Cold Flame Army and the Holy Night Army at close range.
Lay a solid foundation for future conflicts.
After all, the more you know about your opponent, the better your chances of winning will be. "
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the team that was advancing in front suddenly stopped.
At the same time, the middle-aged messenger in the central army began to ride his horse and whip his whip, galloping towards the team behind.
I saw him holding up the red command flag and shouting: "An enemy army with a size of about a brigade is found ahead. All units are ready to meet the enemy according to the predetermined formation!"
"My dear, the fight is going to start so soon?"
Hearing this, he first signaled the five subordinates surrounding him not to act rashly. Then, Lei Xiao began to command the squadron and, following the instructions of the messenger, came to the designated standby position.
At this time, the four light knight squadrons on the two wings of the team had all moved to the positions of the front army.
Together with the heavy knight squadron that was already there, they formed a cone-shaped formation like an arrow.
At a glance, five hundred cavalry phalanxes were in a neat formation, and the dark blue battle flag was flying.
The horses under the cavalry's crotch made a low neighing noise as they walked on the spot.
A full 500 lances, more than two meters long, pointed directly at the enemy formation on the opposite side. There was no doubt about it. The death of the film.
As for the temporary squadron commanded by Lei Xiao, it was arranged on the left flank of the three magician phalanxes of the central army along with the two heavy infantry squadrons of the treatment squadron he belonged to, and was responsible for protecting the safety of the flanks and rear.
On the opposite side, at the edge of a narrow pass a thousand meters away, flames and flags were flying.
It can be vaguely seen that a large number of Leng Yan Army heavy infantry armed with giant shields are waiting in battle, and relying on the terrain, an indestructible line of defense has been established here.
Speaking of which, Lei Xiao had already observed this mountain pass before he came to this town.
The surrounding terrain can be described as extremely steep, and it is the only way to go to the main battlefield in the nearby area.
However, this also means that it is impossible for the Leng Yan army on the opposite side to hide the ambush on the steep cliff.
"It seems that this nameless pass attack and defense battle is inevitable."
Thinking of this, through the gap in the helmet, Lei Xiao's gaze involuntarily moved to a small wood next to the pass, revealing a brooding look.
There is no doubt that if the opponent has an ambush, it must be hidden here.
"Lord Lord, there is some movement in the forest." At this moment, the voice of the knotweed rang in Lei Xiao's ears.
"Oh? Is there really an ambush?"
On the other side, looking not far away, the scouts who rode out to investigate have just returned, and Lei Xiao thought thoughtfully: "So that's the case, the other party sneaked into the forest to ambush after his scouts finished their investigation.
It seems that the commander of the other party is also quite a man of skill. "
"Lord Lord, this is not the most important thing."
Immediately afterwards, the rough voice of the knotweed rang again: "These ambush troops have been subjected to the fourth-order advanced concealment ~ Not to mention the two third-order commanders of the Holy Night Army, Even if an ordinary fourth-order powerhouse comes, it is impossible to detect it."
"So, there is a fourth-order powerhouse in the opponent's camp?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao's face hidden behind the closed helmet, couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.
"Returning to the Lord, I did not find the breath of a fourth-order powerhouse.
The subordinate guessed that the other party should have used the magic scroll that sealed the fourth-order group concealment technique. "
While carefully perceiving every move in the forest, the knotweed replied respectfully.
"In this way, the Holy Night Army where we are, is afraid that it will suffer a loss. If the other party implements a counter-charge, it will directly threaten our side for a while."
Reluctantly, he pouted, and while thinking to himself, Lei Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
"Lord Lord, what should we do now? Tell the other party directly, is there an ambush in the forest?"
In order not to attract the attention of others, the knotweed leaned on Lei Xiao's side again and asked.
"No, in this way, even if this crisis is resolved, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance and suspicion of the other party."
Shaking his head resolutely, Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and then said to the tiger stick: "How many people are there in ambush on the other side?"
"Reporting to the lord, if the subordinates have a good guess, it should be two longbow squadrons, most of which are first-order strength, mixed with a small number of second-order powerhouses."
Knotweed again, pulling on the plate armor that didn't fit very well, and responded.
"Understood, then let's just take action and help the other side clear these threats." Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao's eyes began to sharpen.
