Chapter 9 Retaliation 1
Chapter 9
This result caused the warring parties from the commander to the lowest soldiers from the heart to the traps. Except for the traps that made the Black Wolf Cavalry aerial man, the terrifying spear array that was more than eight meters long and used the trench in front of the defense line as a force point, which made everyone shudder.
How to break through this long-sting defense line has become the top priority for the commander of the Black Wolf Legion. Several senior officers of the Casdek Empire were also thinking about the "heedgehog formation" dyed red with blood in front of them.
There is basically no chance for rapid assault troops. Even those heavy cavalry seated with thick leather armor cannot defend against such sharp bamboo spears. Due to inertia, those bamboo spears can easily pierce leather armor and horses together, and heavy cavalry that loses war horses are not even as useful as a heavy infantry.
It seems that only by using heavy infantry, those with tower shields, and then supplemented with archers, can it be possible to destroy this defense line with bows and arrows at close range. (Long-range scattering does not have much damage to bamboo spearmen equipped with bamboo platoons)
Although the commanders of both sides of the war had preliminary ideas about how to attack this strange rainproof array, there was another problem in front of the Black Wolf Legion. That is, the Black Wolf Legion was a pure light cavalry legion, with 80,000 light cavalry from top to bottom. Not to mention heavy infantry, there was not even a formal light infantry. The Brown Bear Legion was slowly "climbing" a hundred miles away, hoping that they would not think about it. At that time, it was estimated that the infantry legion that the other party retreated from behind had already destroyed themselves from behind. What should we do?
Think about the explanation from the former Emperor about his explanation to himself, only by completely eliminating or besieging the army of the Casdek Empire, can the Federation use this to negotiate with the powerful Casdek Empire.

"Excellent! Half of the light cavalrymen in this division were destroyed by the tricks that kid thought of. It's so terrifying. If I were the ones, I would probably die there." After being stunned for a long time, Kevin finally squeezed out a sentence with admiration, surprise and Xiaoxing's words. Perhaps because he was too deeply touched, the commander of the Ex division nodded violently after hearing Kevin's words, and his face was full of fear. In their hearts, they even really hoped that he was the commander of the infantry division, rather than the commander of the current light cavalry division.
"I am looking forward to his performance below. I don't know how many more surprises he will give us. Let's pray for Hegma! I wish him a nightmare morning..." Ignoring the expressions of his two subordinates, Carcent, who was also surprised, began to pray for his place. But then, he, the young legion commander who was only 30 years old, made the corners of his mouth appear upward for the first time in this war.
"Perhaps, the war on the Phantom Demon Continent will change the future war mode because of this little guy's unexpected action. But I think at least the Creation God still stands on the side of the empire, allowing us to first have this talent that is beyond imagination. The Xia people are indeed synonymous with cleverness. Such a clever design and creative thinking, no wonder they can contribute nearly 1/4 of the treasury income to the empire with less than 1% of the empire's population. It is indeed very correct to let them enjoy treatment higher than ordinary civilians in the empire." Famir, who is the intelligence chief of the 103rd legion of the Casdek Empire, also joined the sigh.
"So, I hope everyone can protect him well. In our future war career, he will not only allow us to save our lives better, but also allow us to gain more and higher honors and status." Carcent's words deeply agreed with everyone around us.
"Look, our enemies who are not afraid of death are coming, but I don't know how many soldiers they are going to send off for this time?"
With Kevin's reminder, the Black Wolf Legion's mobilization in the front had ended, and a large number of light cavalry dismounted and became infantry. About 10,000 soldiers held up all the covers they could find, from regular shields, all the way to saddle leather armored marching pots. Behind them, nearly 10,000 light cavalrymen holding bows and arrows. At the end, there were two rows of light cavalry, each with a division.
In this way, everyone could see that the Black Wolf Cavalry would make a desperate bet, and the troops invested this time even reached the top 2/3 of the current Black Wolf Legion's troops. And beside their legion commander Hegma, there was only one division and his guards left.
Faced with the tens of thousands of troops in front of me, Xin Ding, who has not yet woken up from the blood of the previous war, has to face a stronger opponent again. Win, then I will be able to guarantee my life safety for the time being; lose, then what is waiting for me is basically death.
"Arrower prepares, target enemy archers!"
"Prepare the catapult, target the enemy infantry!"
With the shouts of the lower commanders, the soldiers who had just calmed down from their excitement immediately showed their qualified military qualities. When the voices of those commanders fell, almost all the soldiers were already in place, and the archers and arrows pointed in front of them, and the selected pike-operating soldiers who were more flexible and smart, had already filled the catapult with stones...
"Apart from the archers starting to scatter, everyone is not allowed to move arbitrarily..." Looking at the infantry running and approaching the middle, I stopped the soldiers from eager to try. Due to the outstanding performance of the battle just now, all the subordinate commanders and soldiers cooperated very much to suppress their excitement. The casualties of 500 soldiers and the destruction of 10,000 Black Wolf Cavalry made me transform from a strange guy into a cute sinister in the hearts of the soldiers.
When the enemy infantry approached 500 meters, the expected rain of arrows did not fall on their heads. 400 meters, and there was still no response. This made the Black Wolf Legion, from the commander to the ordinary soldiers, think that the other party has no arrows. Until it approached 300 meters, everyone from Hegma to the Black Wolf Legion believed that the other party's arrows had been exhausted or could no longer support the consumption of the war.
Under this idea, Hegma immediately allowed the light cavalry, which was 300 meters behind the infantry, to speed up the speed of the march, and strive to exterminate the opponent with an overwhelming superior force. At the same time, the infantry in front eliminated the traps that made his army play the "Peeppa Cavalry" to reduce unnecessary damage to the cavalry troops.
But when his order had just begun to be implemented in the army ahead, a change began again. A scene that stunned him appeared in the position of the Casdek Imperial Army and the bamboo forest behind them.
