Chapter 653: Stone-throwing trick
"Woo!" The loud horn sounds sounded one after another, which was a signal to rush into battle.
The generals of each legion in Doguland were ready to go, with King Kong's eyes glaring angrily. Some generals even personally grabbed the legion's flag and waved it in the air. The flags were fluttering, and the soldiers under their command were also excited, and they all let out murderous war cries, such as
The roar of thunder is unstoppable!
The Doguland vanguard troops were in a dark state, with strict formations and high morale.
On the other side, the Far East army was already ready to move forward.
Soon, the two sides broke through the safe distance and clashed.
Doguland's front row death squads are armed with heavy stainless steel shields, which arrows cannot penetrate at all. Even if a Far Eastern marksman aims at the gap in the shield and shoots at the rear, it will be blocked by the heavy armor worn by the soldiers, and will not be able to suppress it at all.
effect.
Most of the frontline troops in the Far East are spear phalanxes. This type of troops is very effective against light armored infantry or cavalry charging into the formation. But when faced with heavy armored troops holding large shields, the spears are like toothpicks, and the soldiers' hands are sore when they stab them.
It can't break armor either.
After the two sides met in close combat, due to the restraint of their troops, the Doguland army quickly broke through the Far East Front. These heavily armored soldiers were undoubtedly humanoid meat grinders in the melee, killing the enemy and retreating in a very short period of time.
However, the battlefield was changing rapidly. After the Dogulland army won the first round of charge, before they could cheer and boost their morale, destruction befell them.
The soldiers had just used their knives to scrape off the flesh and blood on their armor, when they suddenly felt the surrounding light dim. They raised their heads and found dense black spots appearing in the sky, growing larger and larger.
As the sharp sound of breaking through the air penetrated their ears from far to near, the soldiers were shocked to find that they were huge rocks!
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!" A large number of boulders drew sharp arcs in the air, crashing into the Doguland army formation like raindrops.
The stones falling from the sky had great kinetic energy, which could not be resisted by armor at all. The heavy armored soldier array was smashed to pieces, and a large number of soldiers were crushed with blood and flesh by the boulders. Even those "lucky ones" who were only scratched were unavoidable.
His muscles and bones were broken, blood spurted out from his face, and he lay paralyzed on the ground unable to move.
What is even more shocking is that the Far Eastern Army did not care about friends and foes when throwing boulders, and actually bombarded them indiscriminately!
At this time, a frontline commander who was struggling to support glanced to the side. There was a corpse of a Far Eastern soldier pressed by a boulder. He was shocked to find that the corpse actually had a "low status" mark on its arm!
Looking at the corpses of other Far Eastern soldiers, they all have such marks!
The lowly people in the Far Eastern Dynasty are equivalent to the slaves in Doguland. They are all at the bottom of society and are regarded as "animals".
The frontline commander just woke up from a dream and realized that he had been tricked!
The reason why the charge went so smoothly just now is because the Far East did not intend to fight directly. They deliberately mobilized a large number of cheap people, disguised these worthless people as soldiers and put them on the front line to lure the regular Doguland troops to come and kill them.
, and then throw boulders to smash everyone indiscriminately.
For the Far Eastern Dynasty, it doesn't matter if there are as many lowly statuses as there are hundreds of thousands dead.
On the contrary, Doguland's vanguard troops are all elites who have been trained through hard work, especially those heavy armor soldiers. Ordinary soldiers have no strength to control heavy armor at all. Those who can wear heavy armor and charge into battle are all innately excellent in physical fitness.
Strictly trained professional soldiers are each made with military expenditures, and every one of them dies will be a loss.
This practice of exchanging lowly status for a vanguard undoubtedly hits Doguland's weakness.
The Doguland vanguard troops were originally at their peak, but the huge boulders in the sky were a blow to their heads, shattering their morale that had been built up to its peak.
If it were a head-on fight, they would all have the consciousness to fight to the death, but falling into a trap like this, being exchanged for their lives by a group of lowly people with no status, no one could accept it in their hearts.
The Doguland vanguard front began to loosen up, and the heavily armored soldiers fled in all directions to avoid the boulders that were thrown at them. The soldiers who could not dodge were smashed to pieces with their bones falling apart, blood spattered ten steps, and screams were everywhere. For a moment, the formation was in chaos.
, the number of casualties increased rapidly
When the ground troops launched the attack, the air troops were not idle either.
Doguland's air power is mainly the "Banshee Legion". This legion has the "Twenty-Four Dragonriders of the Cold Valley" and a large number of winged beast cavalry. Their responsibilities are advance aerial reconnaissance, hinterland raids, battlefield support, etc.
Because of the special nature of the air force, the Banshee's casualty rate has always been the lowest among all legions, but this does not mean that their duties are easy.
For example, now, if the ground troops are ambushed and beaten to death by huge rocks, the Banshee must be responsible for finding the source of the attack, clearing it out at targeted locations, and providing cover for the ground troops.
At this time, Resakhar personally led several dragon knights, including Lorna, hovering in the sky. They had found the enemy's position. The Far East heavy-armed troops occupied a Gobi rift valley, which contained a large number of trebuchets.
Many boulders were thrown from here.
The four dragon knights had already dived towards the rift valley. Hot dragon breath was sprayed down one after another. Pillars of fire rose into the sky, but they failed to significantly suppress the Far East's heavy-armed troops. Huge boulders still fell on the frontal battlefield like heavy rain.
Not long after, four dragon knights took off one after another and returned to the queue. One of them reported to Resakhar with a solemn expression: "General, the situation is not good. The vertical drop in this rift valley is very large, and the dragon's breath will be blown along the way.
The stone wall has weakened, and the spray at the bottom no longer has much power."
Resakhar stared at the rifts, frowned and asked, "Can I just dive in?"
The dragon knight shook his head: "No, the rift is very narrow. If an adult dragon dives in, it will be stuck, and it will be used as a target by the defensive ballista inside."
"Let me go!" Suddenly, Lorna instigated Feiye to come to Resakhar and said quickly, "The adult dragon can't get in, but my Feiye can. It is still in its infancy and is very small. I
You can rush into the rift with it and destroy those trebuchets."
Resakhar frowned: "No."
Lorna asked anxiously: "Why?!"
Lesakhar said in a deep voice: "The situation in the Rift Valley is unknown. I don't know how many anti-aircraft equipment there are. You are the only daughter of my eldest brother. If something happens inside, how can I explain it to my eldest brother?"
After hearing this, Lorna's red eyes seemed to be burning with anger. She pointed to the frontal battlefield where blood and flesh were everywhere, and said seriously: "Most of those soldiers who fought bloody battles are only children in the family. With a military order, they will
If I rush to the front line without hesitation, why should I be special?!"
