Chapter 353: Field Battle (1)
"Sir, what if the enemy protects their fortress cannons?" asked the No. 1 mage. He asked everyone, and he also knew that Lord Asra wanted to give the answer.
"What can I do? Charge against the fortress cannon, just like the undead. We have magicians who can weaken the power of the fortress cannon and are stronger than the undead. And now the teams in our hands do not need to be densely formed, but they are also lethal."
The magicians immediately understood that Xia He had a team of five people in the army. If it spread out, as long as the magical sounds were synchronized, the magician commanded fifty people to fire at the same time, and the attack power was still very strong.
These fifty people may have spread out within a range of hundreds of meters. The fortress cannon was bombarded with one shot, and even if they hit, they would not kill a few people.
If it were the original intensive charge and attacking the city, many people would die.
"We are not the main force of the siege. At that time, most of you will have to go on magic airships to protect zombies."
"Sir, that zombie looks... quite terrible!" a magician said with courage.
"It is essentially a puppet, and the core magic structure is impossible to attack us."
Xia He said as he took out a scroll and expanded it, with a magic circle drawn on it.
"You all come and have a look."
Upon hearing this, the mages came over to observe carefully. After a while, they all looked strange.
"Things that were abandoned once, right? It's expensive to form a magic circle by people. But now our soldiers are equipped with miniature magic furnaces, and they don't do anything normally, and they also have continuous consumption. If they are used as nodes of the magic circle, it's equivalent to saving."
After Xia He said this, the magicians gave me another feeling. Why didn’t I expect this?
"But it's very difficult to rehearse this thing. Even professional soldiers need to train for about half a year to get used to it. However, once the layout is formed, if the army enters in the future, the things will be simple."
"You can first look at these formation maps and get familiar with it. I can't do it myself in training the army." Xia He assigned the tasks, so the magicians had to do it.
The twenty newly added combat mages also felt trust in Xia He.
Xia He became the lord himself and did everything himself. Now he is fighting for others, but he can become the boss of the hand.
The mission of this day was over, and no undead appeared around him, and the entire camp fell into silence. The demon deer was asleep, and the patrol soldiers returned and shrank in the tent on the edge of the camp. The weather was too cold, even the thick leather robe could not match a bowl of hot soup.
Xia He's spiritual sense swept through the camp and sighed in his heart. This was already a good army, but it still did not meet the minimum standards of the Shenzhou Empire.
The Emperor of God Zhou essentially had no nobles, only citizens.
All citizens are soldiers who once fought in another world. No one is born with power. Citizen soldiers of the Shenzhou Empire, the Empire will give high-level potions to increase the level of life and increase the lifespan. Each citizen soldier is a qualified commander. If he is sent to another world, he can lead the natives of another world and command an army of no less than 500 people.
After resting for a night, the next day before dawn, the soldiers got up and prepared food.
In this cold weather, the Imperial Marine requires that it must have a hot diet, and even in a marching process, it must be guaranteed. Otherwise, the soldiers' combat effectiveness will be quite large and they will easily get sick.
The smoke from the cooking stove was very light and the magicians went to clean up the surrounding mage's eyes and basically couldn't use it.
Some soldiers went to feed the deer, some mages went to check the airships, and some people went to check the vehicles, clear the snow, so that the chariots pulled by the Trojan could be on the road.
The guard posts outside the camp were blocked by snow, but the guard post was originally built of ice and snow, and the soldiers were no longer inside and were abandoned.
Four squadrons patrolled nearby, all with magical alarms on them.
The camp began to have sound and color. On the white ice field, three thousand people were so small.
Xia He carried the magic deer and did not allow soldiers to ride on battles, mainly for training. In the following days, he encountered the undead constantly. Xia He simply fought patiently and refused to waste it. He refined the undead materials and tried to maintain a speed of 300 miles a day.
After leaving the ice field, the terrain lowered, the wind was not so strong, and vegetation began to appear.
Trees that have lost their leaves seem very helpless on the plains.
After getting off the ice field, Xia He asked 500 soldiers to ride the Demon Deer and walk in front of the team. The 500 people were still equipped with their original equipment, and the Demon Deer also changed its armor, all of which were defensive to long-range weapons.
The princess' central army sent someone to tell Xia He that he would wait half a day.
The princess' army was attacked by the undead. Although no one died, many soldiers were injured. The attack occurred on the right wing, and Macbeth's speed did not maintain, and it was staggered with the princess' army.
Angelina was very angry. She didn't expect Macbeth to block the army of undead, but she didn't even have a warning on the right wing, which was a shame.
Xia He had no intention of competing for favor. When he heard the news, he didn't reply a word, and just said that he would wait.
Xiahe camped on a forest of woods, raised a fire, and roasted the frozen meat she carried, just as a rest. A small magic airship floated in the air to monitor the surroundings. Before the princess arrived, a human army appeared in the distance.
Xia He made a porcelain doll, and asked the porcelain doll to drive a chariot, and waited for five soldiers to greet them.
As a result, the army launched an attack without asking questions.
Xiahe was too far away to command the porcelain dolls. The porcelain dolls and soldiers lost contact in a very short time.
Xia He was furious and immediately ordered a thousand people. He and Medielli each led five hundred, rode the magic deer, and killed them out of the camp.
More than ten miles away, in the snow, there are bright red colors everywhere.
Xia He's porcelain doll has been blown up, the chariot has been destroyed by magic, and all the five soldiers on it have died.
The blood on the snow was left by the army opposite.
More than 500 people attacked a chariot, and more than 300 were killed by porcelain and soldiers' muskets. The commanding officers were all dead, and no low-level officer survived.
Xia He didn't care how miserable they were. He rushed up from afar, with less than two hundred people remaining, and were shot to death by soldiers riding the Demon Deer.
Xiahe collects spoils mainly by looking at the enemy's military emblem.
This army came from a small nobleman in the north. Xia He only remembered that the nobleman's ethnic group was quite prosperous, although it was just an earl, and it occupied more land than a marquis.
Xia He regretted it a little. After entering the north, it was all enemies, so he shouldn't have let the soldiers block the road and ask questions.
Just start the fight, I am not here to negotiate anyway.
For no reason, five soldiers died and walked out of the ice field. It was fine to meet so many undead, which made Xia He feel confused.
These five hundred people appeared next to the ice field, and they were targeting the princess.
Xia He felt something was wrong, so he immediately turned around, strengthened the camp, and moved out the magic cannon. The magic cannon could not be installed on the chariot, at least the chariot level brought by Xia He was not enough.
Unless it is a miniature magic cannon, if a normal magic cannon wants to fire, it must have a magic base, preferably installed on the ground, and the ground must also be magical, which is strong enough.
Xia He hurriedly arranged a magic cannon, allowing the airship to take off, and then arranged a crossbow cannon on the edge of the camp. The main reason was that the enemy had large puppets and other things, or the enemy had advanced chariots and could carry magic cannons, so he had to use a giant crossbow and his magic cannon to fight back together.
After the camp was arranged, the soldiers hurriedly ate a barbecue and took turns to equip the armor.
Xia He then asked Medierli to take two hundred people out to investigate the news.
More than two hours later, Medilly escaped with two hundred people. She told Xia Hedao: "There is an army with a number of no less than five thousand people, and it seems to be a forward. Someone must have leaked the news and knew that the princess came here, so he had to intercept it halfway."
Xia He immediately sent an order to lay a camouflage net in the camp, and then he and Medielli brought a thousand soldiers and prepared to attack.
The battle mages dissuaded: "Sir, we can wait for our hard work in the camp. If the enemies are five thousand, the number of magicians will not be too small."
Xia Hexin said that he had enough trouble for Angelina, and there was no truth. He originally said that he could not refine zombies, but he got five hundred at a time. He scolded Macbeth again, and had to let the princess take care of the bottom line.
If the army does not attack now, if it sets up camp and blocks itself between itself and the ice field, and the large army arrives, it will have no hope of defeating it.
Three thousand people fought in the field, and although the equipment was novel, Xia He was not sure. After all, the enemy was not an undead, and all kinds of tactics belonged to the empire and were very complete. If there were too many magicians, there would be more than ten thousand people, so I would not have much hope to win.
"In this way, Medierli, you will take another two hundred people out and lure them over. The camp people withdraw 2,000, leaving only one thousand. The rest of the people are ambushing outside with me. As long as they attack the camp, we will raid them behind us."
The magicians stopped persuading him. If the blood mage decides what to do, the princess may not be able to stop him. Besides, if this northern army is not destroyed, it will be too dangerous to join together when their army arrives.
Two thousand people were pointed out on Xiahe and divided them to Medierli with two hundred. The rest were all wearing white cloaks, riding the magic deer, bypassing the woods, and ambushing five miles to the west.
Medilly led two hundred people, but this time she did not go to investigate and directly faced the army.
