Chapter 152

The low and desolate sound of the horn and the rapid and shocking sound of the war drum resounded through the sky.

Following the rhythm of the battle drums, a secret army that had been hiding all the time finally came out in formation and ran towards the front line calmly and quickly.

The battlefield chosen by General Franky was not open, which to a certain extent suppressed the numerical advantage of the Aberdeen army.The Taranto rebels were able to fight their opponents vigorously and stalemate, which is also a very important factor.

Thousands of soldiers scattered on this battlefield, like ants in an ant nest, densely covered the ground.The soldiers in front were cut down to the ground, and the people behind were pushed forward by the crowd, rushing forward involuntarily, stepping on the fallen comrades to fill the vacancy in the front line.

Mr. Qian and even the captain and other middle and high-level officers shouted hoarsely, but they could only maintain the general formation and order of their soldiers, so as not to collide with the troops next to them.Even finer command is powerless, and the soldiers can only rush forward noisily.

In contrast, Taranto was able to maintain the line of defense while continuously transporting wounded soldiers and sending them to the rear.In a tense, fierce and complicated battlefield, the two things are done in an orderly manner without interfering with each other.

The command ability of the coaches on both sides is decisive.

The newly entered army drove straight forward, turning a blind eye to the noisy formation in front of them.

According to this momentum, he was about to collide with the friendly army ahead.Aberdeen's array suddenly separated to the left and right like a tide, giving way to a passage.

Obviously, the troops that gave way were well-trained and well-commanded, different from other formations on the battlefield, and they were one of the elite under General John.

Along the passage, the latter group of fighters maintained a constant speed and rushed straight towards the defense line in silence.

The target is the No. [-] position discussed at the military meeting!

It was also carefully arranged by Franky, and the weak underbelly of the defense line has been disguised!
Before that, the battle here was not fierce.Compared with other areas, the task of defenders in this line of defense is the easiest.

The Taranto soldiers stationed knew why.

Because this is the position with the best terrain, the most complete fortifications, and the strongest garrison in the entire line of defense—at least on the surface, it is true.

Aberdeen's previous attacks had intentionally or unintentionally avoided this place, only sporadic arrow magic fell on the position, and few soldiers rushed up to fight in person.

Today, even that sparse long-range attack has disappeared.Immediately afterwards, the Iron Armored Army, which was not coming fast, but full of oppression, suddenly broke into the sight.

That was one of General John's trump cards: hoplites!
As the ace unit in the Aberdeen army, its members have been carefully selected after various tests.They are all tall and powerful warriors, including black iron fighters, bronze fighters and other professionals.

After going into battle for the first time and storming the rebel defenses of Taranto but returning without success, the soldiers of the hoplite brigade were not as demoralized as their brother troops.On the contrary, it is like an enraged lion, full of anger in its heart, quietly lurking and waiting, looking for the right opportunity to give the enemy the most ferocious blow.

The battlefield is the best whetstone, which can sharpen the army sharper and sharper.This is an effect that cannot be achieved in any case on a safe and calm training ground.

Now, the sharpest sharp knife that has already started has finally made its debut, and with the ardent expectations of General John and other high-level troops, it slashed fiercely at the strongest point of Taranto's defense line.

Is the spear sharper, or the shield stronger?

The heavy infantry brigade, like a huge piece of steel, slammed into the No. [-] position, which was also like an iron wall.

For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the situation changed!

More than a dozen heavy-armored warriors in the forefront raised their sabers, shouted, and slashed down!

The Taranto fighters defending are also the elite of their army, even if the enemy they face is murderous, the offensive is as fierce as thunder.Not only were they not afraid at all, but they aroused the ferocity in their hearts, raised the steel spears in their hands, and stabbed hard at the enemy's chest.

"when"!
"Clang"!
When the huge saber slashed the spear, the blade of the spear had already hit its target.

The hundreds of catties of heavy armor collapsed obviously, and the Aberdeen soldier inside let out a muffled groan, as if his chest had been hit by a galloping wild horse, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced.

The fighters of the Taranto rebels were also having a hard time. Although the special fine steel spears were not cut in half, they were greatly distorted and could only be used as crutches.The hands holding the gun were even more open, with blood flowing, and they almost couldn't even hold the gun firmly.

In the first confrontation between the elite troops of the two sides, no one was able to take advantage of it.

The defender was extremely fierce, and regardless of his injured hands, he grabbed the half-used spear, and when it was round, it hit the top of the iron can on the opposite side.

Aberdeen's warriors also refused to let it go. Like a wounded beast, they roared in a low voice, completely ignoring the threat from above, and slashed at the opponent with the saber.

bump!
The spear that was used as a stick finally hit the hoplite on the head, and the soldier shrank his head suddenly as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.The weak neck bones could not withstand the huge impact and finally broke.

The seemingly solid fortifications of the Taranto rebel defense line also failed to provide effective protection for the defending soldiers.Under the full blow of the attacker before he died, it was as thin and fragile as paper.The terrifying saber slashed down destructively, and at the same time it split through obstacles, it also took away a fresh life.

The two warriors in different camps successfully sent their opponents to hell.I'm afraid I have to go to another world to continue this undecided battle.

It's a long story, but in fact all this happened in just a short moment.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the dozen or so hoplites in the first row had suffered casualties.Some successfully dealt with their opponents, taking advantage of the opportunity to destroy the first line of defense in front of them; some were dealt with by their opponents and became one of the countless corpses on the battlefield; The opponents died together.

There is no doubt that the hoplite is the elite of Aberdeen's army.This is not only reflected in their personal qualities, but also reflected in the weapons in their hands, armor and other equipment on their bodies.

And after going to the battlefield, after experiencing the tempering and baptism of iron and blood, like a sword drawn out of its sheath, drinking the blood of a powerful enemy for the first time, it becomes more and more sharp and murderous.

But Aberdeen's heavy infantry is strong, and Taranto's elite troops are not weak either.

Perhaps it is slightly inferior in terms of individual strength, troop training, and equipped equipment.However, the advantage of the geographical advantage, the bonus of morale, and the madness and fierceness of being a desperate rebel, all made up the gap between the two sides to a certain extent.

The first wave of battle had just ended, and the second row of soldiers in heavy armor followed in time.

With the same shout, they raised the saber that reflected the gloomy light of death, and approached their respective opponents.

The defenders of Taranto did not show any weakness, staring at their bloodshot red eyes, and stabbing forward with all their strength with the steel spears tightly held in their hands!
Everything is like a replay of the previous moment.

The attacking hoplites and defensive pikemen were not the only performers on the battlefield at Position Three.

Franky knew very well that this was the weak point of the defense line, so he not only cleverly disguised it, but also dispatched the most elite troops to garrison it.There are even powerful units nearby to provide support at any time.

Now is the time for them to make a difference.

The command flag on the high command platform in the rear waved for a while, and several troops that had been motionless at the most critical moment of the defense line finally moved.

The first attack was the archer unit.

Under normal circumstances, if you use archers to deal with armored heavy infantry, unless you are very lucky and hit the gap between the armor, you can cause a certain amount of damage to the opponent.Otherwise, it would be like scratching an itch, wasting arrows and energy in vain.

But that's the general case.

Frankie is a famous player in the world, so naturally he would not make such a low-level mistake.

The sharp arrow flew across the sky like lightning, whizzing away, the sound of piercing the sky was sharp and sharp.Obviously, the bow is a strong bow, and the bow holder is naturally a powerful marksman.

What's even more frightening is that above the sharp arrow, there is a faint light such as gold or red.

That's a magic arrow!
Magic arrows with various magic effects such as armor piercing and weakness attached to the arrows!

Immediately afterwards, after a short preparation, the magician troops located a little further behind also made a move.

Hundreds of fireballs soared into the sky, like a red cloud of fire, enveloping the phalanx of hoplites.

Before I could touch it personally, the high temperature brought by the huge fireball oppressed the people below with dry mouth and tongue and difficulty breathing.

According to the standards of other worlds, today's Osland is still in the period of cold weapons.But with the existence of magical weapons and groups of magicians, the powerful lethality they can exert is no less than that of many thermal weapons.Because of this, although Anthony has accumulated a large amount of military knowledge in other worlds, he still has to carefully observe the battle situation between the two armies, and dare not be complacent, and use it mechanically.

As sharp a spear is, so a shield is as strong.This is an inevitable law of the development of war history.

There was a flash of soft milky light.The hoplites who were fighting were covered with a translucent ball of light outside their armor.

When the arrow fell, it sank deeply into the ball of light.But the sphere of light is very tough, and it didn't just shatter.Instead, the arrow's power was exhausted and it fell to the ground.

The magic attack that followed was stronger and more effective.But it was only the powerful impact force when the fireball exploded that threw people away. The tin cans rolled on the ground for a while, got up in a daze, figured out their direction a little, and went back into the battle.

Except for a few unlucky ones who were attacked by several fireballs or magic arrows, the upper limit of the magic shield was broken.Taranto's rather sharp long-range attack had little effect.

Franky has worked hard on the defense of this position and is fully prepared.But General John had already prepared for it and spent a lot of money.

After casting a magic shield for the forward hoplites, the second round of magic for the Aberdeen magicians finally turned to attack.

In an instant, the fireballs appeared again, but the direction was changed, and they flew towards the position of the Taranto defense line.

In the confrontation of the army, the magicians like to use the fire magic most. Among them, "fireball" is the most commonly used because it is not demanding to cast and has a lot of lethal power.

The magicians of the rebel army were in a hurry to add magic shields to their soldiers, and the offensive and defensive situation was immediately reversed.

On both sides of the third position, the fighting Aberdeen troops were divided into two, leaving half of the troops to continue attacking the original target.The other half of the soldiers quickly assembled and immediately threw themselves into the attack on the third position.

Judging by their clean and decisive tactical actions, they were clearly premeditated.

General John watched from a distance behind, his tightly clenched hands were already dripping with sweat.

At this moment, he finally released his winning hand.Whether the result of this battle is victory or defeat will be announced soon.
