Chapter 87 Attack and Defense at Nameless Pass (Part 1)
Just like that, this mixed demonic warfare brigade of the Holy Night Army began to move toward the battlefield in a mighty manner.
At the same time, Lei Xiao quickly figured out the specific configuration of this army.
The one leading the way was the second-order heavy knight squadron directly under Vice-Captain Kara.
On the left and right wings of the team were two squadrons of light knights.
Sandwiched in the middle were three squadrons of magicians led by Captain Yes, a squadron of healers who were a mix of priests and heavy infantry, and a squadron of light infantry at the rear.
"The marching formation is quite organized. Once there is a sudden encounter with the enemy, a squadron of five knights, one heavy, four light, can use high mobility to quickly break up the opponent's formation."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to think: "Then, the Chinese army's magician troops will give long-range fatal blows. Repeatedly, even the heavy infantry phalanx with the most powerful defense may not be able to hold on. Several rounds.”
While thinking, the temporary mixed squadron led by Lei Xiao also began to move forward.
As for the location of Lei Xiao and others, they were in front of the final security squadron, and were also responsible for the rearguard work of the entire team.
"It seems that the other party still doesn't take this temporary team seriously, but this is indeed the most reasonable arrangement."
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was carrying the sword easily, continued to think while looking left and right.
After advancing to the second level, he can already wield these giant blades weighing several dozen kilograms freely.
"Currently, the area where I am is protected by cavalry on the flanks and a security squadron behind me. It can be said to be a relatively safe position in the entire brigade."
"In this way, even if there is a sudden encounter with the Lengyan Army, I will have more time to react and plan."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao slowly retracted his gaze, moved his gaze slightly upward, and began to look past the walking team of magicians in front of him, looking at the commander, Baron Yes, who was riding a horse in the center position.
"The most important thing is that through this rare combat opportunity, I can undoubtedly observe at close range the formation and combat situation between the Lengyan Army and the Holy Night Army."
Taking a deep breath, Lei Xiao felt a lot of sweat seeping out of his palms, and thought to himself: "In this case, I can lay a solid foundation for possible conflicts in the future. After all, the more I know about my opponent, the better my chances of winning will be." It will be one more point.”
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the team marching in front suddenly stopped.
At the same time, the middle-aged messengers in the middle army began to gallop towards the rear team, whipping their horses and whips.
I saw him raising the red flag and shouting: "An enemy force of about one brigade was found in the front. All units are in predetermined formation and are ready to meet the enemy!"
"Good guy, is the fight about to start so soon?"
Upon hearing this, he first signaled to the five subordinates surrounding him not to act rashly. Then, Lei Xiao began to command the squadron and followed the instructions of the orderer to the designated standby position.
At this time, the four squadrons of light knights on both sides of the team had all moved to the position 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, there are five hundred-man cavalry phalanx, in strict formation, with dark blue battle flags flying.
The horses under the cavalry were treading on the spot and neighing in a low voice.
A total of five hundred polished lances more than two meters long were pointed directly at the enemy formation on the opposite side. There was no doubt that once they galloped out, they would bring only uncontrollable fear and success to the other side. The death of the piece.
As for the temporary squadron commanded by Lei Xiao, it was arranged with the two heavy infantry squads of its treatment squadron on the left wing of the three magician squares of the Chinese army, responsible for protecting the flanks and rear.
Directly opposite, at a narrow pass a thousand meters away, flame flags were flying.
It can be vaguely seen that a large number of heavy infantrymen of the Cold Flame Army armed with giant shields are waiting in formation. They have established an impenetrable line of defense here based on the terrain.
Having said that, Lei Xiao had already observed this mountain pass before coming to this town.
The surrounding terrain can be said to be extremely steep, and it is the only way to get to the main battlefield from nearby areas.
However, this also means that the Lengyan Army on the opposite side cannot hide their ambush on the steep cliff.
"It seems that this offensive and defensive battle at the Nameless Pass is inevitable."
Through the gap in the helmet, Lei Xiao's eyes moved involuntarily to a small forest next to the pass, with a look of deep thought on his face.
If the opponent has an ambush, it must be hidden here.
"Lord, there is movement in the forest."
At this moment, the sound of Japanese knotweed sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
"Oh? Is there really an ambush?"
Lei Xiao looked at not far away, where several scouts who had gone out for reconnaissance had just returned to the team, and said thoughtfully: "So it turns out that the other party secretly entered the forest to ambush after his own scouts completed the investigation. It seems that the other party's Commander, he is also a very capable person.”
"Lord, this is not the most important thing."
Immediately afterwards, the rough voice of the tiger stick sounded again: "These ambushing troops have been subjected to fourth-level advanced concealment techniques. Not to mention the two third-level commanders of the Holy Night Army, even ordinary fourth-level powerful Even if someone comes, you can’t even notice it.”
"So, there is a fourth-level strongman in the opponent's camp?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao's face hidden behind the closed helmet couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.
"Returning to the Lord, I did not find the aura of the fourth-level strong man. My subordinates guessed that the other party should have used a magic scroll that sealed the fourth-level group concealment technique."
While carefully sensing every move in the forest, Knotweed replied respectfully.
"In this case, our side of the Holy Night Army is probably going to suffer a loss. If the other party carries out a counterattack, it might directly threaten our side soon."
He curled his lips helplessly and thought to himself, Lei Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
"Lord, what should we do now? Tell the other party directly that there is an ambush in the forest?"
In order not to attract other people's attention, Huzhang leaned closer to Lei Xiao again and asked.
"No, in this way, even if the crisis is solved, it will inevitably arouse the other party's vigilance and suspicion."
Shaking his head resolutely, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said to the knotweed: "About how many people on the other side are ambushing there?"
"Lord Qi, if my subordinate's guess is correct, there should be two long archer squadrons, most of them are first-level strength, mixed with a small number of second-level strong ones."
The knotweed tugged at the plate armor that didn't fit him well again and responded.
"I understand, then let's just take action and help the other party eliminate these threats."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao's eyes began to become sharper. (End of chapter)
