Chapter 1266 Formal Confrontation
Blood Hand King had thought that during the formal confrontation between the two sides, once the opponent's explosive bomb was put into use, the effect would definitely be amazing, but he did not expect the effect to be so amazing!
What is even more terrifying is that in addition to the air force, the opposite side also has a special device that can allow explosive bombs to pass over the front-line combat area and fall directly into their dense military formation.
In other words, the opponent's front-line troops and explosive bombs can burst out output at the same time in a battle!
In this situation, staying at the back is just waiting for death.
Although the greenskin soldiers don't have much brains, they are not 100% stupid. It is impossible for them to not rush to the front row and just queue up foolishly at the back. During the crowd, the greenskins at the back quickly swept to the left and right sides.
The greenskin soldiers didn't think much when they took this action, but in the process of implementation, their actions were like spreading a large net towards the large force of reinforcements.
Once this big net is cast, the first to be destroyed will be Smith's vanguard troops.
However, Li Ce obviously would not make such a low-level mistake. He was well prepared. Basically, when the greenskins spread out their formation, the Smith cavalry and the female warrior cavalry who had been on standby on the periphery entered the field at the same time, charging up from the left and right wings respectively!
Unlike the previous time when they were dealing with the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, this time they were directly attacking the large greenskin army on the battlefield! This was the world of their regular cavalry!
"All troops charge!!!"
With the mentality of avenging the previous humiliation, both the female warrior cavalry and the Smith cavalry almost roared and launched a full-scale charge towards the greenskin troops! A thousand regular cavalry had the capital to impact tens of thousands of troops, not to mention the greenskins' formation, which literally had no "thickness" at all.
At the moment of the collision, the green-skinned soldiers that rushed to the two wings were almost defeated at one blow and were scattered on the spot. The cavalry on the two wings took advantage of this momentum and, after completing a wave of sweeps, they left the battlefield.
Peter, who had been waiting on the flank battlefield, took a deep breath at the right moment. He knew that it was finally their turn to go on the field! "Brothers, follow me and charge! Hurrah!!"
“Ulla!!!”
If nothing else, at least the momentum is still very strong.
At the same time, the female warriors in charge of the other side were also eager to fight.
Compared to the Rakshasa Republican troops led by Peter, the female warrior tribe's troops are obviously more powerful and they also have rich experience in fighting against greenskins.
Originally, from the perspective of strength, the female warrior tribe's troops were the best candidates for vanguard troops in Li Ce's mind.
Now that they are arranged to provide flank support, it feels like a waste of talent.
But from another perspective, it is a good thing that they can show their fighting ability in a more relaxed environment.
During this period, the Centaur cavalry led by Diak, as the main cavalry unit of their Great Zhou, did not act rashly, but continued to stand by on the periphery.
After all, although the Centaur Cavalry has excellent combat power, their scale is limited. Taking this into consideration, Li Ce gave them the task of "saving the day".
They are just bricks that can be moved wherever they are needed.
At this point, the battle between the reinforcements and the greenskins had completely begun! The intensity of the battle on the front line was rising in a straight line, and the soldiers on both sides kept fighting, and soon it turned into a big melee!
This also meant that the demolition troops, who had maintained high-intensity output throughout the entire process, had no room to continue their output. After all, if they dropped bombs again at this moment, they would have hit friendly forces.
They had no choice but to withdraw temporarily.
At this moment, compared to the female warrior tribe troops and the Smith Republic troops who were deeply involved in the fierce battlefield, their Great Zhou troops were unexpectedly moving at a slower pace.
That’s right, leaving aside the air forces, none of the Great Zhou’s ground forces have officially entered the battlefield.
It’s not that Li Ce, as the commander-in-chief, deliberately made such an arrangement that was beneficial to his own forces.
In fact, his deployment had already been made clear during the tactical meeting.
Fisher and Peter might be a little dissatisfied, but they couldn't say it.
Because among the three forces that make up the reinforcements, their Great Zhou has the strongest long-range firepower and the largest number of rear-row troops.
In addition to the crossbow troops that are already very common among the major forces, they also have a large-scale blasting force! At the same time, they also have a certain number of archers as tactical units to prepare for emergencies.
This was the result Zhou Xu came to after discussing with Yalvet after deciding to send troops.
Unlike other human forces that have sufficient technical capabilities to manufacture crossbows in large quantities and form large-scale crossbow troops, the long-range weapons of the female warrior tribe are still completely at the bow and arrow stage.
When facing the green-skinned troops, bows and arrows can only effectively kill the relatively fragile goblins. Once they face the big guys, they are basically not threatening at all.
Taking this into consideration, Zhou Xu simply let Yarvi lead the rear-row troops, and left all the front-row combat forces and cavalry troops.
Female warriors are good at charging into battle, so their combat effectiveness is obviously stronger.
As for the shortage of female warriors, it can now be made up by their Great Zhou, and their Great Zhou troops will be responsible for the rear-row output. The combination of the two is perfect!
Of course, Zhou Xu did not bring any front-line troops with him.
After all, rear-row troops like crossbowmen and demolition vehicles still need regular front-row troops to ensure their safety, so he only allocated a small number of 1,000 troops to this group, plus Centaur cavalry to cooperate at any time.
As long as the front-line battle situation does not collapse completely, they can basically ensure their own safety.
At this point in time, they were protecting the rear-row troops as they continued to retreat, and by the way, they took the Smith crossbow troops along with them, which was a piece of cake.
But the greenskins on the other side obviously didn't intend to let them retreat too easily...
"A large group of Goblin Wolf Cavalry is coming from the periphery. It is estimated that there are about 2,000 of them!"
After hearing the report from the Giant Eagle Knight, Silk, who was currently in charge of leading the team and covering the retreat of the rear troops, frowned.
"Send a signal to summon the Centaur Cavalry to urgently come back for reinforcements. The rear-row troops must not stop, but continue to evacuate at a faster speed. The Elf Knights, follow me and cooperate with the Centaur Cavalry to kill the enemy troops!"
The battle situation was tense and he had no time to think. Silk gave instructions almost as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, a soldier in military uniform next to him looked uncertain, and as if he had made up his mind, he ran up quickly and said...
"Lieutenant Colonel, I don't think this will work! There are about 2,000 Goblin Wolf Cavalry, Centaur Cavalry, and Elf Knights on the opposite side. The combined force disadvantage is too great. Moreover, they are also known for their flexibility and swiftness. It will be impossible to intercept them all. By then, it won't take long for them to catch up with the rear troops."
"I think we should move to an open area and deploy a shooting formation before the enemy catches up. When the Goblin Wolf Cavalry approaches, we will first use the crossbowmen's multi-stage volleys and the archers' rain of arrows to kill the enemy. If there are any remaining soldiers, we will use the Centaur Cavalry and Elf Knights to wipe them out!"
