Chapter 734 (2/2)
”It's normal.” Alfred smiled. ”It's not that there's something wrong with the intelligence on elikate's side, but that this silent mountain is eager to prove their strength. After all, this time the enemy is a joint operation, so there will be conflicts in the command system. Before unified coordination is achieved, such things have long been expected by Lord William Of course, a little earlier than Lord William expected. ”
”Lord William was wrong, too?” The adjutant directly under Alfred asked with a shocked face.
”Lord William is not a God either. It's incredible that he can expect the silent mountains to come out and attack us. Would anyone else have expected this? Rather, the wrong judgment at the time point seems that William is more like a human being. ” At this point, Alfred suddenly thought of Sean, and his mouth could not help raising slightly: if it was what the guy had predicted, I'm afraid there would be no mistake in time?
”The whole army is ready for battle!” Alfred clenched the axe made by Sean in his hand and roared in a deep voice.
”Oh!” The whole thunder lion responded with the same loud roar.
The huge square of 7000 people soon dispersed and pulled out a long front.
The lion of thunder is a legion of light infantry, of which the proportion of light infantry is 7 to 3, but nearly 3000 of the 7000 light infantry are long-range strike forces such as archers. In the previous temporary stronghold led by nodala, Alfred left 1000 archers and 2000 light infantry, so among the 7000 thunder lion soldiers brought out at this time, there were a little more heavy infantry.
It hardly needed Alfred's orders. The lion of thunder, who had already mastered various corresponding combat tactics, changed rapidly after opening a front.
Three thousand heavy infantry stood at the front of the battle line with shields. They didn't take the posture of holding the top shield, but they also protected their front with shields and stood up their long guns obliquely at the same time. Behind the 3000 heavy infantry are 2000 archers. Different from the archers in ordinary human countries, all the archers of the thunder lion are composed of strong armed orcs, which makes their arrows have great penetration and lethality. Two thousand light infantry were scattered on the left and right wings of the archers, 1000 on each side, but they did not protect the flanks, but opened a relatively large distance.
Alfred stepped forward a few steps and stood in front of the whole legion, squinting at the silent mountains ahead.
It seems to feel the Lion King's provocation. After a slight pause, the silent mountain suddenly began to move forward.
The roar of the earth is even louder and more amazing.
And the momentum of the silent mountains is more magnificent.
Alfred looked coldly at the distance between the silent mountains and his own side and calculated silently. He didn't roar until the silent mountains were only 500 meters away from his array: ”shoot an arrow!”
In a moment, the first wave of arrow rain from the lion of thunder was thrown from the rear of the formation of 3000 heavy infantry.
As Alfred expected, the silent mountains also launched an assault on the thunder lion at this time.
In this way, from the situation of the battlefield, it was like the silent mountain itself rushing into the range covered by the thunder lion arrow rain. In front of the three edged armor breaking arrows thrown by these orcs, even if the armor of the silent mountain is a special armor relative to the heavy armor, it can't resist the impact of this arrow rain. In a moment, hundreds of people fell directly.
Almost at the same time when the silent mountain charged, the light infantry on the left and right wings of the thunder lion also moved in an instant and quickly surrounded the silent mountain.
Just after the first wave of arrow rain was shot, all the archers began to prepare for the second wave of arrow rain, and then shot out again without hesitation.
This time, due to the shortening of the distance and many wounded soldiers after the first wave of arrow rain, the damage caused by the second wave of arrow rain was far more amazing than the first wave, and hundreds of people fell directly.
However, this is not the end.
When the silent mountain rushed 200 meters, the 3000 heavy infantry in front of the thunder lion quickly dispersed to the left and right, giving way to the 2000 archers in the rear. However, in the face of the fierce silent mountain, the two thousand archers did not have the slightest timidity. Even if the bow in the front squatted down, it directly launched a flat shot with the second row of archers at the soldiers in the silent mountain.
In the face of such a close arched flat shot, even the silent mountains had to raise their shields to protect themselves. For a time, the speed of the charge slowed down involuntarily, but this sudden change did not come from the tactical change of the commander. So for a moment, the silent mountain appeared in a disjointed state, and the charging rhythm of the whole Legion was chaotic in an instant, which naturally caused some small confusion to the whole silent mountain.
Originally, this chaos can be ignored for the silent mountains, because the enemy can't take advantage of the gap at this moment.
But this time, their opponent was not an ordinary army, but the famous lion of thunder!
Just for a moment of confusion, the light infantry on both wings had completed the circuitous encirclement, but they didn't rush up immediately. Instead, they took out their short axes and suddenly carried out a round of flying axe attack on both sides of the silent mountain.
Almost at the same time that this round of flying axe was thrown out, the second round of flat shooting and the hanging and throwing at the back of the archers once again made a covering and comprehensive attack on the silent mountains. In this moment, the chaotic effect of the whole silent mountains was expanded.
Looking at the silent mountain range 150 meters away, Alfred finally raised the flame lion fangs in his hand and shouted, ”all the army, assault!”
