Section 96 Collapse
For Kedasa, it was the first time to see so many ghouls. In countless small-scale sneak attacks, the Bin tribe is already quite familiar with this ugly, hunchbacked monster. These monsters are very tenacious, and ordinary damage is difficult to stop them. In fact, the priests of the church believe that they only have a little bit of consciousness left. These monsters are famous for eating dead flesh and blood, which makes people feel fear and disgusted. But for humans, what is really dangerous about ghouls is not their strange power and tenacity, but their long claws. These claws are due to a large amount of residual carrion, carrion and body fluids they secrete, and eventually condense into a layer of deadly poison. Those scratched by these claws can die within a few minutes.
It seems that the battle between the people on the left is not easy to fight... Kedasa thought about it in her heart, and at the same time she turned her eyes to the enemy in front of her.
The main force of the central force of the Bin tribe, that is, Kedasa himself, is a strange undead force. At least in the previous confrontation, Kedasa had never seen these monsters. However, spies had long brought him relevant news. These undead creatures looked a bit like skeletons, but in fact they were completely different. They were still covered with muscles and skin, although these things had long been dehydrated and dried up; they were wearing ancient armor made of black iron and bronze, although these armors were covered with dust and rusty; they were as orderly as human warriors, although the evil flames of black magic flashed in their empty eyes. In front of their military formation, the vampire blood dragon flag was fluttering in the wind.
There are rumors that these monsters called the Guards of the Desolate Tomb are the most powerful and deadliest units of vampires. But at present, they are not as powerful as expected, because the number of guards of these Guards of the Desolate Tombs is less than that of skeleton warriors. If you use cannons and muskets properly to attack, it is likely that most of them will be wiped out before they enter melee.
However, outside the front line, vampires must have used the cover of the queue to hide other troops. The Immortal Legion now occupies a very gentle hillside with a height of no more than twenty cubits. Although this hillside cannot play a condescending advantage in combat, it is enough to allow vampires to hide other troops outside the field of view of the Bin tribe. At the same time, this terrain also has a good defensive effect on muskets such as straight-line attack weapons. As long as the Immortal Legion retreats a little and retreats from the ridgeline of the hillside to the bottom, the muskets will not be able to play a role.
Kedasa looked at his army with some pleasure. The facts in front of him clearly show that he is now the most powerful one among the Bin tribes. This is not only relative, but also absolutely, because the center of his troops is much stronger than the combined force of the two wings. At least half of the Bin tribes' power is already in his hands.
"Sir, are we going to attack?" asked a general, his voice a little nervous.
"No." Kaidasa's mind turned, and a good idea immediately appeared in his mind. "You." He turned to a messenger beside him. "Go inform Damon and let him launch a wave of attacks first, and say..." He thought for a moment. "If you win, attack the vampire's central troops sideways. If you fail, you can lure the vampire out of his favorable terrain. By the way, you are also there," he ordered another officer. "Go and ask the magicians what magic can be used now."
I don't know if it can be done... Looking at the smoke and dust stirred up by the horse hooves of the commander, Kaidass pondered Damon's reaction. If he hadn't made any mistakes, Damon's troops had not been able to obtain supplies for the whole day - that is to say, they were hungry and exhausted at the moment, and they might not be able to exert much combat power. Speaking of which, the vampires are really lucky. The skeleton warrior with the lowest combat power actually made up for Damon with the lowest combat power.
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, this guy Damon is just a road blocking stone on his way forward...
"Sir, the magicians reported that the Magic Wind is neither violent nor calm today, and can use a variety of magic, and they will choose according to the situation of the battle. If you have special orders, you can also order them in time." The subordinate who was looking for the magician has returned and reported a small good news. "Also, the artillery is in place and can open fire at any time."
But now it is not a good time to fire the cannon. After a wave of shelling, the vampire will retreat directly. Although the cannon is a weapon in a sense, if the vampire retreats, it will inevitably have a great adverse impact on the cannon's range and combat effectiveness. It is better to find a way to lure the Immortal Legion a little... To be honest, the Immortal Legion is actually not strong at all, but that Berel runs faster than the rabbit.
Kedasa waited for Damon to take action, but he waited long enough, but found that the right wing was motionless and even the messenger did not come back. There was no doubt that this was Damon's trick to cover up the truth. He refused Kedasa's order and refused to fight first.
That damn guy still preserved his strength in this life-and-death battle! Kedasa almost wanted to yell at Damon's face in public. But in fact, in this environment, he had no choice but to Damon. This sense of frustration made him distort his face.
"Tell me my order and let the sword and shield soldiers advance in small steps." Damon could not count on him, he could only rely on himself. "Let the long halberd stand on the spot and divide the formation in order for the sword and shield soldiers to pass through." He thought. The vampires must be lured from the favorable terrain, otherwise neither the musket nor the cannon will play a real role, which is equivalent to allowing the long-range troops with absolute advantage to the Bin clan to play a normal role.
"Let the musketeers stand by?" A foolish subordinate next to him asked a question. Kedasa couldn't help glaring at him. It was so stupid. Although according to normal rules, melee troops should use long-range weapons to weaken the enemy as much as possible before taking over the battle, the current situation is that the vampire retreats back and the musketeers can completely fail, the cannon results are discounted, and the magicians are even forced to enter the front line to cast spells normally.
His glare took effect, and the fool didn't dare to continue asking.
Without the cover of long-range attacks, the sword soldiers should be defeated by the guards of the desolate graves. In order to pursue the defeated sword and shield soldiers, the guards of the desolate graves must escape from the favorable terrain and be immediately blocked by cannons, magic and muskets. As for the defeated sword and shield soldiers, Kedasa thought it very clearly. The sword and shield soldiers will suffer certain losses, but they will never suffer heavy losses. This is because, first, under the cover of long-range and magic, the enemy's pursuit will be effectively curbed, and secondly, they can retreat to the rear and reorganize through the gap left by the halberd soldiers.
"Notify the magicians to make sure that vampires cannot use the magic that accelerates the undead creatures."
...
Damon stared at the phalanx of the Undead Legion ahead.
Although he could clearly see the sea of white bones. The corpses of these tragic ancient warriors were originally sleeping under the soil, but the vampire and his minions awakened them from the sleep of death and drove them to the battlefield. Most of the skeleton warriors had only bare skeletons, and a small amount was still wearing long-decaying armor. Their pupils emit unclean light and quietly gathered together in the form of their lives to wait for their masters to issue orders.
In the skeleton warriors, ragged flags fluttered in the wind, and broken trumpets sounded from time to time, making people unable to help but think of the miserable elegy.
Although it seems quite terrifying, Damon knew that these skeletons did not have real wisdom. Most of them just raised their swords and spears and raised their shields to fight under the will of vampire. They were slow and had weak combat power. In fact, their real threat lies in their psychological aspects. Because living people fighting these warriors must withstand various supernatural scenes. If soldiers lack determination and will, they often cannot calmly witness a group of undead soldiers wearing ancient armor staggering towards them.
A very small part of his body told him that if he attacked according to Kedasa's request at this time, he might be able to defeat the vampire's left wing in one fell swoop.
But this was impossible. His reason immediately drove this small temptation away from his mind. His soldiers had not eaten for a day and were all listless, because they could continue to stay at their posts for another reason. If a close fight occurred, the soldiers who lacked physical strength would probably not be able to delay for long and would collapse. On the contrary, the skeleton warriors never felt tired and never retreated. The chances of victory were not that great.
And it was too late to regret it at this time. Now the middle-level team in his team already knew and agreed with his plan. In fact, the expected situation of large-scale opposition almost never occurred, and even one or two opposing guys were quickly convinced by their companions. After all, for ordinary soldiers, being able to preserve their family is an irresistible temptation, let alone the land and autonomy promised by the vampire. However, the real fundamental reason is what Kedasa did.
Damon saw without surprise that Kedasa finally started attacking. However, command was never the guy's strength. He did not fire the gun, but sent a single sword and shield soldier to attack the front of the Immortal Legion. As long as he was not an idiot, everyone would recognize that this was a strategy to lure the enemy, a complete bait, intending to attract the opponent to favorable terrain. If Damon was the one who commanded the Immortal Legion at this time, then he believed that he could eat the bait and spit out the hook.
A small team of cavalry approached him from the rear, temporarily attracting Damon's attention. The leader of the cavalry galloped over and ran to him before stopping the horse.
"How is the situation?" Damon asked anxiously without waiting for the other party to speak.
"It's done." The other party replied concisely.
In this case, the vampire should be satisfied...
At this time, the outpost battle had begun, and the sword and shield soldiers rushed from the front to the queue of guards guards in the deserted graves. Living people and dead people were entangled. For a moment, killing sounds were everywhere, and blood was everywhere.
Things were as expected by Kedasa. The sword and shield soldiers were quickly defeated and the soldiers retreated in panic. However, what he did not expect was that the vampire actually took advantage of the momentum to launch a full-scale attack. The three left, middle and right sides advanced forward at the same time.
"Great, go and urge the magicians to cast spells and cover the defeated soldiers to retreat. The cannons fired me too. Let the musketeers use the sound of cannons as a horn, and the cannons fire as soon as they sound!"
Kaidasa ordered excitedly. He was looking forward to artillery fire and magic to turn the vampire's undead legion into pieces. But he soon felt something was wrong. There was no magic or artillery fire. When the undead legion took advantage of the opportunity to cover up and kill, the long-range troops he had prepared had no movement at all. One hundred steps, fifty steps, the enemy was getting closer, but nothing happened! What the hell happened?
"Sir, it's not good! Damon's men have controlled the artillery and the magician!" Someone shouted and ran over, covered in blood, furious. Kedasa looked to the right in a horror, but saw the vampire's blood dragon battle flag rising in the right wing army of the Bin tribe.
