Volume 12 [Creation! The Death of the Terminator!] Chapter 29 The Rear Group
To deal with cavalry, the first thing is to dig trenches. They don't need to be too deep, one foot is enough, and the depth of the trenches must be more, which is what the cavalry hates the most. If it really doesn't work, then dig more holes.
The way to dig holes is even simpler. The fertile soil of the Palano Plain is moist and tough. Just find a shovel, then roll up the wings on both sides, pierce the ground at an angle of 70 to 80 degrees, and then pull it out with force, which will bring out about a foot of soil. What is left is a pit with a depth of 30 centimeters. If a warhorse steps into it while running, the foot bone will be broken due to the terrifying inertia of the sprint.
These things were of course handed over to the orcs to do, and the battle of the Palano cavalry was so famous, so Jax was well prepared. Everyone knew that the group charge of the cavalry would be very powerful, but they also knew that once the speed of the charge was forcibly reduced, the power of the cavalry would not be much stronger than that of the infantry.
More importantly, Soran also made a targeted backup plan for this wave of reinforcements that were not considered surprise troops. That was the mammoth war elephant legion tamed by the Haradrim people from the south. With just a little support, these terrifying beasts could easily destroy the cavalry's charge array!
At this time, Fang Senyan and others gathered together and counted the contribution points they had received.
Although Fang Senyan did nothing last night and slept soundly, with his prestige, everyone still took out the contribution points they had received, and no one kept it secret. The only funny thing was that Aldaris snorted coldly and traded his contribution points to Zi first, and then Zi handed it over together. This act of covering one's ears and stealing the bell showed that he was Zi's supporter, not obeying Fang Senyan's leadership.
Fang Senyan and his team originally had nearly 1,300 contribution points, but after Jax held an emergency meeting, they knew that this matter was serious and that the eggs would not be intact under the overturned nest, so they did not drag their feet and directly took out 1,000 contribution points.
Of course, this 1,000 contribution points were definitely not given for nothing. This 1,000 contribution points plus the 800-plus contribution points of another team bought a giant catapult. All the merit points generated by the giant catapult's attack were distributed to Fang Senyan and the other team in a ratio of 6:4.
However, the giant catapult is mainly used to attack the city wall, and the damage rate is very high, so it is almost difficult to make a profit. This kind of thing is like a country's military construction. Most of the time, it is a loss, but it can't be done without it. For example, a small probability event like a stone thrown over to kill a Pippin is almost like winning the lottery.
So Fang Senyan and his team invested 1,000 points, but the dividends they actually received were only more than 400 points. This is also a loss that the backbone team has no choice but to suffer. If they don't suffer this loss, they don't even think about breaking the strong city. Fortunately, after a night of hard work, the ace team also got back more than 1,100 contribution points, which added up to more than 1,500 points.
Don't underestimate their contribution points of more than 1,100 points. It is already quite considerable. You know, if it is converted according to the combat power ratio, it is equivalent to killing more than 1,100 basic defenders of Minas Tirith! And the opponent has the advantage of terrain. Once they cannot kill them instantly, they often seriously injure them and can be rescued by their colleagues. The contribution points of the defenders hired by the opposite contractors are halved after they are killed.
Fang Senyan proposed to use these 1,500 contribution points to "redeem" the three familiar guys "Black Ears", "Big Nose" and "Lame Leg". Although in the ordinary exchange, the trolls only need 380 contribution points per head, but the designated exchange like Fang Senyan will definitely be much more expensive.
More importantly, the exchanged trolls are all ordinary quality trolls. To put it bluntly, the experience points are all zero, and who is Sanzai? Professional summoners have long known the attributes of "Black Ears", "Big Nose" and "Lame Leg" clearly:
First, they have their own names, just like the generals who can be called by name in the Three Kingdoms period are definitely stronger than the generals. Specifically, the basic attributes are 10~15 stronger than the ordinary ogres exchanged.
Secondly, these three guys are all well-tested warriors. Black Ears has the most experience in war, Big Nose has the highest strength, but Lame Leg has the strongest mental power. Black Ears is on the verge of being able to advance at any time, which is equivalent to an experience value of 95, and Big Nose and Lame Leg will be at least more than 80.
So in the end, in order for "Black Ears", "Big Nose" and "Lame Leg" to be hired, the Ace Team paid more than 1,200 contribution points! You know, this is still Fang Senyan's legendary level 3, and the transaction price can be shamelessly discounted by 30%! But you get what you pay for. After these three monsters put on the terrifying armor specially made for ogres, they looked like a cubic steel monster, and the wolf-tooth hammers in their hands were even more dark and creepy.
More importantly, their basic attribute values were higher than those of ordinary ogres, which allowed them to withstand the earth shield blessed by Kulutguo when they were fighting in full armor. There were three basin-sized rocks rotating slowly outside the steel armor, protecting the bodies of the three savage guys like the moon orbiting the earth. They could even fly out and hit the enemy according to the ogres' wishes!
After all these things are prepared, it is time to choose the battlefield where the team will participate. This is actually very critical.
Although the Paliano Plain is said to be a plain, there is a slope that is more than ten miles long to the west. There is no doubt that the Rohan Kingdom cavalry who came to the rescue have traveled a long distance and are already exhausted, so as long as the commander's head is If there is no water entering, then it must be coming from the west, taking advantage of the slope and hitting it like a tide.
There is no doubt that due to the extremely powerful beliefs of orcs and orcs, morale collapse will only occur in the most extreme circumstances, so the ones blocking the front line must be cannon fodder.
Although a large number of traps have been laid, King Theoden's iron cavalry across the Middle-earth continent is definitely not that easy to deal with, so the flesh and blood body of the cannon fodder is used to slow down the cavalry, and then wait until the cavalry's vigor is frustrated. What they have to face next is the fierce regular army of orcs and half-orcs!
If a large number of horse traps are the first line of defense, then the orc peons and slaves are the second line of defense. The art of war says: make a strong effort at one go, and then exhaust yourself three times. After passing through these two lines of defense, facing the main force of the orcs in a deadly battle, even the most powerful army should be contained.
Therefore, almost 90% of the contractors have chosen the team's battlefield a little behind the regular orc army, especially at the end of the regular orc army, which is a prime position. They almost have to fight for the head. In their conception Inside, the regular orc army was like a big sponge, a huge filter, absorbing all the impact of the cavalry, and then it was their turn to harvest.
However, after Sheyan thought twice, he actually set the team's battlefield position almost to the east, which was even very close to the Hall of Dark Source. The most important thing is that for the decision made by Sheyan at this time, Jiao Shi wants to take the blame for him. The ace team is even called the team behind the break by many people. The look in Jiao Shi's eyes is a little weird. After getting this guy Jiao Shi, When nothing happened, he looked over with helpless and resentful eyes.
However, Zeus and Skull saw this strange behavior, but they knew Sheyan's perversion, so they couldn't help but move the team's position at the front a little further, but they stayed behind. The spot was filled immediately.
The air was dull and there was not even a breath of wind.
At this time, even the city of Minas Tirith suspended the attack, because the dark side stopped attacking and withdrew from their range. However, at this time, the city of Minas Tirith was also at the end of its crossbow, and even the contractors were at the end of their range. Exhausted, he could only rely on the right location to protect him, and he probably didn't have the ability to attack from both sides, so he could only sit on the sidelines and watch.
On the western horizon, a black line appeared,
Tide-like black lines.
Then the desolate horn sound sounded. Although the horn sound was faint because it was more than ten miles away, it was faint but not weak. It could even inspire an atmosphere of fighting to the death on the battlefield. !
The person who blew this horn was undoubtedly King Theoden's banner-bearer. This large horn was made from the horn of a rune buffalo. After this powerful creature was hunted by Virondil, his skin was used to make this magical horn. The mouth of the large horn was inlaid with silver and engraved with ancient symbols. The horn comes with a strap, which is a long strap that allows the horn to be worn diagonally across the shoulder. The sound made by the horn is clear and long, and anyone who hears the sound of the horn will gain the benefits of the three divine spells: "Brute Strength", "Blessing" and "Elegance of the Wind".
The knights, who stretched for several kilometers, stood at the top of the gentle slope in the distance. Then they saw a man in a golden helmet riding a horse, drew his sword, and galloped out from the front of the formation, using his A dazzling sword struck the spear raised by his own knight one after another. That was Théoden, King of Rohan! ! The entire team suddenly felt an indescribable terrifying murderous aura. The murderous aura was so integrated that even though it was far away, it almost made one's heartbeat and breathing completely suffocated!
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of horns began to echo the sound of the big rune horn, and the horizon seemed to be shrouded in a chilling aura! ! ! !
Immediately afterwards, King Theoden shouted loudly: "Fight to the end!"
At first, he shouted alone, then hundreds of people, thousands of people, and then spread to the entire army!
Immediately afterwards, the cavalry of the Rohan Kingdom formed a terrifying formation and rushed over like a tidal wave! ! ! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
