All warriors use right combination to win by surprise.
Therefore, those who are good at surprising things are as endless as heaven and earth, and as endless as rivers and seas.
In the continent of Exios, in this plane where strength is respected, there is no shortage of brave generals on the battlefield, not to mention wise generals who are resourceful and thoughtful.
From the perspective of wise generals and military generals, James, the God of War, is worthy of being the first military general in the Pelada Empire, while Qiangwei, who is weaker in personal bravery, is more inclined to be a wise general.
In other words, this is a showdown between wise generals and military generals!
"Wedge formation, three-way charge, kill!"
Soldiers are valuable and fast, especially for cavalry!
After the light cavalry who went to investigate brought the latest enemy information, although the news of George's appearance in Fortress Juarez slightly disrupted James' plan, when he made up his mind to send Matt and Tychus to assassinate George, James rectified the Nightmare Knights as quickly as possible, divided his troops into three groups, and attacked Nash Canyon.
It's coming with force and momentum like a rainbow!
A hundred Nightmare Knights charged in the canyon. What a magnificent scene it was! The morning mist that filled the canyon was constantly being smashed and torn apart by the Nightmare Knight, and the hard rock canyon was moaning bitterly under the iron hoof!
Looking down from the sky on the ground, the Nightmare Knights attacking the upper, middle and lower roads of Nash Canyon seemed like three huge wild snakes that were constantly rampaging, vowing not to stop until they tore the canyon apart and crushed it!
"Crossbowman, prepare, shoot!"
The charge of the Nightmare Knights was naturally discovered in time by the enemy sentries staying in front. While sending signals to the base camp, the sentries also organized the first wave of counterattacks. Countless arrows rained down from the top of the canyon. Although each crossbow arrow was The power is very small, but when gathered together, it is a force that cannot be ignored!
"How dare the ants use their arms as a cart?! One team and three teams went out to go up the mountain to clean up the miscellaneous fish!"
James gave the order, and the six Nightmare Knights broke away from the charging formation. They were divided into groups of three and charged straight from the nearly vertical cliffs on the left and right sides of the canyon to the top of the mountain. Then, like wolves into a herd of sheep, they would station themselves in the canyon. Kill all the enemy sentries on top without leaving any trace behind!
As the top military force of the human empire on the continent of Exios, whether they are champion knights or nightmare knights, with the blessing of magic, they can go up mountains and cross rivers in short distances, or even glide in the air.
After the sentry passed, there were countless "surprises" waiting for James and his Nightmare Knights - simple horses made of rough wood, horse nails coated with poison and scattered all the way, rock traps on the top of the canyon, and Poison gas bottles buried underground, flammable alchemical liquid painted on the rock walls to ignite fires!
"Damn it, are you playing house?!"
The cavalry lance drives away the resisting horses, the fighting spirit protects the horse's hooves, the spear throws break up the falling rocks, the Wind King's barrier blows away poison gas bottles and flames... These simple traps will naturally not cause any actual harm to James and his Nightmare Knights, but But this God of War felt a surge of adrenaline, and he wanted to rush into the enemy's formation early and kill everyone!
But where is the enemy?
Since dealing with the first wave of enemy sentries who stayed in ambush at the top of the canyon, James has not encountered any living enemies along the way. There are only traps, traps, and traps. This feeling is like fighting with all his strength. So uncomfortable in cotton!
The lingering irritability and vague sense of crisis urged James to speed up a little more. Under the full sprint of the Nightmare Knights, Nash Canyon was about to reach the end. James, who was leading the way, had even already reached the end. Through the morning fog, I could barely see the undefended silhouette of the cavalry behind the corner!
In a battle between heavy cavalry, if one party does not have enough speed to charge towards each other, this means that the combat power of the party with charging speed will be absolutely crushed!
"Raise your gun and pierce the enemy's formation!"
James' attack command had just been issued a second ago, but in the next second, when he saw clearly the armor and nightmare beast on the cavalry standing at the corner that were exactly the same as his, James felt his heart slow down for a beat!
"Put away your attack stance and stop immediately! Damn it, it's one of our own!"
Due to the damn morning fog that blocked everyone's perception range, the distance left for James and his Nightmare Knights to make a sudden stop was less than 100 meters. However, relying on the forbidden fighting style of the Hundred Battles Division, No. 40 The cavalry actually controlled the nightmare beasts on their crotches in a uniform manner, changing from a rapid charging posture to a standing posture at the same rhythm. The whole process was smooth and smooth, without any trace of chaos or disorder!
"Don Quixote, what is going on? Why did you stop charging? Where is the enemy!"
After James dismounted, a few people ducked to the front of the team and loudly questioned the adjutant who was responsible for cutting through the enemy's path. However, before the adjutant could answer, the scene before James was the most powerful reply——
Quagmire!
Within the visible range of vision, there is a quagmire spanning nearly half a mile. Many Nightmare Knights who were too forward when charging fell into the quagmire and are now returning to the road with the help of their teammates!
Behind the quagmire, you can vaguely see Rose's camp retreating in the distance. The originally flat surface is flashing with magical light, and the quicksand of nearly half a mile is constantly taking shape!
There are wide plains in front and behind Nash Canyon. It is obvious that whether it is the trap in the canyon or the terrain changed by the magicians using strategic magic, Qiangwei wants to trap James in Nash Canyon and buy time to retreat!
Quagmire and quicksand are nightmares for cavalry, especially heavy cavalry. What's more, this is a trap-type terrain artificially created by magicians. Even nightmare knights who can go up mountains and seas will be affected by it. The impact is hard to move forward!
But this is not the issue that James is most concerned about. Of the three scattered teams, top, middle and bottom, only the top and middle have reached here, and there is still no news about the bottom team.
"This little niece is also named Taris after all. There is no wimp in my cavalry family who retreats voluntarily, so she must be planning to pretend to retreat and attack the bottom lane with the main force, or she thinks that I will attack in a single line and want to avoid the large force. , after a roundabout way!"
"It's so simple and ignorant, she will lose!"
The Nightmare Knight faced off against the Champion Knight. In a one-on-one situation, the Nightmare Knight could narrowly defeat the Champion Knight by relying on the bloodline advantage of his mount, the Nightmare Beast. However, if the situation became one-on-two, the Nightmare Knight would never be able to win, but in such a long and narrow canyon In the terrain, when two cavalry units charge towards each other, due to the limited attack surface, each other's opponents often only have enemy heavy cavalry facing each other, which is naturally more beneficial to the Nightmare Knight!
Of course, no army can withstand the human sea tactic. Even the Nightmare Knights, who have higher combat power, cannot withstand the turns of more Champion Knights. However, if they just persist in the hands of the Champion Knights, For a while, the nightmare knights in the bottom lane will undoubtedly be able to do it easily!
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! As soon as reinforcements arrive, the Nightmare Knights led by James can attack Rose's Champion Knights from both front and back!
"Charge the whole army! Turn back to the lower road!"
James took the lead, with a confident smile on his face, as if victory over the Champion Knights was within reach!
However, until the Nightmare Knights sprinted at full speed and reached halfway down the lower road, they did not see the friendly troops marching along the lower road.
Along the way, we heard no sounds of fighting, no traps set along the road, and no traces of fighting. Even the traces of horse hooves left on the main road were deliberately erased. The advance troops sent to investigate could only vaguely find the initial entry. Horseshoe prints on that section of the canyon.
Did thirty Nightmare Knights just disappear out of thin air?
What exactly happened? !
