Section 332 Observation

The Blood-Tooth Lord endured for a while more than Marvin had expected.

Just outside the range of the musket and within the range of the cannon, the soldiers of the coalition stopped. A suffocating silence temporarily enveloped the battlefield. This was the last moment before the two armies fought. The commanders of both sides took this last opportunity to carefully examine the other party's formation and strength.

The mist still did not fade away. The mist covered the second half of the array between the two sides, making it difficult for each other to distinguish the other's second-line troops, even if they were like Ma Wen who flew to a high place on the magic disc. However, at least the front line could still be seen clearly.

The situation in front of him made him feel a little shocked.

Ashrufate was arranged on his right wing - that is, facing the left wing of the Chaos Legion, and in front of the elite troops led by the Blood Tooth Lord himself - was only an ordinary strait array of spearmen. Of course, even if it was an ordinary strait, there would be enough numbers. The problem was that the array of this unit was not thick and not dense.

Although there has not been a battle yet, Marvin can know even with his toes that troops of this level will not be much better than a piece of paper in front of the Blood Tooth Lord. With just one round of charge, the elite of Chaos can tear apart and even cut off the enemies in front of him.

So, is the troops on the front line of Ashurufat just a bait? All the elite troops are placed on the second line, lurking with the help of fog to prepare for attack?

The situation didn't seem very good. Because the array was in front of Ma Wen (the elite of the southern infantry: giant sword soldiers. It can be seen at a glance that their number may not be particularly large, but their formation is strictly engraved, which is obviously much stronger than the spear soldiers on the side. Among them, there were a large number of musketeers and crossbowmen.

The most elite troops in the army, those heavy-armored knights who were wearing armor with men and horses, were arranged on the left wing, facing the weakest troops of Chaos. As a Chaos Lord who lived for a long time, Marvin knew very well the power of these heavy-armored knights on the battlefield. It can be said that these knights are truly troops that can make the dying Chaos warriors feel threatened. When the knights lined up in a square formation, like steel walls, launching a scattered offensive, even the elite Chaos Legion was difficult to deal with.

This situation made Ma Wen a little confused. He had told Ash Rufate almost completely the military arrangement and tactical arrangement of the Chaos Legion, why did the other party even set up such a formation? In fact, war is similar to gambling in a sense. If you can clearly see the other party's trump card, it actually means you will basically not lose - unless the size of the cards between the two sides is really different.

However, Marvin knew very well that the strength of the two sides in this battle was roughly equal. In fact, in a sense, the southerners still had some advantages, mainly because the Chaos Legion's cavalry accounted for not much proportion, and they were mainly light cavalry, while the Southerners' army had a considerable number of heavy-armed knights. This means that the Chaos Legion lacked the ability to restrain heavy-armed knights and could only use infantry to bear it. Of course, this is not an incredible thing for the elite Chaos troops.

A bad idea suddenly came to his mind, maybe Ashu Rufate didn't trust him. No, Ashu Rufate had no reason to distrust him...and so...there is possible. The key is Scarlet Spot! That's right, although Ashu Rufate was seriously ill, he might - perhaps from the mouth of a church priest, or from the mouth of a chaotic believer who was captured but not killed - know that Scarlet Spot is helpless. In this way, he would question all the information Marvin told him...

Oops... Too bad... Marvin suddenly realized that he was not careful in his thinking. That Ash Rufate was already quite rebellious, and he relied on Luo Jin's affairs to force him to compromise...

When a person who is not afraid of death (because he is about to die anyway), things may develop in an uncontrollable direction. In fact, any world, any civilization, any race, and this type of person is the most terrifying. Most civilizations have proverbs like "the arrogant one is afraid of life". For example, although the Shenwu elves have a lot of wealth, humans never dare to provoke the elves (those who are really blind are basically seeking death by themselves). The key is that the Shenwu elves are so cruel that they are not afraid of death on the battlefield. An elf army often does not need additional motivation to achieve even if all members are killed. This tenacity and tenacity are enough to make any enemy afraid.

Because Marvin was riding on the magic plate, the change in his face was not noticed by anyone. No one noticed that the Tsengqi wizard had a pale face and gritted his teeth.

In fact, no one has paid attention to the situation of Tsengqi Wizard. At this moment, the cold and imposing aura before the battle broke out had already enveloped everyone. The two armies fought against each other, but the entire battlefield was silent.

A messenger arrived and brought the Blood-Tooth Lord's order: The Blood-Tooth Lord asked the wizards to use magic immediately.

"Report it," Marvin landed and replied to the messenger. "The magic wind flows incredibly now, and it is very difficult to cast spells in this situation."

Usually this sentence is enough to deal with most situations, but the messenger was obviously instructed by the Lord of Blood Tooth. He looked at Marvin coldly and asked, "So when will it start?"

"Five minutes!" Marvin measured, knowing that this lie would not delay for too long. Because the casters in the Chaos Legion were not only them, but also some others. In addition, in the opposite camp, the priests of the church would also use practical actions to expose his lies. "It will only last five or six minutes at most."

Of course, from another perspective, what he said was not a lie, at least not a complete lie. The magic wind at this time was indeed relatively disordered, and there was considerable difficulty in casting spells, and the risk of making mistakes was much greater than normal - but the real Chaos Wizard was exception. Tsengchi's lies were always mixed in reality.

The messenger left, and just as Ma Wen was thinking about how he would take the next step, a loud bang broke the silence of the battlefield.

The southerners fired.

The sound of the cannon seemed like a signal. The next moment, the soldiers of the two armies roared in battle. Then, the two armies began to move forward at the same time.

More shells were bombarded, and huge solid shells rolled and jumped in the crowd, opening up channels made of flesh and blood. However, these casualties were only insignificant casualties for such a number of Chaos Legion. If it played any role, it would only further stimulate the bloodthirsty fighting desire of Chaos Warriors.

Marvin breathed a sigh of relief for a moment. He knew that the Blood Tooth Lord had led the team to the front line. At this moment, he had no time to care about the situation of the magicians in the rear. Many people looked down on this method of command that rushed on the front line, thinking that this method was rough and worthless. Some even called this method "brainless pig thunder". Anyone could hear it. This was a name full of contempt and insults.

But in fact, the term "brainless pig thunder" may be more jealousy in addition to contempt. The victory and defeat of countless actual battles shows that this tactic is not undesirable. It is precisely with the general's personal command that the combat effectiveness of the front-line troops has been greatly enhanced. When the terror lord personally goes to the battlefield, he can always play a huge role on the front line. The effect of brainless pig thunder is so amazing that such situations often occur: in the face of this absolute explosive power, various traps and tricks have become worthless tricks.

Everything in front of him was just as arranged by Lord Blood Tooth. Although the commander of the Chaos Legion attacked amid the calls for war, the overall situation was also able to act according to Lord Blood Tooth. Lord Blood Tooth personally led the left wing to advance the fastest, while the center was slower, while the right wing was just symbolically moving. Soon, the Chaos Legion's front line formed a diagonal line. The one who really stayed still was Ma Wen and his gang of magicians.

The same is true for the opponent. After the war broke out, the coalition forces also began to attack. In a sense, their tactics were a replica of the Chaos Legion. The spearmen on the right wing of the coalition almost did not advance, but tightened their fronts on the spot, laid their spears, and prepared to face the fierce charge of the enemy. The giant sword soldiers in the center of the coalition forces advanced slowly, and put on a stance that was mainly to protect the long-range troops rather than actively seeking war. The knights on the left wing of the coalition forces began to

Step forward. The knights' charge is always like this, from slow to fast, and then from fast to gallop. Ideally, when they rushed to the enemy, they were at the fastest speed. In this case, the impact force of the man and the horse was added to the rifle in concert, which would produce terrible lethality. No armor or shield could withstand the frontal assassination of the rifle in this state. Even Chaos warriors often collapsed in the face of this terrible torrent of steel.

On the entire battlefield, a layout of diagonal lines to diagonal lines has been formed. The elites of both sides are targeting the weak wing of the enemy. The original conception of the Blood-Tooth Lord is meaningless. There is no doubt that the outcome of the battle now depends on whose elite troops can first defeat the frontal enemy and then reinforce friendly forces in time. If the Blood-Tooth Lord can defeat the spearmen first, then he can attack the enemy's lack of cover from the flank with a sweeping force, thereby laying a chance to win. On the contrary, if Ashrufate's knight formation can defeat the frontal enemy first, then he can use cavalry to attack the enemy side, leaving the Chaos Legion no longer a chance to turn over.

Marvin in the rear calmed down instead. Although things were not good, for him, everything was not hopeless. Whether it was Ashu Rufate or the Lord of Blood Tooth were very abominable. No matter which one died, it was a good thing - of course, it would be more perfect if the two died together. He still had a chance. This battle may be related to everything for others, but for him, it was not the last step.

This calmness made him notice some strange Ni Duan. He had already known the forces of both sides, but at this moment, the troops listed by Ash Rufate seemed not as many as expected?

The number of troops can be judged in a very simple way: the width of the formation. Without terrain restrictions, the more troops occupy the larger the width. Marvin knew that Ashrufate's strength was about one-third more than the Blood Tooth Lord. In this case, it usually means that his front line is much wider than the Blood Tooth Lord - even if he retains a reserve team just in case, the formation is also wider than the Chaos Legion.

But now the front lines of both sides are almost equal. This means that either the formation set up by Ash Rufat is particularly thick, or that he has left in his hands and has not yet entered the battlefield, which is far more troops than normal reserves. The former is easy to observe, so Marvin believes that the reason is the latter.
