Chapter 11 Do you hear the people(9)
The dozens of large chariots were closely connected with iron chains to form a large circle on the plain. The archers, spearmen and sword and shield infantry were huddled in the large chariot and used the armor of the large chariot to protect themselves from damage. As soon as the enemy approached, they stood up to kill the enemy.
In the eyes of the soldiers of the Pirate Kingdom, it was like a small fortress suddenly rising on the ground. They had suffered from the loss of this car formation and stopped from afar.
Duke Otto rode on his horse, watching the formation of the Pirate Kingdom, and shouted in his heart: "Did you see it? Triumph, this is my last trump card! If you want my life, just cross the car formation to get it!"
But this courage lasted for only a moment. Ella rode out of the front and walked out of the front. At that moment, Duke Otto subconsciously climbed down from the horse and hid behind the cart tremblingly.
He was really frightened by Ella. Through the gap between the big truck, he secretly observed the battlefield like a mouse.
Ella is still approaching. Duke Otto is ashen. He knows best about his car array, but as long as he is the "elves-level" guardian of Areska, he can easily make a big hole in the car array.
Previously, when Duke Otto encountered such an enemy, he used his magic to change the opponent's protective attributes to fight. But even if he borrowed ten thousand courages now, he would not dare to walk to the "Tribute" to cast his magic!
At this moment, he was like a prisoner sent to the guillotine, waiting for the blade to fall with all his thoughts.
But Ella has not used magic to attack the cart, nor has she ordered to attack the cart. After looking at the cart left and right, she suddenly turned her head and took the soldiers back.
"Go...got?"
Duke Otto was granted an amnesty.
"Is my previous guess right? Triumph himself really doesn't know magic?"
Duke Otto was overjoyed and rode his horse to shout at the soldiers of the Pirate Kingdom: "Come on! Come on! What are you running? Coward! Come on attack if you have the ability!"
As if she didn't hear it, Ella took the soldiers out of the battlefield for a distance until she approached a wood. Then, she actually set up a camp in front of Duke Otto!
Duke Otto had never seen two armies camp on the battlefield during a battle, and suddenly stood there in a daze. After a long time, he finally realized: "Bastard! He looks down on us so much! Cavalry, follow me to assault!"
The chariot moved and slowly divided a hole. Duke Otto personally led a team of cavalry to rush out. Half of Ayra's troops were camping, while the other half were defending in front. Even so, the number of soldiers used for defense was far greater than Duke Otto's cavalry. Those cavalry were obviously a little timid because they could not get the support of infantry.
"Don't be afraid! Although they are large, they are useless!"
Duke Otto cheered loudly for the cavalry around him. After realizing that Ella could not be magic, his courage increased greatly and he did not take the five hundred infantry seriously. He first took the cavalry around the enemy's left wing and mobilized the enemy's formation to turn left. When he seized the opportunity, he suddenly changed direction and rushed to the right. Ella had no experience in commanding formation combat. After Duke Otto changed direction several times, the formation of the Pirate Kingdom was in chaos!
Taking advantage of the mobility of the cavalry, Duke Otto successfully bypassed the enemy on the front line and rushed towards the enemy who was camping in the rear at full speed!
Unexpectedly, the pirates who were camping suddenly took out their flying axes from their waists, and the pirates who were left behind by Duke Otto did the same thing. Duke Otto was shocked and before he could give orders, hundreds of flying axes flew towards Duke Otto's cavalry from the front and back sides!
For a moment, the screams of people and the sound of horses burst into tears. The morale of the cavalry suddenly collapsed. Before Duke Otto could order, the remaining cavalry ran back towards the chariot formation as if they were running away!
The pirates repelled the harassment of Duke Otto and continued to camp in front of the woods.
Duke Otto ran back to the formation and had no choice but to do anything to the pirates camping. This matter is ridiculous, but if he also transferred the infantry out to attack the Pirate Kingdom, then the formation he had finally set up would be in chaos. The enemy gathered urgently from the state of camping, which was much faster than he restored the formation to its current state. The infantry in the Pirate Kingdom's combat capability was stronger than the Federation of Almani. If he lost the protection of the formation, Duke Otto's troops would almost be defeated.
After standing there for half a day, Ella's camp had begun to take shape. The Duke of Otto could not even retreat. If he retreated here, Ella would definitely pursue. At this distance, he also had no chance to line up the car array again.
As a last resort, Duke Otto had to give an order similar to Ella: "Rely on the chariot formation to build a camp and camp on the spot!"
Although camping here will be at risk of being attacked by both sides of the Minden rebels and Ella's troops, Minden's rebels are just a group of mobs, and even if they come, they will not have any impact on the battle situation. As long as they can defend the camp, the battlefield will be reversed as soon as Westphalon's reinforcements arrive.
Duke Otto has absolute confidence in the defense ability of the vehicle array. After all, his vehicle array is called a "movable city wall". If it is added with the fortifications of the camp, it will be no different from a small fortress.
So the soldiers from the two sides began to camp each other face to face.
Many days passed, and the Duke's camp became stronger day by day. In contrast, Ella's camp only had a few simplest fortifications from beginning to end.
Duke Otto couldn't help but wonder when he saw Ella's soldiers entering the woods to log wood every day, but the camp did not change. One night, he asked several soldiers to quietly approach Ella's troops and see what they were doing.
The soldiers returned smoothly and brought back a report that surprised Duke Otto: The soldiers of the Pirate Kingdom were building a large catapult in a hidden location!
"Trail cart? Why do they build such things? There are no city walls here!"
The soldiers said nothing, but just pointed to Duke Otto's cart silently.
Duke Otto choked in anger: "This... this is indeed called the 'movable city wall', but that's just a nickname! It's essentially a transport truck! The transport truck! What's the virtue of it? Will it be smashed by the Triumph with a catapult?"
Duke Otto had never seen a catapult on the spot in the field. But then again, how many things did that "Triumph" did were he had seen?
