.

The speed of the opponent's pursuit was very fast. If Liu Yifei had not reacted decisively after receiving the system prompt, I am afraid that they would have been defeated and retreated at this time.

This was the first battle of the battle royale mission. If it failed, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the friendly forces. Therefore, Liu Yifei could not tolerate failure. As soon as he took up his stance, he had already defeated the powerful swordsman army in his hand.

and the cavalry were pushed to the front line, intending to rely on the superior attributes of the fourth- and sixth-level soldiers to open up the situation.

As the other party gradually approached, Liu Yifei soon discovered something strange.

The total number of pursuing troops behind them was about five thousand, most of them were spearmen and swordsmen with medium mobility, the total number was about three thousand, and the remaining crossbowmen, griffins, priests and cavalry souls totaled about two thousand.

"There's a problem." Liu Yifei took a brief look and discovered the problem.

"Ah? What's the problem?" Lei Hanxin on the side asked reflexively.

"There are too few crossbowmen. As a low-level second-level unit, there should be no shortage of crossbowmen in the human race. The number of crossbowmen in your army is not even as many as the fourth-level swordsmen. Isn't this a joke?

"

"That may be because the crossbowmen's marching speed is too slow and they can't keep up.

The crossbowmen all use heavy crossbows. For the bow profession whose strength attribute is not strong, the crossbows are indeed too heavy and are not conducive to long-distance marches. They are also pursuit troops, so it is normal to not lead slow troops.

Look, don’t they have very few pastors? Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to catch up with us.”

Lei Hanxin rode on horseback and looked at the enemy formation, and then said.

"Well, if it's really that simple, then why are there so few griffins with level three? Will the output of level three soldiers be lower than that of level four?

And don’t forget, the human race’s third-level recruiting building, the ‘Griffin Training Tower’, has an attached building, the ‘Growth Nest’. The output of gryphons is even greater than the third-level soldiers of other races.

The speed is high, the output is high, and the training cost is not high.

Why do you bring such a good pursuit force with so few?" Liu Yifei said with a cold light in his eyes, pointing out the major flaws in the composition of the opponent's team.

"Hey, you are like this. Could it be that the flying troops were left to defend the city? Why would the flying troops be used to defend the city? The remaining crossbowmen are stronger than the griffins." Lei Hanxin took the initiative to overthrow Liu Yifei before he could object.

made my own conjecture.

"Then what do you think is going on? Bolt and the others have other important tasks, n" Hum Xinrag's life or death is uncertain at the moment. Even if Bolt is confident about the 'Corpse Witch Rotten Heart Dagger', he can't do anything about it.

We don't care about such a big team.

Speaking of big things, now that the king's army has not arrived, what else is more important than annihilating us?

I'm afraid they have follow-up arrangements

God forbid, can you hear me?"

Halfway through the explanation, Liu Yifei and Lei Hanxin beside him suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned to contact the divine calculation in the command channel.

"Here, what's the matter?"

"Immediately mobilize fifty excellent assassins or thieves with stealth and detection skills, then spread out in a fan shape and explore the path behind us. Be careful not to let go of both sides, and check carefully."

"Are you worried about an ambush?"

The divine calculator has been a veteran of major online games for many years. He is the number one strategist of the Tiger King Hall. At this time, Liu Yifei heard that he knew the other party's thoughts and said:

"I understand, leave this to me, and you will be responsible for the rest of the battle."

When it comes to fighting a war, both military strength and command are indispensable, but what is indispensable is the kind of middle- and lower-level commanders who can respond and faithfully execute orders.

The commander-in-chief is like the brain, and military power is like the fingers. Without effective connections between the intermediate nerves, no matter how good the battle strategy is, no matter how powerful the military force is, it will probably only be defeated.

With the help of a figure like Shensuan, Liu Yifei felt like a fish in water. How could he wait until now if he didn't give it a try?

Although he received a system prompt to retreat and avoid the pursuing troops, how could he hold on at this moment?

Immediately with a wave of his hand, 1,200 cavalrymen rushed out like tigers descending the mountain.

The charge angle of the cavalry troops was very strange. They did not rush towards the opponent in a straight line, but they went around an arc, turned around and crashed into the opponent's side.

At the same time, a huge army of swordsmen had already marched up in neat steps under the command of Liu Yifei.

Accurate calculations allowed Liu Yifei to arrange the marching time difference of the two armies just right, and his habit and training of controlling multiple units in long-term multi-line operations made him very comfortable in integrating the action orders of the two armies.

Almost at the same time, the two troops had already reached each other's warning range in two directions.

At this time, an interesting phenomenon occurred

If Liu Yifei had honestly fought a positional war and a war of attrition with the opponent from the beginning, maybe the opponent could still struggle with Liu Yifei for a while. Although he would eventually fail, the key is to slow down Liu Yifei while causing little damage to him.

Liu Yifei's speed allowed many pursuing troops behind him to catch up with Liu Yifei and the others.

However, Liu Yifei ignored him, turned around, engaged in a blitzkrieg with the opponent, and took action to defeat him. His decisiveness was completely beyond the system's expectations.

At this time, the fatal weakness appeared

There are too few ranged professions in the pursuit force

Blitzkrieg is about speed, which is an extreme deformation of mobile warfare. In order to increase the battle rhythm, the attacker has to sacrifice the completeness of the composition of the combat troops and the coverage of firepower. Even because the speed of the priest troops is relatively slow, even the support troops cannot

Can't bring it

In this way, it is almost equivalent to a disguised lone battle.

Once you encounter a large number of long-range troops, this approach is tantamount to suicide.

But now Liu Yifei has caught the opponent's painful foot very well. Not only does he directly press the battlefield, he also forces the opponent's meager firepower and disperses the attack.

Sure enough, for some reason, this unit was not only deformed, but also lacked a heroic leader. It was just soldiers who acted according to basic orders.

As soon as they saw an enemy force rushing into their warning range, the small number of crossbowmen immediately opened their crossbows and fired.

Hundreds of arrows were scattered in all directions, and the feeling of oppression was really not as strong as the dozens of arrows fired head-on and neatly.

Moreover, sixth-level cavalry and fourth-level swordsmen already have thick-blooded armor, so how can they be afraid of these small arrows?

The cavalry was protected by full cavalry armor. Liu Yifei did not need to worry too much. He only asked the swordsmen to raise their shields to attack, while the cavalry continued to charge.

In this way, after three rounds of arrows, the gap appeared.

Since the swordsmen troops had to raise their shields to attack, they were forced to give up their charge speed, and as a whole could no longer cooperate with the cavalry in a pincer attack.

The approach of the cavalry troops caused panic (or hatred?) in the chasing troops. After three rounds of arrows, it was obvious that four-fifths of the attacks had turned their guns and were heading towards the side and rear.

Killed the cavalry troops and left.

And this is exactly what Liu Yifei, who is in the middle of the formation, wants.

Just when the fourth round of arrows had just been fired, and most of the enemy's attention had been directed to the side and rear, the gryphon, which had been hovering fifty meters behind the swordsman's camp under Liu Yifei's command, suddenly turned on the acceleration function.

Rush out and rush straight towards the core of the enemy's battle formation.

surprise,absolute surprise

As a mid-level unit, griffons are better at short-to-medium distance flying. Although their strength and physical attributes are already high, long-distance flying is still quite difficult, especially when they cannot fly high (limitations for mid-level creatures)

, Wu cannot fly with the help of high-altitude airflow, which makes it even more difficult.

However, if you force the griffon to make a long-distance attack, it would be a big mistake, because the griffon itself is strong in low-altitude, short-distance surprise attacks.

These raptors with sharp claws and brute force are born with the "dive" skill, and the talent "pounce" has the effect of further strengthening the dive skill, so that the griffons' dives have a strength increase of 2 and have a certain probability.

Stun the enemy

Its effect is better than that of cavalry chargebn

These are all things Liu Yifei knew during the internal testing.

At that time, the size of the player base was not large, but there were a lot of players playing the human race, and more than a hundred griffons could always jump out of a small three-pole city in a week. For those veterans of the closed beta, fighting against the human race,

We have seen this kind of diving attack a lot, and if we can't guard against this move, we will most likely be suppressed at the beginning.

First of all, Liu Yifei has a human friend like "Knight Lant", and secondly, as a ghost clan and a top person among the ghost clan lords, Liu Yifei often goes to war with the powerful human clan lords. Often, he sees

I have seen the collective swoop of more than 1,300 gryphons put together by seven human lords.

The fight that time was really brutal. If Liu Yifei didn't have allies and gathered a lot of vampires and ghosts to entangle his opponent, he would probably have been completely beaten by the opponent.

This time, he suddenly had more than a thousand griffin troops in his hands. Liu Yifei had long wanted to test the power of these aerial raptors.

The effect is really outstanding

At that time, the fourth round of arrows from the crossbowmen in the pursuit force had just been fired, and Liu Yifei seized the opportunity very accurately.

The reason why the swordsman troops and cavalry are required to attack at the same time is to put pressure on the opponent and make the opponent focus all their attention on these two troops.

Especially for the cavalry, you can imagine what will happen if they get close to them. Although the opponent's cavalry is also arrayed in front of the formation, if they really want to collide, they will just try to hurt Liu Yifei's cavalry troops, and then they will be destroyed.

With the pressure of the cavalry, the opponent not only moved the cavalry to the side and rear positions, but also moved the few swordsmen there. Facing the pressing force of Liu Yifei's swordsman troops head on, they could only let the spearmen

Push it first

Fortunately, Liu Yifei's swordsmen raised their shields collectively. There was a time lag in their actions, which was the only failure.

And this is exactly the message Liu Yifei wants to convey to the other party

One wrong move and the whole game is lost.

The long-range firepower and defense focus were all mobilized to the sides and rear, and the group of crossbowmen in front and core positions of the formation were immediately exposed.

Now being attacked by the mid-air gryphon troops, how can the opponent get any relief? The center of the formation was immediately overwhelmed.
