Chapter 24 Defensive Counterattack
The smoke screen bomb is very effective, and a large area of smoke screen obscures the vision behind. Masaga Matsumoto temporarily loses the battlefield command ability, and this period is the time for us to perform.
"Open the number 1 to 20th." My voice was conveyed from the leaves of the City Tree to the City Tree itself, and the City Tree responded to my order in an instant.
In the direction of the RB player at the bottom of Aisinger, there were suddenly twenty huge armor blocks on the city wall, with a metal friction sound, and began to sink into the city inside. Each of these armor blocks was about 200 meters wide and about 30 meters high. The armor plates slowly sink inward first. When the distance reached three meters, the armor plates stopped with a bang, but soon it began to move horizontally again. Each armor plate was separated from the middle and then retreated to both sides into the city wall. As the armor plates moved to both sides, the RB player outside discovered that there was actually an armor plate behind the first layer of armor, but at this time they were separated in the up and down direction. The four armor plates were usually stacked together to seal the big hole in the city wall in a cross-section, and now they all made way themselves.
After the armor was removed, twenty rectangular exits appeared on the city wall. From the outside, you can clearly see a black line inside the exit. After using the telescope, the front line commander of the rb army forward discovered that the black line was actually a dense heavy cavalry formation. However, because the RB player was located more than 400 meters shorter than the middle section of the Aisinger's city wall, they could not see how many people there were behind except for the first row of cavalrymen.
The opening passageway was originally located in the middle of the city wall of the foundation layer of Aisinger, which means it was about 200 meters away from the bottom of the city. But Aisinger is now moving, and all the crawler propellers underneath are extended, not the bottom of the city directly contacts the ground, so these exits are at least four hundred meters high from the ground. While the exit is completely opened, metal plates as wide as the exit are extended outwards in the city. These metal plates extend horizontally rather than downwards. RB first thought that these long metal plates were springboards designed for cavalry to leave the city, but when they see them stretching horizontally, they feel that something is wrong.
The metal plate stretched out about five hundred meters long, and then stopped. As the mechanical gears turned, these long metal plates began to tilt downward, obviously to be prepared to touch the ground. The rb man was wondering why these things were extended horizontally, but now he understands it. This is because the mechanical structure is not convenient to extend directly downward, which takes up more space. It is not like this that it can be collected in the floor mezzanine to save space. The extension of the huge metal plate dropped by more than two hundred meters and then suddenly stopped. If the city was parked on the ground, it should have touched the ground, but at this time the city's tracks were all unfolded, so the flat plate could not touch the ground.
Just as the rb player was about to laugh at our mistake, a slight mechanical movement sound suddenly sounded on the metal plate, and then thousands of positioning locks on the side of the springboard popped up automatically. The reporter's lower half of the springboard slipped down quickly and roared into the soil more than one meter deep. It turned out that this springboard was actually two layers, usually tightly attached like two pieces of paper. There is a slide rail connection between the two layers. As long as the fixed lock is opened, the lower springboard will slide out immediately due to the inclination of the springboard. This two-stage design is designed to take into account the two states of opening and closing of the Aisinger's crawler. If the crawler is not unfolded, then just one layer of springboard can reach the ground. If the crawler sticks out, then release the fixed lock and let the second springboard slide out, so that it can just touch the ground.
In fact, in addition to the springboard, this huge military platform has another function, which is a temporary airport. Our guild will have many air cavalry. Their take-off and landing are nothing, but if it needs to be unfolded suddenly on the battlefield, it will make the top airport a little busy. The three main layers of Aisinger each have a large horizon, but the tops of the base layer are all weapons, which is simply an artillery position. The top of the middle layer is an airport, but the area is not very large, and it has to undertake so many things to take off and land. The top platform itself is the smallest, and it is occupied by several large special buildings in the command layer and the guild. It is really not suitable to be an airport. If these twenty exits extend out of the springboard horizontally and do not let them go, it is equivalent to a platform, just used as an airport. Anyway, the width of 200 meters is large enough for various flying creatures, and it will not affect their landing at all.
Although there are many functions, these metal plates are still performing their main tasks as springboards for the army to leave the city. Matsumoto Masaga hurried forward, trying to pass through the smoke screen to see what the battlefield situation was like. However, he was a little far from the front of the battlefield. He couldn't get through for a while. Millions of troops rushed out. He used the scattered formation, but the formation was more than ten kilometers long. This was because the front width was relatively large. As the commander-in-chief, Masaga Masaga squatted at the end of the formation and pressed the formation, but now he was blind after the smoke screen blocked him. Now he was really unbearable.
Matsumoto Masaga had not yet run over, and the RB army in front did not receive a new order and was still rushing forward quickly. Aisinger's weapon also had a blind spot in shooting. As long as we rushed to the city, we could start to find ways to rush into the city to fight. This is what the RB people thought. Masaga Masaga and the entire RB players have always known that our guild's magic and gunpowder weapons are famous for being ruthless. Not only are they powerful and dense firepower, but they are also numerous and have high precision. For RB players, they can start hand-to-hand combat as long as they rush to Aisinger, and at this time the advantage of our guild's area does not exist. Because of this perception, RB players without new orders began to rush towards Aisinger at high speed with a large number of NPCs around them.
As this man bravely moved forward, Aisinger's cavalry springboard had been fully unfolded. The second-level springboard that had just slipped down was deeply inserted into the ground, but because Aisinger was moving, the springboard was quickly pulled out, but this did not affect its function. There was a row of small metal wheels at the bottom of the springboard that touched the ground, which could reduce the friction between the ground and the springboard, so that the city could release troops while moving.
"Impact." Eagle stood in front of the exit and acted as the cavalry vanguard. This time he planned to serve as the on-site commander. After all, there are not many genuine knights in our guild.
With the order of the eagle, the first row of cavalry rushed down from the springboard like a flood. Twenty huge springboards, 200 meters wide, were a very wide impact plane. Once the heavy cavalry obtained enough impact surface and sufficient speed, their lethality would be unimaginable. These springboards were all directly connected to the ground from the exit on the city wall. This large inclination angle was the best place for cavalry to accelerate. The heavy cavalry almost relied on gravity to help accelerate. With the thunderous hooves, the heavy cavalry troops rushed down the springboard. As soon as they touched the ground, they rumbled. The springboard was designed relatively thickly and magic reinforcement technology was used. Otherwise, so many cavalry would probably have been cut off after running over.
RB players are charging forward. Although they see cavalry, they do not dare to change their formation without orders. Only commanders who are looking at the overall situation on the battlefield can make the most appropriate judgment. Although it is important for soldiers to respond on the spot, it is absolutely not recommended that soldiers change their tactics themselves. Now RB players know that a large number of infantry soldiers defending heavy cavalry whose speed has reached its peak is very disadvantageous, but they just dare not change their formation casually.
Matsumoto Masaga was quite lucky. Before the battlefield changed, he finally crossed the smoke screen and saw the situation on the battlefield. But he was unfortunate again because he saw it too late. Masaga Masaga, who had just rushed through the smoke screen, saw that he released twenty heavy cavalry teams like opening the gate to release water and knew that it was over. The terrifying cavalry vanguard was less than ten meters away from the Japanese vanguard. There is a saying among the cavalry: "Shock for a second." The reason for this is that ten meters can rush over in less than one second for the heavy cavalry at full speed. Because this distance is very close, if the soldiers in the front row of the enemy have poor psychological quality, they will often lose their minds and faint at this second.
There is no need to laugh at those who are scared or pee their pants at this moment, because instinctive heartbeat will accelerate in front of such heavy cavalry formations, causing physiological disorders. Matsumoto Masaga has seen with his own eyes many people who were arrogant and confident that they are brave and scared to call their mother in front of the cavalry formation. In addition, a player's investigation report on the forum also said that the cavalry formation and the infantry formation contacted the moment. Most infantry were in an unconscious state, which means that most of them were actually fainting at that time, but their bodies were still standing there because of stiffness.
Masaki Matsumoto has experienced this scene again, but what makes him very sad is that his army is being trampled on. The battlefield seemed to have become a silent world for the second before the two armies contacted. Everyone felt that the situation in front of them had become slow motion, and when the cavalry and the charging players collided, the battlefield seemed to suddenly return from the silent world to the noisy world. The sound of metal weapons hitting, screams of people and ground, the sound of bones shattering, and the sound of muscles being torn, all of this mixed with the sound of the battlefield - the sound of life.
Masaga Matsumoto could no longer bear to watch it. The soldiers were knocked away one by one. The heavy cavalry, along with people and horses, and equipment was five times the weight of the RB player, and the cavalry was six times the speed of the RB player, generating thirty times the kinetic energy. People were easily taken away like dust without weight. Cavalry did not need to attack at all, their speed and weight were the best weapons. The enemies killed by cavalry were either killed or trampled to death, and there were not many weapons when they needed to use them.
Some RB players commanded the NPC around them to form a temporary small defense circle, but this was useless. The horses of these heavy cavalry were all trained. After seeing the enemy's defense array, their first reaction was to jump up and smash the enemy with the weight of their bodies. The bodies of these horses were covered with steel armor, and there was a shield-shaped full-steel thickened collision armor in front. This was a component to increase the impact when hitting people. Now this thing has done a good job.
Several RBNPCs raised their shields to resist. The war horse jumped more than one meter high. They just stepped on the shield, and the NPC was trampled down. The upper part of the body was held by the person behind, and the feet were also supported on the ground, but the waist could not withstand the weight of a heavy cavalry and the horse. There was only a cracking sound. The shield hand was trampled to the waist, and the waist bent down to an angle that could not be reached normally. The war horse did not stop because of this, and had the opponent's impact force of thirty times, and this impact was nothing. The war horse stepped on the person under his feet and continued to jump, and the people below were immediately trampled into blood and blood. The RB player behind saw that the NPC could not block the enemy and wanted to run, but the war horse's subway hooves ruthlessly stepped on him to the ground. He followed him, who was still struggling on the ground, and continued to rush forward.
The player was actually not stepped on, but was just overturned by the pedal of the war horse knight. He was crawling on the ground and trying to stand up. Suddenly, a thick and powerful trap was stomping down the horse's hoof, hitting the back of his hand. A click accompanied by a ghost howl, the guy's hand turned into a meat pie. Before he could continue howl, the second horse's hoof arrived, and this time he stepped on his waist. With the same click, a man immediately broke into two pieces, and followed the horse's back hoof. He kicked the guy's head to pieces like a watermelon, and the white and red sprayed all over the ground.
The thunderous heavy cavalry group was advancing rapidly and vigorously, and RB players finally collapsed. A large number of players took NPC and started to turn around and run back. Although this is a game, in theory, most people are not afraid of death, but the on-site impact is too strong, which often makes people unable to help but regard this as a reality. Survival instinct begins to independently start everyone running away.
The scattered formations in the RB are too sparse. Facing the impact of heavy cavalry, such a formation has no effect, and the cavalry breaks into the enemy's land like cutting tofu and rushes back and forth. As the commander-in-chief of the cavalry, the Eagle feels that his army is entering a no-man's land and there is no enemy that can constitute an obstacle. The feeling of riding on a horse will itself have a psychological expansion, which will transform into confidence on the battlefield, and confidence is the source of momentum. It is said that cavalry is an infantry nemesis. The escaped infantry cannot resist the cavalry's charge and are easily chased and strangled.
Matsumoto Masaga was just a little slower, but unexpectedly his army had changed from charge to a great collapse. Our army's assault ability was very strong, and Masaga Masaga completely lost the initiative in his short-term mistake. This is the problem of grasping time on the battlefield.
Strictly speaking, Matsumoto Masaga did not lose in himself and the army, but in commanders. Our command staff is the general, and Masaga Masaga's command staff is the retired staff officer of RB. Both sides are professional soldiers, but the grades are different. The staff officer of RB is just an ordinary senior staff officer, not a very outstanding person, more powerful than ordinary people, but not an extraordinary person. The general is different. He is a military god in our country. He has won countless victories in his life, which is too different from the general staff officer.
The general has very good grasp of the battlefield. All our combat steps are commanded by him. How long does it take to launch a counterattack after the smokescreen bomb is launched? The attack intensity and attack location are planned by the general. Now it seems that just by the cooperation of this simple cavalry and the smokescreen bomb, the initiative on the battlefield has been transferred. Originally, we were the defensive side, but the initiative was in the hands of the opponent. Now it seems that we don’t have to worry about not having the initiative.
The initiative on the battlefield is a good thing. The party who holds the initiative means that you can adjust the rhythm of the battlefield according to your needs. You can start a battle when you are ready, or suddenly attack when the enemy is busy. Therefore, the party who holds the initiative will have a great advantage. Now that we have the initiative, the next step is to use this initiative.
General Wu and Su Mei discussed for a long time and suddenly informed him to turn around. The Eagle led his men to rush to the death. He suddenly received an order to turn around. Although he was very confused, he still retreated back. I also found it strange to the general's order, but I didn't ask him what it meant. I am an amateur in military command, and this is better handled by professionals.
The Eagle took the heavy cavalry to play a U-shaped impact, and turned a big rope on the way and rushed back. Almost as our heavy cavalry turned the formation, a large number of RB cavalry suddenly rushed out behind the smoke screen. It seems that the General's judgment is very correct. If the Eagle and the others don't turn around, they will be colliding with the RB cavalry now. Although the smoke screen blocked the RB people's sight, we were not affected. After all, reconnaissance mosquitoes are everywhere. The General had just seen the RB cavalry mobilization in the rear, and later it was determined that the cavalry might have come to the forefront to deal with our heavy cavalry.
Speaking of which, the heavy cavalry of our guild has completely surpassed the RB heavy cavalry. In terms of heavy cavalry, their heavy cavalry are the last in the world. However, the turn just now is very necessary. Although our cavalry is not afraid of RB cavalry, there are too many soldiers on the other side. If our cavalry is blocked, even if the speed is only reduced, it will no longer have an impact effect. There will be a large number of casualties in the future. Our target cavalry is to deter the Japanese army from advancing. It is not to fight against the RB people. It is to maximize the advantage when there are not a large number of casualties. Besides, our guild has not used many soldiers now, so we should try our best to save money.
Matsumoto Masaga may also know our predicament. They used light cavalry to touch our heavy cavalry, and did not hesitate to consume my remaining troops with a large number of cavalry. This kind of substitution for the expiration of Masaga Masaga, who has the advantage of military strength, is beneficial. But we don’t want to change it with him. Seeing that the heavy cavalry suddenly ran away, Masaga Masaga ordered the light cavalry not to stop and continue rushing forward to pursue our troops.
In terms of impact force and killing effect, heavy cavalry is definitely much stronger than light cavalry, but in terms of running speed, light cavalry is still faster. Although our heavy cavalry is running in front, the light cavalry behind quickly chased after him. It is not a good thing to be chased by others. Seeing that the two teams of cavalry were about to be taken over, the eagle suddenly raised the flag in his hand, and all the war horses in the row with him jumped neatly, and followed the cavalry behind to this position.
The rb cavalry followed behind and fell into dirt. Where did we see our cavalry playing in the ground? When their people arrived at the position where the eagle raised the flag just now, a steel cable on the ground suddenly bounced up. The rb cavalry had no idea that there would be a trip rope here. Just now, it was okay to see our people running over, but they were caught as soon as they arrived.
As the sound of war horses neighing, the Japanese light cavalry vanguard's horse was neatly tripped. The war horses nibbled to the ground with one head, and the cavalry followed and flipped out and was pressed on it by the war horses. The cavalry behind had no time to dodge because they were too fast, and they all collided with each other. Fortunately, the light cavalry reacted quickly, and the second half of the troops were all bypassed from both sides. The front part was all in the way.
This rope was arranged by several players who were invisible to our guild, but the plan was what I wanted. General Wu is the strategic general in the rear, and the commander-in-chief is an expert, but I am a master in tactical skills. This rope helped the cavalry, and the rb cavalry finally chased him and was pulled away again.
Although light cavalry is faster than heavy cavalry, everyone is a cavalry, and it is only a little faster. As long as the heavy cavalry keeps stopping, you have to chase for a long time. Seeing that the platform ahead has arrived, the heavy cavalry has accelerated, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves quickly rushed to the springboard.
The heavy cavalry on our side rushed back to the opening above the city along the springboard, and the subsequent cavalry continued to rush up. When the last cavalry was on the springboard on the tower, the skipping shift had automatically started to rise slowly. At this time, the subsequent cavalry was only two horse-shaped distance from the last one of our heavy cavalry. As the springboard rose, the first cavalry urged the horse to jump up, and the subsequent cavalry
Then they jumped up, but they only went up to the fifth and sixth rows. When the seventh row arrived, the springboard was already too high, and most of the jumped horses hit the springboard eaves and fell back and forth. The cavalry who had just rushed up didn't know that the people behind them didn't follow. The cavalry just kept charging and not caring about the people around them. As soon as they raised their weapons, the RB cavalry was pierced by the thin red rays shot from the city and fell down.
The distance between Aisinger and the defense range of small weapons is so close. These RB cavalry are indeed very brave, but unfortunately they are a little bit unconscious, so they should not chase them at this time. The subsequent RB cavalry chased the city, but the springboard has risen more than two meters. If the cavalry goes up by themselves, it is possible, but the war horses can't go up by themselves. But if the cavalry goes up by themselves, is it still called a cavalry?
There were not many Japanese cavalry on the springboard, and they were quickly slaughtered. The mechanical gear actually controlled the springboard and shook the bodies a few times. Then the springboard was automatically folded and retracted back into the city. The armor on the twenty exits on the city wall fell down the closed city wall again, and the rb cavalry could only sigh at the city below. The cavalry had no choice but to deal with cities like Aisinger. What they needed was a special infantry attack force.
The Japanese army that dealt with the smoke bombs finally resumed its smooth command and the army resumed its charge. However, compared with ten minutes ago, they were delayed too much in time, and they also paid a heavy price of more than 30,000 casualties. What made Matsumoto Masaga even more angry was that the Aisinger heavy cavalry unit who caused the bloody case actually killed only three people and injured two.
Matsumoto Masaga commanded the army to chase them closer and closer, but they were getting more and more anxious. The sea was already ahead of Aisinger, and the row of tracks in the front of the city was no more than 300 meters away from the coastline. Can this prevent Masaga Masaga from being anxious?
Aisinger is completely opposite to Matsumoto Masaki Matsumoto Masaki, and we feel quite relaxed. At the current speed, most of Masaki Masaki's army caught up with us had already reached the sea, and the remaining part would not stay on land for too long, at least not enough time for Masaki Masaki to attack.
Seeing that I was wrinkling, Rose came over to rub my forehead and helped me rub it: "Masaga Matsumoto can no longer catch up with us, what are you still worried about?"
"What I really worry about now is that it is not the RB army."
General Wu looked at me in confusion: "What are you worried about the RB army?"
I pointed at my feet: "Worry about Aisinger."
"What's there to worry about in Aisinger?"
"He was worried about the gravity resistance device." Woma said it right in one word.
Rose looked at me and said, "If we really can't fly, we just float over."
Womao explained for me: "I used to be able to float over, but now I'm afraid it won't work."
"Why?"
"Did you forget that there are several big holes in Aisinger's wall?"
Chapter completed!
