Kangsa Takon Father Part 12
While Guagra troops are only equipped with ordinary leather armor or armor made of wood. Even the generals and their rulers could not enjoy the luxury of bronze armor. Both are incomparable.
These great powers were marching towards the Magada Forest. Flags and banners fluttered in the wind, revealing their determination to destroy Magada. This is a group of blood-eyed enemies.
A group of birds flew through the dark sky, leaving behind endless loneliness.
The next day, before dawn broke, the two troops stood in formation on the field of the Magada Forest.
Raindrops began to fall from the gloomy sky, as dark clouds covered the top of the battlefield.
For Guagra's forces, the trenches forced them to place the war chariot behind. They can only act as a backup unit. Most of Guagra's homeland's soldiers are in the middle. 3,000 royal guards stood at the forefront, and 45 thousand armored soldiers followed them.
The natives put their troops on the left wing, while the player's army was on the right wing. The Guagra army array is a typical attack formation.
Before the battle, the giant army of Guagra had sworn. Jaka Slewah stood in front of the formation and cursed King Magada for his crimes.
On the other hand, 100 thousand crossbow archers were the core of the Magada Kingdom. Hence, they had decided to take a defensive strategy. The 20 thousand shield sword infantry formed a defensive line, as they raised their shields to form a metal wall.
Behind them were of course 100 thousand crossbow archers standing in a fan-like formation. This formation allowed them to shoot arrows from both sides. With such a three-dimensional defense system, they could directly shoot or project arrows from three directions, front, left, and right, which greatly increased the lethal power of the crossbow.
Each formation of a thousand crossbow archers was divided into three groups. The first group took aim and shot, the second group took aim and got ready, while the third group lifted the bow and waited. They will take turns shooting, which allows them to keep shooting.
Guards and war elephants are on the left wing, while 10 thousand calvary players are on the right wing. To leave enough charging space for the cavalry, they stood slightly behind.
The Magada army's arrangement shocked Patih Suratimantra. A few days earlier, he got a bad feeling when the spies they sent to contact Jaka Maruta did not return. Now, seeing well-equipped and strictly disciplined soldiers in formation, rather than noisy and disorganized civilians, his premonition came true.
But there was no way to retreat now, so their only option was to make their best effort and win this war.
Patih Suratimantra walked to the war drums, and he personally played the drum beats.
As he hit the drums, Guagra's forces advanced. One after another, they continued to march in formation across the trench towards Magada, like a tsunami wave.
The soldiers moved across the field of Magada Forest like waves of sea flooding the shore. They stepped towards the Magada Forest, slowly swallowing it.
Jaka Slewah personally led the army. The royal guard surrounded and protected him, as he moved in front of the formation.
"Lift your shield!" As the general swung his commanding flag and gave the order, the royal guards raised their shields and shouted in unison. They banged their weapons into their shields, “Hu~hu~hu!” together with this voice, they pushed forward in unison.
As the distance between Magada and Guagra approached 300 meters, the Magada warriors took the initiative.
Under the leadership of an experienced team, 100 thousand crossbow archers half-kneeled on the ground. They lifted their bows and pulled the trigger. The words of the massacre of 600 thousand civilians have reached them. Since Guagra showed no mercy to them, what else did they need to doubt?
Arrow shots flowed into Guagra's army. Each shot could have claimed the lives of more than thousands of soldiers which caused their blood to gush into the air. The Magada army suppressed the Guagra archers. They can only passively defend themselves.
Rows of brave soldiers fell, and will never stand again. Whether it was an elite guard, a king warrior, or an army of players, all were grieving as unstoppable arrows rained down.
Jaka Slewah tried his best to maintain the formation so as not to cause chaos. Under Jaka Slewah's encouragement, the rear troops continued to advance without fear. They stomped on the corpses of their comrades, and turned them into mashed meat.
If they retreated, the only end for them would be death, and as long as they crossed the 300-meter firing area, the crossbow archers would be theirs to harvest.
At the very least, the giant army of Guagra believed it would happen.
The arrows dropped the soldiers, and the wounded soldiers fell down and filled the trenches. Their blood overflowed and dripped out of the trench. Their bodies were full of blood, as they stomped on corpses and blood. However, they boldly moved forward through the rain of arrows and continued on their way.
As the fear faded, the crossbow archers became more confident, and their coordination increased. Their shooting rate increased, and the arrows became more intensive. The arrows passed through the ears and shoulders of the soldier, or directly hit the one who was unlucky.
Guagra's simple and rugged armor could not stop the sharp arrows, so the casualties were increasing. Within a short distance of 300 meters, 20 to 30 thousand soldiers would sleep forever on this blood-soaked ground.
When the remaining soldiers finally rushed to the front of the Magada troops, General Giri led a walking shield wall to greet them. 1,000 heavy infantrymen from Java Dwipa were stationed at the front, and equipped with the Krewaja Armor made of fine iron. They were indestructible, and even Guagra's spear could not penetrate their armor.
As a group VII general, General Giri has three talents, namely increasing the morale of the troops by 40%, increasing the speed and mobility of the troops by 30%, and increasing the strength of the attack of the troops by 20%. In addition, there was also an additional 25% defense for everyone from the Magada Kingdom.
Under this buff, the shield sword infantry became ferocious and invincible while fighting the poorly equipped Guagra army.
General Giri raised his kalamuny sword and shouted, “Kill!”
"Kill! Kill it! Kill it!" The infantry raised the shield in their left hand, and repelled their enemy's spear. With their other hands, they swung their swords and split the giant army of Guagra in two. The pieces of broken limbs flew across the sky, as blood flowers bloomed in the air. Guagra's elite soldiers were proud, like chickens and dogs in the presence of shield sword infantry.
