At the frontline of the war.
Zhuge Liang and Yue Fei had already joined forces.
They were stationed on a small hill.
Zhuge Liang had 800 soldiers of the Eight Formations under his command.
Yue Fei's subordinates were 400 Heavy Infantry and 500 Heavy Cavalry.
At the same time, Liao Hua and his 100 cavalry were also standing by.
On the small slope, according to the plan they had agreed on in advance.
Yue Fei's 400 Heavy Infantry soldiers were placed at the front line, with Zhuge Liang's Eight Formation soldiers beside them.
Behind them were the heavy armored cavalry and Liao Hua's vanguard cavalry.
Not long after the formation was set up.
The vanguard of the beast nest had already appeared in their field of vision.
This was a demonic beast vanguard led by a demonized mantis.
This magical beast held a huge bone blade in its hand.
As soon as it appeared, it immediately charged towards them.
On the battlefield, Yue Fei was leading the cavalry to hold the line.
Zhuge Liang was at the front line, commanding the army to start a counterattack.
"Archers, get ready!"
Zhuge Liang saw that the vanguard of the demonic beasts had already charged into the attack range.
He gave the order without hesitation.
"Shoot!"
Within the Eight Formation Diagram, a rain of arrows covered a large area.
It forcefully stopped the charging mantis demonic beast from western Zhejiang.
At this moment, Yue Fei also seized the opportunity.
He immediately ordered Liao Hua to lead the 100 vanguard cavalry and charge out.
Liao Hua got the order.
"Vanguard!" he roared.
The hundred vanguard cavalrymen under his command shouted three times.
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
"Kill them!" Liao Hua took the lead, holding a long spear in his hand, and was the first to knock away the mantis demonic beast blocking his way.
These mantis magic beasts had just been hit by the arrow rain, and their formation was in disarray.
Before he could react, he was charged by the cavalrymen again.
Immediately, they began to collapse.
Some of them wanted to fight to the death, while others wanted to retreat and reorganize their formation.
It was a mess.
Liao Hua's vanguard cavalry had actually broken through this formation.
However, their losses were not small either.
The formation of the mantis magic beasts was in disarray, but they were all magic beasts in the Grade 2 beast nest after all.
Liao Hua was a peak one-star general, and the vanguard cavalry was also a peak one-star soldier, comparable to a two-star blue.
However, there was still a gap. Moreover, these cavalrymen were only wearing inlaid armor, which was not comparable to the heavy armor of Yue Fei's cavalrymen.
This time, they had lost thirty vanguard cavalry on the spot. Most of them had been pulled off their warhorses by the magical beasts and died in a siege.
Although Liao Hua had lost so much in one go.
However, his aura suddenly flourished. The charge just now had directly raised Liao Hua's level to level 3.
This was the advantage of a 1-star general. They had less experience to level up, but they leveled up quickly.
He regrouped and prepared to charge into the formation again.
Coincidentally, at this moment, within the Eight Formation Diagram, a team of spearmen strode towards the defeated mantis magical beast and surrounded it.
A pincer attack.
In just a short moment.
The vanguard mantises in this grade 2 beast nest were all killed.
In the first test, Xu Fei's army lost 30 soldiers, and the allied army of the demonic beasts lost 800 soldiers.
After Liao Hua returned to the formation, Zhuge Liang assigned him a new task.
Although they were cavalry, the enemies they were facing were all magical beasts from Grade 2 and Grade 3 beast nests.
If they continued to fight, they would probably be completely exhausted in the next battle.
It was better to use them as messengers on the spot.
The task Zhuge Liang gave Liao Hua was:
He brought his soldiers and quickly headed to the 20 level 1 beast nests that had been broken through.
Inform the hussars who had captured these level 1 beast nests to quickly approach him.
Right now, the Marquis Champion was hiding in the dark, waiting to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
According to Huo Qubing's plan, these hussars would be used to support them on the battlefield.
After Liao Hua received the military order.
He wasn't the least bit dissatisfied. After the previous charge, he already knew his own strength.
Zhuge Liang saw Liao Hua leaving with the cavalry.
He turned to Yue Fei beside him and said.
"General Yue, I'm afraid the enemy is coming at us menacingly this time. I'm afraid we have to prepare for a fierce battle!”
Yue Fei had also noticed it through the vanguard battle just now.
The enemy's combat strength this time was probably not bad.
Although their combat strength could not compare to the five-star orange troops under their command.
However, there would definitely be a lot of them.
If they were to be attacked repeatedly and continuously, Yue Fei estimated that he and Zhuge Liang would only be able to hold on for a day at most.
Magical beasts were best at human wave tactics, using superior numbers to crush the enemy.
If they didn't have any external help, they should have retreated back to the city when facing so many enemies.
But now, they were just a force to be reckoned with.
Outside, there were also the hussars led by the Marquis Champion.
That was the power to win.
They only needed to delay the enemy as much as possible.
"Victory or defeat will depend on the Marquis Champion."”
…
The news of the battle between the vanguard and the commander of the allied army of Demon and Beast quickly reached the commander.
It was a human-snake hybrid, a half-human, half-snake magical beast.
Snake-men were considered highly intelligent among magical beasts.
Within the White Deer Hill territory, there were four Grade 3 beast nests.
They were all Naga's nests, and the Naga were the rulers here.
The serpent-men leading the army were called Ayer.
It was the leader of the serpent-men.
He was so angry that he directly summoned his army and charged over aggressively.
However, before his reinforcements could arrive, the 20 Grade 1 beast nests under his command had been breached.
Then, they heard the news that the vanguard had been killed by the enemy.
Two consecutive bad news calmed the Naga's furious mind.
He gave the order for the entire army to temporarily stop advancing and rest for two hours.
He summoned his general and announced two pieces of news.
These Magical Beast Generals were all very intelligent.
After hearing the two pieces of news, he immediately understood.
The human city lord opposite him was probably not ordinary.
Just as they were discussing whether they should continue attacking.
An intelligence officer ran in.
"Reporting, Lord Patriarch, according to the latest intelligence, the human city lord did not send out many troops this time, not even 2,000.”
As soon as he finished reporting, another person came in.
"Reporting, Lord Chief, the Magi have sent an oracle. If we kill the southern city lord, our beast nest will be upgraded to level 4.”
The two pieces of news instantly ignited the atmosphere in the entire hall.
These magical beast generals began to request for battle one by one.
"Even if they are strong, we can still kill them if we continue to fight a war of attrition.”
"That's right, leader. Since the Lord Magus has received the oracle, we only need to kill a city lord in the south and our home will be upgraded to a level 4 beast nest. Why don't we follow God's will!”
"These armies must be the armies of the human city lords.”
"Sooner or later, they will fight. I didn't expect him to actually go out of the city to fight and give up the advantage of defense. It's simply helping our race. Lord Patriarch, please let me be the vanguard and destroy them!”
"Yes, Lord Patriarch, this is a great opportunity. We can't hesitate. Give the order to continue advancing.”
Yerif, as the chief, looked at his generals.
Although he was somewhat afraid of the enemy's strength, since he had already received the oracle, a war was inevitable.
Just as his general had said, since the human city lord dared to send troops out to fight in the wild, he would give up on a good city and not defend it.
In that case, he couldn't blame himself.
No matter how strong the enemy was, they would only have less than 2000.
He had tens of thousands of troops under him, and they would be crushed to death.
He waved his hand!
He issued the battle order.
"Agaf, you will now lead the strongest troops of our people to the back of this enemy, block their retreat, and attack their rear.”
The Naga named Agaf stuck out his tongue and said sinisterly,""Yes, Lord Patriarch!"
Then, the serpent-men tribe leader turned around and looked at the Demonized Mantis beside him.
"Tian Luo, your vanguard army has been defeated. I want you to lead your clansmen to become the vanguard of the army. Take the enemy's head and regain the lost honor.”
the mantis demon called Tian Luo said hoarsely.
"Leave it to me!"
He turned to look at the other Magical Beast Generals.
"Erlang, all of you, move out! Kill the human army and take down the human city-state!”
"Robbery!"
"Snatch food!"
"Kill them!"
The Magical Beast army surged and roared as they charged towards Yue Fei's army.
