Chapter 807 The trolls in front of the battle
In other words, Flynn's total number of troops on site was around 1 million.
About 850,000 of them are players, while there are only 150,000 indigenous troops.
This number is obviously lower than previous estimates.
You know, in the initial battle plan, Flynn estimated for himself that the total number of troops at his disposal was close to 2 million!
But this does not mean that there are many troops who do not obey Flynn's command.
But it was Flynn who specially filtered the results.
Flynn himself could actually command hundreds of thousands of troops.
But among them, there are only about 50,000 to 60,000 modern new troops that Flynn himself formed and personally responsible for arranging training for.
Flynn brought all these 50,000 to 60,000 modern troops. They are a trustworthy force on the battlefield.
The strongest among them is naturally the second "Sharp Arrow" legion, but several other new legions also have considerable combat effectiveness.
I'm not bragging, I can at least have a head-to-head fight with the empire's main field army.
It would not be like those miscellaneous local princes' armies, which were directly defeated when faced with the imperial regular army.
Again, you can recruit more troops, but it's not necessary.
Similarly, under the guidance of this guiding ideology, the other lords in the country and the troops they sent to support Flynn also went through a screening process.
In fact, judging from Flynn's high requirements, most of the armies of domestic princes do not meet Flynn's own standards.
Not to mention 100%, it is estimated that more than 90% of them will have to be returned.
Especially those small and medium-sized lords, it is already very difficult for them to gather a thousand or eight hundred people.
When they can hardly make up the numbers, do you expect them to dispatch elite troops?
That is even more unrealistic.
Just to take care of everyone's emotions and give some face to the lower-level lords, Flynn, no matter how big or small the lords, no matter how poor the quality of their troops, let at least part of their troops stay.
But, only a small part.
For example, a great lord like Duke Balgruuf was originally a relatively powerful lord.
Later, after Flynn became Lord Protector, he skyrocketed and his power developed rapidly.
This time, he originally claimed to be able to dispatch 100,000 elite troops!
But after some screening, Flynn only retained 20,000 of them, and the rest were sent to the second line by Balgruuf to be responsible for logistics.
Duke Balgruuf, who is already relatively powerful and wealthy, is like this.
Not to mention other small and medium-sized lords. Many small lords came with hundreds of people. Flynn only left a few knights and their retinues to serve as frontal troops.
All others were sent to the second line to be responsible for logistics and guarding other fronts.
Because of Flynn's high standards and requirements, Flynn's front-line troops are only 1 million.
This is entirely the result of Flynn's own optimization.
It's not that Flynn really only has 1 million troops.
In Flynn's view, 1 million soldiers and horses can fully meet the needs of this battle.
After all, one life of a brave man is equivalent to N lives.
If it is not measured by the number of people, but by the number of combatants.
On my side, it is estimated that it is far more than the empire!
On the morning of the start of the battle, the empire first sent an envoy - a courtesy exchange!
The imperial envoy stood in front of the two armies and sprayed wildly at Flynn.
The messenger said a lot of pedantic words that were both smelly and lengthy.
In short, it is to condemn Flynn's behavior, how cruel it is, how it violates the law, and how perverse it is.
The empire must represent love and justice, bring Flynn to justice, and restore the old order.
Flynn turned a deaf ear to the opponent's yelling and cursing in front of the field. He didn't listen at all and didn't care at all.
It is impossible for Flynn's troops to have their morale shaken just because of a mere scolding.
But the players on the front lines were a little unable to hold back.
"Empire! I am your ancestor!"
Many players couldn't even bear their excitement and took the initiative to rush out of their own defense line and rush towards the empire - even though Flynn had arranged the deployment before and required all players to stay on the defense line and show weakness first. enemy.
The result was not what Flynn expected.
As soon as these small groups of players stepped out of the Maginot Line of Defense, they would encounter intensive long-range firepower, and they would be beaten directly into a sieve and die in vain.
Facing the long-range firepower of the empire's million-strong army, there was no possibility of survival from the surprise attack by a small group of troops.
You can clear out any small group of troops simply by relying on their numbers, without taking aim.
This is one of the reasons why Flynn did not send players to the defense line before.
The open plain outside the defense line was suitable for the Imperial Army to open up and attack, and Flynn was not going to give it away for nothing.
Players who couldn't hold it any longer saw the empire's trolls yelling and cursing in front of the formation, and because if they rushed out, they would get nothing, so their anger gradually increased.
You can't rush out, but you can't help but fight back!
Among them, the Speedy Saiyan has a specially built super heavy bow. With his big body and huge strength, he can shoot an arrow very far.
After some aiming, he said: "Brothers, watch me shoot the head off that imperial son of a bitch!"
The other brothers around him saw the Speedy Saiyan taking aim, and they all cheered him on.
"Wow! Saiyan brother! The shape of your bow is a bit domineering! Why do I feel that this bow must weigh at least 88 pounds?"
"Is this the legendary Qinglong Yanyue Bow? I wonder how powerful it is?"
"Hey, haven't you ever seen a Saiyan shoot an arrow before?"
"His Qinglong Yanyue Bow weighs 81 kilograms! It has the power of pear blossoms to bloom!"
"You will know when you watch him shoot an arrow later. The Saiyan brother shot out an arrow. It was not an ordinary arrow, it was a cruise missile!"
"Hey? Wasn't it just a Katyusha a few days ago? Now it has been upgraded to a battle axe. Then won't it become Dongfeng in a few days?"
"Stop being so stupid, look! He's cumming! Saiyan, he's cumming!"
At the focus of everyone's attention, you can see a bow and arrow that is obviously three numbers larger than the others. It is a special extra-large arrow. It is a heavy-duty armor-piercing blasting arrow known as a cruise missile, piercing the sky!
The powerful arrows made strange and shocking sound effects in the air, with extremely strong rotation and infinite lethality, and went straight towards the face of the imperial envoy!
The opponent's imperial troll envoys dare to come to the front of the battle to yell and curse, and they are not given away for nothing.
He also has certain abilities.
The two guards around the envoy, seeing a "cruise missile" coming, took a step forward to protect the envoy.
At the same time, the envoy stepped back and hid behind the two guards.
