Chapter 493: The Battle of Devil's Lake
Chapter 493: The Battle of Devil's Lake
"Bang!"
The calm surface of the Devil's Lake suddenly exploded, and a black and vigorous figure jumped into the air. The Red Demon patrol soldiers on the shore of the lake looked up in amazement, and saw an unusually strong death charge war horse standing high in the air, looking up to the sky and neighing, and on horseback, sat an equally tall black-armored knight, holding a huge and long axe spear in his hand, and countless small lightning bolts wrapped around the surface of the axe and spear were clearly visible in the moonlight!
"Hum—"
At this time, the black-armored knight raised the axe gun upward, and the axe suddenly burst out with strong thunder, and these thunderbolts converged sharply in the sky, almost instantly condensed into a photoelectric axe gun that was at least hundreds of meters long!
"Bang!"
As the black-armored knight made a downward stabbing action, the photoelectric axe gun above the knight suddenly went down towards the Holy Sepulchre Guardian Barracks below, and then exploded, causing a huge explosion, in addition to the lightning that burst out, dozens of tents were also blown away!
"Attack!"
With the angry shouts of the black-armored knights in the sky, countless death knights who were also riding death charging horses continued to pour out from the surface of the lake, and then charged towards the military camp on the shore of the lake with death riding spears!
As it turned out, the army of the Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre had clearly neglected the Death Knights, and as if they had decided that they had taken Purgatory City, they had only set up a rudimentary wooden fence around the barracks. Now this fence was easily picked open by the Death Knights' cavalry, followed by a large number of Death Knights galloping towards the military camp inside, picking up tent after tent, and countless Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre, who had not yet understood what was happening, were lifted into the air in a sleepy haze!
For a while, the camp of the Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre's army was filled with the wails of the Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre before death and the neighing of the Death Charging War Horse, bloody and chaotic! Before the Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre could react, the Death Knight at the forefront had already advanced a hundred meters into the depths of the camp!
However, after breaking through to this depth, the Death Knight at the front did not continue to rush inside, but began to turn his horse's head and began to charge on both sides!
Looking down from the sky at this time, if the barracks of the Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre army are compared to an apple, then at this moment this apple is being quickly peeled from the periphery by the Death Knights!
Judging from this operation, it is enough to see Aldrich's mature and experienced way of commanding the operation - although the Death Knights took advantage of the surprise, in the face of the huge army of 500,000 Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre, it is impossible for them to eat all the enemies at once;
Therefore, Aldrich steadily chose the combat method of 'peeling apples', so that he could eat the enemy 100 meters outside the enemy first, and at the same time, he could realize the convergence of the landing troops in three directions before the enemy reacted, and at the same time maintain the maximum mobility of the Knights! After all, for cavalry, the biggest advantage is speed!
"Report to the archon, our barracks have been raided by the Death Knights!" Commander of the Center of the Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre, Adjutant Vilov reported to Elliot with a solemn expression.
Elliott's expression was not so solemn, looking at the Death Knights in the distance like a black belt constantly pulling, and the corners of his mouth even raised a strange smile: "Aren't we destroying the church of the Inquisition and burning the believers these days just to force them out of the city? ”
As he spoke, he saw Elliot staring at his adjutant suddenly and solemnly, "What I asked you to prepare before, how are you preparing?!"
"Back to the archon, everything is ready!" said Vilov solemnly.
"That's good. Hearing this, Aldrich couldn't help but smile, looked mockingly at the Death Knights in the distance and said, "Let them kill now, the more they kill, the more painful the price they will have to pay!"
"Under the strategy of the archon, this time the Death Knights will definitely be defeated, and may even be wiped out!" Vilov said with a cruel smile on his face.
"Haha-"
In less than half an hour, the three landing forces of the Death Knights converged and continued to strangle inward!
The military camp of the Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre is located on the shores of Devil's Lake, directly opposite the Purgatory City, and the military camp stretches for fifty miles. However, this is still too dense for the Death Knights, even if the range of the spread reaches fifty miles, the barracks of the Holy Sepulchre Guardian army look like a large pine cone on top of each other! And for cavalry combat, the most important thing is undoubtedly speed, and to ensure speed, you need a spacious space! Therefore, many Death Knights are constantly picking and killing the Holy Sepulchre Guardian soldiers, and at the same time, they are constantly taunting each other like a pile of rats!
"Poof—"
"Ahh
As a dark shadow flew by, a shivering Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre soldier who was hiding in a tent was suddenly picked up by a death knight and finally faded into a burning tent.
"Is this the so-called Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre, it's just vulnerable!" Seeing that the area had been completely emptied, the Death Knight who had stopped at the horse couldn't help but laugh with disdain.
"It's really quite weak, we knew that the enemy was like this, we didn't need to be forbearant at all, and we didn't even need to engage in any surprise attacks, just one charge will crush the enemy!" another death knight from the same squad also echoed.
"The Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre didn't have such a huge scale originally, and the people we killed just now should have been newly recruited. The true guardians of the Holy Sepulchre within this meeting should be ready for battle, and we can't take it lightly!" the third Death Knight made a more cautious point.
"I really can't stand Zag's cautious temperament!" said the Death Knight who spoke at the beginning with a slight displeasure, "You also said that the original scale of the Holy Sepulchre Guardian Order was not very large at all, even if it was a real Holy Sepulchre Guardian, how many people could there be?" In the face of our 100,000 knights and 150,000 followers, they will definitely die!"
"Don't forget, there are still 100,000 Northern Luo cavalry stationed in the rear of the enemy!According to intelligence, there are also 20,000 Northern Luo Cavalry!" The third death knight remained cautious.
"Northern Luo cavalry, those damned rebels, sooner or later we will have to hang the heads of all of them on the city gates!" the first death knight to speak suddenly said with murderous intent.
"Bastard, what are you guys doing?, are you going to be court-martialed?!" At this time, a cavalry spear smashed horizontally at the three of them, smashing their armor to the ground with a "bang" sound, almost smashing the three of them off their horses at the same time!
But none of the three death knights who were majestic when they killed people dared to speak up, because this black-armored knight was their squad leader, their immediate boss!
By the hour of the battle, the Death Knights had successfully advanced the battle line to the inside of the Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre's army camp for two hundred meters! At this time, the Death Knights had fallen under the Death Lance, and the Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre had more than 50,000 soldiers who did not know their fate or death, while the Death Knights had almost zero casualties!
This outstanding feat deeply inspired every Death Knight and Knight Servant, even after a super-heavy trek of more than forty miles through the bottom of the Devil's Lake, followed by another hour of fighting, but not a single cavalryman was tired at this time!
However, now the Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre in the rear have undoubtedly woken up and are quickly organizing a counterattack - a large number of Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre are holding spears and shields, constantly pouring from the rear to the front, using their shields and their own lives to resist the onslaught of the Death Knights!
However, in the eyes of the Death Knight, who was galloping fast, the enemy's resistance was just a struggle before death, and they would have to take their last breath sooner or later!
"Die, heretic!"
A Death Knight stabbed his spear at a Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre whose shield had been knocked down, and looked at the other man's pupils that had shrunk into pin-eyed eyes and a pale face, his face hidden under the fully covered helmet raised a hideous smile, as if he could already meet the blood that was about to soar in the next moment!
"Boom—"
Seeing that he was about to stab the guardian of the Holy Sepulchre, the Death Knight suddenly felt a sudden tremor on the ground! The next moment, the mounted spear that had been stabbed out did not stab the enemy as the Death Knight expected, but plunged directly into the stone!
And this Death Knight is not the only one to pierce a stone with a riding spear, a similar scene has happened almost all over the front line of the battlefield!
At this moment, many Death Knights looked in disbelief at the stone wall that suddenly stood in front of them, and the enemies standing on top of the stone wall—just now, as the mountain shook, the ground under the feet of those Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre who were at the forefront suddenly rose from the ground, and stone pillars bulged upward!
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
The row of stone walls standing at the front of the battlefield is not very high, and the average height is less than two meters. However, to the shock of the 200,000 cavalry of the Death Knights, behind the first stone wall of the battlefield, one stone wall after another was constantly uplifted, one higher than the other, and on each stone wall stood the Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre with a javelin bag on his back!
"Whoa, whoa!"
The next moment, dense javelins were thrown from the sky, denser than rain, faster than the wind!
"Retreat, retreat, this is a trap laid by the enemy!" one of the flag officers shouted in a terrible manner, as he lowered the heraldic cavalry spear he had been holding alof—on the battlefield, the knight with the heraldic cavalry was the guide of the cavalry, and he could no longer be a guide at this moment!
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The Knights of Death were worthy of being the first of class knights in the Valley of the Dawn, and they did not panic excessively even in the face of such a predicament that would make anyone desperate, and under the leadership of the changing flag officer, the rear became the vanguard, the latter erected a knight's shield to resist the enemy's javelin, and the cavalry who changed the vanity began to use their knightly skills to bombard the stone wall that stood in the way!
Under the combined blow of a large number of knightly skills, the stone wall in the rear was quickly broken one after another large holes, and the remaining cavalry suddenly frantically exited these big holes. However, even if there are not as many stone walls in the rear as there are in front, there is more than one! While the Death Knights continue to break through the stone walls, countless cavalry have fallen under the javelins of the Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre!
"It's out!"
Looking at the suddenly empty field of vision in front of him, a Death Knight at the forefront couldn't help but let out a heartfelt cheer!
But at this moment, the death knight only felt a tremor on the ground, which had almost merged into his blood, and he immediately realized that it was the tremor caused by thousands of war horses galloping at a rapid pace!
"Knight of Beiluo, kill!"
As he turned his head to look, he saw a large black shadow rushing in this direction! With the help of the moonlight, he could faintly see a heraldic cavalry spear fluttering with a golden holy sword—that is, the Knight of Beiluo!
