Chapter 583: Retreat?

Like a raging wave crashing against the reef on the shore, the front-row infantry that formed the shield array was almost instantly overwhelmed by the knights of the Silver Wing Knights. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Originally, the first row of shield arrays and the spears in the gaps between the large shields would have cost the Knights of the Silver Wing, but due to the existence of this breach guarded by the punishers, the Knights of the Blade did not have a hard and strong shield array, but quickly gathered together, broke through the gap into the shield array, and then quickly spread and attacked to both sides with the breakthrough as the center.

Under such circumstances, the shield infantry immediately fell into a situation of being attacked on their backs, and the balance of the entire battle immediately tilted completely in favor of the Silver Wing Knights.

Duke Li'an's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and no one knew better than this continent super marshal what would happen next.

When the infantry formation was completely dispersed by the cavalry, of course, there was only massacre!

Duke Li'an took a deep breath: "Let our knights immediately enter the attack formation, and immediately enter the battlefield after listening to my orders!" ”

This order made the hearts of the generals around Duke Li'an sink, and one of them couldn't help but say, "But Lord Marshal, our infantry is still fighting the enemy." ”

Obviously, Duke Li'an no longer intends to use infantry to delay the speed and time of the enemy knights, but plans to directly dispatch his own cavalry and have a head-to-head confrontation with the opponent's cavalry!

But the problem is that at this moment, thousands of shield infantry are still fighting the Silver Wing Knights on the battlefield, and once the Scarlet Knights choose to launch a counter-charge at this moment, these shield infantry will likely be accidentally injured by their own people!

Duke Li'an snorted coldly, without the slightest emotion on his face: "Woman's kindness! If we don't launch a counter-charge immediately, once our shield infantry is dispersed, then everything will be over! ”

What is most feared on the battlefield, and what is most feared is, of course, a large-scale rout.

In many cases, the reason why a battle fails is simply because a certain defeated army turned back and broke up its own formation, and then was covered by the enemy, causing the original small-scale rout to instantly evolve into a rout of the whole army, and finally transformed into a major defeat!

At this moment, the Silver Wing Knights have just entered the shield array, and the shield array infantry can still support a little with a sharp spirit, once these thousands of shield array infantry are killed and dispersed, the first one affected by their rout is the blood knight cavalry phalanx not far behind the shield array infantry!

If the cavalry phalanx also falls into chaos because of this, then as long as the knights of the Silver Wing Knights take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, then at least half of the 25,000 Scarlet Knights will die here tonight!

If you want to keep the hope of victory, then you can only - a strong man breaks his wrist!

Duke Lean's order was quickly passed to the cavalry phalanx not far behind him, and the seven thousand Scarlet Knights instantly became nervous and entered a state of combat readiness.

At this time, the whining horn suddenly sounded in the sky, this horn sound was very low and majestic, under this blood-colored sky, it sounded a little more tragic in people's hearts.

Duke Li'an's body shook, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes: "This, this isβ€”"

For a moment, Duke Leanne even thought there was something wrong with his ears.

The generals of the Scarlet Knights beside Duke Li'an were also stunned, and it took a long time for someone to say in a very uncertain tone: "This horn sounds, it seems to be the Silver Wing Knights' - withdrawal trumpet?" ”

The whining sound of the horn still echoed between everyone's eardrums, and the red light of the fire shone on the Duke and the generals around him, and their faces were bright and uncertain, and everyone's face was puzzled and puzzled.

They did hear it right, this is indeed the withdrawal call of the Silver Wing Knights.

Suddenly, another person said, "Look, they're really retreating!" ”

After the horn sounded, the thousands of Silverwing Knights who had been charging around in the shield array began to cover each other and slowly retreated, slowly breaking away from the battle.

Thanks to this, the shield array of the Scarlet Knights, which had already reached the brink of collapse, gathered again and reformed a defensive line.

All this made Duke Li'an's heart even more puzzled, you must know that at this moment, the eight thousand Scarlet Knights shield array infantry are about to collapse, and the Silver Wing Knights have firmly gained the upper hand.

Even if Duke Bian An asked the Scarlet Knights to launch a counter-charge immediately, it was just a way to win in defeat, no matter what the effect of the counter-charge was, the 8,000 shield infantry of the Scarlet Knights could be said to be lost.

You must know that the entire army of the Scarlet Knights is only 25,000 soldiers, and 8,000 infantry is equal to one-third of the strength of the Scarlet Knights.

But the commander of the Silver Wing Knights on the opposite side gave up the eight thousand fat men who had been placed in front of him and had no power to fight back at this time, and directly chose to retreat?

Even Duke Lean, who has been through a hundred battles and has seen all kinds of strange schemes, has no idea what is going on.

The nearly 10,000 knights of the Silver Wing Knights did not immediately retreat after breaking away from contact with the Scarlet Knights' shield array, but formed a formation again about three hundred meters away from the Scarlet Knights' defense line.

At this moment, the infantry of the Silver Wing Knights also followed and began to slowly line up.

Duke Li'an frowned again, the commander on the other side didn't fight, he didn't go, what did he want to do?

At this moment, a general beside Duke Li'an suddenly muttered: "Could it be that the other side is going to negotiate?" ”

"Negotiations?" Duke Li'an's body shook violently, and he reacted immediately.

Judging from the posture on the other side, it is really possible to negotiate if it is not good.

But -- what to talk about?

You must know that Duke Lian has already supported the eldest prince Cleverley with iron heart at this moment, and the Silver Wing Knights on the opposite side are definitely on the side of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

There are two heirs, but only one person can sit on the throne, and neither side can make the slightest concession on this point, so this negotiation is completely impossible.

Soon, however, Duke Leanne understood why the other side was negotiating.

The center of the phalanx of the Silver Wing Knights suddenly gave way to a road, and a thousand elite Praetorian Guard soldiers escorted a few people on tall horses to walk out, although they were separated by a few hundred meters in the night, but Duke Li'an recognized several of them at once with the eyesight of the strong man of the Holy Domain.

Needless to say, the woman in the center who was held by the stars was naturally Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and on the left of Her Royal Highness the princess was Prime Minister Paul, on the right was the Marquis of Habs, and then next to him was Leo, the god of the church.

But Duke Leo's gaze lingered only briefly on these men, before falling to the young knight who was sitting on his horse dejectedly beside Leo.

It was also at this moment that Duke Leanne finally understood why the Knights of the Silver Wing suddenly chose to retreat and negotiate.

The eldest prince, Emmanuel, has fallen into the hands of the eldest princess and has become a prisoner.
