Volume 4 The Burning Prairie Chapter 239 - The Fight Again (3)

As soon as more than a thousand daily mercenary cavalry arrived at the battlefield, the blood-toothed wolf cavalry, which had been waiting for a long time, rushed head-on. Although the day-by-day mercenary cavalry had no time to set up a battle array, on the way to the battlefield, in order to prevent a surprise attack, the day-by-day mercenary cavalry set up a formation with heavy cavalry in front and light cavalry in the rear, so that it was convenient to charge at any time.

Now seeing the blood-toothed wolf cavalry coming, the daily mercenary cavalry immediately launched a hedge.

Among the day-to-day mercenary cavalry that launched the charge, there were about 300 hoplites dressed in plate armor. These mercenary hoplites were all placed at the forefront of the cavalry ranks, as sharp knives for assault, ready to cut through the charging formation of the blood-toothed wolf cavalry in one fell swoop.

Steely Rock and Copperbeard were at the forefront of the mercenary hoplites at the moment, leading the charge. The mounts under their crotches were different from the horses ridden by the mercenary cavalry behind them, a Kodo beast and a land ostrich.

In addition, except for Gangyan, who was holding a battle axe, and Bronze Whisker was carrying a war hammer, the weapons used by the more than 300 cavalry mercenaries and hoplite cavalry were all knightly war spears that were six meters long. During the charge, the mercenary hoplites all held their spears in their hands, the tips of their spears pointed upward, and then when they were only a few hundred meters away from the rushing blood-toothed wolf cavalry, they urged their horses to accelerate suddenly and launch a final charge. When the leader of the steel rock let out a roar of rage, the spears raised in the hands of the mercenary hoplites were suddenly lowered in pieces like felled trees, and the tips of the spears reached the enemies in front of them.

The mercenary hoplites carried the momentum of destroying everything, and they were about to chisel into the crowd of blood-toothed wolf cavalry.

However, for this standard heavy cavalry charge, the blood-fanged wolf cavalry was obviously very comfortable with it.

I saw that the dense charging formation of the blood-toothed wolf cavalry suddenly changed, and the rolling iron flow quickly dispersed to the two wings, and they didn't intend to face the impact of the mercenary hoplites at all.

Sudden change of formation in the process of charging is a big taboo for cavalry, as long as the slightest carelessness will cause the originally neat charging formation to fall into chaos, and may even lead to the occurrence of self-trampling. However, the sudden change of formation of more than 1,000 blood-toothed wolf cavalry in front of him was as smooth as flowing water, and there was no case of people turning on their backs, which shows the superb riding skills of the blood-toothed wolf cavalry, worthy of the title of the most elite cavalry of their orcs.

The charging mercenary hoplites suddenly threw themselves into the air, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly reined in their horses, trying to stop their horses. But the horses were swept away by the reins under the tremendous inertia of galloping, but they still rushed out of a long distance with the heavily armed cavalry on their backs, and only then did Herod neigh and raise his hooves to stop.

For the mercenary hoplites who rushed over, the blood-toothed wolf cavalry didn't care about them at all, but pounced on the mercenary light cavalry behind them from both flanks.

When the mercenary hoplites turned their horses' heads again, they found that the Bloodtooth Wolf Cavalry had been mixed up with their own light cavalry, so that they could not charge again. Because if the mercenary hoplites do that, they will inflict indiscriminate damage on their own light cavalry.

In desperation, the mercenary hoplites had to give up the biggest advantage of the cluster charge, and instead rode into the battle group, each looking for a target, and joined the big melee.

However, on the mercenary side, whether it was heavy cavalry or light cavalry, after fighting with the blood-toothed wolf cavalry, although they fought bravely, their skills were not as good as others, and the casualties soon increased dramatically.

As soon as the mercenary cavalry and the blood-fanged wolf cavalry fought, they fell to the upper hand.

"Kill!" Steely Rock roared with a hideous face, swinging his battle axe, splitting a blood-toothed wolf cavalry in front of him and the wolf under his crotch into two with an axe. Immediately, the steel rock drove the Kodo beast into the middle of a group of blood-toothed wolf cavalry, and slashed fiercely, destroying this group of blood-toothed wolf cavalry one after another.

Not far from the steel rock, Copper Whisker also carried a heavy hammer and smashed it, and all the blood-toothed wolf cavalry who were hit by him had broken bones and spurted blood from their mouths.

Steely Rock and Copperbeard still shined in the unfavorable situation of the battle, killing a lot of blood-toothed wolf cavalry, becoming a rare highlight on the battlefield on the mercenary side.

After smashing the head of a blood-toothed wolf cavalryman with a bruising hammer, he suddenly saw a canine monster with curved horns behind his head and tentacles on his forehead on the battlefield, carrying a young werewolf knight and heading straight for the steel rock. Copperbeard recognized who the demonic beast and the werewolf rider on its back were, and couldn't help but shout: "Steel Rock, the blade is rushing from your left, be careful!"

At this time, Gangyan had just cut off a werewolf from the wolf's back, and after hearing the warning of the copper whiskers, he immediately raised his axe to block the left side of his body without looking.

With a bang, a scimitar slashed at the blade of the tomahawk in Gangyan's hand, causing a spark, and the huge impact force shook Blade and Gangyan each took a few steps back with their crotched mounts.

"Wild dog, look at the hammer!" Blade and Hellroar had barely gained ground from their retreat when they heard a loud roar beside them. Turning his head to look, he saw the copperbeard driving the landing ostrich running towards him, and the heavy hammer in his hand brought a whirring wind and smashed it into him.

Looking at this powerful hammer, the sharp blade's eyelids jumped, and he thought that if he took this hammer hard, the scimitar in his hand was likely to be broken. He kicked Hellwhine in the abdomen with both legs, and Hellroar leaped to the side, dodging the hammer that Copperbeard swung.

"Steelstone, let's attack him together!" Copperbeard roared at the orc warrior as he swung his hammer again at the blade.

"Understood!" Steelrock slapped Kodomon's buttocks with his tomahawk and rushed forward. Let's look for books

Before Copperbeard and Steel Rock went to Fort Riptide to participate in the Mercenary Mission Launch, they had already reached level seven. However, the two of them also knew that Blade was now an eighth-level warrior, and they knew that they were still not his opponent when fighting alone, so they chose to join forces.

"Hmph!" Looking at the orc warriors and dwarven warriors rushing together, the blade let out a soft snort, urging the hell to roar and meet it, starting a new round of confrontation with the two.

In the face of a blade that was one level higher, although Gangyan and Copperbeard joined forces, they were still defeated. Not long after the battle, the two men were in danger under the intricate knife skills and stormy attacks of the blades.

Although the blade had the upper hand, the offensive did not slow down at all, and it did not give Gangyan and Copperbeard a chance to breathe, it seemed that they were determined to kill the two on the spot today and cut off Senna's right-hand man.

Just as the orc warriors and dwarven warriors were struggling to support themselves, in the distance outside the battlefield, there were loud waves of tigers roaring and leopards groaning.

Blade's heart sank slightly, and he swung two knives in a row to force the steel rock and copper whiskers back, and looked in the direction where the sound of tigers and leopards came, and as he expected, he saw that it was those elven knights who were killed.

Although Blade had not yet fought with the elven knights, he had learned from Bart and the others that these elven knights had combat power that was not inferior to the blood-toothed wolf cavalry. Therefore, he did not dare to let the blood-toothed wolf cavalry continue to fight with the mercenary cavalry, fearing that the troops would fall into the encirclement of the elven knights.

"Lucky for the two of you today!, I'll put your two heads on your necks for the time being!" After the blade said coldly, he suddenly let out a long roar, and the blood-toothed wolf cavalry suddenly retreated at the same time, quickly leaving the battlefield like a tide.

"Chase!" the red-eyed Steelrock roared, and was about to drive the Kodo Beast to chase after the retreating blood-toothed wolf cavalry.

"Gangyan, stop quickly!" Seeing this, the copper beard next to him hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed the half-orc, and said angrily: "We have suffered a lot of casualties in this battle, so it's important to treat the wounded first!"

Gangyan was stunned for a moment, and quickly raised his eyes to scan the battlefield, and found that in this short period of time, the cavalry of the Daily Mercenary Regiment had suffered heavy losses, and more than a thousand Daily Mercenary Cavalry were killed and wounded.

Gangyan stared at the battlefield dumbfounded, and the hot blood rushing above his head gradually cooled.

The day after the battle between the mercenary cavalry and the blood-fanged wolf cavalry, Senna arrived at the coalition camp with reinforcements.

"Steel Rock, Brass Whiskers, how did I explain to you before I left, why didn't you listen to Brin's command?"

Steelstone and Brass stood in front of Senna, like two children who had done something wrong, bowing their heads in shame and not saying a word.

"Talk, don't you two talk a lot, why don't you talk now?" said Senna with a fist slamming into the desk in front of him.

He completely lost his temper.

Senna, who used to be gentle and very respectful, now his face became distorted due to extreme anger.

It's no wonder that the day-by-day mercenary group managed to defeat the orcs outside the Glory Castle and take the lead in the war with the orcs, but it ended up outside the Warsong Castle, and then suffered a meaningless defeat. And as long as Steelrock and Copperbeard didn't rush into battle, this defeat could have been avoided.

The thought of losing so many precious cavalry, Senna's heart couldn't help but drip blood!

"Copperbeard and I also thought that the morale of the brothers was high, and it happened to be the enemy attacking, so it was better to take the opportunity to fight again! We didn't think that those blood-toothed wolf cavalry would be so powerful, and the brothers would not be opponents at all!" Gangyan, who was scolded so bloody, finally couldn't help but speak, and whispered to defend himself and Copperbeard.

"The Bloodfang Wolf Cavalry is the most elite cavalry in the Beamon Empire, and in the case of a small difference in numbers, how can the cavalry of our daily mercenary regiment fight with others? It depends on your so-called morale? Sometimes, the huge gap in strength cannot be made up by morale and will alone!" Senna roared loudly as he glared at Steel Rock with both eyes.

Seeing that his defense had provoked a more violent reaction from Senna, Gangyan immediately shut up and didn't dare to open his mouth again.

Wen Leiya, who was standing next to her, saw that Senna seemed to be about to open her mouth and continue to scold, so she couldn't help but say comfortingly: "Senna, since the incident has happened, no matter how much you reprimand Gangyan now, it will be useless! You better calm down, let's discuss how to fight in the next battle!"
