Chapter 166: Critical
A charge close to 100,000 cavalry would definitely not be less powerful than a grandmaster-level combat skill. It was just a collective charge that caused the enchantment light curtain, which had only been repaired for less than half a day, to be completely shattered in a clatter, and the deafening shouts of killing resounded throughout the starry sky.
"Ah, no, I can't stop it, let's retreat quickly!" I don't know which soldier was the first to resist the pressure in front of the absolutely strong enemy army, and shouted.
With the first, there will be a second and third in an instant, but once this kind of war-phobia begins, the trend will quickly begin to spread, out of control, people's herd psychology is terrible, even those students who were originally a little morale, at this time also drooped their heads, feeling that it is indeed impossible to do.
"Shut up!" Leon roared, "Do you know why the enemy chose to attack Churchill even though he knew that it would take a long detour from here to Fordshire?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they didn't understand that the former prince in front of them was still talking such nonsense. They are all soldiers, where will they take care of so much, and the matter of fighting and commanding will be handed over to the commander-in-chief, who will only point to where to fight.
"Hehe, because the enemy looks down on you!" Just as everyone began to prepare to ignore the prince and choose to retreat, Leon sneered and said a shocking word.
Before the soldiers could react, Leon continued: "The enemy has divided his forces into two places, leaving the shortcut of Barofys County, but passing by us, have you not thought why? ”
Leon's voice became more and more unscrupulous, and some of the slightly bloody soldiers clenched their fists, clenching their teeth but not speaking.
"Indeed, the enemy is stronger than we imagined, and just as they thought, you are just cowards without eggs, and you have begun to think about running for your life before you have even fought. Let's go, if you want to escape, run for your life, if you think you can survive alone without this battlefield, go away, I won't stop you. Even if all of you are gone and no one is left, I will still stand here and help you stop the army behind you, even if it only buys you an extra second. ”
Leon's originally high voice gradually softened, and he looked at the soldiers who still had panicked expressions on their faces in the night, "As long as you are still the people of the Saint-Franc Empire, I, the prince, have the obligation to take up the sword in my hand and fight for you, and I will never allow anyone to hurt you until I fall." ”
"Haha, okay, I've got your back!" Pol stepped forward, he had already summoned his summoned beast, the mammoth elephant's long trunk raised high into the sky, and a long whistling sound tore through the sky.
"I will also stay, I have cultivated until now, just to protect those ordinary people who are weaker than me. Ivy bit the words of ordinary people very hard, and with a deft flip and leap, she jumped onto the back of the mammoth giant.
Some third-year students also said that they would fight until the last moment, and although those first-year students were still very scared, many students stood up, and they didn't want to be regarded as ordinary people in Ivy's mouth.
The soldiers were shaken, they dared to come out of this crisis in the southern region at a time that required great courage, what man did not have a little blood? It was really unprecedented for them to be called cowardly like this
First time.
"Made! fight with them! Even if you escape, where can you flee to, sooner or later you will die, it is better to die a heroic death, maybe someone will remember me in the future!" one of the commanders with my mace stood up and shouted. His voice was loud, as if he was emboldening himself.
"Yes, fight with them. Lao Tzu is not a coward!"
"Kill, let these Eastern Regions miscellaneous pieces who dare to look down on us take a good look, even if we are wiped out, we will have to tear off a piece of meat from them!"
Just as the soldiers were excited, there was a rumbling sound from the ruined walls not far away, which was made by the cavalry as they rushed into the city.
Leon smiled and waved the long sword in his hand, "Kill, now we have no way out!"
"Kill!"
The 80,000 soldiers with a complete structure, based on 50,000 noble private soldiers, and the other 30,000 mercenaries as reserves, all broke out with a strong fighting spirit at this time.
The infantry lined up in a neat formation, without any command at all, and the hoplites in the front row instantly formed a position and prepared to meet the first wave of the enemy's cavalry charge.
The hoplites carried large black tower shields, and the sharp barbs on the shields were the best defense against cavalry charges.
Countless cavalry were the first to face the infantry's tower shield after entering the city, and in an instant, the cavalry in the front row fell in large pieces.
And the pikemen who hid behind the heavy infantry could accurately deliver a fatal blow to those cavalry in the gaps in the tower shield every time.
But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the sky lit up with dazzling firelight, and four huge fireballs fell from the sky and smashed into the rear of the Southern Regions army.
"Not good, defend quickly!" Leon reminded loudly when he saw this.
It's a pity that although Ivy and the others have already laid out defensive means in time, they are only a hundred people, and it is absolutely impossible to defend against an army of tens of thousands. The magic shield enveloped the extremely limited area, and finally a fireball exploded in the crowd, and there was a scream and wail.
Countless soldiers were smashed into pulp on the spot, and some of the surrounding soldiers who were not hit at the first time were also ignited by the raging fire and turned into burning people in an instant.
The terrible thing about war is that no one knows what they will do in the next moment.
"Ahh......h Combined with Ivy's powerful ice shield defense, she is almost invincible wherever she passes, and no one can stop her.
A large group of magicians who followed behind Ivy also used the huge size of the mammoth to cover it, constantly releasing magic, sneaking up on the army of the Eastern Regions, just a few minutes, in this small area, the soldiers of the Eastern Regions were defeated and had no power to fight back.
Although compared to the size of the entire battlefield, the counterattack on the side of the academy students seemed so pale and weak, it still made Bahaya's pupils shrink sharply.
With his character, where would such a thing be allowed.
With a false grip in the air with his right hand, a lightning sword instantly took shape, like a spear, aiming at Ivy who was sitting on the back of a mammoth giant elephant, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Whoosh!" The lightning sword brought up a piercing white light, and quickly flew in the direction of Ivy, the speed was extremely fast, as if it was true
It's like lightning in the sky.
"Be careful!" Pol had been sharing his ability to summon the beast, so he noticed something was wrong at the first time, but it was still too late for him to find out. An image flashed through my mind, which was the poignant scene of Ivy being pierced in the shoulder by a lightning sword, bringing up a large patch of blood.
Pol didn't think about it at all, and his body subconsciously blocked in front of Ivy while shouting caution.
Poof!
"Ahh
"You...... This ......" Ivy had been made incoherent by the sudden change at this time, and she didn't know what to say when she saw this scene.
She placed Bol across the mammoth's back, and the lightning sword that pierced Pol's body continued to emit terrifying energy, leaving her at a loss.
"Ahem...... Don't worry, I won't be dead for a while. Pol smiled awkwardly at Ivy. The powerful current constantly stimulated his body, making him feel pain and numbness all over his body, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.
The golden ape named Pock felt the weakness of his master, and desperately jumped on the back of the mammoth, and stood by Pol's side in fear, and even had human tears in his eyes.
Ivy was calm enough, and even in such a situation, she recovered her emotions as soon as possible, and opened three defenses on her side, surrounding herself and Pol in the middle, so as not to be attacked again.
Despite this, without her powerful attacks and defenses, the mammoth was soon surrounded. Countless spears and blades beckoned towards the mammoth's body, and the mages of the enemy army would occasionally carry out deadly sneak attacks on them.
But the worse thing is not only that, but in just a few encounters, the huge force advantage of the Eastern Regions has been revealed, and the perfect combination of troops with the cavalry bow is like a fish in water on such a battlefield.
Although the heavy infantry in the front row of the Southern Regions was stubbornly resisting, the situation changed in an instant after the infantry in the rear of the Eastern Regions army had already followed up with crossbowmen.
The overwhelming rain of arrows suppressed the already overstretched army in the Southern Regions, and the situation was even more passive. In order to be able to defend against the attack, most of the mages were unable to participate in the attack, and could only rely on their weak crossbowmen to harass the opposing army of heavy infantry advancing slowly. Such a painless attack became like chicken ribs.
The cavalry team that was gradually liberated by the rear army soon began to detour, detouring from the left and right sides, and gradually surrounded the army of the Southern Regions in the middle.
Leon, who was looking at everything in front of him, was very calm in his eyes at this time, in the face of such a critical moment, he seemed to have made a very difficult decision, his eyes instantly burned with majestic battle intent, and he roared, "The Saint-Franc Empire, never compromise easily." ”
Before the roar was over, his whole body jumped high, and turned into a brilliant white light in the sky, illuminating the entire sky!
