Chapter 599: The Battle of Mandalay (6)

It's not that the generals of the Moreka Empire are incompetent, and it can't be said that their warriors are not brave, but after the Odiga Empire existed in name only, they did look down on this once behemoth. In the eyes of most Moreca people, the civil war in the Odiga Empire was nothing more than a joke, as for the aliens in the Cordillera army...... Well, they admit that those barbarians, half-orcs are physically strong and hideous-looking, but can those people fight? If these aliens can also become real warriors, how can they be driven by the human race into the deep mountains and old forests, or used as slaves.

As a result, the Knights of Moreca became the first to eat crabs and be caught by crabs. Maev would have loved to see Viscount Obato deflated, but if the Knights were annihilated by the enemy under his nose, even if he won the war, he would not be left behind - the Knights were all of the Empire's most famous families, and their saliva could drown him.

The cavalry, who was already eager to try, raised their spears at the first time, and the murderous aura of the snow bright spear tip was condensed, and a calm aura permeated the entire cavalry ranks.

Walter. Jobs immediately sensed the change in the situation, as the strongest among the knights, he had a much stronger perception than the average knights, and the powerful and incomparable murderous aura coming from the rear of the opponent's formation was obviously the enemy's cavalry.

At this time, all the mines have exploded, and only the mortars are still attacking, but the Molaika knights, who have lost most of them, finally embody the quality of knights at this time, and the battlefield is relatively wide. It also gives them more room to dodge.

Walter. Jobs had to admit that although his opponent was very immature in terms of combat experience, he should not be taken lightly in terms of strength. With its heavy accumulation and long history, this knight group still has a fairly strong foundation, and if you underestimate the other party because of this, you can only suffer from yourself.

At this moment, there was a heavy and neat rhythm on the ground. Jobs's face changed slightly, and he made the decision to give up the counterattack and retreat immediately at the first time, the enemy's cavalry did not want to pay attention to the unity of formation like the knights, and once the attack came, it would hardly give himself much room to maneuver. To avoid this kind of face-to-face confrontation. The only way to leave is to get out before the other person has a seizure...... This is actually him and Tommy. Cooper agreed on a tactic.

The spear shadow and knife qi were wildly agitating in this large canyon. The knights of the Knights of the Castle fought and retreated, and after retreating for nearly two thousand meters, they no longer retreated, but became tough. Even the Knights of Moreka were supported by strong cavalry. They are still extremely tenacious. The Moreca cavalry had to scramble their formations to adapt to the low but complex terrain, especially the damned bushes and craggy stalagmites, which were almost everywhere. To organize a decent charge formation is simply a luxury.

Maev also quickly realized the mistake he had made, although the canyon was wide, the terrain was very complicated, the bushes and stalagmites were crisscrossed, although his cavalry had a numerical advantage, but there was no way to fully exert their combat effectiveness, and the Kasef knights still maintained a fairly strong resistance force, their strange performance made Maev's heart weak, and for a moment, he wanted to withdraw his troops from the canyon.

Judging from the performance just now, the other party did lay a trap in this canyon, but it seems that it is only against the Knights, and the infantry of the Cordillera Army is so far away, and there are no ambushes on the cliffs on both sides, what kind of conspiracy will there be?

Do they think that with those Kasef knights they will be able to stop their army here?

Mayev was a little puzzled, he didn't think that with the strength of the Knights of Kasef, he would be able to hold out in front of his own army and the infantry from thirty miles away would rush to reinforce him...... That's too much to underestimate the strength of the Moleka Imperial Army!

Other than that, the scouts didn't find the Cordillera soldiers who had used the new weapons, and where were they ambushed? What do you want to do? If the new weapons were exhausted, the Knights of Cassef would not last long, and Maev kept cheering himself up, but a sense of foreboding always lingered in his heart

Woo~

The desolate, majestic sound of the horn echoed in the air, and Mayev raised his head with some trepidation, looking at the thunder knight who suddenly appeared in the sky, his face was already difficult to see.

Miles away from the canyon entrance...... The ground was dusty, and tall and burly figures rushed out of the ground, holding weapons, and quickly tidied up their bodies while running, and dozens of priests hurriedly followed in carriages.

That's Tommy. Coober's ambushes, which are not very feasible under normal circumstances...... It's okay for one or two people to dig a pit for themselves and bury it in it, but it is easy for nearly 10,000 people to dig a pit, and it is difficult to bury it without being discovered.

But Tommy. Cooper had another idea, this time there were no magicians with the army, but there were priests, and they could easily deceive the scouts by means of tricks, and when Maev received the news from the scouts, he also saw the dust rising in the distance...... Maev's heart almost stopped.

What's going on?!

Where did the Cordillera Army come from? They should be at least thirty miles away...... In other words, they still need at least one magic hour or more to appear on the battlefield, and now they are just showing their teeth and claws in front of them?

Maev's thinking came to a standstill, but Tommy. Cooper did not give the other party any chance to reflect, and immediately ordered the infantry to attack, and almost at the same time, the artillery bombardment that had just stopped began again, and the knight of Lei Peng in the air began to throw a cylinder downward.

"Be careful!"

An officer shouted, surrounded by the sound of mortar shells exploding, and the steel storm swallowed up one life after another, and the cavalry also fled in panic without him shouting.

However, when the cylinders hit the ground, there was only a few 'thuds', and then clouds of purple smoke rose up to the nearest horses and cavalry. It was as if someone had suddenly pulled out of his spine, and he fell softly.

"It's poisonous smoke! It's poisonous smoke! Spread out! A clever cavalryman shouted hoarsely.

But the horses fled in panic, bringing a stronger wind, and the smoke spread faster, and large swaths of cavalry fell in the smoke, and the infantry of the Cordillera army finally rushed to the battlefield.

Shout! Shout! Shout......

With a wave of thick arms, several spears were fired at the cavalry as they were about to retreat out of the canyon...... At this time, there were some traps, and at that time, in order to support the battle ahead, Maev switched positions between the heavy cavalry and the light cavalry. Don't look at the fact that it didn't make any difference when you entered the canyon. But when it comes out, it's very different.

The heavy cavalry, which was already heavily equipped, made it difficult to turn around, and the light cavalry in front, having been attacked, began to shrink back. So. The team was immediately in disarray.

Follow the usual training. Three or five barbarian warriors or orc warriors formed into battle groups, wielding maces, shields, and spears, and launched an attack on the Moreka army.

The Moleka people at the moment had no idea that such a situation would befall them. The imaginary knightly duel has become a mess, and the tactics that were originally arranged to prepare cavalry to attack the infantry have also been declared bankrupt...... In the current situation, the cavalry simply could not gain enough distance to attack, and some cavalry simply jumped off their mounts and fought the enemy on foot with their weapons. The more miserable is the heavy armored cavalry, they are wearing heavy armor, no one helps, they can't take it off, at this moment almost become the target of the infantry, the huge mace smashed on the iron armor, within a few clicks, those heavy armored cavalry only had to vomit blood.

Maev watched as his small group of light cavalry was besieged by several small-scale attack camps of the other side, and after a few rounds, they were completely defeated, and they didn't even have a chance to escape, and those damned barbarians and orcs had already blocked every possible way to escape, using the spears and maces in their hands, one by one, like a string of gourds, their carefully trained cavalry warriors were nailed to death under the spears, or they were beaten to the point of losing their human form by the mace.

Messy but not lacking in rules, fierce and not losing the way, this is the conclusion of Maev's observation, these orcs and barbarians are definitely not rude in their way of fighting, they are all soldiers with strict formal training, especially those in the small attack group, the role of the commander is quite obvious, the order is forbidden, the advance and retreat are orderly, and their own cavalry is quite flexible and changeable compared to the old-fashioned and dogmatic knights, but compared to these fierce alien warriors, there is still a big gap, In particular, the difference in class and geographical environment made his cavalry unable to give full play to its advantages, but was firmly entangled in this quagmire by the other party, which made Mayev feel extremely angry and depressed.

In this case, it should be the wisest choice to evacuate his cavalry as soon as possible, Maev knew that it would be quite difficult to issue this order at this time, and it might bring him death, there were Kasef knights blocking the road in front, there were Lei Peng knights in the air to watch, and the back road was also blocked, if you want to kill it, it is not easy to kill!

Tommy. Cooper excitedly watched the battle situation in front of him, the other party was obviously a little anxious, the Molaika Knights were so caught in it that their superior cavalry could not get out, their formation was already in chaos, although the commander was in a hurry to get out, but it seemed too late at this time.

Tommy. Cooper looked at the other party with some pity, it would take seven inches to hit a snake, and to fight a poisonous snake was to kill it with a stick, otherwise it would eat back. The current Molaika people are like this, and they can only sleep if they are completely knocked down.

The barbarians who have gone berserk are completely in a state of madness, they can completely ignore the threats around them and only seek to achieve their goals, in many cases the barbarian berserkers are scarred but still fight until the last breath of life, and the orcs are no less than their barbarian colleagues, their fierce bravery makes the barbarians staggered, in the face of the Moreca cavalry, they can face the hard shock, even if they are trampled by horses, they will not flinch half a step, such a fierce momentum makes the Moreca cavalry also frightened.

Mayev painfully found that the mistake he had made was almost irreparable, the cavalry was not suitable for fighting in this environment, although the space here was relatively large, but the abominable bushes and stalagmites were scattered everywhere, and there were no rules, which greatly limited the impact of the cavalry and the play of maneuverability, they could only be anxious to circle the horse there and whirl, clumsy and passive to meet the enemy's onslaught, so that the asymmetrical war could not continue at all.

But Maev also knew how expensive it would be to withdraw at this time, the barbarians and orcs would not give up this hard-won advantage easily, they would do their best to hold back their army, and every step of their army would have to pay a huge price, they also knew that once they withdrew from this canyon, they would say goodbye to the good times, and they would have to meet the counterattack of their cavalry.

No matter how costly, Maev had no choice but to retreat, and the enemy was hoping for such a war to continue...... As for the Knights of Molaika, it was only for themselves.

The Moreca cavalry, who received the order to evacuate on their own, were relieved, at this time they could no longer pay attention to any tacit understanding, as long as they could get rid of those crazy barbarians and orcs in any way and method, no matter what way and method, it was not too much, like a pair of that had been broken by the tide, scattered like mudslides, swarming backwards and escaping according to their own precise routes.

Tommy. Cooper coldly watched the telescope for the signal coming from behind the Moleka people...... Those infantry just now were only part of the troops of the Southern Front, and the real ambush was still to come. And the tenacity and tenacity of the Moreka people are also somewhat unexpected, so far in the fierce battle, the Moreka people still did not collapse, although they began to retreat, but still maintained a certain degree of counterattack ability, especially after exiting the canyon, they can immediately recover their combat strength.

Maev sensed the gravity of the problem at the first moment, and now it was useless to track down how the Cordillera infantry had appeared, and the only thing that needed to be done now was to break through the line behind him, and only by tearing through this line could the light cavalry who had just exhausted themselves from the grappling fight win a chance to retreat, otherwise everyone would have to be trapped here, strangled in this quagmire little by little.

As one order after another was given, the Moreka cavalry, which had just been disrupted by the sudden attack, began to recover, and the officers shouted to gather their soldiers and prepare to storm the Cordillera army that blocked the valley mouth. (To be continued.) )
