Chapter 58, Foot and Horse Confrontation
Under the snowy night.
The silent clay golem walked out of the village step by step and lined up with beams, wooden pillars, ropes and stone axes.
Behind them, the soldiers were equally on standby.
The firelight flickered.
On horseback, Lanton put the arrow on the bowstring and prepared to draw the bow and shoot.
"Cheer me up!"
Tywin took out the magic scroll, looked at the snowy field, and shouted to the soldiers around him, "Even if there is a dirt golem in front of you, you can't be careless!"
"Do you hear that?"
"Yes!"
Because of the successive victories, the soldiers have great trust in their commander Tywin Lannister, as well as the powerful Sauron, Andrew, and others.
Even think they are invincible!
As the deputy commander, Chris wanted to win this battle beautifully, and seeing that the morale of the troops was like a rainbow, he didn't take the cavalry of the Elba family to heart.
This is not for everyone.
It's confidence!
"Rumble~"
The enemy's cavalry was still running mysteriously.
Tywin pondered for a moment, then decided to be bolder, "Do you hear the sound of horses' hooves?"
"Keep moving for me!"
"Forward!"
Knowing that the field was the home of the cavalry, Chris was not afraid, and raised his sword to convey the order, allowing the troops to leave the village step by step and enter the snow-covered fields.
"Rumble~"
"It's coming. ”
With divine blood, Langton's five senses are stronger than ordinary people, not transcendental, but similar to the Black Iron Rank.
"Dowling, Annie, get ready for the magic scroll. ”
"Tituba, when the fight starts, you must take care of Carrie!"
"Yes. Holding the scroll, Tithuba, who used to be just a maid, was still not very suitable for this kind of war scene even though she had experienced many battles with everyone, but she would do her best to do whatever she was told.
As a witch, the introverted Carrie is also cowardly.
Even if she heard from the soldiers about the justice of this war, under normal circumstances, she was not as brave and decisive as Anne.
Discover the glow of fire in the wind and snow.
The cavalry also knew that the enemy had left the village.
But instead of attacking immediately, they brought together four teams of hundreds.
"Simus, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Simos, one of the four captains of the hundreds, immediately replied: "Genenis has sent news that the flying mage has gone after them, and the enemy still has the courage to immediately village, and should have guessed what we are going to do." ”
"So, let's change our plans and don't try to lure the enemy into the strong, or split the attack. ”
"Harass with only crossbow arrows. ”
"Simos, isn't your idea of harassing only with crossbow arrows too cowardly?"
Another cavalry captain frowned.
Simos: "Tokarev, the enemy is not simple, the vanguard will appear here, indicating that the city of Lefebler, which has no news, has fallen. ”
"The enemy is not simple. ”
Tokarev: "I know that the enemy is very powerful, but they are only strong, but the soldiers are not powerful!"
"That's right, the soldiers who routed them. Another cavalry captain agreed: "I'm willing to lure away the bear-riding armoured man." ”
Tokarev nodded: "Al, I'll go with you!"
"Simos, my men are handed over to you, as long as you defeat their soldiers, no matter how strong the mages and armorers are, it is useless!"
"If you are not a gold-level powerhouse, the war is not decided by one person!"
Simos helplessly: "You ......"
The middle-aged knight who asked Simos first nodded and said, "Alright, Tokarev and Al, you two go and lure away the armored man riding the bear." ”
"Yes, Lord Knox!"
With his right-hand men on the move, Knox Elba is not worried about the failure of the plan.
With two short javelins in his hand and Al in his hand axes, he rode his horse towards the enemy, and when he saw that the light of the fire was clear in the wind and snow, he immediately threw his spear at the armored man riding a giant bear and threw his axe!
"Huh~" "Whew~"
Javelins and throwing axes attacked, and Sauron, who was sitting firmly on the bear's back, ignored it, and just tore open the magic scroll in his hand.
Thunderbolts of lightning, blazing fire, and flickering ice!
There has been a lesson from Erec.
Tywin, Dowling, Sauron, Chris, and the others no longer let approaching enemies use magic scrolls first, but instead directly perform magic bombardment.
"With a shield!"
As natives of the Augustian Empire, Tokarev and El were well aware that the charge would be attacked by magic, and with the shields they had prepared, they could ignore the brilliant spells with the cavalry behind them.
The javelin pierced Sauron's breastplate, and the axe broke his helmet.
However.
Possessing an inhuman body, Sauron didn't care about it.
You won't be lured out so easily by the enemy!
Looking at the enemy in the wind and snow, with the brilliance of the magic shield on his body, Lan Dun frowned: "This uses the magic shield." ”
"So how are we going to fight next?"
"They're so rich?"
"How many hundred shield scrolls are required for this, right?"
The enemy is protected by shields, and there will be no casualties at all.
"It's too sloppy......"
Seeing that the enemy used the crowd shield technique, Chris was a little helpless about this situation, hoping that the dirt golem would block the impact of the warhorse.
Sauron: "This should be a crowd shield. ”
"Intermediate magic scrolls. ”
"Time-bound. ”
"How long?" asked Langton quickly.
Sauron didn't know either, so he said, "Don't worry, the Earth Golem can stop them." ”
"Crossbowman steady!"
Tywin, hearing this, did not order the soldiers to release the arrows, but only waited for the enemy's shield to pass, and began to think about what to do if he encountered such a situation in the future.
"The shield bearers have given me the shields to stabilize for the time being!"
The javelin and the axe were effective, but the armored man on the bear's back was fine, casually threw away the two weapons, and then looked at them coldly.
Al immediately said, "Simos's caution is not wrong. ”
"The enemy is strong!"
Tokarev slowed down his horse and was ready to turn: "Then don't rush!"
"Let's go back and report to Master Knox. ”
"They're going to run?"
Seeing that the enemy was about to rush to the front of the battle formation, suddenly slowing down and turning, Langton was a little anxious: "If they play like this all night, they will definitely not be able to hold on." ”
Tywin frowned, "You want the infantry to chase the cavalry?"
"It's just a cavalry. ”
"There are still three cavalry teams that are not moving, and if the Dirt Golem goes after them, we are in danger. ”
The infantry with short legs did have too much helplessness in the face of the cavalry that came and went like the wind.
Hearing this, Langton sighed.
Secretly said that he was still too tender......
Then he asked, "If we had retreated to the village to defend, would the situation not be so passive?"
Sauron: "No, if we are cowering in the village to defend, we will be more passive, and even give the enemy a chance to call for support, and then we can only wait for death in the village." ”
Langton: "But there's no way to go on like this." ”
"The enemy will continue to disperse our forces. Sauron, based on the current situation, made up his mind and said, "I'll go out and lead a cavalry team." ”
The giant bear left the battle formation from the side.
Al, Tokarev and the others, who turned around, found that they decisively relied on the shield on their bodies to turn again, and then ordered the crossbowmen to attack the armor man from a distance.
The diamond-shaped hammer swung as Sauron swept away the rain of arrows.
Volibel was too large to be inevitably shot by a feathered arrow.
Because the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the vital point is protected by steel armor, this small injury is similar to a mosquito bite, but it hurts a little if you can't die.
And so, the enraged giant bear roared and charged!
"Here, let's run!"
The plan to attract the enemy's main combat force was successful, and El and Tokarev immediately ran wild with their cavalry.
"Crossbowman keeps shooting!"
"Hang him!"
"Al and Tokarev succeeded. ”
The subordinates did not return, and Knox Elba also knew that the plan was going well, so he looked at Simos and smiled: "It's up to you now!"
Simos nodded: "Please rest assured!"
With that, he led the two cavalry teams into action, and the horses galloped, and the hoofs roared again.
"It's coming. ”
Hearing the movement, Lanton drew his longbow again, and everyone prepared to use the magic scroll.
However.
Simos did not lead the cavalry to charge directly into the battle array, but circled the periphery of the battle array, and used the magic scroll when the magic release distance was reached.
The troops are lined up in battle formations, and the outermost part is the Earth Golem, which is not afraid of magic bombardment.
Ordinary soldiers hide behind them without casualties.
But the cavalry can quickly detour and attack the standing battle formation from all sides, and Tywin, Chris, Annie, and Tituba use magic scrolls to fight back, and they can't do much damage to the enemy.
It's too passive......
Langton pulled his bow and fired two arrows in a row, but he didn't kill the enemy: "They used the group shield technique again?"
"If you continue to fight like this, can you win?"
"Yes!" Tywin said categorically, "War horses will get tired!"
Hearing this, Langton immediately got up.
Not to mention, he forgot about this, thinking that the war horse has unlimited physical strength and is a perpetual motion machine......
Carrie on the side said weakly: "But people are tired faster than horses......"
Knowing his own advantages, Langton hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's okay, let's wait for work." ”
Tywin said, "Keep some magic scrolls, although we have captured a lot, we can't use them up in this battle." ”
The cavalry is moving fast, and there is magic shield protection.
There isn't much benefit to using magic scrolls to attack each other.
Hearing this, everyone put away the scrolls one after another.
Langton thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we buy a flaw?"
Tywin understood what he meant, and there was some hesitation on his face: "Attract them to attack?"
After a brief pause, he shouted to the soldiers around him and asked, "Did you all hear Gabry's words?"
"My lord, what are we going to do?"
The soldier next to him hurriedly asked.
Tywin: "Pretend to be panicked and want me to teach you?"
"Gabry, let the dirt golems on the periphery not stand so neatly and make the formation chaotic!"
"Chris, you lead someone to shout attack for me!"
"Dowling, you take some of the people to pretend to retreat to the village!"
With one order after another, there was a slight chaos in the battle formation, and under the magic attacks and crossbow bolts of the surrounding cavalry, the chaos of the soldiers began to intensify.
"The enemy will not be able to stand. ”
Seeing the lit torches in the wind and snow become chaotic, Knox Elba knew that Simus's disturbance worked.
But Seamos didn't think it was messy enough.
In this kind of small chaos, the enemy still has a chance to regroup, and it is impossible to determine the victory or defeat in one rush.
However, seeing an opportunity, Knox Elba wants to catch it!
The weather is cold, even if the Northlanders resist the cold, they are not willing to continue to stay in the field and endure the wind and snow, and the enemy army is about to attack Black Rock Fort.
Face an enemy army of unknown origin and number.
The Elba family will definitely not be able to fight against it, at most they will huddle in the castle and wait for support, and they will leave a useless impression in the heart of the Duchess of Theron, they must destroy the vanguard of this enemy!
"Everyone, straighten up and ride the gun!"
"Rush!"
"Woo~"
The horn of the charge sounded, and the war horse and the knight turned into a gallop!
"Lord Knox is in such a hurry?!"
Seeing this, Simos, who also led the cavalry to harass, frowned, feeling that the enemy had a chance to regain his position, and rushed over so quickly that he could not be defeated with one blow.
and even fall into the calculating ......
But the battlefield is changing rapidly, and bold generals are willing to gamble in order to seize the opportunity to win!
"It's coming!"
In the midst of the battle, Tywin shouted, "Everyone is acting according to plan!"
"Don't mess up after the enemy rushes over!"
"The dirt golems on the periphery are ready to withstand the impact!"
"Use the scroll once, and then ban it immediately!"
"Kill!"
Knox Elba takes the lead, and his gun in his hand is like an indestructible drill, trying to pierce the enemy's battle formation!
"Block me!"
Lanton roared and ordered the dirt golem.
Even if the clay figures holding beams, wooden pillars, and stone axes stood in a chaotic position and did not form a tight array, with their immortal bodies, their tall bodies did not retreat at all, they had no shields, and they met the unstoppable war horses with their chests!
Riding a spear is like lightning!
In a flash, the steel spear pierced through the chest of the Earth Golem!
However.
The unstoppable war horse seemed to hit the mountain rock, and the rushing momentum stopped!
Riding a gun out of your hands.
It was not easy for Knox to stabilize his body, not to fall from the horse's back to the ground, and then in the light of the fire, he was stunned to see the mud monster covered in leaves!
"Damn, we've been tricked!"
The cavalry behind collided, and Knox, who could not break through the enemy formation, was squeezed in the middle by his own people, and magic blasted in front of him, and then cold arrows flew all over the sky.
If it weren't for the shield magic, he would have died on the spot!
"Don't come to the people behind, all turn for me!"
"Turn around!"
Seeing this, Chris waved his sword and roared: "Leave them behind!"
"No movement on the left and right wings and in the rear!"
Tywin shouted: "Block me from the front, the group shield has a time limit, they won't last long, the whole army advances!"
"Forward!"
"Kill!"
Successfully attracting the enemy to attack, the warriors did not pretend to panic anymore, and decisively regrouped their formation, holding spears and large shields to follow the earth golem, and their bows and crossbows kept firing.
"Oops!"
The charge was blocked, and Simos immediately stopped the detour and harassment, and turned with the troops: "Follow me to support Lord Knox!"
"The main forces of the enemy should be in front, gouging through them from the side!"
"Rush!"
Seeing the last cavalry on the roam, Langton knew that victory was in sight, and asked Tywin with a smile, "Is it possible to divide the troops?"
"There's no rush. ”
It was correct to mobilize the scattered dirt golems to meet them, but the cavalry had not yet fully rushed over, and it was still possible to detour or divide the troops.
Therefore, Tywin will not allow the battle formation to deform, resulting in an attack from behind.
"Stick them to it!"
"Did you hear that?" Langton immediately shouted, "The soldiers in front, cooperate with the dirt golem for me, and stick to the enemy!"
"Don't let them run!"
...... To be continued......
