Chapter 54: Resoluteness
What's the use of charging again now?
Of course it works.
One more charge would allow the First Legion and Marquis Wade to retreat and avoid annihilation.
As long as Weiru rushed forward with the cavalry, of course the ogre would not dare to pursue the First Legion with a scattered formation,
Although they lacked military knowledge, they also knew that the impact of cavalry was powerful and needed to be taken seriously in formation.
Only when Veru led the cavalry to charge, did the Marquis of Wade have the opportunity to leave the battle in an orderly manner with the remnants of his troops and minimize the losses of this defeat.
"Rhea, are you afraid?"
Rhea is Veru's lieutenant and a good player at the knight rank, although he is weaker than Verru, he is also a first-class existence in the knight rank, and he retreated in the first round of charge.
Hearing Wei Lu's question, Rhea's expression did not change in the slightest, but he said slowly:
"For Ranster."
Rhea didn't have any superfluous words, and in one sentence he had already expressed his determination.
Veru nodded,
Perhaps he was not just asking Rhea when he said this, but also asking himself.
Rushing up again, it may be an exaggeration to have no life at ten deaths, but it is definitely more than nine deaths.
Afraid of death,
Of course, I'm afraid, there are a few normal people who don't want to live.
Can I get it back?
Of course not,
The glory of the cavalry of the Jingbei Army and the glory of the Lancet family did not allow Weilu to escape,
There can be a Lancet who died in battle, and there is no Lancet who escaped.
"Boom!"
The sword was raised high above his eyebrows.
"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang......"
Then there was the sound of weapons unsheathed.
The cavalrymen, who had just rested for a while, followed the main general and raised their weapons again.
"Kill!"
Veru took the lead and rushed to the front of the line as an arrow,
Rhea and the others followed, and the entire cavalry formed a cone formation with Veru as the sharp corner, and once again launched a charge towards the ogre's flank.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves resounded on the battlefield again, although the losses in the first round of charging were not small,
However, the morale of the cavalry of the Jingbei Army did not drop much.
On weekdays, these cavalrymen enjoy the best treatment, and they can be said to be proud generals who have long been fed with money and food.
Among the junior officers, there are a large number of Lanster's clansmen, and they are almost one of the most reliable forces of the Lanster family.
Morale will not be affected too much by attrition,
The cavalry of the Jingbei Army are all a group of elite soldiers who have fought old battles, and naturally understand what this charge means.
Their faces were solemn, like a group of mourning soldiers who were determined to die, launching an attack that would not advance or retreat.
The sound of horses' hooves even encouraged the infantry of the Jingbei Army that was engaged in battle and some of them had already retreated, and some officers of the Second and Third Army Corps took the opportunity to try to gather a group of defeated troops to reorganize the formation.
The counterattack is not daring to think about it, and it is their only goal to try to maintain order and withdraw, rather than being eliminated from behind in the humiliation of being driven like a sheep.
Marquis Wade also took this opportunity to organize a small wave of counterattacks to stabilize the front that had just been a little shaken again.
With such a big movement of the cavalry charge, the ogre side will naturally not ignore it,
It is even said that the cavalry of the Jingbei Army has always been the biggest threat to the ogre, after all, ordinary foot soldiers of the Jingbei Army,
It takes at least ten people to fight against an ogre warrior, and it's a disadvantage,
And a cavalryman who charges at high speed has a chance to inflict fatal damage on the ogre warrior.
The ogres on the periphery began to form a simple formation, and although their formation was loose, their huge racial advantage could erase this shortcoming.
The sharp wooden stakes are facing outward, forming the first death checkpoint of the cavalry of the Jingbei Army.
Under the pressure of the cavalry of the Jingbei Army, the ogres had to temporarily abandon the pursuit of the second and third legions,
If they continue to pursue without defense at this time, I am afraid that Wei Lu will wake up laughing in his dreams and directly expose his back to the charging cavalry, and the ogre will be directly crushed by the cavalry even if he is stronger.
It's a pity that the ogre was not stupid, the pursuit soon stopped, and began to guard against the onslaught of the cavalry,
The defeated soldiers finally escaped for their lives temporarily, and some of the officers had already gathered many of the defeated troops and slowly withdrew from the battlefield in formation.
"Pass my order, the whole army will alternately cover the retreat and withdraw to Fort Hel for rectification!"
Marquis Wade, who had just commanded a counterattack, saw that the ogre's offensive was slowing down, and immediately took the opportunity to give the order to retreat.
"Lord Marquis, what should I do with Young Master Weilu?"
The question was asked by Angus, the Legion's Legion, and after receiving the support of Marquis Wade, the two fought together against an ogre chieftain.
Although he had the upper hand, it was still a little difficult to really kill the opponent, and he just barely repelled the opponent.
As a high-ranking officer, Angus naturally could see what their retreat meant to Weiru and the cavalry he led at this time, and couldn't help but question.
"Angus! Veru, he's my son, he's one of the Lenster! He was also a soldier of the Jingbei Army. ”
Marquis Wade paused slightly as he said this.
"If others die, so will my son."
Marquis Wade's face was still tightened,
"Execute the order, withdraw!"
"Yes!"
Feeling the resoluteness in Marquis Wade's tone, Angus didn't dare to say more.
I just looked up and faintly saw that the corner of Marquis Wade's mouth had been bitten out of a trace of blood.
……
"Bang"
The cavalry of the Jingbei Army slammed into the ogre line again,
Although the number of Jingbei troops in this charge has decreased, it is more resolute and ferocious, and it hits it straight on a horse without the slightest intention of dodging, and there is a ruthlessness to change the name.
Veru rushed into the battle first, and in front of him, an ogre raised the stake in his hand and tried to sweep Veru off his horse.
Seeing this, Wei Lu directly used his fighting energy, first cut off the attacking wooden stake with a sword, and then took advantage of the speed of his horse to slash the head of the ogre warrior in front of him, and continued to charge forward without the slightest pause.
The follow-up cavalry also rushed into the ogre array one after another, and some cavalry spears stabbed the ogre through,
There are also ogre warriors who directly catch the cavalry and lift the cavalry of the Jingbei Army directly off their horses, and for a time the people on the battlefield neighed, and blood splashed red and white.
"Rush! Rush forward! Rush straight out and don't stop! ”
Weru understood his mission and that of his cavalry,
Create pressure on the ogres and create conditions for the retreat of the Jingbei Army.
Although he has the consciousness of dying in battle, who wants to die if he can live?
If you can directly penetrate the ogre's front, then those who rush out still have a chance to live.
As Veru led the team from the flank into the ogre array,
The First Legion and the reserve led by Marquis Wade began to retreat in an orderly and alternating manner, gradually breaking away from the battle and distancing themselves from the ogre.
"It's a pity"
At this time, the two-headed ogre priest looked at the situation a little weakly and reluctantly,
Obviously, he was very unwilling to let Marquis Wade lead his army back, but it was already difficult to do anything more.
Then the two-headed ogre priest muttered something to one of the ogres beside him.
Several ogres roared loudly at the same time, and several ogre chieftains, who had been preparing to pursue, turned back at the same time and attacked in the direction of the cavalry.
