Chapter 498: Duel Between the Elites (2-in-1)

To deal with this elite force of the coalition army, Pexins has a way - if the coalition forces dare to play elite tactics, she dares to accompany them to the end!

If there is one thing that is not lacking in Pehins's army, it is the elite team. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

She issued an order directly to Major General Sacko, and the Wolf Cavalry, the Nightblade Panther Cavalry, the Drow Elves' Cold-Blooded Cavalry, the Minotaurs, and the Medusa, all sorts of elite troops, formed a force of 3,000 men. Among them, there are also some spellcasters such as druids and mages, as well as thirty griffon cavalry, five scorpion cavalry, and thirty horned eagle beast cavalry.

Mobility, Detection, Spell Support, Ranged Strike, Attack...... This one is not lacking.

Soon, under the dual detection of spells and aerial reconnaissance, Sacco found the traces of the enemy's elite vanguard.

Don't care about anything, just pounce on it!

The first to attack were the rangers and Medusa. Bows and arrows, petrification rays, and some attacks and field-control spells from mages and druids directly cover the enemy's front line.

These soldiers from Pudri and Florence, no matter how elite they are, where have they ever seen such a formation? They had never seen such accurate bow and arrow shooting, and they had never been hit by such a dense range of spells and spell-like abilities. Even, in their training, there is no training subject to deal with this situation.

As a result, their formation became naturally disordered.

But these soldiers, after all, are the most elite fighters of the two countries. The so-called disorder is also relatively speaking, in fact, for an ordinary army, such a degree of chaos is nothing at all.

However, in the duel between the elites, this little bit of chaos can sometimes make the difference between winning an entire battle.

It was the cold-blooded cavalry who sat on top of the velociraptor who launched a deadly assault on the elite vanguard of the coalition army.

Wielding halberds, they broke through the enemy's defenses at the very first moment of the raid. Those silver-white guards who could be called the most elite soldiers in the Pudri Kingdom were completely powerless to resist under the impact of velociraptors and drow cavalry, and they were directly torn open a huge gap.

The defense of the heavy infantry was cut open, which was a very bad thing. The knights of the Duchy's Guard, who were behind the heavy infantry, had not yet had time to charge. These elite hoplites had to face off against the velociraptors who carried the might of breaking through the heavy infantry defense line before they could raise their speed.

This kind of duel is too much of a loss.

The most important weapon of the Heavy Knight, is speed; The most powerful tactic is to charge.

Forming a tight formation and charging in a wall or cone formation are excellent tactics. The former, the formations of light infantry that can destroy everything, and the heavy cavalry, which rushes at high speed like a wall, will use their spears and horses to destroy all the enemies who dare to stand in their way. As for the latter, the charge of the cone-shaped array is a sharp weapon that directly penetrates and breaks through the heavy infantry defense line. Even when dealing with the enemy's cavalry, it is most advantageous to charge.

However, now this advantage is in the hands of the cold-blooded cavalry.

Of course, the number of cold-blooded cavalry seemed to be about half less than those knights of the Duke's Guard on the other side. But it doesn't matter, the hoplites who didn't rush up lost at least seventy percent of their combat effectiveness. Now, they can only rely on equipment and their relatively good martial arts to fight against the cold-blooded cavalry who collide headlong.

However, they are well-armed and skilled in martial arts, so are these drows on the other side worse?

No! It's not bad at all! Even, if you really want to talk about combat skills, these cold-blooded cavalry belonging to the fourth-level troops of the dungeon base are much more powerful than those knights on the opposite side!

What's more, the biggest gap between the two sides is in the mounts.

The Grand Duke of Florence is still very willing to invest in the elite troops in his hands. He spent a lot of money on these knights. In addition to armor, equipment, and weapons, the war horses under their crotches are all excellent breeds. Tall horses, both at shoulder height and in terms of strength, were very suitable for heavy cavalry.

However, no matter how good the bloodline war horse is, when it meets the Earth Walking Dragon, the gap is still huge.

Although the size of the earthly dragon with the blood of a giant dragon is not as large as that of a real dragon, and it does not have a pair of wings that can fly, its two powerful hind limbs make it no slower than that of a war horse when they charge. Moreover, the claws on the forelimbs of the Earth Walking Dragon were sharper than the long swords made by Seiko. Not to mention, the big mouth of a velociraptor like an earth-walking dragon, after opening it, the terrifying bite force can even bite off the head of a war horse covered in iron armor in one bite!

This kind of comprehensive disparity, embodied on the battlefield, is a qualitative difference!

The heavy cavalry of the Duke's Guard, who were not able to hold out for long under the charge of the cold-blooded cavalry, quickly dispersed. They didn't even hold out as long as the silver-white guard hoplites in front of them.

After the battlefield, Sacco, who saw this scene, cracked his mouth and smiled: the major problem of this battle has been solved.

The powerful coalition is this Knights of the Duke's Guard. From the previous few days and hours, several units defeated by this vanguard army sent back the news, all mentioned one point: the enemy's heavy cavalry charge was very powerful, and there was a scattered ambush force, which had a large group of white wolf guards, but under the wedge charge of these heavy cavalry, it was scattered in one round.

When Sacco was ordered to destroy the vanguard of the enemy army, he also worried about the enemy's heavy cavalry charge. Therefore, when the cold-blooded cavalry was sent to attack the silver-white guard heavy infantry regiment on the opposite side, the position had already been found, and after breaking the heavy infantry defense line, it was able to directly threaten the opponent's duke's guard.

It seems that this tactic has succeeded.

The scattered heavy cavalry was no threat. Heavy cavalry charges are never carried out in a skirmish line. Without a heavy cavalry charge in formation, there is no way to maximize its impact power, and there is no way to complete the role of breaking up the defensive line.

It's very gratifying that the cold-blooded cavalry can do this. However, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to do more now.

After cutting through the defense line of the Silver and White Guards and crushing the Duke's Guard on the opposite side, the impact of the cold-blooded cavalry was also exhausted. It was already difficult for them to continue to break through the enemy's formation, gouge through the entire army, and then turn around and charge. At this moment, they have been trapped in the ground formation, and they can only rely on the superior combat power of the velociraptor in the melee, as well as a halberd in their hands that is not only conducive to charging, but also can exert quite good combat effectiveness in the stalemate battle, to persist in the battle.

But it doesn't matter, it's already a surprise that the cold-blooded cavalry can do this.

Sacco has other troops at his disposal to do the rest.

After following the cold-blooded cavalry, the hand-to-hand combat troops that entered the battlefield were the Minotaur Brigade.

Three hundred heavily armed minotaurs, carrying heavy armor and battle axes, roared into the enemy's ranks. They were generally more than a third taller than the human soldiers on the other side, and the strength advantage due to racial differences was brought into full play through heavy armor and heavy weapons.

The tomahawks wielded by the minotaurs were not something that the small bodies of the silver and white guards could stop. With an axe, if a human soldier is directly hit, it is even possible that a person with heavy armor will be cut in two by a sharp axe!

However, the long swords held in the hands of the silver and white guards were a little inadequate compared to the size of the minotaurs. Their long sword, for the Minotaur, may be a longer dagger, and if they don't find the right position, they can't cut or pierce the Minotaur's armor.

It was almost a one-sided massacre!

Originally, after being bombarded with powerful long-range strikes and powerful spells, the formation of the Silver and White Guards was already slightly chaotic. After being chiseled through by the cold-blooded cavalry, a huge gap was created. The gap was then rushed in by the Minotaur...... The elite silver-white guards have turned into a group of lambs that can only be slaughtered passively!

One by one, hoplites in bright silver armor were cut down by the great axes. In a matter of moments, there were more than two hundred silver-white guards who died under the giant axe, the armor-piercing arrows, and the spells and quasi-spell-like abilities. And the loss of the minotaur may not exceed thirty.

Such a proportion is already a little exaggerated.

The commander of the coalition forces, who was in the rear, could not sit still. The first two ace troops have already fallen into defeat, if he can't do something to change the tide of the battle, this elite vanguard force will really be buried in his hands!

He could even imagine that if he left this elite army here, after he returned, Count Sade would definitely be beheaded on charges of dereliction of duty, defeat of the army, etc., without even going to a military court.

So, in the absence of any choice, he could only put the last important force in his hands into the battlefield - the elite troops of the Pudri Kingdom, the Silver and White Knights!

Four hundred silver-white knights, the strength is still better than that of the Duke's Guard Knights! These knights wearing white armor and riding white horses were also lucky not to be caught up in the chaos caused by the cold-blooded cavalry before, and were able to maintain a relatively tight formation.

The heavily armored knights, who were able to maintain a tight formation, launched a charge!

This white wall, the sense of oppression brought by the head-on impact, is still very strong.

But Thad was not surprised!

This is exactly the scene he has been waiting for!

The enemy has already taken out the last reserves, so there is no need to hide it!

At the sound of the order, the mage beside him launched a bright spell into the sky. A white ball emitting a strong light jumped into the sky, which was also the signal for the previously agreed general attack!

The elite rangers and medusa directly turned the fire and threw the long-range strike on the head of the silver-white knights.

Armor-piercing arrows roared, heavy cone-shaped armor-piercing arrows with magical power, as long as they hit, they could pierce through the heavy plate armor and deal enough damage. The heavy cavalry who were shot through fell directly from their horses, fell to the ground, and were trampled into flesh by the horses of their comrades who rushed up after them.

At the same time, the Medusas saved up a wave of petrification rays, and they also shot at these charging knights. At least forty or more silver-white knights who rushed to the front were directly hit. Among them, there were only a few people who could pass through Medusa's petrification ray, and the other thirty were all turned into stone statues on the spot, so abruptly that they stopped in place, and then they were directly hit by other heavy cavalry rushing up from behind. As a result, the heavy cavalry that crashed into the stone statue was directly knocked to pieces under the situation of high-speed charge, and some even fell to the ground on the spot with men and horses, losing their ability to fight.

As for the stone statues that were hit, they were all smashed on the spot without exception. And this also represents the arrival of death.

The concentrated armor-piercing arrows of the rangers, as well as the petrified rays of the Medusa, to a large extent, caused great trouble to the charging Silver and White Knights. The originally tight wall-type charging formation suddenly became loose. It's like a wall with countless holes, it still looks so tall and mighty, but in reality, it's not that strong anymore.

Then, the offensive in the sky was launched.

The griffin cavalry threw the Storm Hammer straight down! A war hammer with a thunderbolt roared and was able to take a knight's life directly with a very safe start; At the same time, along with the Storm Hammer, there are arrows from the Horned Hippogriff Cavalry.

Of course, these air strikes are just appetizers.

After completing a round of long-range strikes, the air cavalry launched a dive!

The mighty five scorpions rushed to the front, followed by thirty strong griffins.

The scorpion used its sharp claws, its sharp barb, and its violently poisonous tail to take nearly ten lives in a single dive. The griffons that followed, not to be outdone. Strong claws, after a dive, can directly pounce on a charging knight.

And when the Sky Beast swooped, the other two teams also arrived!

The whirling moonblade heralded the arrival of the Nightblade Panther Cavalry. These cavalrymen wielding the Whirling Moon Blade and riding the Nightblade Leopard entered the battlefield, directly using powerful lethality and good impact power to completely disperse the silver-white knights that had become full of holes!

Then, it's time for the wolf cavalry to perform!
