Chapter 584: Slaughter of the Cavalry

After 30,000 cavalry and paladins broke through the phalanx of Wicks' infantry, they came straight to the barracks, and all along the way were panicked, scurrying enemy soldiers, which did not cause any obstacle to the advance of the cavalry, and soon, these high-speed cavalry skillfully interspersed and divided the barracks.

But the cavalrymen soon discovered that there were not many people in the barracks at all, only sporadic soldiers fleeing, and soon disappeared into the houses. Rows of horseback stakes lined up in the barracks, blocking the speed of the cavalry's advance, but these horseback piles were not integrated with each other, and the cavalry could completely bypass these horseback piles and continue to move forward, without having to let the horses jump over or the knights pick them off with their guns. The cavalry was interspersed between these horse-repellent stakes, barracks tents, and houses.

"Woo woo woo ......" The rapid sound of the horn began to sound in the barracks......

Quickly many tents in the barracks were lifted with ropes, and one after another crossbow chariots fell on the roofs of civilian houses, or on the platforms erected in the tents, countless crossbowmen, elven archers and phantom archers were also lined up next to the repeater chariots, "brushing and ......brushing" countless repeater chariots, shooting powerful arrows at the running cavalry, *, accompanied by the wailing of the war horses and the screams of the enemy knights, the rows of cavalry suddenly flew with flesh and blood, like raging waves, suddenly slapping on the huge reef, torn to pieces by the reef.

Enraged, the cavalry quickly organized a counterattack and rushed towards the enemy's repeater chariot platforms, but under these platforms, they were completely blocked by the horse rejection stakes, which were arranged in such a position that it was difficult for the horses to jump over. The cavalry could only go under the platform and use their spears to pick up or overturn the horse rejection stakes, but in this way, they lost the speed advantage of the cavalry, and this distance happened to be the best range for the crossbowmen next to the crossbow chariots, and the arrows fired by the crossbows were like raindrops, shooting the enemy's cavalry and horses who tried to break through the horse rejection stakes into porcupines.

The cavalry that attacked the platform of the repeater chariot had no choice but to continue to rush forward, but no matter where the assault went, a tent or canvas would immediately be lifted, revealing a small phalanx composed of several repeater chariots and a dozen crossbowmen lying in ambush inside.

Only then did the enemy's cavalry gradually wake up, where was they dividing the other party's barracks? It is clear that the other party is using the horse rejection pile and the building of the house to guide himself into their crossbow chariot array, where is this still a military camp? It is clearly a huge trap, and the entire military camp is a trap and a battlefield.

The horse-rejecting stakes in those barracks seemed to be messy, but they guided and divided the 30,000 cavalry step by step, cutting the army into small strands, small pieces, and then slowly eating them.

Then, pits, traps, pits, and all sorts of fortifications were ubiquitous in the barracks, each of which made the enemy's cavalrymen turn on their backs and then became a live target for the archers on the high platform.

The cavalry and paladins have now been completely cut into small pieces by the entire nine-turn chain formation, and they can no longer form a whole, unable to gather forces to concentrate on attacking, and have become the objects of slaughter. The paladins also rushed left and right, and the crossbowmen could not damage them, but the arrows and *, powerful impact of the crossbow chariot, could shoot through their armor, especially the huge impact of the *, if the paladin was shot, he would immediately turn on his back.

No matter how strong the impact of the cavalry is, but it cannot reach the enemy, everything is in vain. Everywhere there were knights who had lost their horses and horses that had lost their knights running around in pools of blood, looking for a place to hide......

......The enemy commander, who had struggled to no avail of several struggles, was finally forced to give the order to retreat, and a rapid gong sounded in the army, and the cavalrymen who had received Mingjin's retreat turned their horses' heads one after another, braved the rain of arrows, and returned again from the direction from which they came.

But it's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out. The horse-rejecting piles on the ground are still those, still guiding the direction of the cavalry, but they soon found that no matter how they break through, it will be difficult to get out of this strange chain of horse-rejecting piles.

In order to avoid the left and right rush of the horse rejection stake, they will only let themselves run within the range of the crossbow chariot, and many cavalrymen who risk jumping over the horse rejection stake are either cut in the stomach by the horse rejection stake, or planted on another row of horse rejection stakes, and can never get up again.

Seeing that the cavalry fell one by one, the enemy commander had to give another order to let his cavalry stop and move the horse rejection stake. But in this way, the speed of the entire cavalry was gone, and the cavalry, crowded together, slowly picked up the horse rejection stakes and slowly moved towards the rear.

Although it was slow, but after all, it was not within the range of the repeater chariots, and more and more cavalry began to gather again and crowd together......

The piercing whistling sound of "Whist......huhuhu" pierced the sky, and everyone looked up, and was suddenly frightened, only to see the sky full of stones falling from the sky, and all the cavalry crowded together immediately dispersed in a hurry, regardless of whether the horse stakes were still out of the range of the crossbow chariot......

"Puff, puff, pop, pop......" The stone bullets of the catapult poured down from all over the sea, and some directly hit the cavalry, most of them were smashed into the air, but the stones that landed did not stop their strength, but continued to roll and jump violently on the ground, smashing on the horses, legs, either dead or injured. There are also stones that directly smashed the horse-rejecting stakes, and the panicked cavalry fled in all directions, and even used meat shields to break up the horse-rejecting stakes array, opening a bloody road.

The desperate cavalry relied on this method to slowly retreat, and more people were still struggling in the crossbow chariot array, like headless flies, smashing and killing everywhere......

Crossbow chariots, catapults, and crossbowmen were everywhere, using horse-repellent piles, houses, barracks buildings, and erected platforms and arrow towers, to pour out their anger on the cavalry that had been dispersed, and the entire barracks within a radius of nearly 10 kilometers were turned into slaughterhouses, with thick smoke billowing and dusty everywhere, fighting everywhere, corpses of men and horses everywhere, many white tents, meadows, and crops dyed red......

The retreating cavalry gathered more and more, and gradually reached the edge of the camp northward, relying on the retreat path paved with corpses, and it seemed that the battlefield had been cursed by the devil was about to be highlighted.

A neatly lined infantry phalanx appeared in front of the scattered cavalry in black, and sharp spears stretched diagonally from behind the two-meter-high heavy shields, exactly the same as the infantry phalanx formation before entering the battlefield half an hour ago, trying to stop the retreat of the cavalry army.

The fleeing cavalry could no longer bother to organize a queue formation, and immediately rushed towards the infantry phalanx desperately!

The dozens of cavalry who rushed to the front first found that there was a row of trenches in front of the infantry phalanx, and many people had no time to restrain their horses, so they had to let the horses leap over, crossing the five-meter-wide trench, "......fluttering and fluttering" and "slamming" The war horses that crossed the trench hit the horse-rejecting pile on the opposite side of the trench with their bodies, and the sharp head of the horse-rejecting pile was deeply inserted into the chest and stomach of the war horse, and the intestines flowed out, and then even the people and horses fell into the trench. A few others relied on inertia to fall in front of the infantry phalanx, and immediately their men and horses were pierced into bloody holes by the spears in the infantry phalanx.

The cavalrymen who found the trench in front of the infantry phalanx and the horse-rejecting stakes grabbed the reins in panic and tried to stop the horses from moving forward, but the cavalry in the rear rushed up one after another, squeezing the cavalry that had stopped in front of them into the trench.

There were more and more cavalry, and they became more and more crowded, and the trenches were gradually filled with the corpses of war horses and cavalry, and some of the horse-repelling stakes were also rushed by the cavalry who jumped over without their lives......

Wicks shouted at the banner soldiers, "Order the rear to attack!" ”

The infantry phalanx in front of them leaned down one after another, placing their heavy shields diagonally, and immediately showed the crossbow chariots and catapults that had been assembled and neatly arranged behind them.

"Brush brush brush ......" no longer need to give orders, arrows, *, stones, poured towards the already crowded cavalry position, there is no need to aim at all, everywhere is cavalry, everywhere are people and horses.

* Powerful killing, which can even penetrate the body of the war horse and continue to move forward to kill the enemy behind it; The repeater chariot rains arrows that can pierce no matter how heavy the armor is; Stone bullets that fall from the sky can even kill and injure in pieces...... In an instant, the crowded cavalry phalanx fell one by one in a row of wailing, scolding, and crying, and finally could not hold on, and had to retreat in the direction of the camp, away from the range of the crossbow chariots and catapults, leaving only the corpses of thousands of horses and knights in front of the infantry phalanx, and the two trenches almost became rivers of blood.

The 30,000 cavalry and paladins who entered the camp of the Fifth Legion have completely become the fish and meat on the board of the Fifth Legion, no matter how they break through, it will not help if they break through from that direction, the tactics of the Fifth Legion are non-contact strikes, and the crossbow chariots and catapults, arrow towers and arrow towers are everywhere in the camp, so that every cavalry will feel that countless * and arrows are aimed at themselves in every area they pass.

Gradually, all the cavalry with less than 10,000 remaining, after entering the camp, disappeared, and all of them were driven to the position of three or four hundred meters in front of the phalanx of the Wicks infantry, which was the cleanest place in the entire battalion of the Fifth Legion, this area was outside the range of all the crossbow chariots and catapults, and moving in any direction in all directions could kill them, and now each of them was almost terrified.

The Fifth Army stopped its attack, and the enemy's cavalry stopped breaking through in vain, and the whole battlefield suddenly fell silent.

The planks in front of the Wicks infantry phalanx were once again laid on the trench, and the soldiers in the front row carried heavy horse-repellent stakes and slowly pushed the entire phalanx forward, very slowly, because it took time for the heavy repeater chariots behind the infantry phalanx to advance, and Wicks wanted to let the repeater chariots from the rear of the infantry once again bring the enemy into range to avenge the defeat of the heroic mage......
