Chapter 130: The Newborn Calf

Havelan's Chinese army finally moved, and passively withdrew to both sides.

At this time, the large number of people has become a burden to Havelan, and as soon as the main general moves, all the formations will be chaotic. Surrounded by the guards, Havelan moved slowly southward, because there were many soldiers around, and the speed of movement was not fast.

Thomas seemed to have a tendon in his brain, and he bit Havelan tightly, he and the war horse were covered in blood, and the front of the war horse was thick leather armor, with more than a dozen arrows inserted. Although leather armor can effectively reduce the damage of bows and crossbows and general swords, it is not completely immune to the iron armor of heavy cavalry, so his own war horse is also not lightly injured, and Thomas's own left and right legs are also inserted with two arrows, and Thomas uses his sword to cut off the shaft of the arrow.

Thomas didn't know how many cavalry were left behind him, except for the dozens around him, he didn't care about the chaotic scene behind him at all, he had to fight hard, otherwise, he and his war horse would never be able to charge again.

Thomas continued to shout in a hoarse voice while fighting: "Capture Avilan alive, kill—"

The movement of the Chinese army greatly affected the morale of the enemy, and Thomas's shouting not only frightened the enemy, but also reminded his comrades that their commander was still fighting like them!

Thomas's cavalry vanguard pursued Havelan, while Avilan's infantry and heavy cavalry surrounded Thomas's vanguard cavalry. The funny thing is that although Havelan is numerous, he is chased and beaten by the desperate Thomas.

The light cavalry on both flanks and the heavy cavalry in the center finally broke through the infantry phalanx, penetrated, and began to charge towards the center of Havelan, engaged the opposing heavy cavalry pursuing Thomas.

Pantony led nearly 20,000 infantry and crossbowmen, along the bloody road opened up by the cavalry, killing and breaking through. Pantony, a strong battle dwarf with a large axe and a round shield, rushed to the front of the line, slashing desperately, and flesh flew all around him.

Higg's last 3,000 cavalry also began to charge, cruising at the back of the breakout procession, quickly breaking through the bloody road.

From Thomas's vanguard to Higg's last 3,000 cavalry, seven or eight thousand meters long, a long bloody road was formed. Higg's 40,000 men are building this bloody road, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Havelan are desperately blocking this bloody road.

In the dark eastern plain of Dongning Pass, the men and horses on both sides have long been unable to distinguish between friend and foe, and the cavalry and infantry are mixed together and trample on each other; The crossbowmen also had no position of their own, and shot indiscriminately at the crowd, regardless of you and me.

Higg's soldiers had no way back, but Havelan's soldiers had room for it, so the result of the hand-to-hand battle was that the side without a back road was like a beast of prey, and anyone who stood in their way would be torn to pieces.

Havelan's troubles were not over, and the wavering of the Chinese commander-in-chief made his soldiers not understand what was happening, so the organized retreat soon became even more chaotic.

Most of Thomas's vanguard and their horses were wounded, but all of them were bloodier, all of them were more frenzied, and again and again they overwhelmed the improvised shield formations and the swarming infantry that surrounded them.

None of them expected that the Chinese army of tens of thousands of people would be forced into this way by thousands of cavalry. Havelan wanted to stop this chaos and reorganize the formation of the Chinese army, but his tens of thousands of Chinese troops had been divided into several pieces, and all of them fought separately or desperately retreated, and in the face of the opponent's strong momentum and willpower, the morale of the Chinese army gradually collapsed and lost the courage to resist.

"Kill—capture Havelan alive!" Thomas's war horse once again crossed the hastily improvised shield array behind Avilan, several spears stabbed towards its war horse, Thomas suddenly kicked his legs hard, with the help of the rising strength and speed of the war horse, his body was thrown high, and the sword in his right hand was pointed directly at the back of Avilan.

All the guards were taken aback and tried desperately to step forward to block it, but Thomas was too fast, like a flying general falling from the sky, and the tip of his sword pierced Avilan's back, and he himself landed on Avilan's horse. The sword did not completely pierce Avilan's thick armor, Thomas hugged Avilan with both hands, and then followed his own momentum, and together with Avilan, both fell off their horses, and all the guards around Avilan were stunned, and then angrily rushed forward to try to regain his boss.

Dozens of cavalry followed Thomas and rushed into the already disorganized core of the Chinese army, scattering the guards surrounding Thomas and Havelan.

Havelan didn't have time to react at all, and was unaware of Thomas's sneak attack from behind like a divine soldier, and was stabbed in the back, although it was not deep, but the sudden sharp pain made him lose his cool instantly. Then he was hugged by Thomas and fell heavily under the horse, trying to break free, but he felt a cold in his neck, and an arrow with blood was pressed against his neck.

Although Thomas restrained Avilan, except for the dozen or so guards next to him who could see clearly, the other guards in the darkness could not all see clearly in the chaos, and they still fought back frantically in the direction of Thomas and Havelan.

The entire arm of Thomas's left hand wrapped around Avi's neck, and he clung to the arrow with only a small shaft against Avilan's right neck, and with his right hand holding a matching sword, he limped to Avilan's banner while the guards next to him were trapping, and shouted at Avilan: "I want to die or live!" ”

The angry Havelan smiled coldly: "Hahaha, you don't dare to kill me, kill me, you don't want to get out of here alive!" ”

Enraged, Thomas swung his sword to cut off the banner of the Chinese army, and shouted to the guards around him: "Get out of the way now, or I'll kill him!" ”

Several horsemen rushed in, protected Thomas, and immediately turned over and dismounted, and fell to his knees against Havelan, and immediately bound Avilan.

Havelan's guards did not retreat, and Thomas had more and more cavalry around him, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

But that's not what Thomas wants, and he has to use the opportunity to get Havelan to surrender or get his guards out of the way in order to get more people to break through.

"Let your heralds give the order and retreat at once!" Thomas shouted angrily at Havelan, "I'm only counting three!" ”

Avelan shouted, "Haha, who dares to pass the order? Let's see if he dares to kill me! ”

With a thud, Thomas slashed a sword in Havelan's right leg and shouted, "One! ”

Havelan screamed in pain, and all the soldiers rioted, but no one dared to step forward, this kind of immortal fight, their little soldiers could only watch!

Thomas flipped onto Havelan's horse, and then had the cavalry tie Havelan to the horse in front of him.

Thomas laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, I am a vanguard general, and it is worth it for a general of an army of more than 100,000 people!" …… Two! ”

More and more cavalry poured in, and several horsemen who had just dismounted also turned back on their horses.

"Since you don't cooperate, I want to see who dares to stop my progress!" Thomas exclaimed, took off Avilan's helmet, pointed his sword to it, raised it high, and began to ride his horse forward, shouting at the same time, "Havelan has been captured alive, Havelan has been captured alive—"

More than a dozen cavalrymen who were following Thomas also shouted at the same time: "Havelan has been captured alive, Havelan has been captured alive-"

More and more people in the Chinese camp noticed the movement on Avilan's side, and more and more people found that the flag was gone, and their main general was gone, and at the same time, the enemy was still shouting the sound of Havelan being captured alive.

The 4,000 heavy cavalry and the light cavalry on both flanks, which had broken through from the infantry phalanx, began to charge towards the scattered enemy center.

Thomas no longer slashed, but took Havelan, held his helmet high, and ran all the way, shouting all the way, surrounded by a dozen cavalrymen and a dozen torches: "Avilan has been captured alive, Avilan has been captured alive-"

No one dares to stand in the way, no one dares to shoot arrows at themselves! Havelan's guards followed closely behind the cavalry squad, while the rest of the Chinese army began to retreat in a panic.

More and more people shouted "Avilan has been captured alive, Avilan has been captured alive-", and panic spread like a plague through Avilan's army.

Even if Havelan gave the herald the order to retreat now, it would only be a rout, and all the armies were now slowly out of control, and it was impossible to organize them anymore.

Pantony's 20,000 infantry and crossbowmen, although also suffering heavy losses, gradually penetrated the infantry phalanx and continued to advance eastward.

Higg's 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry were still circling the enemy's rear, and the panic of the Havelan army was not conveyed here, and it was still a hard battle where the enemy had the upper hand.

Havelan, who was tied to his horse horizontally, watched in despair as his Chinese army began to break up and spread to the infantry phalanx, but he was helpless. When he gave up and wanted to order a retreat, Thomas didn't give him a chance, and this young knight, who was not yet seventeen years old, was never so patient.

Havelan's army had no intention of fighting and began to retreat south, and the purpose of Higg's army was to break through, and there was no need to entangle with Havelan's superior forces.

The battlefield gradually subsided from east to west, only Higg's thousands of rear troops were still fighting, there were more and more cavalry around Thomas, and the few remaining cavalry on both flanks also began to move closer to Thomas, and the direction of Thomas's movement became to rush back from east to west, rushing towards the rear army that was still fighting.

The sky gradually turned from dark to white, allowing everyone to see clearly that the entire plain in the east of Dongping Pass was full of corpses and wounded soldiers.

The last few Alawi troops besieging the thousands of men in Higg were finally scattered by Thomas's cavalry, who had returned after them, and scattered southward.

An army of more than 100,000 people, even if it can't besiege Hig's 40,000 army, will not be broken up if it is broken through by the other side. Alavi, who had been jolted on horseback and nearly fainted, closed his eyes in despair, not daring to look at the plain, unwilling to accept the fact. The original victory turned into his own rout, with countless casualties, and all the supplies and baggage fell into the hands of Higg.

Higg really didn't think that the result of the desperate breakthrough turned into a great victory on the plains, with 40,000 people killed and 150,000 people retreated, and the local commander Havelan was captured alive, and the results were brilliant.
