Chapter 127: Collapse (I)

Although he successfully repelled the attack of the enemy's cavalry, Chen Jian couldn't help frowning as he watched the blackened enemy infantry group on the magic screen change from the original slow advance to full speed advance in three directions.

The disparity in the strength of the two sides is too great.

Even the crushing defeat of the enemy's cavalry did not have much impact on the balance of strength between the two sides, and the powerful forces that were several times more powerful than their own side allowed the enemy to still firmly hold the upper hand and control the initiative on the battlefield.

If he can't find a way to eliminate or reduce this gap in strength, Chen Jian understands that he will not escape defeat today.

Just thinking about countermeasures, Bremmer, the champion knight who had already returned to his original position with the Imperial cavalry, came to Chen Jian's face.

"My lord, the enemy's cavalry has broken up and has not been able to reorganize for the time being, so let's take this opportunity to retreat, shall we? It's not a way to fight like this, there are too many enemies. ”

At this time, Bremer's attitude towards Chen Jian has changed dramatically, and he is no longer arrogant in front of Chen Jian in the past.

Due to the amazing performance of Jian Chen and the Hammondale soldiers in the battle, now both Bremer and the rest of the regular soldiers of the Imperial Army have put away their previous contempt for them.

The two low walls of carriages, which had previously been secretly ridiculed by Bremer, also fully demonstrated their key role in this local battle.

Because of these two obstacles, the robber cavalry attacking from the middle did not have the idea of rushing to both sides of the phalanx to attack, these two low walls not only effectively protected the two wings of the Hammondale Defense Phalanx, but also under Chen Jian's ingenious psychological hints, let the robber cavalry attack the frontal defense super strong spear phalanx in the way Chen Jian hoped to attack according to Chen Jian's vision.

This discovery surprised Bremer secretly.

"Retreat?" The Champion Knight's proposal made Jian Chen a little overwhelmed.

Before the battle started, Chen Jian had the idea of retreating, but at that time he couldn't escape, and he couldn't escape, the enemy's cavalry was too much, and it would be miserable if he was chased by the enemy in the process of escaping.

But after the battle began, this thought was completely forgotten by Chen Jian, and all he could think about now was how to defeat the enemy.

In response to Jian Chen's questioning, Bremer nodded affirmatively and explained: "My lord, in the face of a strong enemy, we did not flee from the battle, but bravely faced the battle, and caused heavy losses to the enemy. In such a situation, we have to retreat strategically because the enemy is too strong, and I believe that neither Count Mlak nor Her Majesty the Empress will be to blame! Now there is not much cavalry left of the enemy, I personally led the cavalry to break the rear, even if they catch up, I am not afraid, not to mention that our griffin formation is still very complete, with them harassing the enemy from the air, the enemy's speed is definitely not fast, in that case, you can evacuate safely with others! ”

Bremer's words were agreed by the female magician next to him: "Yes, this is a solution, if the enemy dares to chase us, I will give them a few more powerful spells, which should also have a little effect!" ”

However, Chen Jian did not express any opinion on the words of the two, his attention at this time was once again attracted by the movements of the enemy on the magic screen, the more he looked at him, the brighter his eyes became, and a trace of joy slowly appeared on his face.

This strange behavior made Bremer and the sorceress look at each other.

"What's going on, my lord?" Bremer asked, confused.

Chen Jian suddenly laughed and replied loudly: "Knight Bremer, if I tell you that I am ten percent sure that I can win this battle, do you believe it or not?" ”

This arrogant sentence made Bremer completely stupid.

Philip, the leader of the dragon knights, with his old brother from the former dragoon bandit group, is fleeing from the right side of the battlefield in a panic.

Behind him, more and more robbers began to leave the battlefield.

Although Philip doesn't have much ability, he is also a little clever, and the previous performance of the caveman Shacht made him sensitive to the sense that something was not right.

As a result, not long after leading the reserves and the mage squad to rush, he suddenly woke up - now that the Bandit Alliance is being pursued by the dwarven army, how can he waste time here to fight desperately with this small but not weak Imperial army?

After figuring out this relationship, Philip's face turned white with fright.

At this time, the harpies above his head were flying towards the left side of the battlefield, which confirmed Philip's terrible suspicions.

After the unexpected failure of the tactics of breaking through the enemy with cavalry, Shaket already knew that if the battle continued, the bandits would be defeated whether they won or lost, and they would be crushed to dust by the dwarven army that arrived after being delayed by the Imperial army! Shaket gathered all the soldiers he had brought with him, not at all trying to get behind the enemy, but to take advantage of the chaos to escape!

Having come to this terrible conclusion, Philip gathered all the old brothers he could find around him with unprecedented decisiveness, and then quietly broke away from the group with them and the team of magicians who were willing to follow him, and in order to be able to break free from Shaket's control, he chose the right side of the battlefield.

However, as the leader of the famous Dragoon Bandit Regiment and the leader of the Bandit Alliance, Philip's every move has attracted the attention of many bandits, although he has kept a low profile as much as possible, but the fact that the alliance leader fled from the battlefield with his cronies still caused many witnesses to be in an uproar.

Then the robbers noticed the departure of the harpy in the sky, and noticed that another army of bandits was fleeing from the left side of the battlefield.

Although not everyone can remember that the dwarven army is still chasing after them, the strength of the enemy on the opposite side and the escape of the alliance leader still make the bandits army confused, and then some guys who have their brains are more quick also remember the dwarven army.

The dwarven army has been killed! Philip, the leader of the Alliance, has fled on his own!

Rumors spread rapidly among the bandit soldiers, eventually forming a terrible panic, and the bandit reserves, which had not yet officially entered the battlefield, collapsed in a very short time.

Although the dwarven army has not yet appeared, these robbers all believe that the dwarves must have arrived or are about to arrive, so the alliance leader will leave everyone and flee by himselfRead the full text!

The collapsed bandit soldiers scattered in panic, and the huge movement caused a commotion in the bandit infantry cluster that was advancing at full speed ahead.

These soldiers were already very uneasy because of the strength of their opponents, and the elusive fire magic made them tremble, and no one dared to guarantee that the next moment the terrible wall of fire would emerge from under their feet and burn themselves into a humanoid candle.

Had it not been for the orders and the strength that Philip had always shown, the robber soldiers might not have had the courage to move forward at this moment.

At the time of the commotion, the robber archers were just within effective range of their bows.

The archers, numbering nearly a thousand people, under the command of several small leaders, organized their formations and began to suppress the enemy's long-range fire.

"Magic Protection!" Under Jian Chen's categorical command, the female magician placed an air-based magic "Atmospheric Aegis" on top of her new formation.

At this time, the Hammondale soldiers had returned to their original positions under the command of the half-elves, and Chen Jian also transferred all the reserves behind him, and the soldiers of the defense team holding spears rearranged a formation according to Chen Jian's request.

Each hundred people formed a small spear phalanx, and three spear phalanxes of three hundred people, defending the front and the left and right flanks respectively, while Chen Jian himself and the female magician led fifty monks to respond in the center.

Bray and the Imperial cavalry were in the back ready to move.

During the formation, the monks worked very hard to bless the soldiers and cavalry of the defense team with magic shields according to Chen Jian's request, so that the soldiers on the front line could have an extra layer of protection and reduce unnecessary losses.

This order cost the monks more than half of their mana, and each monk had to give eight soldiers a magic shield due to the number of people.

This practice of using monks as auxiliary troops has puzzled a group of monks who can also attack magically, in the establishment of the empire, they have always been excellent ranged attack troops, but they didn't expect that today's battle has been going on for so long, but they don't even have a chance to make a move.

Due to the existence of the magic of the "Atmospheric Aegis", most of the feather arrows were blown away from the original direction by the air turbulence formed by the magic, and they fell to the ground helplessly after losing their strength.

The few unaffected arrows were also blocked by the soldiers with their shields, and even if they weren't, they still had magic shields on them, so the soldiers were almost unharmed even though they were in the center of the arrow rain.

And the monks who did not forget to put a magic shield on themselves were also safe and sound, when the arrow rain struck, Chen Jian was very considerate and let them hide under the shields of the soldiers, Chen Jian himself was blessed with a magic shield by the female magician, and was also protected by several soldiers with shields with the female magician.

After these two waves of ranged attacks, the bandits began to be confused.

The inexplicable collapse of the rear reserve made the robber soldiers panic, and not only the archers stopped attacking, but also the advancing bandit infantry stopped and turned their heads to look behind to see what was happening.

The bandits then spotted two groups of people fleeing far away on either side of the battlefield, as well as the unusual behavior of the harpy banshees in the sky.

And the screams that came faintly from behind in the eerie cold wind of Baildus.

"Dwarves!"

Although it was impossible to hear what the scattered reserve soldiers were shouting, the unclear word dwarf in the sound of the wind still shocked the bandits.

Chen Jian, who was paying close attention to the other party's movements in front of the magic screen, turned his head to the female magician and shouted, "It's now!" Let's go! ”
