Chapter 126: Fierce Battle (Part II)

Watching the blazing thunder she had planted being detonated one after another by the enemy's cavalry, the sorceress Ash Temple could hardly believe what she was seeing.

The fire magic "Blazing Fire Thunder" can use explosive fire elements on the ground to form several elemental mines, which is not weak, but because its appearance is too conspicuous, and it is a passive magic that needs to be triggered by the enemy to launch an attack, it has always been regarded as chicken magic by magicians.

Because as long as you are not blind, no one will be stupid enough to step on such an obviously problematic place.

Female magicians have always been very dismissive of this magic, but today, this chicken rib magic was used by Jian Chen in the chaos of the battlefield.

The facts in front of her made the female magician completely understand the true meaning of this fire magic, which has never been popular, and this is simply a powerful magic born for the battlefield! Only on such a battlefield can it exert its true power and the happy life of the minor officials of the Northern Song Dynasty! The reason why people think it's chicken ribs is simply because people have never used it properly!

This discovery made the female magician look at Jian Chen with an incredible look.

"Prepare the fire magic 'Fire Demon Wall'!"

Chen Jian, who was focused on the battlefield, didn't notice that the female magician was looking at him, his eyes only moving back and forth between the battlefield and the magic screen.

"I see, lord!" The sorceress accepted the latest orders and began to concentrate.

At this time, the robber cavalry that had been badly injured finally recovered from the magic attack, but most of the robber cavalry had completely lost their speed at this time, and only a few cavalry could still maintain their speed and rush towards the opponent.

A guy who looked like the leader of the cavalry yelled and gathered the remaining cavalry, but his actions quickly caught the attention of Pete, who was shooting the half-elf on the spot, who easily shot him through the throat with a feathered arrow.

"Collect the crossbow! Spear up! ”

At the sound of the half-elves' commands, the Hammondale soldiers quickly carried their heavy crossbows back to their backs, and then leaned down to pick up the extra-long spears that had been trampling under their feet, reaching six meters in length.

The long hours of hard training finally had an amazing effect, and the soldiers moved quite neatly, they half-knelt on the ground, aimed the tip of their spears at the enemy in front of them, and at the same time fixed the end of their spears to the ground, and held the barrel of the spear tightly with both hands.

In just an instant, a line of spears was erected on the flat ground.

The spears in the hands of each column of soldiers were pointed diagonally forward, and the soldiers in the back row stretched out their spears from the gap between the soldiers in the front row, and the length of the spears ensured that the tip of each spear was in front of the phalanx, and the enemy wanted to attack the soldiers in the phalanx, he had to break through the blockade of the five-fold spears first.

Chen Jian, who was concentrating on the trend of the battle situation, didn't know that the spear phalanx he had arranged with his memory and understanding was actually very similar to the Macedonian spear phalanx in the history of the earth.

The robber cavalry, who still kept their horses charged, had the good fortune of being the first experiments for the soldiers of Hammondale to experiment with the power of the battle formations and weapons designed by the lords.

About thirty horsemen plunged headlong into the horrible hell of spears with terrified expressions on their faces, and the impact of their high speed made the Hammondale soldiers almost unable to hold the spears in their hands, and the tail of the spear dug deep into the ground.

In the same way, this powerful impact also caused fatal damage to the robber cavalry itself, and almost every cavalry was easily pierced through their bodies by the spears of seven or eight armies with their mounts, and the men and horses were strung on the spears, and the blood that flowed from their bodies flowed down the shafts of the spears, dripping dust, and converging into streams of blood on the ground.

More than thirty horsemen were killed on the spot, and the apparent length difference between their weapons and the enemy's weapons allowed them to inflict no damage on the enemy at all.

Watching this tragic scene up close was disgusting to many first-time Hammondale soldiers, but good discipline allowed them to continue to obey orders and move on to their next tactical move.

Under the command of the half-elves, the spears were pulled out of the corpses of the enemy by the soldiers who stood up, and then they formed a group again, and took off the round iron shield on their backs, holding the shield in their left hand to protect their bodies, and pointing the spear in front of the enemy with the spear in their right hand.

"Forward!" Pete, the half-elf, also had a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, shouting and directing the soldiers to take the initiative to attack the enemy.

In the uniform footsteps of the soldiers, the phalanx began to move forward firmly, they stepped over the corpses left by the enemy in front of them, and bravely advanced in the direction of the enemy, and as they advanced, the sound of neat slogans also sounded.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill Jiansui Daye TXT download!"

This slogan adapted from 121 by Chen Jian can not only keep the soldiers in step in the process of advancing, but also play a role in improving the morale of the soldiers, although the sound of 250 people shouting slogans at the same time cannot be said to be earth-shattering, but it also makes the robber cavalry who are not far in front of them, who have lost more than half of their numbers sharply due to a series of heavy blows, tremble.

The bandits, who had lost their speed and command, were in a dilemma.

After defeating the two wings of the bandits, the cavalry of the Erathian Empire, who were retreating according to Chen Jian's order, were also attracted by this strange shouting of killing, and while controlling the two flanks of the horses returning to the phalanx, they kept looking sideways at the situation in the center of the battlefield, and the strong combat effectiveness of the Hammondale soldiers, who had always been regarded as a waste miscellaneous army, surprised them extremely much.

At first, they thought that the more than 200 crossbowmen would definitely suffer a big loss under the full charge of the opponent's nearly 400 cavalry, but they did not expect that the situation was completely beyond their imagination, and the enemy's cavalry was not only defeated, but also suffered heavy losses.

And what caused all this, in addition to the powerful heavy crossbows in the hands of the soldiers and the extremely poor protection of the other party, more importantly, because the lord let the beautiful sorceress next to him use two expert-level fire magic just right.

Although those spells are greatly enhanced by the master-level strength of the female magician, it is undeniable that they are indeed expert-level magic, and one of them is the famous chicken rib magic "Fire Thunder".

It was these two inconspicuous spells that completely broke the momentum of the cavalry's charge.

How deep does this require an understanding of magic? One by one, the monks admired the lord's five-body casting, and were ashamed of the previous underestimation of him.

And those crossbowmen, now suddenly transformed into spearmen again, not only attacked and killed more than thirty enemy cavalry rushing in front of them, but also shouted strange slogans and launched an attack on the enemy with high morale.

This behavior surprised all the robber cavalry who noticed the situation - by the time the robbers arrived at the battlefield, the Hammondale soldiers had already put their spears on the ground, and were waiting for them with bows and crossbows, and the distance was so that the robbers did not even notice that their opponents had such strange weapons.

At this time, the robbers suddenly found that their opponents in front of them had conjured spears of astonishing length as if by magic, and in the blink of an eye, they all changed from crossbowmen to spearmen.

And the strange way they used spears, and the miserable fate of the more than thirty companions in front of this spear formation, made the robber cavalry feel cold for a while.

More than 200 spears were all concentrated in front of the phalanx by the opponents, and from the direction where the robbers were, they were all bright spear tips.

Many of the spears still had bright red blood stains on their long faces.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was quite close.

Except for a few robber cavalrymen who were not afraid of death, they dared to fight their horses forward, and most of the cavalry timidly began to turn their horses' heads and prepare to retreat.

But it was too late, and a magical wall of fire reappeared, not only directly burning nearly ten robber cavalry, but also blocking the way for many robber cavalry to retreat.

Under Jian Chen's command, the female magician struck again.

The robbers, who had just turned their horses' heads, had to turn to the left or right again, and some of the guys who were moving faster and were speeding up their horses were caught off guard and crashed into the wall of fire with men and horses, screaming and dying.

And the Hammondale soldiers under the command of the half-elves also exerted their power again, and the five-fold dense spears made all the enemies who dared to challenge the phalanx from the front hate, and the cavalry without speed was vulnerable in front of the spear array, and they were assassinated and fell off their horses.

Several robbers with excellent equestrian skills and martial arts instigated their horses to run in front of the phalanx, trying to cut off these terrible spears with their weapons, but they were very angry to find that the designers of these spears in order to prevent this from happening, they actually had the foresight to wrap all the wooden spear bodies at the front end of the spears with iron sheets, so that their tactics could not work as well as they should.

Moreover, this design increases the weight of the front end of the spear, which greatly enhances the penetration and lethality of the spear.

The swords or scimitars in their hands slashed at these spears, only to collide with strings of sparks and make the spears deviate slightly from their original direction, but the Hammondale soldiers noticed their opponent's movements, took a big step forward and stabbed the spears in their hands forward, stabbing all these bold creatures off their horses.

This situation only increased the fear of the robber cavalry for the spear phalanx in front of them.

Due to the obstruction of the magical wall of fire, many of the robber cavalry fell back into a state of confusion, unable to flee before the enemy attacked - the speed of the Hammondale soldiers was quite fast because of the uniform footsteps, and in their equally neat shouts of killing, one bandit after another was neatly assassinated on the spot.

Without the speed of the cavalry, there was not much advantage in the confrontation with the infantry, not to mention that the robber cavalry was facing the disciplined, cooperative, and well-trained Hammondale soldiers at this time.

Every robber cavalry who had to turn around and fight because of the situation was very sad to find that what they were facing was a dozen spears stabbing from different directions at the same time, so many attacks made them simply unstoppable, unavoidable, and could only watch as these strangely shaped spears easily opened a dozen transparent holes in their bodies.

As the corpses of the robbers on the ground grew more and more, the remnants of the robber cavalry finally collapsed completely, and instead of trying to resist, they desperately fled along the wall of fire to both sides, completely ignoring possible enemy attacks, hoping to escape before the opponent could kill them.

At this point, the robber cavalry, which had originally numbered nearly 600 men, launched attacks from three directions all ended in failure, and the cavalry who set out with high spirits were able to escape back to their own camp in their early 100s, and the rest became cold corpses on the border of Baildus.

At the same time as the cavalry was defeated, the battle above the sky also came to an end for the time being, and the harpies, who were inferior in number to the other side, never fought head-on with the griffons according to the requirements of their commanders, but only roamed around in the sky, and tried to lure the other party into the range of their own long-range troops.

After receiving the order, the griffons stopped fighting their opponents and retreated, and the harpys did not dare to pursue, so the two sides stopped.

The crushing defeat of the cavalry and the lack of progress in the air battle caused the bandit infantry group, which was slowly approaching the opponent, to lose their morale and turmoil, and the speed of their advance suddenly slowed down.

And Philip, the leader of the dragoon bandit group and the leader of the bandit alliance, was also frightened.

Although his strength is not good, he still has at least the vision, and the extra-long wall of fire cast by the other party's magician made him guess the level of this fire magician, and he panicked inexplicably because of this.

And the strength of the other soldier's strength made him think that it was a mistake to provoke these killing gods again.

"Mr. Shaket, there is a master-level fire mage on the other side to help! Now what? Our mage troops are just some wandering mages, and the most powerful ones are only expert-level mages, most of them are magic apprentices, and the monks on the other side have not fought so far, we ......"

A panicked Philip again asked for help from the carriage beside him, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the people in the carriage.

"What are you afraid of, it's just a master-level fire magician, even if he uses the powerful meteor fire rain magic, how many times can he use this extremely expensive magic with his magic power? How many of our soldiers can be killed? That's a thousand people at most! And those robbers don't have no feet, and they won't spread out when they see magic? The loss will be even smaller! Although the cavalry was defeated, we still had the upper hand, as long as the infantry pressed on all fronts and formed a melee situation, whether it was their cavalry or that strange spear formation, all of them would be finished Fierce Bird Hunting Atlas TXT download! And not to mention the magicians and those monks! ”

"Really?" Philip was a little skeptical, and although Hackett's words made sense, he always felt as if something was wrong.

"Pass the order, the infantry press on the whole line with the stragglers, and the long-range troops suppress the opponent with all their might, the weak point of the enemy's phalanx is the flanks and the rear, as long as they are surrounded, it is a victory! Ignore the damage caused to us by the opponent's magic, we will definitely win in the end! Also, it doesn't make sense to let the reserves and the magician squad attack together, and keep them! ”

Shakter's voice was categorical and unquestionable: "Don't worry about those griffins, they don't dare to take the initiative to attack anyway, as long as the ground forces are eliminated, these griffons won't do much!" Go and let the soldiers I brought with me who are still in the reserves come and gather with me!" This time I'll take my people and you to fight in person! Go ahead and prepare! ”

Hearing that the other party was going to fight in person, Philip's heart finally settled.

"Yes, Mr. Hackter! I'll arrange it! ”

Seeing that there was a chance of victory, Philip hurried to deliver the order.

After Philip left, a minotaur soldier walked up to the carriage and asked respectfully, "My lord, are we really going to fight with them?" ”

Shaket smiled coldly in the car and said: "The guy on the other side is very difficult to deal with, although we can win, but with the strength of the bandits, when this battle is over, the dwarves have also been killed, do you say we want to fight!" Bring my horse here! ”

"I see, sir!"

The minotaur turned away, and after a while led a horse to the carriage, and it was noted that the saddle on the horse's back was quite special, and it did not seem to have been made for humans.

"Lord Shakter, please get on the horse!"

As the carriage door opened, a muscular caveman with brown skin and sharp bone spurs on his back stepped out of the carriage.

The caveman, with the help of the minotaur, climbed onto his horse, sat down in the special saddle, and took a spear from the hand of another human soldier.

"I didn't expect that a small imperial army would have such an outstanding commander! He even knows how to skillfully use magic to form a situation in his favor for his own army locally! I underestimated him before! And he also has a master-level fire mage to help out! What is the origin of this Imperial army? And why come to Baildus? After you go back, you should inquire carefully, so as not to spoil the master's big things! ”

The caveman turned his head to the battlefield, perceiving everything on the battlefield in his unique way, and was very emotional.

At this time, Philip came to the caveman with a team of about 500 robber soldiers, and what was striking was that there were a large number of Negan natives among these soldiers, such as Medusa, Minotaurs, etc., and the harpys in the sky were also surrounded.

"Mr. Shakert, I've brought all your soldiers here!" The leader of the dragoons bowed respectfully to the cave man and said, "It is the greatest honor in Philip's life to see you on the battlefield!" ”

The cave man Shakett grinned widely, "Don't make a fool of yourself, Lord Chief! Now that you're catching up with the squad of magicians and the rest of the reserve soldiers, the bandits' morale won't continue to be low! The harpies will cover you in the skies! I took my people on a detour from the left! Attack them from the rear! Remember the tactics I told you, as long as a melee situation is formed, then we will win this battle! ”

"I see, Mr. Shaket!" Hearing that the harpy was protecting him, Philip was overjoyed, nodded and retreated, gathered the magician team and the rest of the bandit soldiers, and went into battle with great momentum.

And the cave man Shakt also took his soldiers to organize their formation and rushed out to the left side of the battlefield.
