Needless to say, all the actions of the Gan Leader since he took away the blindness of the adults, as well as his deification of himself in the army and the promotion of some remarks conducive to the unity of the army, coupled with the covert control of the direction of public opinion in Hammondal, as well as the generous treatment in the army, the promotion mechanism and the martyr's monument that is already under construction, have all made the lord the lord the fanatical support of the soldiers of Hammondal, and this fanaticism has a tendency to become more and more intense, almost rising to the level of faith.

Under such circumstances, the half-elves' words made the soldiers quickly calm down, and they recalled that the formations and tactics they used were indeed designed by the lord, and also remembered the glorious record of the lord who defeated the enemy several times with fewer victories, and even remembered that the lord had been creating all kinds of miracles since he came to Hammondal.

And at this moment, this magical lord stood behind them, watching them

！

The panic and fear in the hearts of the soldiers quickly disappeared, and in its place was a fanatical fighting spirit.

At this time, the half-elf voice that noticed the change of the soldiers sounded again: "Now, are you still afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid!" Two hundred and fifty soldiers replied in unison, the sound of their roars echoing over Bailders.

The sudden outburst of high spirits and strong fighting intent from the soldiers of Hammondale stunned the Imperial cavalry on the side, and even the griffons in the sky caused some commotion because of the roar of the soldiers.

Bremer was also secretly surprised. He had just seen a Hammondale soldier in his direction who was a little unsteady from panic, but in the blink of an eye, this. The soldier's face was flushed, and he glared at the enemy in front of him, and his feet were even more stable, as if they had taken root on the ground.

This made him wonder if his eyes were out of the way.

I found myself distracted on the battlefield. The champion knight was a little ashamed, he peeked at Jian Chen on the side, but found that the other party was also looking at him.

"Bremer, the distance between the two sides should be enough for you to charge, take your cavalry around those carriages to meet them, and clean up the cavalry on both flanks of the enemy! Those cavalry must not be allowed to attack the flanks of the defenders! Don't chase after the enemy is repelled, come back right away! ”

Pleasure, my lord! Bremer looked at Jian Chen with complicated eyes, answered, and then led the cavalry to attack.

Jian Chen's series of measures and the strange changes in the Hammondale soldiers made this battle-hardened champion knight very incomprehensible, but at this time, it was obviously not suitable to question, obedience was the best choice at the moment, and there was nothing wrong with the order to protect his flanks.

Watch as the cavalry rushed out in two directions. Jian Chen turned back to the female magician and said, "Master Temple." Later, please don't do it casually, just prepare the magic according to my orders. ”

"Why?" The sorceress was a little puzzled, she was about to cast a meteor shower and throw it on the enemy's head, but was stopped by Jian Chen.

And those monks who were about to use the limb system magic "Limb Damage" to attack the enemy from a distance were also stopped by Chen Jian.

"Now I don't have time to explain. But please trust me and obey me! Chen Jian said lightly, with no expression on his face, "I need your cooperation very much now!" ”

This sentence made the female magician a little stunned, in her impression, Jian Chen had never spoken to her with such an attitude and tone.

Then she noticed Jian Chen's eyes. It was a pretty focused look.

At this moment, Jian Chen had already put all his energy into this battle where the two sides had a huge disparity in strength.

A sudden enemy, a sudden battle, and for various reasons, he could not avoid the battle.

However, the enemy is far stronger than his own side.

This feeling of going from heaven to hell made Chen Jian extremely annoyed, and at the same time, he also felt that his life was seriously threatened again.

Chen Jian has never been a person who is not afraid of death, on the contrary, he is very afraid of death, but it is precisely because he is afraid of death, so whenever he faces a desperate situation, the strong survival ** can make him burst out with incomparable courage and strong potential.

His brain, which had begun to be a little sluggish from a period of leisurely days before, was now running at a rapid pace again, and he asked the sorceress to pull the magic screen formed by the Magical Eye in front of him, monitoring all the changes between the two sides in the area of war.

The magical magic screen made Chen Jian at this moment have a very unreal feeling of the environment he was in, looking at his own position and the advancing enemy troops in the picture, Chen Jian suddenly had the illusion that he was sitting in front of the computer and playing a real-time strategy game.

It's just that now, I don't have a mouse or keyboard in my hands, and every command must be played by myself

Reach.

But the vibrations coming from the ground, the frenzied shouts of the soldiers in front, and the silver whistle in the sky representing the griffin's attack all reminded Jian Chen of his current situation.

This is not a game, this is a real battlefield with no saves and cannot be restarted.

The result of failure may be death.

Recognizing the facts, Jian Chen forced himself to put his fears behind him and devote himself to command.

Although there is little military experience. But Chen Jian, who likes to play real-time strategy games very much on Earth, was not in a hurry at this time, and after calming down, he began to quickly calculate the power he had in his hand and the possible changes in the battle situation, and at the same time instructed the female magician to start preparing a few in order, magic.

And what makes the sorceress strange is that. These spells are only expert-level magic

At this time, the first battle after the establishment of the Hammondale Defense Force finally officially began. The bandit cavalry in the middle was already within the effective range of the heavy crossbows at this time, due to the shortest distance.

Nearly 400 robber cavalry let out wild shouts of killing, desperately urging the horses under them, and rushed to the phalanx of the soldiers of the defense team along the road that Chen Jian had deliberately moved out of the way in an indomitable attitude.

"First column! Shoot the arrows! ”

"Second column! Shoot the arrows! ”

At the sound of the half-elves' command, five rows of Hammondale soldiers began firing one by one, each of which was able to bring a hundred sharp crossbow arrows to the enemy in front of them.

The heavy crossbow of the Erathia Empire is worthy of being a well-known weapon on the continent to kill the enemy, and using this kind of strong crossbow that can be shot through even ordinary steel armor to deal with the robber cavalry in front of most of them are still wearing simple leather armor, it can be said to be a knife for killing chickens.

The first two columns of soldiers had caused dozens of casualties to the bandit cavalry, and would have suffered even more had it not been for the shield protection they had received from the dwarven caravans.

However, the cavalry group that had already run away did not slow down, and the opponent's resistance also aroused the bandits' killing intent, making them even more eager to rush into the opponent's formation and slash to their heart's content.

Lean your body tightly on the horse's back. The robber cavalry shielded their bodies with steel cavalry shields made by the dwarves, while the spurs on their feet constantly stimulated their horses in the hope of gaining more speed.

Effective protection allowed the shooting of the 3rd Column Hammondale soldiers to cause only a dozen or so robbers

Finding out about this, the half-elf Pete was annoyed.

Due to their lack of battlefield experience, both the half-elves and the soldiers made a rather low-level mistake: they aimed at the cavalry itself, not at the target, and the horses were larger, easier to shoot, and without any protection.

The horses that have lost their knights do not stop there, they will continue to charge forward with the charging cavalry, which is a kind of inertia, and therefore, the speed of the robber cavalry is not hindered by the few horses that reach the ground.

This scene reminded the half-elf Pete of a sentence that the lord had said to him.

Shoot the man before the horse. The thief fights the king first.

"Don't shoot people, shoot their horses!" The half-elf once again opened his griffon's bow and aimed at the horse of a cavalryman in front of him, while loudly issuing a new order, "Fourth column! Shoot! ”

The body of a war horse is much larger than that of a knight. It's also easier to aim, but at the same time, the horse's ability to withstand damage is also stronger than the knight itself, a hundred crossbow arrows, but only caused dozens of horses to fall, many war horses have several sharp arrows inserted in their bodies, blood flowing, but as long as they don't hurt the vital point, they still neighed in pain and ran forward under the control of the knight.

This is the power of the war horse, ordinary horses have long been panicked and run around when they are hit like this, but the war horse can still obey the knight's command and move forward in this situation

。

However, the dozens of war horses that fell still caused considerable trouble to the robber cavalry advancing at full speed, and the sudden fall of the war horses in front not only made the knights on the horses scream and fall out, but also made the cavalry following closely behind them trip to the ground with their men and horses in a state of panic.

The cavalry in the charge suddenly turned on their backs, and the momentum of the entire charge was also paused.

But it was only a moment, and the robber cavalry, which had been prepared in the rear, jumped over their fallen companions and horses, and while trampling the poor fellows into a pulp, they also smoothly increased their speed again.

"Fifth column! Shoot! ”

Another wave of crossbow arrows caused great damage to the cavalry again, but by this time, the bandit cavalry was already very close to the phalanx of the defenders, and the Hammondale soldiers simply did not have enough time to reload the crossbow arrows, and even if they did, it was useless.

Face the enemies that are about to rush in front of you. Even if they could shoot again, the soldiers would not be able to escape being tortured by the remaining cavalry.

At the same time, the two lines of Elasia Imperial cavalry led by Bremer also met the bandit cavalry on the left and right flanks.

As soon as the two sides fought, the robber cavalry suffered a great loss.

The well-equipped, well-trained and experienced cavalry cavalry of the Erathian Imperial Cavalry had an understanding of cavalry tactics that could not be compared to the hastily formed bandit cavalry, not to mention that the most elite bandit cavalry was arranged in the middle by Philip.

These robber cavalry, who were responsible for attacking the enemy's flank, behaved in one word in the face of the Imperial cavalry, who were more skilled in horsemanship than themselves.

And they were indeed scattered by the Imperial cavalry like chopping melons and vegetables, and the robber cavalry, who lacked cavalry rifles, ate weapons and equipment not as large as their opponents in the battle with the Imperial cavalry

。

Bremer, who took the lead, easily pierced the body of a robber cavalryman with the long cavalry spear in his hand, and then casually threw away the cavalry spear that was still stuck in the opponent's body and could not be pulled out, and drew his own fairly well-maintained sharp knight's long sword, and took the other. Misplaced with his own fierce robber, wielding a mace, cut off his horse.

Behind him, more Imperial cavalry were repeating these movements.

Shoot the gun, discard the gun, draw the sword, swing the sword.

The standard and skillful tactical maneuvers of the Imperial cavalry showed the good personal qualities of Bremer and the cavalry.

Although the Imperial cavalry was inferior in number to the other side. But there is not much difference, and the huge gap in strength makes this difference in numbers so insignificant.

It was just a hedge, and the loose formation of the robber cavalry was chiseled through by the imperial cavalry with the array of sharp arrows that were gathered, and on the road that the national cavalry charged, the robbers left behind the corpses of the land, the horses that lost their masters and the remaining cavalry fled in panic.

As for the Imperial cavalry, the two wings together lost less than ten horses.

The rout of the cavalry on both flanks made Philip, the leader of the dragoon bandit group who was watching the battle in the rear, jump to the eyelids, and the strength of the opposing cavalry made his newly settled heart beat violently again.

He turned his head to look at the carriage beside him, and reminded softly: "Mr. Hackett, the attack on both flanks has failed! What should I do now? ”

Shakett in the carriage snorted and said coldly: "I originally thought that they could start to play a little, but I didn't expect that the mud would never be able to support the wall, and even a charge of the Erathian cavalry could not be stopped, which really disappointed me!" Those rare horses were wasted in vain! But it doesn't matter, let the infantry on both wings speed up and press up! Although the opponent's cavalry is powerful, the fact that the number is too small will not change. As long as they are surrounded by our infantry, those cavalry who have lost their speed are not at our disposal! ”

Philip nodded yes, and was about to turn around to give an order, when he suddenly felt that the magic elements on the battlefield seemed to fluctuate.

Due to the problem of its own strength. Philip's feeling was a little sluggish, he turned his head to look in the direction of the magician team, only to find that these guys who were not far from his own strength or even a little inferior to him were also talking to each other in confusion.

Then he heard a loud explosion ahead.

Five consecutive rounds of crossbow bolt strikes. The robber cavalry lost more than a hundred men, but after discovering that the other side had finally stopped firing, the remaining 200 or so bandit cavalry were demoralized again, and they all mobilized their horses to pick up speed again, ready to rush into the middle of the damned crossbowmen and slash and slaughter.

At this distance, those damn crossbowmen won't have time to reload their bolts!

The robbers screamed excitedly, but they had only advanced a short distance before they were attacked unexpectedly.

A wall of fire more than ten meters long suddenly emerged from the ground and appeared on the path of the cavalry's advance, this sudden deadly barrier network blocked the direction of the largest number of cavalry, so that many unprepared robber cavalry and horses crashed headlong.

By the time the cavalry rushed out from the other side of the wall of fire, the man had become a man of fire, and the horse had become a horse of fire.

The magic flames, whose temperature far exceeded that of ordinary flames, caused these unlucky cavalrymen to be extremely seriously injured in the moment they crossed the wall of fire, and the fire-covered war horses stumbled a few steps before falling to the ground with a wail, knocking the cavalrymen who were also covered in fire and screaming to the ground.

On the other side of the wall of fire, more horses that had not had time to stop rushed into the wall of fire with terrified cavalry.

Fire magic "Fire Demon Wall." ”

The somewhat impatient sorceress Ashtemp, who had been waiting, finally waited for the lord's order and began to act according to the lord's arrangement.

"The timing was right! The next magic is "Blazing Fire Thunder" placed in this position". Jian Chen was quite satisfied that the sorceress could accurately grasp her intentions and complete them in time, and then he pointed out the second attack position with his finger on the magic screen.

The sorceress nodded, and began to chant incantations quickly, while her gaze was firmly locked on the battlefield position designated by Jian Chen.

Abdu was a warrior of a nomadic tribe, and since his nomadic tribe surrendered to the dragoon bandits, he became a natural bandit.

Abdu's riding skills are quite superb. People are also a little clever, he knows that on the battlefield, the faster he rushes, the faster he dies, so he has always controlled the speed of the horse to mix in the cavalry, and unhurriedly followed the brigade forward.

After a magical wall of fire appeared in front of you. Abdu, who was charging in the direction of the wall of fire, was as shocked as the other bandits around him. Fortunately, thanks to his excellent horse control skills, he not only slowed down the horse's speed, but also managed to turn the horse's head to the right, and finally he narrowly rushed out from the edge of this terrifying wall of fire.

Looking back at the wall of fire that had been left behind him and the companions who had been burned behind the wall of fire, Abdu, who had escaped, was a little frightened, because he had just seen many warriors from the same tribe as him, although they had successfully controlled their horses and stopped in front of the wall of fire, but because of the push and shoving of other robbers who could not stop their horses behind, they were squeezed into the wall of fire, and died extremely unjustly.

Having calmed down, Abdo began to examine the situation on the battlefield, and then he noticed that the wall of fire that appeared on the left side of the battlefield was long. But it did not stop all the bandit cavalry, on the right side of the battlefield, more bandit cavalry were rushing towards the enemy's crossbowmen phalanx, and themselves, at this time, were also being coerced by them and rushing forward.

But Abdu, who had not died in the catastrophe, had only followed the group for a short time when he felt the horse's hooves sink as if he had stepped on something.

Then, with a loud explosion, Abdo felt his body fly high as if it had lost its weight, and he broke away from his horse, spun in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground

Above.

before losing consciousness; He vaguely saw a deep pit appear next to him. Around the pit, there were several mutilated corpses of people and horses.
