Chapter 123: The King of Light Cavalry
"Ten thousand threatening words are not worth an arrow." Serkin said coldly, and after speaking, he didn't say anything, and turned around and returned to his own formation.
Dorian snorted coldly and returned to the battle.
Seeing Dorian turn his head fiercely, Old Dawson raised his hand, and the Knights began to prepare for battle. Originally, this was just a formality, and no one would think that it would be possible to persuade the enemy to retreat.
The saddle was tied to the right hand, the javelin was drawn and placed horizontally on the buckle of the saddle, the spear was fixed vertically on the side of the saddle, and the shield was clenched in the left hand. The Knights' full set of Mithril armor, Thorsilver weapons, and the only one in Azeroth.
Directly opposite, a kilometer away, the Crusaders were all mounted on their mounts, converging into a tight formation.
"Hit? Or is it around? Serkin asked, and Tudor frowned, not immediately ordered.
The current situation is very troublesome, the opponent is the elite of the elite, the famous Azeroth brave division, if you attack head-on, maybe your side can win with absolute numerical superiority, but then the Crusader Regiment may not have a few people left. But if you don't fight, the other party is now lightly armed, it is difficult to get rid of it, and it will be chased and killed by the other party, even if it suddenly reaches the Bella Valley, I am afraid there will not be a few people left.
At this moment, he suddenly missed that nasty little cub Overseer, and if he was there, he would definitely be able to think of the best way.
Knock knock!
In his thoughts, the earthquake trembled, and Tudor looked up, only to see two behemoths climbing up the mound opposite.
Mammoths of Bella Valley!
After days of hard work by the craftsmen, these two mammoths are now the same as the war horses of the Fallen Star Knights, and they are equipped with bright light mythril armor plates in the weak parts, which is even more powerful and majestic. With them to help in the battle, I am afraid that the Crusaders will run out, and they may not be able to extinguish the number of the Fallen Star Knights.
"Hit!" Seeing these two mammoths appear, Tudor immediately made a decision, turned to Serkin and ordered, "You lead 1,000 cavalry, drag them to my death, and the rest of the cavalry will follow me to the valley of Bella." ”
1000 against 300, it seems that the Crusaders are still three times the number of the enemy, but after the last battle of the Bella Valley, the world has rediscovered the horror of this cavalry regiment. Serkin didn't think that his subordinates were much stronger than the wolf cavalry that was transferred, and that time the 300 wolf cavalry against the 100 fallen star knights had no power to fight back at all.
"Yes! My lord! Ser Jinyuan opened his eyes, roared, and began to count his troops. He is a soldier, it is his duty to obey orders, and life and death are not things that should be considered before the battle.
"The 1st Sword and Shield Brigade, the 5th and 6th Headhunter Brigade, the 9th Archer Brigade!" Serkin circled the formation, shouting loudly, and at each point a number was issued, and the brigade immediately came out of the column and galloped after him.
Circling around, the cavalry that had been pointed out followed him in a spiral, a squad of about 100 people, three squads for a brigade, and four brigades with about 1,000 soldiers and horses after removing the attrition, and the tail of the tail rushed forward.
Circling to the front of the formation again, Serkin did not slow down, and directly led his subordinates to charge.
Tudor was expressionless, and when the last horse rushed past him, he took the reins and led the remaining 1,300 or so crusaders to the north.
In order to cover Tudor's main force, Serkin preemptively launched an attack, leading the way to the opponent's left flank. It was impossible for the light cavalry to form an attack front like the heavy cavalry to attack from the front, but they still chose the east side of the enemy and used light armor to block the pursuit of the opponent.
The Knights of the Falling Star ignored Tudor's detour and let them go, waiting until the Crusader's array had formed a straight line on the left flank before they began to change formation.
I saw that the knight at the far right of them reined in and turned around and galloped in reverse, followed by the knights behind him, one by one, and soon the whole group formed a circle that rotated endlessly.
On the periphery, 1,000 troll crusades also ran into a big circle, enveloping the Knights of the Falling Stars. A large concentric circle appeared on the battlefield, and the two sides galloped in reverse around the two mammoths in the middle, which was spectacular.
Of course, such tactical actions are not for the sake of good looks, and people can project the javelin farther by borrowing horsepower.
"Put!"
Serkin shouted loudly and threw the javelin in his hand, and all the people were ordered, and thousands of javelins were thrown at the same time. Looking down from above, I saw countless black tentacles stretching out from the outer ring, extending to the inner circle.
"Cast!" Old Barton roared, facing the black line, and three hundred thin silver lines stretched out from the inner circle, like fireworks.
Tom tom!
The Knights of the Fallen Star raised their shields, and all the black javelins were blocked, but no one fell off their horses. The Thur Silver Shield is so hard that an ordinary iron-tipped javelin can't penetrate it at all, and even if it does, it's hard to pierce through the Mithril Chain Mail.
On the other hand, the crusaders fell, and immediately a large number of them fell, and their leather armor was as if nothing was in front of the silver javelins, and they were easily pierced, nailed to the ground and wailed and struggled.
Instantly attrition of more than a hundred, the outer ring immediately became thinner, Serkin gritted his teeth and took the reins to the right, and the outer ring was immediately wider and wider. Javelin projection didn't work, and he planned to get away and hit him with a bow and arrow, though it didn't seem to be of much use.
The Knights of the Falling Star remained unchanged in formation, moving south in rotation as a whole, always biting the south side of the outer ring, and constantly throwing javelins. After two more turns, the complete ring suddenly loosened the tandem, and the regimental commander Patton took the lead and led the cavalry to break through due south, and the formation ran into a big "? No.
This sudden change of formation was like flowing water, without any stagnation, and the outer circle was suddenly truncated, and it could no longer be turned. After penetrating the formation, Old Patton leaned sharply to the right and rolled back in the direction of the opponent's movement.
The Crusaders in front couldn't stop for a while, and when they reined in their mounts, the Knights of the Fallen Star had already rushed over and raised their swords high. Unable to turn around at this time, the crusaders who crashed in had to draw their scimitars and slash head-on.
There was no suspense in the result, ordinary soldiers against samurai with ranks, ordinary scimitars against one meter and five long thick-backed silver slashing sabers, they could not be matched at all, and they would be broken at the touch. It was not only the knives that were cut off, but also the bodies of the soldiers, and some even their mounts were cut in two.
In one round of engagement, the troll crusade cavalry fell by hundreds more, and the thousands of horsemen that Serkin pointed out were only more than seven hundred in the blink of an eye. The difference in power between the two sides is beyond the imagination of all trolls, including Serkin.
"You must not fight them." Serkin was secretly frightened, and immediately urged the sit-down velociraptor to circle in place, and roared loudly: "The whole army is moving closer to me."
The Velociraptor Cross Legion was also an elite, and as soon as Serkin's order was issued, all the cavalry immediately gave up all tactical moves and moved closer to the commander.
The Knights of the Falling Star calmly changed their formation, and the formation was divided into two, chasing them in the shape of "pincers", blocking the space for the Crusaders to maneuver to both sides, forcing them to run in a straight line.
Looking at such a precise and clear change in formation, Serkin knew he was finished.
The Velociraptor was slightly faster than his horse, but his stamina was a little less, but his troops had been exhausted from the long run. Not to mention the stamina, the explosive power has long been gone, and now they have to pay a heavy price if they want to turn back, and if they don't look back, they can only run to death.
"It's up to you, Grand Overseer." Looking back at most of the Crusaders on the skyline, Serkin gritted his teeth and whipped his mount, leading his men to retreat south.
