242.Chapter 242: Stalemate and Reversal
How to hide?
Elementalist Cohen's grin froze on his face, and his brain was completely short-circuited.
Because of the continuous crossing of the narrow streets, there were only two knights who followed Cohen to this place - and these two were still left twenty meters behind, and the rest of the knights had already been dragged into a long line of hundreds of meters, and they were rushing towards here in a swarm of swarms...
Therefore, Cohen at this time was exposed to the fire aiming range of more than ten people alone.
Time on the battlefield seemed to pass slowly, and Cohen opened his mouth wide as if he wanted to say something, but when he looked at Roddy, he found that the other party had already put an arrow on the bow at some point.
"Don't be so funny in the next life. ”
Roddy's burst arrow suddenly slashed through the air, and although the "Ice Shield" was strong in defense, it couldn't withstand the precise strike of Roddy, the "Shield Breaker", - the arrow was instantly nailed to the surface of the "Ice Shield" at a vertical angle, and then the "Woo" exploded, instantly shattering the entire shield into fragments all over the ground...
With one blow to break the shield, Roddy did it more calmly than when he faced Francis.
Cohen screamed in fright and raised his wand to cast other spells, but before he could recite any spells, he was shot like a hedgehog in a muffled series of "poofs".
The dignified advanced elementalist fell to the ground with blood spurting before he even had time to cast a fireball technique, which shocked the knights who rushed from behind, and they couldn't help but pull the reins and stop in the middle of the crossroads...
Roddy, on the other hand, made a similar stretching motion, ignoring the knights and turning towards a two-story building on the side.
"Aim - shoot!"
The sound of orders echoed above the surrounding buildings, and behind Roddy, the scouts with short bows had already launched the next volley, followed by the exclamations and screams of the knights...
This is the advantage brought by the commanding heights "fire suppression", although the rate of fire of bows and arrows in the era of cold weapons is not as fast as artillery, but the concentrated fire in the cramped space is still a nightmare for melee arms.
"Despicable!"
"They're over here!"
"Don't go back! Go forward!"
The cavalry who came one after another were completely in a situation of "being beaten and not fighting back", but with the advantage of their armor, they did not immediately reduce their numbers too much - but the death of the elemental master Cohen was so obvious that the morale of these knights slowed down in an instant, and they all hesitated whether to retreat or attack...
However, just as they hesitated, the sudden sound of horses' hooves around them made these knights collectively stunned.
Originally, they thought that this was the second batch of reinforcements sent by the lords, but when the knights at the crossroads looked around, they saw the cavalry rushing to the left, right and ahead... It's all strange faces.
"Enemy... Enemy?"
"It's the enemy!"
"Prepare for battle!"
When these knights realized the problem, panic and irrepressibly spread - they were obviously besieging each other, why were they besieged by the other party at this crossroads!?
Even a few of the advanced knights felt as if they had been hammered head-on... They really can't figure out how these guys in front of them dare to "counter-surround" themselves when they are surrounded by thousands of soldiers...
What's wrong with the world? Can cats be beaten around with rats?
At this moment, the lords on the periphery still thought that they had won the battle, the more than 1,000 soldiers who were chasing and intercepting were dangling headlessly four or five streets away, and the more than 200 cavalry who followed behind had just stepped into the town.
Maybe in three or five minutes these soldiers will be able to surround this place, but now... This so-called "elite force" can only helplessly face the three-sided attack of the cavalry regiment under Luo Di!
"Cavalry regiment, charge!"
Sodrore's command resounded throughout the block, and the three cavalry teams accelerated with all their might in just twenty seconds, crashing into their scattered array when these noble knights didn't make a gesture of resistance at all!
The sound of crashing and slashing suddenly resounded through the streets, although they were all cavalry on horseback, but the result of standing in place was almost equivalent to the harvested wheat straw - under one face, more than ten people were directly hacked to death in the three sides of the attack!
The three advanced knights wanted to resist, but because of their position at the back, they could only watch as the team was compressed to the rear...
The effect of the training from the Orc King is undoubtedly highlighted at this time - in terms of strength, the capable knights under these nobles are not weaker than Roddy's cavalry, but they do not have the courage and blood of the scouts when they rush to kill!
What's more, they have no conviction to fight.
The scouts and Templars who rushed to kill knew it well... The enemies in front of us are all the traitors of the kingdom, and their existence disgraces the glory of the kingdom!
"Kill these traitors! for the glory of the kingdom of Karen!"
Carter's roar rang out, and in the chaos of the battlefield, all the scouts responded with one word at the same time - "Kill!"
This is a scalp-numbing power, and the momentum of the knights who are trying to resist is instantly suppressed!
They weren't wooden men, they were all swinging their swords and trying to resist the scouts' attacks. But somehow, these knights couldn't have any "winning" thoughts in their hearts, but immediately thought of retreating...
"Can't retreat! Rush out!"
"Kill them all!
After all, the three advanced knights had experienced more war, and while shouting these morale-stabilizing words, they rushed to the front line and firmly watched the pressure of the attack.
"Block the way out and compress forward!"
Sodrol shouted a sword and blasted away the approaching knights, and then rushed to the front of the battle formation himself, leading the team to forcibly squeeze the line that had just been stabilized...
There was no room for any hesitation and luck on the battlefield, and as soon as Sodrore cut the two of them, he was hit head-on by the advanced knight - with a "bang", under the "battle qi" that exploded, Sodrore was almost shocked off his horse!
The gap in strength is insurmountable, especially in such a hard-fought contest.
But even so, Sodrol gritted his teeth and gritted his sword, clamped the horse's belly and rushed forward again - but this time the collision, the appearance of the "Holy Shield" made it easy for him to withstand the opponent's attack...
The ensuing rays of light instantly boosted the morale of the cavalry regiment - Akasha frantically unleashed the "Holy Shield", "Restoration" and "Primary Healing" almost at any cost, and then tore open the scrolls one by one, and laid a curse on the knights who were trying to resist the siege...
Fear, confusion, fatigue... The combat strength of the knights who were blocked at the intersection was suddenly weakened a lot, and they originally had some morale to resist, but as someone in the team turned around and fled because of the curse of "fear", the morale of the entire team immediately dropped to the bottom!
A siege at the crossroads is, from a tactical point of view, the standard "encirclement of three and one": this terrain can both "amplify" the pressure of charging from three directions, but leave a way to retreat, so that the enemy does not fight to the death in despair.
The defensive line began to become precarious, and if it weren't for the hard work of the three advanced knights, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago.
But it was precisely because of their existence that the battle, which should have ended directly, gradually came to a stalemate - this situation was also the first time that this cavalry regiment had a "draw" with the enemy in a face-to-face battle...
From an outsider's point of view, although these cavalry regiments that have not yet advanced are commendable enough, such a record is absolutely a shame for the scouts who have experienced countless battles!
But this is also something that can't be helped, although there are only three advanced knights, no matter who they are, they can only rely on the "holy shield" to defend against their long swords, and they don't even have a chance to fight back.
Time passed, but the situation became more and more unfavorable for Sodrol and the others - in the distance, the soldiers who were already searching for them had noticed the movement here, shouting loudly for more soldiers to surround them...
"Hold on! Hold on a little longer and they'll be dead!"
The advanced knights all realized the turn of the battle and immediately shouted loudly, trying to restore their morale.
The compressed defense line began to rebound, and the knights, who had been a few points weaker, actually squeezed the scouts' line out little by little, and those knights who suffered from the "fear" DeBuff also recovered after the effect faded and rejoined the warband...
With each passing second, the tide is turning.
It's just that in the noisy battlefield, everyone forgot one thing - the guy who led them here is missing.
"Talent bar. ”
In the shadows, Roddy added the new talent points after the upgrade to the "Enhanced Concentration Shot" again.
So far, the "Enhanced Condensation Shot" has been enhanced by four talents, and the effect is "Reduces cast time by 4 seconds and increases maximum damage by 40%." ”
Level 2's "Concentration Shot" itself increases base damage by 12%, 4/5 of the "Enhanced Concentration Shot" talent increases by 40%, and "Ring of Eagle Eye" increases by 25% again - all that adds up to a staggering 77%!
The epic [Frost Thorn] was raised, and Roddy pulled out the only "Burst Arrow" left in the quiver, and a faint glow appeared on his wrist when the "Eagle Eye Stone Ring" was opened...
When the "Concentration Shot", which takes 6 seconds to release, is reduced to 2 seconds, this skill begins to completely undergo a qualitative transformation.
On the battlefield, an advanced knight who had just repelled Carter suddenly turned his head - he was two levels higher than Roddy, he instinctively sensed the crisis, but his body was riding on the war horse, and his dodging action hesitated for half a second because of the shaking.
However, it was this momentary hesitation... In the next moment, a big hole was blasted open in his chest by the "Burst Arrow"!
When the corpse flew upside down, Roddy, who was standing in the shadow on the second floor, did not end the action in his hand, but turned on the "Rapid Shooting" at the same time - the BUFF icon of "+5% Attack Speed" appeared, and Roddy didn't look at the knight who was directly killed by himself, drew out the arrow, and aimed the arrow at the next enemy...
