The Higg soldiers who reacted were not only demoralized, but even became a little overwhelmed after losing the main general, in the face of the enemy heavy infantry that was approaching hundreds of paces away, all the Higg soldiers looked very ugly, if it weren't for the deputy commander-in-chief Bols and the great magician Emaar sitting in charge at this time, it is estimated that the morale would have collapsed.

Bols was also very panicked at this time, and he didn't even get out of the shock of the paladin killing Grace in seconds just now, because he asked himself that under the attack of the paladin's invincible fighting spear, he almost didn't even have a chance to escape, but fortunately, the paladin didn't know whether it was because of his identity or other reasons, so he didn't continue to shoot, but chose to turn around and leave, which made him feel that the pressure on his body had decreased sharply and gradually calmed down.

Bols, who calmed down, carefully analyzed the current situation, with a canyon behind him, a narrow space that restricted his retreat, and under the pursuit of the enemy's cavalry, he was afraid that most of the soldiers would be buried in the canyon. Charging head-on, the enemy is a mixed corps of infantry and cavalry with high morale and well-preparedness, which is not only several times larger than its own in numbers, but also supplemented by a large number of war equipment, so it is also a choice to surrender to death.

Bols thought for a moment and made up his mind. He patted his horse to the great magician Emaar for a moment of deliberation, and then he patted his horse to the front of the array, he raised the spear in his hand, and luckily spoke, and his voice was heard far away, so that every soldier behind him could hear his voice clearly.

"Soldiers of Higg, now that I have taken over the command of the Legion, I see in your eyes the same fear in my heart, maybe one day the Empire will succumb to this, but not today, today we will fight, for the honor of the Eagle of Higg! ”

After Bols finished speaking, he quickly gave the order to charge, and the order was quickly transmitted to every battalion of the valley mouth army through the order flag of the herald, and a dense military order soon sounded in the barracks, and the generals of each battalion quickly made the final deployment before the charge, and at this time the soldiers who were still blocked in the canyon had no one to take care of.

"Woo!"

The horn of the charge sounded, and the soldiers in the vanguard began to urge their horses, and quickly increased the speed of their horses, striving to increase the speed of their horses to the highest speed in less than three hundred paces, and it was the great swordsman Bols who led the troops to the forefront.

Seeing that the opposing cavalry had already charged, the heavy infantry stopped advancing after a burst of orders, and thrust the heavy shield in their hands into the ground, and the spear stretched out along the gap between the shields, forming a defensive formation. The archers in the rear also bent their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.

When the cavalry rushed to a distance of two hundred paces from the infantry, it suddenly adjusted its direction, correcting the plane shock to a diagonal charge to the north, because from this direction the rush out, the front was a vast plain, which was very suitable for the cavalry to retreat, but the distance back to Baden was a little farther.

At this time, Bols was only thinking about how to escape with more soldiers, and he didn't think about returning to Baden at all.

The change of direction of the cavalry was obviously unexpected by Gutesian, and an urgent military order was issued, and the rear lineup was jumping.

At this time, the battle was already fully unfolded, the archers poured a large number of arrows into the cavalry shock group, every second a large number of cavalry arrows fell off their horses and were drowned in the rolling iron stream, and the light cavalry on both sides of the cavalry camp also counterattacked with bows and arrows at the same time, but the range was relatively close, and it was within the defensive range of the heavy infantry, which did not cause large casualties, but only played a role in emboldening their own side.

When the cavalry turned, the great magician Aimmar, who had been preparing, made a move, and he used up the energy of five large magic crystals on a large fire-based magic array, and then the color of the sky suddenly dimmed, and a strange red ball appeared in the sky above the defending heavy infantry array, exuding a dazzling light, and the red ball frantically gathered magical energy, and quickly expanded, and then contracted violently, and exploded. The huge shock wave blew the soldiers below into the air along with their shields, and the sky was covered with fire and rain, and countless soldiers with flames threw away their weapons, rolled, extinguished fires, and wailed.

The defense line of the heavy infantry was suddenly torn open a hole dozens of paces wide, and the camp became chaotic.

"Hold on to your formation!"

Even the officers shouted throat tears could not calm the chaos.

By this time, Higg's cavalry had already rushed in.

It seems that if the magician is not extinguished, it will be difficult for the light of the gods to spread throughout the continent. ”

Watching the rain of fire falling from the sky, the muscles in his face twitched violently, and he quickly ordered his cavalry to intercept Higg's cavalry array laterally, and at the same time, all the archers, catapults, and crossbows were concentrated in the gap of the heavy infantry, and they must intercept the breakthrough of the cavalry behind.

When Higg's cavalry broke through about 5,000 people, the medium and heavy cavalry of the "Sword of War" legion finally succeeded in cutting off the opponent's breakthrough formation with the assistance of their own long-range troops, and the remaining cavalry in the encirclement tried to break through from other directions several times, but they were all blocked, at this time they did not have a great magician to open the way, and the chaos from the depths of the canyon in the rear had spread, and a major general co-captain who led the team wiped the blood on his face, and his expression was full of despair.

At this time, the opponent's array was divided, and a blonde knight slapped his horse out, his arrogant gaze swept over the group of Hig cavalry in front of him, and then shouted loudly:

"Knights, don't make senseless sacrifices, put down the spears in your hands, and I will preserve the dignity of your knights!"

"Dangchang!"

I don't know whose knight's spear fell to the ground.

The night was already very deep, and some of the soldiers in charge of the vigil were dozing off against the battlements, and some were talking jokes absentmindedly, and the atmosphere of the whole city seemed calm and relaxed. And if the time is pushed back by a day, this is still a battlefield of corpses and a sea of blood, everyone is confused about whether they can survive tomorrow, although a day has passed, but at this time the city can still smell a strong smell of blood, this smell seems to warn the defenders that the war has not gone far.

But this morning, when the enemy retreated suddenly, and we sent our cavalry in pursuit, and if there were no accidents, the news of a complete victory would soon come back, and at that time everyone who was a participant in this war would be rewarded.

At the corner of the city wall near the gate, several sentries sat cross-legged on the ground analyzing the half of the cigar they had gotten from nowhere, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation during the war. And the topic they are discussing at the moment is this war.

"Compared to our dragon knight, Gutsian is still a little tender, and if he is destined to return to Winston this time, I don't know how the paladin will spank him. One of the sentries said with a smile as he took a deep puff on his cigar and exhaled a smoke ring.
