Chapter 318: Confusing
Chapter 318: Confusing
The barbarians from the north are also far more physically than the legionnaires, but they have a fatal flaw that they do not know magic at all, and they are often quickly defeated by the blows of magic.
The soldiers of the Drew Legion also looked at these orcs in this way, in fact, there was no analogy with the war, as the thunder and lightning in the sky fell, the charge of the light cavalry had also begun, and the long knives in their hands were raised, ready to give the opponent a heavy blow when they approached.
At this time, something unexpected happened, more than a dozen hanging flags were erected inside the camp tent, this kind of upside-down triangular hanging flags were depicted with simple and rough patterns, similar to the sound of roaring in the camp behind the werewolves, almost the red light on the flags of colleagues.
The dark clouds that had been condensed in the sky suddenly dissipated without a trace, and the light cavalry charging forward found in horror that the werewolves on the opposite side had discarded their shields and rushed towards them with their long swords, and the werewolves without shields were undoubtedly the targets of javelins and bows and arrows.
But now these light cavalry have no time to change their weapons, and the horses can't contain their momentum because of the inertia of the impact, but the werewolf in front of them has already given up the protective shield, and rushed up with a long sword.
I don't know who started the head, the werewolf who rushed to the front howled in the sky, all the werewolves who charged were running wildly, and let out a terrible howl, and for a time the momentum on the battlefield was actually overwhelmed by the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, after all, horses are extremely afraid of fierce beasts such as tigers and wolves in nature.
Even if it is well-trained, but many war horses still can't stand the fright and stand up, the formation is suddenly chaotic, at this time the werewolf has rushed to the front, the length and width of the long sword is almost equivalent to the human spear, where it is waved straight up and down, many knights and even people and horses are cut off by a sword.
Behind the battle formation, the commander of the legion saw the battle situation in the field, his eyebrows jumped, obviously he didn't expect that the other party still had such a means, and he could actually restrain magic, and now his light cavalry has suffered a lot of losses, but the advantage of light cavalry is that it is scattered and easy to recover.
Although the cavalry in front of them was in a mess, the cavalry behind them quickly adjusted their weapons, and the javelins and spears poured back on the heads of the attacking werewolves, and the werewolves' eyes were already beginning to turn red, and both speed and protection had been greatly strengthened.
In the face of this deadly javelin and arrow rain, they let out a heart-rending roar and still charged forward, and now their speed was much faster than just now, and the javelins and archers of the human light cavalry could not even fire the second theory, and the werewolves had already rushed to the front.
On the other hand, the light cavalry had long been prepared, for they had been said to deal with the barbarians in the past, but after the madness, the bows and javelins could no longer hinder their movement, and at the sound of a whistle, the archers and javelinmen turned their horses.
Divided into two teams and retreated to both sides, the cavalry behind them had already dismounted, holding a small chain hammer or axe in their hands, and shouted in unison, and after spinning a few times, they threw it out of their hands, no matter how strong this heavy weapon was, it would not be able to defend it.
This is the method used by the troops of the Drew Empire to attack the heavy infantry, and the momentum of the werewolves rushing forward can no longer be contained, so they collided with it so hard, and suddenly there was a miserable howl and fell to the ground, this wave of impact was finally suppressed, and the red light in the werewolves' eyes was dimmed a lot.
The light cavalry on both sides had already turned around and killed with weapons, and the thousands of people who rushed out of the werewolf were immediately separated by the cavalry and the brigade behind, the werewolf was more than two meters tall, and the height of the light cavalry plus the horses was slightly higher than these orcs.
However, the human cavalry is better than the well-armed and skillful coordination, although the individual quality of the werewolves far exceeds that of humans, but on the battlefield, a werewolf is just about to roar and rush to the cavalry who stabbed himself, but the head is cut off by the long knife behind.
Or the werewolf was just about to cut down the knight in front of him, and the chain hammer behind him was entangled, and several soldiers quickly came over and cut it down, and the werewolves could be seen gradually decreasing in the battlefield, and the werewolves who were divided were constantly attacking the light cavalry line on the periphery.
But those light cavalry dismounted one after another, raised the spears in their hands to form a formation, and let those mounts run wildly, which invisibly made the werewolves begin to mess up, and the spear line on the opposite side seemed to be like a hedgehog, and they couldn't find a place to start, and they couldn't attack.
The key on the big battlefield is how to make their troop consumption less than the opponent's consumption, so that as time progresses, the victory and defeat are naturally divided, and the werewolf tent began to sound a whining horn, hearing this sound, those werewolves who were rushing and preparing to rescue their comrades trapped in the formation retreated one after another.
The legion commander who watched the battle situation secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he ate the werewolves trapped inside, then he should be able to break through the opponent's position by relying on the impact of heavy cavalry and the assistance of light cavalry, but then he grew his mouth, and the werewolves who retreated like a tide scattered.
In the camp, several giants of more than six meters suddenly stood up, holding huge stones in their hands, let out a deafening roar, and threw the huge stones in their hands towards the soldiers who dismounted from the formation with spears, and the rocks smashed into the air with a whistling sound.
It was already a little too late to dodge, and the soldiers who were in the brunt were smashed into pulp without even screaming, and the werewolves who were strangled in the inner circle had already formed a team, and when they saw that there was a gap in the outer encirclement, they immediately rushed there.
For a while, the circle of the chaotic dismounted cavalry was suddenly dispersed, and the two teams of werewolves suddenly converged, and the giants standing in the werewolf camp smashed the big stones in their hands one after another.
But the two sides returned to the situation before the stalemate, and the heavy infantry in the barracks began to gradually converge towards the position outside, Prince Fanst's mood began to be a little heavy, but he didn't think too much, he also walked down the watchtower with the weapon in his hand.
The Drew Empire has been established for hundreds of years, the emperor and the prince have been trained on the battlefield, and the legion commander outside saw the neatly lined up heavy cavalry queue, and calculated a little in his heart, before the opponent's boulder was thrown over, he should be able to attack, I don't know when, a priest has come to the side of the legion leader, and said softly:
"The high priest said that he could block the boulder throws of those giants, and the heavy cavalry could launch an assault. ”
The legion commander glanced at the side gratefully, drew the long sword in his hand and slashed it downward, and after the herald on the side saw it, he hurriedly waved the order flag, and the rumbling sound sounded, and the ground had already begun to shake, and there were only 1,500 heavy cavalry.
But the intensity of their attack was even greater than that of the light cavalry, which was ten times their size, and the giants on the other side howled loudly when they saw the movement of the heavy cavalry, and lifted the boulder from the ground, ready to start throwing it, and they did not notice the slow march of the heavy cavalry.
There were already a few people dressed differently mixed in, these people were not wearing heavy armor, just light leather armor, and they were holding huge bows and arrows in their hands, as they approached step by step, the brilliance of the fighting spirit slowly rose on these people's bodies, and they became brighter and brighter.
The huge bow and arrow were also slowly pulled away by them, and the brilliance of the fighting spirit became brighter and brighter, and slowly the brilliance was gathered on the top of the bow and arrow, but the orcs on the opposite side did not notice this, because these brilliance had been covered by the light reflected by the armor, and the giants laughed and lifted the big stone, and threw it out when the other party got closer.
The sound of 'buzz' and 'buzz' began to sound, and several dazzling rays of light appeared on the position and slid by in an instant, and several giants who lifted the boulder looked at the arrow feathers that had already sunk into their chests in disbelief, and fell backwards, and the heavy cavalry had begun to slowly trot.
Even if it was the last time to adjust the front of the impact, the light cavalry behind was already following behind as a whole team, and all kinds of heavy infantry were mobilized in turn.
The fall of the giant put great pressure on the werewolves, and the formation was also a little chaotic, the distance between the two sides was less than three hundred meters, the charging distance of the heavy cavalry was two hundred meters, and the commander of the legion was the arrow of the heavy cavalry, looking at the other party's queue a little scattered, everyone leaned on the shoulder of the impact spear for the sake of the formation.
Only the steel spear in the hand of the legion commander was erected straight, quite conspicuous in the array, the legion commander shouted, put the spear in his hand flat, everyone immediately knew that the charge had begun, the warriors in the front row immediately flattened the spear, and shouted in unison to speed up the horses.
Rushing towards the werewolves in front, they didn't notice that the werewolf formation in front of them was not so scattered, but became extremely neat, watching the cavalry about to rush in front of their eyes, the werewolves in front of them turned their bodies and ran towards the back, but this run was not a rout.
