Chapter 517: Charging Array (2)
Don't look at Luo Ming and Granty entangled in Cangyan, majestic, in fact, if these Cangyan are used to burn the approaching enemy troops, they will burn more than twenty at most, and the total number of the two will not exceed fifty.
Although Belan had lost some in today's battle, there were still about eight or nine thousand people, and a little finger could be used to exhaust this bit of Cangyan.
But only if the Beran soldiers are willing to harden it.
At first, the morale of the Belan soldiers was very good, and they might even dare to go up.
But with the battle of today's day, they couldn't attack for a long time, they were tired, and several new weapons and water attack tactics suddenly appeared on Luo Ming's side, which had already lowered their morale a lot.
Of course, it is still stronger than the barely cobbled together Vansey County coalition army, but on the whole it is much worse than in the morning.
Occasionally, brave soldiers or officers rushed over and were killed by the two outrageously long riding spears in the hands of Luo Ming and Granty, or they were burned to death by Cang Yan, so most of the soldiers preferred to bypass them.
Anyway, it's just two knights, even if they make way, it won't make the whole front collapse, and the friendly troops and generals in the rear will definitely find a way, but I won't send the soldiers to death - such thoughts immediately spread in the hearts of the soldiers.
It would be to say that there is no sense of honor or shame, but it is obviously difficult for such a little psychological factor to overcome the instinct to survive.
This is also what Luo Ming confirmed through this day's observation - the soldiers of the Beran Federation are relatively less disciplined and obedient.
The Commonwealth of Beran is not a very centralized state, as its name suggests.
The Confederation is actually composed of a kingdom, three principalities, and a small princely state, which is not much larger than the Duchy of Lothar, but there are many kinds of tricks in it.
The level of centralization of power in these components themselves is not high, and the king is elected through the noble council, and the first task is to maintain the rights of the nobles, so it is unlikely to harm the interests of the nobles to carry out even a little centralization.
There are even three different main languages within the Federation, or three dialects that are very different.
Although their soldiers were of good personal qualities, the infantry rarely had the opportunity to practice large regiment combat, and there were shortcomings in coordination and discipline.
Usually they don't show anything, they can overwhelm ordinary soldiers just by relying on the quality and momentum of individual soldiers, and when dealing with elites, they will also take out their elite cavalry to fight-for-tat.
But at this moment, there are basically only Beran infantry on the entire battlefield, and the shortcomings are completely exposed in front of Luo Ming.
For a while, the two of them rode their horses and walked briskly, crossing more than fifty meters, and they were about to set foot on the creek - the Belan army filled the creek, which was just right for them at this moment.
During this period, it was almost like entering a no-man's land, and there were only five people in total who stepped forward to stop them, and they were almost killed as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.
Although some soldiers tried to shoot arrows at the two of them from a distance, Luo Ming tested that Cang Yan himself could burn the wooden poles of the arrows, causing the arrows to deviate from the direction and greatly reduce their lethality.
Now that the two men and the two horses were covered in armor, the arrows that had deviated would not be able to break through the defenses. It just made a metal crash and then fell to the ground.
Of course, the impact of the arrow itself is not small, but with the armor buffer, the war horse can withstand it for a while, and the two of them are not afraid of this strength as swordsmen.
"Mage, use the water of the stream to restrain the fire!" Vytautas hurriedly roared.
Although he is only a lieutenant general, which is a bit overstepping, he believes that as long as he can take down those two strong enemies, he will not be blamed for doing so.
The mages on one side were still struggling with what spells to use, considering whether it would be possible for the soldiers to overcome their fears and rush forward if they relied on spells to increase morale. When I heard this suggestion at this moment, I realized it.
Luo Ming felt a wave of mana fall nearby, and immediately after, a large stream the size of an oven suddenly levitated, and immediately smashed towards him.
This is not a wrong approach, after all, water and fire restrain each other, and even if all kinds of magic flames come into contact with enough water, they will generally be weakened.
Water can block oxygen, and at the same time, the evaporation of water can also take away the heat of the flame, although Luo Ming's cangyan can burn without consuming oxygen, its energy is limited, and a little heat will be lost if it is taken away.
This large mass of water was quickly evaporated by Cang Yan, turning into a large cloud of water vapor and drifting away, almost not a drop fell on Luo Ming, but Cang Yan also became much smaller.
After all, even in this world of magic and magic, everything still obeys the conservation of energy.
Just when Vytautas was happy, he saw the cangyan beside Luo Ming swell again, quickly returning to its original appearance.
Some of the materials used by Belan's army to fill the creek were corpses, and Luo Ming just burned them for use, and he could immediately replenish the part of Cangyan that had just been consumed.
If it is the corpses of the Belan soldiers who are burned, Luo Ming will only feel happy, even if it is the corpses of civilians who have been driven to fill the ravine, at least Luo Ming can use their "relics" to take revenge on the Belan army that killed them after their death.
Luo Ming himself actually believes that "the revenge of the tenth world can still be avenged", of course, this does not mean that he is a reckless man, if he does not have enough strength, he will naturally accumulate strength silently and wait for the opportunity, but if the strength is enough, if he does not take revenge, will he still keep the enemy and wait for the New Year?
Even if the ghosts of the dead appeared in front of him, he would not feel the slightest bit of regret.
"What the hell is this guy doing!" Vytautas couldn't help but bite his nails, and his face began to twist and deform.
"Calm down, lad. The commander of the Belan army patted him on the shoulder, then looked at Luo Ming and sneered, "The two horsemen still want to charge the battle, is it too simple to think of Belan?"
With a wave of his hand, he gave a new order.
In the next instant, two groups of Belan cavalry rushed out.
Although the cavalry could not storm the fortifications and had to wait for the infantry to prepare for the front station, on the other hand, the cavalry could be fully powerful on the flat ground on the side of the creek.
And he also saw that the equestrian skills of the man led by the other party were actually average, and he could not compare with the skilled Beran cavalry at all.
Although the equestrian skills of the person next to the other party are very good, if his companion is knocked down, he is the only one left (Grant is wearing a helmet and has a cangyan obscuring his vision, so he can't tell that she is a girl for a while), his fists are difficult to beat with four hands, and the threat will be greatly reduced.
Besides, you have a magic flame, don't we Belan lack mages?
