Chapter 64: The King's Charge

On the hillside not far from the battlefield, King Ma Shen was sitting on the black rabbit, looking at the situation on the battlefield, behind him, a large number of brave cavalry stood with serious expressions, silent, only the sneezes of some horses indicated that there were nearly 1,000 cavalry here had not yet joined the battlefield.

Since its founding, the Stormwind Kingdom has been in a state of lack of horses, and there is no suitable place to raise horses throughout the entire realm, even if the Stormwind Kingdom is close to the savannah.

The steppes are the territory of the Dothraki, and in order to obtain horses from the Dothraki, the first thing to do is to eliminate the biggest obstacle: Dzekokao.

This is also one of the causes of the war between the Stormwind Kingdom and the Dzeko tribe.

At the same time, the lack of cavalry also put the Stormwind Kingdom in a certain weak position in the war with the Dothraki.

Infantry can defeat or eliminate some cavalry, but two legs can never catch up with four legs, and more than half of the Dothraki can calmly withdraw from the battlefield, so cavalry is indispensable in order to truly defeat these Dothraki cavalry.

So the 200 king's guards behind him, 800 ordinary cavalry, a total of 1,000 cavalry, they will be the decisive factor in this battlefield.

Ma Shen sat on the black rabbit and calmly watched the situation on the battlefield.

Half an hour earlier, before the official decisive battle between the two armies, he had led all his cavalry to this remote position, and it would have been difficult for the Dothraki cavalry to detect their presence without entering the two low hills on the right.

During this time, he watched as the shouting cavalry rushed into the neat array of infantry, like a giant ant colony in the forest, and wherever they went, they were instantly covered with the yellow of death.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of black soldiers disappeared into the vast yellow, and the Dothraki cavalry dressed in yellow stepped on their corpses and poured in like a tide, and then... Stalled.

The Dothraki cavalry in front of the charge were close to the infantry, and the front were almost about to rush to the center of the infantry camp, but under the heroic counterattack of the infantry, they fell into the mud of the infantry camp, and were in an embarrassing situation where they wanted to rush but could not rush, and they could not retreat.

The Dothraki cavalry in the second half was also very embarrassed, they brandished their scimitars, trying to drink the blood of the enemy, but found that all the cavalry in front of them were their own cavalry, and these cowards actually slowed down, causing them to slow down and finally jam together.

"Your Majesty, allow me to lead the charge and lay the heads of my enemies before you. The knight of Essoda, dressed in armor with a pattern of gold and wood, rode up to Ma Shen's side and whispered a little worriedly.

In the world of ice and fire, no matter which continent there is, there is a tradition of advocating personal bravery, and it is not uncommon for kings to take the lead in charging, but some have become heroes, and a few unlucky ones have died directly on the battlefield, and in the end they can only inherit the throne by the heirs of the family.

"Do your job, Knight Essoda. Ma Shen said in a calm tone, "I will give you my back." ”

"You won't be disappointed. Essoda sat down on his horse and bowed slightly, then straightened up, and his waist became straighter.

Then, "Qiang" Ma Shen pulled out the Red Slaughter Sword at his waist, and the smooth blade was raised towards the sky, and a drop of rain fell on the blade of the sword, shattering into countless pieces.

Seeing this action, the cavalrymen silently picked up their spears, and their breathing became short, they knew that it was about to be their time to play.

Tick, tick, tick, drop by drop rain fell on the carefully crafted armor of the craftsmen.

Suddenly, the Red Slaughter Sword in Ma Shen's hand swung down hard, the sound of scattered horse hooves sounded, and at the corner of the hillside, more than a thousand cavalrymen slowly advanced, slow walking turned into a trot, and a small trot turned into a fast run.

Ma Shen, who rushed to the front of the team, suddenly pointed forward the moment the war horse crossed the dirt slope: "Fight for freedom!"

"Fight for freedom!!"

Shouting slogans, a thousand cavalry rushed like a tidal wave in the direction of the right flank of the Dothraki army!

At the forefront were the elite King's Guards, who were dressed in intricate and elaborate knightly armor, with knightly scimitars hanging from their waists, holding a charging knight's spear in their right hand and a spear with a black and shiny top in their left hand.

The well-trained King's Guard was able to use spears for pre-battle attacks, mounted spears for group charges, and scimitars for skirmishes and large-scale dogfights.

As for the ordinary cavalry behind, they were not so strong, they all carried mounted spears in their right hands, and each of them was equipped with a scimitar similar to the Dothraki scimitar at his waist.

The deafening sound of horses' hooves echoed in his ears, and this time, Ma Shen personally led the cavalry regiment to launch a group charge!

Defensive Shield: A large area of magic that adds a layer of shield to allied soldiers within the range, and the effect is determined by the amount of energy consumed.

Knight's Blessing: A large-area magic that increases the strength, courage, and speed of your own soldiers within the range, and the effect is determined by the energy consumed.

Beast Aura: A large-area magic that increases the strength, speed, and stamina of your mounts within the range, and the effect is determined by the amount of energy consumed.

The three auras were directly centered on Ma Shen and spread out in all directions, surrounding each of the charging knights.

Each knight has three different colored halos under their feet.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!!"

"For the king!For freedom!!"

Under the shroud of the aura, the speed of the entire cavalry regiment charged a little faster.

The charge of a thousand knights was not small, and it soon attracted the attention of some Dothraki.

"Someone is coming from the east!" (Dothraki)

"Go and kill them!" (Dothraki)

"Come with me and kill them!!" (Dothraki)

Some Dothraki saw the cavalry rushing not far away, and in a panic, they tried to rein in their horses to avoid it.

There were also some Dothraki who were blocked behind when they saw the rushing cavalry, but they were not overjoyed, and wanted to turn their horses and engage these rushing enemies.

The whole team began to become more chaotic.

However, the speed of the cavalry charge was very fast, and it did not take long for the galloping horses to carry the cavalry into the enemy phalanx.

The Knights came in the blink of an eye.

"Chirp... The horses screamed.

The short, heavy spear struck a human body or a horse's body from a distance of several tens of meters, and blood gushed out.

After a round of spear throwing, Ma Shen led the knights directly into the crowd.

"Kill!" Ma Shen used his cavalry spear in his right hand to sweep away thousands of troops, and swept the two Dothraki cavalry companies in front of him into the sky with their horses.

In his left hand, he used the Red Slayer Sword in the next second to cut the two unresponsive Dothraki into two pieces.

In just 3 seconds, Ma Shen rushed more than 20 meters.

Behind him, the aura-blessed cavalry also burst into these stalled Dothraki cavalry at astonishing speed.

Countless black cavalry came in a row, and the Dothraki who were caught off guard and had no resistance at all.

Those who turned to flee were cut under their horses before they had run a few steps; those who tried to resist had just taken up their weapons, and the corpses of the cavalry had already been separated by a flash of cold light; and some of them were unable to dodge, and were knocked out by the galloping horses, and their sternums were fractured, their internal organs were ruptured, and their seven orifices were bleeding, and they lay on the ground for only a few minutes.

Not far behind Ma Shen, a Dothraki cavalryman, known for his strength, was directly shot down by a blessed ordinary cavalryman, and then his head was cut off by the next cavalry who rushed by.

At this time, the advantage of the charging cavalry was completely displayed, and the knights lined up in an extremely dense formation.

The entire cavalry phalanx was like an entity, directly inserting into the hinterland of the loose formation of the Dothraki cavalry, and continued to rush forward, tearing apart the formation of the Dothraki cavalry.

The Red Slaughter Sword continued to swing, and the blessing of strategic magic made Ma Shen's cavalry regiment rush from the right side of the Dothraki cavalry to the left side, and the whole situation was like a solid ball cannonball fired by artillery, mercilessly plowing through the ranks of the enemy army, and paving a bloody path.

But in a short moment, the entire army of Dothraki had boiled like boiling water, and everywhere there were rampaging cavalry, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves and the screams of his companions was deafening, even against the wind, and the thick smell of blood still made people sick.

"Recoil back!" Ma Shen, who was covered in blood, didn't even look back to see how many enemy cavalry had been killed or wounded, and after breaking through the enemy army, he directly took the knights around in a small circle, and once again rushed into the Dothraki cavalry.
