Chapter 519: Charging Array (4)
Then, Lormine and Grant did the same, and knocked down several cavalrymen in succession.
Seeing that two more groups of cavalry were coming, Lormine and Granty did not like to fight, turned their horses' heads and avoided them and rushed to the side.
After all, the opponent is somewhat defensive against the grenade and the combat power on his side, and he can't expect the strategy just now to succeed again.
To be honest, although this kind of heavy cavalry is expensive, it does have combat effectiveness worthy of its value.
Unless faced with an orderly phalanx, hoplites can easily win against infantry with a single charge.
And for a master like Luo Ming, cavalry is much more difficult to deal with than simple infantry.
A few cavalry alone are not a threat in front of the masters, but when the number of cavalry is large, it is difficult for even the masters to deal with them when they rush at high speed.
Each cavalryman, with its men and horses, has tremendous kinetic energy. Even if he is a great sword master, he is a mortal body. Unless it takes a lot of fighting energy to open the field to resist, it is likely to be injured if it collides head-on with the galloping horse, and you must dodge and attack at the same time.
And even if one or two cavalry were defeated, more cavalry would rush in the blink of an eye, as if they were fleshy cannonballs.
Even the cultist "Bishop", who had the cultivation of a great sword master, attacked from the flank when dealing with the count's sixty or so cavalry.
Although Luo Ming has a lot of hole cards, even now, if he is allowed to go head-to-head with the bishop, the chance of winning is still less than fifty percent.
On that flank, there was a group of Belan soldiers who were resting, and Luo Ming could tell from their state that they had rushed through the coalition line a little earlier, and they had been unable to attack for a long time, and there were many casualties, and they withdrew tiredly.
If they were given some time to recuperate, they would be able to return to a state ready to go into battle, but since Luo Ming was already here, he wouldn't allow them to do so.
Watching two knights with flames wrapped around their bodies kill them, no infantry would feel easy, and these Beran soldiers who had only been frustrated in front of the coalition were even more terrified.
It was not Lomin's turn and Granty to kill, and as soon as they approached, the soldiers themselves immediately began to run away, even if the officers among them tried desperately to stop them, it was almost futile.
What's more, Luo Ming had specifically told his musketeers to attack the officers before—that is, to set fire to those who commanded others, gave orders, and were brightly dressed, and there were not many officers who could be withdrawn.
Seriously, since he brought the soldiers for several years, Luo Ming felt that killing and injuring one grassroots officer was much more useful than killing and injuring ten ordinary soldiers.
Of course, if you bombard and kill hundreds of people at once, even if they are ordinary soldiers, it may directly scare the other party into demoralization.
But if this is not possible, then killing the officer is still the best option.
After all, apart from Luo Ming, few armies have a mature military rank promotion system and shadow officer cultivation strategy this year.
In the general army, if there is one less officer who dies, even if you temporarily find someone to replenish it, it is overstretched, and if you have not practiced in advance, there will be a lot of estrangement between the temporarily replaced officers and their subordinates.
If too many officers die, the entire army will become a plate of scattered sand, and when the time comes, it will be empty, dull and clumsy in actual fighting, and demoralized, and it will not be able to exert one-third of its combat effectiveness, and it will almost be kneaded by others.
In this way, Lormin and Grant drove the rout, and rushed to the next group of Beran's army.
That group of Beran troops is still a new force that has not been played, or has been repaired after retreating, and if it appears in front of the coalition defense line, it will definitely cause more trouble for the coalition army.
However, seeing a large number of routs rushing towards them, they were also at a loss for a moment.
If it were an enemy army, or even an innocent civilian, they would be able to immediately wave their weapons.
But those are their own allies, and although they may not have any comradeship, the very act of attacking a friendly soldier is enough to make any normal soldier hesitate for a moment.
Although the officers among them reacted quickly, yelling at them to slash along with the routs of their allies, it was too late.
Many of the routs had rushed into them, disrupting their barely formed formation, and at the same time, spreading panic.
At this time, Grandi was in front, she stretched out her riding spear and stabbed a few times, killing and injuring several soldiers, and at the same time, the Cang Yan wrapped around the war horse also burned to two or three people, and the wails came and went, which immediately completely disintegrated the formation that barely maintained a stable position.
At this time, although some of the routs fled to the left and right to avoid the collapse tide, many people in this Bellen army also joined the tide, so the number of routs driven by Lockin and Grant became even more.
If it snowballs like this, maybe it will be able to rush a few more times, and rely on the chain reaction to throw hundreds of Beran troops into chaos.
But unless the top brass of the Belan Army are all dead, there will be no such beautiful thing.
Initially, Lormine and Grant were clinging to the rout, using them to cover themselves.
But now, the intention of the two has been completely exposed, that is, to rely on the impact of the rout to cause a chain collapse - then, presumably, the top of the Belan army is already conscious and prepared, even if it misses and hits and kills some of their own soldiers, it is better than letting the two continue to act recklessly.
In the next instant, eight earthy yellow auras and six ominous emerald green rays shot towards the two of them together. At the same time, a few rays of light fell in the middle of the rout, which quickly stabilized their mood a little.
"Aya!" Luo Ming yelled in his heart.
"Leave it to me!"
In the face of this kind of spell, Aya didn't need to take the time to distinguish it, and she knew what it was at the first time.
The aura was a sluggish aura, and although the effect couldn't stack, the other party still threw eight of them together - just in case.
Even if Lormine and Grant had a way to cancel out or shatter a few of them, as long as there was even one aura left, it would still take effect, slowing them down.
And that green light is the debilitating ray that Luo Ming suffered a long time ago, one or two problems are not big, but if they are much more successful, even the body of a swordsman will fall into abnormal exhaustion.
And is the war horse under the two seats better able to carry than them? The answer is obviously no.
In other words, if you are hit, you will be in a very disadvantageous situation.
