Chapter 42: Wasser!
By the time Wayne was running for his life, the Imperial Army had already made contact with Stuyard. At a terrible cost, the Imperial army passed through a death zone of two hundred meters.
And the last 50 meters are especially tragic.
The elven crossbow can penetrate several people through the shield at this distance. Not only did it bring psychological pressure, but what was worse was the disruptive formation.
At the moment when the formation was destroyed, the Imperial army was exposed without shield cover and wearing a layer of armor.
And at this distance, except for Nolan's steel armor and dwarven scale armor, other armor can't resist elven bows and arrows.
The elves also seized the moment, and fired their bows and arrows, and many more soldiers fell.
As the distance approached, the elven heavy cavalry began to charge, and the Imperial army immediately drew their spears.
The military formation, which was originally composed of shields, was suddenly covered with spears.
The sharp spearhead flickered with a cold light, a greeting from death.
The cavalry charged at a distance of less than thirty meters, and the mass of one horse could weigh more than 1,500 catties.
Accompanied by the flight of the horse's legs, the huge mass accelerated to a speed of 60 kilometers per hour at a distance of 100 meters along the path that the archers gave way.
The tremendous kinetic energy snapped the spear and slammed straight into the shield full of arrows.
And the shield can't cancel out the kinetic energy, the soldiers behind are, and the huge kinetic energy ultimately needs flesh and blood to counteract.
The cavalry is the battle formation that came to charge the marchers!
The distance that had been advanced with great difficulty was suddenly pressed back again.
The only good thing is that the elves are not good at horsemanship, which results in the Stuyard cavalry being far fewer than Rune.
Therefore, after the elves charged in one wave, they were powerless to continue the next wave.
The main cavalry was distributed on both sides, beware of Rune's cavalry. Prevent yesterday's events from happening again, no matter what was sent. All have to be stopped.
Having the enemy deliver a message right under your nose is a great blow to morale. What's more, you don't know what message you're sending yet.
Philip watched Wayne's cavalry rush straight towards Simon, clutching his hands hidden in his wide-sleeved robes, but could do nothing.
Now they were engaged in a frontal battle with the Rune army, and the other armies were surrounding Vasser in the other three directions, and there was no time to move over.
Moreover, this cavalry is absolutely elite, and the top cavalry regiment of Stuyard cannot compare with it.
That kind of indomitable and fearless momentum is difficult to polish.
A cavalry of 2,000 men was like a knife, and it was forced to break a way, as seen from Philip. This cavalry separated the army of 20,000 from the main army.
That's what a cavalry should look like.
Willier's heart pounded as he watched the cavalry get closer and closer.
For fear that something would happen to Wayne, wait for the cavalry to rush to the vacuum between the elves and Vasser.
Willier immediately ordered the city gates to be opened.
Two gates, weighing several pounds, creaked open.
Wayne could feel it at this time, the troops had turned around, and there was much less fighting in front of them. I probably knew where I was and breathed a sigh of relief.
When the first cavalry arrived, the gates were opened to the maximum.
But even so, in the face of this force of only a thousand people, it seems small.
But this seemed to be difficult for the Iron Shield Legion, which did not lose its speed at all, and formed a conical charging formation. As if by magic, I entered through the gate, which was only five or six meters wide.
There is a word among the people to describe this incredible entry into the city, smooth!
Seeing that the mission was successful, Mars hurriedly beat the drum and withdrew his troops, and if the fight continued like this, the decisive battle would begin.
When the soldiers in front heard the sound of the drums, they didn't care about the knives stuck in the enemy's bodies, and they ran away.
This is the order given by the Shangguan yesterday, don't care about anything when you hear the sound of retreat, run as fast as you can.
In order to cover the retreat of the main army, the cavalry on the left flank crossed the battlefield to prevent the elves from forming a formation to cause damage to the retreating infantry.
This cavalry is estimated to be the private army of a certain nobleman, and its combat effectiveness is obviously inferior to that of the Iron Shield Legion, and as soon as it rushes through the camp of the elves, the speed slows down.
However, they fled quite quickly, and were not knocked down by the bows and arrows of the elves who reacted.
The fleeing soldiers fled back to the barracks from the gap between the 100,000 reserve legions.
The elves saw that the Imperial Army, which had just not entered the battle and was in high spirits, could not bargain. And he withdrew.
Mars was very satisfied with today's actions, but when he saw that some of the nobles' generals were pale, he knew that he would have to go back and comfort them again.
There's no way, who said that the infantry who rushed to the front today is their family.
When the gates were slammed shut, Willier immediately ran down and waited anxiously beside the Iron Shield Legion, where the smell of blood had not yet dissipated.
Otero, lord of Vasser, and al-Mansur, commander of the city's defenses. I rushed over too.
Wayne, with the help of his soldiers, shed a heavy armor.
I was soaking wet, as if I had been fished out of water, and there was a smell of sweat.
The smell of sweat mixed with the smell of blood, and the two heavy flavors mixed together, stimulating the tip of Wayne's pen.
Wait for Wayne to come out and vomit~!
The smell was so unpleasant that he was used to the smell of blood in Helan. But there was a strong smell of sweat here, and after smelling it, I felt nausea in my chest and my stomach cramped. Spit out the bread that filled the hunger in the morning.
When Willier and his party saw the clothes with the eagle logo, they knew it was Wayne.
It's also dry and compact, and there is a strong and indescribable smell!
And Wayne also vomited in front of them, and the city lord Otero, who had never been on the battlefield, also vomited with him.
Mansur and Willier were just a little disgusting, but they were battle-hardened people after all, and they didn't react as much as Otero.
Wayne left a deep impression on the three of them as soon as he came up, a bad influence!
The three of them didn't say anything long-winded, and directly asked someone to take Wayne to the mansion that had been prepared a long time ago to wash.
After all, the smell of sweat was too big for the three of them to talk to Wayne about anything.
Wait for Wayne to take a shower and get dressed.
It's really comfortable, equivalent to a hot shower after a strenuous workout! Not to mention how refreshing it tastes.
The three of Willier waited in the living room for a long time when they saw Wayne, whose hair had not yet dried, come to greet them.
Quickly stand up!
Wayne reached out habitually.
Three inside.
Willier wondered, and this way of greeting?
Mansur wondered, this is the correct aristocratic etiquette?
Otero despises, barbarians who do not know etiquette!
But they didn't express it, after all, at their age, they are all old foxes, and being moody is the basic skill.
Willier reached out first.
"You're General Willier?"
"Yes. If you can make Master Wayne remember, it seems that I am also famous. ”
Willier smiled politely.
Wayne didn't pat the horse back.
Next!
Wayne didn't say a name.
Mansour reacted.
"I am Mansour, the commander of the defense of Vasser. ”
"General's demeanor!"
Wayne said subconsciously.
When Mansur heard this, he took a closer look. Suddenly a little happy, this sycophant shot in place.
Wayne reacted and slipped out of his mouth the words of another world!
