Chapter 124: Defeat
The three famous legions and four famous generals of the Terran actually appeared in Grey Goose City at the same time!
With Suramir's "black vultures" alone, with whom Catherine was at war, she could gain the upper hand. Suramir, together with Gadar and the "Black Flag Army", Catherine recognized herself as resisting. But what she didn't expect the most was that Russell and his "Red Army" actually came, and appeared behind her without warning!
It was a 100,000-strong cavalry legion, not a regular legion dominated by infantry. The characteristic of the cavalry corps is that it is huge, and once it moves, the sound can be transmitted to a place more than ten miles away, and it is absolutely impossible to hide it. But such a cavalry legion appeared behind Catherine without warning, and then rushed forward while they were attacking the city.
The elves had no idea that there was such a big crisis hidden behind them!
The Redcoats are like ghosts. How the hell did they do it? Catherine couldn't figure it out, and she didn't have time to think about it.
The target of the group of red ghosts wrapped in the yellow sand was obviously the elven camp, Catherine hurriedly ran down from the watchtower, and Sylvia, who was also on the watchtower, was also taken down by her.
If you stay on the watchtower now, you will definitely die in a while.
"Defend, defend!" shouted Catherine. She was glad that she had listened to Sylvia's advice and left the Third Brigade here, and now she still had 20,000 people around her. If only one team is left behind, as before, I'm afraid it won't be long before they are chopped into meat sauce.
The elven soldiers belonging to the third brigade took a defensive posture and released the first wave of arrows towards the red-clothed army.
"Redcoat Army, charge! Don't stop!" Russell, who rushed to the front, shouted, waved the saber in his hand high, and rushed directly into the elven camp, cutting off the heads of two elves with just one sword.
All the attack power of the cavalry is in the speed of the war horse, and the heavy attack is not heavy defense, once someone blocks the momentum on the road, it is not so easy to rush again.
Russell knew that their biggest target was the group of nearly 300,000 elves who were stopped by the "Black Vulture" army and the Black Flag Army under the city of Gray Goose City, not the small 20,000 people in front of them. Once you are stopped by the other party here, although you can rely on the advantage of your own number of people to solve the other party in a short time, but the momentum is blocked, and the next combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced.
The "Red Army" must not waste its precious momentum on this group of remnants of the defeated generals.
"Charge! Keep rushing! Don't stop!"
It was a foolish thing to use infantry against cavalry. The third brigade of the elven "Sanssouci Flower" legion was unable to resist the momentum of the red-clothed army at all, and was soon surpassed by all, and during this period, the red-clothed army lost only more than 30 soldiers, but captured more than 200 elves, and the elven mage group in the rear was slaughtered.
In front of the battlefield, the elven legion was already surrounded by groups, and as a last resort, it had to break through to the rear where there were relatively few people.
I didn't run a few steps before I saw a group of riders running at great speed from a distance, and the red stars among them were dotted.
"Terran cavalry!"
The elven soldiers who ran at the front were so frightened that their eyes were about to pop out. The elves have cavalry, but they ride wolves. The Elven Wolf Rider only fights for the first time when the demons are fighting, and usually does not appear on the battlefield at all, and their number is not large, more than 10,000 people. There was a cavalry here, not a Terran cavalry, what else could it be?
"Redcoats, kill!"
A deafening shout of slaughter rang out, and the red-clad army rushed into the ranks of the fleeing elves.
Burst... Burst... Burst......
The sound of a knife entering the flesh rang out from time to time.
The elves are all in archery, and their melee ability is much weaker than shooting. The Terran cavalry specializes in swordsmanship, and this cavalry is also a well-known red-clothed army. Every sword of every cavalryman is accurate and steady, and if you are said to cut your neck, you will never be cut off your head.
For a while, the battlefield was full of elven heads and green blood spurting out, and screams and wails were endless.
In the elven camp, Sylvia looked anxiously at her own legion leader Catherine, who had just protected Catherine and killed two of the Red Coat's cavalry. The "Rose" that Gloomy gave her is really useful, heavy is a bit heavy, but whether it is blocking attacks or assassinations, it is extremely useful.
Catherine was half-kneeling with tears in her eyes.
This was probably the biggest defeat she had ever experienced in her military career, with less than 20,000 of the 300,000 troops now left with her, the mage regiment was wiped out, and the remaining soldiers were now trapped on the battlefield ahead.
The Redcoats almost ignored them and rushed over, not even looking in the eye. This is an insult to Catherine, who is not even as important as the more than 200,000 soldiers in the eyes of others. Yes, Russell led the team to harvest life, and compared to so many fresh souls, these people are really nothing to mention.
"My lord, my lord, let's get out of here, we can't save those soldiers. Sylvia reached out to pull Catherine up.
"It's over, it's all over, those soldiers, they're all lives, but they're gone. Catherine got up from the ground and said.
"My lord, people can't be resurrected from the dead, we will always make a comeback one day, let's go. Sylvia said.
"Let's go and pick it up, we still have more than 10,000 people to go, and we can save a little bit of it. Catherine said that she would lead her troops to help.
"My lord, we have so much left, let's go, don't let the brothers die again. Sylvia said, but her eyes were on Modi behind Catherine. Modi gave Sylvia a look, then slammed a palm at the back of Catherine's neck, and Catherine fainted.
"I'll lead the way, and we'll retreat. Modi said. At the critical moment, Modi is still very calm.
Sylvia nodded, and helped Catherine up and slung her back on her back.
The 3rd Brigade of the "Sanssouci Flower" Regiment, led by Interim Commander Modi, began to gradually withdraw.
On the wall of Grey Goose City, Suramir looked at the more than 10,000 elves who had fled in the distance and said, "The other commander has retreated, and it seems that the remaining elves below have been abandoned." ”
"If they don't withdraw, there's no way, just with that little bit of people, what do you think they can do, and it's a drop in the bucket to come over. Anne was still holding her tactical board, but there were two more big red letters underneath the battle plan above - complete victory.
