Chapter 492: Decapitation Tactics
Marquis Bennett watched with a gloomy face as the Grand Knight Captain galloped towards the battlefield in the distance with his personal guard knights, and in his heart, this Fenelope Knight was already a dead man. As the only son of the Bennett family www.biquge.info Cameron Bennett has been favored since he was a child, and since his sister Stephanie Bennett was elected queen, Cameron Bennett has received the attention and favor of His Majesty the Emperor, which has also made him more and more arrogant and domineering.
Fenelope dared to scold Marquis Bennett in front of many people, how could the petty and short-breathed Marquis Bennett endure it? Even if Fenelope had followed His Majesty the current Emperor for many years, so what? Even if he was only a martial artist no matter how brilliant his military exploits were, how could he withstand the wind on his pillow?
In fact, Fenelope, who killed the Spartan Heavy Legion, was not sure that he would be able to kill the enemy general, but as the Grand Knight Captain of the Paris Empire, the commander of all the Imperial Knights, he just watched the Legion of Courage collapse and watch the last glimmer of hope of the Empire disappear, which was unacceptable to Fenelope, who was loyal to the Paris Empire.
The sudden rumbling of horses' hooves from one side of the battlefield alerted the Spartan hoplites. The Spartan Legion, which was originally attacking from the skirmish, was surrounded by the other two enemy armies, so it formed a formation to encircle the Legion of Courage, and if the enemy appeared from one side at this time, the Spartan soldiers there would be in a dilemma of being attacked on their backs.
But after all, it was a battle-hardened fighting nation, and almost as soon as he noticed the approach of cavalry, the military commander of the Spartan warriors, Strios, immediately made a decision, and he shouted: "Formation! Resist the cavalry onslaught!"
I saw that the Spartan warriors in the melee formed a circle formation one after another, and more than a dozen warriors formed a group back to back, forming a circle formation with the round shields in their hands to the periphery, and the spears in their hands poked out from the gaps in the corners of the shields, looking like round hedgehogs appeared on the battlefield from a distance.
Thanks to the defensive posture of the Spartan warriors, the Legionnaires of Courage who were close to the direction of the command camp were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Those fierce hoplites brought these brave legionnaires not only fighting, but also the attitude of those hoplites who regarded life and death as nothing and the tense pressure of their companions who kept falling, which made the brave legionnaires almost breathless.
When Fenelope arrived at the battlefield, the first thing that caught his eye was the hedgehog round formation that was waiting for him. Fenelope, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to raid from behind, couldn't help but sigh secretly, these soldiers were proud of the neat formation in a short period of time, I really don't know how they were trained, who can have such a great ability to train such an elite?
However, the main purpose of Fenelope's trip was not to these ordinary soldiers, and since they had taken precautions, Fenelope would not fight them to the death. With a slight lift of his left foot on the horse's belly, the horse made a circle and turned to the left, bypassing the circle of the Spartan warriors and rushing in the direction of Leo.
"Alert! Enemy cavalry charge!Pay attention to the cavalry behind you!" The Spartan warriors' warnings continued to come from far to near, and after hearing the warnings, the two Spartan warriors who were responsible for guarding Leo hurriedly greeted their companions around them, and then the two of them pulled Leo back, who was killing him, and formed a circle with the surrounding Spartan warriors to protect Leo's regiment.
If in the midst of the chaotic army, it would take a lot of effort for Fenelope to find Leo, but the subconscious defensive behavior of the two Spartan warriors made Fenelope immediately lock Leo's position, after all, among the circle guards of a group of heavily armed warriors, Leo dressed in a noble hunting costume was particularly conspicuous.
After seeing Leo, Fenelope couldn't help but snort softly, blinked vigorously and looked intently, and found that it was the Grand Duke of Pritz among the soldiers. This discovery made Fenelope's heart hot, and he didn't expect that the Grand Duke of Pritz would be the first to rush to the front line, this was a golden opportunity, if he could use the decapitation tactic to kill the Grand Duke of Pritz, then the crisis of the empire could be solved in one fell swoop.
With his right arm tightly gripping the end of the knight's spear in his hand, the Grand Knight Captain Fenelope rushed to Leo's Spartan circle, followed by the knights behind him.
Seeing the enemy army rushing straight towards Leo's location, those Spartan soldiers knew that the enemy's target must be the Grand Duke Leo, and several shield arrays around them immediately dispersed, some of the Spartan soldiers held the round shields in their hands to warn the soldiers of the Legion of Courage, and the other part of the Spartan soldiers leaned back slightly, pulled their right hands back, and then threw the spears in their hands towards the knights.
The all-metal spear was thrown by the strange force of the Spartan warriors, with a terrible whistling sound to pierce the knights, and a popping sound was heard, even the full knight armor could not stop the power of the spear, many knights were pierced and fell off their horses, and for a while, the charging knights turned into a mess on their backs.
The chief knight of the Great Knight, who had been watching and listening to all directions, bowed down the moment the spear was thrown, and the whole person was lying on the back of the horse, successfully dodging this wave of spear throwing. The short distance was swiftly approached by the gallop of the warhorse, and Fenelope did not slow down before he came to the circle, and just rode his horse into it.
The sharp spear was accurately pointed at a shield directly in front of it, and the powerful force knocked the Spartan warrior behind the shield into the air, and before the warrior next to him could react, the war horse had already collided.
The warriors who made a decisive decision all stabbed their horses to death, but Fenelope on horseback had already jumped high with the impact of his horses, leaped into the Spartan circle from the air, and swooped straight to Leo in the center.
Before Fenelope could land, spears appeared like a dense forest where he landed, and in mid-air, Fenelope drew his knight's sword, swirled on the shaft of the spear, and the spear made of fine iron was neatly cut off.
The startled Spartan warrior subconsciously withdrew his spear, allowing Fenelope to fall steadily into the circle, and a knight's sword pointed directly at Leo's neck and stabbed it.
However, Leo naturally did not sit still, knowing that the knight's sword in Fenelope's hand was probably a divine weapon, so Leo did not block, but used the sticky word trick to put the long sword in his hand on the back of Fenelope's knight's sword, bringing his sword momentum to the side.
