Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Battle of Valor (2)
Seeing that Kairim's White Frost Legion was about to be wiped out under the attack of the wind archers, a large group of infantry suddenly poured out from the mountains behind Kairim, judging from their attire, it should be Senate's men.
Seeing the scene in front of them, Roger and Lettoz almost unanimously began to move closer to each other, and at the same time released all the scouts at hand to prevent their flanks from being attacked by the enemy. After these 4,000 wind shooters joined forces, Roger and they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, after all, in addition to the mountains and forests in the east, the main terrain in this vicinity is still dominated by plains and hills, and the wind shooters occupy a certain advantage in terms of vision and mobility.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, but Roger couldn't bear it anymore, and after discussing it with Letoz, he decided to make a tentative attack first, so he gave the order to prepare to shoot. After receiving the order, the 1,500 archers of Roger's department jumped off the war horses in unison, and they followed the rules of the popular archers, after every 10 shooters dismounted, their war horses were handed over to one of their companions, and then the other 9 people would line up in a row to shoot, if they needed to maneuver and detour, then these 9 people could easily find their war horses as long as they turned their heads.
"Shoot the arrows!" When Roger gave the order to shoot, the Windrun Archers released their bowstrings and fired their sharp arrows at the opposite side. Suddenly, a "cloud" appeared in the sky, and the cloud slid towards the direction of the Kairim at great speed.
"Raise the shield, raise the shield!" came the sound of orders one after another from the opposite side, and then Roger could see the crowd of people on the opposite side, but suddenly turned up one shield after another, blocking the direction of the arrow's fall.
"Da Da! Da Da!" The dense and crisp sound of impact sounded continuously, and most of the arrows fired by the wind archers were shot at the shields of the warriors on the opposite side, and only a few of them entered through the gaps in the shields. After this round of shooting, the shield held high above their heads on the opposite side was still tight, and there were not many gaps, and it was obvious that their casualties were small.
Roger and Letoz glanced at each other, and the warriors on the opposite side were different from other armies in terms of equipment and discipline, and it was obvious that this was probably the main force of Senate. The two men quickly discussed, and soon released another magic signal to inform the following main forces, and then the wind archers of the Letoz division also dismounted and began to attack the enemy on the opposite side with bows and arrows.
Under the continuous shooting of the wind shooter, the Senate army on the opposite side finally suffered relatively large casualties, but at this time, a loud horn sounded on the side of the battlefield, and another Senate infantry unit appeared in the left front of the wind shooter, and in less than a minute, another unit appeared from the south side of the battlefield, that is, the right front of the wind shooter, and the three Senate troops formed an arc of a month and a half, faintly outflanking the wind shooter.
In the blink of an eye, the form on the battlefield was reversed, which was something that Roger and they did not expect, but fortunately, the popular shooters all had war horses, and the Senate army on the opposite side was all infantry except for the remnants of the White Frost Legion in Kairim, so Roger They were not particularly worried, even if they couldn't win, the wind shooters could still rely on their mobility to get out.
"Get on your horse!" With the commander's order, the popular shooters who had just dismounted and shot quickly returned to their horses, and then they formed a rather loose formation according to the drill code, ready to attack or retreat at any time. Under the protection of the Senate army, the remnants of the White Frost Legion of Kairim slowly retreated towards the depths of the mountain forest, Roger and they saw it clearly, but there was no way to stop it, so they had to shoot at the Senate army in the middle, hoping to inflict more casualties.
However, the history of human warfare for thousands of years has long proved one thing, that is, the dense infantry phalanx and the shield wall composed of thick shields can definitely block the invasion of arrow rain, except for the shooter using the power to carry out riot operations, otherwise in the face-to-face confrontation, the shooter is difficult to cause too much damage to the infantry phalanx.
After 10 rounds of continuous shooting, Senate's main formation stood still, and the two wings took a big stride and began to move forward, if the wind shooters continued to stay in place, they were afraid that they would soon be surrounded by the other side, so Roger and Letoz reluctantly gave the order to retreat, anyway, for the wind shooters who were responsible for the task of searching for the enemy's main force, today's goal has almost been achieved.
The situation on the battlefield can be said to be changing rapidly, and Roger's order to retreat has just been spoken, when a roar is heard from the sky behind the wind shooter, but it is Cassano's magic signal. Seeing the news of this signal, Roger and Letoz suddenly showed joy on their faces, because the main force of Cassano's coalition army had arrived.
After a while, a group of cavalry ran from the west of the entire battlefield, that is, the rear of the popular archer, led by the one holding high the unique emblem of Cassano, and the two people beside him held the banners of the Emblem of Free Heaven and Mochizuki City respectively, it was these three forces that formed the Cassano coalition this time, and Adela also became the supreme commander of this coalition army because of Lane's relationship.
Seeing the arrival of Cassano's reinforcements, the two flanks of Senate's army stopped, but they did not retreat, because they would only be in disarray. As sword and shield warriors, they can only rely on the phalanx to confront the enemy's archers and even cavalry, but although the dense phalanx has stronger defense, they have completely abandoned their mobility, so they can only passively stay in place now, waiting for the enemy to attack them.
Because Ryan adopts a few elite ideas in the Cassano military system, the strength of the Cassano coalition army is not very large this time, Cassano's three elite troops are a total of 12,000 people, 2,000 mercenary troops of Free Heaven, and 3,000 troops of Mochizuki City, as for the magic legion of Mochizuki City did not come to Cassano this time, after all, they have to stay in Mochizuki City to guard against the surprise attack of the undead legion.
When the 17,000 people of the Cassano coalition army were arranging their positions, the reinforcements of Senate on the opposite side also appeared from the mountains and forests one after another, although Cassano's wind shooters sent out several rounds of shooting, but unfortunately Senate's army relied on the mountains and forests to set up formations, and those lush trees greatly blocked the trajectory of the arrows, so that the wind shooters were disturbed in vain. Although Senate had shooters on his side, he lacked mobility, and if they wanted to shoot at the position of Cassano's coalition forces, they had to leave the mountains and forests and travel a not short distance at the risk of becoming the target of Cassano's popular marksmen, so Senate's side wisely gave up this idea.
After both sides quickly arranged their positions, Senate's main force was finally revealed, and they relied on the mountains and forests to arrange several phalanxes, of which the two wings were slightly outward, because they had just planned to encircle Cassano's popular marksmen, and Senate's main force was placed in the Chinese army, and Senate himself appeared in front of Ryan with his cronies.
This is the second time Ryan saw Senate after 5 years, when the battle of Giethoorn Town, Senate relied on the time and space gate scroll to escape, at that time Ryan's strength was far inferior to now, of course, there was no way to leave the opponent, but this time, Ryan, who has been promoted to a legendary mage, has a considerable certainty to kill or even capture Senat alive, even if the opponent uses the time and space gate scroll, Ryan can also use magic to interfere with the operation of this scroll, thereby interrupting the process of time and space teleportation.
Because it was a tripartite joint operation, Adela placed the mercenaries from the Free Paradise on the left flank of the position, and the warriors from Mochizuki City on the right flank, and put the strongest force of the coalition, Cassano's three elites in the middle, after all, no matter how strong the army is, it can't resist Ryan's forbidden curse, with two legendary powerhouses in charge, it doesn't matter if the right is strong and the left is weak.
"That's the woman!" Brady and Gagore shouted almost in unison, they saw Karina, who led the bloodbath of the Druid tribe, standing beside Senate, and there was almost fire in her eyes, but it was a pity that the two sides were too far apart, otherwise Gagord would definitely rush forward again regardless of their injured bodies.
Allendo snorted coldly and said, "If you want to die, I don't mind adding two more places to the dead in today's battle!"
Gagor and Brady immediately closed their mouths tightly, their current injuries have not healed at all, this time they followed the Cassano coalition army, almost gritted their teeth and stiffened, even if the woman was standing in front of them now, Gagor They did not have any certainty of winning, after all, a revenant next to that woman could directly kill Gagord in his heyday.
"Remember to me that only by living can I achieve my wishes. Alendor said this coldly and never spoke again, and Gagor and Brady seemed to calm down, and they gradually calmed down, but their eyes were still fixed on Karina.
At this time, Senat in the opposite position spoke loudly under the protection of a large group: "I, Senat, am the royal heir of the former Movol Dynasty, and my body is flowing with the noble blood that has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, and the Fernando 200 years ago was just a usurping general under my ancestors, and today I want to take back everything that belongs to me! If you are willing to marry my daughter, then you are the heir to the next king of the entire Movol Empire!"
