Chapter 204: The Battle of Clay City
Eve's sudden appearance of the cavalry legion was like a scythe harvesting wheat, and it was immediately slaughtered behind the demon legion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć There was no mercy on the torrent of steel that charged, and the speed of the cavalry did not fight and became slower and slower, but faster and sharper.
For a while, the world was turned upside down, and the troops of the demon clan retreated one after another, wanting to go to the rear to support. But as soon as the troops retreated, the besieging forces on and below the walls thought they had been defeated.
Suddenly, the originally high morale was suddenly poured out like a dam collapsing.
As soon as the besieging troops retreated, Joseph immediately ordered: "Give me the order, release the beacon fire!"
Then, the south gate burned the beacon tower on the castle tower, and in an instant, a billowing smoke rose into the sky, and the horn of attack sounded again.
With the two sides working together, the morale of the soldiers of Idiris's was greatly boosted. They were armed with shields and swords, as if they were in a no-man's land.
However, the army of the demons is tens of thousands, and the more than 10,000 people of Idiris's have not completely defeated the other party's strength at all. The scales of victory have simply returned to balance. Soon, the battle line of the demons was once again stabilized. They hoped to hold out and then make a detour to the sides of Eve's cavalry. Eat this lone cavalry in one bite.
Joseph, who was standing on the city wall and watching, saw the thoughts of the demons, and hurriedly asked his defenders to launch a group charge. Fight to tear a hole in Eve's cavalry corps.
However, the battle line of the demon clan has been fully stabilized, although it has been attacked from both sides, but it can't hold on to the large number of people, and the direction of the two ends has been resisted.
Now that Eve's cavalry raids have worn off, the danger is getting closer. Even the rear army of the demons has as many as 20,000 people, while Eve's only has 3,000 cavalry.
Although the combat effectiveness of these cavalry is far superior to those motley troops that the demons use to fill up. But these cavalry had fallen into a one-to-four disadvantage.
Gradually, the momentum of the charge was contained, and the two sides fell into a hand-to-hand battle. As soon as the cavalry stopped the horses, it meant a disadvantage.
And although the demons were in chaos in the army by this raid, their morale was frustrated. However, it was fortunate that the troops were stopped in time. Counterattacks and encirclements began.
Just as the two armies of the demon clan were roundabout and Joseph was anxious, suddenly a raging fire broke out on the side of the Little Clay River, and the fire spread sharply, all the way from the port by the river to the interior of the demon army, like a fire in the prairie fire. The demon troops on the right flank were burning under the fire, and they wailed heartbreakingly.
Joseph looked suspiciously, and saw the demon ships, firing bows, crossbows, and catapults to attack his team.
Huge fireballs and fire arrows ignited the demon supplies hoarded by the harbor, and the fire spread for miles for a while. And the materials on these ports are the last supplies for these 80,000 demon soldiers.
When these supplies were burned out, the orcs and kobolds of the demon clan, like a school of fish chased by sharks, panicked and fled in all directions.
Then a huge Idiris four-pointed star rode from the flagship mast of the fleet and slowly unfurled.
"These demon warships are their own people!
The soldiers on the ramparts cried out their surprise.
Only then did Joseph understand that the 3,000 people led by Eve were not the main force, and he was afraid that the rest of them were on these demon ships. But now it seems that these ships should be surnamed Idiris, from head to toe.
When the fire became smaller in the harbor, the ships that had re-hoisted the flag of the four-pointed star of Idiris, docked. They laid down the landing planks.
"Warriors of Idris, the time has come to enjoy the final victorious killing. Come with me, give these demons a blood-soaked gift!"
Following Lance's speech, he was the first to burst out of the battleship on a landing board on a horse with a sword in hand, followed by more heavily armed cavalry.
The original fire had already plunged the right wing of the demon clan into extreme chaos. And Lance's pursuit of victory directly caused the right wing of the demon clan to completely collapse.
The orcs, kobolds, and giants who once shouted and were arrogant were invincible. Everywhere Lance went, there was almost no resistance. They just keep one action, and that is to swing their knives and chop off the heads of their enemies.
"The army! It's the army of men! The harbor is burned! Run!"
The right flank of the demon clan collapsed for thousands of miles, and retreated towards the rout of the Chinese army. And the soldiers of the Demon Clan's Central Army, who had already maintained the battle line, fought with Eve and scored a high score, heard the wail from the rout army on the right flank. I thought there was a huge army on the harbor.
The demon army of the middle army saw the flames in the east sky. Morale was shaken as well.
Then something terrible happened. In an instant, the defeat was like a mountain, like dominoes, and the Chinese army also began to rout, retreating towards the left flank.
Eve saw the signs that the demon army's heart was shaken, so she seized the opportunity at this time, so she yelled in front of the battle: "Our 50,000 army has killed the right flank of the demon race." The demons have been defeated!"
When they heard Eve's words, the demon soldiers believed it to be true, thinking that it was really an army of 50,000 that appeared on their right flank. The morale that was already shaken completely collapsed at this time.
Then the demon army was defeated, and in the end, the troops of the right and middle flanks were routed and crushed their own left flank army.
The original confrontation between the two armies and the roundabout outflanking have now been completely turned into a rout of the demons.
Under the attack of Lance, Eve and Joseph on three sides, the remaining tens of thousands of troops of the demon clan have been crushed and hunted down all the way.
The cavalry commander of Lance and Eve drove straight in, pursued them for a day and a night, and when they reached a distance of 50 miles, Ming Jin withdrew his troops.
Only two or three thousand remnants of the demon clan escaped.
Standing on the walls of Clay City, the way back to the south was completely soaked in red blood. Like a red carpet, spread under the city of Clay, stretching for 50 miles.
After this battle, the demon clan's blitzkrieg army, known as 100,000, was all wiped out.
Looking at the corpses scattered all over the mountains, Lance and the others rode horses and walked back along the messy road.
They were too tired to say a word. Lance was unharmed, and the cavalry he led was not much hurt. This is because before they charged, the raging fire that Lance set in the harbor had already defeated the demon army.
It was as if Lance had marched with his own cavalry. The only trouble now is what to do with this mountain of corpses.
When Lance and Eve meet again at a crossroads. A faint smile appeared on the tired faces of both of them.
Lance took off his blood-stained helmet and said, "Eve, I didn't expect your cavalry to run so fast, and in such a little time, they ran to the battlefield. They didn't lag behind me too much. ā
Eve also took off her helmet and said with a smile, "I arrived first! Tomorrow I'm going to see you in women's clothes!"
Lance said, "How is it possible, it is clear that I arrived first." ā
While the two men were arguing, Joseph returned from the other side with the pursuing troops.
"Yo! How to win and quarrel. I'm ...... today."
"Joseph!" Eve interrupted Joseph's words and asked, "You say, on the city wall, did you see my cavalry first, or did you see Lance's disguised demon fleet first?"
Joseph asked suspiciously, "Is there anything to fight about?"
Lance said, "General Joseph, don't ask too much, just tell the truth." ā
Joseph said, "You two don't have a lot of property together." ā
Hearing this answer, Lance and Eve looked at each other and said in unison, "Impossible!"
At this time, Veronica calmly rode to the middle of the two, patted the shoulders of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Don't fight, one wears a woman's costume and the other wears a maid's suit." I'll be waiting to see you guys perform tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
