Chapter 52: Reversal of the Situation
The ground shook, and a dull atmosphere crept across the battlefield.
Heavy cavalry! The army of the Haori Kingdom has lost!
Feng Luo quickly made a judgment, and at the same time made a conclusion about the entire war. He browsed all kinds of books "without doing his job" and had a basic understanding of war.
In addition to specially trained troops, heavy cavalry is the best presence in the army. Regardless of the country, a heavy cavalry will be prepared to break the stalemate or reverse the defeat.
The people who make up the heavy cavalry usually choose a tall strength-type pulse qi cultivator. The armor on the knight's body is made of rare metal, which is light in weight but strong in defense.
The mount is also armoured and has a pulsor installed to protect the mount. The most common mount is a horse, and it has to be a horse of a single pedigree. There are also more advanced ones, taming crystal beasts as mounts.
Davao is willing to spend its money, and it is also very smart. If they fight head-on, their heavy cavalry is inferior to the heavy cavalry of the Haori Kingdom. But the current opponent is an ordinary infantryman, not even cavalry.
In order to better hide their figures, the soldiers of the Haori Kingdom traveled lightly and did not even wear leather armor. And in order to reduce the movement, it is too late to choose the elite, and those who come are called nearby. How could such a soldier be an opponent of heavy cavalry?
Slaughter, one-sided slaughter!
Fifty heavy cavalry, a small number, but a formation of ten people in a row is like entering a no-man's land. The two rows were separated by about five feet, and they ravaged the people who stood in the way of their advance.
The first row clears the way, the second row is responsible for killing, and the next three rows serve as a cleanup. In this way, the distance can be opened to mutual rescue, and also prevent the opponent from forming an effective encirclement.
The most effective way to deal with heavy cavalry is to dig deep trenches or set up obstacles. In order to better lay the ambush, it was impossible for the ambush soldiers to do these seemingly useless things before.
With heavy cavalry, it is an ordinary light cavalry of about 200 people. Of course the infantry has, but they haven't come yet. After receiving the signal, in order to seize the time, the cavalry was quickly dispatched to attack first, and the large army followed suit.
On a frontal battlefield, heavy cavalry will be blocked, and light cavalry will be easier to deal with. The infantry was formed in small formations, with spears facing outwards and resembling hedgehogs, and the light cavalry had to take a detour.
However, the team was scattered by Feng Luo before, and was attacked by heavy cavalry, who could care about re-arranging the formation? The cavalry were very experienced, and when they were at a disadvantage in numbers, they relied on speed to rush and kill!
The two hundred light cavalry were divided into four teams of fifty men each, arranged in the same formation as the heavy cavalry. In different directions, the cavalry stormed the opponent to pieces!
"Use the scroll!" the team leader screamed.
Due to the preciousness of the scroll, soldiers cannot use it privately, unless the situation is critical. With the issuance of the order, the hussars began to be thwarted.
The general leading the light cavalry gave a signal that all the light cavalry were back together. Kill and reap lives along the path of heavy cavalry rushing.
A bright light rose from the middle of the heavy cavalry, circling back and forth in the air several times before dispersing. That's the pulser, which is used to emit high and distant signals.
Immediately a bright light rose from inside the mountain, and even in the daytime, it was clear to see. The heavy cavalry adjusted their direction and rushed towards the mountain.
Feng Luo's heart sank, it was the cavalry who came, and he had no intention of killing all the people. As soon as they leave, the villagers will inevitably be used as the target of anger by the losing party.
However, he couldn't help it. Why did the other party come to the rescue?
Suddenly, the squad at the end of the heavy cavalry paused, and as if receiving some order, turned around and rushed towards the grove.
"Hold on! Helpers are coming!" Feng Luo shouted to the villagers to fight back. Although there were only ten people who came, it was completely sufficient.
The process may seem long, but the time is actually very short. From the fierce fight, to hiding in the woods, to the appearance of rescuers, it was only a cup of tea.
Li Lu's body was already scarred, and her clothes were covered with blood. Seeing the arrival of the rescuers, his face was relieved, and he sent it away with a strong breath, his body shook a little, and he almost fell.
The besiegers will not give up such a good opportunity, spears straight stab.
"Be careful!" At the most critical moment, Feng Luo did not relax, always paying attention to the changes around him. After discovering Li Lu's danger, he didn't care about the enemy in front of him, pulled her into his arms, and used his back to withstand the attack.
The toughness of the dragon scale armor can dissolve most of the strength. The spear can only pierce the skin, not go deeper.
Feng Luo snorted, straightened up, and shook the spear away with his back. The only remaining scroll is taken out and activated instantly. The besiegers were well prepared and quickly retreated, suffering only minor injuries.
The soldiers did not dare to use the scrolls, because the people who surrounded them were their own people.
"Back!" Li Lu saw someone behind Feng Luo making a move, and hurriedly reminded him. Feng Luo wanted to turn around again, but it was too late.
Li Lu broke free from Feng Luo's embrace and faced the sneak attacker.
"Poof!" a slight sound, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. The spear pierced into Lilu's body, and the tip sank into it completely.
"Ahh He hated it, why was he so weak, he couldn't even protect the people around him.
The soldiers were knocked out of the woods, and most of the Fengluo veins were drained, and they leaned against the trunks of the trees panting. Pick up Li Lu, she is not dead yet. The pulse qi is running, and the life is temporarily saved.
But such a serious injury, if it is not healed quickly, is not far from death.
"Sister!" the child, hiding in the bushes, ran out crying. Li Lu stretched out her hand and gently touched her brother's face: "Fool, my sister is fine, but I'm tired!" and turned his head to look at Feng Luo: "Live, take my brother alive and help me take care of him!"
Feng Luo gritted his teeth and nodded, and said, "I promise you, you will be fine, I will take you to break out of the encirclement and find medicine to cure your injuries!"
"Leave me alone and beat the enemy away. Li Lu's face was pale, and she was weak to speak.
Feng Luo quickly calmed down and concentrated on dealing with the soldiers. It's not that he is hard-hearted, but the cruel life he has lived since he was a child, allowing him to get rid of his emotions, think in the most rational way, and solve problems.
The soldiers were about to come back in and fight, and the heavy cavalry had already arrived.
"Disperse, retreat!" What the squad leader could do at this time was to tell everyone to disperse and not be killed by the heavy cavalry. Heavy cavalry is placed on the battlefield, the denser the people, the better, and the more efficient.
As the scattered orders were issued, the soldiers immediately showed the best execution. After dispersing, the speed of the heavy cavalry increased dramatically, and the number of people killed decreased.
The heavy cavalry approached, scattered the surrounding soldiers, and then stopped in front of the woods.
"The enemy of the enemy is the friend, what is the name of the friend in the forest?Where does it come from?Can you be willing to make meritorious deeds in the army of Davao?" said the leading heavy cavalry.
Feng Luo did not speak immediately, for he was startled by the mounts of the heavy cavalry.
