Chapter 381: Cavalry Charge
Dunk Joseph was also a little dumbfounded, why were there so many cavalry on the opposite side?
You must know that cavalry is different from other types of troops, and it takes a lot of time and resources to raise war horses alone.
Dunk Joseph originally thought that even if this was a grassland, Xia Qi's city would be able to reach the sky with about 2,000 cavalry troops in addition to the infantry troops defending the city.
But looking at the scene in front of him, it is inevitably too abnormal, isn't this Xia Qi putting all his cavalry here?
How did he know that when he was on an expedition to the Mor Khanate, Great Xia had harvested a large number of war horse resources and hundreds of thousands of steppe people.
These steppe people have grown up on horseback since childhood, and they can be described as skilled in bow horses.
Such a person, after simple training, is able to become a qualified cavalryman.
In just a few years, there were nearly 30,000 cavalry on the steppe of Great Xia.
Straight to the point.
After receiving the report from the patrol, Kree immediately led his archers to kill them.
Even though he left some of his cavalry in the city, he still had 8,000 troops under his command.
Soon after Kereh left the city, Silan, who had been leading his light cavalry to rage on the steppe all day, returned.
After receiving the news, after quickly replenishing the supplies, he immediately led the light cavalry under his command to rush out, and fought with Kereh halfway.
Together, the two armies had a strength of eighteen thousand, and swept towards Dunk Joseph's goblin army.
When he saw the green pressure on the other side, Kree's brow couldn't help but wrinkle.
Although he had already learned from the documents sent by His Majesty that this goblin army was extremely numerous, when he actually saw it with his own eyes, he was still shocked in his heart.
Si Lan on the side said: "Good guy, I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of green-skinned dwarfs on the other side, right?" ”
"It's not that exaggerated." Hearing this, Kree shook his head and said.
No more nonsense, years of collaboration have allowed the two to know each other's thoughts after looking at each other.
I saw that Kereh pulled the reins and directly led the eight thousand archers under his command to break away from the large army.
The cavalry army suddenly split into two, and Silan led the light cavalry under his command to accelerate in a roundabout way.
After charging with his cavalry archers for a while, Kree now ordered: "All salvo ready—"
"Put!"
With Kree's order, the archers came up in a wave of fire, and tens of thousands of arrows swept towards the goblin army.
Seeing the rain of arrows coming, Dunk Joseph's face changed instantly.
He never expected that there were archers coming from the opposite side!
The archers were not the point, the point was that there were a large number of spearmen among the troops he brought with him this time.
It is true that the spearmen were able to restrain the cavalry, but at the same time, the archers also restrained the spearmen.
Faced with an overwhelming barrage of arrows, goblin spearmen without shields for defense fell like wheat harvested.
In the face of this exaggerated rain of arrows, the morale of the goblin army under his command is constantly declining.
Without waiting for Dunk Joseph to react, the roundabout light cavalry unit had already increased the speed of the charge to the extreme, and rushed into the battlefield in one go!
This efficient and tacit operation fully demonstrated that this was a well-trained elite army, which greatly increased the pressure on Dunk Joseph, who stood in the midst of the goblin army.
Just as he wanted to order the spearmen in the front row to resist the cavalry attack, at this moment, the bow cavalry troops, who were not willing to be lonely, swept towards them again with round after round of arrows.
Two large cavalry units directly formed a front and rear flank formation against them.
In the face of this terrible situation, the generals of the ordinary regular army are afraid that they will feel anxious about it.
What's more, this group has not received formal training at all, and it is put into battle to fight for numbers, and the goblin slave soldiers used as cannon fodder can cope with it?
The goblins, who had lost their minds due to fear, instantly caused Dunk Joseph's control over his army to drop again and again.
Dunk Joseph knew in his heart that it was basically impossible for the Goblin Slave Soldiers to cope with this situation.
So after realizing that something was wrong, he no longer counted on the goblin slaves under his command, as long as they could disrupt the enemy's formation to a certain extent, it would be good.
As for the rest, it is naturally left to the Goblin troops and goblin beasts as regular troops!
After abandoning the Goblin Slave Soldiers, Dunk Joseph immediately mobilized the Goblin Behemoths to forcibly stop the cavalry charge.
The key to cavalry is mobility, as long as they stop, he is confident that his army is a pile and can kill them!
The several goblin beasts that came up head-on made the pupils of Silan, who was leading the charge, shrink.
Then, he shouted directly at the lieutenant general beside him: "The next command will be handed over to you." ”
While speaking, I saw Silan directly riding his horse and rushing up.
Only a hissing sound was heard, and a azure air flow visible to the naked eye instantly lingered on the golden horse under Silan's crotch.
Xiao Jin, who evolved into a wind-based demonic beast, once he mobilized wind-based magic, his speed was not at all comparable to that of ordinary cavalry.
In the blink of an eye, Silan had already distanced himself from the large army.
After breaking away from the group's charging team, I saw Slan pick up a gun and enter the battle, one man and one horse, and kill those goblin beasts.
Seeing Silan's movements, the goblin beasts, who thought they had been provoked, instantly became furious, and they launched an attack on Silan with a low roar.
In the face of such a situation, Silan was not afraid of danger and became one with his own mounts, showing an amazing tacit understanding.
While dodging the goblin beast's attack, Slan shook the spear in his hand, and the sharp blade slashed directly through the wrist of a goblin monster.
However, to Silan's surprise, his spear made of green iron actually left only a shallow mark.
He didn't have time to think about it, and at the same time as he staggered, Silan directly returned the horse pistol, and the sharp blade directly penetrated the light armor that wrapped the back of the goblin behemoth, and when the blade was half in, he felt obvious resistance.
And at this moment, the goblin beast, which felt the pain coming from behind the quilt and realized that it had been attacked, suddenly let out an even more violent roar, and at the same time, the entire burly body also writhed violently.
Immediately, Silan only felt a huge force coming, and in the next moment, he broke away from the horse with the spear in his hand, and the whole person was directly suspended in the air.
Feeling the sudden feeling of suspension, Si Lan's expression froze, but he didn't feel panicked once.
As a top fierce general, Si Lan has a big heart that has been on the battlefield for many years, and even in this dangerous situation, his brain still maintains calm.
I saw that at this critical moment, Xiao Jin under Silan's crotch directly opened his big mouth, and a wind energy was gathering between its mouths.
I saw that its mouth squirted, and the wind energy blurted out in an instant, and in an instant, it turned into a wind blade, and flew towards the goblin giant beast rapidly.
The Wind Blade struck the goblin beast's right arm.
I saw that the wind blade was like slicing tofu, directly cutting off the goblin beast's right arm, and then leaving an inch-deep scar on his side chest.
"Roar!"
The goblin behemoth ached, and then began to writhe more violently.
Taking advantage of this force, Silan shook his body and threw himself into the air, and at the same time that his spear was also drawn.
In an instant, a stream of green blood gushed out.
The goblin beast, which had completely lost his mind, saw Silan in the air and directly stretched out his hand to shoot at him.
You must know that Silan is now in mid-air, and there is not even a focus point, which can be said to be unavoidable!
At this critical juncture, Xiao Jin, who was anxious for the protector, immediately mobilized all the magic power in his body.
A blade of wind flew out larger than before, slicing off the goblin beast's shoulder, and cutting off most of its head.
No matter how rough the goblin beast is, when its head is gone, it can only be hated on the spot.
Bang!!!
With a loud bang, the headless goblin beast instantly fell to the ground, and the green blood gushed frantically as if it didn't want money.
Jin didn't care whether the goblin beast was alive or dead, and after sending out the wind blade, he ran towards Slan, and firmly latched it to his back before the other man fell to the ground.
This series of events shocked Dunk Joseph, who was in the rear.
Then, before he could come back to his senses, on the other side, the lieutenant general who had taken over the command had already taken a detour with the light cavalry troops, avoiding the interception of the goblin beasts and breaking through the goblin army.
The Goblin Slave Soldiers, who were already in deep fear, held spears in their hands that were specially designed to target the cavalry, but their unorganized offensive was destined to pose little threat to the cavalry units in the charging state.
At the moment when the rushing light cavalry unit collided with the goblin army, it directly erupted with almost devastating destructive power, like a mad beast, raging wildly among the goblin army.
A round of charge, directly across the entire military formation, rushed from one end to the other, leaving countless goblin corpses along the way, but they were already unrecognizable and flesh and blood.
Silan and Xiao Jin, at this time, can be said to have drawn enough hatred, and they have successfully killed a goblin behemoth, and they have become the primary target of all goblin behemoths.
Fortunately, although the mana stored in his body has been used up, Xiao Jin, who is a war horse, still has plenty of physical strength.
In the face of these stupid big guys, Silan directly flew the kite at this time, and successfully brought them within the attack range of the archers.
If it is placed on the heads of other troops, the army generals at this time will only suspect whether Silan is deliberately retaliating, but the archers are an exception.
Kree, who had worked with Silan for many years, instantly understood what he meant when he saw this scene.
Immediately ordered: "Prepare the bloodletting gun—"
The movement speed of the goblin beast was far less than that of Slan, who was riding a war horse, and after seeing the movements of the archers on the opposite side, he immediately accelerated to throw the goblin beasts away completely.
And at the same time, Kree waved his big hand.
"Put !!"
At the sound of an order, a group of bloodletting guns suddenly roared out, this battle was much more terrifying than the previous rain of arrows, and at the same time caused great lethality.
After all, the Bloodletting Gun was created to target large units with thick skin.
In the face of a large number of bloodletting guns, even elephant people can't bear it, let alone these goblin behemoths that are far inferior.
