Chapter 186: Field Battle (Part II)

The two huge legions were like two beasts that had been fighting for a long time, they were already a little tired, panting and looking at each other with blood-red fierce eyes, gently licking their wounds, and at the same time looking at each other with vigilant eyes, ready to rise up again to deliver a fatal blow to each other!

Tiger finally couldn't take it anymore. He sent out the special army of the Rolands: Chariots!

The combat team is the famous special forces of Roland 6, which is characterized by solidity, powerful impact, especially in the open area of the plains.

Each chariot is made of ironwood, a specialty of Roland 6, and is so strong that ordinary fireball magic cannot destroy them. The wheels on both sides were topped with sharp blades on both wings, and when the carriage galloped, the wheels rolled, and the blades on both wings were as terrible as a sharp whirlwind!

Each carriage was equipped with three selected warriors in fine armor, whose stature and strength were selected according to certain standards, and they were dressed in armor comparable to that of heavy infantry and had strong protective capabilities. One of them drove the carriage, the other two, one with a spear and the other with a tomahawk. In addition, there is a huge shield wrapped in cowhide, which can withstand the attacks of enemy archers when charging, and when the distance is close, the soldiers immediately put down the shield and pick up spears and battle axes to attack.

And each carriage was equipped with two fine war horses. This kind of war horse is selected and rigorously trained. In terms of strength, it is much stronger than ordinary war horses, but its degree and endurance can be slightly weaker. The horses are also covered with light armor and have a certain protective ability.

It can be said that this kind of army has quite strong lethality in a head-to-head duel in the open area of the plains. The sturdy carriage acts as a fortress that can easily break down the enemy's dense hoplite formations. The ground archers behind the infantry do very little damage to them.

Imagine a nightmare when a human flesh and blood body charged head-on against such a heavy, sturdy chariot!

The advantages of this vehicle are obvious, but the weaknesses are also quite prominent - which is a big reason why Tiger did not send this army before. There is another reason: the cost of such a chariot army is extremely expensive, even far more than a knight order of the same size!

Ironwood chariots were expensive, and the cost of maintenance and repair was even more prohibitive. And the soldiers on the chariot are carefully selected warriors. It is extremely precious, and it may be easy to train an ordinary soldier, but it is very difficult to cultivate such a soldier, and it can only be selected from the layers of the army. The horses are also the best horses in a hundred places. Coupled with the cost of weapons and armor, it's a huge expense.

This chariot army is a special type of army unique to the kingdom discussed by Roland the Great 6 - that is, the Kingdom of Sauron - and the other small kingdoms of Roland the Great 6 simply do not have the strength to support such an expensive army. It is impossible to pick out so many good soldiers.

Even if the kingdom of Sauron occupies half of the national strength of Roland6, it only has 3,000 chariots, and the number of soldiers is 10,000. However, compared with the 50,000 Royal Knights, the cost of the 10,000-man chariot was much higher.

"It's time...... As the drums beat in a low voice, the armies of both sides gathered together in the wilderness, and Tiger said to himself, "Let's see if this convoy can stand up to that terrible Thor's whip." ”

Of course, there is also a thought that makes Tiger dare not use the chariot in advance, because he knows very well that this chariot is the trump card of the kingdom of Sauron! The real trump card! A terrifying war machine that His Majesty has spent countless amounts of money to build. The purpose is to fight against the invincible Holy Knights in Roland 6!

King Sauron was extremely ambitious, and naturally he was dissatisfied with the situation in which the royal power was suppressed by the clergy. This convoy is the biggest trump card for the Holy Knights in the future when the kingdom and the Cult turn against each other!

After the loud trumpet sounded, the military formation of the Empire of Light began to move slowly.

In front of the formation was a phalanx of heavily armored infantry of tens of thousands of northern legions, flanked by cavalry...... Wait, cavalry?Tiger frowned, why didn't Thor's Whip make an appearance?

After the officers in the imperial camp shouted loudly, the phalanx of tens of thousands of hoplite regiments slowly moved forward, and the soldiers shouted in unison. The morning sun shone on their bright armor and the swords in their hands, shining with a cold light.

The neat phalanx slowly advanced, and the sound of uniform steps and heavy footsteps, as well as the clanging sound of the armor and weapons on the soldiers' bodies as they advanced, struck the hearts of the Roland people fiercely.

Tiger looked at the enemy army in front of him with a solemn face. Once again, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "If I had 100,000 such elite infantry......"

He immediately shook his head, now it was a war, this inexplicable thought really didn't make any sense.

He whispered a word, and his herald immediately conveyed the order.

The front of the Roland army slowly opened a wide gap, and then the horn of the bull horn was heard, and the sky shook in an instant!!

Those who have not seen this scene head-on will never be able to experience that kind of shock!

With a low and heavy sound of bull's horns, the sky shook in an instant! Thousands of carriages formed a powerful charge, like a flood beast that had suddenly been awakened, with earth-shattering sounds, the boiling and neighing of war horses, and the high-pitched shouts of soldiers, all these sounds were mixed together. Although it doesn't sound sharp and harsh, it seems to deaf people's ears and tremble!

The rolling wheels brought up the dust in the sky, and I saw that in front of me was a cloud of dust covering the sky and the sun, and at the front was countless chariots that were rushing rapidly, although the distance was still far away, but it seemed that I could already hear the roars of the opposing soldiers and their blood-red eyes!

The officers of the Empire of Light immediately realized the terrible nature of the enemy army in front of them, and after giving the order, the archers hiding behind the infantry phalanx immediately launched a volley! A dense rain of arrows like locusts pierced into the charging chariot, but in the face of the heavy shields raised on the chariots, it was difficult to inflict great damage on the enemy. Even if some arrows occasionally leak through the shield and can't be covered, it is difficult to effectively kill soldiers in heavy armor.

After a rain of arrows, the other party has rushed closer!

"Ready!!" shouted the Imperial officer.

The soldiers moved nervously, gradually getting closer, trying to make their phalanx more dense and thick.

The officer's shout of "Prepare for !!" also looked a little nervous amid the deafening charge of the other party.

The soldiers in the front row slammed the huge shield in their hands into the ground. Then use your body to resist it.

Get ready!!!

The spearman stretched out his spear from the gap in his shield, and countless sharp spears were raised flat to meet the enemy that swept through like a storm.

When the first carriage slammed into the infantry phalanx, the spear was immediately broken by the tremendous impact, and then it was inserted into the shield wall and smashed open one by one, and the soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

The horses in the front carriage were pierced by spears, but these powerful horses neighed and dragged the carriage for several steps before falling down.

That's all you need to do!

Breaking through the shields and spears at the forefront, the follow-up chariot slashed into the imperial infantry phalanx like a knife!

Spears and tomahawks in the hands of Roland warriors on chariots. The blades rolling on the wheels of the wings of the carriage, the impact of the sturdy boulder-like chariot, and even the trampling of the horses became a nightmare for the Imperial infantry!

The infantry on the front could not resist the onslaught of the opponent's chariot head-on, and the infantry on both sides had already been torn apart by the whirlwind blade before they even got close to the chariot!

In the face of such an amazing weapon, the quality of the Imperial infantry was immediately manifested. If the infantry of the Roland people were replaced, it was estimated that they would soon collapse in the face of such an amazing charge. But the soldiers of the Northern Legion of the Bright Empire rushed forward bravely, and one after another fell under the rolling wheels of the chariot! These soldiers were determined to die, and even tried to block the advance of the opponent's chariot with their own bodies! Some soldiers picked up their broken spears on the ground and rolled them over the opponent's wheels with their spears. The spear in his hand had just smashed the opponent's wheel, and his body had been cut into pieces by the blade! Some soldiers simply rushed forward in three or five non-stop......

The Imperial cavalry on both sides had already moved, and they tried to attack the opponent's chariot formation from both flanks, but Tiger had already made the Holy Knights wait, and after a roar, the Holy Knights, who had been waiting for a long time, split into two ways and rushed towards the opposing cavalry......

Facts have proved that on the battlefield, when one of the two belligerents suddenly masters a special sharp weapon, it is always easy to gain an advantage in a short period of time.

And this truth is confirmed in the body of the emperor ** team!

It must be said that the Northern Legion from Miro showed incomparable courage and quality, and they deserved to be the elite of the Emperor's ** team. In order to stop the opponent's convoy, they paid an extremely heavy price! Because they knew that if the opponent's convoy was allowed to rush over, then what awaited the archers standing behind the infantry phalanx would be a massacre! The lightly armed archers could not have any resistance in the face of such terrible weapons of war!

The cavalry on both flanks has already clashed with the Holy Knights, and although the cavalry of the Northwest Army is strong, it is still a little worse than the Holy Knights of Roland 6, and the entire empire's military array is crushed. And Tiger saw clearly from behind, and immediately ordered several infantry regiments under his command to rush forward!

Take this opportunity to completely crush the tens of thousands of people on the other side in one fell swoop, and then take the opportunity to break through the opponent's defense!!

Miró watched his army being slaughtered and bloodied by the enemy almost with a gloomy face, and he gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat!

The bows and arrows of the rear team retreated into the defense line first, and one wall was torn down, and on top of the deep trench it was like a slab bridge, and the infantry in front was blocking the enemy's advance with their flesh and blood, while the soldiers behind were retreating one after another.

Fortunately, the opposing chariot had passed through the thick and dense infantry phalanx, and the momentum of the charge had stalled, although the soldiers on the chariot still swept the surrounding Imperial soldiers back and forth with spears and battle axes. But in front of the mountains of corpses and the already sluggish wheels, the chariot could no longer roar.

All this gave the Imperial soldiers precious time to retreat!

When he saw that the camp in front of him had finally been broken through, Miro gritted his teeth and gave another order!

Put away the wall!!

Although there are still tens of thousands of infantry left behind, and although the two cavalry teams on both wings are still fighting to the death with the Holy Knights of the other side, the only way to survive behind has been closed!

Ropes were pulled up one by one, and the only retreating bridge over the trench was gone......

Seeing that there was no way out, the soldiers of the empire had no fear or sorrow, and the rest let out a cry, turned and glared fiercely at the enemy behind them with bloodshot eyes, let out a desperate roar like a beast, and then rushed forward......

The Imperial cavalry on both wings fought to the end, and they did not win in the head-to-head duel with the Holy Knights, but they did not tarnish the golden tulip banner flying high in the barracks behind them!

When the last Imperial soldier on the battlefield fell, there was no joy after the victory on the faces of the Rolands, only deep amazement and fear!

The corpses and blood all over the ground testify to what a tragic battle has just been experienced here. There were also fallen wounded horses that did not die for a while, and let out a low wail. Every knight of the Holy Knights was covered in blood, and it was no longer clear whether it was his own or his enemy's. The slashing swords in their hands had been put down, but looking at the fallen opponent in front of them, there was a bit of a strange look on their originally indifferent faces......

This battle, in the second holy war, was the most tragic battle between the two sides, the first and last time the Roland convoy wielded a strong and terrifying strength, this special weapon of war, later called the "meat grinder".

Seeing the walls of the opposing line re-erected, and the arrows and fireballs in the hands of the archers and warlocks slanting down like rain, Tiger finally sighed and ordered his troops to return.

Although he finally won one game today, Tiger's heart was a little heavy......

What about Thor's Whip, and why isn't it there today?
