Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Hundred Horsemen Break a Thousand Troops!

The final blow to the Chaos Centaurs was Old Loren, who had already broken through their array. After killing the centaur captain with one blow, this mighty warrior of the red-armored black horse simply cut down four or five chaotic beasts in a row, rushing out of the chaotic beast herd in one breath and distancing himself from them. When the musketeers launched a roundabout back attack on the rear of the Chaos Beasts, the old knight with the great sword in high smoothly joined them, and then, after a volley of fierce muskets, led the lads with the longsword to strike beautifully on the back of the Chaos Array. This caused the Chaos Centaurs to collapse completely, throwing away their flags, throwing away their armor, letting out a beastly wail, and fleeing in all directions, just as a flock of sheep or a deer is scattered by a beast.

This was the end of the first encounter between the human reinforcements and the Chaos Beast, Hyde and Loren Sr. destroyed the cavalry of the Chaos Beast with a beautiful flanking attack, and in a few minutes of fierce fighting, nearly fifty Chaos centaurs were killed, and the remaining nearly half were wounded and fled in all directions, while the loss of the human cavalry was two dead and five wounded, four of whom were lightly wounded. The exchange ratio is excellent. However, now is not the time to celebrate, there are still many enemies, and it is necessary to take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the victory.

"Lord Hyde, please don't scatter the stragglers pursuing Chaos, and keep your team focused. We are to seize the power of this victory, and in one fell swoop press the main forces of Chaos to the flanks of their own formation. Crushing the enemy's own array with the enemy's own rout is the best way to break the morale of the enemy!"

Old Lorenzer galloped to Hyde and offered his opinion to the young knight. The great-haired warrior's greatsword was covered in the blood of the Chaos Beast, and it smelled of gunpowder with sulfur, and it was as majestic as King Kong. In the fierce battle just now, he killed more than a dozen Chaos centaurs by himself, including their captain with three strange horns, which fully demonstrated the amazing strength of this old hero's sword. It is conceivable what a powerful warrior this old man would have been in his youth!

"My Grandpa Loren, this battle is won thanks to your deployment and your bravery, and I will naturally follow your advice. Signal the infantry to mount and follow, and we're going to seize the moment. ”

Hyde wiped the blood from his sword and answered Old Loren's advice. The fifty horsemen regrouped in pursuit, squeezing the centaur rout towards the black array in the distance. The victory in the first battle filled everyone with confidence, and the confidence that flowed from their faces. The infantry in the rear also mounted their horses, raised their banners, and chased after the cavalry with a cloud of dust.

As Hyde and Loren ended their brief conversation and directed the small human reinforcements toward the enemy's main formation, an observer who had witnessed the collapse of the Chaos Centaurs a mile away roared in rage, its hoarse and strange voice echoing in the midday sun.

"Human ...... The messenger of the gods of the north...... Why did he tell Gore...... There is no human army here?Why? He wants to deceive Gore? No, messenger of the gods...... Mighty gods, beautiful gods, bless the brave Gore to slay all his enemies!"

The owner of this voice was a tall, sheep-headed demihuman beast with four twisted horns, in the center of the Chaos Beast queue. It wore a delicate black chest plate armor that was extremely rare among beasts, decorated with azure philosopher's stone in the center, the relief and blades of golden serpents stretched out from its shoulder armor, black chains wrapped around its waist in a withered skeleton, and a long scimitar with a wide bladed leather sheath and copper handle inserted between this chain belt.

The leader of the unusual beast was surrounded by a large group of tall sheep-headed beasts armed with double-edged battle axes, glittering chainmail robes inlaid with brass goggles, and leather cloaks. They are elite beasts known as "Bystigor", these creatures are the strongest of the Chaos Beastmen, and are relatively rare to possess the surname Discipline and Tenacity, so they often become the direct guard of the Great Boss, or the Great Leader himself. The fact that such a well-equipped guard is relatively rare among beasts, and it also proves that the beast leader has an unusual status.

Above their heads fluttered a huge military flag sewn in various leathers and decorated with human and beast skeletons, embroidered with an eight-pointed star of Chaos and a glittering Seal of the Slaanesh God Emblem, indicating that this herd was not an ordinary beast tribe, but a Chaos army that had been co-opted by the great Chaos Storm of the Chosen One of the North, and that the superior armor and weapons of the leader and guard might be a generous gift from the Northern Chaos Legion for these simple-minded followers.

The leader of the beasts of the four horns is named Krandesgol, he is a beast chief in the Black Forest in the north of the empire, he has been active in the Duchy of Osterland and the Duchy of the Highlands for many years, and has been violently surrounded and suppressed by the emperor [***] team many times, but it has escaped by its luck and agility, so it can continue to lead the beast tribe to raid everywhere freely. But three months ago----- its fate changed. It is no longer free, it has a master.

A squire witch of the god of chaos Slaanesh visited its tribal camp on a moonlit night, and used brilliant magic and incomparable ** seduction to make the beast fall into madness, this "goddess" with beautiful curved horns and hooves generously promised to give the beastmaster who was ** carried away with many rewards, and successfully recruited it and its tribe into the chaos storm of Slaanesh. Twenty days ago, a squadron of Chaos Kugan cavalry from the far north brought it a magnificent gift from the Chosen Lord of Slaanesh, as well as an order from its master----- to go north as covertly as possible, intercept the transport lines of the Emperor's [***] team, and then join the great Chosen Champion Lord,** with the beloved star of the god of beauty, Salis--- Lord, Lordari, which was dictated by the great champion Chaos Witch herself.

So the beastmaster Krandesgol put on the exquisite armor bestowed by the god of chaos beauty, and with great happiness, he issued the order to go north. There were more than 7,000 strong Chaos Beasts assembled under its banner, but for the sake of concealment, they marched at night in four directions. With the agility and instinct of the beasts, they managed to evade the Imperial army, and after more than ten days of marching, they came to the southern border of Kislev, next to the supply lines of the Empire, looking forward to a happy battle and sacrifice to the great goddess of beauty, Salis.

But unfortunately, Krandesgore was surprised to find that the first passing imperial supply convoy to the north actually had nearly 3,000 wagons, more than 2,000 camels, as well as a full thirty squadrons of human infantry and fourteen squadrons of cavalry as escorts, this huge team numbered nearly 10,000 people, and there may even be a terrible flame mage inside, which really made the beast king who had just gathered two subordinates and a total strength of only more than 3,000 beasts feel weak in his legs, and had to temporarily command his group of beasts to hide and wait for a better time。

After a few days of hiding and scouting, and making sure that the Empire's vast convoy of northbound convoys had gone far and that his own reinforcements were about to arrive, Clansgol decided to choose an appropriate target, such as a poorly defended military station, and launch a night raid that it did best, which was what the Chaos Beastmen did best. To this end, it sent a number of beast reconnaissance teams to hide on the periphery of several nearby military stations, looking for suitable opportunities.

But things always change suddenly, and last night, an order from the northern battlefield interrupted the four-horned beastmaster's careful plan. The Chosen of Chaos Warriors, who had brought the order, told it in an unquestioning tone that a small but extremely important convoy of humans would pass south tomorrow morning. And Slaanesh's loyal servant, Crandersgol, must attack at the right time to annihilate the convoy once and for all. With the exception of an important human female who must be captured alive, all other humans can be disposed of as food or playthings with bestials.

Krandesgol was at first a little dissatisfied with this order, and if he exposed the army of beasts in order to attack a small human convoy, wouldn't it make all his elaborate plans for night raids come to naught? But the envoy of the northern land sternly told it that there was no room for disobedience to this order, and that Gore would dare to live up to the favor of the gods and go against the will of the gods?

Four hours after the bright sun rose in the east, a human convoy of only twenty-three or four white-canoped carriages and forty or so cavalry guards walked into the beastmaster's ambush circle. Krandesgol had prepared 1,300 agile and stealthy beast warriors for this ambush, and according to the Beastmaster's idea, the battle should have ended quickly and crisply, but the truth was outrageous.

Just as the Chaos Chosen Warrior said, this human convoy was truly extraordinary, they quickly formed a circle, and the Goles who were killed and wounded with accurate and fierce bullets and crossbow arrows, and the Goles who rushed to the caravan to engage in hand-to-hand combat were also undignified again and again by sharp halberds and swords, which made the four-cornered beastmaster so angry that he almost rushed to the battle line to slash and kill himself.

But after all, the superiority in strength is decided, after more than two hours of fierce fighting, although there are more than 200 beasts or dead or wounded lying around the ring formation, but the human escort cavalry is only **, and the white canopy of each carriage is beaten like a hedgehog by javelins and throwing axes. Although the cost was a little greater, victory was on the horizon for Krandesgore. The flamboyantly dressed leader was in a better mood and planned to send his guards to deliver the final blow and enter the convoy to capture the "important human woman", because this kind of thing can only be done by the disciplined "Bystigor", and the average beast can only slash and bite indiscriminately, and it is difficult to guarantee that the opponent will be captured alive. How can the will of the Chosen One of Chaos be violated.

But now all these plans have been interrupted by an uninvited guest in the distance, which makes His Excellency the Beastmaster of Krandesgore furious. The sudden appearance of human reinforcements in the smoke and dust, and the instant defeat of a squadron of Chaos centaur cavalry sent to test the battle, caused the head of the four-horned beast leader to be in a mess. What is the size of this human army, and whether to concentrate on taking down the convoy in front of you first, or to turn around and deal with the human reinforcements first? This has become a serious question.

Beastmen are simple-minded and don't hesitate for long because of questions. After a few moments, the four-horned beastmaster made a choice----- leaving some 200 of his subordinates to continue to besiege the convoy that had become a turtle in the cauldron, and the rest of the 1,000 warriors, including 130 Chaos centaurs, 250 Gore shield axemen, 500 Gore spearmen, 100 Gore javelinmen, and his own 80 elite "Bistigor" guards, all spread out to the flanks to meet the arrogant opponent who dared to disrupt Gore's plan. Because the messenger of God said that there is no human army in this vicinity, the smoke and dust in front of you must be a conspiracy trick of the insidious human beings! Let the warriors destroy the human reinforcements first, and then finally deal with the convoy and some important people!

With a few waves of the Slaanesh banner in the center of the array, these chaotic beasts began to withdraw from the battlefield besieging the convoy in a chaotic manner, and began to redeploy in the face of the human army rolling from the flanks. The plan was good, but it was not very appropriate to actually change the formation of the army in battle, especially when a group of their own troops were fleeing towards it, letting out a miserable howl.

Chaos Beasts have never been well-trained armies, they are still beasts in nature, and they are really not flattering in discipline, and they will not change by putting up a banner of slaanesh. In the fierce siege battle just now, these beasts had already spent too much physical strength and courage, and the order to break into their retreat from the battlefield and change their formation naturally caused the formation and morale of these beasts to fall into chaos. What's worse is that when ----- turned around, there was a group of soulless allies running towards him, followed by a forest of banners in the smoke and dust, and the sound of killing was more terrible.

This decision to change the formation was a fatal mistake of the Chaos Beastmaster, and there is very little chance of correcting the mistake in war. The knight elder Loren, who has more than forty years of war experience, will never let go of this opportunity, and the young god Hyde will not let go of this opportunity! The collapse of this group of chaos beasts will also start from this mistake!

The first to flock to the Chaos Beast Array were the Chaos Centaurs, some of them came to their senses and hurriedly walked around the side of the array, and some of them tried to squeeze into the gap of the array as quickly as possible out of fear, and they also screamed noisily, making the already chaotic Beast Army even more chaotic. This caused His Excellency the Beastmaster of Krandesgoor to roar in rage, waving his sword and instructing the guards to rush over to maintain order.

But it's too late. Because the human pursuers have followed closely behind the rout, seizing the opportunity to launch a decisive assault on this chaotic group of beasts!

After a deafening volley of muskets, dozens of cavalry riding flat-ended banner spears took the lead in striking on the left flank of the chaotic chaos beast infantry that was stirred up by the routed centaurs. The spear and axe snapped, flesh flew everywhere, and screams and howls enveloped the entire beast-man array.

In just one blow, the Gol Shield Axe Men on the leftmost flank of the beast array collapsed. This beastly squadron of one hundred and fifty men had been engaged in battle since the morning, and had already killed and wounded more than thirty in the fierce battle against the horse convoy. They had approached the chariot formation three times, and had been driven back by human swords and buckshot three times, and they were already exhausted, and the change of formation just now had further confused their already low morale. The subsequent rout and baptism of muskets have pressed the psychology and morale of the beasts up and down this squadron into a thin line, and now the thunderous impact of the human cavalry has completely cut off this line of morale!

The collapse of the military formation is a domino pattern, after the collapse of the first Gore squadron, the beasts who fled like a stream of water directly crushed the second squadron around them, they lost the courage to face the spearheads and hooves of the human war horses, and scattered in all directions, the third squadron tried to maintain its position, but the twenty musketeers had already rounded back to their flanks and fired another volley, the strong smell of sulfur and hail of lead bullets scattered the souls and guts of these panicked beasts from the side, and the cavalry spear array that came from the front completely shattered their delusions of resistance。 As a result, the squadron quickly dissipated like ice and snow in the spring sun, and joined the torrent of rout.
