Chapter 177: The Hanhai Empire is defeated again

The number of these heavy cavalry is so scarce, and the riders of these heavy cavalry are also the elite selected from various armies, all of whom have the cultivation of eight or nine layers of the day after tomorrow, and they are wearing double layers of heavy armor, and their defense is extremely powerful. Although their mounts are only covered with a layer of armor, they also have a thick layer of earthy yellow scales, so they are equivalent to having the same defensive power as double heavy armor.

Seeing that the enemy opened the city gate and took the initiative to attack, Guo Dafu was not too surprised, and his side was already ready to fight.

I saw that the shield men and pikemen had already laid a strong shield wall at the front, and a large number of archers and musketeers at the rear.

At this time, the enemy troops on the opposite side were still pouring out of the city gate, and behind the heavy cavalry, there were more than 5,000 light cavalry.

These light cavalry mounts are a more common type of giant roosaur, which is far less powerful than the land dragon, but it is more agile and fast, suitable for outflanking and chasing enemies.

Behind the cavalry, there are a large number of infantry and crossbowmen, and there are very few sword and shield soldiers among the infantry, most of them are pikemen, after all, the use of sword and shield is much more complicated than spears, and it is difficult to train in a short time, in contrast, pikemen are easier to train.

And those crossbowmen are also holding strong bows and crossbows, obviously knowing that the armor of the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire is very strong, and if you don't use such strong bows and crossbows, it will be difficult to penetrate the opponent's strong armor.

As soon as the enemy's cavalry units came into range, the archers and musketeers on the side of the Blue Dragon Empire opened fire.

Among them, those heavy cavalry, relying on the double layer of heavy armor, the defense is really good, the arrows and bullets hit them, most of them only splashed a little spark on the armor, but they were not able to penetrate the defense of their double heavy armor.

But the light cavalry was different, and as the arrows and bullets fell, a large number of men and horses fell at once.

Those light cavalry of the Hanhai Empire also knew that their own defense was not good, after all, in order to maximize the speed advantage of the light cavalry, they only wore a set of leather armor on their bodies. So they kept urging their mounts to speed forward. You want to rush forward as quickly as possible and engage in melee combat with the enemy.

As the distance between the two sides continued to close, even those heavy cavalry could hardly resist the increasingly fierce rain of arrows and bullets.

In particular, the bullets fired by those muskets, the closer the distance, the greater its power is, although the armor of many heavy cavalry has not been completely penetrated, but the armor has also been punched out of obvious depressions, and then the rider on it accidentally failed to stabilize his body, he will be carried by the distance carried by the bullet to directly hit the mount and fall to the ground.

In this situation where the whole army is charging, it falls to the ground, and it is basically no different from death, and the mounts of the comrades who are constantly rushing from the rear will quickly trample it into meat patties.

Suddenly, there was a bang, and several heavy cavalry were blown away, and even the mounts under them, those land monitor lizards with strong bodies, were also blown away, and their stumps and broken arms were blown away.

It turned out that there was a cannon on the side of the Blue Dragon Empire that had been arranged, and the gunner immediately fired a cannonball at the enemies who were rushing in.

However, there were only two or three pieces of artillery that could be deployed so quickly, and it was impossible to form a strong enough firepower to suppress the enemy's charge with almost all of its strength this time.

Braving a hail of bullets, the enemy's light cavalry units were the first to rush within twenty meters of the shield wall.

The side of the Blue Dragon Empire had long been in battle, and the bombardiers immediately threw grenades at these enemy cavalry.

After a series of violent explosions, the light cavalry was immediately blown all over the ground, and only a few horses were lucky enough to avoid the explosion.

Then these surviving enemy cavalry crossed the distance of twenty meters as fast as possible, and jumped hard in front of the shield wall, wanting to jump directly into the opposite military formation and start a killing.

However, as soon as they jumped up on their mounts, a number of sharp spears stabbed out from behind the shield wall, and they stabbed the lucky ones to death at once.

Seeing this situation, the other light cavalry did not dare to rush into the enemy's shield wall, and scattered to both sides, wanting to go around to the flank to see if there was still a chance to break through.

As soon as the light cavalry left, the remaining more than 600 heavy cavalry also rushed up, compared to the small physique of the giant chicken dragon, these land monitor lizards were much larger, even if they did not count the long tail behind them, they were at least three meters long, covered in heavy armor, and had a steel horn as sharp as a razor on their heads, and the knights on their backs were also holding heavy cavalry spears more than four meters long.

In the face of the impact of these big guys, the shield soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire did not dare to be careless, and immediately used the combined attack technique, and the magic patterns on the shield lit up, and the last silver-white huge light shield appeared in front of them.

After those enemy heavy cavalry slammed into the light shield, this light shield was also hit and vibrated constantly, but fortunately, it did not crack, and finally withstood the opponent's first round, and it was also the most violent round of impact.

And once the cavalry is contained in the momentum of this charge, the lethality is not even as good as that of the infantry.

Although it was the first time for the Hanhai Empire to use this class, they also understood this truth, so when those heavy cavalry saw that their charge was blocked, they immediately turned their mounts around one by one, wanting to distance themselves and launch a new round of charge.

But the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire would not give them this opportunity, only to see a hook and sickle spear stretching out from under the shield, hooking the limbs of those land dragons, and then the heavy infantry with long-handled battle axes and heavy halberds slashed towards the heavy cavalry of the Hanhai Empire from above.

Those big countries on the side of Orlan Star have developed all kinds of heavy cavalry, so naturally they also have mature methods to deal with heavy cavalry, and these beginners of the Hanhai Empire can be regarded as seeing this this time and paying expensive tuition.

In less than a minute, all the more than 600 cavalry had been slashed, leaving only a pile of mutilated corpses on the ground.

Seeing the heavy cavalry unit that they had spent a lot of energy and financial resources to build collapsed like this, the generals of the Hanhai Empire felt distressed and bleeding.

However, the battle was not over at this time, and if they could not break through the enemy lines and destroy the artillery, they would all have to die afterwards.

Therefore, they can only endure the grief in their hearts and continue to command the army to rush forward one after another.

This time, the first to rush to the front of the battle is a group of javelinmen armed with shields and short swords, carrying a large bag of javelins on their backs, this kind of javelinmen is quite numerous in the Hanhai Empire, in the naval battle, this kind of army is also very powerful, when the two warships gradually approached, ready to jump gang battle, these guys guys use their javelins, to those close enemy troops to come to a few rounds of fierce javelin rain strikes.

At such short distances, javelins are much more armor-piercing than bows and arrows, often inflicting heavy damage on the enemy at once, and greatly demoralizing the enemy, and then they rush forward with their shields and slash with their short swords, and the enemy army is often routed.

Although they were not on the ship now, these javelinmen of the Hanhai Empire also threw a large rain of javelins at the enemy troops on the opposite side as usual.

Seeing this, the shield soldiers of the Qinglong Empire also hurriedly resisted the shield, and after a clanging impact, most of the javelins were blocked by the solid and thick tower shields, and a small number of javelins that passed through the gaps in the shields basically did not cause any effective damage to the soldiers of the Qinglong Empire in the rear, after all, the armor they are wearing now is at least the extraordinary armor of the Yellow Order! This level of attack still cannot break the defense.

As the saying goes, the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire quickly threw back a large number of javelins and throwing axes at each other, which were mixed with a lot of grenades.

In the violent explosion, those javelinmen of the Hanhai Empire really wanted to shout that the opponent didn't talk about martial virtues, they just threw some javelins, but the other party threw out a grenade that would explode, how could they bear it!

But these javelinmen were not the worst, but the pikemen who came after were the worst.

Because at this time, more than a dozen of those primitive cast guns had also been pushed to the front of the formation, and they had already been loaded with shotguns.

With the sound of a huge cannon, a large area of steel balls was launched, almost sweeping all the positions in the first hundred meters of the formation.

Those pikemen of the Hanhai Empire didn't have a chance to shoot at all, so they were hit by the dense steel balls that shot head-on, and their whole bodies continued to surge, and they fell to the ground screaming.

In addition, more field artillery has also been put in place, and a burst of bullets has also landed among the crossbowmen of the Hanhai Empire, blowing up a large number of crossbowmen.

Those generals of the Hanhai Empire looked at the soldiers beside them who were blown up by artillery, and they couldn't help but resentful that their Emperor Majesty was too conservative, obviously they had already imitated a batch of firearms, but they did not equip their troops, so that they could only use cold weapons to fight the enemy.

But this cold weapon is really unfair to a hot weapon! This scene looked less like a battle, more like a one-sided slaughter.

In fact, this is indeed almost the same as a massacre, the 200,000 Hanhai Empire army, after leaving the city, fought fiercely with the enemy for less than half an hour, and lost more than half, and a miserable corpse can be seen everywhere on the ground, and the soldiers who came later will slip and fall from time to time because of the slippery blood on the ground, and then under the urging of the officers, they will rush up numbly and continue to die.

The previous battle with the Blue Dragon Empire made the Hanhai Empire realize that its human soldiers' fighting will was indeed a bit poor. Therefore, in order to be able to control these soldiers and prevent them from fleeing too quickly on the battlefield, the Hanhai Empire specially controlled the families of those soldiers this time, and once someone became a deserter, the family members in the rear would be immediately killed.

Therefore, although the soldiers of the Hanhai Empire had been beaten to the bottom of their morale at this time, in order to save their families' lives, they could still only charge towards the enemy formation with a blank expression.

Until, airships appeared above them and dropped bombs from above.

After a bombardment from the air, the remaining troops of the enemy army were thrown into chaos, and the cavalry and chariot troops of the Blue Dragon Empire, which had already surrounded the two flanks of the enemy, also immediately charged towards the enemy.

The soldiers of the Hanhai Empire, whose morale had long been gone, and their formations were still blown up, had no resistance to this, and they were quickly cut and surrounded by the heavy cavalry and chariot troops that came from the attack.

Then a large number of infantry from the Blue Dragon Empire also rushed forward and began to eat up these enemy troops that had been divided and surrounded one by one.

A Hanhai Empire officer who had been knocked unconscious barely regained a trace of consciousness amid the shouts of his own guards, and just happened to see a group of soldiers being chased and run over by the enemy's wild boar chariot, and in the blink of an eye, they became a bloody corpse.

"Defeated again!" After spitting out this sentence weakly, this Hanhai Empire officer, who was still loyal to the Sea Dragon Emperor, in order not to be captured by the enemy army, used the only strength he had left to pull out the long sword at his waist and kill himself.

Seeing this, many of the guards beside him also committed suicide directly, only a few of them began to silently collect the corpses of their companions, and then after a group of infantry from the Blue Dragon Empire rushed over, they directly dropped their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.

For these surrendered enemies, the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire did not attack again, after all, their military discipline was extremely strict, and it had been repeatedly emphasized that in order to liberate this central continent as soon as possible, it was necessary to unite all forces that could be united, and it was absolutely impossible to kill prisoners of war indiscriminately.
