Chapter 471: The Only Chance of Life
Whining~
When the loud horn sounded, all the panicked soldiers fell silent and looked to the west.
It was from there that the sound of the trumpet came, and it was the command to form a formation.
The people who can escape all the way from the Duchy of Alban's mansion here, except for the vassal team, are all elite legions, and most of them are elite knights, so hearing this horn is like finding the backbone, and the heart is naturally calm.
"Your Excellency the Earl has an order, all the infantry will go to the west to form a formation, and all the cavalry will go to the west to prepare for the first wave of charge!"
"All vassals go to the flanks and take charge of the auxiliary attack! If anyone dares to retreat from the battle, those who do not obey the military orders will be executed on the spot! ”
When the horn sounded, hundreds of cavalry in the army kept wandering and shouting orders to deliver orders, and they were none other than Alice's Rose Knights.
Having received such a clear order, all the soldiers began to assemble in an orderly manner towards the west.
The Earls and the Knights of the King's Command also went to the forefront of the west under the leadership of their respective captains, preparing for the first wave of charge.
When the armies of the two principalities barely formed their positions, the orc armies were already within four hundred meters of them.
"Knights, strike!"
"Kill!"
With Alice's order, the horn of the charge was sounded, and the elite knights of more than 5,000 people did not hesitate to urge the war horses and rushed towards the orcs in front of them.
Roar!
Hiss!
The distance of 400 meters was just enough for the cavalry to raise the war horse to the optimal speed, and the two torrents of cavalry and orcs suddenly collided together in the next moment, and suddenly people neighed and beasts roared.
Although the orcs were poorly armed and equipped, they had a clear racial advantage, and their tall erect erection was even taller than that of their war horses.
When the cavalry in the front row charged and crashed into the ranks of orcs at full speed, after knocking over two or three orcs in a row, the speed of the war horse immediately slowed down, and the orcs on the side also seized the opportunity, and began to smash the knight and the war horse with a stone hammer and stone axe, and suddenly the war horse and the knight were smashed to the ground and died directly.
When the orcs had dealt with the cavalry in front, the human cavalry at the mouth rushed again, without the slightest hesitation due to the tragic condition of their teammates.
As the cavalry increased, the orc ranks were gradually opened up some gaps, and soon more than 5,000 elite knights chiseled through the orc ranks and rushed to the rear.
Although it cut through the orc ranks, the knights also paid the price of a quarter of the casualties, and more than a thousand men and horses were lost in this round of charge alone.
As for the orcs, although the team was chiseled, the casualties were not many, only four or five hundred orcs were killed, and the loss was less than that of the Knights.
These orcs were also obviously battle-hardened, and even more ferocious, and after the knights rushed to kill, instead of being timid, they accelerated their charge under the orders of their respective leaders, and rushed straight into the armies of the two principalities.
They knew that as long as they rushed into the human army, the human cavalry would be of no use.
"Ike, I'll leave it to you! Shoot at your own time! ”
Alice knew very well that she didn't know about muskets and artillery, so she directly asked Ike and the others to judge the time of the attack for themselves.
"Yes, sir!"
Ike replied respectfully, then mentally estimated the distance of the orcs.
"Fire!"
As the orcs roared and rushed to a position more than one hundred and fifty meters in front of the army, Ike gave an order.
Thundered!
As a puff of white smoke rose, countless projectiles the size of pigeon's eggs shot out from the running tube and hit the center of the orc team.
……
When the armies of the two principalities were about to engage with the orcs, Gervais's battle circle began to become difficult.
Not only did Charter's side have the advantage of numbers, but there were also five magicians who unleashed magic that Lawrence had never seen before, which made a kind of golden knight constrained.
Lawrence, Gust, and Hayden not only have more than one enemy, but they are also the focus of those magicians, which makes the battle situation stalemate.
And Gervais is now surrounded by a group of silver knights and noble heirs, these are the same people who have just rebelled.
"You're Gervais! You can't blame us for the current situation, hehe, if you want to blame it, you don't know how to make trade-offs, and you don't have self-knowledge! ”
"Gervais! I advise you to surrender obediently! If we wait for us to do it, we'll break at least both of your legs! ”
Gervais was surrounded by four or five silver knights, as well as a few counts' heirs, among whom Lenny was among them.
Lenny's father, the Earl of Cowan, defected to Charter, and Lenny naturally surrendered with those vassals.
They didn't have the ability to deal with the Golden Knight, but to catch Gervais felt that they could take the opportunity to show their loyalty.
Although Gervais showed his power as Harry a few days ago, it was only one time and another.
At that time, he was fighting alone, and his strength was all bronze knights, but now there are four or five silver knights, no matter how powerful Gervais is, it can only be captured.
"Lenny, yes! Don't be angry when I say it, in fact, I sent someone to burn the camp you are in the buffer zone, and I also sent someone to rob your convoy! ”
"What? It's you? How can it be! ”
Lenny was stunned when he heard Gervais's words, obviously unable to believe that Gervais had done it.
At first, he did suspect the Jones family, but the Jones family did not know about the existence of the camp before, and the woman who lurked beside him had long been planted by his side, and it was later confirmed that the woman was his eldest brother's spy.
So the suspicion of the Jones family became smaller.
In addition, Lenny later collected the movements of the Jones family, and found that during that time, everything was normal in Fort Rose, and no troops were mobilized to Gervais's territory.
So in the end, Lenny always thinks that destroying his camp and stealing the Mithril Man is his big brother.
"Haha! Nothing is impossible, and thanks to your eldest brother, your eldest brother also sent people to prepare for the robbery! In the end, when they are almost done, they will be cheaper than me! ”
Gervais smiled, he was not afraid of Lenny and the others, the reason why he was still here with them was that Gervais had been paying attention to the battle situation of the Lord of the North.
At the same time, he was thinking about how to find a way to survive in this desperate situation.
After thinking about it, Gervais felt that there was only one way to make himself and others desperate.
Either catch Chase and threaten the people in the city to open the gates.
Either defeat Chart's masters, make Chase feel threatened and retreat to the city on his own, and wait for the moment the city gate opens to find a way to grab the city gate.
So the only hope at the moment lies in Charter.
But what Gervais could think of, Lawrence, Hayden, and other scheming superiors didn't know.
They are now risking their lives to fight the last trapped beasts, and they have such an idea.
But how difficult it was to catch Charter, they thought they would find a glimmer of life.
But only a few minutes after the battle broke out, they realized that they and the others had underestimated the horror of the magician.
Without these magicians, Charter's Golden Knights would have had a chance to fight even if they were twice as many as them.
But now that there are these five magicians, the strange and unpredictable magic not only completely suppresses them, but also makes them frequently encounter life and death crises.
"To open the breach, those five magicians must be dealt with!"
This is the only thing Gervais has in mind at the moment, so while inking with Lenny and the others, Gervais is racking his brains to come up with a solution to those magicians!
Although the physical fitness of the mage is not as good as that of the knight of the title, as long as there is enough distance and caution, it is more difficult to kill them than to kill Chat.
What's more, I still want to kill five at once.
Their magic shield had been tested, and Lawrence's golden peak knight's sword slashing at it only made their magic shield stir for a moment.
"It is necessary to be assassinated by surprise by their side! And fast! ”
