Under the continuous firing, the infantry coordination of the Herodian was broken up.

The infantry, composed of retainers and yeoman farmers, could not withstand the crossbow blows that pierced through the human body, and they were defeated, and the rest also cowered, and many lay on the ground and did not dare to move.

Now, if the Knights want to break through the enemy formation, there is only one way left to assault frontally.

The straight line between the two points is the closest, if you go around the two wings, not to mention whether there is an ambush, you can't afford to delay the time, and the troops will be scattered.

If the demon army's troops continue to fight and resist the momentum of the cavalry, then the breakthrough will turn into a bloody battle, and the knight's life is expensive, and it can't be wasted like this.

Instead of grinding, it is better to give up your life.

The deputy commander, Karl, bravely led the charge, and after gathering the remaining infantry, let them break through from the other direction to disperse the pressure for the cavalry.

The knights also knew that the situation was at stake, and they reached a consensus in a short period of time, forming a queue like a wall and starting to accelerate in a formation of 100 people.

The neat queue moved, continuing in an inconspicuous "V" shape.

After hearing the centurion's command to "march", the knights still kept their formations aligned, and each horse's hooves maintained a separate rise and fall, with graceful and restrained steps, and slowly advanced, showing a calm and unhurried momentum.

Many crossbow bolts were still firing, but the speeding horses could not stop, and the knights were so close to each other that they could not turn back.

A dozen horses crumbled and overturned, but the team was still advancing.

In front of him was the moat, which had long since become a solid flat land.

The centurion changed his command and ordered the procession to "speed up", and the knights skillfully harnessed their horses, so that the tall horses in armor landed on the ground with their front and rear feet at the same time, and almost at the same time increased their speed, and quickly approached the trench.

The casualties grew, but the horse team continued to march in full order, and occasionally the horses were ahead of the curve, and they were soon controlled by the knights, and gradually returned to the ranks.

The Knights' superb riding skills and calm movements surprised Vincent in the distance.

Hey, don't they all say that the nobles are afraid of death when they fight?

This formation looks quite reckless!

Soon, the knights, who were still advancing with crossbow arrows, came up with a killer weapon.

Some of the horses mounted by two had the sorcerer's staff sticking out from their backs.

With a variety of attack magic, he smashed into the first trench and smashed a large number of skeleton soldiers hiding in it beyond recognition.

Some of the trenches also collapsed, a sign of the success of the earth-based magic technique of earth magic, and some horsemen with superior equestrian skills and courage took the opportunity to step on the newly raised mound of earth in the trenches and cross over the ditches.

Mobile spellcasting is one of the few tactical innovations of the Knights.

Of course, not all of them have such skill and luck, and there are some knights who stumble and roll into the first trench with their horses, and what awaits them is the dilemma of being difficult to stand up, or the ferocious attack of the undead. br>

The skeleton that was not destroyed picked up the spear that was put down at its feet, and directly stabbed the knights and war horses struggling in the trench to death, and many people died in the ditch without even having a chance to get up.

The horses were too fast for the mage to strike a second spell into the trench, causing the thousands of skeletons inside to pick up spears sharpened from wooden sticks and stab the horses above their heads in the abdomen from below.

Because there was no defense under the horse's belly at all, more than fifty war horses were poisoned for a while, and the intestines that were stabbed through the stomach were rotten, and they neighed and fell down after not being able to run a few steps, causing blood to flow all over the ground, which greatly stimulated the ferocity of the monsters.

Of course, the heavy sacrifice was not meaningless, and with the loss of nearly a hundred horses, most of the members of the Order still rushed through the first trench, leaving only the skeletons in the trench who had suffered equally heavy losses in a frenzy, firing a few arrows at the knights who had risen out.

The deputy head of the regiment, Karl, was really lucky, he rushed through the trench first, and due to the cover of magic, no skeletons attacked him, leaving him unscathed

The damaged land has crossed the first hurdle.

The commander, who didn't know what kind of danger was behind him, excitedly waved his sword and let the standard-bearer next to him wave the flag, which encouraged the other surviving knights.

It's just that before they get out of danger, such a high-profile move is inappropriate after all, and soon the fastest group of knights were hit by the long-range fire of the "Khitan Happy Crossbow".

Due to the shortening of the distance, the power of the crossbow arrows was greatly increased, and this time twenty more horses and their masters fell to the ground with arrows.

Hundreds of knights had been lost through the first trench alone, and a third of the knights who had set out before were either killed or wounded, and this heavy loss made Carl tremble, he was not sure whether he should continue to advance, and even developed a fear of the next trench.

However, if you can't continue to charge, what are the losses in front? The high sunk cost made it impossible for the Order to retreat.

The first trench was quickly left behind, and more than three hundred horses rushed through without any damage.

Several centurions gave the order again to "speed up", and the horses that heard this command spread their hooves and immediately became nearly three times faster.

The horse's hind hooves kicked the ground, the front feet landed quickly, the more terrible momentum was unreserved, and a cloud of dust rose from the surface of the ground before the blood had dried, and the knights began to raise their weapons under the mighty noise.

"Attack!"

The crossbow arrows were still powerful, and the speed of hitting was shorter, so that many running horses were almost instantly overturned to the ground, and the people on the horses were pierced by the flying crossbow arrows and thrown off their horses directly, dragged by the stirrups that could not be untied, and let out a miserable wail that made the monsters extremely happy.

However, the galloping of the horses did not stop, and when the fear reached the extreme, the knights were so nervous that they forgot about death for a moment, and when they were so focused that they had no distractions, they had become the shock itself, and a wall of smoke and dust was rushing towards the second trench.

The madness of animals cannot be stopped, the madness of men is unpredictable, and hundreds of fast horses are empty, passing through the rain of arrows, forming a frenzied wave, rolling up dust that makes them looming.

The arrows became sparse, the weapons seemed to be intimidated by them, and the frequency of firing began to decrease.

The Crazy Horses, who had been whipped countless times, were red-eyed, their weight and momentum unstoppable, and what little magic they had left poured down into the next trench, kicking up a few billowing clouds of smoke and fire.

This time, the monsters directly erected nearly seven hundred wooden spears, so that the spears of Rulin stretched out diagonally from the trench, and the wall of flesh and blood hit the wall of spears, and the tsunami-like impact seemed to hit a forest.

+

After just a little stillness, it instantly broke through the outer edge of the forest, and countless brilliant blood-colored red flowers bloomed.

Nearly 100 cavalry disappeared into the charge, leaving a much sparse queue that did not care about the safety of their comrades, but continued to move forward.

However, a sudden change occurred, and the seemingly flat and solid ground in front of the horses suddenly collapsed after the horses' hooves had just touched, swallowing most of the unprepared horses in one gulp.

It turned out that the third trench was not far at all, but was hidden at a close distance.
