Chapter 253: Upheaval 8
The battlefield chosen by Ed was far away from the plains, with a mountain wall on one side, a dense forest on the other, and a gentle hillside in the middle, which was easier to walk.
However, the 30,000-strong army led by Eddard was on one side of the battle, and the commander of the combined forces of Ingier and Burgundy, although he had not realized the importance of the site for the battle, cautiously chose to stop.
But Ed's side shamelessly sent countless scattered cavalry to the enemy's front to shout and curse, shooting bows and arrows at them from a distance, a series of provocative actions made the knights in the team angry, and at this time the war was going on, it was basically the young guys who could not fearlessly respond to Ingier's call to the front.
In their twenties, they revered heroes, and the lessons of the losers in their ears could not shake their determination, and they longed for a powerful charge against the enemy, as recorded in the poem.
"Go and pass on my orders, no one is allowed to attack without permission, our mission is to hold back the enemy, and wait for the Burgundian reinforcements to come up behind to consume the opponent's strength and then make another move...... Who is that? How dare you rush out, who gave him the authority to do this?" The commander of the coalition forces, a fairly reliable Ingier knight was announcing his decision to the heralds, but he didn't think that in front of him, three or five knights suddenly couldn't help but rush out of the battle line.
The heralds were also dumbfounded, and at that moment, seeing that someone had set an example, the rest of the young knights, who had already been inflamed by the enemy's insulting words, also acted, and they followed behind a few of the forerunners and charged.
The commander only had remorse in his mind at the moment, if the enemy had attacked any later, he would have been able to teach these cubs what discipline was with enough training, but at this time, he could only make mistakes. Lead the rest of the hesitant knights to attack.
The first few leading boys rushed to the roland cavalry, and cut off their hateful faces with their weapons, and the latter could not escape at all, but could only watch the enemy behind them catch up and kill themselves.
The two sides are not so far inferior in horsepower alone, but the knights of Ingill are blessed with psionic energy, and the ones sent by Ed are not the elite of his own cavalry. It's just an ordinary fighter.
A successful blow, when the enemy's blood was sprinkled on these young knights, they were eager to look up to the sky and roar, suddenly the sound of thousands of horses galloping behind them, as soon as they turned around and saw the army that came with them, they were happy, originally just angry as if they came out to kill these few eyesore guys and went back, the commander at most scolded him, but also increased morale, but did not expect that the chance to lead the whole army to charge.
Discover this. Several daring knights glanced at each other, the blood on each other's freshly stained bodies was still steaming out in the cold air, and one of them licked the corner of his mouth, and without hesitation, turned his horse's head, and took the lead in the charge.
"The enemy is not a big deal, it's just an ordinary ant, today I will be a hero!"
The Ingill knights gradually came together, and the charging formation, which had been somewhat chaotic, gradually regained discipline under the constraints of the commander's efforts. Psionic energy erupted from them and came together. Like a huge beast, it pounced on Roland's army.
No matter how many times you see this psychic knight charging collectively, it will make people's hearts surging and their blood boiling, but when the direction of the other party's charge is you, there is also a huge fear.
Ed was in the middle of the army, and he could hear the sound of the soldiers next to him trying to swallow their saliva and the sound of their hearts rattling.
"Stable. Don't panic, I'm here with you!" The enemy at the front was still a lot away, but Ed had to activate his spiritual energy in advance, turning into a huge spiritual flame and rising into the sky to announce his existence, and loudly used words to inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers around him.
It's not that his army has suddenly deteriorated. Instead, Ed deliberately dropped the elite to the flanks, and put the weakest part in the center to mix with the tenacious guards and the Holy Maidens, and in order to avoid collapse at the touch of a button, he himself was willing to take risks to sit here.
The power of the star spirit left in the stone statue by Deria is limited, and he himself can bless up to 100 people, so Ed has to use a surprise move.
Seeing the predetermined signal, the troops on both sides of Roland slowly pressed forward, while their own central army did not move, and the entire formation formed a concave shape, just waiting for the other party to rush in.
Following the tactics of the original Delia, but Ed did not have the strength of the other party, Roland finally the warriors in the front row just came into contact with the Ingill knight and immediately fell in the next row, wrapped in psionic sharp weapons to slash the flesh of the soldiers without hindrance, and even the war horses could ram them away wantonly, or trample the soldiers to death with iron hooves.
The battle situation instantly became a one-sided slaughter, and the soldiers without the protection of the star spirit could not stop the surging psionic knights, like wheat in the sky, under the raging wind, large swaths fell in unison, blood and human stumps flew everywhere, and broken weapons were trampled into the flesh and blood.
After a while, only Ed and a small circle of personal soldiers around him were still in the entire central front area, and the Ingir knights firmly surrounded them, and they all knew that the only enemy with psionic power was the commander of the other party, and he would reap the greatest glory of the battle if he took it, and the ordinary ants who surrounded him were not worth mentioning at all.
The commander of the coalition forces was also excited, and his mouth let out a strange cry of unknown meaning like those hairy knights who had just entered the battlefield, and he found that reality always liked to joke with himself, and he was still firing for disobeying the command just now, which would have begun to thank fate.
The enemy is not as difficult to shake as the rumors in private, and it is easy to tear through the opponent's defenses, which is simply easier than killing chickens, and the glory that is now at his fingertips is about to be won by him, think about how many Ingier knights have harvested in front of this guy, although the official tries to hide his existence, but his reputation can be spread among the knights.
Eddard the Slayer, a guy who has never failed on the battlefield, has defeated and killed hundreds of knights of the same level in battles, and can create miracles in the face of higher-level silver knights, subverting the inherent concept of psionics, and is an unreasonable existence.
Today, the soldiers around this guy were killed one by one by his own side without any effort, and he himself was surrounded by a circle of Ingier knights, and he was about to be trapped and died here, can you believe it......?
