Chapter 180: The Western Expedition (A Shot of Ecstasy)
As the order was handed down, Claude personally led the cavalry battalion to rush up, the two were only five kilometers apart, and after a while, the guard battalion and the cavalry on the opposite side were mixed up, and Harold's 1st Banner Regiment also reacted quickly, and when the Guard Battalion was dispatched, the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Banner Regiment made a detour to the north of the opponent.
According to Harold's meaning, he wanted to create such an illusion that the other party felt that he was coming from the north, in this case, even if the other party was allowed to run, it would only be temporary, anyway, the main purpose of their operation this time was not the cavalry in front of them, but the entire forward army of the western expedition.
Five kilometers, the infantry quickly pressed up in less than half an hour, the third battalion was on the left, the second battalion was on the right, because they had to make a detour to both sides, so compared to the first battalion in the middle, they needed to react faster.
Fortunately, the cavalry of the 16th Corps was indeed on the opposite side, and if it was part of the 27th Corps, maybe Claude would have a tough battle to fight, but against the 16th Corps, the infantry was like that, and it is conceivable that the cavalry would not be much better.
Claude thought so, but he seemed to underestimate his opponent, and he was able to march here in two days after the destruction of the 16th Corps, during which he even broke through the cavalry blockade of Claude's corps, and the storm that night, this army did not seem to be simple.
Indeed, although they all belong to the 16th Corps, the infantry in the corps will not play much role, after all, there is no need to fight, many people in the 16th Corps can't even pull their bows, but the cavalry flag regiment of the 16th Corps is different, as an independent flag regiment semi-independent of the 16th Corps, his target is bandits.
Although it is not often to go to trouble with bandits. But occasionally teach some disobedient guys. The soldiers of the Independence Regiment were still glad to do so.
"Forward!"
Harold led the way. Mercedes was at the front of the team, he led a battalion of the frontal attack of the flag regiment, although it was a battalion-level establishment, but the Claude regiment was originally a big man, his first flag regiment was the main force, and the first battalion was a reinforced battalion, so that the layers were counted, Harold was followed by thousands of people.
Four infantry brigades. Each infantry brigade has ten hundred-man troops, and such a powerful force is used as a frontal attack, although the opponent is cavalry, it is estimated that it will not be weak.
The more than 10,000 main forces of the First Banner Regiment were dispatched with all their strength this time, but as for the remaining nearly 10,000 servants and logistics support personnel, they all stayed behind honestly.
Although Harold is older than Claude and his cultivation is not as high as that of the other party, he has also reached the seventh level of martial arts, and he is among the ten thousand horse army. Still invincible, a riding spear danced with gusts of energy. Quickly reap the lives of the opposing cavalry!
As for Claude, he has already blocked the place where the other party fled, although there are only hundreds of cavalry around him, but at the beginning he tightly bit the cavalry of the Independent Banner Regiment, originally the Independent Banner Regiment wanted to destroy the other party, but it seemed to find a large group of infantry in the distance, so he wanted to run away.
But Claude let them get their wish, and did not dwell too much, taking advantage of the panic of the independent flag group, he had already bypassed the right side of the flag group.
Subsequently, the first battalion was already in front of the independent flag regiment.
Seeing the other infantry arrive, the independent flag regiment suddenly didn't know what to do, the flag officer Glenner looked at Harold who rushed to the front, and suddenly frowned, in the Guran continent, the commander of the army often rushed to the front, and Harold's dress was also revealing his identity.
"Kill me! Kill that man!"
He shouted loudly, and the cavalry beside him immediately obeyed the order, and in a moment, more than a dozen cavalry had already rushed towards Harold.
"Humph!"
To look at Grenner not far away, Harold snorted coldly, slammed on the stirrup, and ran towards the other party with his gun!
Around Harold, he also had more than a dozen personal guards, seeing Harold move, they also wanted to follow, but there were too many cavalry around, they couldn't separate, although there were many infantry behind, but they couldn't keep up with Harold's speed, only to see Harold one person and one shot, facing the enemy's Chinese army and rushed straight over!
Harold's cultivation is profound, but his martial arts skills are not exquisite, relying on the experience summed up in the battle array, it is also unstoppable, sometimes I see him simply struggling to blow, he can pierce the chests of three people in a row, and the force is not unpopular!
More than a dozen soldiers in front of him raised their long swords, just towards Harold, but they saw that he was not in a hurry, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he looked at the person who commanded the independent flag regiment in the distance, at this moment, a person suddenly rushed out on Harold's right, raised his sword and killed him, Harold's eyes did not move, only with the vibration of the air around him, his hands turned suddenly, and a huge wound was suddenly cut on the soldier's chest.
Harold stared straight ahead, without a hint of expression, and only after he had run a few more meters did the soldier he had killed fall off his horse.
At this time, the dozen or so cavalrymen at the beginning were less than three meters away from him, and between the lightning and flint, Harold followed the strength of the hand just now, and a burst of martial energy burst out from his body!
With the rapid burst of martial energy, I saw that Harold's arms showed a faint silver color, in this army of ten thousand horses, like the god of war, the faint silver brilliance was only instantly integrated into the spear, and then, the spear flashed, it was several zhang long, and the soldier in front of him was hit by the sudden appearance of the gun, and he was killed!
Although this move is not his strongest attack, it is not far off, because Harold still has a trace of dark energy in the riding spear, so that he can take the enemy by surprise.
Nearly four long spears continued to swallow, and when the dozen or so soldiers arrived in front of him, Harold waved his right arm suddenly, and the spear that shone with a faint silver-white light came out of his hand, like a giant feathered arrow, heading straight for Glenner.
With the spear shot, Harold did not hesitate, and easily pulled out the long sword at his waist, but in the blink of an eye, the two soldiers who came in front of him were cut throats by his sword, and the long sword was not stained with blood, this is not that he used force to remove the blood on the sword, but at a very fast speed, let the enemy's blood. It's too late to get on your own sword!
See spears coming on. At this time, it is too late to hide. Grenner's momentum suddenly rose, looking at the surging martial energy, it was actually a martial artist level five level of cultivation, if he broke out with all his strength, coupled with the precious protective gear he was carrying, it was not impossible to block a full force blow equivalent to the fifth level of a martial artist!
I saw that his whole body was shrouded in pale yellow brilliance in the blink of an eye, and it was actually an earth-attribute martial ability known for its defense. Indeed, with his strength, and relying on some life-saving means, it is not too difficult to block the spear that swallows.
However, he didn't expect that the spear's attack was not just what it looked like, what was really powerful was the dark energy that Harold left in the gun.
With the arrival of the long sword, Glenner retreated slightly, his arms crossed in front of his chest, and his entire upper body was shrouded in yellow light. Even around him, the earth elemental in the air was constantly surging towards him. It's just that the earth element in the air can't really be used by him.
When his body retreated just now, he had already thought of this, if it was on a horse, his defense would not reach the strongest, the cultivator of the earth element, only by standing on the earth, could he continue to gain strength, although the power was not pure, and it also had a great impact on future progress, but at this critical moment, he couldn't care so much, saying that it was too late, the spear was in the air in front of him, and countless earth elements were frantically surging around, and a dark yellow shield was suddenly formed in front of him.
Using the elements to form attack and defense, this can be done above the third level of the martial artist, but the effect is not outstanding, and Glenner uses the cultivation of the fifth level of the martial artist to condense the elemental defense, if it is an ordinary strong attack of the same level, it may be able to resist one point, but Harold is two levels higher than him, and the difference of two levels is enough to determine the result!
Glenner's eyes stared at the spear in front of him, only to hear the sound of 'ding', the moment the spear collided with the elemental shield, there was a metal crunch, but there was no time to listen to this pleasant sound, what made Grenner's eyes widen was that the spear seemed to be unblocked, and the spear shot out again!
This time, Grenner had to rely on his body's energy to resist alone, and when the elemental shield broke, on his crossed arms, a ring of energy fluctuations spread out infinitely, and then spread out in all directions.
If it is really a peer attack, this method is indeed the most effective, as his energy fluctuates, it can direct the enemy's attack around, thereby weakening the opponent's attack.
But this attack on Harold's spear was useless, the spear's spear was blocked again, and slowly merged into the body of the spear, seeing such a scene, Glenner suddenly frowned, because he had encountered this situation just now, and began to touch the elemental shield, and the spear was also retracted into the body of the spear, but only in an instant, the re-gushing spear broke his elemental shield.
Grenner didn't dare to continue thinking about it, if it was really the same as just now, then his life would definitely be confessed here, blocking the spear that had been in the air, he was also very struggling, and fine beads of sweat slowly oozed from his forehead.
It's extremely slow, but it's actually extremely fast, from Harold's spear to Grenner's elemental shield shattering, it's only a matter of moments!
"Drink!"
Grenner seemed to be unable to withstand the strong pressure, and suddenly shouted violently, and as his voice sounded, a fist-sized ball of earth energy light went directly towards the gun!
Although Harold was in the middle of the battlefield, he also kept an eye on Grenner's movements, and when he saw the energy that Glenner used, the corners of Harold's mouth suddenly turned up slightly, and he secretly thought to himself: "If you are a sixth-level earth element cultivator of the martial arts, then this blow may be able to break most of my attacks, now...... Huh!"
Smiling in his heart, Harold ignored the cavalry of the 16th Corps in front of him, although he began to kill the enemy with a spear, but it was not his favorite, as a general, it seemed more advantageous to use a long weapon, but he thought that the long sword was the real destination of the knight!
If his idea was heard by the heroic Hurd the Great, then the famous Lance Emperor 800 years ago would have to come out and fight him!
Sure enough, after Harold turned his attention back to the battlefield, on Glenner's side, a violent explosion rang out.
Grenner had been reduced to countless shards, completely disappearing into the air of Andus.
Death, sometimes so near!
Originally, the pure earth energy light cluster had already stopped the spear attack, and at that time, Glenner's heart was slightly relieved, this energy light cluster was composed of the origin element in his body. As long as such an attack is launched. Then it will be extremely difficult for him to improve his cultivation in the future.
But before he could react. The change of the spear was highlighted again, I saw that the whole spear was slowly shrinking, seeing the spear become smaller, the boulder in Grenner's heart was completely put down, he thought that this was a sign that the energy in the spear was about to run out, but he didn't know that this was a sign of the spear's life!
The speed at which the long gun was reduced at the beginning was not very fast, but in the blink of an eye. The battle of Xu Chang's spear was only about a foot long, but this was not over, until it was reduced to an inch in length, and the change slowly stopped, looking at the thin silver needle in front of him, although there was no longer the slightest appearance of riding a spear, but Grenner's heart felt an extremely dangerous aura.
But the silver needle didn't give him much time to think about it, and it easily broke through Grenner's defenses, and in a flash of silver light, it was already submerged in Grenner's body.
This qiē is a qiē. It all happened in a very short period of time, Harold's blow to the extreme. , but successfully killed the flag officer of the opponent's flag group, this brave force, suddenly made his own morale even stronger!
Indeed, the riding spear and the gun are seven meters long, and they also emit a dazzling silver light, and on the battlefield, it is impossible for people to find out.
Looking at the morale of the warrior behind him, Harold smiled slightly, what he wanted was this effect, otherwise, killing a guy who was just a martial artist level 5, would he still need to be so excited?
The cavalry of the Sixteenth Corps had no way to escape, the exit to the west had been blocked by Claude with his personal guard battalion, and to the east was Harold's brave division, and there were strong enemies on both the north and south sides!
The flag officer was killed in a second, and the morale of the cavalry of the 16th Corps was suddenly low, and several battalion officers were not only lacking in cultivation, but also had poor leadership skills, and in the north, the first battalion, including the battalion officers, had been surrounded by Harold's second battalion, and finally rushed out a few soldiers and wanted the people of the second and third battalions to rescue, but the two battalions were too busy to take care of their own side, so there were still troops to rescue the first battalion.
Regarding this result, several people from the first battalion suddenly smiled bitterly, it seems that this is really 'a big disaster is coming, and they are flying separately'.
In fact, the current situation of the 16th Corps, there may be a possibility of breaking through if they are merged together, if their flag officer is not shot by Harold, then maybe under the leadership of Glenner, they can still break out of a gap, but now that Glenner is dead, the second and third battalions are also fighting separately, and there is no soldier to rescue the besieged battalion.
Seeing that their pleas for help were fruitless, the soldiers of the first battalion looked at the countless infantry around them, and then looked at each other, and then rushed towards the north again, they were going to rescue their commander and their brothers!
Although Harold rushed into the enemy's middle army, the battalion behind him was a battalion step by step, and what they had to do was to completely eat the cavalry of the 16th Corps, the swords and swords, which were their teeth!
Just as Harold was fighting in the middle of the army, he saw that Claude had already led his cavalry battalion through it, and when the two were tens of meters apart, they both saw each other.
Claude's arrival conveyed a pleasant news, proving that the 2nd and 3rd Battalions had wrapped up the entire flag regiment of the other party, and the 16th Corps had slipped through the net and still fallen into the hands of Claude's Corps.
Among the thousands of opponents, most of them lost most of the centaurs in less than an hour, and it was only a matter of time before they solved the rest, Claude divided the cavalry of the Sixteenth Corps into two halves from west to east, and followed Claude's figure, Harold also turned back to the east, and after a while, they killed the enemy's middle army again, and then, the soldiers of the entire battalion were even more boiling, holding heavy swords or long knives in their hands, and they were full of strength to meet the enemy's cavalry.
"Ping-pong!"
"Hello!"
"Poof!"
In the daytime, the sparks of the weapon impact will not appear, but when the human head hits the ground, the blood sword flying out of the neck is extremely dazzling, and the blood-colored foam spews out along the blood tank, the whole thing is a blood-colored picture!
The shouts of killing, the neighing of horses, and the clash of swords all seem to be 'seen' from this painting. War, it's really coming!
Now, the cavalry of the 16th Corps is rapidly decreasing, and the Claude Corps does not need prisoners, let alone slaves, and on the march, they can only kill!
Those cavalry had been divided into countless pieces, and the first battalion of cavalry had only dozens of horsemen left at this time, and as long as the commander of the second battalion under Harold was willing, he could deal with the other party at any time.
And in other war sites, most of them are like this!
"Tell the order to go down and settle the battle quickly!" Harold said to the herald beside him, sitting on his horse, looking at the herald in front of him.
When he had finished, Claude rode up to him.
"Lord Harold!" Claude smiled.
"Your Excellency!" said Harold with a slight bow.
Looking at Harold in front of him, Claude said: "Your Excellency has made a miraculous achievement this time, and after the war is over, I will definitely personally ask for credit for your lordship!"
"Thank you, Shogun!"
As he spoke, he saw that several groups of men and horses in the distance had begun to clean up the battlefield.
This battle completely annihilated the cavalry banner regiment of the 16th Corps, although their own side also had many losses, but the gain was great, that is thousands of war horses!
Indeed, after this, the strength of the Claude Corps has not decreased, but has also improved a lot, and those war horses are not comparable to ordinary trophies......!
