230: Khan's Guard
The barbarian warriors of the Golden Horde grew up on horseback, and they were natural cavalrymen with superb horsemanship. And the Khan Guards are the elite of them, all of them are the best warriors in a hundred, with extremely firm will and rich combat experience, ruthless in the face of the enemy, and majestic on the steppe! In this war, the Khan Guards have never attacked before, and the Pella warriors have heard of their great reputation but have never really understood their strength, and now the other side is clamoring to launch an astonishing cluster charge, and its momentum is as sharp as an avalanche.
The Cretan Elven Archers and the Corinthian Moon Elves fired arrows one after another, raining down on the cavalry, causing a large number of casualties among the enemy, but the effect was not as good as before. On the one hand, after the battle just now, the elven archers have begun to feel tired, and their power has also decreased. On the other hand, the Khan Guards are extremely elite, and even magic arrows with Po armor-piercing effects can't easily penetrate their protective fighting qi. At the same time, its horses galloped much faster than their infantry, and the elven archers had only time to shoot a rain of arrows before they were about to rush within the range of their compound bows.
The warriors of the Agrion Light Shield Regiment gritted their teeth, and with the Peonian magic spear in hand, they swung their strong right arms and threw them in the direction of the cavalry group. A large number of heavy spears rushed into the sky, indicating the enemy with a chilling momentum! Seeing that the heavy spears were about to shoot into the cavalry group, they did not expect that at this moment, the Khan Guards suddenly let out a shout, and they turned their horses' heads sharply on the way forward, and instead galloped around a huge circle! Most of the Ornia magic heavy spears thrown by the Agrian Light Shield Corps missed, and they were inserted in the open space in front of the Khan Guards' circle. Although it caused a powerful explosion and raging fire, the damage to the enemy was very limited!
This scene of thousands of troops suddenly changing formations in unison is extremely spectacular, and it would certainly not have been possible without years of rigorous training. The Pera warriors felt nothing but the earth tremble. An uncontrollable sense of fear welled up in his heart. At this time, the barbarian warriors of the Khan Guard twisted their waists and raised their compound bows as they ran, and aimed their arrows at the Pera position in front of them!
"Raise your shield!!" Peraander couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw the scene, and hurriedly ordered in a loud voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, a rain of arrows was shot from the enemy's circle, and in the blink of an eye the powerful arrows flew to the position of Pera's army, and the warriors who did not have time to raise their shields were immediately knocked to the ground, and even those who had already raised their shields fell to the ground due to the dense arrows shooting through the gaps. The screams came and went!
The two sides continued to shoot at each other, with Pella's elven archers defended by trenches, while the Khan's guards of the Golden Horde relied on constant movement to dodge arrows. Coupled with the superiority in numbers, the two sides fell into a stalemate and turned into a war of attrition.
Perriande, the Grand Prince of Corinth, was anxious, and the current situation seemed to be a draw. But in fact, simplicity has dragged on for a long time. It is more and more disadvantageous for the side of Pera who broke through. I don't know what the situation is with Eumenes, who is intercepting the enemy's pursuit in the rear, but it is estimated that it is not much better, and it may be very difficult to break through the encirclement smoothly if it continues like this, how did the reinforcements and the floating fleet in the south do it, why has it not been seen until now?!
At this moment, the Shinra army, which had withdrawn not long ago, regrouped and formed more than a dozen phalanxes, outflanking from both sides of the cavalry circle. The Pella warriors were all feeling the pressure of the enemy's numerical superiority. Their faces turned pale, and they could barely keep a tie in the battle with the Khan's guards. Once the enemy infantry is surging, it will definitely be impossible to resist!
Several generals beside Perian also sensed that the battle situation was unfavorable, and stepped forward to advise: "Your Highness, it is not possible to continue like this, you can't continue to defend, find a way to bypass it!"
Peraende gritted his teeth and said: "If you go around now, it will be tantamount to exposing the flanks to the enemy, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"But ......"
While everyone was arguing, a dull roar suddenly sounded in the distant sky, and then the sun in the sky seemed to dim all of a sudden. Everyone hurriedly turned around and looked up, only to see a large group of floating warships appear in the sky behind them in the morning sun!
"It's the Central Floating Fleet!!Our air support is coming!" a Pera general shouted loudly, and for a moment the cheers spread throughout the Pera position.
Seeing that the situation had changed, the Shinra infantry in front couldn't help but stop their advance, and stood in place one by one with frightened faces, not knowing what to do. The central Khan Guards reacted much faster than them, and as soon as the floating fleet appeared in the sky, they had already let out a shout, and they all turned around and quickly retreated!
At this moment, the floating fleet suddenly flashed a dazzling light, and a large number of magical rays of lightning swept through the sky and bombarded the enemy's formation! A deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and the flames instantly engulfed a large part of the Holy Roman army that had no time to escape, and the screams and cries for help resounded in the sky! Only the Khan guards of the Golden Horde suffered relatively few losses because of their timely retreat.
Watching the dense enemy phalanx crush in the blink of an eye under heavy artillery fire, Perian finally relaxed the tension he had been holding. At this moment, a herald ran up from the rear and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, Your Excellency Marshal Eumenis has ordered me to come and report to you that our army has been repelled by the enemy's pursuing force with the support of the floating fleet, and Your Excellency Marshal will soon come to meet you with his troops!"
"Very good!" Prince Corinth ordered: "Assault the whole army!
At the same time, Elrens, Cleo, Doss and the others stood on the broad deck of the floating carrier Gaia, looking at the hellish situation in front of the enemy in front of them, the evil dragon smiled and said: "It seems that Attila is very good at cooperating, and before our floating fleet began to attack, their army ran away! The commander of Holy Rome can't stop it!"
Cleo turned his head to look at the evil dragon, and suddenly asked: "I heard that the princess of the Golden Horde, Hulan, is sixteen years old, known as the pearl of the grassland, and this time she also followed her brother Wang on the expedition, did you see her when you went to negotiate last night, is she really beautiful?"
