Section 361: Decisive Battle 5

Of course, this is just Marvin's hope. In fact, he himself knows that the probability of completing this task, at least for now, is only half. Maybe less than half. Ashrufat may well have died in the chaos or fled in defeat. It would be fine if he retreated to Gaohua City, but if Eshurufat's legs were long enough, he might even escape all the way to Eagle Falcon City.

However, in fact, Marven felt that the first possibility of Ashrufat was far greater than the second. After all, he is a Tzeentch wizard with a knack for seeing people. Ashrufat doesn't look like a man who can run away...... Well, in a way, this man has a special feature - he seems to be very upright on the surface, if not straightforward, but straightforward. But his true thoughts lurk in a corner of his heart. He is a hunter, like a beast of prey adept at attacking. These beasts will always have a fur pattern that they use to hide themselves, allowing them to lurk in inconspicuous corners. It wasn't until they struck that they showed their fangs and claws.

Marven had been cleanly slipped by his claws.

If Ashrufat were to be defeated, he was far more likely to be killed than if he was captured or fled back to Eagle Castle.

Marven knew that sooner or later he would have to walk into Eagle Falcon City - but before that, he still had a lot of work to do, and I am afraid that he would not be able to accomplish this goal in two or three years. Of course, this qiē is all to blame for Ashrufat, and it was he who forced Marven to lose the best result.

As he thought so, he noticed that the sky had cleared up a little.

This battle has really been fought for too long. Ashrufat struggled tenaciously and fought him for a long time like a big fish on a hook. However, in the end, there was a result, the fish had already taken the bait, and it could no longer escape. Yes, as long as it takes a little while, when the sky is completely clear, when human eyesight can see clearly, this war will be over.

Ashruphat will pay a heavy price for his deception.

At this time, the night was still very thick, so Marven's vision was very limited. He didn't notice that the entire battle situation had changed quietly and unconsciously, so he didn't make any adjustments to his deployment at all. He waited anxiously for the dawn before the final blow was delivered by the recuperated cavalry, which was actually a tired soldier, but much better than an ordinary soldier.

This is like a game of cards, although the final hole cards have not yet been turned over, but from the cards that have been released, the cards in Marvin's hand have been won. Regardless of the hole cards, Ashrufat has already lost. When the flop time came, Marven didn't need to see what Eshurufat's hole cards were, and he could directly sweep all the chips on Eshurufat's table to his side.

Theoretically, no one can turn over in such a situation - except in one case. That is, after being taken from all the chips, Ashrufat took out new chips from his pocket and immediately started the next round.

The reality is similar.

The sky is slowly getting brighter. Marven's first thing to see clearly was the terrain - after a night of pursuit, the two armies had left the plain. A night is neither long nor short, at least at this moment, what is under your feet is no longer the troublesome muddy ground of yesterday's battle, but a gentle slope.

The reason why it is said to be a gentle slope is because the slope is really limited, and it can barely be regarded as a plain. In short, it is a battlefield that is very suitable for cavalry galloping.

Of course, there were more cavalry on Ashrufat's side. But Marvin no longer cares about the enemy's cavalry. Last night, he saw a lot of horse carcasses. The carcasses of these horses are very complete, indicating that they did not die in battle, but died of exhaustion. This means that the enemy's cavalry has completely lost its combat effectiveness. In yesterday's engagement, the army of the Southerners has always used the cavalry as a fire brigade to fight fires everywhere. It's not that this is wrong, after all, they have survived until now. But now, those poor horses have run out of bodies.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Marven immediately gave orders to his troops. Several heralds quickly ran towards the position of the cavalry, conveying the commander's orders in place. The order was simple: move forward and take up a combat position, and when it was completely dawn, immediately attack.

He didn't even need to say where to attack. The sporadic fighting continued, and the southerners were now weakened to the limit, and were simply led to be killed. On the surface, the two sides are still fighting, but in fact it is simply a hunt.

At this time, he heard the roar of cannons.

He hadn't heard it since yesterday afternoon. But this silent dawn was broken.

The sound of the cannon was emitted by the cannons arranged on the top of the slope.

The terrain is simply pre-selected. Essien placed the cannon on top of the slope and hid his own force behind the hillside. When it was bright enough, the cannon began to fire. Dense cannonballs rained down on the Chaos Legion.

At this time, there were actually only more than thirty cannons on the gun position, but because it was a salvo, the roar was so loud that even the earth seemed to tremble slightly.

The Chaos Legion was attacked by this, and chaos immediately ensued. It wasn't just the troops who were hit by the shells who were in confusion, the other troops also stopped involuntarily because they heard the sound of the artillery. The sound of the cannon does not bode well for the Chaos Warriors.

At the same time, Essien patrolled his troops behind the hillside.

"Brethren," he exclaimed. "The opportunity to make a difference is right in front of us. The gods are above, and now the honor and riches are at your feet, all you have to do is bend down and pick it up!"

His cavalry was almost there, but half of the infantry was still on their way. But Essien knew he didn't need to wait for the infantry to arrive. Although he did not have dark vision, he knew that this was an opportunity after hearing Ashrufat's explanation of the battle situation, and knowing that the two armies had actually been chasing and fighting for more than three days.

The cannon roared again. The artillery was personally commanded by Ashrufat, who used dark vision to manipulate the muzzle of the cannon, so that the hit rate of the cannon was quite high. The cannonballs caused a lot of damage in the Chaos Legion, and the Chaos Cavalry, who were preparing for a surprise attack, were important targets for the fire.

Then, waves of cavalry suddenly emerged from behind the hillside and swooped down on the pursuing Chaos Legion with lightning speed.

It was bright enough that the soldiers who were still in retreat had already realized that it was the reserve army that had been thrown into battle. At first, many thought it was a skirmish aimed at holding back the enemy, but as the cavalry behind the hill rushed out seemingly endlessly, the whole army realized that it was a real counterattack.

All those units that remained in the fighting spirit turned around and prepared to support the reserve with all their might.

In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with shouts of killing, and it was a one-sided shouting of killing. In the heights, the drums of war sounded to launch the charge.

The hoplites were in the center, and the hussars were outflanked on both flanks. It's a very common tactical arrangement, but few people can put a new force into the field at such a critical and delicate time.

The Chaos Legion hadn't noticed the reinforcements that had just arrived (the light was still poor and humanity's vision was limited), so they thought they had won the day. At the same time, many Chaos warriors were also exhausted, and did not form a battle formation like a normal battle. In fact, a large part of them are also scattered, like a walk. It was only when the sound of cannons, drums, horses' hooves, and shouts of slaughter was heard that they realized that something unusual had happened in the battle. Their officers tried in vain to seize the victory that they felt was about to slip away from them.

The coalition forces turned to a counteroffensive on all fronts, and the cavalry charge was incredibly sharp. Everywhere there was the thrilling sound of charging horses' hooves. The artillery worked hard to attack the Chaos cavalry who had not yet entered the battle, adding to their confusion and thwarting their movements.

Essien led the charge, and his heavily armed knights tore through the fragile, long and fragile lines of Chaos, charging directly behind them. Having accomplished such a move, they turned around and plunged into the chaotic front again from the rear.

The entire Chaos Legion was plunged into chaos and commotion. They were too scattered and too tired to resist the onslaught of such an energetic enemy.

After seeing the hope of victory, the soldiers who had already fallen into despair in the retreat, and thus were numb, were once again inspired to fight. The counterattack was not only the cavalry, but the entire coalition army began to counterattack.

In addition to this, the infantry brought by Essien also began to rush into the battlefield.

The cavalry of Chaos had no chance to play at all. They came under concentrated artillery fire, causing heavy casualties. The hussars surrounded them and fired at them with pistols at medium range. Their horses were too tired to keep up with these swift enemies. So they were suddenly in a miserable situation where they couldn't catch up and couldn't run away.

After a few moments, after confirming that the Chaos Cavalry was in dire condition, the Essien hoplite charge was aimed at them. The clumsy and sluggish Chaos cavalry could not stop the enemy's ferocious charge, and a gap was opened. Then the gap is torn open and opened. It didn't take long for the Chaos cavalry to be completely encircled, and then it was completely annihilated by repeated charges and shots from light and heavy cavalry. They vanished like a puff of smoke, leaving the corpses of men and horses all over the ground.

At this time, the Chaos Legion wanted to bring their powerful mage troops into battle. But after such a day and a night of oppression, almost all Chaos wizards were exhausted. They faced a small but energetic enemy. All attempts by Chaos wizards to unleash their magic were disrupted and failed.

A heavy knight rushed into the largest group of enemies - so many people must have gathered to protect someone. The knights tore apart the ranks of the Chaos Legion like a wedge splitting the trunk of an oak tree, rushing all the way to the center. There are at least fifty Chaos Wizards on this ranks. All the Chaos Wizards who didn't have time to set foot on the magic disk (or didn't have it at all) and escaped became the souls of the sword.

The Chaos Legion was routed on all fronts.

The defeat was like a mountain. Marven and his men tried to stop the retreat, but to no avail. The battle quickly broke away from the control. Warriors of the Sadism will fight frantically until the last minute, giving their allies a chance to retreat or form a team. But this time, there are no sadistic berserkers in the Chaos Legion.

Many of the defeated Chaos warriors even lost their weapons and armor, trying to reduce their weight so that they could escape. In just half a morning, they retreated to yesterday's battlefield.

Here, Marvin made one last effort. He gathered his team, regrouped, and tried to form a defensive line. After all, after a morning of fighting, the cavalry brought by Aesin had also become tired and were no longer willing to attack the Chaos Legion lined up. But by this time, the infantry of the coalition forces had also arrived.

After a burst of heavy fire, the halberd infantry, supported by the Greatsword Samurai, shouted and launched a fierce charge, knocking the Chaos Legion back in one fell swoop. This wave of attempts was eventually defeated by repeated charges from the infantry.

The battlefield that was not cleaned yesterday has countless bones today.

Essien pursued closely. Without the obstruction of night and heavy rain, the two armies pursued and fled far longer than they imagined. At dusk they returned to the original battlefield, the river called Bodamir. However, after the previous heavy rain, the river has become a roaring and dangerous river.

The bridge had been destroyed, and the Chaos Warriors were squeezed by the river, unable to find a place to wade through, so they were forced to jump into the river under coalition fire......

In this day, the original 100,000-strong Chaos Legion was completely wiped out. Except for a few wizards who were able to fly away on the magic disk, no one escaped this terrible killing. The ground was littered with the corpses of Chaos Warriors, and the same was true in the river.

At the beginning of the day, the Chaos Legion was still victorious, but by the end of the day, the Chaos Legion was no longer there. Never before has I seen such an unpredictable fate on the battlefield.

......

Lost...... Lost...... irrefutable failure......

Marven stood alone on the magic disk. His once-glorious army vanished in a day. Although he was able to escape the horrific carnage on the ground with the help of this flying prop, he knew he was finished.

The Chaos Wizard's whole body trembled. He knew what was going to happen, and he screwed up Tzeentch's plan. No Chaos cultist has ever been able to do such a thing and be unharmed. Even his wizards (who also escaped with the magic disk) scattered, and no one even said goodbye to him.
