Chapter 231: Battle (5)
Early the next morning, the armies of both sides again set up to continue the battle.
Due to the previous day's defeat, Logaris readjusted his formation, placing three pikemen phalanx in the center and a swordsman phalanx on the left and right flanks, so as to protect each other from the previous day's flank losses.
However, despite this arrangement, he still didn't know how to deal with the other party's magic, and the thought of this made Logaris feel helpless.
He sighed secretly, these nobles can't listen to their opinions at all, if they take the method of protracted war, as long as the other party will be difficult to hold on to for half a month, they can only retreat to Tetur, and then take advantage of the situation to march to surround Tetur, this battle will not be a problem. It's a pity that these nobles are so happy that they are bent on defeating their opponents in a battle, and blindly attacking is exactly what the opponent wants.
"What a bunch of fools......" Logaris silently looked at the advancing army and involuntarily cursed.
At this time, one of the officers under Logaris came to his horse and said with an unconvinced expression: "My lord, why didn't you let us fight in today's battle? I am not convinced by yesterday's defeat, and I am preparing to be disgraced today, I hope that my lord will let us fight!"
Logaris looked at this subordinate under him, and felt a burst of anger in his heart, and secretly cursed: "You fool, I am saving your lives, and I am still stupidly begging for war, what a fool!"
At the morning meeting, Logaris dismissed all his direct troops on the grounds that the battle was unfavorable, and instead sent the troops of the nobles. However, this arrangement made these replaced officers have a lot of opinions, thinking that this is looking down on them, so there is a scene in front of them.
Today's battle plan has been personally examined and approved by His Majesty the King, and you cannot be questioned about it. Logaris unceremoniously scolded the officer, and looked at him in a rage, as if he might behead him on the spot at any moment.
Having repelled his men, Lorgaris refocused on the battlefield as the army advanced in front of the opposing position, only a hundred paces away from the troublesome trench.
"Shoot the arrows!" Logaris ordered.
"Whoosh, whoosh......" There was a sound of archers, and thousands of arrows flew towards the opponent's army like raindrops.
Lorgaris could even imagine the next sight, and the arrows must have been blocked by the wall of water. Unexpectedly, however, the wall of water did not rise, but was replaced by a gust of wind. Without warning, the wind appeared on the battlefield and blew like a wall towards the king's army.
The dense array of arrows was blown apart in the face of the strong wind, and none of them could reach the desired place. The effect of the strong wind was not only that, but a large amount of sand and dust swept into the phalanx of the king's army with the strong wind, blowing the soldiers unable to open their eyes. It was at this time that the Savan army began to attack, and the morale of the army, shouting slogans, rushed at the enemy under the cover of strong winds.
The unprepared soldiers of the King's Army were immediately stunned, and before they could react much, the soldiers in the front row were stabbed to the ground by their spears. With the help of the wind, the soldiers of the Sahain army became more and more courageous, while the soldiers of the king's army had difficulty even opening their eyes, let alone counterattacking.
The soldiers of these nobles were poorly trained, all of them were soldiers, and it was okay to bully the common people, but the real battle was useless at all. Suddenly hit head-on, the ruffians immediately turned around and ran, defeated even more quickly than the day before.
The other soldiers who had not yet entered the battle saw that someone had fled, hesitated a little and began to flee, and the officers were so angry that they scolded, drew their swords and slashed at the people who took the lead in escaping, and several of the people who took the lead in escaping were instantly cut to the ground, and the others did not dare to run again when they saw it.
However, the pikemen phalanx that had been attacked still collapsed, and only the swordsman phalanx on either side remained intact. The pikemen of the Savan army crushed the opposing pikemen in one blow, and immediately held the formation and regrouped.
Seeing that the pikemen were so quickly routed, so fast that it was impossible to give any command, Logaris in the rear immediately opened his mouth wide and did not know what to say. "That's too fast, what a bunch of garbage!" Logaris couldn't help but laugh, and the only way now was to delay it a little longer, as long as it didn't look too ugly.
"Order the phalanx of swordsmen to flank each other from both sides!" Logaris said to the herald.
The herald agreed, and immediately urged the horse to give the order. The two phalanxes of swordsmen who received the order immediately moved into action, flanking each other's pikemen from both flanks. The Savan army also took action, and just as the pikemen were gathered, the heavy armor soldiers on this side were already rushing towards the opposing swordsman's phalanx with solid steps.
This heavily armored swordsman unit was Savan's current trump card army, and its combat effectiveness was far above that of ordinary troops, and Savin divided them into two and killed them in two swordsman phalanxes. The heavily's slowness is its greatest weakness, and its long-distance movement consumes a lot of stamina, so Sawan would never dare to let the heamelized attack in a charge.
However, there are quite a few mages in Savan's army now, several of whom are wind mages, and they are playing their role at this time. The wind magicians cast acceleration magic together, and the magic blessed the heavy armor soldiers, and they suddenly walked like flying. In just a few moments, the heavily armored soldiers rushed to the front of the opponent's military formation.
Although the number was small, with their fierce impact and the advantage of equipment, these heavily armored swordsmen rushed into a flock like a fierce tiger, and quickly rushed the opponent's formation into chaos. At this time, the pikemen also took the opportunity to launch an active attack, and the two sides flanked together, attacking the phalanx of the king's army.
The morale of the king's army was already poor, and after such a fierce attack, it soon showed signs of defeat, and it would not be long before it collapsed. At this time, Logaris looked at the rear and lamented that such a soldier really taught him that there was nothing he could do. He slapped his thigh and said dejectedly: "Order to collect the troops!"
A horn sounded with a whin, and the soldiers, who were already on the verge of collapse, immediately ran away as if they had been pardoned, and the Savan army followed after a while, and a large number of soldiers of the king's army were stabbed or cut in the back before they could escape, and the dead bodies continued all the way from the front of the Sahain army.
Sahain was worried that his army was too deep, and he hurriedly ordered the troops to be withdrawn, so there was also a horn sounding here, and the soldiers of the Sahain army were much more disciplined than the king's army.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Logaris heard bad news, and the nobles complained to the king and demanded that Logaris be relieved of his command immediately. Logaris's face suddenly turned blue, originally he sent someone to contact Sawan just to find a way back for himself first, and then see the opportunity to act, but he didn't expect that this group of nobles couldn't wait to drive him away.
Logaris's gaze became fierce, he looked at the big tent that was several times larger than the other tents, and silently said in his heart: "Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!"
Logaris beckoned to his entourage, and said, "Go back to the other side tonight, and tell them that as long as they take the initiative to attack, I will cooperate with the action, and use a yellow flag as a signal." ”
Having gone as promised, Logaris gathered his emotions and walked towards the king's tent.
Savin rode on his horse and looked at the defeated enemy army, and couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect it to be so easy today, this is a loss to the help of the magician." ”
Main beside Sawan also laughed and said, "Where, it's just a small skill, so powerful that it hasn't been used yet." ”
Sawan said, "When will Master Main show his hand?"
Main smiled: "I'm afraid that I will frighten the other party when I make a move, and then I will lose the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop." After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
