442 Vikia's Counterattack (4)

In the early morning, before the sun came out, the earth was filled with white mist, and under the blowing of the mountain wind, it was like a flowing white belt around this narrow highland

A black goshawk flew through the blue sky, and under its unfolded wings was the twilight snow-capped mountains,

The cold wind blew through the hill in front, and a faint rumbling sound came from the other end of the hill, and the heavy hooves of the war horse hit the hard snow-capped frozen soil, and black lines appeared on the edge of the top of the white hill.

It was not the scenery that should appear on the snow-capped mountains, the murderous Ruierdian cavalry was like a layer of dense clouds covering the sky, constantly emerging in the white mountains, representing the emergency rallying cry of the enemy resounding in the sky,

"Hehe, the people of Ruierdian really sent cavalry to explore the way" Croresat gently soothed the restless war horse under his crotch with his hand, and sneered a few times in his mouth,

Beside him, several banner commanders of the Mountain Legion looked at the thickening dense clouds in the distance, and the 40,000 Vekia soldiers were already waiting for them in this narrow and low-lying land.

Rows of heavy repulsive rifles were placed at the front of the military formation, and the dense tips of the guns made people feel hairy, in addition to the powerful longbows, 10,000 Vekia mountain hunters had also lined up in a neat fan-shaped queue, blocking the entrance to the mountain road tightly

After learning that the Ryordian had gathered nearly 80,000 counterattack troops, Croresart wisely chose to retreat from the mountain pass camp to the left side of the mountain range that was more favorable to him.

It was a relatively narrow belt of hills and hard soil, and the undulating hills on both sides formed three natural passages in this low-lying land, each about 10 miles apart, which was like a three-way confluence, and the vengeful army of Raldian had to divide into three ways to block the Wikibians inside

A flash of light flashed through Crorysat's eyes, which made his pupils constrict unnaturally, and he saw the misty hills in the distance, the shining vests covered by the cavalry horses of Ryerdian appeared and disappeared, and the cold cavalry spears were like rows of benchmarks lowered in the sky,

The traditional cross-coat of arms double banner of the Ryerdian cavalry corps emerged from the mist, and dense black shadows continued to pile up with the sound of trombones, expelling a dense long line on the hills.

"It's a big area, there are at least 15,000 cavalry here" Because he had never seen such a large-scale cavalry cluster, a flag commander couldn't suppress the shock in his heart, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation,

"Hehe, you're right," Croissette sneered at the corners of her mouth, and confirmed the Banner Leader's conjecture in an affirmative tone, "This should be the Fourth Knights of the Ryerdian, in addition to the original 13,000 cavalry, there are 5,000 hoplite knights!

"What heavy knights" Croryssat's words caused a gasp among the flag leaders, and the faces of several flag leaders turned slightly pale

The hoplite knight is the top combat power in the continental army establishment, a heavily armed hoplite knight is enough to fight against 3 to 4 light cavalry, if converted to infantry, a cluster charge of 5,000 hoplite knights can easily defeat an infantry cluster of less than 30,000 people,

If this is the case, then the encounter is already doomed from the start

"Why are you scared," Crorysette seemed to have guessed the thoughts of her subordinates, and said with a mysterious smile on the corner of her mouth

"We don't really have to worry about this" Do you know why I chose to face the Ruierdian here? It is because this is not only the cold climate, but also a typical plateau tundra, and the three entrances are enough to make the Ruierdian people lose their military superiority, in order to bite us and create a chance for the other two troops to encircle and encircle, no matter how strong the cavalry of Ruierdian is, they must abandon the knight's heavy equipment that is enough to crush their horses,

"So, we're just dealing with a pack of tired wolves that have lost their sharp claws," Croresart sneered at the pale generals behind him, waving his whip and whistling through the air

"But the Legion Commander, after all, they are the regular cavalry of Ruierdian" Looking at the confident Krolisatt in front of him, the Third Banner Commander Ezac reminded in a low voice, he is a rare barbarian general with a cautious personality in the Mountain Legion, and is called "Long-winded Ezak" by several other generals

This time, however, the verbose Ezzak represented the voices of most of the flag leaders

For the mountain legions, which are used as second-line troops all year round, they usually face the enemy's infantry, and they think that in front of them is the heavy cavalry of Ruierdian from the country of knights,,

These Vekia generals, who claim to be not afraid of heaven and earth, can't help but feel a little throbbing

"I know this very well, but we have no way out" Regarding Zack's concern, Croryssatt changed the light send-off just now, and a burst of pressure spread from his strong body, and the undoubted tone in his tone shocked all the generals

"We need time, no matter what the cost, we must hold on until the main force of the Grand Duke arrives, otherwise our efforts will be in vain, if you want to be a territory, please take out the strength to eat" Crowissat's words paused, and there was a hint of fortitude in his tone

"We only have 40,000 men, even if we have a longbow force to suppress the formation, it is impossible to resist the three-way encirclement of 80,000 Ruierdian people head-on, if we don't want to sit back and wait for a dead end, we can only choose to take the initiative

Although we are generally inferior to the enemy, and we have absolute superiority in terms of unilateral military strength, we must defeat the enemy's most mobile cavalry units before then, and only by cutting off the links between their armies can we have a chance of survival."

"Woo" Croissat's voice had just finished when the horn of the Ryrdian's attack came from the top of the hill

"According to the original arrangement, order the whole army to meet the battle" Looking at the slowly moving cavalry cluster on the hill, Crowisat knew that the fateful moment had come, and he waved his hand to several flag commanders

Several flag commanders turned around to deploy their troops, and as the order was given, the well-organized formation of the Vikia army began to change

The speeding Ryerdian cavalry apparently didn't notice this,

If it weren't for the confused fog in front of them, they would have found that the Vekia legion, which was still a phalanx just now, was already like an outstretched wing, like a pair of huge arms forming a victorious V-shape

"Sniper Longbow Array"

The strongest formation of the Vekia army quietly appeared in the mist,

The sound of the horses' hooves getting closer and closer, the tightening of the "creaking" bowstrings rained down like drops, 20,000 hunting bows and 15,000 longbows capable of piercing heavy armor

The Ryerdian cavalry cluster that was coming head-on, the death scythe that had been embraced,

The earth shook the whole snow-capped mountain, all trembling under the sound of rapid and rumbling horses' hooves, countless black lines galloped along the mountain, and in the blink of an eye, the black cloud-like cavalry group of Ruierdian cavalry had crossed the mountainside, overwhelmingly charging from the height of the hill to the Vicchian legions lined up below

"The Grand Duke hopes that there is nothing wrong with the method you taught" Crorysette felt the ground shaking more and more, bowed slightly, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear, and his resolute face flashed with piety,

For Samor's glory, he drew his shiny saber from his waist, stood at the front of the formation, and swung it at the Wiki army behind him

"Shooting"

"Collapse Collapse" With the sword that Crollissat swung, the rapid bowstring shook like a torrential rain hitting the ground,

In the Wikiasian army formation that spread out in both directions, countless black dots were like swarms of locusts on the horizon, shooting at the heads of the Ryerdian cavalry rushing down the mountainside

"Hiss" war horses neighed, Rui Erdian cavalry and war horses were shot by head-on arrows, thousands of Rui Erdian cavalry rolled down from their horses, and the war horses full of arrows hit the ground heavily,

Seeing the companions tumbling and falling off their horses in front of them, the Ruierdian cavalry was indeed worthy of being the elite of the battle-hardened formation, but instead of slowing down, they took out their shields one after another, and rushed forward against the oncoming arrows.

After sacrificing nearly 3,000 cavalry, the first few rows of cavalry formed like old men with a mouth full of teeth, and scattered rushed close to the 100-meter range of the Wiki army formation.

The mist flowed to the left and right of the galloping men and horses, the armor made a clashing sound, and the mist attached to the cavalry spear that he held up was wet and glittered with dazzling light.

"The Villakud squadron is really good" Seeing a forward cavalry holding a three-bar battle flag rushing into the Vikia military formation, the commander of the Fourth Knights of Raldian Kurd, who commanded the battle on the top of the mountain, showed a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth

"It's time for the Vikia clowns to let you know who is the number one army on the mainland," the veteran Kurd smacked his whip with a fierce expression

In his imagination, the Wikibians would fall like grass in front of the swords and spears of the oncoming Raldian cavalry. Even the fog could no match the roaring sound of horses' hooves,

Because there is no clear figure, it makes Kurds have a sense of enjoyment that is difficult to grasp.

Originally, it should have been that most of the Ryordians saw the impending victory on the other side of the fog. However, this illusion suddenly faded rapidly.

The cavalry who rushed into the military formation suddenly found that the place where the Vecchians should have stood was now empty. And when they were amazed,

The howl of the companion wolf bèi sounded instantly, and countless powerful clusters of arrows with fierce whistling sounds, shot from the dense fog on their left and right sides,

The "touching" cavalrymen found that their shields were no as thin as a piece of paper, and the arrows that came in a hurry were no less than a piece of paper, and they shot through them with their shields mercilessly, and bright red blood flew from their wounded parts

"This is a trap" The Ryordian cavalry, who had never encountered a longbow sniper array, naturally thought of this, and the powerful longbows that kept shooting from both sides made the Ryordian cavalry tremble

"Rushing out" found that the deceived Ruierdian cavalry began to rush forward recklessly,

However, it was too late. It was as if they were fighting against the ethereal mist, and as the distance deepened, the arrows from both sides became more and more dense.

The cavalry that kept rushing forward was like a blind target, undoubtedly attracting more large troops behind, and the tens of thousands of Ruierdian cavalry who followed up followed closely without hesitation

The exquisite coordination and high degree of uniformity of the cavalry cluster made this gorgeous assault battle an irrepressible disaster, and the Vekia shooters on both sides could easily send arrows into the body of the Rui Erdian cavalry without even aiming.

The Ryrdian cavalry moved forward like ducks in a drive, the arrows fired around them and the screams of their companions falling from their horses drove them to speed up, while a larger trap awaited them ahead

A huge fault opened its mouth wide in front of them. It was the largest fault in the valley lowlands. It is more than a kilometer long, 30 meters wide and 5 meters deep.

In a panic, the cavalry fell into the natural trench and splashed muddy water. The one who had just fallen was groaning in pain from the fracture below, and the new victim who had fallen immediately after him pressed down from above and pressed the person below.

Terror surrounded the people of Ryldian. It was at this point that the people who were barely on their feet smelled a strange smell, and they could tell from the smell that the knee-deep semi-liquid was oil. Shivering grabbed their hearts.

"Be careful, it's oil, they want to destroy us with fire"

Before the screams stopped, a wall of fire soared into the air. The Wikibians released the rocket. The oil that had been sprinkled everywhere in advance caught fire at the same time, swallowing the Ryordian cavalry into flames.

Hundreds of steamers strung together in the mist. Each wheel of fire surrounded hundreds of Ryrdian cavalry. More than 10,000 cavalry units were deprived of freedom and unity of movement, and at the same time were separated.

The heavy mist of the Wheel of Fire exposed the position of Raldian's cavalry to the eyes of the Vikchian archers. In this moment.

Stop & Stop

The Raldian cavalry desperately tried to move their mounts, which were so frightened by the fire that they kept kicking and jumping. In the neighing of horses and the sound of disordered horses' hooves,

The roars of the knights were covered by a new cacophony.

The familiarity of "Whirring" tearing through the air made them shiver from their souls, and it was the sound of a powerful thorny longbow constantly firing.

The squadron leader of the Ryerdian cavalry looked at the chaotic scene around him, and could only loudly order his subordinates to avoid. However, it is impossible to carry out this order. The steamers around them deprived them of their most valuable power and impact.

From time to time, the screams of people and horses who were burned alive could be heard from the walls of fire.
