Chapter 888: Fierce Battle in Stargazing Corridor (Part 1)
I saw that in the second half of the Thain army formation, at least two brigades of light cavalry who had not yet come into direct contact with our side suddenly left the main formation.
Just like two giant pincers, they moved forward at extreme speed from the left and right sides of the main formation, and charged straight towards the flanks of our army formation that had been fully in contact with the opponent.
Seeing this sudden scene, our cavalry who were fighting in the melee were all panic-stricken.
Because the main force in the opponent's front row is well-equipped heavy cavalry, while most of our side are light cavalry and assault cavalry.
Therefore, in order to maintain a frontal advantage, our left-wing cavalry led by Huode almost pushed forward across the board.
This means that in the face of the opponent's galloping charge, our side has no spare power to deal with it.
After they all realized this, an atmosphere of uneasiness immediately permeated our camp, and even Hodder's resolute face hidden behind the visor frowned tightly.
When the cavalry who had stopped and met the cavalry who was charging with all their strength, the result can be imagined.
"Hodder, didn't expect that?"
Thain swung a sharp sword, and said with a sly smile: "In the end, you are just a small city lord, so what qualifications do you have to dare to confront the old man head-on?"
"I am the lord of a city, and I am also a glorious hereditary nobleman of the Lengyan Kingdom."
Huo De's knight sword crossed, blocked the opponent's slash, and said unswervingly: "My ancestors once fought for protection under the command of His Majesty the King of Heroes, and today I will follow the will of the ancestors, and you depraved Nobles, but you have tarnished the faith and glory of your ancestors!"
"No shame, a pariah is a pariah, and this old man is a high-ranking nobleman, so why not kill as many pariahs as you want!"
Thain let out a cold snort, and the knight's sword waving in his hand became brilliant, and slashed towards Huo De at a high speed again.
"Hod, your soldiers are already like lambs, standing under the cavalry of the old man's cavalry, this time you will definitely die!"
Just as Thain, who had a ferocious expression on his face, finished speaking.
The two sudden enemy cavalry brigades leveled their lances one after another, and they were already approaching with murderous intent!
On the other hand, there were our cavalry soldiers who couldn't avoid it at all. They could only watch the opponent's sharp lance getting closer and closer to them.
The sound of horseshoes resounding through the ground was like the drumbeat of the **** of death, and the hearts of our cavalry trembled madly.
At this point, the battle situation could not be clearer.
As long as the opponent's cavalry, which are like giant pincers, are firmly inserted into our weak left and right sides, it is enough to completely defeat our formation.
At that time, Huode and the 5,000 cavalry on the left will surely die without a place to bury them.
"I don't think so!"
On Huo De's resolute face, there was no trace of panic, but a passionate expression on his face, and he blocked the opponent's attack again.
"Sion, I have never fought alone. Under the command of that lord, there are countless powers that you can't imagine!"
Huo De's voice has not completely fallen.
The sound of horseshoes, which was more violent than that of the opponent, began to sound intensively from behind our formation.
I saw two cavalry forces of our side with equal momentum, going straight to meet each other.
This is part of our right-wing cavalry led by Sarah!
Not long ago, at the same time that the opponent's right-wing cavalry led by Thain was confronting our left-wing cavalry led by Huode.
Our right-wing cavalry led by Sarah and Xiao Zhao also faced another cavalry of the other side.
It's just that the commander of the other cavalry on the other side is only at the fourth-order two-star strength, and he is not at all an opponent of Sarah who is wearing a full set of ancestral equipment and is at the peak of the fourth-order.
In just one round, he was stabbed off the horse by Sarah, causing chaos in the opponent's formation.
After that, Sarah and Xiao Zhao, who were the first to bear the brunt, immediately led their men to press on the whole line, and soon completely defeated each other.
When the general battle situation stabilized, Sarah led some cavalry to support after instructing Xiao Zhao to wipe out the remnants, and only then did the current scene happen.
In the blink of an eye, the supporting cavalry led by Sarah had successfully intercepted the enemy cavalry attempting to enter our flank, sparking another **** melee.
"What?! The other side lost so quickly?!"
Thain's old face was full of astonishment, apparently he did not expect his lieutenant general to lose so quickly.
You know, he is also a battle-hardened veteran, how could he not persist in such a short time?
This undoubtedly means that there is at least one powerful cavalry general in the opponent's camp!
"Too bad, the opponent's strength is stronger than the old man's imagination! Moreover, this guy's weapon is obviously stronger than the old man's. I'm afraid it has reached the level of a town. Part of the gap!"
Thain looked at Hodder, who was gradually turning from defensive to offensive, and a look of panic finally appeared on his old face.
This undoubtedly means that in the face of the opponent's more sophisticated equipment and reinforcements, he has lost all his advantages.
It was too late to think about why Huo De possessed such a magical weapon. After the old eyes looked around, Thain further discovered.
Affected by the reinforcements from the other side and the defeat on the other side, the soldiers under his command have obviously lost their fighting spirit, and they have already shown a considerable decline.
Judging by past experience, this is often a precursor to a major defeat.
"The situation is not good, idiot, hurry up and blow the retreat horn!"
Thinking of this, Thain did not hesitate, and immediately yelled at the herald not far away.
Thain clearly understood that he now had at least 3,000 cavalry available.
As long as we temporarily retreat and wait for an opportunity to charge, we can still turn things around!
After all, behind him, there are still 3 main legions and 8 half-dead ordinary legions!
However, Thain's voice just fell, and he didn't even have time to turn around.
The mutation happened suddenly.
boom! boom! boom!
Behind him, that is, the army formation of the other three kingdom generals, the earth-shattering sound of magical cannons sounded one after another.
Groups of huge fireballs rising up one after another, accompanied by deafening explosions, immediately exploded around Thain, Hodder and the others.
The waves of death flames that swept across the sky, mixed with sand and stones and scattered limbs, quickly swallowed most of the cavalry of the enemy and us who were fighting around, turning the entire battlefield into a scorching purgatory.
This is not over yet, until the magical artillery fire starts to thin out.
What followed was a rain of arrows like locusts raging in the sky.
The surface of these arrows is full of magical brilliance, and they are undoubtedly enchanted magic arrows.
Accompanied by the "swish swish" sound of the arrow missing and galloping, it easily penetrated the armor of the opposing soldiers.
As for our soldiers, due to the third-tier equipment of all members, they are much stronger, so the number of fallen soldiers is obviously less than that of the opponent.
"What's going on?! Those two bastards, Yarvi and Julius, don't even let me off!"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Thain finally came to his senses, his old face full of anger and shock.
This undoubtedly means that he, who had a bad start, has become an abandoned pawn.
Thain had no time to think about anything else, so he rode his horse and whipped his whip, and fled towards the army formation at a high speed.
Forget it, those soldiers who are used as cannon fodder are insignificant, and as a noble noble, I must not die here!
"Sarah, take the rest of the soldiers out of the enemy's range of firepower, and Sion will leave it to me!"
Huo De didn't hesitate, urged him to get off his horse, raised his gun and chased after him.
"Understood, be careful!"
Sarah's reaction was also extremely quick, she immediately gathered the remnants and rescued the wounded, and began to retreat to the rear.
The sudden loss of enemy magical artillery fire and arrows just now not only devoured the remaining cavalry of the enemy, but our cavalry also suffered heavy losses.
Even with better equipment, after all, we have more people.
"These crazy guys!"
Sarah bit her red lips tightly, braving the rain of arrows and the rising artillery fire, lowered her body and pulled a staggering wounded soldier of ours onto the horse.
Fortunately, the lord distributed a large number of healing potions and healing magic scrolls, enough to keep the number of deaths to a minimum.
On the other side, Xiao Zhao also adopted the same method, and also began to gather the remnant army.
So far, the only one still on the battlefield is Hodder.
Since Sion is a heavy knight, Hord is a faster light knight.
Therefore, although Thain resolutely chose to flee in the first place, Huo De whipped his horse and quickly caught up.
"You lingering **** bastard, go to hell!"
I saw Thain's hostile old face full of frustration.
Seeing that there was no escape, he simply turned his horse's head, his old eyes showing killing intent, and pointed the slender lance in his hand directly at Hodder's chest.
But just when Thain was ready to attack.
The [Golden Knight's Spear] in Hodder's hand had completely penetrated Thain together with the heavy armor on his body, stirring up a foul-smelling blood mist.
In the face of the Tier 5 cavalry spear and the extreme speed bestowed by Lei Xiao, the Cavalry General's Tier 4 heavy armor is naturally like a lake of paper, which does not have any defensive effect at all.
With Hodder's arm shrinking, he pulled out the lance again.
This fierce figure among the traditional aristocrats, the cavalry general Thain who was loyal to the great prince, died directly on the spot, and began to fall from the horse.
In the process of descending, on the lifeless body, only a pair of turbid childish holes that still retain the killing intent are left, and they are rapidly losing their color.
After killing Thain, before Hodder had time to activate his mount, at least hundreds of strengthening spells shot out from the magic cannon fell from the sky again, exploding with Hodder as the center.
Such dense magical artillery fire, even a fifth-tier powerhouse would not dare to underestimate it, let alone Huo De, who is only a fourth-tier two-star.
For a moment, Huo De, who was caught off guard, was immediately swallowed by the violent explosion, and was buried in the flames and gunpowder smoke.
"Did you actually kill Thain directly?"
In the opponent's magic cannon position, the heavy artillery general Julis watched the scene in the distance with great interest, his eyes full of mischief.
As a new noble general loyal to the second prince, he was naturally happy to die on the spot when Thain, who was loyal to the first prince, died.
Anyway, under the long-range offensive of him and Yarvi, the opponent's cavalry corps has lost its due role.
"Hehe, it's not a loss if the limit is exchanged for one."
Thinking of this in his heart, Julis, who was suspended in mid-air, moved his eyes and looked at the dark army formation around him.
Except for him, Yarvi, and Skaar's three elite legions.
Another 4 ordinary corps formed one after another and were deployed on the two wings.
Although the morale of these four legions is low, they are still a big help. Even if the opponents defeat them one by one, it will take a lot of time.
This undoubtedly means that the strength comparison on the field has changed from the initial 4:5 to the current 7:4.
At the same time, the other four chaotic ordinary legions are also rapidly gathering, and their advantages are self-evident.
"Ulis, Jarvi, you two bastards!"
I saw Skaar holding a huge sword and leading his bodyguards angrily to the front of Julius's army, and said with a murderous look on his face: "You actually fired at General Thain and my soldiers of the traditional nobles, you must bear the burden! General's wrath!"
"General Scale, please be patient."
Arrow General Yarvi first walked up to the angry Demon Hunter General, and explained with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency has also seen the situation just now. General Thain's decline is evident, and he is already doomed. If he flees in a hurry, he will definitely be defeated." Chased by opposing cavalry."
"At that time, not only General Thain's subordinates will be wiped out, but also the opponent's cavalry troops will come. Will your infantry subordinates be the opponents of the opponent's angry cavalry?"
In Yars' voice, there was a little more helplessness: "In that case, in order to protect Your Excellency and our subordinates, it is just a helpless act. At least we have eliminated the other party's vital strength."
"That being said, your methods are too despicable. Don't let this general find a chance to deal with you."
Skaar's eyes were gloomy, and he responded lightly.
There's a hint of menace to it, but also a hint of compromise.
Skaar, who is also the general of the kingdom, naturally understands clearly.
If there is internal strife now, what awaits all of them must be death.
Therefore, while the alliance is still in existence, it is better to kill the damned Kongqing city lord first.
"As for Old General Thain, I never thought that such a strong man would be killed by a little-known guy."
Looking at Skaar's gloomy face, Yarvi added: "However, please rest assured, General Skal, we have already avenged Old General Sion~www.mtlnovel.com~ You are right, how dare you be alone If you get close to the general's magic cannon position, even if it's a mosquito, the general will blow it up to death."
Julis looked at Hod, who was completely covered by gunfire, and said with a sneer, "With such an attack density and precision, even a digital fourth-order powerhouse will have no bones left, let alone a mere Hod, he will die undoubtedly!"
After speaking, Julis and Alvi looked at each other, and then burst out laughing.
However, before the two could laugh for a few seconds, the smoke on the battlefield gradually dissipated.
I saw Hodder's intact figure, already out of the coverage of the artillery fire, and approaching Sarah's position at a high speed.
"Why, how could this happen?!"
Seeing this, the laughter of the two overjoyed generals of the kingdom stopped abruptly.
Instead, there was uncontrollable surprise and bewilderment, as if he had been slapped, and his complexion was extremely ugly.
