Chapter 889 Fierce battle in the Stargazing Corridor (Part 1)
In the second half of Thain's formation, at least two groups of light cavalry who had not yet come into direct contact with us suddenly broke away from the main formation.
Like two giant pincers, they moved forward at great speed from the left and right sides of the main formation, charging straight towards the flanks of our military formation that were in full contact with the opponent.
Seeing this sudden scene, our cavalrymen who were fighting in the melee all had panic expressions on their faces.
Because the main force in the opponent's front row are all well-equipped heavy cavalry, while most of ours are light cavalry and assault cavalry.
Therefore, in order to maintain the frontal advantage, our left-wing cavalry led by Hodder pressed almost the entire line.
This means that facing the opponent's galloping charge, we have no power to deal with it.
After everyone realized this, an uneasy atmosphere immediately spread in our camp. Even Hod's resolute face hidden behind the visor frowned tightly.
When the cavalry that had stopped met the cavalry that was charging with all their strength, the result could be imagined.
"Hodder, you didn't expect that, did you?"
Thain swung a sharp sword and said with a ferocious smile: "In the final analysis, you are just the lord of a small city. What qualifications do you have to dare to compete with me head-on?"
"I am the lord of a city and also a hereditary noble of the glorious Cold Flame Kingdom."
Hod's knight sword crossed, blocking the opponent's attack, and said firmly: "My ancestors once fought for protection under the command of His Majesty the King of Heroes. Today I will follow the aspirations of my ancestors, and you degenerates Nobles, you have tarnished the faith and glory of your ancestors!”
"It's shameless to say that untouchables are untouchables. I am a noble nobleman, so there is nothing wrong with killing as many untouchables as possible!"
Thain snorted coldly, and the knight's sword he waved in his hand suddenly shone brightly, and he slashed at Hod at high speed again.
"Hodder, your soldiers are like lambs, standing under the lances of my cavalry. This time you will definitely die!"
Thain, who had a ferocious look on his face, finished speaking.
Two enemy cavalry brigades that came out of the blue lowered their lances one after another, approaching with murderous intentions on their faces!
Directly opposite them, our cavalry were unable to escape. They could only watch the opponent's sharp lances getting closer and closer to them.
The sound of horse hooves that resounded across the earth was like the drumbeat of death, trembling madly in the hearts of our cavalry.
At this point, the battle situation could not be clearer.
As long as the opponent's cavalry, like giant pincers, embeds itself deeply into our weak left and right sides, it will be enough to completely defeat our formation.
By then, Hodder and the 5,000 cavalrymen on the left wing will surely die without a burial place.
"I don't think so!"
There was no trace of panic on Hod's resolute face, but a look of excitement as he blocked the opponent's attack again.
"Thion, I never fight alone. Under that master, there are countless powers that you can't imagine!"
Hodder's words have not yet completely finished.
The sound of horse hooves, which was more exciting than the opponent's, began to sound intensively from behind our formation.
I saw two cavalry forces of equal strength heading straight towards 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 Hod.
Our right-wing cavalry led by Sarah and Xiao Zhao also faced another group of the opponent's cavalry.
However, the commander of another cavalry force on the other side was only at level four and two stars, and was no match for Sarah, who was wearing a full set of ancestral equipment and was at the peak of level four.
In just one round, Sarah stabbed him under the horse, 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 forward, and soon completely defeated the opponent.
After the battle situation was stabilized, Sarah asked Xiao Zhao to wipe out the remaining troops, and then led a part of the cavalry to come to support, and this was the scene now.
In the blink of an eye, the supporting cavalry led by Sarah had successfully intercepted the enemy cavalry that was trying to attack our flank, triggering another bloody melee.
"What?! The other side lost so quickly?!"
Thain's old face was full of surprise, obviously he did not expect that his lieutenant would be defeated so quickly.
You know, he is also a veteran general on the battlefield. How could he not hold on for such a short period of time?
This undoubtedly means that there is at least one powerful cavalry general in the opponent's camp!
"Oops, the opponent's strength is stronger than I imagined! Moreover, this guy's weapons are obviously more powerful than my own. I'm afraid it has reached the level of a country. Even though I am stronger, the weapons are enough to wipe out this guy. Partial gap! ”
Thain looked at Hodder, who was gradually switching 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 advantages.
There was no time to think about why Hod had such a magical weapon. After looking around with his old eyes, Thane made further discoveries.
Affected by the reinforcements from the other side and the defeat on the other side, the soldiers under his command obviously lost their fighting spirit and were already in a considerable decline.
Judging from past experience, this is often a precursor to a major defeat.
"The situation is not good, idiot, blow the retreat horn quickly!"
Thinking of this, Thain did not hesitate and immediately shouted to the herald not far away.
Thain clearly understood that he now had at least 3,000 cavalry available.
As long as you retreat temporarily and wait for an opportunity to charge, you can still turn the tide!
After all, behind him, there are 3 main legions and 8 half-dead ordinary legions!
However, Thain's words had just finished, and he didn't even have time to turn around.
A sudden change occurred.
boom! boom! boom!
Behind him, in the military formations of the other three kingdom generals, earth-shattering magic cannons sounded one after another.
Huge fireballs rose up one after another, accompanied by deafening explosions, and exploded around Thain, Hod and others.
The sweeping wave of death flames, mixed with the sky full of sand and rocks and scattered broken limbs, quickly swallowed up most of the enemy and our cavalry that were fighting in the surroundings, turning the entire battlefield into a scorching purgatory.
This is not over yet, wait until the magic artillery fire starts to become sparse.
What followed was a rain of arrows that filled the sky like locusts raging.
The surfaces of these arrows are all shimmering with magical light, and they are undoubtedly enchanted magic arrows.
Accompanied by the "swish, swish" sound of the arrows, they easily penetrated the armor of the opposing soldiers.
As for our soldiers, since all of them are equipped with third-level equipment, 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, Alvi and Ulis, actually didn't even spare my people!"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Thain finally reacted, his old face full of anger and shock.
This undoubtedly means that he has become an abandoned chess piece after a bad start.
Thain didn't have time to think about anything else, so he galloped his horse and whipped his horse and fled towards the military formation as fast as possible.
Forget it, those soldiers who are cannon fodder are insignificant, but as a noble nobleman, I must not die here!
"Sarah, take the remaining soldiers out of the enemy's fire coverage, and leave Thain to me!"
Hod didn't hesitate, got off his horse, raised his gun, and chased after him.
"I understand, be careful!"
Sarah's reaction was also extremely quick. She immediately gathered the remaining troops and rescued the wounded, and began to retreat to the rear.
The sudden enemy magic artillery fire and arrows not only devoured the remaining enemy cavalry, but our cavalry also suffered heavy losses.
Even though we have better equipment, after all, we have more people.
"These crazy guys!"
Sarah bit her red lips tightly, braving the rain of arrows and rising artillery fire, she lowered her body and pulled a staggering wounded soldier onto the horse.
Fortunately, the lord distributed a large number of healing potions and healing magic scrolls, which were enough to keep the number of casualties to a minimum.
Xiao Zhao on the other side also adopted the same method and began to gather the remaining troops.
At this point, the only one still on the battlefield is Hod.
Since Thane is a heavily armored knight, Hod is a faster light knight.
Therefore, although Thain decisively chose to run away at the first opportunity, Hod whipped up his whip and urged his horse to catch up quickly.
"Go to hell, you damn haunting guy!"
I saw Sean's angry old face, full of anger and despair.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, he simply turned the horse's head, murderous intent evident in his old eyes, and pointed the slender lance directly at Hodder's chest.
But just when Thain had just assumed his attack stance.
The [Golden Knight's Gun] in Hod's hand has completely penetrated Thane and his heavy armor, stirring up a smelly blood mist.
In the face of the fifth-level lance given by Lei Xiao and the extreme speed, the fourth-level heavy armor of the cavalry general was naturally like paper and had no defensive effect at all.
With Hod's arm shrinking, he pulled out the lance again.
This ruthless figure among the traditional nobles, the cavalry general Thain who was loyal to the eldest prince, died on the spot and began to fall crookedly from his horse.
During the descent, only a pair of turbid pupils with murderous intent left on the lifeless body were rapidly losing color.
After killing Thain, before Hod had time to activate his mount, at least hundreds of enhanced spells fired from the magic cannon fell from the sky again, exploding with Hod as the center.
Even a fifth-level powerhouse would not dare to underestimate such dense magical artillery fire, let alone Hod, who was only a fourth-level two-star.
For a moment, Hod was caught off guard and was swallowed up by the violent explosion, engulfed in flames and smoke.
"Did you actually kill Thain directly?"
In the opponent's magic cannon position, the heavy artillery general Yulis looked at the scene in the distance with interest, his eyes full of teasing.
As a new noble general who was loyal to the second prince, he was naturally happy that Thain, who was loyal to the eldest prince, died on the spot.
Anyway, under his and Jalvi's long-range offensive, the opponent's cavalry regiment has lost its due role.
"Haha, exchanging the limit for one is not a loss."
Thinking of this in his mind, Yulis, who was suspended in mid-air, moved his eyes and looked at the dark military formation around him.
Except for him, Jalvi, and Skaar's three elite legions.
Four more ordinary legions were formed one after another and were deployed on both wings.
Although the morale of these four legions is low, they are still a big boost after all. Even if the opponent defeats them one by one, it will take a lot of time.
This undoubtedly means that the balance of strength 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 were also rapidly gathering, and their advantages were self-evident.
"Julis, Jarvi, you two bastards!"
I saw Skaar holding a giant sword and leading his guards angrily to the front of Ulis's army. He said with murderous intent: "You actually opened fire on General Thain and the soldiers of my traditional nobles. You must bear the consequences of this." General’s wrath!”
"General Skaar, be patient."
Arrow General Yarvi first walked up to the angry Demon Hunter General and explained with a smile on his face: "You have also seen what happened just now. General Thain is in full decline and is bound to be defeated. If he flees in a hurry, he will surely be defeated." Being pursued by the opponent's cavalry."
"At that time, not only General Thain's men will be annihilated, but the opponent's cavalry troops will also come to kill them. Will your infantry subordinates be the opponent of the opponent's angry cavalry?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Yars's voice: "In that case, in order to protect you and our subordinates, it was just a helpless move. At least we eliminated the opponent's vitality."
"Having said that, your methods are too despicable. Don't let me, the general, find an opportunity to deal with you."
Skar's eyes were gloomy and he responded calmly.
There's a hint of threat and a hint of compromise.
Skar, who is also the general of the kingdom, naturally understands clearly.
If internal strife breaks out now, the only way out for all of them is death.
Therefore, while the alliance is still there, it is better to kill the damn Lord Kongqing City first.
"As for Old General Thain, we never thought that such a strong man would be killed by an unknown guy."
Looking at Skar's gloomy face, Alvi added: "However, please don't worry, General Skar, we have already avenged Old General Thain."
"That's right. If you dare to approach my general's magic cannon position alone, even a mosquito will be blown up to pieces by me."
Ulis looked at Hod who was completely covered by artillery fire, and sneered: "With such attack density and accuracy, even several fourth-level strong men will have no bones left, let alone just a mere Hod. He will die." No doubt!”
After finishing speaking, Yulis and Alvi looked at each other and laughed heartily.
However, before the two of them could laugh for a few seconds, the smoke from the battlefield gradually dissipated.
Hod's intact figure was seen, already out of the range of artillery fire, and approaching Sarah's position at high speed.
"How, how could this happen?!"
Seeing this, the laughter of the two proud generals of the kingdom stopped abruptly.
Instead, there was uncontrollable surprise and confusion, as if he had been slapped, and his face was extremely ugly. (End of chapter)
