Chapter 186 Field Battle (Part 2)
Chapter 186 Field Battle (Part 2)
The two huge legions were like two wild beasts that had been fighting for a long time, and were already a little tired. They were panting and staring at each other with fierce blood-red eyes, gently licking their wounds, and at the same time, they were staring at the other party with vigilant eyes, ready to take up a fatal blow to the other party at any time!
Tiger finally couldn't bear it anymore. He sent out the special forces of the Rolanders: the chariot!
The combat chariot convoy is a famous special forces in the Roland Continent. The characteristics of this army are: strong and powerful in the impact, especially in the open plains and the frontal impact force is very terrifying.
Each chariot is made of iron wood, a specialty of Roland Continent. It is extremely strong. The general fireball technique has no hair to destroy them. There are sharp blades on both wings on both sides. When the carriage gallops, the wheels roll, and the blades on both wings are as terrifying as a sharp whirlwind!
Each carriage is equipped with three selected hardcover warriors. The figures and strengths of these people are selected according to certain standards, wearing armor comparable to heavy armored infantry, and have strong protection capabilities. One of them controls the carriage, and two others, one holding a spear and the other holding a battle axe. In addition, there is a huge shield wrapped in cowhide. When charging, it can withstand the attack of enemy archers. When it is close, the soldiers immediately put down their shields and take up the spear and battle axe to attack.
Each carriage is equipped with two excellent war horses. These war horses are selected and strictly trained. In terms of strength, ordinary war horses are much stronger, but their speed and endurance can be slightly weaker. The horses are also light armored and have certain protective abilities.
It can be said that this kind of army has a very powerful lethality in the frontal confrontation in the open plains. The sturdy carriage is like a fortress that quickly strikes the enemy, and can easily destroy the opponent's dense heavy armored infantry formation. The archers behind the infantry have extremely limited damage to them.
Imagine that when a person's flesh and blood body is facing heavy and solid chariots head-on, it is definitely a nightmare!
The advantages of this kind of chariot are very obvious, but their weaknesses are also quite prominent - this is also an important reason why Tiger did not send this army before. Another reason is that the cost of this kind of chariot army is extremely expensive, even far exceeding several times that of a Knight of the same size!
The iron-wood-made chariot is expensive, and the maintenance and repair costs are even more amazing. The soldiers on the chariot are carefully selected warriors, which are extremely precious. It may be easy to cultivate an ordinary soldier, but it is difficult to cultivate such soldiers. They can only be selected from the army layer by layer. Horses are also powerful war horses that are selected from a hundred miles away. In addition, the cost of weapons and armor is a huge expense.
This chariot army is a special army unique to the Soren Kingdom of Roland Continent - that is, the Soren Kingdom. Other small kingdoms of Roland Continent do not have the strength to support such an expensive army, and they cannot select so many excellent soldiers.
Even if the Kingdom of Sauron occupied half of the Roland Continent, it only had 3,000 chariots and had 10,000 soldiers. However, compared with the Royal Knights of 50,000, the cost of this 10,000 chariot convoy was much higher.
"It's time..." As the low war drum sounded, the troops of both sides gathered in the wilderness together. Tiger thought to himself: "Look at whether this battle chariot can compete with the terrifying Thunder Whip head-on."
Of course, there is another idea that Tiger dared not use the chariot team in advance because he knew very well that this chariot team was the ace of the Kingdom of Sauron! The real trump card! His Majesty the King spent countless money to create a terrifying war machine. The purpose is to fight against the invincible Saint Knights in the Roland Continent!
King Sauron had great ambitions, so he was naturally dissatisfied with the situation where the royal power was suppressed by the clan. This chariot team was to compete with the biggest ace of the Sacred Knights when the kingdom and the Divine Cult turn against each other in the future!
After the loud military trumpet was sounded, the military formation of the Empire of Light began to move slowly.
In front of the formation is a heavy-armored infantry phalanx of tens of thousands of northern legions, with cavalry on both sides...and so on, cavalry?
Tiger frowned, why didn't Thunder Whip appear?
After the officers in the imperial camp shouted loudly, the square formation of tens of thousands of heavy-armored infantry regiments slowly moved forward, and the soldiers let out neatly shouts. The morning sun shone on the bright armor on their bodies and the swords in their hands, shining cold light.
The neat square formation slowly moved forward, the unified pace and the heavy footsteps, as well as the ding-dong sound of the armor and weapons colliding when the soldiers advanced, hit the Rolanders' hearts hard.
Tiger looked solemnly, and looked at the enemy in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If I had one hundred thousand such elite infantry..."
He immediately shook his head. It was a war now, and this inexplicable thought was meaningless.
He whispered, and his commander immediately conveyed the order.
The Rolands' military formation slowly made a wide gap, and then the sound of the horns was heard, and the sky and the earth were shaken!!!
No one who has ever seen such a scene in front will never be able to experience that shock!
With a low and heavy horn sound, the sky and the earth were shaking in an instant!! Thousands of carriages formed a powerful charge, like a sudden awakening of a flood and beast, rushing towards the imperial camp in the wilderness with a shocking roar! The sound of wheels crushing, the sound of horse hooves trampling on the earth, the roar of war horses, and the loud shouts of soldiers. All these sounds mixed in everything. Although they didn't sound sharp and harsh, they seemed to make people's ears deaf and their hearts tremble!
The rolling wheels brought dust all over the sky. I saw a stream of dust covering the sky in front of me, and at the front were countless rapid-moving chariots. Although the distance was still far, it seemed that the roar of the other soldiers and their blood-red eyes could be heard!
The officers of the Empire of Light immediately realized the terror of the enemy in front of him. After giving the order, the archers hiding behind the infantry phalanx immediately launched a round of volleys! The dense rain of arrows like locusts pierced into the chariots that were charging. However, facing the heavy shields raised on the chariots, it was difficult to cause great damage to the enemy. Even if some arrows occasionally leaked in from the shields that could not be blocked, it was difficult to effectively kill soldiers wearing heavy armor.
After a rain of arrows, the other party has rushed closer!
"Prepare!!" The officers of the Empire shouted loudly.
The soldiers moved nervously, gradually considering and trying to make their square array more dense and thicker.
"Prepare!!!" The officer's shouts seemed a little nervous amid the deafening charges of the other party.
The soldiers in the front row inserted the huge shield in their hands to the ground, and then pressed them tightly with their bodies.
"Prepare!!!!"
The spearman stretched out the spear in his hand from the gap between the shield, and countless sharp spears raised up to meet the enemy that swept like a storm.
The collision finally occurred! When the first carriage hit the infantry phalanx, the spear was immediately broken by a huge impact force, and then the shield wall inserted on the ground was broken through the gaps. The soldiers flew across the flesh and blood to the ground, and some of them let out miserable wails for a moment.
Some of the most forefront carriages were pierced by spears, but these powerful war horses neighed and dragged the carriage and continued to run for several steps before falling down.
These few steps are enough!
After breaking through the frontal shield and spear, the subsequent chariot cut into beef and inserted into the imperial infantry phalanx like a knife!
The spears and tomahawks in the hands of the Roland warriors on the chariot, the rolling blades on the wheels of the two wings of the carriage, the impact of the chariot as strong as a rock, and even the trampling of horses, all became nightmares for the imperial infantry!
The infantry on the front could not fight the impact of the opponent's chariot head-on, while the infantry on both sides had been blown into pieces by the whirlwind blades before they even got close to the chariot!
Faced with such amazing war weapons, the quality of the imperial infantry was immediately reflected. If it were the soldiers of the Rolands, they would probably collapse soon in the face of such an amazing charge. However, the soldiers of the Northern Legion of the Empire of Light rushed up bravely, falling one by one under the rolling wheels of the chariot! Without retreating, these soldiers were determined to force them to death, and even tried to block the advance of the other chariot! Some soldiers picked up the broken spear on the ground, and stabbed the other chariot with their spears. The spear in their hands had just been inserted into the other chariot, and their bodies had been cut into pieces by the blade! Some soldiers simply rushed forward in three or five...
The imperial cavalry on both sides had already moved. They tried to attack the opponent's chariot formation from both wings, but Tiger had already made the Sacred Knights wait. After a whistle, the Sacred Knights, who had been waiting for a long time, divided into two groups and rushed towards the opponent's cavalry team...
It turns out that on the battlefield, when one of the two sides suddenly masters a special sharp weapon, it is always easy to gain an advantage within the time limit.
And this truth is verified by the Imperial Army!
It must be said that the Northern Legion brought by Miro showed great courage and quality, and they deserved to be the elite of the imperial army. In order to block the opponent's war chariot, they paid an extremely heavy price! Because they knew that if the opponent's war chariot rushed over, then the archers waiting for the archers standing behind the infantry phalanx would be a massacre! Light-equipped archers could not have any resistance in the face of such terrifying war weapons!
The cavalry on both wings had already fought with the Sacred Knights. Although the cavalry of the Northwest Army was strong, it was still a little worse than the Sacred Knights that were rampant on the Roland Continent. The entire imperial army was crushed to pieces. Tiger could see clearly from behind and immediately ordered several of his infantry regiments to rush forward!
Take this opportunity to completely defeat the opponent's tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop, and then take the opportunity to break through the opponent's defense line!!
Miro looked at his army with a gloomy face and was slaughtered and bleeding from the enemy. He gritted his teeth and retreated!
The archers in the back team were the first to retreat into the defense line. The walls of the village were pushed down one by one, and on the deep trenches were like flat bridges. The infantry in front were blocking the enemy's advance with their flesh and blood, while the soldiers behind retreated one after another.
Fortunately, the opponent's chariot was blocked by the thick and dense infantry phalanx, and the charge had stalled. Although the soldiers on the chariot still swept back and forth with spears and tomahawks around the surrounding imperial soldiers. However, facing the mountain of corpses and already stagnant wheels in front of him, the chariot could no longer roar.
All of these gave the imperial soldiers valuable time to retreat!
After seeing that the camp ahead was finally broken through, Miro gritted his teeth and issued another order!
Put away the village wall!!
Although there are still tens of thousands of infantry behind, and although the two cavalry teams on both wings are still fighting the opponent's Sacred Knights' order, the only way to survive behind has been closed!
The ropes on the village wall were pulled up, and the only retreating bridge on the trench had disappeared...
Seeing that the retreat was gone, the soldiers of these empires had no fear or sadness. The remaining people shouted, turned around and stared at the enemy behind with their bloodshot eyes, roaring desperately like wild animals, and then rushed up...
The imperial cavalry on both wings fought bloody battles to the end. They did not win the head-on battle with the Sacred Knights, but they did not defile the golden tulip battle flag flying high in the military camp behind them!
After the last imperial soldier on the battlefield fell, the Rolanders had no joy after victory, only deep amazement and fear!
The corpses and blood on the ground proved how fierce the battle had just been experienced here. The fallen injured horses did not die for a while, and whispered.
Every knight in the Sacred Knights was covered in blood, and he could no longer tell whether this blood was himself or an enemy. The sword they had already put down, but looking at the opponent who fell in front of him, the originally cold face was a bit strange.
This battle was the most tragic battle between the two sides in the second jihad. The Rolands' chariot convoy exerted its powerful and terrifying strength for the first and last time. This special war weapon was later called a "meat grinder".
Seeing the walls of the village erected again on the opponent's defense line, the arrows and fireballs in the hands of the archers and warlocks were tilted down like rain, Tiger finally sighed and ordered the troops to come back.
Although I finally won a game today, Tiger's heart was a little heavy...
Where is the Thunder Whip? Why didn’t it appear today?
Chapter completed!
