"Drive!" The Cross Bauhinia Knights rode out into battle, heading to the front to seduce the enemy.
"Form up! Be careful to hide!" Nyx pulled out a slender staff, and streams of magical elements flowed around her staff.
"Cheer up! Be careful, we are facing Dongyi people riding chariots! They are ferocious, powerful, and well-equipped!" Grand Duke Nyx sighed.
At this time, the Crusaders were not the army with a hundred thousand people in history. This army was composed of militiamen and professionals, with a number of only 5,000 people. Now they are about to usher in the first battle with the Dongyi people.
A collision!
"Huh~" The heavy breathing of the Cross Bauhinia Knights came from under their visors. Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, the Cross Bauhinia Knights took out the flails hanging on their horses!
"Gah!" The rounded flail flew up with a shower of warm blood, and a corpse with a sunken chest flew out of the truck. After rolling on the ground several times, it convulsed a few times and died.
Moved!
A well-made flail is indeed a can-opening artifact. Once it is opened accurately, it hits the leather armor. The affected area will immediately be dented and bruising. If it hits the iron armor, the fun will be even greater! The flying iron sheets and blood flowers will tell the story.
How wrong it is for them to flail directly with their bodies.
"Kill them all!" The eyes of the charioteers who were suddenly beaten were bloodshot. They suddenly accelerated their riding whips, operated their chariots, and turned around to pursue the Cross Bauhinia Knights.
"They are coming!" The knights looked back and found that the Chariot People's reconnaissance force had been successfully seduced by them, and they speeded up their horses with confidence.
"The enemy is about to join the battle! Get ready for the impact!" shouted the Knights of the Cross and Redbud as they climbed over the hill. Not far behind them were charioteers riding chariots and holding spears.
"Keep the lineup!" Grand Duke Nyx swallowed his saliva and said with a trembling voice.
"Kill!" The charioteers driving chariots climbed over the mountain and appeared in front of everyone.
"Raise your guns! Resist the horses!" Some grassroots officers spontaneously took command of the troops. Whether they were recruiting light infantry or professional soldiers, they all raised their spears. Steel shields or wooden shields were erected in front of them by the soldiers.
.
"Welcome the impact!" Facing the huge roaring chariot, the officers shouted with all their strength. Only by successfully blocking the momentum of the chariot can they have any hope of victory. Otherwise, the chariot with terrifying impact can easily step on it.
Break their ranks into pieces, drive them away, and massacre them.
"Boom~" Several chariots jolted, and the horses pulling the chariots slammed into the shield wall of the soldiers. Suddenly, a piece of the shield wall was overturned by the terrifying inertia of the horses. The axles inlaid on the wheels of the chariots
The blade sharply cut through the armor of the soldiers on both sides. The soldiers wearing iron armor were fine, but their armor was cut. Some professionals were protected by their fighting spirit and their armor was not even broken, but the light armor without armor was not broken.
The infantrymen were in misery! For a time, their armor was flat and blood was flowing out like a fountain! Suddenly, dozens of light infantrymen covered their wounds and fell into a pool of blood, wailing and struggling.
"Tangled with giant vines!" Grand Duke Nyx's starry eyes flashed, and a flash of emerald green light flashed. Several huge vines burst out of the ground and quickly wrapped around the wheels that were rolling crazily, suddenly under the action of huge tearing force.
The entire chariot was torn to pieces, with countless parts scattered on the ground, and the three charioteers on the chariot also fell down along with the broken chariot.
"Pfft!" A few ordinary soldiers wearing linen robes embroidered with cross patterns came forward and knocked over the tank warriors who had just landed and were still a little confused.
"Pfft!" A soldier casually raised the spear in his hand and provoked a passing charioteer with one shot. Drops of corpse blood flowed down the gun barrel to the ground.
"Ah!" Several charioteers fell down after being hit by arrows.
After experiencing the initial panic, most of the soldiers of the Crusaders came to their senses. Under the leadership of the grassroots officers, they reorganized and surrounded all the chariots that unexpectedly rushed into the crowd.
"Where's the archer? Fire arrows!" After seeing that there were still many charioteers hiding in the chariots and resisting, Grand Duke Nyx had no choice but to issue an order for a long-range attack. After all, he risked the lives of his soldiers for these crazy people who were destined to die.
It's extremely uneconomical.
"Shoot them! Let them see how powerful we are, young man!" Some knights reacted, and with a wave of their hands, several archers loaded their bows and arrows.
"Ah!" A shrill scream rang out. How could the chariot people who were still resisting resist the powerful and heavy shooters attack? Their thick leather or iron armors were pierced by the longbows of the shooters one after another.
The warm corpse fell under the chariot.
"Look to see if there are any alive! Make sure there are no fish that slip through the net!" Finally, after the enemy was overwhelmed by the rain of arrows, the officers stepped forward little by little and ordered the soldiers to clean the battlefield and apply additional wounds.
The Crusaders who received the order were also smart people. They raised their spears one by one and flogged the already dead charioteers from a distance.
"Sir! They are all dead!" the soldiers said, claiming credit.
Looking at the chariot civilians who had turned into blood gourds in front of them, the officers grinned. I asked you to do some last-ditch damage instead of flogging the corpses! Look at the damage done to these corpses... not even humanoids anymore.
…
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" A Crossed Bauhinia Knight walked towards the silent Grand Duke Nyx.
"Only a few tanks this time? Even these enemies caused heavy losses to our soldiers, and almost caused the collapse of the army... Now I have some doubts about whether the Eastern Expedition was a mistake!" The corners of Nyx's mouth twitched.
, the light in his eyes dimmed.
She originally thought that she would expel the enemy, regain her homeland, and return to the land of the Principality of Nyx to rebuild the country just like in the novel. However, the ruthless reality dealt a heavy blow to Nyx. The encounter just now made her understand clearly that she
This crusaders under his command are really a ragtag group! Maybe except for the comfort they can bring to Nyx in terms of numbers, they have no other merits.
"Your Highness, you need to believe in yourself! You need to believe in us! No matter what, we will stand in front of you and fight for you! Until the last drop of blood is shed!" the knights said passionately.
It's a pity that Nyx doesn't have a real general under his command. If Renault were here, he would order to cover up the traces of the war as soon as possible, and then withdraw the entire army from here, instead of going down this road! Because of the missing
The patrol team will always attract the attention of others, and soon a second, larger investigation team will follow the place where they disappeared...
"Okay! Thank you for your trust! Then we will continue to fight! Try to defeat the enemy as soon as possible!" Nyx clenched his fists, his red face full of determination.
If Roland is probably going to cry here, this little girl is really not afraid of tigers. She probably doesn't know how many enemies there are at her destination. Not to mention the crusaders with 5,000 militiamen and soldiers, they are just a regular crusade.
The Lagrand Army will suffer big losses if they come here!
"Clean the battlefield! Let's camp out front for the night tonight!" Nyx said as he looked at the clean and open mountain pass in front of him.
"Okay, Your Highness!" Several knights rode out to investigate ahead.
