Just when Lei Xiao was thinking with great interest, how the second prince's camp would respond.
Just listening to Hong Ye's crisp voice suddenly rang in Lei Xiao's ears: "Lord, in the middle area between those magic knights and the camp, another wave of quite impressive energy waves is also being released.
A precursor to some kind of spell."
"oh?"
Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise in his eyes as he watched the battle intently.
Due to the extremely fast speed of the cavalry, at this time, the five magic knight squadrons and the five assault cavalry squadrons formed a group, and they were only one step away from the position pointed by Hong Ye!
The next second, something unexpected happened.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Accompanied by a series of heavy muffled sounds.
I saw the assault cavalry in the lead, together with the war horses at their crotches, slamming into a pale yellow wall that gradually became clearer without warning, and clouds of blood mist immediately erupted from the cavalry's bodies.
Under the extreme speed, these unprepared assault cavalry and war horses were twisted and deformed almost in an instant. The shining armor on their bodies was like a ball of paper that had been crumpled, and their original shape could not be seen at all.
appearance.
As for the lances in the hands of the cavalry, most of them were thrown out of their hands, and a few were broken directly.
Others, under the influence of the huge impact, even lifted up the cavalry and war horses, and volleyed into the magical wall that suddenly appeared.
Seeing this shocking and close scene, the magic knights who were protected in the middle had no time to react.
Fear appeared in the astonished eyes of these magic knights, but they were permanently frozen in that moment, and more violent collisions began.
Broken staffs, blood-stained robes, and broken faces still showing shock began to pile up on the ground one after another.
This cavalry team advancing in a diamond shape was like ice melting on an iron plate, melting rapidly.
It wasn't until the first half of the team was completely destroyed by the impact that the magic wall "clicked" into pieces until it completely disappeared.
As for the second half of the cavalry who were lucky enough to survive, almost all of them were tripped to the ground by the corpses in front of them, or even thrown away, struggling to get up.
Since all this happened in just a few seconds, by the time Lei Xiao reacted, this elite cavalry team of a thousand people had already lost its combat capability.
"Lord, this is a type of wind-type barrier magic. Judging from the strength and condensation speed, it can only be released by at least two fourth-level powerhouses, or with the same combat power."
Seeing this sudden change, Hongye frowned slightly and introduced: "It is also possible that a strong wind magician used a high-level wind magic scroll to cast enhanced spells."
After a pause, Hong Ye added: "The range of influence of this wind barrier magic is not very wide. It has little effect on large-scale charges, but it just restrains a small group of elite cavalry troops."
"Understood."
Lei Xiao looked at the scene down the mountain in shock and opened his mouth numbly.
The combat strength of this elite cavalry team of a thousand people was equivalent to that of a first-order cavalry regiment. Unexpectedly, they were defeated so easily and fell into the sand.
You must know that the second-level squadron directly under your territory to protect your territory is only slightly larger than this size.
In surprise, Lei Xiao tilted his head towards Hongye and immediately asked: "Where is the caster?"
"Back to the lord, because the flow of energy particles on the battlefield is extremely chaotic, so based on the subtle energy changes, my subordinates believe that it is in the crumbling camp."
Hong Ye bowed to Lei Xiao, frowning and responded: "And from the current situation, it is not difficult to see that he has been hidden in it for a long time, just waiting for the cavalry to come to the door."
"I see, is this the second prince's response? The other party's mysterious commander is indeed extraordinary, and he actually caused the eldest prince's forces to suffer such a big loss."
Nodding slowly, Lei Xiao took a deep breath of the bloody smell and continued to observe.
Just as Hong Ye said, after blocking the reinforcements from the eldest prince's force, a large number of wind blades burst out from the camp of the second prince's force, and quickly swept towards the dismounted cavalry who were fighting hard outside the camp.
Come.
As the fierce wind spell particles shook, at least one squadron of dismounted cavalry staggered and fell to the ground, dying on the spot.
Seeing that all the reinforcements were lost, the opponent's counterattack was so strong, and the commander "Vince" mysteriously disappeared...the exhausted dismounted cavalry finally could no longer hold on and began to flee like birds and animals.
For a moment, long swords and battle flags fell to the ground one after another, and the scene became extremely chaotic.
"It seems that in this first round of confrontation between the two sides, the Second Prince's side took the upper hand."
His orange-white starry eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the remnant army of the great prince who had abandoned his armor, and nodded thoughtfully.
"It is true, but this is just the beginning. If nothing else happens, the cavalry commander on the prince's side must be a white knight who is well versed in cavalry tactics."
A look of solemnity appeared on Bert's old face and he said: "Among the military generals of the entire Cold Flame Kingdom, when it comes to cavalry tactics and intuition, except for the cavalry general Thain, I am afraid that no one can compete with the White Knight. Even
Those grassland archers have never gotten a single advantage from the white knights."
Bert's old face began to look more solemn, and he added: "Furthermore, the White Knight himself is still a fifth-level strong man, and it has happened many times before that he single-handedly defeated a cavalry regiment."
"Then let's take a closer look at how the frustrated white knight will respond."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and curiosity suddenly appeared on his face: "However, there is another thing that interests me, and that is who the mysterious commander of the second prince's force is."
"Lord, this cavalry duel is the first battle between the two sides in this area, and both sides must take it very seriously."
Ju Bai held the holy sword at his waist, frowned and said: "From this, the person commanding the Second Prince's Cavalry Legion is most likely the same mysterious commander as the White Knight."
"In other words, is this not only a truly large-scale first battle between the two sides, but also the first confrontation between the commanders of both sides? It really makes people curious about what methods the two sides will use."
Staring at the ever-changing battlefield at the foot of the mountain, the curiosity on Lei Xiao's face began to become more obvious, and he said with great anticipation: "I believe this will be an extremely exciting confrontation."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the eyes of the subordinates around him were also focused on the battlefield below.
After the remaining dismounted cavalry were defeated, the defenders in the camp did not pursue them, but began to re-consolidate the camp without stopping.
As for the two cavalry camps on the plain not far away, they were like two giant beasts ready to attack, and no one was in a hurry to make the next move.
Just as the scattered soldiers began to approach the eldest prince's camp, the formations of the cavalry in the front army and flanks fluctuated slightly.
Accompanied by the loud and exciting horn sound, this time, the second prince's camp took the lead in launching the attack.
I saw that the front army and the light cavalry on both wings began to press forward in full force, charging towards the eldest prince's camp quickly. As for the middle army and the rear army, they advanced slowly and unhurriedly.
With the flag bearers taking the lead, tens of thousands of light cavalry shouted charging slogans, picked up sharp lances, and spurs mounted on the heels of their combat boots, constantly stimulating the horses under their crotches.
For a moment, dust was everywhere, the earth was shaking, and the scene of thousands of cavalry charging was extremely impressive, and the deafening sound of horse hooves on the ground made people's ears buzz.
"Lord, the Second Prince wants to take advantage of the momentum of destroying the opponent's elite cavalry just now and overwhelm the opponent's formation in one fell swoop."
When Bert saw this, he stroking his short white beard and introduced loudly: "As for the most elite central army and the rear army as a reserve force that are following closely behind, they are obviously prepared to wait until the opponent's formation shows flaws, and then give it to them.
A fatal blow."
"Lord, look, the eldest prince's camp has also begun to take action, but it only sent two wings of light cavalry to fight."
Along with the thundering shouts of death from the other side, Orange Bai's almost covered voice also came over: "Judging from the number, there are about six thousand people, which is nearly half less than the second prince's camp."
"Understood, six thousand against ten thousand? The White Knight must be planning something."
After hearing the introductions of the two kingdom generals, Lei Xiao nodded and stared closely at the cavalry from both sides that were getting closer.
Just when the distance between the two sides was less than one thousand meters.
The cavalry from the Great Prince's camp suddenly tightened the reins of their horses on the left wing, while the right wing began to gallop diagonally.
"What is the prince's side going to do? In the process of charging each other, once they actively slow down, it means destruction, and their number is far less than their opponents."
Bai Wei's clear and surprised sound penetrated the shouts of death that filled the air from the bottom of the mountain and reached Lei Xiao's ears.
As a member of the Snow Wolf tribe who also relied on charging to strike first, she naturally knew the importance of speed in combat.
"With such a simple and easy-to-understand truth, it is impossible for the White Knight to not be clear about it. It seems that he really has a plan."
Lei Xiao waved his hand, signaling to the young leader of the Snow Wolf Clan next to him to calm down, and smiled lightly.
After finishing speaking, another trace of doubt appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
There is nothing unusual on the current battlefield. What is the White Knight planning?
Just when Lei Xiao just thought of this.
Corresponding to the stalled left-wing cavalry of the eldest prince, the rushing right-wing cavalry of the second prince, the front chess players and the cavalry in the front row suddenly also came to a standstill.
As the saying goes, the hooves of the horses under the cavalry in the front row suddenly got stuck in the mud and they struggled to pull them out.
"It's swamp magic!"
This sudden scene made Ariel couldn't help but blurt out: "Lord, my subordinates know that when the magic knights detoured from the army and went to the camp for reinforcements, before trying to cast group magic, they also released
Swamp magic!"
"That's true. I didn't expect the White Knight to hide such a skill. Is this the core of his plan?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise.
For second-level elite magicians, swamp magic, a common water magic that relies on the land, is obviously not a problem to be cast instantly when cast in a group and undergoes rigorous training.
"I have thought about this idea of changing the terrain of the battlefield before. After learning about it later, I found that there are indeed many classic battles in the history of this world."
"This creates a competition between commanders, not simply who can cast spells, but who can cast them quietly, and see through or crack the opponent's spells."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and thought to himself: "But the white knight's move and the second prince's mysterious commander's method at the beginning have obviously reached an unexpected level."
On the battlefield, the cavalry on the right wing of the second prince accidentally fell into the quagmire.
As expected, the cavalrymen in the rear row who were unprepared were suddenly bumped into from behind, causing the neighing of horses and the screams of people to be heard endlessly.
Although the cavalry will deliberately control the distance between the front team and the rear team when charging, the speed is too fast after all, giving ordinary soldiers no chance to react.
It wasn't until the horse flipped over that the cavalrymen in the rear row pulled the reins with panic on their faces.
Just when these soldiers felt lucky that they had just avoided a trampling on each other, they were greeted by a deadly rain of arrows.
The instigator of the rain of arrows was naturally the left-wing cavalry that had previously stopped on the opposite side of the Great Prince.
The prince's right-wing cavalry had already circled around the opponent's flank that was bound by the swamp. After several rounds of arrow rain, they immediately launched a new round of charge.
Facing a dense rain of arrows and opponents charging from the side with lances.
These panicked cavalrymen of the Second Prince tried hard to pull the reins to change direction and swing their spurs, trying to attack them. However, the horses were already overwhelmed by arrows and swamps, and did not listen to the instructions of the riders at all.
Needless to say, the final result is just like what Bai Wei said just now. The other side that stagnates means destruction.
These cavalrymen who were wandering in circles were either pierced by arrows through their light armor or pierced by the spears thrust by their opponents. They had almost no ability to resist.
"This group of about 3,000 soldiers, whose path was blocked by swamp magic, is about to be quickly annihilated by the eldest prince's two wings."
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and said to himself: "Concentrate superior forces to destroy part of the opponent first? It is indeed a good strategy."
As for the Second Prince's front army and left wing who were still charging, although they saw this scene, they obviously had no time to turn back and rescue them, so they had to grit their teeth and continue running forward.
The opponents they faced were the great prince's most elite heavy cavalry and some of the assault cavalry.
I saw the tank-like heavy cavalry leading the way, the slender metal lance in their hands reflecting a bit of cold light under the illumination of the two suns.
