Chapter 887: Showdown in the Stargazing Corridor (Part 2)
The murderous Stargazing Corridor has been divided into three parts.
In the dark night, Lei Xiao, who transformed into a dragon knight, rode the red night and the fierce battle with the blood dragon puppet became more and more fierce.
Under Hong Ye's scorching dragon breath and sharp claw attacks, the Blood Dragon Puppet was evenly matched at the beginning, but now it is tired of dealing with it, and is gradually at a disadvantage.
However, although it looks riddled with holes and a lake of blood and bones, it is actually extremely rough-skinned and thick-flesh.
In particular, the blood-red dragon's breath it sprays out is extremely corrosive. Just a little bit of it is enough to make Hongye's scales smoke, which is evident from this.
In addition to the battle in the sky, the battles on the ground between Wu and the man in black robe No. 3, Theresa and the man in black robe No. 10, and Jiang Li and the Black Duke are also going on fiercely.
This is different from the initial testing and restraint of each other.
This time, no matter which of the fifth-level strong men on both sides of the enemy and us are firing, they are full of firepower and murderous intent. Their shots must be killing moves. They have only one purpose, and that is to kill the opponent!
In the anxious battle situation, everyone clearly understood.
Whether it is the orc army of No. 3 and Black Duke, the small elite troops that infiltrated various cities, the sandworms and underground legions, or the huge fleet of air pirates.
It's Lei Xiao's summoned army of knights, dragon knights, Northern Army, Crystal Blue City, and Dragon Sealing Shuiyue reinforcements. Almost all the trump cards of both sides have been revealed.
In this situation where the outcome is still undecided.
What remains to be fought next is the fighting strength and will of both sides.
Especially for a top-level combat power such as a fifth-level warrior, once one of them falls, it will be a huge blow to the enemy's morale, and it can even become a weight that can tip the scales of victory and completely establish victory.
This undoubtedly means that the war has entered a fierce stage.
Therefore, every fifth-level strong man naturally does not dare to neglect, and wishes to kill his opponent immediately.
For a moment, the huge stargazing corridor was filled with turmoil.
Whether it is a battle situation in the sky, or a battle situation in mid-air or on the ground, the fierce waves of energy that are constantly surging out cause the space to shatter and hurricanes to spread. The momentum can be described as extremely astonishing.
However, in the third battle situation on the battlefield not far away, the enemy's four kingdom generals' legions were facing each other, as well as our five pursuing legions, but there was no room to watch the exciting top-level battles.
Duel between the strong.
I saw the fighting spirit boiling in the eyes of every soldier, and pairs of shining sharp blades reflected an icy cold light under the cold moon, reflecting the faces filled with murderous intent.
Everyone clearly understands that this battle situation is enough to completely tip the balance of victory in the war, causing the opponent to be defeated like a mountain and without any room for maneuver.
"Your Highness, let's get ready to start. This battle will determine life and death."
In our well-organized Chinese military formation, Orr saluted Ariel, caressing her chest, and after getting the latter's consent, he ordered the messenger to blow the horn of attack.
It is exactly the same as the enemy's cavalry protecting both flanks, infantry in front, and long-range behind.
Our side also formed exactly the same standard formation to face the enemy.
This has been proven in countless wars in human history.
Although this way of arranging troops seems extremely simple, it can advance, attack, retreat or defend. It can be quickly changed according to the battlefield situation and the needs of the commander, so as to deal a fatal blow to the opponent.
In other words, although the formations are exactly the same, what can be tested is the commander's personal command ability and on-the-spot adaptability.
Just like the opening of a chess game, the exact same formation can produce countless shocking games in the hands of different chess players.
On the two wings of our formation are the cavalry regiments led by Hod, the rear army is the magic long-range troops led by Orange White, and the center army is the archer troops led by Orr.
The only difference is that our front army deployed two legions, commanded by Bert and Benson respectively.
"To the cavalry who are loyal to Her Highness the Princess and fight for Your Majesty the Guest, the opportunity for us to perform has come. Break the enemy's shield and pierce the enemy's chest. Let us break the myth of the Kingdom's generals being undefeated!"
After our side blew the attack horn, Hodder, who was already ready to attack, raised his lance high and launched an attack on the opponent's camp first.
Part of this cavalry regiment was brought by Hod from Golin City, and the other part was composed of elite cavalry from various places.
In the previous siege that was like a meat grinder, Lei Xiao specially ordered this cavalry regiment to only provide support from the rear, so the structure was kept most intact.
After Hod's order, both wings of our cavalry came out in full force, like two giant pincers, galloping straight towards the opponent.
Thumb! Thumb! Thunk!
The trembling sound of the horses' hooves hitting the ground, mixed with the neighing of the horses, echoed wildly in the stargazing corridor with a limited width.
The scene of tens of thousands of cavalry sweeping in like a torrent of steel, even under the cover of darkness, is still extremely shocking.
Especially after Lei Xiao's change of equipment, all the cavalrymen were equipped with third-level equipment. Although everyone suppressed the brilliance of the equipment, making it difficult for the enemy to distinguish, this undoubtedly greatly encouraged the cavalrymen.
Morale and confidence.
I saw that the person commanding the left cavalry was Hod himself, and our commander commanding the right cavalry should not be underestimated either. It was Sarah who was leading the charge with Xiao Zhao.
After a fierce battle over Wangxing City, although Sarah and Xiao Zhao were temporarily unable to summon, they were both true knight commanders.
The former inherited the war experience of the previous kings of Loren, while the latter accompanied the previous kings of Loren through countless fierce battles. Naturally, he was not comparable to ordinary generals.
After the cavalry launched the first attack, our remaining four legions did not stay where they were, but also pressed forward across the board.
In particular, the magic artillery unit located in the rear army even surpassed the central army and began to advance side by side with the forward infantry army.
At this point, our intention could not be more obvious.
The range of our magic cannon is already higher than that of the opponent, if the opponent chooses to bombard us with magic cannon.
Even if our cavalry suffers a certain loss, our magic cannon troops that follow will quickly destroy the opponent's magic cannon position and the opponent's long-range army.
"Hey, let me teach you what it means to be a real cavalry warrior."
The cavalry general Sion immediately discovered our intention, and his murderous old face was full of disdain. He also urged his mounts and led his men to meet us.
This ruthless veteran who represents the traditional nobility clearly understands.
Once the cavalry on both sides come into close contact and form a melee, the long-range power will undoubtedly lose its effect.
At that time, as long as the opponent's cavalry is defeated and then the charge is launched towards the opponent's long-range army, everything will naturally be settled.
Half of his cavalry regiment is heavy cavalry, which can easily resist the arrows of archers.
As for the magic cannon, no matter how far the range is, the cooldown time is relatively long. As long as it can rush forward, it is no different from a frost sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Under the leadership of Thain, the enemy's cavalry regiment was already ready to attack, and its momentum was equally astonishing.
Like two sharp arrows leaving the string, while maintaining an orderly charging formation, he leveled his lance and launched the charge with a ferocious look on his face.
"Preparing to release those things, let them see the horror of what we are waiting for."
As he gradually increased his speed, Thain snorted coldly and ordered to the adjutant beside him.
It didn't take long, accompanied by the rapid galloping of the horse's hooves.
The tens of thousands of cavalrymen on both sides of the enemy and ours were able to clearly see each other's helmets and armors.
At this moment, the enemy's camp cracked open, and hundreds of huge but extremely agile ferocious monsters suddenly emerged, galloping towards us.
I saw that these magical beasts looked like leopards and tigers, with hard and slender bristles on their backs, some like porcupine thorns. When they rubbed against each other, they made a harsh "swish" sound.
As for his appearance, he is even more ferocious. Not only is his mouth full of saliva, but his sharp fangs are exposed, reflecting an icy cold light in the moonlight.
"Haha, Hod, you don't think I'm really going to charge you head-on, do you?"
Thain looked at the Warcraft that was rushing towards the opponent with satisfaction, his old face full of disdain.
These monsters are called equine beasts. They are all at the peak level of the second level and are the absolute nemesis of all horse mounts.
When you see the horse-loving beast, the opponent's formation will be in chaos.
By then, it will be easy to kill these guys.
Seeing this scene, the guards around Thain also had playful expressions on their faces.
These horse-loving beasts were acquired by the General at a huge price from the barbarians not long ago, and were equipped with 100 barbarian beast trainers.
In the previous drills, it could be said that they were victorious in every battle. One cavalry squadron could be frightened off by one. This time, the opponent's cavalry will definitely die!
However, something happened that Thain and his guards did not expect.
Facing hundreds of ferocious horse-eating beasts with bared teeth and claws, our cavalry formation did not panic, but continued to charge forward.
When the two sides got closer, Thain and others were surprised to find out.
At the forefront were a group of crystal clear ice knights and a group of stone cavalry puppets!
"Not a real person?!"
Before Thain could react, the extremely fast ice knights and thousands of heavy cavalry puppets had already pierced the horse-loving beasts with their lances, almost without any hindrance.
At the beginning of the battle, Lei Xiao had already handed over the command of the Ice Knights to Hod, and the cavalry puppets were summoned by the Summoner Squadron.
After experiencing the previous battle with the orcs in Luolong City, even the summoned cavalry of the summoner squadron also suffered heavy losses.
But it is more than enough to summon a large group of heavy cavalry.
Seeing this scene, Hod, who was leading his cavalry in the second echelon, suddenly broke out in cold sweat from his forehead.
If he had led his subordinates to rush into the first echelon, I'm afraid things would have been in danger by now.
Even though he has a powerful ability to soothe horses in his training method, the horse-devouring beast is the natural enemy of horses, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce his soothing effect.
Fortunately, the lord ordered such action in advance, so we escaped the disaster.
"Sain, as the cavalry general of the Cold Flame Kingdom, not only do you dare not fight openly, but you also allow your own territory to wailing and tombs everywhere."
With the excitement in his heart, Hod shouted in a deep voice: "Such a despicable act brings shame to the knights, and he is not worthy of becoming a knight general!"
"It's a joke. The so-called chivalry is just a game between nobles. I didn't expect that a fool like you would actually practice it."
Thain's old face was full of disdain, and he responded coldly: "Thousands of years ago, there was a Kingdom of Loren that was as naive as you, but it was eventually destroyed. This time, I will also completely destroy you!"
After speaking, the lance in Thain's hand flashed with cold light, and he was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, smashing the ice knight at the front to pieces.
At this moment, the old general understood clearly.
Although the horse-loving beast has not played its due role, it has still made the opponent tremble to a certain extent, so just defeat the opponent head-on!
Under the leadership of Thain, the other enemy cavalry were greatly boosted in morale and rushed towards the first echelon of ice knights and knight puppets.
I saw that the enemy cavalry was well-trained and well-organized. It took almost no effort to crush the ice knights and knight puppets of a thousand people.
Then he pointed the sharp lance in his hand at the following Hod and the Gelincheng cavalry.
"Chivalry is indeed a game between nobles. Most people will not really apply the moral principles in it to civilians. It is just a means of rule."
Hod's voice was tenacious and sonorous: "But you cannot represent everyone. As long as there are still people who are willing to follow the motto of the King of Heroes and become a shield to protect the civilians instead of a sword to pierce the civilians, there are still people who are willing to fight for the common people."
If the common people fight, the knights will never disappear!"
After saying that, the lance in Hodder's hand glowed brightly, and he and Thain, who was galloping from the opposite side, stabbed each other fiercely with the lance in their hands!
Sparks flying from the high-speed friction of the two lances were seen, reflecting the figures of two equally burly knights.
Because Hod and Thain's riding and spear skills are extremely superb, and Hod possesses the fifth-level magic weapon bestowed by Lei Xiao.
Therefore, although Hod's strength is at level four and two stars, which is quite different from Thain, who is level four and eight stars, he is not far behind. He is almost tied with his opponent, and no one stabbed anyone.
While the two generals were fighting hand to hand.
Many of the other cavalrymen who followed the two men in charge collided violently with each other, causing them to flip over and screams and curses echo through the sky.
At a glance, pierced breastplates and blood-stained lances were scattered throughout the battlefield, and trampled corpses were dotted under countless horses' hooves.
The thick blood mixed with the soil flowed freely, and was trampled by the horse's hooves into splattering blood flowers. It was then covered by more corpses that fell from the horse, making the whole scene extremely intense.
After this, Hod and Thain immediately turned their horses' heads. The slender lances in their hands had been replaced by knight's swords. With the sword blades dancing, they began to fight on horseback again.
For a moment, the two generals were so powerful that they kept waving their swords, so that no cavalry from the enemy or our side dared to step forward to help in the battle.
It can be clearly seen on the bloody battlefield.
Although the cavalry under Thain's command were more regimented, our soldiers were better because they were well-equipped, and for a while they were evenly matched.
