Zhao Zian thought that the enemy would attack the cavalry phalanx on the hillsides on both sides. He had the eight-oxen crossbows set up and was waiting for the storm cavalry to rush over. However, the storm army's attention was completely attracted by the cavalry retreating to the north, and they did not notice it at all.
More than ten miles away
Behind the hills on both sides, there were dozens of phalanxes of tens of thousands of people waiting solemnly.
Zhao Zian decisively seized the opportunity and immediately ordered the cavalry to retreat north. Even if the horses were killed, they must continue to lead the enemy's main force to the north. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to immediately move the eight-niu crossbows to a hillside twenty miles away in the northeast.
Transfer. Originally, the forward cavalry of the three routes were all decoys to lure the Storm Legion into the 300-mile encirclement that had been arranged. Now that Zhao Zian saw that the enemy had actually detached a part of the cavalry to collect the loot, he planned to eat these tens of thousands in one bite.
cavalry,
Even if you can't eat it, you still have to hit the enemy hard.
The speed of the cavalry was very fast. Soon the cavalry heading north could no longer be seen. The trembling of the earth gradually stopped, and they were probably dozens of miles away.
As for the 50,000 cavalrymen who went to collect the trophies, after they rushed into the camp, they seemed to be a little different from what they expected. It was an empty camp, but there were not many footprints around some campfires. It was obviously an empty camp with no one.
.
As for the spoils of war, they only collected some dry food and some shabby clothes.
After they cursed that the human cavalry were paupers, they began to set fire to some simple tents in the camp.
Zhao Zian received the news that a large group of Storm Cavalry regiments had been led nearly a hundred miles away. He did not wait any longer and decisively issued the order to attack.
A distance of more than ten miles is enough for the war horses to pick up speed.
The earth began to tremble again, but this time, the trembling was not from the celestial Stormtroopers, but from the roar of vengeance on earth.
There were about 500,000 cavalrymen, divided into heavy armored cavalry and light cavalry. Like two wings of wild geese, they quickly spread out and rushed toward the 50,000 storm cavalry who were setting fire to the camp.
The Storm Cavalry immediately sensed the enemy attack. The commander, while passing the news to the pursuing Commander Phantom, began to form a formation and prepare to fight. The advantage of the cavalry is impact. Once the cavalry stops, its combat power will be reduced by seven or eight.
Success, in less than a cup of tea, the light armored cavalry relied on their speed advantage to rush to the outskirts of the camp. These light armored cavalry did not directly
Instead of taking the kill, he wandered around the perimeter and quickly formed a half-moon-shaped encirclement around the Storm Cavalry who came out of the camp, constantly pulling the trigger of the crossbow in his hand.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Densely packed iron feather arrows were fired at the six-legged monsters that were charging towards them.
With the five-stone crossbow of Middle-earth, even the eagle shooter can only draw the bow more than a dozen times in a row, and his arms will have no strength. The five-stone crossbow made by the dwarf craftsmen is different. It does not draw the bowstring through human power, but
Through the operation of the winch mechanism, even ordinary soldiers can repeatedly cock the crossbow. All they have to do is pull the trigger. The power is not as powerful as
The five-stone crossbow has a strong crossbow. The arrows made of pure iron double the power of the crossbow, and can easily penetrate gold and stone.
Wherever there are people, there are fights. This kind of fight is called Jianghu. The heaven is not a perfect country without fighting and disputes. The four heavenly emperors restrict each other and fight with each other. There are also struggles among the various tribes in the heaven. If the heaven is really so beautiful, it will be the world's best.
A paradise where there is no selfish desire in the mind, why?
How could there be such a large and systematic army in heaven?
The army is responsible for killing and conquest. The more armies there are in the heaven, the more distinct the system is, which means the more cruel the struggle in the heaven is.
The six legions that descended to earth this time are all the elite main forces of the heaven. They fight in the heaven all year round and have extraordinary fighting power. In the dark night, there are drums urging war from all directions and the earth rumbles loudly. These elite cavalry of the heaven are not afraid.
They knew very well that once the cavalry stopped, they would be at the mercy of others, so they quickly launched a countercharge against the human cavalry.
Arrows filled the sky, like dense locusts, shooting at the six-legged evil beast cavalry that rushed towards them. These elite cavalrymen from the heaven immediately lowered their bodies, protected their heads, and used the armor on their backs to resist the attacks.
The coming rain of arrows.
Even so, many cavalrymen screamed and fell off the backs of the six-legged evil beasts. Those celestial cavalrymen had armor to protect their vitals, but most of the six-legged evil beasts under their crotches were only on their heads.
Wearing masks and armor, waves of arrows flew down, and a row of six-legged evil beast cavalry rushed at the front, like sickles instantly
The dead grass was swept away in the air, and he fell down.
But more six-legged evil beast cavalry immediately stepped on the bodies of their companions and pressed up from behind.
The light cavalry constantly relied on the speed of their galloping horses to wander around the perimeter, constantly firing their crossbows at the enemy cavalry that was pouring in from the dark.
Hatred, the hatred of generations, broke out without reservation at this moment.
In this battle, all the human warriors had already written their wills. Ever since they came out of Eagle Beak Cliff and gathered in this wilderness, they had no intention of returning alive.
The enemy was getting closer and closer, and waves of iron-feathered arrows could not stop the attacking portion of the 50,000-strong Storm Legion. After losing thousands of six-legged beasts, the Storm Cavalry finally rushed in front of the enemy.
Those evil beasts let out thundering roars, and the human cavalry's horses immediately became confused amidst the terrifying roars of the beasts.
More than 200,000 light cavalry immediately retreated to the two wings, not daring to engage the enemy head-on.
Just after the light cavalry retreated to make way for the open space, the heavy armored cavalry behind them had already arrived behind them. These heavy cavalry were the key to attacking the enemy formation. The warriors wore dozens of kilograms of heavy armor all over their bodies, and their horses were also covered in iron armor.
These heavy cavalry are made of gold. Not to mention the armor, each heavy cavalry carries three pieces of weapons and equipment, which is enough to envy those field infantry who run on two legs. Nearly two feet.
A long assault spear, a repeating crossbow, and twenty iron feather arrows. In order to specifically deal with the enemy's storm army, the curved sabers were all replaced with long-handled swords. As long as the sword is pressed against the lower abdomen,
Across the front, relying on riding
The powerful impact of the weapon can instantly cut the enemy into two pieces.
"It's the heavy armored cavalry of the world! Be careful!"
The commander of the Storm Legion, who was at the forefront, saw clearly the enemy cavalry rushing towards him like a black tide, and immediately roared loudly at the heavenly cavalry behind him.
There are not many human cavalry that can threaten the Storm Legion. One of them is the beast cavalry from the southern and northern borders. However, these alien beast cavalry are not in large numbers and the heaven has never taken them seriously.
The second is the cavalry of the Western Regions and the grasslands of the human world. They are a nation on horseback and are very powerful in combat. The third is the heavy armored cavalry of the humans in Middle-earth. Only the wealthy Middle-earth have the strength to equip such a force.
