Although not as famous as the Fearless Vanguard and the Winged Legion, the Garrison Legion is also a front-line legion in Demacia, and most of its members are from the Demacian nobles in and around the capital.
These warriors have received professional military aristocratic education since childhood. They are proficient in bows and horses, and are familiar with various military skills. It can be regarded as a small backdoor left by the nobles for themselves - it has always been a Demacia tradition for the elite of the garrison to serve as vanguards.
, which makes it easier for them to make meritorious deeds.
In this wave of impact just now, the vanguard soldiers of the garrison fully demonstrated their proficiency in military skills. The sword formation and shield formation each performed their own duties and cooperated exquisitely. They were completely models of professional soldiers.
However, facing the sword formation cavalry and the shield formation cavalry arrayed like a wall, the plainswalkers in formation remained motionless.
Even though the overwhelming missile weapons were coming towards them, the plainswalkers on the front line still had thunder in their chests and faces as flat as a lake. Even when the drum beat sounded, they almost subconsciously raised their shields and started to press forward according to the drum beat, as if they couldn't see it.
Each one was like a moving wall of shield formations, facing the wall-charging vanguard.
The next moment, the Plain Walkers and the Pioneer Army finally collided.
Amidst the neighing of war horses and the clash of armor, the shield cavalry rushed into the arc of the Plains Walkers.
Sarah Lange, who saw the collision through the Hex telescope, was just excited, but before a smile could creep up on his lips, the war situation began to develop in a direction he did not want to see.
The plainswalker's arced front was indeed shattered at this moment.
But similarly, the moving walls formed by the acceleration of the shield cavalry also completely disintegrated after the collision.
The soldiers of the Plain Walkers seemed to be very experienced in facing powerful enemies. Although their formation was no longer neat and the frontline soldiers seemed to have suffered extremely heavy casualties, overall, after experiencing the attack of the shield cavalry,
After the wall charge, they still maintained the integrity of their actions.
At the line where the collision occurred, they did not adhere to the formation, but gave subtle redundancy, like a calm quagmire or silent quicksand, with thunder in their chests and a flat lake in their faces.
As a result, the wall-shaped squads of shield cavalry roared in one after another tore apart the front line formation and rushed into the plains walkers. They caused a lot of damage to the front line plains walkers, but at the same time, they also completely lost
Precious impact speed.
The shock cavalry, which had lost its speed and formation, was nothing more than a dish to the heavy infantry who had not fled in any way. You could eat whatever you wanted.
In this way, Sa Lange saw with splitting eyes a scene that was destined to become his nightmare - most of the shield cavalry were killed directly on their horses, and a small number of them took the initiative to dismount, relying on their horses to regroup and rush out, but they failed.
were quickly surrounded and eliminated.
Even during this process, the entire formation of the Plains Walkers was still maintaining a slow pace of advance. By the time Sa Lange put down the Hex telescope with sweat, they had already intercepted in the direction of the vanguard's main formation.
Come.
Reaching out and wiping it on his forehead, Sa Lange forced himself to calm down.
The command post he chose had good visual conditions, and with the help of the Hex telescope, Sa Lange had a good idea of the exchange ratio between the two sides after this charge.
After eating the shield cavalry, at least an equal number of plainswalkers withdrew from the battle.
Sa Lange knew very well what kind of background and training intensity the soldiers under his command had. After taking two deep breaths, he quickly made a definite judgment - he might have met the elite of Forsbarrow!
If you are not an elite unit, you cannot possibly do this in the face of a charge!
Moreover, after the charge, the enemy's line has become much thinner visibly to the naked eye. Although the two wings are also supporting the Chinese army, the intensity of the support is very limited. This situation should be due to Fossbarrow's side.
There are not many elites who can withstand the frontal impact of cavalry without collapsing.
Should we try to charge from the flank?
No, it's best not to.
On the one hand, this is because the shield cavalry under his command are not good at flanking attacks, and on the other hand, it is because the terrain here is not suitable for flanking charges.
Although the slope of the ground is not large, we are indeed in a posture of attacking from the rear. The enemy has cunningly chosen a trapezoidal battlefield that is not too wide. If we want to flank the battlefield, the broken terrain on both sides will prevent the cavalry from entering a charging posture.
In this case, the best way is to continue the frontal charge to break the surface and penetrate the middle!
"Commander, sergeant!" After realizing this, he finally shouted hoarsely, "Notify the cavalry, the first and second cavalry, charge in echelons!"
"Third Cavalry, prepare to charge!"
Following his order, flags were lit up one after another, and fast horses descended from the hill where the headquarters was located. Then, a low horn sounded, and the first and second troops who had been standing silently nearby protected the formation.
The cavalry seemed to have woken up from sleep and began to prepare for a charge.
Sa Lange looked at the two teams with great anticipation, watching the sword formation warriors start to attack and launch again, and watching the shield formation warriors forming a wall-like team.
Now that we have met the elite main force of the enemy, we must seize this opportunity to launch an echelon charge. The formation of the Forsbarrow people has become much thinner visibly to the naked eye. It is no longer difficult to mobilize the redundant warriors on both wings to the center. As long as the cavalry
The team launched an echelon charge against the Chinese army and penetrated the enemy's formation. The fruits of victory were destined to fall into their own hands!
"For the glory of Demacia!"
The hoofbeats of war horses rumbled, and the cavalry of the First Cavalry rushed into the Plains Walkers' line.
Time seemed to be stuck in a loop at this moment. In the narrow field of view of the Hex telescope, Sarah Lange saw a scene that seemed familiar.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The feet are deep in the mud and fall into the quicksand.
In a daze, Sa Lange seemed to sense that something was wrong, but before he could fully recover and figure out the crux of the problem, the Second Cavalry began to charge in accordance with the established orders.
This time, without using the Hex telescope, Sarah Lange could vaguely see the place where the two sides were fighting.
When he finally saw directly and on a large scale that the shield cavalry arranged in a wall formation rushed into the plainswalker's line as before, and then were quickly divided and eliminated, Sa Lange suddenly felt that his hands and feet were all numb.
A little numb, a little cold.
Bone-chilling fear spread, because on the flank of Plains Walker, which he had not paid much attention to before, the enemy took an attack stance for the first time.
Although the trapezoidal battlefield hindered the Xiongdu Vanguard Army's flank charge space, it gave the Plains Walkers ample room to display their flanks.
Although the Second Cavalry once again weakened the enemy's central army, in Sa Lange's field of vision, he could clearly see the protrusions on both wings of the Plain Walkers' semi-arc front. When the central army faced the enemy's attack,
Not only did they not support the center, but they took the initiative to rush forward, and at the same time they fully expanded and intercepted the two wings of Xiongdu's vanguard army.
When the Plains Walker's wings were fully unfolded, Sa Lange was shocked and speechless - he clearly saw that these people were not riding horses, but they possessed an astonishing speed that was not inferior to the heavy cavalry!
Not understanding why a group of infantrymen could run so fast, Sarange picked up the Hex telescope again in disbelief.
Then, he saw a scene he would never forget.
After the two-wing formation of the Pingyuan Walkers was unfolded, all the soldiers took out two battle flags from their waists. However, unlike ordinary triangular or long strip-shaped battle flags, the two flags were connected together and seemed to be embroidered with
The complex pattern, when these Plains Walker warriors carried it on their backs and fixed it on their armor, looked like they had many... sails on their backs.
That’s right, the sail!
Among these plain walkers, there were many unarmed people who were standing still, clasping their hands together, or making gestures, all of them with serious expressions and murmuring words.
And as they moved, the "sails" carried on the backs of the Plain Walker warriors also swelled.
It's the wind!
Howling north wind!
Under the influence of the third sequence of magicians' spells, the weight of plain walkers in a large area has been significantly reduced. They are like dandelion seeds coming in the wind. Relying on the whistling north wind and the magic circuit on their backs, gravity
It seems to them that it no longer exists.
Sa Lange looked ashen as he watched these "Dandelion Warriors" jumping towards his own flank in a way beyond his imagination.
Just like wings are made up of countless long strips of feathers.
The open wings of the plainswalkers were also composed of countless columns. After arriving at the predetermined position, they pulled out the sails behind them and simply reorganized their formation. One column after another, like a wedge, they fiercely
Wedged into the flank of Xiongdu's vanguard army.
Even though Sarange deployed protective troops on the flanks, in front of these "Dandelion Warriors", the thin flank protection formation was shattered at a touch.
After the flank protection troops collapsed, the Xiongdu Pioneer Army's originally well-hidden baggage troops, together with a large number of war horses, and the Third Cavalry, which was ready for a frontal charge, had no time to turn around to meet the enemy on both sides.
Exposed to their offensive.
Sarah Lange closed his eyes in pain.
No need to read any further.
In other words, he has seen everything.
Although he had 1,500 infantrymen under his command in addition to the Pioneer Cavalry and the 1st, 23rd and 3rd Cavalry, when the battle situation developed to this point, the number of people had lost its meaning.
In order to cooperate with the cavalry charge, the baggage troops under Sa Lange entered the battlefield - they needed to restrain the horses that were transferred during the cavalry charge and take them away in time to avoid hindering the subsequent cavalry charge.
Originally, this was nothing. Although the baggage troops themselves had little combat effectiveness and would be in chaos once attacked, don't forget, this is the attack round of the Xiongdu Vanguard Army!
In Sa Lange's judgment, the enemies were all infantry, and even if the infantry ran at full strength, they would not pose any threat to the baggage troops. Once they were outflanked, the infantry phalanx on their side would press forward.
It’s time to relax and wait for work!
However, what Jean-Salange never expected was that the Forsbarrow people actually adopted a method that he had never imagined, and cooperated with the demon-contaminated people, coming like dandelions with the wind, and even before the baggage train arrived, they
When he didn't completely drive away his own war horses, he killed them on the flank!
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these Dandelion warriors was quite astonishing. Within a few minutes, they defeated the flank protection troops left by Sa Lange as insurance and directly launched an attack on the baggage train.
The baggage corps is not a front-line combat unit. The baggage troops currently under Za Lange's command are all militiamen he temporarily recruited in Pinara City - these militiamen probably don't even have enough daily training. Where have you seen such a battle?
When the outflanking wings of the Plain Walkers collided with the baggage troops, the baggage troops completely collapsed in just one encounter, and the packhorses that had just been gathered by them and transferred before the cavalry charge also collapsed with these baggage troops and fell on the plains.
Driven by the travelers, they rolled back towards the infantry phalanx of Xiongdu's vanguard.
Due to the confusion of the baggage train and the pack horses, the 3rd Cavalry, which was originally facing the enemy and prepared to charge, was unable to counterattack for a while and could only be trapped and collapsed together.
What's even worse is that the Pingyuan Walkers who were outflanked on both sides did not even choose to merge and charge behind the collapsed packhorses and baggage troops. Instead, they continued to maintain a pincer posture with one left and one right, launching a pincer attack on the infantry of the formation.
Under such an offensive, the Xiongdu Pioneer Army's main formation was unable to look at each other, and they did not know where the enemy was before and after, and fell into complete chaos.
In this case, Sarah Lange had no choice.
"Guards!" He finally threw down the Hex telescope, "Everyone, mount up!"
"Commander!" His voice was already broken, "Retreat toward Pinara and collect troops along the way!"
"Secretary!" His voice became hoarse, "You go first and report everything that happened to His Majesty the Emperor!"
At this moment, the commander of the Xiongdu Pioneer Army made a decision - he knew very well that due to his own negligence and the enemy's exceeding expectations, the failure of this battle was inevitable.
Under the current circumstances, if you want to reduce losses and prevent this battle from turning into a battle of annihilation, the only way is to mobilize teams with organizational capabilities to launch a blocking charge against the two wing commandos of the Plain Walkers and fight for your own side to escape from the battle.
time.
Under Sa Lange's command, the only team with organizational capabilities at this time was his personal cavalry.
Following Sar Lange's order, his bodyguard cavalry quickly completed the assembly and followed him behind him in tacit understanding, forming a huge front arrow array.
Sa Lange carefully took out the battle flag with the Lange family emblem and tied it to his lance.
This sharp arrow rushed down from the hillock of the temporary command post, like a mantis with its wings spread out, trying to intercept the oncoming chariot.
