I saw them moving forward quickly, and their shooting frequency did not weaken during the movement.
Deputy Commander Gary had to hide in the formation to avoid being caught in the fire, just like Gilbert just now.
The imperial cavalry not only had their commanders killed, but they were also attacked so strongly that in less than ten minutes, they lost more than 2,000 of their compatriots.
The phalanxes were being broken up one after another, causing their morale to plummet.
Gary watched the cavalry fall one by one, his heart was bleeding, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Retreat, retreat..."
At the same time, I prayed in my heart, hoping that they would not come after me...
The imperial cavalry began to stop and then turned back. It was obvious with a clear eye that they wanted to retreat.
Qin Feng immediately yelled: "Go back and kill them all. I want them to know the price of despising us..."
"Kill..." everyone roared.
Then he pulled the reins, stopped the horse uniformly, and then quickly turned clockwise.
The cavalry of the Three Thousand Battalion began to move slowly, but the attacks on their hands did not stop. On the contrary, because the imperial cavalry stopped, the accuracy of the members of the Three Thousand Battalion improved a lot.
"Retreat, retreat quickly..." Gary kept urging, and a large piece of the cavalry behind him had fallen.
When the imperial cavalry finally began to run quickly, their number was reduced by another 2,000.
What made them even more frightened was that three thousand battalions of cavalry followed them, and countless arrows and bullets still claimed their lives.
This caused them to completely collapse. They began to rush forward regardless of their formation, not caring whether they would collide with the knights in front of them.
However, the reality is cruel. The consequence of crowding is that a large number of cavalry stumble and trample each other, making the remaining people even more panicked.
After chasing all the way, when Gary returned to Keji City with the remaining imperial cavalry, he had less than 2,000 cavalry left.
This made him burst into tears, "No, my brothers..."
In Keji City, the place has been briefly cleaned, and newly built tents stand among them.
A dismounted general wearing heavy armor broke into the largest and most luxurious tent.
After seeing His Highness Ritter on the throne, he knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Highness Ritter, our cavalry is back..."
"Oh? Has the armed leader been captured? I will behead him in public, and I will tell everyone that my good intentions will turn into malice that he cannot bear..."
"No, Your Highness, the imperial cavalry suffered heavy losses. They only returned less than 2,000 people." The dismounted general replied.
"What?" Ritter was shocked and slapped the table in front of him hard.
"Heavy losses? How did they fight? Is Gilbert still alive? Let him come to see me..."
The walking general raised his head and said in a firm tone, "Gilbert has died in battle, Your Highness."
The cold light in Prince Ritter's eyes grew stronger and stronger, "Wells..."
"You lead 50,000 troops and must capture those rebels..."
"Yes, Your Highness." The walking general immediately stood up and strode out.
In Keji City, groups of soldiers began to come out one after another. In order to find traces of Qin Feng and others, Gary and the others were sent out again, all acting as scouts.
On the road leading to Yama City, which is the city where the portal is erected, Qin Feng led the cavalry to advance at a normal speed.
After they crippled the imperial cavalry, they stopped pursuing them and headed towards Yama City. They happened to be looking for Mage Murphy. They handed over the mission to him and then went back.
Qin Feng was still a little worried about the Tenglong Kingdom.
After an unknown amount of time, the black eagle flying in the sky came to the rear of the team and saw groups of imperial cavalry rushing towards them.
They stared at Qin Feng and his party from a distance, and then kept sending people to report behind them.
Qin Feng, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and muttered: "It doesn't hurt from being beaten..."
"In that case, I will beat you hard until you become honest..."
Qin Feng immediately raised his hand and ordered: "Stop...turn...when you see the empire's army...kill..."
The three thousand battalions of cavalry responded with a bang and immediately turned around and ran back. On the way, they were divided into 18 groups of a hundred people and quickly dispersed to attack.
There was still a guard beside Qin Feng, who was walking slowly backwards as if taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard. There was a light screen beside him and a black eagle watching the formation above his head, so he could always understand the dynamics and issue orders.
The soldiers of the Holy Yuan Empire soon met the three thousand battalion of cavalry...
On the vast loess, soldiers in neat square formations were waiting in formation, quietly looking at the 2,000 cavalry in front of them. This was their enemy, a powerful cavalry capable of defeating 10,000 imperial cavalry.
"defense……"
"The archers are ready... the catapults are ready..."
The dismounted general Wells stood on the chariot and gave orders calmly. He believed that his 50,000 troops would be able to defeat only 2,000 cavalry.
The phalanx of sword and shield soldiers at the front quickly tightened to form a dense formation. They held the iron shields in their hands in front of them, forming a shield wall.
In the Holy Yuan Empire, only the most elite troops can be equipped with magic equipment, while other troops currently have only ordinary weapons.
A large number of archers march forward in a phalanx. They will come to the front of the team and place the iron arrows in their hands on their big bows.
At the end of the team, huge trebuchets began to prepare, and blue magic balls were placed on them. Once thrown by them, these magic balls would explode in the sky above the enemy and scatter into countless blue magic balls.
Colorful meteor flames turn the entire area into a blue sea of fire.
The three thousand battalions have been dispersed and are semi-surrounded by the Imperial Army. They will first focus on harassment and wait for the enemy to reveal their flaws before striking out steadily.
"Hmph...arrogant..." Wells felt slighted by the scattered performance of the Three Thousand Battalion.
"I will make you pay the price..."
"Catapult...thrown..."
Hundreds of catapults then shot blue magic balls into the air, which exploded into countless small fireballs and fell downwards under the influence of gravity.
But the three thousand battalion cavalry just looked up and the soldiers in that area quickly dispersed. By the time those blue balls fell to the ground and formed a sea of fire, that area was empty.
"Damn it...is the enemy trying to weaken the lethality of my catapult by spreading out their forces like this?"
Wells knew Qin Feng's intention, but there was nothing he could do about it. These small groups of cavalry were too flexible, and the catapults were not accurate shooting devices. As a result, they fired five or six rounds without killing anyone.
Seeing that the opponent's cavalry was already very close to their front troops, if they let the catapult launch again at this time, they might kill their own people on the head.
So Wells said helplessly: "Stop the catapults and put all the teams in a defensive formation. The shield swordsmen are outside and the archers are inside to prevent the enemy cavalry from attacking..."
The entire imperial army changed its formations again. Each formation of ten thousand people changed in combination. Each formation was a circular defense, with shield swordsmen on the outside, a circle of archers inside, and other units and commanders inside.
The three thousand battalions of cavalry rushed past the circular square formation, raining down a wave of arrows before leaving quickly. The archers' shooting range could not reach the distance of the three thousand battalions.
Many arrows could only be inserted into the ground midway, posing no threat to the cavalry of the 3,000 battalion. Even if some strong men could threaten the 3,000 battalion cavalry with their arrows, at that time, the weak crossbows would
The arrows could not penetrate the Mingguang Armor of the three thousand battalion soldiers at all, and could only be bounced away in the end.
But the arrows fired by the Three Thousand Battalion were powerful enough to penetrate the iron shields. The shield swordsmen and archers all fell under the waves of arrows.
"ah……"
When the shield swordsman in front was shot through by an arrow again, the huge force flew him backwards...
While the archers behind him were still in a state of shock, an arrow suddenly flew out of the shield swordsman's body and penetrated into those archers.
The arrows with armor-piercing power did not stop until they penetrated four archers. When more arrows rained down, the entire defensive formation was immediately missing a corner.
"Make up, make up..." The officers quickly mobilized other reserves. Otherwise, if the cavalry broke into the formation, it would probably cause greater damage to them.
Wells gritted his teeth as he watched each phalanx being reduced layer by layer. "The distance of their bows and arrows actually reached 600 meters, and the furthest distance of the archers in my hand was only about 500 meters. No wonder Gilbert was killed."
defeat."
"Damn...can I just be beaten passively?" Wells hammered the edge of the chariot with his iron glove, looked at the ballista on the chariot, snorted, and ordered:
"When the ballistas and chariots are dispatched, I will make those armed forces feel like they are often shot at..."
In a large circular formation in the middle, a road suddenly opened, and 300 chariots sprang out from it.
These chariots are equipped with small ballistae, as well as a crossbow operator, a melee halberdier, and a driver.
Although the entire chariot is driven by two armored horses, they are no match for the cavalry in terms of speed or flexibility.
General Wells hoped that the small ballista on the chariot could threaten the three thousand battalions of cavalry, but he was not very sure whether they could destroy them.
After all, these tanks can target infantry and large targets that cannot outrun them.
When the chariot troops were arranged in a row, the three thousand battalions of cavalry were scattered everywhere, which gave Wells another headache.
"If I attack as a whole army, they will definitely disperse, and my chariots will not be able to catch up with them... If I disperse and pursue them, my chariot troops will be attacked from both sides because they are not as flexible as them..."
Wells frowned tightly, and the order to attack was not issued for a long time. At this time, he had not yet made up his mind.
At this moment, in the south of the battlefield, a large amount of smoke and dust rose up, and it was still drifting towards the imperial army at an extremely fast speed.
