Chapter 453: Void Soldier
"How could this be?" Oulu thought he was dazzled. He was riding a tall and majestic war horse. From here, the number of the opponent's army outside Sunset City was completely beyond his estimate.
Raffles put down the binoculars, shook his head and said: "It's impossible, their army can't have so many. Perhaps, they brought civilians and slaves to make up the number?"
"A joke!" Oru denied without thinking: "Have you ever seen the morale and killing intent of civilians and slaves?"
"That's right." Raffles muttered, gently letting go of the inspiration who had already come into contact with the truth: "Then how did they get so many soldiers?"
"Who knows? Mercenaries? Or reinforcements from the Earldom..." Oulu had just said casually, but the last sentence made him and Raffles tremble at the same time.
Raffles opened his mouth wide and said, "It can't really be Earl Aubain's army, right? Aren't they at loggerheads with Lord Daniel's army in the Emerald Mountains?"
"It's hard to say. You know, it took us five or six days longer than expected. In nearly a week, it's not surprising that anything will happen." Oulu's face darkened: "This is really incredible Easy to say."
As if to confirm their thoughts, the two jazz were racking their brains to think about the origin of Allen's soldiers, when suddenly there was thunderous killing on both sides of the battlefield. Raffles trembled, raised his binoculars and scanned. The dust and smoke in the camera was like a curtain, and cavalrymen were vaguely seen coming towards the battlefield through the billowing smoke. On one or two of the flags, it is the pattern of Ark Harbor!
Also seeing this scene were the commanders and soldiers of the army. Two billows of dust rolled like dragons, spreading towards the battlefield from both sides. Looking at the formation, there is a hidden tendency to encircle the coalition forces. Seeing this situation, not only were the soldiers uneasy, but even the two experienced commanders were a little flustered. They began to look behind their masters, obviously out of proportion.
Allen saw the commotion of the enemy army. He knew that the time had come, and raised his voice: "Have you seen it? Our reinforcements have arrived. Earl Aubain's army will outflank the opponent's left and right wings and cut off the opponent's attack." The back lane. And we will attack from the middle lane and smash them head-on. The honor and money are in front of you, just waiting for you to grab them. Then tell me, what are you waiting for!"
"attack!"
"attack!"
Alan's voice echoed on the battlefield, not only the troops on his side heard his every word clearly, even the two Sirs Olu and Raffles could hear him clearly. The complexion of the two couldn't be worse, and Allen indirectly confirmed their guess that Oban's army really participated in the war. And he planned to outflank them, naturally he wanted to eat them all.
This appetite is not small,
In the past, the two would probably just listen to it as a joke. But now, they couldn't laugh at all.
"Bastard! Back off, don't leave us behind!"
"To meet the enemy, first defeat the incoming army."
Oulu and Raffles called out almost at the same time, but the orders of the two were completely different. After shouting, the two couldn't help but startled. Then Oulu shouted: "It's this time, should you consider our own safety? Do you want Lord Daniel to pay the ransom for us?"
Raffles also shouted: "Instead of withdrawing the army to meet the cavalry on the two wings, wouldn't it be better to break through the middle, and then turn back and fight back?"
"Please keep your eyes open, Sir Raffles. The opponent's numbers are not inferior to ours, how do you want to break through the middle!"
Under this pressure, the two jazz finally disagreed. And they directly caused the commanders under their command to issue different orders, so Bauhinia's army obviously showed signs of retreating, while the army of Dawn Castle pressed forward. As a result, collisions and frictions inevitably occurred in the actions of the former soldiers of the army, causing considerable confusion.
Allen saw it in his eyes and shouted: "Inch fire, enemy missiles cover, three rounds of bombing!"
The Cunhuo fighters who charged with the main team immediately followed the order. The pattern of the flaming rifle in his hand lit up, and then one after another flaming missiles flew across the sky. Nearly thirty fireballs flew across the ground without interruption and crashed into the enemy's position. In the eyes of the soldiers of the noble coalition army, the fireballs came with a trail of flames, smashing into their positions one after another, and the continuous explosion formed a scorching air wave, knocking down the soldiers around the explosion, causing huge chaos.
The three waves of bombing finally merged into a sky-shattering sound wave, as if playing a movement of defeat for Jazz's coalition forces. Suddenly, the soldiers in front of the coalition army fell down, and the Inch Fire fighters poured out all their energy, in exchange for violent blows. A fire belt stretching tens of meters appeared on the battlefield, illuminating both sides of the battlefield.
Before the coalition soldiers recovered from the buzzing of the explosion, the soldiers from Sunset City had already crossed the fire belt and attacked. Willick, who rushed to the front, shouted: "Kill, everyone gets a gold coin!"
Immediately, the soldiers behind him roared to the sky, while the faces of the coalition soldiers were ashen. The rewards of the enemy army on the opposite side were actually ten times that of theirs. This huge gap was also a big blow, which caused the morale of the coalition forces to drop again. At this time, the two armies finally collided head-on, the front lines on the border were intertwined, and the fierce battle made the air suddenly hot.
As the fulcrum of the striker, Willick is very clear that his task is to open up the situation. The components of the Angry Beast's gauntlet slammed violently, followed by a heavy artillery punch on a horse. The terrifying impact caused the horse and the cavalry on it to fly upside down, knocking down a group of infantry. With a loud roar, Willick's momentum rose sharply, and he rushed forward, knocking down an enemy captain.
The heavy punch fell, smashing the captain's chest to a bloody mess. Under Willick's heavy punch, a gap was quickly opened in the defense line of Dawn Castle, and soldiers poured in from this gap to expand it, laying the groundwork for the complete collapse of the enemy's line.
The winged salons were already approaching, although the speed of the two cavalry was painfully slow in terms of the horse's footsteps. However, the billowing sand and dust created a real pressure. Judging from the extent of the dust and smoke, there were at least two hundred cavalry on each side. Even without infantry, the interspersed impact of these four hundred cavalry alone is enough to make the rear of the army a formidable enemy.
Oulu was in a conflicted mood. Every second, many weird thoughts and guesses flew through his mind. He is looking forward to the official intervention of the two-winged cavalry on the battlefield, so that he can provide him with accurate and clear data so that he can judge and decide the next action; but he also hopes that the two salons will never come, because he is afraid that they will be a bunch of enemies for himself. bring desperate data.
In such a complex mood, Oulu still decided to let the army retreat gradually so that it could deal with the killing from the two wings or the rear at any time. In this way, most of the pressure in front of the entire position was on the Dawn Castle, which made Raffles very angry. He had forgotten how many times he had yelled at Oru, but he couldn't change his mind.
As far as Oru was concerned, the order to attack Sunset City fell directly on Raffles. His participation was nothing more than an ending based on morality, coupled with some feelings of common hatred. If everything goes according to the previous plan, then Oulu will naturally be willing to do his best to help. But on the way here, he was attacked by Allen, not only lost hundreds of soldiers, but even the heavy armored corps was not organized.
At this time, no matter what, he decided to give priority to preserving his strength. Even if Raffles is defeated this time, Daniel will not accuse him of anything. But if he and Raffles were defeated here together, then his strength would suffer a huge blow. Even under the banner of Daniel, there is never a lot of competition and friction among the vassals. Oulu didn't want to give other lords a chance, which was why he wanted to withdraw his army despite Raffles' accusations and pressure.
But if Oulu knew that the two long-awaited cavalry teams were actually composed of less than twenty or thirty soldiers, Oulu would probably vomit blood in anger. Those soldiers were not even from the orthodox cavalry background, they just knew how to ride. A dozen half-baked cavalrymen on each side, they opened the distance, and then tied the horses and branches together with ropes. So when the horses galloped, the branches scraped across the ground, and the dust and smoke flew up, creating the illusion of a large number of cavalry galloping at the same time.
The battlefield near Sunset City does not have any dangerous places to rely on, but the open environment is not necessarily a bad thing. For example, the height of the dust and smoke raised is large enough for people on the battlefield to see clearly. And all these plans kept the other soldiers in the dark. They even thought that reinforcements were coming, otherwise their morale would not be so high.
Tormen was one of the few people who knew about the entire deployment. When he heard Alan lay out the whole plan last night, he didn't take it seriously. Now that the situation on the battlefield is unfolding according to Alan's plan, he really admires it from the bottom of his heart. However, Tomen didn't know that the reason for being able to create such an effect was the pressure Allen had put on the enemy in the past week.
Without those pressures, and without leaving a shadow in the hearts of the two Jazz Oulu, it would not be so easy to make all of this happen.
The front line of Dawn Castle had moved backwards, and their commander had to gather up the scattered soldiers, retreat to regroup, and continue to organize another line of defense. On the other hand, Bauhinia was fighting and retreating, their fronts were tens of meters away from their allies. There is no doubt that the Bauhinia army still retains its vitality. Allen simply ignored them, and only let the army keep suppressing them, but concentrated 70% of their forces to attack the side of Dawn Castle.
After a few orders, Allen glanced at the Mountain King warrior behind him and said, "It's time for us to end."
"The infantry in front stand up! Everyone come to me, don't be afraid!"
"The Musketeers back off."
"Damn it, what the hell are Redbuds doing? Why don't they support us!" the commander of Dawn Castle yelled, but at this moment, he had no time to pay attention to the actions of the allies. The battlefield was changing rapidly, so he could only concentrate all his energy and react as quickly as possible, desperately blocking the attack of Sunset City.
This was far from the siege battle he had envisioned. The commander didn't understand why he, who was the attacking side, was now acting passively defensive? Without the support of Bauhinia, the number of troops in Dawn Castle was immediately compared with that of Sunset City. In addition, the morale level of the two sides was different. He is also a qualified general.
But still can't get back the disadvantage of one's own side, can only do hard support. And as the battle unfolded, the commander began to notice some special fighters of the enemy, those fighters were not many in number and could act strangely. Shuttle among the positions of one's own army, constantly attacking and killing low-level officers in Dawn Castle. You must know that these officers are important fulcrums that support the entire position. Once these fulcrums are lost, the front is not far from collapse.
But you know, you know, but the commander can't spare more manpower to deal with those special fighters. When he issued another order, the commander suddenly felt cold. The adjutant next to him looked at him with doubts on his face, followed by an expression of disbelief. The commander noticed that his gaze deviated from himself and fell behind him.
Is there someone behind me?
He also reacted quickly, as soon as he drew out his horse sword, he slashed at the back with a single stroke. But the blade felt like cutting in the air, but a cold voice sounded beside him: "You did a good job, but that's it."
Then a large black mist rose flatly, enveloping the people and horses in it. The adjutant couldn't see what happened in the fog at all, he only heard the sound of weapons clashing and a short scream. Then the fog dissipated, and the horses had already run back, leaving the commander's body on the ground. His eyes were wide open, and a river of blood flowed from his neck.
Standing next to the commander's body was a man in black. He smiled at the adjutant and waved his hand. A cloud of black mist quickly surged and spread.
That was the last picture the adjutant saw.
I don't know who shouted: "The commander is dead!"
These words accelerated the defeat of the already disadvantaged Dawn Castle army. Willick took the opportunity and led the soldiers to carry out a powerful impact, immediately breaking up the opponent's line completely. Without the commander, the army has no leader, and immediately fell into a situation of losing ground. The soldiers didn't know whether to attack or defend, but at this moment, three black and red pillars of fire rose into the sky from the center of the position, blowing dozens of soldiers to death. Not far away, Allen, who released the blazing ground charge, pulled out the heavy knife and inserted it, pointing forward: "Shan Wang, throw the axe!"
After the succinct order, one after another the stainless steel handaxes spun and whizzed, skimmed tens of meters of space and threw them into the enemy's formation, immediately harvesting a group of soldiers. After throwing all the hand axes on his body, the Mountain King warrior who picked up the warhammer squeezed out a roar from his chest, and launched a charge with Allen.
At this point in the battle, the army of Dawn Castle was completely defeated, the front line was chaotic, and they were cut and besieged by Allen. Seeing this scene, Raffles clapped his head and shouted loudly, and with his feet pinched, he rode his horse and galloped towards the position.
Olu sighed, knowing Raffles didn't intend to go back. He could only order the army to retreat in an all-round way, and Bauhinia had to take this opportunity to leave. Otherwise, when the opponent eats Raffles, it will be his turn.
Before leaving, he glanced at the salon where the two wings were at the end, and Oulu couldn't help but smile wryly. At this time, he finally knew that it was just Allen's false ploy. r1058
