Chapter 318, Reversal of the Battle
The artillery roared, and thunderous gunshots rang out on the battlefield.
The black flood rushed into the Britannia army formation, and the powerful barbarian warriors and chaos warriors were resisted by the halberd army and sergeants just trained by Ryan.
After only two minutes of fighting, the Chinese army immediately began to fall into a disadvantage. The barbarians who believed in chaos were too brave. The national policy of Brittania itself was to spend all its power to raise knights. Although Ryan tried to form a powerful army As for the infantry team, he didn't have much time left. The long halberd battalion was forced to go to the battlefield not long after it was formed.
Fortunately, the Chinese Army is not the only one fighting alone.
"Knights! Forward! For the ladies! For Brittania!" Duke Hubald finally defeated the barbarian cavalry under the cover of the dwarf musketeers. Free up your hands and turn the target into the barbarian army in the middle army.
"go ahead!!!"
Hubald, who was in the Holy Grail Expedition, took the lead. He rode a beloved pure-blood elf war horse, and the broad-bladed giant sword in both hands was burning with flames from the lake god. He seemed to be a great hero from thousands of years ago. The cavalry rushed into the barbarian army from the side, and several barbarian warriors with spears and halberds tried to intercept them. Hubald's expression was extremely cold.
"For the lady!" Expeditionary Knight's voice broke out with a roar that shattered eardrums. The armor on his body seemed to respond to the master's powerful call. Dazzling glare shrouded the entire battlefield. Sting dizzy.
Then Hubald rushed into the barbarian army, and with a wave of his two-handed giant sword, he instantly beheaded three barbarian warriors.
The army was cleaned up, the guns pointed forward, through the gap opened by Hubald, a total of five thousand heavy cavalry were cleaned up, the guns pointed forward, and rushed into the barbarian army formation.
The knights' attack was like a huge battering ram, smashing into the barbarian army. It was too late when the Chaos soldiers reacted, and the knights released their anger, sharp lances The armor of these barbarians was pierced, and the hooves of the war horse kicked their skulls.
Five thousand heavy cavalry charged four thousand barbarian troops, the effect can be imagined, the knights began their own massacre.
Just like the wind and clouds, the knights led by Hubald devoured these disgusting barbarians. Wherever they passed, the barbarian warriors were all crushed by the knights. The knights heroically rushed through the entire barbarian army. But the bloody harvest defeated the forward army of the barbarians. Hubald first led a dozen expeditionary knights to fight through. He was not satisfied with the killing and continued to order: "Kill back! Knights! Let the barbarian bastards All die here!"
"Oh!" Hundreds of knights erupted in astonishing cheers, and then mounted their horses, turned around, and charged again towards the chaotic and demoralized barbarian troops in front.
At this time, the follow-up troops led by Egil were still trapped behind the ice wall. Chakoy, the chaotic wizard, was attacked by Veronica and could not release his magic to destroy the ice wall. Gouging the ice wall finally opened a passage.
And when Egil led the scarlet guards and a large group of barbarian warriors to rush out, the dwarf cannons and organ guns fired a round of volleys at them, and a large group of serf crossbowmen and dwarf musketeers fired wildly at the follow-up troops of the barbarians. The follow-up troops of the barbarians were beaten to the ground, unable to quickly support the forward troops of the barbarians who were brutally slaughtered by the knights.
"Oops!" Egil was hit by the dwarf's artillery, and the chosen champion of Khorne was unscathed. He raised the Hell Tomahawk and chopped off the oncoming shells, causing the explosion flames to completely engulf him. Of course, these shells couldn't hurt him, but his army couldn't. When Egil raised his head to observe the battlefield, the tragedy in front of him made him feel extremely angry.
The barbarian forward army of more than 4,000 people is now only more than 1,000 people are retreating, and the knights are repeatedly charging and slaughtering them,
The barbarians are losing their courage, they are fleeing everywhere, the fields are full of barbarian corpses, and the barbarian army led by Haldorn on the right is also retreating steadily. The Litanian heavy cavalry, including the Poseidon knights armed with scimitars and tridents, were extremely brave under the leadership of Sir Hulf, and the barbarian army lacked enough cavalry.
"My king! Haldorn needs reinforcements! Otherwise we won't be able to hold on!" A barbarian scout came up and said to Egil.
"There are no more reinforcements! Tell him to hold back those knights and fight to the last man!" Egil looked behind him, and there were less than 7,000 barbarian troops behind him.
The Chosen Champion of Khorne realizes he cannot divide his forces.
Before, whether it was the battle of Nanz or the siege of Lyonnaise, the barbarians had a numerical advantage, but as they went deep into the inland and fought continuously, coupled with Egil's style of play that didn't care about sacrifice, when Ryan When the knight army he led fought against Egil, the barbarians not only lost their numerical advantage, but also lost their artillery.
Now in this war, the barbarians who were exhausted from fighting for a long time had begun to fall into a disadvantage. The barbarian army that fought after a night of carnival was gradually exhausted. Facing the onslaught of knights, the barbarian army had already begun to waver.
The last Chaos Mammoth had just fallen when it was hit in the face by a dwarven cannon, killing it instantly.
"Bretanians! Despicable, shameless! Like a bunch of disgusting moths! They reject the glorious close combat, only know how to use artillery and muskets, hide behind a solid army and shoot! If so, let us Break their formation and let the champion of the false gods in the lake come out to fight!" Egil signaled for the rest of the barbarian army to follow him.
"Glory to Khorne!"
"blood!!"
In the middle army of the knight army, Armand noticed Egil's appearance: "Count, Egil and his scarlet guard have appeared."
"The battle situation is starting to turn in our favour." Ryan said in a low voice, he had already discovered the appearance of Egil and his scarlet guard: "Egil is very powerful, order the soldiers to continue to retreat!"
"yes!"
With the help of the knights, the Chinese army had repelled the barbarian forward army. After receiving the order, all the infantry began to retreat slowly, luring Egil and the remaining barbarian army to continue attacking.
Khorne's God's Chosen Champion knew that this was Ryan's trap, but he had no choice. The barbarian army's cavalry and Chaos Mammoth War Elephant had been completely lost. The Chaos Hell Cannon had been destroyed in the previous siege, and hundreds of Chaos Dwarves had already All killed by the Scalins.
"Attack the central army directly!" Egil once again made the same plan as before, that is to directly attack the central army and attack the enemy's headquarters.
Against the volley of dwarven cannon fire, the Scarlet Guard blew the horns of Scalins.
The desolate and tragic horn sounded on the plain in the early morning. At this time, nearly two hours had passed since the start of the war, and the barbarians had already fallen into a serious disadvantage on the battlefield. However, when the horn of King Scalins , the morale of almost all the barbarian soldiers was greatly boosted. They united again and concentrated on the black octagonal banner of chaos, the eight-pillar emblem banner of Blood God Khorne and the flag of the Scalins sailing ship, and launched a counterattack against the knight army. charge.
"Steady!" Ryan personally led the most elite fighters in the Chinese army to resist the impact of the barbarians. The earl rode on the horse, and the warhammer swept across, directly knocking the three Chaos warriors into the air. The barbarians immediately realized that Ryan belonged to the opponent. Commander - His gorgeous psychic power armor, no helmet and the Holy Grail Knight Commander badge on his chest have deeply betrayed his identity.
"Forward! Soldiers of Brittania!" Ryan headshot a Chaos Warrior with a hammer, and then raised his own warhammer: "Let us unite, let us use our lances and swords, let us Defeat these filthy enemies, defend the lady's land, defend the kingdom! For the lady!"
"For the lady!" Under the call of Earl Lane, the commander of the Holy Grail Knight and the champion of the Fairy of the Lake, even the serf infantry howled hoarsely.
It is true that the serf infantry is lowly, has received little military training, and has a poor level of combat effectiveness, but even the most cowardly and weakest serf infantry will burst out with amazing strength and courage under despair.
More importantly, Earl Lane promised that if he could make amazing contributions in the war, even serfs could be knighted.
Sir is an honorary title, which can be obtained by both nobles and commoners, but in fact, very few serfs can obtain the title of knight. Earl Lane is the Holy Grail Knight. His words are not false. How can this not make serfs and sergeants crazy? ?
"Kill!" The halberd army that had just been trained fought with a large group of sergeants and the barbarian army, and the scene was chaotic.
As soon as Egil rushed into the army formation, he killed several infantrymen with two axes. The God-Chosen Champion of Khorne was about to go to the place where Ryan was, and had a real champion duel with him. The constant sounding of horns forced Egil to give up his plan.
The thunderous sound of horseshoes came from all directions, and the hearing of the king of Scalins was drowned out by the sound of horns and horseshoes from everywhere. Egil was sitting on the chaotic steel bull, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.
On the left wing, Hubald's army of knights has been reassembled. The expeditionary knights continue to charge towards the barbarian army. The anger of the knights swept across the field, and the only way to stop it is to wipe out all the barbarians. .
On the right flank, the barbarians of Chaos Champion Haldorn were retreating, and they were obviously unable to hold back the five thousand heavy cavalry led by Sir Howlf.
And just behind the barbarian army, a new army of knights is joining the battlefield.
This army was led by Callard, the Earl of Gallante. More than 4,000 cavalrymen came from behind the barbarian army. The golden fleur-de-lis army chess piece and the lion white shield symbolizing the Lioness race rolled in the air. The new Great Wall of Steel is moving towards the barbarian army in all directions. The lances raised horizontally form a dense forest of guns. The sharp spears carry the anger of the knights and roll towards the barbarian army in the middle.
The leader, Earl Callard, looked crazy. He almost desperately rushed into the rear of the barbarians, killing at least two barbarian warriors with each sword. He didn't care about his own safety at all, and the knights he led were also in this way.
"Chaos scum! Die!"
"It's Karard! It seems that Lyonnaise has not fallen yet!" Ryan rode grapes and charged among the barbarian army. When he saw Karard leading more than 4,000 heavy cavalry to help, he shouted excitedly: "This battle, we Won."
Now it is the turn of the Scalins to feel the hurricane-like group charge of the Britannian knights. The army of knights crashed into the Scalins army from three directions. In the blink of an eye, thousands of barbarians The Warriors and Chaos Warriors fell dead on the spot, and the rest fell into an absolute disadvantage.
Now the entire battlefield has become a huge slaughterhouse. The barbarian army desperately resisted the encirclement and suppression of knights from three directions, and the knights and knight retinues who rushed into the barbarian army also found themselves in a quagmire. Chaos warriors and chaos gods The chosen warriors waved their axes and halberds, looking for the enemy. Their superhuman strength was enough to immediately kill the knights who had lost their impact. The knights also threw away the broken lances, drew out their swords, and fought with the barbarians Men engaged in terrible hand-to-hand combat.
The only consensus between the two sides is that no prisoners will be kept.
The madness of the fierce battle continued. The barbarian army was besieged on three sides, but under the leadership of Egil, it did not collapse, but was still struggling. After losing their powerful impact, the knights had to fall into close combat. The barbarians didn't give the knights a chance to withdraw and regroup. One second a knight was pulled off his horse and was brutally slaughtered, and the next second a Chaos Warrior was beheaded and left dead on the spot.
The fierce melee continued, and tactics were no longer needed at this time, and both sides committed all their troops at the same time. The knights with tattered armor vowed not to retreat until they killed all the barbarians, but Egil realized a terrible fact.
The number of his army is rapidly decreasing. The nearly 20,000 barbarian army at the beginning of the war is now less than 5,000. During the siege of the knights, the barbarian army lost extremely fast.
"What are the chieftains of those small tribes doing! Why didn't they join the battle?" Egil yelled angrily at his own guards, who were still protecting him and his newborn son, while the god of Khorne When the champion turned his head, he found an unbelievable scene.
The chiefs of more than a dozen small tribes were fleeing, and they withdrew from the battlefield with about 2,000 barbarian routs, and fled northward without looking back.
"Ahhhh!" Egil roared with extreme anger, and he killed more than 20 knights and a dozen serf infantry in a row with a whirlwind: "I swear, when I return to Scalins, I will kill them all!"
"Uh uh uh!" A shrill scream attracted Egil's attention.
The flagpole of the Holy Grail Knight Armand pierced the Chaos Champion Haldorn's chest, and then the golden Gryphon hammer fell, smashing Haldorn's head to pieces.
A young figure entered Egil's eyes. He had black hair, blue eyes, a long sword behind his back, and a very indifferent expression on his face.
He is the chosen champion of the false gods in the lake! Egil fixed his eyes on Ryan's figure, and he found his prey.
At the same time, as if driven by some will in the dark, Ryan's eyes naturally found Egil's figure.
Now, the bloody battlefield has disappeared from the sight of the two God's Chosen champions. Ryan killed a Chaos God's Chosen warrior with a hammer, and rode towards Egil: "You should pay for your atrocities, Chaos!" dross!"
"Your head is just right for adorning my armor and the throne of Khorne. I will place your head a little bit higher than Ureth." Egil no longer cared about winning or losing the war. All he had in his eyes was Dropped Lane's head.
This is what Khorne wants, and as Khorne's chosen champion, he naturally wants to satisfy Khorne's wish.
The duel between the God's Chosen champions is destined.
