Chapter 117: Going Out to Meet the Enemy (Part 2)
Field's Third Army on the left wing of the coalition was composed entirely of small phalanxes of noble private troops. If we look at the war in China, this kind of large group of small phalanxes fighting on their own is simply a taboo in war.
Once a noble retreats, it is likely to bring about a collective rout.
"Governor's order! All-out attack! Annihilate all enemy forces!"
As the commander of the left wing, Lei Ying shuttled back and forth between the military formations, constantly encouraging or issuing orders. His roar was filled with fighting spirit, making Field's ears ring.
"attack!"
"attack!"
Countless soldiers shouted in unison and stepped forward. On the left wing, more than 10,000 noble private troops moved forward slowly. At the same time, magicians from various families began to chant, and various buffing magics fell on the coalition forces as if they were free.
Unfortunately, there is no magician in the Night Territory and there is no gain. Field shook his head helplessly.
"Second-level magic, Qingyu!"
Field felt light all over, and the armor on his body seemed to be nothing. He turned around and saw a familiar figure, it was the knight Laurent he met before. His family magician generously added a boost to Field.
"Hey! Baron Field." He raised his thumb at Field, then raised his rifle and shouted with excitement, "Give those damn rebels some color."
To the nobles, the rebels were nothing more than a hungry ragtag group of walking exploits.
"Of course." Field smiled back, and then put on his helmet. He was wearing two layers of iron armor, and the violent beating of his heart could still be heard clearly.
Three armies, with flags waving, pressed forward. Attack directly without any probing.
A phalanx of elite iron cavalry lined up in front. The chosen one from the empire, Liflasa, shouted: "Imperial heavy cavalry, charge with me! Third-level magical skill, comet impact!"
Her whole body turned into a sky-blue flame and rushed towards the cultist formation. All those who stood in her way were crushed into powder. Even if they are not directly attacked, the bodies of those around them will burn almost immediately if they are exposed to the flames. There will be miserable howls and explosions of being burned to ashes everywhere.
Liflasa was like a high-speed train that directly hit a flesh-and-blood railway track.
With Riflasa opening the way, the heavy cavalry used the bloody path to attack in a wedge formation.
"You are really confident to use your precious heavy cavalry to charge the first wave." Field was shocked. This governor is a real tiger in fighting. "Don't you need arrows to consume it... At least let the magician fire a few rounds."
In the same way, you can let the God's Chosen rush in without fear of being caught by the enemy's God's Chosen.
I saw the imperial griffon flag flying high, and the heavy cavalry had arrived within a hundred meters and began to urge the horses to sprint with all their strength. The rebels' slings and arrows rattled the armor and could not penetrate it at all.
"Watch out for the scorpion crossbow!"
I don't know who shouted, but I saw the rebels rolling out small crossbows one after another, one person tall, much smaller than the city defense crossbow, but it could easily break armor. The field weapon known as the "Scorpion Crossbow" was suddenly activated, and dozens of giant arrows penetrated the heavy cavalry square, immediately nailing twenty or thirty heavy cavalry.
The more brutal ones even included people and horses being nailed together.
Such a loss could bankrupt most of the barons in an instant, but it would be nothing more than drizzle to the entire coalition.
The charge of the heavy cavalry arrived in an instant. Even though the rebels set up countless halberds and spears, the heavy cavalry still charged forward without fear.
"Bang!"
It was like one wall crashed into another wall. The front line was instantly shrouded in a bloody mist. The sky was filled with pieces of meat smashed by war horses. A large number of rebels were pushed and fell, and then trampled into the soil by horse hooves. The heavy cavalry of the coalition also suffered considerable losses, and many heavy cavalry were strung together into candied haws.
It was too late for Field to look at the situation ahead, because his left wing was about to meet the enemy.
"Swish swish~"
A dense fire bomb passed over the head and landed in a square formation not far from Field. I don't know which small family's private army was in bad luck. Under the saturation of fire bombs, the general formation was instantly blown into pieces. There were piles of debris, leaving the nobleman standing there stunned, looking at the blood splattered on his body at a loss.
In extraordinary wars, ordinary people completely consume magic power and fighting spirit. If they consume divine power, they will gain blood.
Although ordinary people have a chance to kill the Chosen One by relying on large numbers of people, this is definitely not something that can be done in a field battle or by cannon fodder soldiers.
"Nima, it's more cruel than I imagined."
Through the crowd of heads, Field saw the rebels bringing in archers, and immediately shouted: "Raise your shield!"
Ye Mu, who was highly focused, led the first army. He immediately raised his shield high and slowly moved forward. The sound of arrows entering the shield immediately kept ringing. The arrows passed through the gaps in the shield and shot down several soldiers. .
Fortunately, most of the rebels' bows were hunting bows. They were fine for hunting rabbits, but their lethality when attacking soldiers wearing leather armor was extremely low. Only three or four people were shot, and all were slightly injured.
"We're still cumming!"
Seeing that the opponent fired a round, Field was not one who wanted to suffer a loss. He immediately took advantage of the gap and ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows. The support materials obtained earlier came in handy now.
After a burst of sound amplification, the rebels immediately felled dozens of people. Before there was time to fire the second round, the coalition forces at the front collided face-to-face with the rebels, and the two armies immediately fell into a chaotic and brutal hand-to-hand combat. Swords, guns, swords and halberds were wildly harvesting human lives, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
Even if a knight or warrior with fighting spirit was trapped in the crowd, there was no room to dodge at all. There were people all around, front and back, left and right, and even under his feet. Any fighting skills or fighting techniques were shit. If you were unlucky, you couldn't even raise your hands. At this moment, only strength and armor were the most reliable.
Field saw with his own eyes that a strong warrior, with a burst of second-level fighting spirit, swept through several rebels, and then his fighting spirit was exhausted, and he was stabbed by random guns, and finally his head was smashed by farm tools.
There was no formation at all between the two sides. It was a complete collision of flesh and blood. In just ten minutes, the heads were kicked and rolled around, and the blood almost gathered into a pool of blood.
"Let's stabilize the formation!"
He came here to fish, but he didn't really intend to bury the whole army here.
Field had gotten off the horse a long time ago, and there was no room to sprint at this moment. It was better to stay in his own army. He asked the First Army to maintain the defensive gun formation and stop advancing.
As the saying goes, if you don't run to the front line, the front line will run to you.
Soon, Field was surprised to find that he was actually facing the rebels!
The other troops in front of him were either defeated or dead.
The howling rebels rushed up with tattered weapons, their morale was terrifyingly high. They were controlled and had no right to escape, just like the rotten corpses in the Night Lord.
