The death of the Clay boy seemed to wake up his compatriots. They fought desperately here, but everything they got belonged to their chief. After the Clay tribe moved westward, the life of the Clay tribe's herdsmen also changed. It must be extremely difficult, otherwise how could the Jinghu camp, which can only accommodate a population of 200,000, accommodate 450,000 soldiers and nearly 200,000 ordinary herdsmen
If the battle goes well, these herdsmen will fight bravely. After all, they have to live, and their families have to live too. Winning the battle can make their families live a better life. If they die in the battle, their families can get even more. A generous pension, which is just for cattle and sheep, is enough to enable their family to survive the next cold winter.
However, now the rear homes of these Clay tribesmen are being attacked by the enemy. Looking at the black smoke that can cover half of the sky, I am afraid that their families have been killed in the sea of fire. If their families are gone, then these Clay tribesmen warriors will no longer What is the purpose of continuing to fight? If it were not for Chief Abdul's harsh punishment, perhaps the entire Clay army would have collapsed by now. Even so, the Clay warriors still stopped charging towards the expeditionary camp. , looked around blankly, not knowing what to do.
Chief Abdul soon learned the accurate news of the attack on the Jinghu Camp. He pulled out the scimitar decorated with countless gems from his waist, and hacked to death the subordinates around him who persuaded him to return to the army immediately for rescue, and then viciously He pointed the blood-stained scimitar in front of him, which was also the direction of the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force camp.
"My order is to capture the enemy's barracks today. Anyone who shrinks will be killed. Anyone who moves slowly will be killed. Anyone who spreads rumors will be killed." Chief Abdul issued the military order without hesitation: "Kaili Mu, you lead the White Frost Legion to supervise the battle in person. If you still cannot break through the enemy camp after one hour, then the entire army will be killed."
After seeing the ferocious face of Chief Abdul, everyone present remained silent. Kailim shouted and pulled out his scimitar. He moved his wrist slightly, and the sharp blade had already cut his finger. , Kailimu smeared his bloody fingers on his face, and the blood immediately dyed his cheeks red. After doing this, Kailimu replied loudly: "As you command."
When Kailim's blood oath to carry out Chief Abdul's order was conveyed by the messenger, all the Clay warriors were shocked. Under the deterrence of Chief Abdul's cruel criminal law, these Kelim soldiers The warriors of the Lai tribe knew that they had no way to retreat, and their only choice was to move forward desperately.
The thick horn was blown again, and the order for the entire army to attack soon spread to the ears of all Clay warriors. Then, there was an eerie silence on the entire battlefield, and even the sound of a drop of sweat falling on the turf It was also clearly audible, "neigh~~~" The horse of a Clay warrior suddenly neighed, and then countless scimitars were raised high, and hundreds of thousands of war horses let out a long neigh. , the sound shook the earth, and even the clear sky became dark at this moment. The fiery sun seemed to be afraid of the murderous intent of hundreds of thousands of Clay warriors on the earth, and quietly hid among the clouds. ,
"Kill." A Clay tribe captain roared and rushed towards the expeditionary force's camp. Under the leadership of the Clay tribe captain, more Clay tribe soldiers followed closely behind, galloping on their horses, A Clay cavalry phalanx moved, and soon led more cavalry phalanxes forward. These Clay cavalry were able to maintain a neat formation at first, but they soon fell into disarray after galloping wildly. They naturally formed a loose formation, just like they usually herd cattle and sheep and shoot prey.
The ones under the greatest pressure at this time are the Jonas Legion soldiers who are responsible for guarding the front of the camp. After all, they only have 15,000 people, but facing more than 300,000 cavalry charging at full speed, even the bravest warriors will Feeling frightened,
Fortunately, after seeing the billowing black smoke rising from the rear of the Clay tribe, Jonas knew that Ryan had succeeded, so he no longer deployed defenses everywhere, but quickly mobilized other armies and deployed all 30,000 soldiers. It was placed on the west side of the camp, which is the direction facing the Clay tribe's cavalry attack.
10,000 square infantrymen lined up in 4 rows closely together, and behind them were Colin and Thomas, a total of 20,000 shooters. Colin and Thomas, who usually laughed and cursed, had no relaxed expression at all. They tried their best Roaring with all his strength, he directed his subordinates to shoot the arrows in their hands as quickly as possible.
20,000 archers formed a team of 2,500 people, arranged in eight columns. Their archers covered a huge area from 1,000 meters to 300 meters. They did not have to worry about arrows, because behind them there were 10,000 logistics warriors working hard to carry them. Carrying large bundles of arrows, these war machines from the imperial capital were already operating at full capacity. The only thing they thought about and did was to shoot, shoot, and shoot again.
The dense rain of arrows whizzed away, reaping the lives of the rushing Clay warriors. However, there were too many Clay warriors charging madly. The 20,000 shooters firing at full speed were unable to form a section in front of them. In the death passage, there are still a large number of Clay warriors rushing into the area less than 300 meters away from the expeditionary camp. This means that the close combat is about to begin.
"Everyone raise their spears and prepare for collision." Jonas was already on the front line and personally commanding. He held a spear tightly and stood in the third row of the phalanx. Jonas's spear was specially made. The tip is vermilion, which is quite eye-catching. In a sense, it is also a flag for commanding the advance and retreat of the army on the battlefield.
"200 meters."
"150 meters."
"100 metres."
"80 meters."
Although he has experienced a series of battles such as the Thunder God Fortress and the Imperial Capital Defense Battle, and is considered rich in experience, when Jonas faced the endless charge of the Clay cavalry, his heart inevitably beat faster. , but Jonas’s commanding voice was quite steady. No one knew that the current Jonas Army Commander’s hands and feet were somewhat numb.
"Attention everyone, there are still 50 meters." Jonas held the weapon in his hand tightly and loudly reminded his men to concentrate. On the endless prairie, the only way for infantry to compete with cavalry is to form a tight square formation. , any other means are useless, so what Jonas has to do now is to maintain his own formation as much as possible to block the impact of the Clay cavalry,
There are 4 rows of square infantry. The first row is the sword and shield warriors holding their shields high. They hold the tower shield in their hands hard to avoid being knocked away by the enemy's galloping horses. The second to fourth rows are the spear warriors. They will The spear in his hand stretched out diagonally, forming a screen of guns.
Such a phalanx could block the orcs' onslaught in the Thor Fortress with just a wooden fence. What's more, the warriors who formed the phalanx were strictly selected and trained, and their combat effectiveness was much better than that of Jonas's army. The improvised troops were much stronger, so Jonas was confident of blocking the Clay tribe's charge.
The sharp spear blades shone with a dazzling cold light under the sunlight. Although the horses of the Clay warriors did not know what they were facing, based on animal instinct, they were still afraid and did not dare to force themselves. Colliding into the gun formation, many war horses would rather disobey their master's orders and stop. If they suddenly stop while running, they will either lose their balance and roll directly to the ground, or they will be caught up by their companions behind them and hacked to death. ,
More Clay herdsmen closed their eyes, stepped on the stirrups with both feet and stabbed the war horses' lower abdomens, causing the sharp pain to stimulate the war horses and wildly collided with the expeditionary force's gun array, weighing hundreds of kilograms on both men and horses. The weight of the sword and shield warrior came galloping forward again, and the impact was naturally extraordinary. The sword and shield warriors in the first row simply could not withstand such an impact. Their bodies fell backwards and hit their companions behind them. The neatly squared The formation also dented a large area in an instant.
Fortunately, these Jonas Legion soldiers are the best among the imperial soldiers. Although they were knocked back, they quickly came back, and the spear array composed of three rows of spears also officially revealed its power. , all the Clay cavalry who collided with the phalanx were impaled, including their men and horses.
More Clay cavalry rushed up again. All they could do was to hit the defense line of Jonas Legion, and then let the sharp spears take away their lives. Their bodies fell weakly on the ground. On the ground, their blood dyed the earth beneath them red,
"Hold on, hold on, push harder, push harder." Jonas felt that his throat was hoarse, but he still yelled with all his strength. This was not only giving orders, but also boosting the morale of his fierce hands. The earth kept shaking, and countless Clay cavalry came in overwhelmingly like waves. They clamored and shouted, and slammed into the phalanx of Jonas Army, making a roar of earth shattering, but when the waves After retreating, the reef-like Jonas infantry phalanx remained motionless.
The Clay cavalry, who were intimidated by the supervising team behind them, had no way out. Their only choice was to charge, die in battle, or rush away from the expeditionary force's camp. However, all the Jonas Legion had to do was to hold on. 30,000 soldiers actually blocked an enemy ten times their size without taking a step back.
Just when everyone's attention was focused on this small square formation, a loud shout broke the roar of the waves: "Honor is my life."
"Glory." The leader of the 5,000 holy knights following them shouted in unison. 5,000 war guns made of gold were raised high, and dense forests of steel suddenly appeared in the plains. Just before Qiao While Nas was holding on, Orlando had already rushed out from the side of the camp with the Royal Knights in full armor. They even had enough time to adjust their formation.
