To deal with the elite troops of the coalition forces, Patience has a way - if the coalition forces dare to play elite tactics, she dares to accompany them to the end!
In Patience's army, if there is anything that is not lacking, it is the elite team.
She directly issued an order to Major General Shako. The wolf cavalry, night saber cavalry, cold-blooded drow cavalry, Minotaur and Medusa, these various elite troops formed a force of 3,000 people. troops. Among them, some spellcasters such as druids and mages were also deployed, with thirty griffin cavalry, five griffin cavalry, and thirty hippogryph cavalry.
Mobility, detection ability, magic support ability, long-range strike ability, attack ability... This one can be said to be lacking in everything.
Soon, under the double detection of spells and aerial reconnaissance, Shako found the trace of the enemy's elite vanguard.
No matter what, just pounce on it!
The first to attack were the Rangers and Medusas. Bows and arrows, petrified rays, and some attacks and field control spells of mages and druids directly covered the enemy's front line.
These soldiers from Pudri and Florence, no matter how elite they are, have they ever seen such a formation? They have never seen such a precise bow and arrow shooting, and have never been hit by such dense spells and spell-like abilities. Even, in their training, there is no training subject to deal with this situation.
As a result, their formation became disordered as it should have been.
But these soldiers are, after all, the most elite fighters of the two countries. The so-called disorder is also relatively speaking. In fact, for ordinary troops, such a degree of chaos is nothing at all.
However, in a duel between elites, this little bit of confusion can sometimes determine the victory of an entire battle.
It was the cold-blooded cavalry sitting on the velociraptors who launched a fatal impact on the elite vanguard of the coalition forces.
They waved their long halberds, and broke through the enemy's defense line in the first moment of the surprise attack. Those silver and white guards, the most elite soldiers in the Pudley Kingdom, were completely powerless to resist under the impact of the Velociraptor and the drow cavalry, and were directly torn a huge hole.
It is a very bad thing for the heavy infantry's defense to be cut. Behind the heavy infantry, the Duke Guard knights of the Duchy of Florence had not yet had time to charge. These elite heavy knights had to start a duel between cavalry with the swift dragon cavalry who carried the power to break through the heavy infantry defense line before they could increase their speed.
This kind of duel is too bad.
The most important weapon for a heavy knight is speed; the most powerful tactic is charge.
Arranging in tight formation, conducting wall charges, and cone charges are excellent tactics. The former, the formation of light infantry that can destroy everything, and the heavy cavalry who charge at high speed like a wall, will use lances and horses to destroy all enemies who dare to stand in front of them. As for the latter, the charge of the conical formation is a sharp weapon to directly penetrate and disperse the heavy infantry defense line. Even if it is dealing with the enemy's cavalry, it is most beneficial to charge.
However, this advantage is now in the hands of the cold-blooded cavalry.
Of course, the number of cold-blooded cavalry seems to be about half less than the knights of the Duke's Guard on the opposite side. But it doesn't matter, the heavy armored knights who didn't charge up lost at least 70% of their combat power. Now, they can only rely on their equipment and their relatively good martial arts skills to fight against the cold-blooded cavalry who bumped into them head-on.
However, they are well-equipped and skilled in martial arts. Could it be that these drows on the opposite side are not good enough
No! Not bad at all! Even, when it comes to combat skills, these cold-blooded cavalry, which belong to the fourth-level unit of the dungeon base, are much more powerful than the knights on the opposite side!
What's more, the biggest gap between the two sides lies in the mounts.
The Grand Duke of Florence is still very willing to invest in the elite army in his hands. He spent a lot of money on these knights. Apart from armor, equipment and weapons, the war horses under their crotch are all excellent breeds. Tall war horses are very suitable for heavy cavalry in terms of shoulder height and strength.
However, no matter how good the pedigree of the war horse is, there is still a huge gap when it encounters the ground dragon.
Although the ground dragons with the blood of giant dragons are not as big as real dragons, and they don't have a pair of wings that can fly, but their two powerful hind legs make them charge faster than war horses at all. Charge slowly. Moreover, the sharp claws on Dixinglong's forelimbs are sharper than the long swords made by Seiko. Not to mention, the pair of large mouths of a ground-moving dragon like a velociraptor can even bite off the head of a war horse covered in iron armor with one bite with its terrifying bite force after opening!
This overall gap, reflected on the battlefield, is a qualitative difference!
The heavy cavalry of the Duke's Guard did not last long under the charge of the cold-blooded cavalry, and soon dispersed. They didn't even last as long as the silver guard heavy infantry in front.
After the battlefield, Sacco, who saw this scene, burst into a big smile: The serious problem in this battle has been solved.
The most powerful coalition army is the Knights of the Duke's Guard. A few days ago and a few hours ago, several troops who were defeated by this vanguard army all mentioned one point in the news: the enemy's heavy cavalry charge was very powerful, and there was a broken-up ambush troop. There was a large group of white wolf guards, but under the wedge charge of these heavy cavalry, they were scattered in one round.
When Sako was ordered to destroy the enemy's vanguard, he was also worried about the enemy's heavy cavalry charge. Therefore, when the cold-blooded cavalry was sent out to attack the opposite silver and white guard heavy infantry regiment, they had already found the right position. After breaking through the heavy infantry defense line, they could directly threaten the opponent's Duke guard.
It appears that this tactic was successful.
The scattered heavy cavalry is no threat. Heavy cavalry charges are never carried out in skirmish lines. There is no way for heavy cavalry to charge without a formation to maximize their own impact, and there is no way to complete the role of breaking up the defense line.
It is very gratifying that the cold-blooded cavalry can do this. However, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to do more now.
After piercing through the line of defense of the silver and white guards and smashing down the opposite duke's guard who failed to speed up, the impact force of the cold-blooded cavalry was exhausted. It is already difficult for them to continue to break through the enemy's formation, penetrate the entire army, and then turn around and charge. At this moment, they have been trapped in the ground formation, and they can only rely on the superior combat power of the velociraptor in the melee, and the handle in their hands is not only good for charging, but also can display quite good combat power in stalemate battles. Long halberd, come and keep fighting.
But it doesn't matter, the cold-blooded cavalry can do this step, it is already very surprising.
For the rest, Saco still has other troops in his hands to complete.
Following the cold-blooded cavalry, the melee troop that entered the battlefield was the Minotaur brigade.
Three hundred minotaurs in full armor, carrying heavy armor and battle axes, roared and rushed into the enemy's formation. Their general height is more than one-third higher than that of the human soldiers on the opposite side, and the advantages in strength due to racial differences are brought into full play through heavy armor and heavy weapons.
The battle axes swung by the tauren cannot be blocked by the small bodies of the silver and white guards. With an ax down, if a human soldier was directly hit, he might even be cut in two by the sharp axe, even with heavy armor on!
However, compared with the size of the Minotaurs, the long swords held by the silver and white guards are not enough. Their long swords, for the Minotaur, may be longer daggers. If they are not positioned correctly, they will not be able to cut or pierce the armor of the Minotaur.
This is almost a one-sided massacre!
Originally, after being subjected to powerful long-range strikes and powerful spell bombardments, the formation of the silver and white guards was already slightly chaotic. After being pierced by the cold-blooded cavalry, a huge gap was created. This gap was rushed in by the Minotaur... The elite silver and white guards turned into a group of lambs who could only be slaughtered passively!
One by one, heavy infantry in bright silver armor were chopped down by giant axes. In a short time, more than two hundred silver guards died from giant axes, armor-piercing arrows, spells and spell-like abilities. And the loss of the Minotaur may not exceed thirty.
This ratio is already slightly exaggerated.
The coalition commander in the rear could no longer sit still. The previous two ace troops have already fallen into defeat. If he can't do anything to change the situation of the battle, this elite forward team will really be ruined in his hands!
He could even imagine that if he left this elite army here, Earl Sade would be beheaded on charges of dereliction of duty, defeat of the army, etc., without even going to court-martial.
Therefore, under the circumstances of no other choice, he could only put the last important force in his hands into the battlefield - the elite troops of the Pudley Kingdom, the Silver and White Knights!
Four hundred silver and white knights are stronger than the Knights of the Duke's Guard! These knights wearing white armor and riding white horses were also very lucky not to be involved in the chaos caused by the cold-blooded cavalry before, and they were able to maintain a relatively tight formation.
The heavily armored knights who were able to maintain a tight formation launched a charge!
This white wall, the pressure brought by the head-on impact is still very strong.
But Sade was not surprised but happy!
This is exactly what he has been waiting for!
The enemy has brought out the last reserve team, so there is no need for Sade to hide it!
With an order, the mage beside him fired a bright spell into the sky. A white ball exuding a strong light leaped into the sky, which was also the signal to launch the general attack as agreed earlier!
The elite rangers and Medusas turned their fire directly, throwing long-range strikes on the head of the Silver Knights.
Armor-piercing arrows roared towards them. The heavy cone-shaped armor-piercing arrows carried the power of magic. As long as they hit, they could pierce through the thick plate armor and cause enough damage. The heavy cavalryman who was shot through fell directly from his horse and fell to the ground, and was then trampled to a pulp by the horses of his comrades who rushed up.
At the same time, the Medusas gathered a wave of petrochemical rays and shot at the charging knights. At least forty or more silver and white knights rushing to the front were directly hit. Among them, those who could pass Medusa's petrification ray's fortitude immunity were only in their early teens, and the other thirty were all turned into stone statues on the spot, standing still in place abruptly, and then rushed up from behind The other heavy cavalry hit directly. As a result, the heavy cavalry who collided with the stone statue were directly smashed to pieces under the condition of high-speed charge, and some even fell to the ground with their horses and horses on the spot, losing their fighting ability.
As for the stone statues that were hit, they were all smashed to pieces on the spot without exception. And this also means the arrival of death.
The armor-piercing arrows fired by the rangers and the petrified rays of the Medusas caused great trouble to the charging Silver Knights to a large extent. The originally strict wall-like assault formation suddenly became loose. This is like a wall that has been punched with countless holes. It still looks so tall and mighty, but in reality, it is no longer so strong.
Then, the offensive in the sky was launched.
The Griffon Cavalry threw the Storm Hammer straight down! The war hammer with the power of lightning came whistling, and it was very safe to take the life of a knight directly; at the same time, along with the hammer of the storm, there were arrows from the hippogryph cavalry.
Of course, these aerial strikes are just appetizers.
After completing a round of long-range strikes, the air cavalry launched a dive!
The mighty five griffins rushed to the front, followed by thirty strong griffins.
The lion scorpion used its sharp claws, its own sharp barb, and its extremely fierce and poisonous tail, in one round of swooping, it took away nearly ten lives. The griffins who came after them were not to be outdone. The strong claws, after swooping, can directly throw down a charging knight.
And when the Sky Beast was diving, the other two teams were also present!
The whirling moonblade announced the arrival of the nightsaber cavalry. These cavalry wielding the whirling moon blade and riding the night saber entered the battlefield, and directly used their powerful lethality and impressive impact to completely break up the silver and white knights that had become riddled with holes. up!
Then, it was time for the wolf cavalry to perform!
