Although this result had been expected, the generals in the Candela Empire and Malo Empire still looked extremely ugly when they saw that the heavy cavalry regiment was just attacked by a burst of magic artillery from the Lu-Xin coalition and fell into chaos.
These heavy cavalry are even covered with heavy armor while sitting on their horses. However, only the two empires in the entire Sainz continent have enough strength to form the highest force to form an organization and legion. In previous wars, as long as these were dispatched Heavy cavalry, on such an endless plain, no enemy can stop them at all.
In fact, there is no enemy that can slow down their charge a little, and they will only be directly crushed by their crazy charge.
But now, any magical cannonball falling down will immediately blast a huge gap in the heavy cavalry formation. Just one attack will turn the originally dense and orderly heavy cavalry charge formation into pieces. Eight falls.
The heavy cavalry, including men and horses, plus the heavy armor on their bodies, totaling more than two tons, in the past battles, could face the enemy's endless crossbows and move forward indomitably, and could face the enemy's spear array and still move forward, but Faced with the unparalleled explosive power of the magic cannonball, he could no longer move forward in an indomitable way.
As the magic cannonballs exploded one by one, countless heavy cavalry were blown into the air like scarecrows, as if their terrifying weight of more than two tons did not exist at all.
There were even many heavy cavalry that had been shattered into fragments of limbs when they flew up, and had already lost their breath.
They started charging with all their strength three kilometers away from the Lu-Xin coalition. When they advanced with great difficulty to about two kilometers away from the Lu-Xin coalition, the two empires who had previously formed formations and charged from all directions, fully 20,000 heavily armored knights, could still remain on their horses. Only less than 30% of those who continued to charge were left.
Scattered on the huge Tara Plain, they look even more sparse.
Seeing this situation, Marshal Sudirman let out a long sigh.
"It seems that it is time for us traditional soldiers to withdraw from the battlefield."
The other generals of the Candela Empire all around looked sad.
Although it has been shown in countless previous battles, the military magic machinery invented by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has completely changed the war model on this continent. However, it is difficult for these veterans who have been fighting for many years to change their inherent concepts formed over the years and accept new things like military magic machines to dominate the battlefield. Therefore, they have always had some inner resistance to military magic machines.
However, countless battles kept destroying their inner perseverance. Today's battle on the plains. In the situation where the power of the heavy cavalry was originally easiest to display and actual combat, they could still only achieve such miserable results, which made the last bit of persistence in their hearts collapse.
"Marshal, let the two new legions come out. As for us old guys... just try our best to cooperate with them." Chief of Staff Borogor put down the telescope to observe the battle situation in the distance. His face was very solemn. "This is our last chance and I don't think we need to have any more scruples."
"It should be so." Marshal Sudirman nodded slightly and issued the order. "Send a signal to the Maro Empire and tell them what we think."
Watching the herald leave in a hurry, a general said worriedly: "Marshal, we have shown our trump card so early, just in case the Maro Empire has reservations..."
"I can't control that much." Marshal Sudirman waved his hand. "This is the final battle for our Kandra Empire. We have no choice. If the Malo Empire is smart enough, it will know what to do."
"I don't think there's anything to worry about. Since the Maro Empire is willing to send reinforcements, it proves that they are well aware of the current situation. So I don't think they have any reservations."
Borogor's words were unanimously approved by a group of generals.
As a result, the order was quickly passed on, and the army of the Candela Empire further approached the encircled Lu-Xin coalition forces.
"Count Darcy, since the Luersun Kingdom formed a coalition with us, you have been taking the initiative to attack. This is the first time you have to defend, right?" Captain Hart, who was in the Luxun coalition formation, suddenly spoke.
Count Darcy was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and quickly went through the battles in the past few months in his mind. He was surprised to find that Captain Hart was right.
Since forming a coalition to invade the Candela Empire, the Lu-Xin coalition has been aggressively attacking and winning every battle.
And the offensive of the Lu-Xin coalition forces on the opposite side. It is difficult for the Candela Empire to even mount a decent resistance, and it is naturally impossible to force the Lu-Xin coalition into a defensive position.
In the past few months of fighting, this was the first time that the Lu-Xin coalition defended the Kandela Empire's attack.
Thinking of this, Count Darcy had a strange expression on his face.
He hadn't thought about it before. Now that he thought about it, he felt that this was a bit too incredible.
Their enemy is the Candela Empire, one of the two most powerful empires on this continent!
And they are just a small Luersun Kingdom, plus a chamber of commerce. It is really unbelievable that they can push the Candela Empire to this point.
But then I thought again. The facts before him were right here, and he couldn't help but not believe it.
But... what does Captain Hart mean when he suddenly says this
Seeing the confusion in Count Darcy's eyes, Captain Hart laughed, slapped Count Darcy on the shoulder, and said cheerfully: "I'm afraid you don't know that the military magic machinery of our Chamber of Commerce is powerful when used for offense, but it is To defend, we will only become stronger.”
Count Darcy smiled reluctantly, thinking that although I believe that military magic machines are indeed more powerful for defense, the enemies we face now are 450,000, and they are still an elite army composed of two empires. It's never that easy to successfully defend against an opponent's attack.
Captain Hart ignored the strange look in Count Darcy's eyes, grabbed the magic talk box, and shouted loudly: "Attention, magic artillery brigade, give me full firepower! Any enemy cavalry can rush within one kilometer of us. , I will write a report and deduct one month’s salary and all bonuses from each of you when I get back!”
Count Darcy's mouth twitched sharply.
God be damned, he had seen many soldiers beheaded for disobeying military orders on the battlefield to urge his soldiers to fight bravely, but this was the only time in his life that he had seen Captain Hart threaten with salary deductions and bonuses.
However, considering that the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards claimed that the lowest monthly salary was twenty gold coins a month, and various bonuses might exceed thirty gold coins, Count Darcy felt that this threat was indeed very terrifying.
If it were the soldiers of the Luersun Kingdom, if you were willing to give them thirty gold coins, most of them would not hesitate to ask them to die immediately.
After all, although the lives of the people of the Luersun Kingdom have improved significantly in recent years, thirty gold coins are still extremely important to many families, enough to buy a life and still have some leftover.
Perhaps really affected by Captain Hart's threat, the magic artillery brigade of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team in the Lu-Xin coalition suddenly erupted with countless dense fires, as if countless fireworks suddenly exploded.
Countless magic cannonballs fell in all directions like a heavy rain, and in an instant, the Serra Plain around the Lu-Xin coalition was submerged in flames and explosions.
The first batch of heavy cavalry regiments sent out by the two empires to launch a charge were only less than 30% left in the first wave of counterattacks by the Lu-Xin coalition. After this overwhelming bombardment, they were all wiped out.
Originally behind the heavy cavalry, the two empires sent a larger number of light cavalry, intending to find gaps and quickly rush into the Lu-Xin coalition while the heavy armored cavalry attracted the firepower of the Lu-Xin coalition.
However, under the extremely intensive artillery attack by the Lu-Xin coalition forces, they had no chance of finding a gap.
At first, they could barely avoid artillery attacks by relying on the high mobility of the light cavalry, and the casualty rate was much lower than that of the heavy cavalry.
But now the Lu-Xin coalition forces suddenly went crazy and launched such a terrifying artillery attack, which actually covered all directions around the Lu-Xin coalition forces, making it impossible for them to escape.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom—”
Continuous explosions resounded throughout the Serra Plains, and as far as the eye could see, there were flames bursting out everywhere, and people were jumping on their backs everywhere.
In less than two minutes, most of the nearly 40,000 light cavalry regiments had been killed or injured, and no regiment could maintain a complete formation.
In the Kandra Empire army formation, several generals looked at the miserable situation on the battlefield with pale faces and were speechless for a long time.
They could expect that this battle would be very brutal, but they never expected that this battle would be so brutal.
So far, this battle has only started for less than twenty minutes. The heavy armored cavalry regiments of the two empires, which were originally known as the highest combat capabilities, have been completely wiped out. The light cavalry regiments with the highest mobility, which they had high hopes for, have been completely wiped out. Most of them were killed or injured in an instant, and they almost lost their fighting ability.
Corresponding to them, the Lu-Xin coalition forces did not suffer even the slightest damage.
Even... so many heavy cavalry and light cavalry couldn't even break into the Lu-Xin coalition formation.
"Marshal, how about... let those light cavalry withdraw..." A general could not help but suggest in a low voice.
"No. Give me the order and let them continue to rush forward. Anyone who dares to escape will be beheaded on the spot!" Marshal Sudirman said with a gloomy face, without any hesitation in his tone. "You remember, if you want to win this battle, you have to be ruthless! The sacrifices of these knights are not in vain, because they have consumed a lot of the enemy's ammunition for us."
The generals looked at each other with sad expressions.
They have always been proud of the heavy cavalry and light cavalry, which are known as the most powerful combatants, but their role is only to consume the enemy's ammunition. (~^~)
