The two huge legions were like two beasts that had been fighting for a long time. They were both a little tired. They were panting heavily and looking at each other with blood-red and fierce eyes. They gently licked their wounds while using vigilant eyes. Keep your eyes on the opponent and be ready to rise again and give the opponent a fatal blow at any time!
Tiger finally couldn't bear it anymore. He sent out the Roland people's special army: chariots!
Chariot convoys are the famous special forces of the Roland continent. The characteristics of this kind of army are: solid and powerful impact, especially the frontal impact in the open areas of the plains is very terrifying.
Each chariot is made of ironwood, a specialty of the Roland continent. It is extremely strong and ordinary fireballs cannot destroy them. The wheels on both sides have sharp blades inserted into the wings. When the carriage gallops, the wheels roll, and the blades on the wings are as terrifying as sharp whirlwinds!
Each carriage is equipped with three carefully selected warriors in fine clothing. These people's stature and strength are selected according to certain standards. They wear armor that is comparable to heavy armored infantry and have strong protective capabilities. One of them drove a carriage, and the other two, one armed with a spear and the other with a tomahawk. In addition, there is a huge shield wrapped in cowhide. When charging, it can withstand the attack of enemy archers. When the distance is close, the soldiers immediately put down the shield and pick up spears and battle axes to attack.
And each carriage is equipped with two fine war horses. This kind of war horses have been selected and strictly trained at all levels. It is much stronger than ordinary war horses in terms of strength, but its speed and endurance can be slightly weaker. The horses are also covered in light armor, which has a certain degree of protection.
It can be said that this kind of army has quite powerful lethality in a head-on confrontation in an open area on the plains. The sturdy carriage is like a fortress that quickly attacks the enemy, and can easily overwhelm the opponent's dense heavy armored infantry formation. The archers behind the infantry can do extremely limited damage to them.
Imagine that when human flesh and blood faces a frontal charge against such heavy and solid tanks, it is definitely a nightmare!
The advantages of this kind of tank are very obvious, but the weaknesses are also quite prominent - this is also an important reason why Tiger did not send this army before. Another reason is that the cost of this kind of chariot army is extremely expensive, even several times more than that of a knighthood of the same size!
That kind of chariot made of iron and wood is expensive to build, and the cost of maintenance and repair is even more staggering. The soldiers on the chariot are all carefully selected warriors. Extremely valuable, it may be easy to train an ordinary soldier, but it is very difficult to train this kind of soldier. You can only select them from the ranks of the army. The horses are also the most powerful war horses. Coupled with the cost of weapons and armor, it is a huge expense.
This chariot army is a special force unique to the kingdom in Roland Continent - that is, the Kingdom of Sauron - other small kingdoms in Roland Continent simply do not have the strength to support such an expensive army. It is impossible to select so many outstanding soldiers.
Even if the Kingdom of Sauron occupies half of the national power of Roland Continent, it only has 3,000 chariots and 10,000 soldiers. However, compared to the Royal Knights of 50,000 people, the cost of a chariot fleet of 10,000 people is much higher.
"It's time..." As the low war drums beat, the armies of both sides gathered together in the wilderness. Tiger secretly thought in his heart: "Let's see if this chariot team can compete head-on with that terrifying Thunder God's Whip. ”
Of course, there is another reason why Tiger does not dare to use the chariot team in advance, because he knows very well that this chariot team is the trump card of the Kingdom of Sauron! The real ace! His Majesty the King spent countless money to build a terrifying war machine. The purpose is to fight against the invincible Holy Knights in Roland Continent!
King Sauron was extremely ambitious, and he was naturally dissatisfied with the situation where royal power was suppressed by the religious power. This chariot team is designed to be the biggest trump card against the Holy Knights when the Kingdom and the Divine Religion fall out in the future!
After the loud bugle sounded, the army formation of the Bright Empire began to move slowly.
In front of the formation is a phalanx of tens of thousands of heavy armored infantry from the Northern Legion, flanked by cavalry... Wait, cavalry? Tiger frowned, why didn't Thunder God's Whip appear
After the officers in the imperial camp shouted loudly, the phalanx of tens of thousands of heavy armored infantry regiments slowly moved forward, and the soldiers shouted in unison. The morning sun shone on their bright armor and the swords in their hands, shining out pieces of cold light.
The neat phalanx advanced slowly, the uniform pace and the heavy footsteps, as well as the clanking, clanking, clanging sounds of the soldiers' armor and weapons as they advanced, struck hard in the hearts of the Roland people.
Tiger looked solemnly as he looked at the enemy in front of him. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart again: "If I had one hundred thousand such elite infantry..."
He immediately shook his head. It was a war now, and this inexplicable thought really didn't make any sense.
He whispered something, and his herald immediately conveyed the order.
The front line of the Roland army slowly made way for a wide gap, and then they heard the horns of horns, and the sky and the earth shook in an instant! ! !
Anyone who has never seen this scene head-on will never be able to understand the shock!
With a deep and thick horn horn, the sky and the earth shook in an instant! ! Thousands of carriages formed a powerful charge, like a savage beast that was suddenly awakened, with a shocking sound, the boiling roar of the war horses, and the high-pitched shouts of the soldiers, all the sounds were mixed together. Although it doesn't sound sharp and harsh, it seems to deafen people's ears and make people's hearts tremble!
The rolling wheels brought up dust all over the sky. At the front of the cloud of dust that covered the sky were countless fast-running chariots. Although the distance was still far away, it seemed that the roars of the opposing soldiers and their voices could be heard. Blood red eyes!
The officers of the Bright Empire immediately realized the terror of the enemy force in front of them. After giving the order, the archers hiding behind the infantry phalanx immediately launched a volley! The dense rain of arrows like locusts pierced into the charging chariot convoy, but facing the heavy shield raised on the chariot, it was difficult to cause much damage to the enemy. Even if some arrows occasionally leaked in from places that were not covered by the shield, it would be difficult to effectively kill soldiers wearing heavy armor.
After a round of arrows, the opponent has already rushed closer!
"Get ready!!" the imperial officer shouted loudly.
The soldiers moved nervously, gradually getting closer, trying to make their phalanx denser and thicker.
"Get ready!!!" The officer's shout seemed a little nervous amidst the deafening charge of the opponent.
The soldiers in the front row slammed the huge shield in their hands into the ground. Then he resisted with his body.
Prepare! ! !
The spearman stretched out the spear in his hand from the gap in the shield, holding countless sharp spears flat to meet the enemies sweeping in like a violent storm.
The collision finally occurs! When the first carriage slammed into the infantry square, the spear was immediately broken by the huge impact, and then it was inserted into the ground and the shield wall was forcefully knocked open. The soldiers Their flesh and blood flew everywhere and they fell to the ground, some of them letting out pitiful wails.
The horses in the forefront of the carriage were pierced by spears, but these powerful horses screamed and dragged the carriage for several steps before collapsing.
These few steps are enough!
Breaking through the shields and spears at the forefront, the following chariots plunged into the imperial infantry phalanx like knives cutting into beef!
Spears and battle axes in the hands of the Rolandish warriors on the chariot. The rolling blades on the wheels on both sides of the carriage, the impact of the chariot as solid as a boulder, and even the trampling of the horses, these have become a nightmare for the imperial infantry!
The infantry on the front couldn't resist the impact of the opponent's chariot at all, while the infantry on both sides had been torn apart by the rolling blades like a whirlwind before they even got close to the chariot!
Faced with this amazing weapon, the quality of the Imperial infantry was immediately apparent. If it were the Roland infantry who faced such an astonishing charge, they would probably collapse quickly. But the soldiers of the Northern Legion of the Bright Empire rushed forward bravely, and fell under the rolling wheels of the chariot one after another! There was no holding back. These soldiers were so determined to die that they even used their own bodies to try to block the advance of the opponent's tanks! Some soldiers picked up the broken spears on the ground and ran over the opponent's wheels with the spears. The spear in his hand had just been inserted into the opponent's wheel, and his body had been cut into pieces by the blade! Some soldiers simply rushed forward in groups of three or five without stopping...
The imperial cavalry on both sides had already moved. They tried to attack the opponent's chariot formation from both wings, but Tiger had already asked the Holy Knights to wait. After a roar, the Holy Knights, who had been waiting for a long time, split into two groups and faced each other. The opponent's cavalry rushed over...
Facts have proved that on the battlefield, when one of the two warring parties suddenly masters a special sharp weapon, it is always easy to gain an advantage in a short period of time.
And this truth is confirmed by the Imperial Team!
It must be said that the Northern Legion led by Milo showed incomparable courage and quality. They are worthy of being the elite of the Imperial Army. In order to block the opponent's chariot convoy, they paid an extremely heavy price! Because they know that if the opponent's chariot team rushes past, what awaits the archers standing behind the infantry phalanx will be a massacre! It is impossible for a lightly equipped archer to have any resistance in the face of such a terrifying war weapon!
The cavalry on both wings had already clashed with the Holy Knights. Although the cavalry of the Northwest Army was powerful, it was still inferior to the Holy Knights that were rampant in the Roland continent. The entire empire's military formation was crushed to pieces. Tiger could see clearly from behind and immediately ordered several of his infantry regiments to charge forward!
Take advantage of this opportunity to completely defeat the opponent's tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop, and then take the opportunity to break through the opponent's defense line! !
Milo almost looked gloomily as he watched his army being massacred and bloody by the enemy. He gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat!
The archers in the rear group were the first to withdraw into the defense line. One side of the wall was knocked down, and the deep trenches looked like flat bridges. The infantry in the front were using their flesh and blood to block the enemy's progress. The soldiers retreated one after another.
Fortunately, the opponent's chariot passed through the blockade of a thick and dense infantry phalanx, and the momentum of the charge had stalled, although the soldiers on the chariot still used spears and battle axes to sweep back and forth at the surrounding imperial soldiers. But facing the mountains of corpses and stagnant wheels in front of them, the chariot could no longer roar.
These gave the imperial soldiers precious time to retreat!
After seeing that the camp in front was finally broken through, Milo gritted his teeth and issued another order!
Put down the wall! !
Although there are still tens of thousands of infantry behind, and although the two cavalry teams on both wings are still fighting desperately with the opponent's Holy Knights, the only way out behind has been closed!
The ropes on the walls of each village were pulled up, and the only retreat bridge on the trench had disappeared...
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, these imperial soldiers did not have any fear or sadness. The remaining people let out a cry, turned around and glared at the enemy behind with bloodshot eyes, and let out a desperate roar like a wild beast. Then rushed up...
The imperial cavalry on both wings fought a bloody battle to the end. They did not win the head-on confrontation with the Holy Knights, but they did not tarnish the golden tulip battle flag flying high in the military camp behind!
After the last imperial soldier fell on the battlefield, there was no joy after victory on the faces of the Roland people, only deep wonder and fear!
The corpses and blood all over the ground proved how brutal a fight this place had just been. There were also fallen and injured horses that were not dead for a while, letting out a low whine. Every knight of the Holy Knights was covered in blood, and it was no longer clear whether the blood belonged to themselves or the enemy. The swords in their hands have been put down, but when they look at the fallen opponents in front of them, their originally indifferent faces have a strange look...
This battle was the most brutal battle between the two sides in the Second Holy War. The Roland chariot team showed its powerful and terrifying strength for the first and last time. This special war weapon was later called "Meat grinder".
Tiger saw the opponent's defense line being erected again, and the arrows and fireballs in the hands of the archers and warlocks tilting down like rain. He finally sighed and ordered the troops to come back.
Although he finally won a game today, Tiger's heart felt a little heavy...
What about Thunder God's Whip? Why didn't you show up today
