In fact, the troll army led by Prince Okamoto is not completely without elites.
If an army composed entirely of new recruits were really sent south to attack the northern border, then after they crossed the thousand-mile ice sheet, if half of the 100,000 army could run, it would be considered that Prince Okamoto had a good command.
In order to be able to successfully complete the important task of blocking the back of the black cavalry, Prince Okamoto still has an elite army of 30,000 with good combat effectiveness, and among them, the most powerful is the 3,000 wolf cavalry.
This is also the last organized wolf cavalry unit of the troll empire. If it weren't for the cavalry's uselessness in defending the city, the troll emperor would probably be reluctant to hand over the last bit of his wealth to Prince Okamoto.
Facing the menacing black cavalry, at this time Prince Okamoto ordered 3,000 wolf cavalry to fight in desperation, and cooperated with the infantry to attack the incoming black cavalry.
If the troll army is elite enough, this is actually not an absurd military order.
But Prince Okamoto didn't know at all how big the gap was between the wolf cavalry under his command and the black cavalry that was truly invincible across the ice field.
The three thousand wolf cavalry were originally deployed on the right wing of the central army, but they were actually set up to guard against the enemy's harassment. Now they sent troops from the flank, which did not cause much confusion.
But when Colin saw the wolf cavalry attacking from a distance, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He had already learned from Charles that the commander of this army of trolls was an old acquaintance, Prince Okamoto, but he did not expect that the young troll prince would be so restless.
Without waiting for Colin's order, the Logue knights, who were already familiar with how to deal with wolf cavalry, immediately led their troops to retreat, away from the flanks of the troll army.
The generals of the Black Cavalry Army have already practiced countless times with Marquis Garcia on how to break the troll's infantry and cavalry.
The method is very simple.
If you have a strong force, the cavalry that defeats the enemy head-on is the best choice.
If the troops are insufficient, it is the most appropriate tactic to temporarily avoid the edge, lure the enemy cavalry away from the infantry formation, and then attack according to the situation.
Therefore, the first time the Logue knight saw the figure of the wolf cavalry, he immediately led his subordinates who were carrying out the harassment operation to turn around.
Short syllables sounded from the bugle, which was a signal to retreat temporarily.
At this time, the flanks of the troll army were already full of smoke and dust, and the wolf cavalry suddenly stretched out from the troll army like a thick arm, and the tails of the black cavalry chased after them.
After a split second, a muffled bang exploded on the battlefield.
The tail of the black cavalry was still caught by the wolf cavalry.
Amidst the neighing of war horses, the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army raised their weapons and waved their knives at each other.
Then, countless figures screamed and were cut down from the horse.
The troll wolf cavalry was also attacked by a wave of extremely violent arrow rain at this moment, and the troll wolf cavalry, who were wielding long knives and covered their heads, fell off their horses one after another before they could raise their shields to cover them in the arrow rain.
In the blink of an eye, this sudden and fierce collision ended, leaving only lumps of flesh and blood in place, which were quickly covered by the swarming troll infantry.
This wolf cavalry was indeed considered elite. This charge almost completely crushed the black cavalry's tail, and also caused the biggest damage to the black cavalry since the war began.
This kind of victory made the trolls who had been holding their breath howl excitedly, and the blood flowing across the sky and the broken limbs and arms flying all over the sky aroused their ferocity even more.
As a result, they roared like ghosts and wolves, and chased and killed the black cavalry army.
At this time, Prince Okamoto, who was watching the battle in the rear, also waved his fist fiercely, as if to vent all the suffocation he had suffered in the past few days.
Unfortunately, when the young prince couldn't see the situation on the battlefield clearly and ordered his subordinates to continue strangling the enemy regardless, he pushed the army into the abyss of destruction step by step.
Colin was overjoyed when he saw the wolf cavalry continue to chase out, and the distance between them and the infantry army behind them was getting wider and wider.
Originally, he planned to use the tactics of constant harassment to drag the army of trolls to death little by little during the march, but now, he found a golden opportunity.
In fact, this is the real difference between a talented general and a mediocre one. In the face of the chaotic, complex and ever-changing battlefield situation, the mediocre will only be at a loss, and even fail to move repeatedly, while the real famous general can grasp the fleeting opportunity , to make the most correct decision.
This step seems simple, but it requires great courage, courage and a keen sense of the battlefield.
Colin did not live up to the evaluation of him by Knight Bliss and Marquis Garcia-"This is a person who was born for the battlefield".
woo—
The long bugle sounded immediately, and Colin gave the order to attack.
Teams of black cavalry changed direction again, and the arrows in the sky suddenly became denser.
Between people shouting and neighing, accompanied by the sound of rolling horseshoes, the situation on the battlefield changed again in an instant.
The troll wolf cavalry chased after the enemy in vain, only to find that black cavalry appeared on both sides of them at some point.
However, the black cavalry army in front of them separated to both sides like a tide. Just when the leader of the wolf cavalry was struggling with where to pursue, the black tide in front of him cleared up, but a new monstrous wave ushered in again—
A heavy armored cavalry hit them head-on!
The leader of the wolf cavalry immediately lost his soul, and only then realized that he had chased too deeply.
But at this time, even if he wanted the wolf cavalry to stop, it was impossible.
For the wolf cavalry in charge, it would take a lot of effort to change direction, let alone stop and turn around.
Under the action of inertia, the three thousand wolf cavalry ran into the heavy armored cavalry of the Black Cavalry.
Boom boom boom!
In an instant, countless wolf riders were knocked to the ground and trampled to pieces.
The wolf cavalry, who were at the end of their strength, were wearing light armor. Unprepared, they bumped head-on into the heavy armored cavalry of the Black Cavalry who were waiting in full formation. The scene was so tragic that they couldn't bear to look directly at it.
The black cavalry light cavalry cruising around also took the opportunity to surround them like a pack of wolves.
At this time, life is as fragile as brittle grass, and in a blink of an eye, it quietly disappears into the world with the blood sprayed all over the sky.
The Black Cavalry Army taught the trolls a bloody lesson with flexible tactics and strong combat power, letting them know who is the real master of this ice field!
The three thousand wolf cavalry collapsed almost in one encounter.
The wolf riders who fell behind desperately turned around, trying to rush back, so that the infantry army behind them could meet them.
But this sudden change of direction without preparation is an extremely difficult and difficult action for the galloping direwolf.
Under the chaos, the army formation of the Wolf Cavalry was completely torn apart.
Prince Okamoto, who witnessed all this, also experienced the feeling of falling from heaven to hell in an instant. Under the anger and fear, he completely lost his sense of proportion and frantically ordered the infantry army to meet the scattered wolf cavalry.
And this order completely cut off the last hope of the troll army.
