There was an eerie calm on the battlefield.
But this kind of calm made all the soldiers of the Velvet Army nervous, so that it seemed that only the sound of their own breathing could be heard in their ears.
Finally, the blood cavalry army moved!
The sound of rumbling horseshoes exploded like spring thunder, instantly boiling the wasteland.
Two cavalry teams of about seven or eight hundred people began to accelerate, and rushed to the right rear wing of the Tinder Army formation—this was the most chaotic position during the tentative attack just now.
"Raise the shield!"
"Long gun, press forward!"
In the Tinder Army, the officers' orders sounded one after another.
The shield spearmen in the front row built a steel thorn with their flesh and blood, trying to block the charge of the cavalry in front of them.
It's just that many of them are already trembling in their hands and feet.
Being able to become a member of the Velvet Army, these soldiers are definitely elite in the Eastern Region, at least the velvet flowers on their chests are personally picked on the 3,000-meter-high cliffs.
Moreover, in order to prepare for the battle with the Blood Cavalry Army, the Tinder Army also specially practiced with the Eastern Cavalry.
However, when they really faced the rolling iron hooves of the Blood Cavalry Army, they discovered to their horror that compared with the Blood Cavalry Army, the Eastern Border Cavalry was as docile as a herd of sheep.
Amidst the tremor of the ground, the two teams of blood cavalry cavalry had rushed to a certain distance, and all the cavalry began to draw their bows and arrows.
"Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Unlike the previous tentative projectiles, this time the Blood Cavalry was close enough to shoot directly.
For a time, the casualties in the Velvet Army formation increased rapidly, especially the pikemen on the periphery. The shields in front were used to block the cavalry's impact and could not provide them with complete protection. In addition, in order to maintain the order of the battle formation, they Even if they saw the arrows coming, they couldn't dodge them. They could only be shot down one by one like sculptures.
But the Velvet Army is the elite of the Eastern Territory after all, and there was no riot in the face of such a situation.
Moreover, under the order of the officer, the archers behind the position also began to fight back.
As a result, casualties also began to appear in the blood cavalry army. One by one cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses, or their horses were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
But the two cavalry teams did not slow down, nor did they distance themselves. Instead, they continued to approach the formation of the Tinder Army, while continuing to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
This is a contest of courage.
near,
closer...
The shield soldiers at the outermost edge of the Velvet Army have tensed their muscles, ready for the next impact.
But what they didn't expect was that the two blood cavalry troops who rushed forward turned their horses around at the last moment.
The two formations of cavalry seemed to hit a transparent barrier, and shot out to both sides along the tangential direction.
Such a quick turn is a great consideration of the cavalry's equestrian skills, and it also tests the coordination and discipline of the cavalry unit. If there is a slight mistake, there will be a tragedy where their own people collide together and cause subsequent serial collisions.
The officers in the Velvet Army who knew a little about cavalry tactics were all stunned. They obviously didn't expect to see such a show-off of equestrian coordination on the real battlefield.
But before they could recover from the shock, they saw a cavalry formation rushing out of the middle of the blood cavalry line separated to the two sides.
"Raise the shield, raise the shield!"
A hoarse roar sounded in the Tinder Army.
Because what rushed out this time was a heavy cavalry!
Only then did they realize that the two blood cavalry troops just now were simply feigning attacks, and now is the fatal blow!
The ground began to tremble amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes. At this moment, it seemed that nothing could stop the heavy cavalry of the Blood Cavalry Army!
forward!
Go on!
accelerate!
Speed up!
There was no hesitation, no avoidance, even if the front was a forest of spears like a steel forest.
This heavy cavalry team just accelerated to the extreme terrifying speed and bumped into it!
boom!
In an instant, it seemed as if the world had quieted down, and time had been paused.
The next moment, the cruelty continued.
Horses were pierced by spears, and a cavalryman was knocked down, but their men and horses still slammed into the formation of the Velvet Army with terrifying inertia.
The originally complete position was immediately knocked out of a hideous gap.
"Hiss..."
Count Bruckner gasped.
Seeing these well-equipped, well-trained, and fearless heavy cavalry smash into his army formation, he felt a little distressed for the other side, and couldn't help but blurted out: "Prodigal son!"
At the same time, Earl Bruggen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the heavy cavalry of the Blood Cavalry Army is quite terrifying, they are too few in number after all, and there is not enough follow-up support.
Although a huge gap was torn open in the right wing of the Tinder Army, Earl Bruggen knew that the opponent could no longer expand the results of the battle.
Next, as long as he responds calmly and directs the soldiers to stabilize their positions, this gap can be plugged and the collapse can be prevented from spreading.
But the next moment, Earl Bruggen's eyes widened.
Because, he thought that the group of heavy cavalry who had no successors continued to tear apart the right-wing formation of the Velvet Army with an impact that he could not understand.
That's a bunch of lunatics!
Earl Bruggen saw with his own eyes a heavy cavalryman with three spears stuck in his body, continuing to charge forward like a normal person.
And the one whose armor was completely deformed by the shield, the one who fell heavily from the horse, and the one whose arm was broken... They are still fighting!
No one is retreating, all are moving forward!
Earl Bruggen couldn't understand, wouldn't these people feel pain
Are they not afraid of death
What surprised Earl Brücken even more was that this heavy cavalry of about 500 men was all professional!
How can there be so many brave professionals in the blood cavalry army
Especially the three in the front are like fifth-tier professionals!
Did Colin Angelet pull all the high-level professionals in the North into the Blood Cavalry Army
Where does he have such a great prestige that he can make so many masters die for him
"Father-in-law, the right wing is about to lose its hold!"
Earl Evan's anxious reminder brought Earl Bruckner back to his senses, and he quickly suppressed the shock and fear in his heart and called the messenger.
But before he opened his mouth to issue an order, he suddenly felt a whirlwind.
In the next second, the whole world seemed to go dark.
It was not dark.
But in Earl Evan's eyes, the whole world seemed to lose its color.
Because, he watched helplessly as his father-in-law, the supreme commander of the Velvet Army, was beheaded by someone surrounded by his own army!
boom boom...
It wasn't until the bloody head rolled a few meters on the ground that Earl Evan realized that the person who did it was his guardian knight—
Fletcher!
