The two lines of support were held back by the giants, and the frontal battlefield was naturally more difficult.
I don't know if Lide will come to Lord Lingwu, but she didn't have this item in her plan.
Even though the number of troops has dropped sharply and the balance of victory is tilted more and more towards the giants, the expression of the Lingwu lord has not changed, just like the spectators who have already predicted the result and the actors in the stands are performing hard with a glass of red wine. The depths have always been ancient wells. There may be impatience in her body to want to win, but there is no panic from the beginning to the end.
But in fact, the number of troops has been constantly decreasing.
War Ghost no longer dared to lead his army to fight the giants head-on, because he had less than two thousand cavalry left under his command, and the number of infantry had dropped sharply to less than ten thousand. War Ghost is very clear-headed. He knows that the most important thing in the current situation is not the low-level giants, but the Jinyao giants. In other words, ensuring that Garberd can kill the Jinyao giants has always been the first priority on the battlefield.
If the number of troops continues to decrease, it will be difficult to supply Garberd with enough strength, then the original battle plan will be completely abolished, and all the sacrifices made on this journey northward will become meaningless.
War Ghost hammered one arm at his side, his breath already smelled of blood.
An atmosphere of despair and depression enveloped him, but this burly man with a resolute face still held on and did not fall down. He remembered that when he came to Yuewei on the first day, the old general Long Tianzhu told him:
— "When you can't hold on, turn your head and look behind yourself. Lingwu's army has not been wiped out yet, why do you think you have lost!"
Since its birth, Lingwu has been a territory that was not accepted by the Eternal Heaven Kingdom. It guards the snow-covered north alone, and it is extremely cold for most of the year. The north is invaded by the giant race, and the south is crowded out by various territories. Lingwu has grown up in such a crack.
Soldiers in Lingwu know unity better than soldiers in any other territory, but they also fear unity from the bottom of their hearts. If you don't hold a group to keep warm, you can't resist the severe cold in the world, but after you get close to each other, every time your companion dies, it will bring great pain. Lingwu recruits often have to attend dozens of funerals of their predecessors before they can hide the anger in their hearts, fight the enemy calmly and bravely on the battlefield, and never back down.
Naturally, the giants didn't intend to delay Lingwu's army any longer. They were already the one with the upper hand, so there was no need to have long nights and dreams. After the Yinhua giant issued the order, the lower giants quickly divided into two groups, one part continued to chase down Lingwu's army, and the other part took a detour and began to encircle them.
In this case, Zhan Ghost immediately chose to turn around and counterattack. Being trapped means greater casualties, and before that, there is still a chance of turning around and fighting back.
"Brother, your body can no longer hold on..."
Zhan Mei held the giant ax in both hands, and said to her brother.
War Ghost shook his head, raised the only hand that could move, and clenched his fist. The muscles all over his body were tense, and the war horse under him seemed to feel the master's will, galloping with all four hooves, neighing in pain. Zhan Ghost turned his head and said to Zhan Mei:
"If I die, you will be the general of the Moon Guard."
Zhan Mei tightly clenched the giant ax in her hand, took a deep breath, and said:
"Follow... order!"
War Ghost pounded his tight fists on the muscles of his chest, and rushed towards the oncoming army of giants without hesitation. Gritting her teeth, Zhan Mei followed with the battle ax in her hand.
Even though Lingwu's army suffered heavy casualties, it was still very flexible. The rear team changed to the front team. The cavalry team that was rushing to the front covered the two wings, and the infantry charged in the middle. The whole process took less than 20 seconds.
War Ghost clenched his fists and punched recklessly, breaking the leg bones of many giants along the way, and the fallen giants made rumbling noises. The ribs on War Ghost's chest crackled, and his heart was beating wildly, both in terms of speed and strength, which were already abnormal. The muscles of the fists that were swung were cracked, and the yellow veins and snow-white bones could be clearly seen.
After killing the giants' pursuers all the way, the number of iron cavalry was reduced by about a thousand, and there were only less than three thousand infantry left.
The steed under War Ghost let out a long cry, and fell to the ground, its hooves twitching, and its sweat was like plasma.
It carried the war ghost to life and death several times, overdrawn all its physical strength, and finally collapsed helplessly because of a broken heart.
War Ghost was also exhausted, and his broken leg hadn't recovered, so he couldn't get up from the ground. He tried to sit up with force, only to realize that his whole body was shaking non-stop due to overwork, and his arms had completely lost consciousness.
Lord Lingwu didn't look back, and the commander of Yinwei was concentrating on dealing with the danger in front of him.
Only Garberd turned around and glanced at the situation on the ground, and no one could read what was in his eyes.
Zhan Mei threw away the axe, jumped off the horse, threw herself in front of her elder brother, and half-kneeled on the ground, her voice was already a little more crying:
"elder brother!"
Zhan Gui opened his eyes, looked at her, and at the army behind Lingwu, panting heavily, and said:
"Lead the team out of here, hurry up...!"
The giant army will come again soon. The three medium giants present could not give Lingwu's army any breathing room.
Zhan Mei grabbed her brother's arm, supported him up, and wanted to put him on her horse. Of course the war ghost refused, the dispute lasted only a dozen seconds, the ground had already started to tremble, and the giants who were in charge of outflanking the detour had already turned around and rushed straight towards this side.
War Ghost closed his eyes and tried his best to think about countermeasures, but found that there were no countermeasures.
In desperation, he suddenly heard Zhan Mei shout loudly:
"Support! Support is here!"
Zhan Gui opened his eyes and saw his younger sister who was full of joy. He turned around, only to find that on the horizon behind him was a field of iron cavalry running wildly, led by the high-ranking Moon Guard who had been sent to the royal family. The number is about 10,000, and it is obviously the support that used mobility to rush here first.
At that moment, hope was rekindled in Zhan Ghost's chest, Zhan Mei helped him get up, and walked towards the horse.
next moment.
The Jin Yao giant's eyes moved down and landed on the cavalry rushing here, with a smile on his face.
The mountain-like huge body moved, one leg was raised high, and it fell heavily.
The world seemed to stand still for a moment.
Afterwards, a crack suddenly opened on the solid ground, flowing and extending crazily like lightning, expanding into a bottomless ravine in an instant. This crack extended to Zhan Ghost and Zhan Mei's feet, Zhan Ghost immediately fell down, Zhan Mei grabbed his wrist with one hand, and grabbed a rock with the other hand, both bodies were suspended in the air .
The first thing Zhan Mei was worried about was not the immediate danger, she almost immediately looked in the direction where the crack spread.
There, the earth collapsed, and the invincible Lingwu cavalry didn't even have time to react, and fell directly into the abyss, leaving no bones left. The senior executive of the Moon Guard who led the team disappeared into the darkness blankly, his eyes were dull before he died, and he didn't react until he died.
