Chapter 1095 (2/2)
”The Knights of the concession war go down, spread out to each long gun array, maintain morale and continue to advance the front... Lanmalos!”
”Yes!”
”Charge, crush them from the front!”
”Yes!”
The excited cavalry commander mixed a trace of bloodthirsty impulse with his angry drink.
When the Azores were still frantically attacking the right wing of the Byrne legion, the spear array of the central front suddenly stopped advancing; Not only that, these seemingly indestructible phalanxes also have a tendency to retreat.
”They're defending! Yes, the imperialists are timid. They're retreating!”
Neither Anson ZAD nor the elf Prince knew where the words came from - anyway, it was too late when they wanted to stop them.
Aware that the enemy began to retreat, the Elven warriors threw down the former enemy and rushed to the central ”retreat” long gun array. No matter how many times the horn sounded behind them, it didn't help.
So the Elven warriors who drew their swords and charged almost bumped into the long gun array from the ”retreat” and launched the ”wall charging” Byrne knights.
”Boom --!!”
In the terrible crash, the Elven warriors once again proved with blood how powerless their exquisite skills and long knives are in front of the heavy cavalry with armor like steel monsters.
In the sound of rolling iron hoofs, the Azores charging forward quickly collapsed like an avalanche.
Constantly, Elven warriors tried to break through the charge, breaking through the charge of Byrne knights with sharp spears and exquisite Sabre techniques. However, except for a few winners, most of the remaining weapons were bleeding before they met the enemy.
Almost at the same time when the cavalry charged, the ”retreating” phalanx infantry immediately pressed on - unlike the ”black wall” of sakran, Bain's phalanx attack method is more similar to the ”wave”.
Instead of rushing forward, it is a staggered diagonal attack in rows, tilting the impact to the enemy's front to the greatest extent.
The disadvantage of this tactic is poor flexibility and steering; But if you want to compare the charging effect, the square infantry with guns are definitely several times stronger than the Legion infantry with shield walls - and provide cover for the charging Bain knights, so that the enemy can't organize a strong enough defense.
This is the most important!
At present, there is a very strange scene in the broken war situation - the right wing of the Byrne army has been broken, but it has broken through the central army and the left wing of the Azores. Except for a few remaining enemies, they are still fighting tenaciously, and the rest are constantly gathering to the right wing of the Byrne army in the sound of the horn.
To put it more simply, the Byrne Legion defeated the left wing, but also the right wing collapsed by the Azores. The armies of both sides attacked the other's abdomen, back and flanks in a clockwise direction.
In the face of the crazy raid of the Elven warriors, the gradually disordered long gun array and the heavy attendants were equally powerless. After a very few Ranger knights were killed, they were almost one-sided and continuous rout.
It was not until the infantry Knights led by the count of mountain rock castle were on top that they managed to stabilize the array, but it was only stable - the scattered long gun array was full of flaws in the eyes of the elf warriors, and it was only a matter of time to be killed.
Who can take the first step, defeat the last defense line of the other party, kill through the battlefield and complete the ”revolving door battle”, who can win the battle.
Therefore, the key to this battle is not the charge of Byrne knights at all, but the infantry Knights detained by Loren on the other side and never sent to the battlefield - how long and to what extent the last line of defense they stick to is the final decisive point.
Only Byrne's most elite infantry knights and demon hunters can withstand the desperate attack of the Azores, use casualties to buy time for the charging cavalry and enough time to defeat the last recalcitrant enemy!
”Retreat.”
Seeing that the Byrne knight who had broken through the central army was still charging, the elf prince said without hesitation: ”blow the horn and let Anson retreat with us with all the troops that have not been scattered.”
Although he saw the hope of defeating Loren Turin at the moment of the raid, the subsequent battle proved that the other party was not unprepared; At least now I have an advantage in military strength. If I continue to fight like this, I'm afraid my final advantage will be lost.
”But your highness, we haven't lost this battle!”
The elf warrior holding the flag on one side urgently said: ”please give us some time, I will be able to...”
”I said, retreat.”
The impatient little prince snapped directly and put a long knife on his neck: ”do you not understand what I said, or do you intend to disobey me?”
”This...”
The elf warrior really didn't dare to say more.
”The battle is over, and our goal has been achieved - break through the siege, save all the troops that can be saved, and let the rest die!” the little prince explained helplessly:
”Yes, it looks like we're about to win, but it's just because we took him by surprise - when the guy Loren Turin reacts, we'll lose.”
”Don't forget, that monster hasn't shot himself yet. Guess how many unused troops and cards he has in his hand? Guess right, there's a reward!”
”My subordinates dare not!”
”Don't you dare? Don't you dare not hurry to execute the order?!” the smiling elf Prince lowered his head and looked at the elf warrior with crescent eyes at the neck of the knife holder:
”Oh... Do you think I made a mistake, so you're going to guide me?”
”Absolutely, absolutely no such idea. My subordinates will organize a retreat!”
A moment later, a hasty horn sounded.
Almost at the same time, the marching horn of Byrne's Legion sounded at the same time, echoing it over Empire Avenue.
”They're going to run, these long ears are really going to run this time!” at the moment of hearing the horn, guy angert, the count of the mountain rock castle, excitedly waved his big sword and shouted to the Knights behind him:
”Did you hear that? This is their call for retreat - the enemy's army has been completely defeated. Now it's time to escape. Now is the time for our last counterattack!”
”Byrne, kill the enemy with me!”
”To our Duke...”
”Honor --!”
