Knight with Wand
Chapter 229: Unpredictable Military Strategies
The iron hooves of the army kicked up a large piece of mud, and the two hundred Thorn Flower Cavalrymen on the right wing of the battlefield suddenly met with the five hundred Uriah Cavalrymen who were pressing forward.
The war horses collided, the spears and lances shook, and the shouts and neighs of people and horses fell down, mixed into a symphony of killing on the battlefield.
The inevitable huge cavalry collision did not allow either side to penetrate each other. The riders who killed into the opponent's army had to stop in the melee and fight desperately with the enemy in front of them.
The knights who were trapped in the battle discarded the blood-stained spears that could no longer be used, pulled out the maces and swords at their waists, swung and smashed, and fought with countless Uriahs from horseback to the ground.
The rows of phalanx spearmen on the flanks surrounded and took the opportunity to assist the knights in holding the Uriah cavalry. Scythes stretched out from the forest of spears and hooked the grassland cavalry on horseback. The short-armed warriors rushed out and used the thorn hammers and swords in their hands to knock down the Uriah horses along the gaps in the vests.
The Uriah cavalry in the middle launched a second wave of charge. The huge cavalry was not blocked or driven away by the knights. They recklessly spun and cut the side corners of the thorn flower center army. The cavalry spears, which were longer than the Orland infantry spears, fought more and more, constantly taking away the lives of the thorn flower soldiers on the side corners of the formation, forcing the northerners' army to collapse.
When one side of the battlefield was in a fierce battle, the swooping griffin on the left wing of the army overturned several grassland cavalry. The giant beast that swept across from the sky dimension instantly caused the Uriah people's charge formation to be in chaos.
At the same time, Leon activated his magic power, and a faint light miasma that no one noticed spread from the saddle of the death claw.
Among the two hundred thorn flower cavalrymen charging with spears, the Avalon knights at the front felt the surging power rising from their bodies, and their armor and weapons suddenly became as light as nothing.
Rohak, Azerien, and even the guards knights who were charging on horseback were not surprised by the boiling power that surged into their bodies.
"For! Avalon!!!"
A deafening war cry roared from the mouth of Rohak wearing a horsehair helmet, and dozens of knights had red eyes under their helmets.
Torrents converged, and steel collided.
—— Bang! —— Bang! —— Bang! .
A series of weapons clashed, and countless Uriahs were knocked away by the huge force of the Avalon knights. Rohak, who was at the front, almost ignored the force of the spear stabbing his armor. He waved his halberd and axe and swept past, and several enemies were knocked off their horses with their bodies twisted, including people and armor.
With the help of more than a dozen powerful "Military Knights", two hundred thorn flower cavalrymen, led by the knights' spears, almost cut through the chaotic Uriah army formation like a hot knife cutting butter.
Spreading its huge wings, the griffin fell with a bang in a terrifying roar, and its body suddenly turned around, and its claws fanned the surrounding cavalry away.
Baron Redo on the far left seized the opportunity. He raised his spear and halberd high, rode on horseback and led his halberd soldiers to attack.
The beast-training hunters loosened their chains, and dozens of armored war dogs, stimulated by the smell of blood, barked and pounced on the chaotic enemy.
Leon stabilized his body, saw the Redo army formation led by a hundred halberd soldiers rushing forward, and immediately urged the death claws to take off.
The war dogs and Duwana halberd soldiers quickly took over and entered the battle formation one after another.
The rear row of the Uriah cavalry lost their fighting spirit. They were blocked by a large group of friendly troops in front of them. They did not want to deploy their formation and get into a chaotic battle with the infantry without speed, so they pulled away to reorganize the team.
Looking at the repelled enemy, Leon stopped the left-wing army from pursuing.
At this moment, the enemy's most elite core troops were not far away.
".Cavalry reorganize!.Baron Redo, stabilize your line!"
As the death claws swept over the heads of the knights and halberd soldiers, Leon held the magic spear and pointed to the rear of the spearman phalanx, including the crossbow mixed company under his command.
"Sergeant Mathieu! Shrink into four echelons and come to my side!"
Shouting loudly, the griffin landed on the shallow hill with a rumble.
Listening to the archer formation behind him, the footsteps came to the left in an orderly manner. Leon looked to the right not far away and saw that the two companies of thorn flower cavalry had reorganized.
Turning his head to look diagonally forward, he stared at the Uriah flag that had circled the left wing of the thorn flower.
Achaji, who was hundreds of meters away, also looked at the posture that was still on guard. Those northerners did not get involved in the melee, which made him think whether to launch an attack immediately or continue to circle.
But a loud trumpet sounded, forcing Achaji to look back at the direction from the south.
At some point, an unknown number of Feru cavalry appeared on the high slope of the hill.
Eliver, who was leading the troops to attack, looked around the battlefield and immediately drew out the thorn sword and shouted loudly:
"——Oland!!!"
The Earl of Thorn Flower rushed down the high hill first.
"——Oland!!" Hundreds of lords and knights of the Valley County roared with their guns, attacking the rear of the enemy army that was fighting on the right wing of the thorn flower line.
Behind the Knights of the Order of Arms, hundreds of heavy cavalry galloped, carrying fluttering emblems and battle flags, and followed the lords to charge.
"."
Looking at the enemy's reinforcements appearing so quickly, War Chief Uriah pondered for a few seconds.
Continue to lead the army to fight to the death. If the griffin knight on the opposite side can be killed as soon as possible, the outcome may still be unknown.
But he didn't want to and couldn't continue to take risks for the Kantardars. What's the point of sacrificing all the tribesmen who followed him to the war and dying for the Duke of Kantardar's war?
"Retreat, retreat!"
Leon held Gangnir tightly, waiting for the enemy's attack.
But seeing Uriah riding heavily in black armor in the distance, he turned his horse around without hesitation and began to move away from the battlefield.
The whistling prairie bugle seemed to be filled with resentment. The Uriah cavalry, who had not yet fallen into a deadly fight, heard the signal to withdraw and retreated like a tide faster than when they came.
None of the Urians wanted to die meaninglessly on the northern territory. After receiving the order from the war leader, they turned their horses' heads and followed the banner and galloped toward the southeast.
Balfe seized the opportunity of the enemy's retreat and quickly ordered the entire army to press forward. Several left-wing infantry phalanxes turned around and surrounded the enemy who could not escape on the right side of the battlefield.
Seeing that the victory was established, Baron Scarface looked at the Urians retreating further and further away, feeling secretly regretful in his heart.
Naturally, the infantry could not catch up with the Urians, regardless of their retreating horses, and the lord's roundabout team seemed to have only 400 cavalry arriving. This manpower was not enough to complete the encirclement, and it was destined that all the enemies would not be left behind.
The shouts of killing in the wilderness gradually disappeared. When the last Uriah still standing was killed, the bloody battlefield was finally replaced by the roar of victory from the Orlanders.
However, only the noble generals who led the army knew that they could not relax yet.
The remaining cavalry of the Thornflower family gathered with the cavalry of the nobles of River Valley County. Elliot ordered Balfe to lead a thousand men to stay and clean the battlefield, and then gathered the Ferru cavalry that could still fight to return south.
"Leon, give me an order to have the Valley County infantry who have not arrived at the rear immediately turn around and return to the village of Bayer to support Baron Anguilla's rear-broken troops." Elliot, who was running non-stop, raised his head and shouted to the sky.
After receiving the order, Leon took the first step with the gryphon.
Halfway through, he notified the Valley County infantry team that was still trekking to turn around, and he quickly arrived at the riverside village where Baron Anguilla was stationed.
But the situation in front of me is much better than imagined. There are traces of battles in the countryside of the tributaries that can be used to cross the river. There are also some wounded soldiers in the village camps captured from the Uriahs. The casualties of this army were not serious.
After asking, I learned from Baron Anguilla that the Uria reinforcements, a force of a thousand men, were not very willing to fight. They only launched a few tentative attacks against them and then retreated.
Leon couldn't help feeling that in this war, very few parts of the process went as planned.
But no matter what, we won in the end. Even though due to the unexpected appearance of enemy reinforcements, half of the 2,400-man roundabout force had to be separated from the rear to block the attack, unable to cover all the enemy's retreat routes and annihilate them all. The two thousand Uria vanguards paid a heavy price, which was also an irrefutable victory.
Nearly an hour later, as dusk approached, the 800 Valley County infantrymen who turned back, together with the 700 cavalry troops commanded by Earliver, arrived at the village of Bayer and joined more than a thousand people from Anguilla.
Everyone unceremoniously enjoyed the temporary camp established by the Urians outside the village, as well as a considerable amount of food and grass in it. The army that was running back and forth today was finally able to stop.
The camp where the pots and stoves were raised was filled with the sounds of soldiers celebrating and the aroma of food.
After seizing a few days of food and grass from the enemy's camp, Elliot was not stingy and gave the entire army a feast. The corpses of several war horses left by the enemy outside the village also happened to be the biggest "hero" of the battle, Deathclaw. Eat fresh horse meat until your belly is round.
After Leon participated in the military meeting of the nobles, he rushed to the camp of Azerien and others before nightfall to confirm the safety of his companions and his soldiers.
Seeing Leon coming, the reactions of the old guards such as Azerion, Rohark, and Zabroun were relatively calm.
However, for the first time on the real battlefield, the Avalon cavalry experienced the amplified state. When they looked at Leon, they couldn't help but show extra enthusiasm.
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
"Hail to you, my lord!"
Several young men who were lucky enough to be recruited into the Guards came forward excitedly, straightened their backs, beat their chests and saluted their lord.
Among the people, the one with the worst record also eliminated at least two Uriah cavalry. Today, they not only felt the passion of killing everyone, but also felt the admiration and respect in the eyes of other Thorn Flower comrades after the battle.
Knight Filippo on the side was equally excited:
"It's an honor to fight alongside you again, Lord Leon."
As he caressed his chest to the leader he was currently serving, Filippo was beaming with joy. He had the honor to kill an Urian chief of a household today. Such military exploits even attracted his father, whom he had not seen for a long time, to come to visit him.
As one of the less conspicuous second sons in the family, it was the first time in many years that Filippo saw such a proud and gratified expression on the face of his father, Baron Anguilla.
"Your power is really indescribable. I never thought that I could be as strong as Lord Marcelo and Lord Ledo on the battlefield." Filippo expressed gratitude.
The other three young knights who joined the knights also nodded in agreement with great excitement.
Leon nodded, not surprised by the excitement of these new knights.
In the final analysis, the title of knight is just a title that reflects the status and glory of a noble. Reality is not a game. It does not mean that a warrior who obtains this title will have extraordinary martial arts and strength like a true "martial knight".
Although these four young thorn flower knights have been trained for many years during their service as nobles' attendants, and their martial arts skills are much better than those of civilian soldiers, they have not yet reached the level of those knights who have fought many battles.
But after today's battle, with the increase of Boiling Heart, not to mention martial arts and experience, many of them have undoubtedly temporarily reached a level where they can compete with ordinary martial knights in terms of strength alone.
The Thorn Flower Cavalry on the left wing can kill 500 elite enemy cavalry with 200 troops. Although they also have the credit of griffins raiding to assist in the battle, without the sudden appearance of a dozen Avalon "fierce generals" to lead them, they would definitely do nothing. It's not so easy. You must know that the Thorn Flower Knight on the right wing suffered a heavy loss today.
Thinking of the necklace that had been sealed into the Neti card, Leon heard from Corvis that an entire imperial army probably only had a few hundred Boiling Hearts. That thing was also a high-end military equipment for the Mage Empire. I really don’t know. How was it smuggled to the Western Continent and let that guy Duosen get one?
Of course, I am now at an advantage, especially with the help of Ms. Avroth's Neti magic. This equipment that I cherished can now be wholesaled just by looking at the level of my magic power.
Not long ago, it could only barely increase to six or seven people. Now as his magic power grows day by day, he can already spread it to more than ten or twenty people under his extreme consumption.
Unfortunately, according to Laura's original statement, the influence of the Black Neti Card is limited after all, and the magic can only be reproduced on a hundred human targets at most.
But think about it, it's not a lot. The Thorn Flower family has just been revived. Counting himself and Rohark, there are probably only a dozen or so martial knights.
Later, I can really increase the number of a hundred martial knights in batches to crush the battlefield.
Looking forward to the scene full of security, Leon responded to everyone's greetings, looked around at the Avalon soldiers surrounding him, and felt a little at ease.
Without counting, I know that twenty people are neither more nor less.
I don't know if it is because he has learned magic, but his memory is getting better and better. As long as he pays attention, he can basically remember most of the soldiers he has seen.
At least among the cavalry brought out this time, Leon did not see anyone sacrificed, only a few attendants suffered a few scratches.
"Since everything is fine, I feel relieved." Leon patted Sir Filippo's arm.
If possible, he would like to bring everyone back to Avalon, intact and complete.
After chatting with everyone, Leon left the cavalry camp.
The camp he was assigned to was a little far away from here, because the deathclaws had to stay away from the war horses, and he had to ensure that he could take off at any time.
Stepping on the muddy land full of axles and horse hooves, he had just walked a short distance when he heard Azarian's call.
Looking back, Leon stopped when he saw his good brother walking quickly.
Azarian caught up with his partner, his expression a little confused: "Leon, we obviously just won the battle, why don't you seem very happy?"
When Leon heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
"Am I being so obvious?"
"It's not that obvious, but I know you. When you have something on your mind, you speak very little." Azarian shook his head.
Leon smiled bitterly: "Well, it is true."
He nodded to his extremely trusted partner and did not hide the hesitations and worries in his mind.
"To tell you the truth, during the past few days in Usato, I have been having an 'idea' that I don't know whether it is good or bad."
Leon looked down at the fertile soil under his feet, then looked up at the gloomy sky.
".I have been able to confirm that it should be able to be implemented, and it may be able to work wonders to quickly determine the outcome of this war, but I am even more hesitant because of the serious consequences it will cause after the war."
