"Byrne --, forward --!!!"
With the loud voice of the Earl of fury castle and the Byrne infantry Knights waving heavy hands and big swords, they stepped forward and entered the battlefield first.
Under the cloudless clear sky, the Centaur army was shadowy on the distant horizon. Dense figures rolled up smoke and dust, and countless iron hoofs beat on the flat grass towards Bain''s Golden Lion Flag on a black background.
"Here we are."
Salald, the Earl of flaggun castle, looked at the Centaur army swept down in the distance; Looking back and sideways, he looked at Eckert beside him solemnly:
"It''s the upper four banners of the Centaur tribe and the members of the Baihe banner. Look at the posture, the animals will not be less than 30000. I''m afraid it''s all the troops of the whole flag Department!"
Eckert, with a frown, nodded slightly and said nothing more, but his eyes couldn''t help glancing behind him.
Just behind Byrne''s army array, the dwarf army from silver helmet mountain is also slowly entering the battlefield... Perhaps because of "racial disadvantage", their speed is always much slower than Byrne''s army, and they haven''t completed the array until now.
Just, really just because of the problem of "speed"?
"Do you think they are really credible?"
Similarly, turning to look behind him, the young count salard almost wrote the word "doubt" directly on his face: "we fought with them not long ago, with heavy casualties; now we have to fight side by side with them, which is too..."
It was Eckert''s "clang" of the long sword that answered him.
"Believe it or not, this is the war, this is the battlefield." the Earl of anger Castle coldly put the sharp blade on his side: "if you don''t believe your comrades in arms on the battlefield, you will only die faster!"
"As for why Byrne entered the battlefield first... We used the life and death of silver helmet mountain dwarf women and children to force them to fight for us; how can we not stand up first and set an example?"
Count salard''s expression changed slightly, clenched his teeth and stabbed the tip of his big sword into the soil.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan of "rescuing the main force of trapped Boyi", after discussing with everyone, Loren chose the tactics of joint attack, besieging and attacking the Centaur army from multiple battlefields and directions.
Of course, he had no choice but to "strike in unison" -- Boyi''s main force was besieged, and the rest of the wandering soldiers were scattered on the grassland near Qianzhang city. It took two to three days just to assemble;
The army of silver helmet mountain dwarves is close at hand, but the two sides have just experienced a bloody battle with heavy casualties; It is impossible for the two armies to cooperate on the battlefield.
As for the "imperial Legion"... Not to mention that Loren is not qualified to mobilize the other party at all. If it is his majesty akhart II, I''m afraid that "who listens to whom" on the battlefield will draw a huge question mark.
As expected, after the rapid build-up of troops, although the troops in all directions swept away the enemy''s patrol, they still exposed the target, and the Centaur immediately launched a counterattack attack.
But the strength of the counterattack was really unexpected - in order to intercept the dwarf army from the south to the north, the Centaur directly mobilized tens of thousands of troops, and it was still one of the elite forces of the four flags.
At this moment, the dwarf Legion behind has not entered the battlefield, but the Centaur army in front has begun to attack; A small number of Byrne legions who were only responsible for "cooperation" were caught in the middle of the battlefield and had to face the coming Centaur army!
"They''re going to start charging!"
Under the shaking sound of the shaking earth, count salard, who suddenly looked back, looked at the fierce and shouting Centaur army, and his face was pale:
"They''re about to charge. What should we do, Lord Eckert?!"
Tightly pursed the corners of his mouth, the dignified Countess of fury Castle didn''t say a word, didn''t even give him a look, and looked straight ahead.
In the rear of Byrne''s army, the dwarves were still adjusting their formation and preparing to enter the battlefield. It seemed that they didn''t care about the posture of Byrne''s army.
"Lord Eckert?!"
Under the deafening sound of horses'' hoofs, count salard roared and his eyes were extremely anxious: "we alone can''t stop them, Lord Eckert --!"
"Those dwarfs don''t care about our life or death at all. They must have planned to betray Byrne from the beginning. The Duke must have been cheated by them. It must be so!" the young count roared with restless anger:
"Give orders quickly, count Eckert, Byrne''s knights must not die in vain because of the enemy''s conspiracy on this battlefield!"
At the next moment, the blade in Eckert''s hand flashed, cut salald''s cheek and crossed his shoulder.
"Lord Ike, Lord ike?"
The count of fury castle looked at him quietly and spoke after a half ring: "I''ll just ask..."
"Afraid of death?!"
With a startled look, salald opened his eyes and burst out his words from between his teeth: "I''m not afraid!"
Eckert slowly looked back, glanced at the knights who were also standing in place behind him, and stared angrily: "what about you? Are you afraid of death?"
"No -- -- --!!"
"Then straighten up your waist. Even if you are afraid to die here, don''t humiliate the Duke and Byrne in front of dwarves and centaurs!"
"Before the war, I ordered Byrne''s army to hold its position first; you are soldiers, and obeying orders is your bounden duty; are you going to disobey orders and humiliate the Duke and Byrne?!"
"Never -- -- --!!"
"Very well!" Eckert turned, and the blade took back from count salard''s shoulder:
"Then show me!"
The voice of resolute words echoed in his ears, and his cheek was torn. Salald''s face was full of blood, but he didn''t care like anger, and stared at the enemy in front of him.
Hooves roared and the earth trembled.
The fighting Centaur army has crossed the horizon, and the rough figures waving long axes and shotguns in the front are clearly visible.
Looking at the rapidly approaching "towering waves", count salard, who was familiar with the cavalry, couldn''t help reading silently in the bottom of his heart.
Eight hundred steps
Behind them, the dwarves who finally assembled into an army were still trotting forward slowly, but their "five head body" short legs, even if they ran, were as different as the speed of human fast walking.
"Byrne --, scattered --!"
Eckert''s roar sounded again, and the sharp blade crossed to the right:
"Meet the enemy!!!!!"
The voice fell, and the Knights waving big swords with both hands scattered to both sides. The bright sword blades glittered like silver in the clear sky and the sun, sending out a heavy chill.
Five hundred steps
Salald looked at the Centaur who was about to rush up. Under his burly posture, it was a frightening bloodthirsty killing intention.
It''s powerful!
Clenching his teeth, salald, with a livid complexion, could not help looking at Eckert''s back again; From beginning to end, the count of fury Castle standing in front of him was as stable as a mountain.
Trembling, he clenched the hilt of the sword, and the young count of flaggun Castle tried his best to calm himself down.
Forget it, that''s it.
The big deal is just death!
Three hundred steps
Without Ike''s order at all, the infantry knights in the front row knelt on one knee, fixed the hilt in the mud, and then raised the blade like a long gun; Those in the back row raised big swords one after another and put their hands on their right shoulder;
In Byrne''s tactics, the knights met the enemy''s cavalry in the form of infantry, and there was only a moment to kill the enemy.
And at this moment
"Buzzing ---!!"
The roar of tearing air suddenly sounded from the rear of Bain''s army.
Is that... The sound of a crossbow?
Count salard almost subconsciously raised his head, looked at the sky above his head, and then his eyes coagulated.
Countless arrows soared up like a swarm of locusts, passing over the head of Bain''s army and drawing an elegant parabola in mid air.
The next second, accompanied by the harsh and sharp tearing sound, the overwhelming rain of arrows fell head-on, and "poured" into the charging Centaur army in an instant!
"Poof poof poof poof"
Screams and wails continued to ring out one after another. The whole Centaur array seemed to have been washed away by the rainstorm. The place swept by the arrow rain almost fell down. The screaming Centaur bent down and fell to the ground, and then was trampled to death by the charging Centaur behind him. The formation of the charge was also a meal.
"Crossbow?!"
Salald blurted out in amazement: "they planned it from the beginning..."
Before he finished, the dwarf infantry trotting all the way had fished through the cracks of Byrne''s army.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of dwarves holding shields and halberds have built new defensive positions, square arrays the size of a team of 100, with only a distance of two or three people passing between them.
If Byrne''s army is a war machine, the dwarf''s army is a higher level and more sophisticated top-level armed force - every soldier runs like a perfectly matched gear, and there is no deviation to the naked eye.
With a piercing whistle, the dwarf behind the shield wall smashed the shield down neatly, stuck the extended halberd on the shield''s gun rack, held the shield with his shoulder, and then
"Bang --!!"
A loud noise!
Standing in place, the dwarf shield wall was like a reef, and the Centaur stormed under the hard top.
Muscles and bones are broken, blood is gushing, and the sound of sharp blade breaking is resounding through the sky!
Under the momentum of the Centaur''s almost desperate charge, the soldiers who first met the enemy on both sides in front of the shield wall almost died together.
In the howling sound like the wind sweeping the territory, the ferocious centaurs almost braved death one by one, recklessly attacked the dwarf''s shield wall, even passed through the dwarf''s front from the gap, lifted the dwarf into the air with the long handled axe in their hands and fell to the ground.
Then the axe fell and the plasma splashed!
But that''s all.
The Centaurs who had crossed the dwarf line had no time to fight back, but the crossbows hidden behind the shield wall ran through their chest and head with heavy crossbows and fell on the grass without saying a word.
Finally realized that the Centaurs who met the hard bones were winding back like a tide; The battlefield left was almost covered with the bones of both sides; Many dying centaurs were still struggling desperately until the dwarves came forward and ran through their heads with the tip of the halberd.
From the beginning to the end, Eckert, who stood in the first row of Bain''s army array, was expressionless and watched the dwarf''s army array gradually like a fallen trapezoid. The running soldiers turned left and right and gradually spread out on the battlefield in a clockwise direction;
The turned Centaur army separated like water, and the roaring guns fell on the dwarf''s Shield Wall one after another. At the same time, they tried to detour their wings around the dwarf''s front.
But while the Centaur retreated circuitously, the two wings of the silver helmet mountain dwarf and the left and right slopes of the whole "trapezoidal army array" have been completely opened, quickly forming a new defense line.
After only a moment of stalemate, the fighting centaurs launched a second charge again - because the first charge compressed the space of the battlefield. If they retreat at this time, they will only be robbed of the initiative of the battlefield by the enemy, or fall into the arrow rain shooting range of the dwarf army.
Only by rushing up and tearing up their defense can we break the current deadlock.
The retreating centaurs regrouped and roared to launch a new charge on both wings.
In the billowing smoke and dust, countless iron horses shook the earth; In the roar of rage, he recklessly rushed to the side of the dwarf army.
However, their enemies were not what they saw in front of them. They were heavily equipped with dwarf infantry.
"Byrne --, forward --!!!"
The next second, count salald, who waved his big sword with both hands, burst out of the dwarf''s defense line from the gap of the shield wall. The heavy sword was pulled behind him, and the moment he waved it suddenly sounded the moan of the air.
"Poof --!!"
When the big sword fell, the ferocious young count swung away the long handled axe falling head-on, stepped back several steps under the charge of the Centaur, but still stubbornly stabbed the rough big sword out.
The screaming Centaur looked at his chest in disbelief. The rough sword ran through his trunk, and the ribs, spine and organs were crushed by the blade pierced from behind!
"I thought you were really going to betray the Duke and watch us die."
The count of fury castle, who didn''t look back, said calmly.
"Don''t think we haven''t thought so, count of Byrne." with a cold hum, dwarf mikheilo came forward:
"You Byrne people invade our homeland, trample on our dignity and kill our compatriots - the people of Yunling kingdom. You will never forget such hatred!"
"Yes, just like the Byrne people can never forget the tragic years when the dwarves enslaved us for hundreds of years."
Ike nodded and thought: "we all have unforgettable hatred. Bain and Yunling Kingdom... We can be peaceful, but we can never be friends."
"But now we..." the dwarf mihalo widened his eyes:
"Have a common enemy!"
