Realm of Power

442 Wikia’s Counterattack (4)

In the early morning, the sun has not yet come out, and the ground is filled with white mist. Blown by the mountain wind, it surrounds this long and narrow highland like flowing white ribbons.

A black goshawk flew across the blue sky, and under its spread wings were the snow-capped mountains in the dusk.

The cold wind blew through the hills in front, and a faint rumble came from the other end of the hills. The heavy hoofs of the war horses struck the hard snowy frozen soil, and black lines appeared on the top edges of the white hills.

That was not the scene that should appear on the snow-capped mountains. The murderous Ruidian cavalry were like a layer of dense clouds covering the sky, constantly emerging in the white and vast mountains. The emergency assembly signal representing encountering the enemy rang through the sky.

"Haha, the Redians really sent cavalry to explore the road." Crolisate gently calmed the restless horse under her crotch with her hands, and sneered a few times.

Beside him, several flag captains of the Mountain Legion looked seriously at the thickening clouds in the distance. 40,000 Vecian soldiers were already in formation in this narrow and low-lying land.

Rows of heavy-duty horse-repelling guns were placed at the front of the military formation. The densely packed gun tips made people feel terrified. In addition to the powerful longbows, 10,000 Vekia mountain hunters had also lined up in a neat fan-shaped queue. The entrance to the mountain road was tightly blocked.

After learning that the Redians had assembled nearly 80,000 counterattack troops, Crolisat wisely chose to retreat from the mountain pass camp to the left side of the mountain where it was more beneficial to her.

It is a relatively narrow and long hilly hard soil zone. The undulating hills on both sides have formed three natural passages in this low-lying land, each of which is nearly 10 miles apart. It is like the intersection of a three-way road, like a traffic jam. The Vekians living inside and the vengeful Reedian army must be divided into three groups.

A ray of light flashed across Croissant's eyes, causing his pupils to shrink unnaturally. He saw the bright vests covering the Ridian cavalry horses disappearing and disappearing on the misty hills in the distance. Now, the cold cavalry spears are like rows of benchmarks lowered from the sky,

The traditional cross-heraldry double stripes of the Redian Cavalry Regiment emerged from the mist, and dense black shadows continued to pile up together with the sound of trombones, forming a long and terrifying line on the hill.

"It's so big, there must be at least 15,000 cavalry here." Because he had never seen such a large group of cavalry, a flag regiment leader couldn't suppress the shock in his heart and couldn't help but exclaimed,

"Haha, you are right," Crolisate said with a sneer on her lips, confirming the flag captain's conjecture with an affirmative tone, "This should be Ruidian's fourth knight in addition to the original one." In addition to the 13,000 cavalry, there are also 5,000 heavily armored knights! So in front of us, there is a whole order of knights."

"What a heavy knight?" Crorisart's words caused a gasp of air among the flag captains, and several flag captains looked slightly pale.

Heavy knights are the top combat force in the continental army. A fully armed heavy knight is enough to fight against 3 to 4 light cavalry. If converted into infantry, a group charge of 5,000 heavy knights can easily defeat them. An infantry group of less than 30,000 people,

If that were the case, the outcome of this encounter would have been doomed from the start.

"Why are you all so scared?" Crolisate seemed to have guessed what her subordinates were thinking, and said with a mysterious smile on her lips.

"We don't have to worry about this." Do you know why I chose to fight against the Redians here? It is because the climate here is not only severely cold, but also a typical plateau frozen soil. The three entrances are enough for the Ruidian people to lose their military advantage. In order to bite us and create opportunities for the other two forces to encircle, even if the Ruidian people No matter how tyrannical the cavalrymen are, they must abandon the heavy equipment of the knights that can crush their own horses.

"So, what we are facing is just a group of tired wolves that have lost their sharp claws." Croissant waved the riding crop in her hand, causing a whistling sound that cut through the air, towards the pale generals behind her. sneered

"But legion commander, after all, they are Ruidian regular cavalry." Looking at the confident Crolisate in front of him, Ezhak, the leader of the third flag, reminded in a low voice, he is a rare character in the mountain legion. A cautious barbarian general, known as "Long-winded Ezak" by several other generals.

But this time, the long-winded Ezhak represents the voice of most of the flag captains.

For the mountain legions that are used as second-line troops all year round, they usually face the enemy's infantry. Thinking that in front of them are the Ruidian heavy cavalry from the country of knights,

These generals of Vikia, who claim to be fearless, can't help but feel a little trembling.

"I know this very well, but we have no way out." Concerned about being attacked by Zach, Crolisate changed the gentle way he just sent him off. A burst of pressing pressure spread from his strong body, and the tone of his voice came out. There is no doubt that all the generals were shocked

"We need time. No matter what the cost, we must persist until the main force of the Grand Duke arrives. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain. If you want territory, please use your strength." Crolisate He paused for a moment, with a hint of perseverance in his tone.

"We only have 40,000 people. Even if there are longbow troops to suppress the formation, it is impossible to resist the three-way encirclement of 80,000 Ruidian people. If we don't want to wait for death, we can only choose to take the initiative.

Although our overall military strength is weaker than that of the enemy, in terms of unilateral military strength, we have an absolute advantage. However, before that, we must destroy the enemy's most mobile cavalry unit. Only by cutting off their various armies Only if we have strong connections can we have a glimmer of hope.”

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu" As soon as Crolisat finished speaking, the horn sound of the Redians' attack came from the top of the hill.

"You all, according to the original deployment, order the entire army to fight." Looking at the slowly moving cavalry group on the hill, Crolisate knew that the fateful moment had arrived, and he waved to several flag captains.

Several flag captains turned around to deploy their troops. As the order was issued, the strict military formation of the Vekia army began to change.

The accelerating Ruidian cavalry obviously did not notice this.

If it weren't for the confusing fog in front of them, they would have discovered that the Vekia Legion below, which was still a square formation just now, was now like a pair of outstretched wings, like a pair of huge arms forming a V-shape of victory.

"Sniper Longbow Formation"

The strongest formation of the Vekia army quietly appeared in the mist,

Amidst the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, the tight sound of "creeping" bowstrings came and went like raindrops. There were 20,000 hunting bows and 15,000 longbows that could pierce heavy armor.

The group of Ruidian cavalry charging towards the front, the death scythes that have already spread out to embrace,

The whole snow-capped mountain was shaken by the earth, trembling under the rapid and rumble of horse hoofbeats. Countless black lines were galloping along the mountain. In the blink of an eye, the black cloud-like group of Ruidian cavalry had crossed the mountainside, overwhelming the sky. From the heights of the hill, they launched a charge towards the Vecchia Legion arrayed below.

"The Grand Duke hopes that the method you taught is correct." Croissant felt the increasingly shaking ground, nodded slightly, and whispered in a voice that only she could hear, with piety flashing across her determined face.

"For the glory of Samor, he drew the sharp sword from his waist, stood at the forefront of the military formation, raised it high, and swung the sword fiercely at the Wikiya military formation behind him.

"shooting"

"Beng Beng Beng" As Crorisart swung her sword down, the rapid vibration of the bow string was like a heavy rain hitting the ground,

In the two-way expansion of the Wikiya army, countless black spots were like swarms of locusts rising on the horizon, shooting towards the heads of the Ruidian cavalry rushing down the mountainside.

"Neigh" the horses neighed, and the Ruidian cavalry and their horses were hit by arrows falling head-on. Thousands of Ruidian cavalry rolled down from their horses, and the horses filled with arrows hit the ground heavily.

"Vertical Shield" saw his comrades tumbling down in front of him. The Ruildian cavalry was indeed an elite battle-hardened warrior. Instead of slowing down, they all took out their shields and rushed forward against the oncoming arrows.

"Ding-dang" arrowheads hit the shield, and the war horses kept rolling and hitting each other due to the arrows, and the cavalry on top fell heavily. After nearly 3,000 cavalry were sacrificed, the first few rows of cavalry formation seemed to fall off. The old man with a mouth full of teeth rushed towards the 100-meter radius of the Wikiya army formation.

The mist flowed to the left and right of the galloping horses; the armors made a clashing sound, and the cavalry spears they held up were wetted by the adhering fog, shining with dazzling light.

"Virakud Squadron is really good." Seeing a forward cavalry holding a three-bar battle flag rushing into the Wikiya army formation, Kurd, the commander of the Fourth Knights of Ruidian who was commanding the battle on the top of the mountain, said with a smile. A cruel smile

"Wikiya clowns, it's time to let you know who is the strongest army in the mainland." The veteran Kurd said with an excited expression as he whipped his riding crop.

In his imagination, the Vecians would fall like vegetation in the wind before the swords and lances of the oncoming Riedian cavalry. Even the mist is no match for the roar of horse hooves,

Because there is no clear figure in sight, it gives Kurd a sense of enjoyment that is difficult to grasp.

The original fact should be like this. Most of the Ruidian people saw the upcoming victory on the other side of the fog. However, this illusion suddenly disappeared quickly.

The cavalry who rushed into the military formation suddenly discovered that the place where the Vecians should have been standing was now empty. Just when they were surprised,

The embarrassed screams of their companions instantly sounded, and countless powerful arrow clusters with fierce whistling sounds were shot from the thick fog on their left and right sides.

The "touch" cavalrymen found that the shields in their hands were not as thin as a piece of paper in front of the sharp arrowheads whizzing by. The arrowheads shot through them without mercy, and the bright red blood flowed from them. Shooting at the injured part

"This is a trap." Ruildian Cavalry, who had never encountered a longbow sniper formation, naturally thought of this. The powerful longbows constantly fired from both sides made Ruildian Cavalry tremble with fear.

"Rush out." Realizing that they had been fooled, the Ruidian cavalry began to rush forward recklessly with all their might.

But it was too late. They seemed to be fighting against the ethereal mist. As the distance went deeper, the arrows fired from both sides became more and more dense.

The cavalry that kept rushing forward were like a blind target, undoubtedly attracting more large troops behind them, and the tens of thousands of Ruidian cavalry who followed up followed closely without hesitation.

The cavalry group's exquisite coordination and high degree of uniformity turned this gorgeous assault battle into an unstoppable disaster. The Vecian archers on both sides could easily send arrowheads into the bodies of the Ruidian cavalrymen without even having to aim. ,

The Rieldian cavalry rushed forward like ducks being driven. The arrowheads shot from all directions and the screams of their companions falling off their horses drove them to run faster, and a bigger trap was waiting for them ahead.

A huge fault opened its mouth in front of them. It was the largest fault in the valley lowland. It was more than one kilometer long, thirty meters wide, and five meters deep.

The panicked Rieldian cavalry rushed into this natural trench, splashing mud and water. The person who just fell was groaning in pain because of the fracture, and the new victim who fell immediately after him pressed down from above, pressing the person below.

Fear surrounded the Rieldians. At this time, those who barely stood up smelled a strange smell. They distinguished from the smell that the semi-liquid that was knee-deep was oil. Trembling seized their hearts.

"Be careful, it's oil. They want to destroy us with fire attack."

Before the shouting, a wall of fire rose into the air. The Vikians fired rockets. The oil that was spread everywhere in advance caught fire at the same time, engulfing the Rieldian cavalry in flames.

Hundreds of fire wheels were linked in the mist. Each fire wheel surrounded hundreds of Rieldian cavalry. More than 10,000 cavalry were deprived of freedom of movement and unity, and were also separated.

The fire wheels penetrated the thick fog, exposing the position of the Rieldian cavalry clearly to the eyes of the Vikia archers. At this moment.

"Stop"

The Rieldian cavalry tried desperately to move their mounts that were frightened by the fire and kept kicking and jumping. The neighing of horses and the chaotic sound of horses' hooves,

and the roar of knights were covered by a new noise.

"Whoosh" The familiar feeling of tearing the air made them tremble from their souls. It was the sound of the powerful thorny longbows shooting continuously.

The captain of the Rieldian cavalry looked at the chaotic scene around him and could only loudly order his subordinates to avoid it. However, it was impossible to implement this order. The fire wheels around them made them lose their most precious mobility and impact.

From time to time, screams of people and horses being burned alive could be heard from the fire wall.

"
