Chapter 586 Dead Mountain and Sea of Blood
The earth was trembling, and the sound of horseshoes in the distance came. The cavalry of the Holy Empire began their charge. Over the years, they were hidden under the aura of magic cannons and mechanized troops and became a dispensable chicken ribs.
When defending, they are not useful for infantry, and when attacking, they can't tear off the defense with magic cannons at all. This stuffiness that is suppressed in the chest will finally be removed today.
"Fight! Heavy cavalry to the front! Speed up!" The generals of the cavalry confirmed the orders over and over again, and the high-headed horses spewed hot air from their nostrils in the acry wind.
They want to rush into the opponent's defensive position, tear off the opponent's flesh and blood, and completely regain the confidence and strength of the cavalry to move forward bravely.
On the other side, on the infantry phalanx of the Sword Empire, a huge body more than two meters high slowly turned back: "Team! Heavy infantry to the front! Let's teach these children how to fight! Archer ready! Range measuring arrow! Let it go!"
With a bang of bowstrings, there was a harsh sound. The bows and arrows decorated with red feathers almost flew out in rows, neatly lined up in the air, flying into the distance, and deeply nailed into the soil in the distance, like a row of red low fences.
And opposite the low fence, the cavalry of the Holy Empire has rushed over, and the drums are so loud that people can't hear clearly. On a golden flag, the white crown of the Holy Empire is so dazzling.
"Well, the flag is so conspicuous that it is not afraid of becoming a target. How can our sword vine king flag look comfortable? You don't have to wash it after the war. Just rub the blood stains dry. The burly man cracked his mouth, revealing his twisted teeth, wearing two golden beans on his nose, and there was a faint trace of blood on it.
If Akado knows that the reason why the orcs like the holy sword vine king flag is that the color is dark and does not need to be cleaned. I don't know if the emperor will spit blood angrily.
"Today! Let's teach these human cavalry a lesson! Let them remember not to charge the orcs and heavy infantry easily! But our tuition is not cheap! If you want to learn, you must leave your life!" The big man's upper body was full of scars, and there was a dazzling bracelet on each of his wrists: "Raise the shield! Let the magic scrolls given by the beast god come out! Defense!"
Behind him, the huge two-meter-high bodies began to slowly move forward, and the huge shield was erected in front of his chest. From the gap of the shield, a large gun more than three meters long stretched out, and a cold light flashed faintly on the spearhead at the top of the long gun.
The reason why the 12th Army put the cavalry on both wings is that they have the most elite infantry configuration in the whole sacred empire: 50,000 bear infantry and 30,000 excellent elf forest archers. It is precisely because of such an elite that the 12th Army is called the peak of the old army.
"Tap the drum! Fight back! Fire the crossbow!" The leading bear commander took a huge shield handed over by the adjutant, pulled up the three-meter-long gun that poked the ground next to him, and shouted.
Next to him, countless light blue magic defense scrolls have been opened, and huge crossbows roared from the top of their heads to the distance, nailing the sacred imperial cavalry and horses to the ground.
The rain of arrows all over the sky was offset by the magic defense scrolls. A few bows and arrows hit the shield and made a crisp sound. The orc troops were attacked by their opponents, and the sound of drums was beaten more tyrannical. The archers of the Sword Empire began to fight back, covering the sky and the sun. The crossbows attacked the cavalry of the Holy Empire, and the cavalry of the Holy Empire were put down one after another by the dense rain of arrows - not everyone has the money to buy a huge number of magic scrolls for their troops, not to mention that since the birth of the magic technology of the Sword Empire, there is no country except the Sword Empire. There are so many magicians who are willing to draw scrolls.
Two huge steel torrents soon hit each other. One was the devastated cavalry charge, and the other was the rock-solid infantry defense. The sound of metal tearing and friction was connected, and there was sparks everywhere.
The Holy Imperial Cavalry rushing to the front finally saw the appearance of their opponents. These infantry in black armor were more than two meters high, and their thick armor knives and guns were invulnerable. The huge shield was full of sharp collision angles, and the thick shield was as thick as the steel plate on an armored car.
It's too late to turn back. The heavy armor, which was originally strong, hit an almost solid iron ingot without any confidence, and flew flesh and blood in an instant.
In the airtight steel house formed by the shield, the bear warriors strongly supported the huge impact of the cavalry. Their feet had been deeply inserted into the soil. The bearmen behind pushed the back of the bearman in front of them. They felt that the shield was hit hard and connected.
The bear warrior holding a long gun put the tail of the long gun on the shield of the soldiers in the back row. Even so, he could still feel the long gun running through something. After a while, red plasma flowed down the barrel of the long gun to the palm of his hand, making the bearman warrior who saw all this more forgetful roar.
For about a few minutes, the bear soldiers felt that the power to hit the shield was getting smaller and smaller. The human cavalry failed to penetrate the orc's position, and thousands of cavalry lost their speed and advanced and retreated in front of the bearman heavy infantry.
The bear shield soldiers in the front row have been cut down, and more cavalry have become pieces and fallen under their feet. The cavalry of the Holy Empire failed to shake the defense line of the opponent's infantry and panicked and did not know what to do. In the orc position, a huge creepy command spread like thunder.
"Strike back!" The order was sent to the four directions, and the motionless infantry phalanx surrounded by shields into iron barrels suddenly came to life, and the shield on one side was scattered like fish scales, like waves on the water.
The best hand-to-hand combat of the Bearman Heavy Infantry began. Human cavalry who have lost their speed are like babies facing the devil in front of these killing machines.
"Kill!" Rows of long guns suddenly stabbed out, and the soldiers in the back row had thrown away their huge shields and picked up the sharp axes or long knives at their feet. Blood splashed, and the smashed white bones witnessed the brutality and bravery of these natural soldiers.
The war horse was knocked down with one punch, and the knight on it fell off the horse. Before he got up, he was stepped on his chest by the huge soles of his feet. The sound of broken ribs came from it. The mouth that was shouting just now could only spit out spring-like blood. The wide eyes dispersed, followed by the boundless darkness.
When John led 30,000 light war horse knights to the battlefield, in front of the position of the bear army, there was a sea of corpses and blood. 50,000 human cavalry were completely annihilated by 30,000 bear warriors, and only a few horses were left wandering back and forth in the center of the corpses on the ground, hissing from time to time.
