Heart of Empire Chapter 269: Panic
It is precisely because of the fact that Davier betrayed his original boss and took the Red Scarf Sand Bandit to join Ma Long's subordinates. He has always had a very special status in Ma Long's warlord forces. people.
Although Ma Long doesn't like Davel's rebellious character and domineering style of doing things, he rarely restrains him. In most cases, he still chooses to turn a blind eye.
It's just that today, it was because Dane's famous ranger army suddenly appeared in front of him, which put too much pressure on him, which made Malone feel a little stressed for a while, so he lost his composure.
Looking at the expression of his confidants, Ma Long also knew that his words were a bit harsh.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say some remedial words, to ease the atmosphere and the relationship. But before the words were spoken, from the corner of the eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of smoke and dust flying not far away.
There is no doubt that it is Dane's army!
Not caring about taking care of Davill's mood anymore, Marlon shouted hysterically: "The enemy is coming! Prepare to fight!"
Not only he saw the smoke and dust raised by Dane's army while galloping, but the entire army saw it!
When encountering Dane's ranger troops earlier, Malone's consecutive orders were quite correct, and it was not untimely. If he can adjust the army in time according to his own ideas, he may really be able to stabilize his position.
However, this is all just if.
Although, after receiving Malone's order, Nathan immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and prepare for the battle, but how long has it been since this order was issued? How can an army of more than 2,000 or nearly 3,000 people be able to change from a marching state to a strategic defensive state with a single sentence?
What's more, the soldiers of the legion are not stupid, and many of them are veterans. Even though Dane's army hadn't shown up yet, everyone knew from the billowing smoke and dust that there was an army rushing towards them!
No one had heard that they would encounter enemy surprise attacks on the road, and the entire army was inevitably panicked.
Fortunately, these soldiers are all professional soldiers trained by Ma Long for a long time, so they won't be completely confused when they see a surprise attack.
They adjusted their formation in a hurry. Under the loud shouts of the officers, this army still showed the characteristics of some professional soldiers. They can still be regarded as strictly disciplined. In a very short period of time, the entire formation has more or less changed, and it is no longer in the state of rushing.
But none of this compares to Dane coming too fast!
Just now, the legion that was just setting off smoke and dust in the distance seemed to have rushed to the front in the next second!
Ma Long was pale and caught off guard.
Dain's army rushed too fast! It only takes a few minutes!
Running at the forefront is a brigade of wolf cavalry. These soldiers riding on white wolves and wielding scimitars were silent and silent. They left behind the infantry rushing forward and rushed to the battlefield first!
Ma Long has never seen Dane with his own eyes, but his ears are almost hearing the cocoon. At a glance, he recognized the stalwart man riding on a strong white wolf who rushed to the front, and that must be Dane!
Looking at the heroic figure of Dane leading the charge, he was in a daze: How long has it been since he personally held a weapon and went through life and death with the soldiers under his command?
"Boss, what should we do?" Davill, who was beside Ma Long, asked this question tremblingly. Obviously, this bald dog had also been shocked by the wolf cavalry's indomitable charge. There is no longer any unhappiness from being scolded before.
This sentence awakened Ma Long from his trance. He can be regarded as a veteran on the battlefield, and he immediately ordered: "Take your men and charge up! You must stop the wolf cavalry before they charge into our formation!"
Davier was shocked: "Let my sand thief cavalry go against the wolf cavalry? Doesn't this make me die?"
How could Ma Long not know that real light cavalry like Sand Bandit Cavalry have good fighting and chasing abilities, but in a frontal charge, equipped with light armor and a scimitar, they must not even be able to pounce on their mounts. Come up to bite the opponent of the wolf cavalry.
But what else could he do?
A large group, three hundred wolf riders, the number does not seem to be many. But the formation of our own is still messy, if the opponent really rushes in, it is estimated that there is no way to organize a solid resistance. The defensive formation that has not been completed, I am afraid that under the tearing and cutting of the wolf cavalry, it will never be completed again.
The formation was cut into pieces, and then went to meet the enemy's main infantry assault... Thinking about that scene, Ma Long felt shuddering.
The only power he can use now is Davier's sand bandit cavalry.
"Who do you not count on?" Ma Long's face had become extremely severe, and he said, "If you can't stop it, stop it for me! Even if you want to slow down the speed of the enemy rushing towards me, you must of!"
"No!" Davier decisively chose to refuse, "I'm not going to die!"
Finally, when he turned around, he wanted to directly disobey Ma Long's order!
Just turned around and walked out without taking two steps, he suddenly felt Ito on his chest, his face changed, and a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Lowing his head slightly, he saw a long sword piercing his chest through the back of his chest.
Dawell turned his head with unbelievable difficulty, and he saw Ma Long, who had always treated himself meticulously in the past and always showed a serious expression, looked at him with a ferocious face at the moment.
"Go to hell!" Ma Long stepped on the back of Davill, who was unable to support his body due to pain, and knelt on the ground ~IndoMTL.com~ and pulled out the long sword.
Besides, another commander of the Sand Bandit Cavalry Regiment, Davill's adjutant, was already frightened. Until Ma Long yelled at him: "Go and organize the troops and follow the orders! Unless you want to die too!"
That man woke up like a dream, how dare he disobey Ma Long's order? He saluted in a hurry, and immediately ran to organize the troops.
A moment later, the sand bandit cavalry set off and rushed up to meet the white wolf cavalry regiment.
Ma Long climbed onto a war horse next to him, panting in his chest, and he didn't know whether it was because the sword that stabbed Davill just now was too exhausting, or because he felt breathless because of everything in front of him.
He hoped that the Sand Bandit Cavalry could entangle the Wolf Cavalry, and that his legion could put up a solid defensive formation before the Wolf Cavalry rushed in. However, there is always a feeling of tension and fear in his heart.
He seemed to have seen his troops being cut up and wiped out one by one, and his own army was defeated like a mountain.
He doesn't want to die, he wants to think of a way out for himself. (To be continued.)
