Heart of Empire Chapter 271: It’s over
Wolf cavalry must not be regarded as ordinary light cavalry, although their equipment is not heavy, and galloping charges are not like heavy knights, crushing like a wall, but if anyone is because of this Just underestimate their words, that is a born idiot.
Of course, if there are heavy infantry or pikemen forming a phalanx, it is really not easy for wolf cavalry to kill them that way. But the thing is, Malone didn't.
In Ma Long's army, there are no large-scale units like pikemen that specialize in dealing with cavalry. There are two brigades of heavy infantry. Although they are not as elite as the White Wolf Guards, if they form a tight defensive formation, The White Wolf Cavalry probably won't get much benefit either.
Unfortunately, all of this is just an 'if'.
After smashing the sand bandit cavalry's interception, there was no obstacle in front of the white wolf cavalry led by Dane. They were like a sharp knife cutting into a butter cake. In a blink of an eye, the formation of the Maron Legion, which was already in chaos, was even more fragmented by the impact.
The wind howled past his face, and the excitement in Dane's heart was beyond words. Holding the blood of the earth in his hands, he rushed around among the enemies who couldn't organize effective resistance at all.
Enemies who are at a loss are hacked to death; those who raise their weapons in delusion to resist are hacked to death;
With the saber swung, Dane suffered more and more wounds, but it still didn't slow down his killing. He didn't care about the wounds he encountered during the battle. Under the slashing and killing, he couldn't count how many people he hacked to death.
Now, Dane, who was killed in the crowd, no longer needs to command his subordinates to fight. He is the arrow of the whole army, with three hundred wolf cavalry behind him, charging into the battle with him, wherever he kills, the wolf cavalry will follow, there is no need for command at all.
The wolf rider's charge was extremely effective, and Ma Long's army had been completely broken up.
But if it is said that relying on three hundred wolf riders, all the enemies can be completely defeated and killed, that is still very unrealistic. All of them are warriors with weapons. It is possible to break up the formation and disintegrate the fighting spirit, but it is impossible to kill them all and completely defeat them.
But it doesn't matter, Dane didn't feel worried at all because of this: if the wolf cavalry he brought couldn't do it, someone would help him clean it up. The manpower he brought to raid the Maron Legion this time was not just wolf cavalry. A whole second regiment, besides wolf cavalry, also has a brigade of rangers, a brigade of pure swordsmen, and a brigade of sword dancers.
How can the Malong Army, which has been crushed, resist the attack of such three brigades?
First there was a round of arrow rain, and the arrows shot by the rangers almost surpassed the understanding of bows and arrows by the soldiers under Ma Long. Led by more than 50 elite rangers, a total of 300 people fired a volley, killing nearly 100 Sand Bandit cavalry in an instant.
The sand bandit cavalry who had just regrouped and were about to resume their formation to participate in the battle were completely frightened by the huge casualties caused by the ranger's arrow rain.
The Red Turban Sand Bandit Cavalry Regiment only had six or seven hundred men in total. More than a hundred died in the previous confrontation with the wolf cavalry, and more than a hundred were shot off their horses under the arrows. Before they had time to show half of their ferocity, a third of the brothers had already been killed.
The sand bandit cavalry, who had never been very good at fighting tough battles, or could be said to be bullying and fearing the hard, had completely collapsed at this time. Although, they still had a team of more than 400 people, but after lacking a unified command and losing the will to fight, their morale fell to the point of collapse.
At this moment, they have completely given up the task of acting as a barrier in front of the entire army and blocking the enemy. The only thing the light cavalry who fled in all directions wants to do is to leave the battlefield farther and faster.
Patience didn't care about these Sand Bandit Cavalry who had started to flee the battlefield.
After Dane personally led the wolf cavalry to launch the first charge of this raid, the command of the entire army fell into the hands of General Ranger. Although Patience has never commanded a human army of more than a thousand people to fight, the elves with a very long life have participated in countless battles. Her rich war experience allowed her to get started quickly.
What's more, a large number of the main forces in the army are actually the elf troops she is familiar with, such as a large group of rangers and sword dancers.
The order Dane left her was very simple, but after Dane personally led the wolf cavalry to smash the formation of the Marlon Legion to pieces, it became even more difficult for Patience to complete the final strategic goal. For easy.
"Alexandrine, lead your swordsmen at the head; Pandorf, take your sword dancer brothers and follow the pure swordsmen behind the driver raid. Ranger troops and light infantry battalions follow me Stay consistent and charge!"
Passing past the position that the sand bandit cavalry should have been guarding, Pei Xinsi led more than a thousand soldiers and rushed into the Ma Long army.
The charging infantry are certainly not as fierce and mobile as the wolf cavalry led by Dane himself, but after all, the number is here, and the lethality will only be stronger!
The pure swordsmen who lead the battle ~IndoMTL.com~ are themselves a kind of troops with strong offense and weak defense. The mercenaries holding two-handed epees, under the leadership of their former regiment leader and current captain Delina, swung their epees violently. They will not rush and run like wolf riders. Every soldier who dares to continue to resist will be slashed and killed by their epee.
Large swaths of enemies fell, and fragmented enemy troops were immediately suppressed tightly. The battered formation of the Ma Long Legion could not withstand the raid of pure swordsmen with high morale.
And a bigger disaster is yet to come.
The faster and more lethal sword dancers also showed their scimitars after the swordsman in front opened a path for them. Smart sword dancers are even more efficient than pure swordsmen in killing people. Once all the gaps are opened, under the sword dancers' double swords, they will be torn to pieces immediately. to the point of infinity.
Occasionally there is an organized resistance, and that's okay, the ranger troops behind are not vegetarians. Under the blow of their sharp arrow rain, after several batches were killed, no enemy dared to form a formation to resist at this time.
Now, even the most optimistic person knows that Malone's army is over. (To be continued.)
