Chapter 0250 Destroy the enemy 15,000
The reason why General Robert decided to order the human cavalry troops to charge was because in his impression, the elf archers were very unresisting in charge. When they were fighting on the wasteland battlefield before, thousands of human cavalry could instantly disperse the formation of tens of thousands of elf archers.
General Robert believed that as long as the cavalry forces carried out a cluster charge, they would definitely turn defeat into victory.
But General Luoba was wrong, and he ignored a few things.
The first thing is that the terrain here is no longer as wide as the wasteland battlefield. The cavalry's cluster charge advantage cannot be exerted at all, and its speed is greatly affected.
The second thing was seen by General Luoba after the human cavalry charged. Tens of thousands of human cavalrymen rushed up the high slope with the power of nine oxen and two tigers, but found that the positions of the elf archers were very scattered, and a large part of them were squatting on the trees.
The cavalry could only use their foreheads to withstand arrows shot from all directions.
General Robert's expression was a little flustered. He had never seen an elf archer squatting on a tree and shooting arrows.
In General Robert's impression, the elves archers are very arrogant troops. Squatting on the tree not only looks ugly, but also looks very ridiculous. They are not something that elves can do at all, but these elves are indeed squatting on the tree and shooting around. What's the use of the cavalry under the tree waving weapons to cut down the tree?
Every time they take to cut down a tree, they will suffer significant casualties.
If this continues, it will be like the cavalry named Schumacher said, without going back.
General Luoba held his sword tightly, shouted, and issued an order to temporarily retreat. The human cavalrymen turned their horses to retreat as if they were amnesty. They panicked and drove their horses into the evil pool, and ended up falling into the swamp.
Now the human cavalry had seen the power of the Egar Forest. The silt in the evil pool was deep and even the war horses were swallowed up completely.
Countless cavalry and horses struggled in the quagmire, and within a few minutes, they suffered a catastrophe.
This battle was the same as Chen Zhen expected. He used the dangerous land of the Egal Forest to reasonably allocate soldiers and beat the human cavalry all over the ground for teeth!
Seeing the enemy retreat, Chen Zhen wanted to swing his sword to order the elf archers to pursue, but his brows were locked tightly, but he was unable to issue such an order. However, the elf generals around Chen Zhen were impatient and suggested that the marshal immediately order the pursuit.
Even Schumacher said to Chen Zhen: "Lord, this is a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy's vitality! Let me take the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to chase me!"
Chen Zhen did not answer their words directly, and his eyes stared at the undeparted human general General Luo Ba murmured: "Ten thousand lives will be gone if they are mowed..."
He stepped forward, drew out the steel sword and pointed at General Luoba, saying, "If this attack from the human kingdom is 100% sure to win, you will definitely prosper for a hundred years, but if... you can't win, being so powerful is a sign of decline."
"Please give a message to King Ruoki. The best attack is to develop and strengthen itself in a peaceful and stable environment."
"If you are strong enough, you will be able to come to the court without fighting everywhere. This is the real strength."
"Killing will only buy the seeds of hatred. Life is so precious, not so squandering. You go."
After hearing Chen Zhen's words, General Luoba seemed to have been greatly insulted. He pointed at Chen Zhen's sword and said sternly: "As a human, do you regard the glory of the Kingdom of Ji for nothing?! You human traitor!"
"If you have the courage, come here. I will kill you without leaving any armor!"
General Luoba said this, in fact, just to cover his remnant defeated generals to retreat. He thought Chen Zhen would definitely send troops to pursue him.
In this battle, more than half of the human cavalry were lost, and General Luoba felt both painful and hated. Since the beginning of this war, this time has been the biggest loss that humans have suffered.
However, General Robert did not seem to have realized that he blamed his carelessness for the failure. He did not realize that for the human army, what was really terrible was actually the Egal Forest itself. His face was full of fighting spirit and his heart was full of expectations, hoping that the elves' troops could come out and rush towards him.
Even though he died in battle, General Robert believed that his death could inspire other human warriors to continue.
For the glory of the kingdom of Roki and for the glory of the knights, this sacrifice will be remembered by all mankind and is worthwhile.
But General Luoba waited for a long time, but none of the elf archers in the forest chased after him.
Chen Zhen shook his head in disappointment and sighed: "This is the so-called hawk. I think what he does is noble. You lead thousands of troops to invade other people's homes and kill people who are not my race. Do you think it is noble? I tell you that your king is launching an unjust battle, and failure is certain."
When General Luoba heard this, he felt a little angry, and now he became even more angry, so angry that he almost rushed over with a horse in his stomach.
But he finally held back. He looked back and saw that his cavalry had already withdrawn. He turned his head and said fiercely to Chen Zhen: "Let's see!"
Then he turned his horse and ran away.
In this battle, only more than an hour, Chen Zhen paid 500 casualties from archers, annihilated 15,000 enemy cavalry, and was the most elite and powerful cavalry. The elves around Chen Zhen seemed to be in a dream, and they couldn't believe it at all.
They couldn't believe that the elves of archers, such a powerful cavalry unit, only paid 500 casualties and wiped out more than 10,000 enemies.
Chen Zhen explained to them that Schumacher had previously led a small group of cavalry to force the 30,000 human cavalry to come, and the elves had to move around and detour. The 60,000 archers had the advantage of terrain and shot 15,000 human cavalry to death. This was called concentrating superior forces to annihilate the enemy's living forces.
If the elves archers had not concentrated 60,000 people, they would probably not have been able to achieve such a great victory.
These elves were dissatisfied before, but after this battle, they were completely convinced. They looked at each other a few times, then knelt down neatly, and said in unison: "Long live the Marshal!"
Chen Zhen laughed and helped them up one after another. The cheers of tens of thousands of elves archers in the dense forest were already heard in his ears.
The elf generals lined up to apologize to Chen Zhen, and said that in future combat operations, they would obey the dispatch. The elf archers were filled with tears. Since then, they understood that human cavalry was not scary, they were actually paper tigers.
