Three hundred and sixtieth chapters decisive battle 5
Section 361 Decisive Battle 5
Of course, this is just Marvin's hope. In fact, he himself knew that the possibility of completing this task was at least half, and perhaps less than half. Ashu Rufate was likely to die in the chaos and might escape when he was defeated. It would be fine if he shrank to Gaohua City. If Ashu Rufate had legs long enough, he might even escape all the way to Eagle Falcon City.
But in fact, Marvin felt that the first possibility of Ashu Rufate was far greater than the second. After all, he was a Tsengchi wizard and had a good time to look at people. Ashu Rufate didn't look like a person who could escape... Well, from a certain perspective, this man had a special feature - he seemed very open-minded on the surface, and even if he couldn't be called straightforward, he could be said to be straightforward. But his real thoughts were lurking in a corner deep in his heart. He was a hunter, like a beast that was good at attacking. Such beasts always had fur patterns used to cover themselves, allowing themselves to lurk in inconspicuous corners. Until they attacked, they would reveal their fangs and sharp claws.
Marvin had been cleanly cut by the claws.
If Ashu Rufate suffered a defeat, the possibility of his death was far greater than being captured or fled back to Eagle Falcon City.
Marvin knew that sooner or later he would have to go to Eagle City - but before that, he still had a lot of things to do, and he would probably not be able to achieve this goal in two or three years. Of course, all this was Ash Rufate, because he forced Marvin to lose the best result.
When he thought so, he noticed that the sky had become a little clearer.
This battle really took too long. Ashu Rufate struggled tenaciously, and he had a long tug-of-war with him like a big fish on a hook. However, it ended up with the result. The fish had already been hooked and it could never escape. Yes, just after a while, when the sky was completely bright and when human eyesight could clearly observe everything, the war would end.
Ashu Rufate will pay a heavy price for his deception.
At this time, the night was still very thick, so Ma Wen's vision was very limited. He did not notice that the entire battle situation had been quietly, and there had been a huge change without realizing it, so he did not make any arrangement adjustments at all. He was just waiting anxiously for dawn, and then the cavalry who were raising their strength - although they were actually tired soldiers, were far better than ordinary soldiers - to launch the final attack.
This is like a game of cards. Although the final trump card has not been turned out yet, judging from the cards that have been released, Marvin has already won the cards. No matter what the trump card is, Ashu Rufate has lost. When the time for the flop comes, Marvin does not need to see Ashu Rufate's trump card, and can directly sweep all the chips on Ashu Rufate's desktop to his own side.
In theory, no one can turn over in this situation - except for one situation. That is, after all the chips are taken away, Ashu Rufate takes out new chips from his pocket and then immediately starts the next game.
The actual situation is similar.
The sky gradually became clear. The first thing Ma Wen saw was the terrain clearly. After a night of pursuit, the two armies had left the original plain. One night, they said it was neither long nor short, at least at this moment, what was under his feet was no longer the troublesome muddy ground when the battle was yesterday, but a gentle slope.
The reason why it is said to be a gentle slope is because the slope is really limited and can barely be considered a plain. In short, it is a battlefield that is very suitable for cavalry to gallop.
Of course, there were more cavalrymen on the side of Ashu Rufate. But Marvin no longer cared about the enemy's cavalry. Last night, he saw many horse corpses. The corpses of these horses were very complete, indicating that they were not killed in battle, but exhausted. This means that the enemy's cavalry had completely lost their combat effectiveness. In yesterday's battle, the southerners' army had always regarded the cavalry as fire brigades and put out fires everywhere. It's not that this approach was wrong, after all, they rely on this trick until now. But now, the poor horses have exhausted their energy.
Seeing that the time was almost over, Ma Wen immediately issued an order to his troops. Several messengers quickly ran towards the position of the cavalry and sent the commander's order to the position. The order was very simple: take the battle position forward, and when it was completely dawn, they immediately launched an attack.
He didn't even need to explain where to attack. The sporadic battles continued. The southerners have now weakened to the limit, and they were just simply being stolen. On the surface, both sides are still fighting, but in fact this is simply a hunting.
At this time, he heard the roar of cannons.
He never heard this sound again since yesterday afternoon. It broke the silent dawn.
The sound of cannons was emitted by cannons arranged on the top of the slope.
The terrain was like a pre-selected one. Essin placed the cannons on the top of the slope and hid his own new force behind the hillside. When it was bright enough, the cannons began to fire. The dense shells poured towards the Chaos Legion.
At this time, there were actually only more than 30 cannons on the cannon position, but because of the volley, the roar was particularly loud, and even the earth seemed to be trembling slightly.
The Chaos Legion was immediately chaotic when it was attacked. It was not just the troops that were hit by the shells that caused chaos, but the other troops stopped independently because they heard the sound of cannons. This sound of cannons is not a good sign for the Chaos Warriors.
At the same time, Essin also patrolled his troops behind the hillside.
"Brothers," he said loudly. "The opportunity to make achievements is right before your eyes. Gods are above you, and now honor and wealth are at your feet. All you have to do is bend down and pick it up!"
His cavalry had basically arrived, but half of the infantry were still on the way. However, Essin knew very well that he didn't need to wait for the infantry to arrive at all. Although he had no dark vision, after hearing the battle situation explained by Ash Rufate, he knew that the two armies had actually chased and fought for more than three days, he knew that the moment was an opportunity.
The cannons roared again. The artillery was commanded by Ashu Rufate himself. He used dark vision to manipulate the guns, making the cannon hit a very high hit rate. The shells caused considerable damage in the Chaos Legion, and the Chaos Cavalry who were preparing for assault were important targets for gathering fire.
Then, waves of cavalry suddenly emerged from behind the hillside and rushed towards the Chaos Legion chasing in a lightning momentum.
It was already dawn enough that the soldiers who were still retreating had realized that this was the reserve army's entry into the battle. At first, many people thought it was a small-scale counterattack aimed at blocking the enemy, but as the cavalry behind the hillside seemed to rush out endlessly, the entire army realized that this was a real counterattack.
All the troops that still maintained their fighting spirit turned around and were ready to do their best to support the reserve army.
In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with shouts of killing, and this was a one-sided shout. At a high place, the sound of war drums that launched a charge sounded.
Heavy knights are in the middle, while light cavalry surrounds the two wings. This is a very common tactical arrangement, but almost no one can put the new force on the battlefield at such a critical and subtle time.
The Chaos Legion did not find the reinforcements that had just arrived (the light was poor at that time, and the human vision was limited), so they thought they had won this day. At the same time, many Chaos Warriors did not form battles like normal battles because of exhaustion. In fact, a large number of them were scattered, like walking. When the sound of cannons, drums, horse hooves and shouts of killing sounds, they realized that something unusual had happened in the battle. Their officers were futile to catch them and feel that they were about to slide away from their hands.
The coalition forces turned to counterattack, and the cavalry's charge was unbelievable. There were thrilling sounds of horse hooves everywhere. The cannons tried hard to attack the Chaos Cavalry who had not yet entered the battle, increasing their chaos and obstructing their actions.
Essin took the lead in charge, and his heavy knights easily tore through the fragile and long front of Chaos and rushed directly to their rear. After completing this move, they turned around and inserted into the Chaos' front from behind.
The entire Chaos Legion was in chaos and turmoil. They were too dispersed and exhausted to resist the fierce attack of such an energetic enemy.
After seeing the hope of victory, the numb soldiers were already in despair during the retreat, so the numb soldiers were once again inspired to fight. The counterattack was not just the cavalry, but the entire coalition began to fight back.
In addition, the infantry brought by Essin also began to rush into the battlefield.
The Chaos Cavalry had no chance to play. They were concentrated fired by cannons, causing great casualties. The light cavalry surrounded them and shot them at medium-range distance with pistols. Their horses were too tired to compete with these agile and fast enemies. So they were in a tragic situation where they could not catch up and could not run away.
After a while, after confirming that the Chaos Cavalry was in a bad condition, the target of the charge of Essin's heavy cavalry was aimed at them. The clumsy and dull Chaos Cavalry could not stop the enemy's fierce charge and was opened. Then the gap was torn apart and pulled apart. It didn't take too long that the Chaos Cavalry was completely surrounded, and then was repeatedly charged and shot by the light and heavy cavalry, and they were all wiped out. They disappeared like a smog of smoke, leaving behind the bodies of people and horses all over the ground.
At this time, the Chaos Legion wanted to put their powerful magician troops into battle. But after such day and night of exploitation, almost all the Chaos Wizards were exhausted. They faced a group of small but energetic enemies. All the Chaos Wizards' efforts to release magic were interfered and failed.
A heavy knight rushed into the largest group of enemies - so many people gathered together must be to protect someone. The knights tore the Chaos Legion's team like a wedge that split the trunk of the oak tree, and rushed to the center. At least fifty Chaos wizards were in this team. All Chaos wizards who had no time to step onto the Demon Plate (or at all) escaped became dead souls under the sword.
The Chaos Legion was defeated on its entire line.
The defeat was like a mountain. Marvin and his subordinates wanted to stop the retreat, but it was useless. The battle soon broke out of control. The terror warriors would fight frantically until the last moment to win the opportunity for friendly troops to retreat or complete the team. But this time, there were no terror berserkers in the Chaos Legion.
Many of the defeated Chaos warriors even lost their weapons and armor, trying their best to reduce their weight and escape. In just half a morning, they retreated back to yesterday's battlefield.
Here, Marvin made his last effort. He gathered his team, reorganized his formation, and wanted to form a line of defense. After all, after a morning of battle, the cavalry brought by Essin had become exhausted and was no longer willing to attack the Chaos Legion lined up. But at this time, the coalition infantry had arrived.
After a burst of fierce shooting, the long-salt infantry, with the support of the giant sword warrior, shouted and launched a fierce charge, and defeated the Chaos Legion step by step. This wave of attempts was finally defeated by the repeated charges of the infantry.
The battlefield that had not been cleaned yesterday has countless corpses added today.
Essin pursued tightly. Without night, the heavy rain obstructed, the two armies' pursuit and escape were far beyond imagination. At dusk, they returned to the original battlefield - the river named Bodamir. However, after the heavy rain before, the originally gentle river had turned into a roaring and dangerous river.
The bridge was destroyed, and the Chaos Warriors were squeezed by the river. They could not find a place to wade through, so they could only jump into the river under the pressure of coalition firepower...
On this day, the Chaos Legion, which had originally been 100,000 people, was wiped out. Except for a few wizards who could fly away on the magic disk, no one escaped from this terrible killing. The ground was full of corpses of Chaos Warriors, and the same was true in the river.
At the beginning of this day, the Chaos Legion was sure to win, but at the end of this day, the Chaos Legion no longer existed. Never saw the fate on the battlefield change like this.
...
Lost... Lost... irrefutable failure...
Ma Wen stood alone on the magic plate. His once glorious and magnificent army disappeared in one day. Although he was able to escape from the terrible massacre on the ground with this flying prop, he knew he was finished.
Chapter completed!
