"Let us fight side by side and fight the enemy blood for the main force of the coalition to retreat!"

While the coalition forces retreated, the troops behind the palace led by Malik, the military commander of the Pravia Kingdom, assembled behind the gate of the camp wall. They set up a tight shield formation, extended their weapons out of the shields, and watched nervously as they approached. Winster heavy cavalry closer.

Rumble--

"Brave knights, run, let our iron hoof crush the dirty enemy!" Nearly two thousand cavalry ran in the open space outside the city of Tus, the rumble of horseshoes resounding through the entire land, actually making the land Trembling for it, from Malik’s perspective, nearly a thousand heavy cavalry lined up their horses and galloped in a long formation, and their horses hoofed up on the ground, and behind the heavy cavalry, there were more than a thousand light cavalry looming. , Despite the smoke and dust, he can still vaguely see the light crossbow in the hands of some light cavalry!

"Not good! Be careful to avoid arrow attacks!"

Malik yelled out of voice, seeming to be verifying his worry. The next moment, he just listened to a buzzing sound in the air, hundreds of black dots flew from the air, as the black dots got closer and closer, more than an arrow. The crossbow bolts that were even shorter appeared in front of everyone. These crossbow bolts flew at high speed, and fell into the crowd in just a few breaths. "what--"

"Uh--"

The moment the crossbow bolt fell, several screams suddenly sounded from the crowd. Those soldiers who were too late to defend with their shields or were a step slower were shot over by the deadly crossbow bolt, screamed and fell into a pool of blood. More crossbow bolts were blocked by the shield, and they made a clinking sound when shot on the shield. Because this was a light cavalry crossbow, the armor-breaking power was weaker than that of an infantry crossbow, so it was impossible to break the shield's defense.

However, the shield can only protect them from crossbow attacks, and cannot prevent them from being killed under the violent charge of the heavy cavalry!

Rumble--"Lay the lance flat, the knights of Winster, charge! For Your Majesty the King!"

With the sound of thunderous horseshoes, the heavily armed Magnus roared fiercely, and at the same time he lifted the heavy lance on his shoulder and clamped it under his arm. The chain cavalry and imperial knights beside him did the same. The meter-long heavy cavalry lances were put down all together, and then, just after hearing a battle roar like a flood, nearly a thousand heavy cavalry slammed into Malik and his infantry line of defense!

In the next moment, the shield was destroyed and killed, and people turned their backs on their horses. Countless infantrymen were knocked over under the impact of the horses. They flew out a few meters away. The impact was comparable to the impact of being hit by a high-speed truck. Most soldiers were fighting. The infantry in the back row was knocked back and even fell to the ground. Before they could get up, they were trampled by war horses that broke through the line of defense. They were trampled alive into a pool of flesh and steel. object.

The charging Winster heavy cavalry is also uncomfortable. Although the heavy cavalry they use is made of apple wood, which can absorb a large amount of recoil and automatically shatter, it still returns part of the recoil to the knights. Some of the horses even hit the spears raised by the coalition infantry. After the collision, the spears shattered and the horses uttered a whine, and then the knight on horseback flew away, and the unprepared knight flew out directly into the crowd. During that, he lost his combat effectiveness on the spot.

After a round of charge, before the light cavalry rushed through the gap made by the heavy cavalry, these coalition soldiers who followed the deputy commander Malik collapsed. They looked at the corpses that were trampled by the horses and screamed and threw them down. Weapon, turned around and ran back. After seeing the power of the heavy cavalry charge, no one dared to continue fighting with it!

No one can stop this defeat, even the deputy commander of the coalition forces, Malik, can't stop it—to be precise, he hasn't nearly stopped it, if he can get up from the pool of blood.

Malik was dead. He was hit by an oncoming imperial knight with a mace during the charge of the enemy heavy cavalry. He died on the spot before he even screamed. The brain plasma mixed with blood and water splashed around, almost invisible his original appearance.

The army behind the palace was defeated in a short period of time, and then, the heavy cavalry who dropped their broken heavy cavalry guns and pulled out their secondary weapons rushed into the camp with howling, slashing and screaming and fleeing the routs, those who were retreating. When the soldiers saw this, they were even more shocked and ran to the exit in horror, but the exit was already full of people. A large number of soldiers desperately tried to squeeze out, but they were so crowded that they couldn’t move forward. For a while, they were in a dilemma. , And at this moment, the Winster cavalry slammed, and they brandished blood-stained butcher knives on the heads of these unintentionally resisting coalition infantry, reaping fresh lives.

Outside the camp, watching the soldiers trapped in the camp and unable to retreat, the commander-in-chief King Titos sighed helplessly. He knew that these soldiers were over, and his position as commander-in-chief would soon end. Thinking of this, he shook his head, led his guards to follow the retreating team, leaving soldiers from various countries in the camp to be slaughtered.

After such a change, the hearts of the successfully evacuated coalition forces fell to the ice valley. Everyone bowed their heads and walked in frustration on the retreat. Almost no one spoke, except for the sound of boots on the ground and the armor and armor. The sound of touching between the armors ~lightnovelpub.net~ is deathly silence.

The coalition suffered heavy losses. This is already a fact. After walking to a safe place, King Titos ordered a count of the remaining soldiers in the army and got a shocking number: there were only less than 6,000 left in the army. People, there are more than 5,000 soldiers still in the camp. They either died in battle or surrendered. Some people may be lucky to escape from the killing area, but they have lost the courage to continue fighting. , Became a rout soldier wandering in the wilderness.

Listening to Parhati’s low tone report, King Titos sat on the ground in disregard of his image. It was difficult for him to accept such a fiasco. Before he set off, the coalition under his command consisted of more than 15,000 people. After more than a month of fighting, only less than 6,000 people were left, and even one deputy commander was lost.

He dared not look at the soldiers, nor faced the remaining nobles in the army. He could imagine that if the soldiers were not there, they would definitely accuse him of ineffective command.

"Parhati, I should listen to your suggestion and deploy the troops behind the palace in advance." King Titos whispered, his appearance seemed to be tens of years old all of a sudden, and his words were trembling. "It's not your fault, Your Majesty." Palhati looked at the loser, feeling a bit of sorrow in his heart, and he comforted: "Your Majesty, no one thought that Winsters still had a number of people hiding in the city. The huge heavy cavalry, even if we deploy the troops behind the palace in advance, it will not be able to block the charge of the heavy cavalry of Winster."

Parhati’s comfort did not make King Titos feel good. He stood up swayingly, glanced over the soldiers with low morale, smiled bitterly, and then said: "Let’s go, let’s withdraw to Sukenya. Leader, I have a hunch that we will not be able to win this war."
