Chapter 518: turn of events

"General Fedotov!" The orderly's horse raised its hooves high in front of Fedotov, almost failing to stop itself. The man on horseback almost fell off. "What happened?" Fedotov's ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger. "Our cavalry...our cavalry..." The orderly was crying, his voice choked. "Say it!" The muscles on Harper's face twisted, and he grabbed the messenger's clothes with both hands, and the shadow of the defeat in the last battle enveloped his heart again. "Our cavalry is finished." Cavalry? Most of the cavalry of the Skitarii was originally hidden behind a mound. According to the pre-war plan, the main force of the cavalry was used as a reserve force. If the frontal troops of the Skitarii went well, they would take the opportunity to dispatch when the Yintons retreated. Breaking down the last psychological defense line of the Yinton people, turning their retreat into a rout, and expanding the results of the battle, if the frontal troops of the Skitarii do not fight well, they will use the cover of the terrain to go around the rear of the Yinton army formation to harass. As the commander-in-chief of the army, Fedotov forced his brain to calm down. He asked the orderly: "Don't panic, what exactly happened?" The orderly described the situation at that time, "We were quiet behind the mound Stay and wait for your order. Suddenly there is a fire in the crowd, and not only the fire, but also a terrible sound. These fires and noises did not cause much harm to our knights, only some unlucky ones Burnt. But it will be terrible for our war horses. These poor animals have never seen such a battle. Their hair is also very flammable. The war horses are frightened and no longer accept the control of their masters. Behind the mound ran wildly." The messenger recalled the scene fondly: "So many strong horses stomped on the crowd, and many soldiers were trampled into meatloaf on the spot." Ah!" Fedotov covered his face in pain. "Later, has the situation been brought under control?" "Thanks to everyone's efforts, the horse's mood has stabilized a bit, but it still doesn't behave very well. We are trying our best to appease you. At this moment, a group of people rushed towards us. , some of them were on horseback, some were on foot, and they didn't seem to be in formation. We thought it was a small team of Yinton people, and immediately organized people to resist their attack. But at this time, strange lights and noises appeared again. The mounts We panicked again, and we were attacked by them in such a chaotic situation." "Then...then..." the orderly stammered, "We...we were killed by them, I rushed over to you Report." "Damn it, how many people are there in that team?" "It was smoggy at the time, so I can't judge specifically, but I estimate that there are more than 500 people." "More than 500 people? More than 500 people killed you?" Fei Duo Tove was furious. "The situation at that time was too chaotic, and the people at the head of that team were simply demons from hell, and our swords couldn't hurt them at all, especially the one at the head, wielding a big iron chain, every time It can harvest a large amount of life by swinging it." The orderly described it like this with horror on his face. "A demon wielding chains?" Harper's body twitched. He recalled the terrible failure before him. At that time, the demon with chains rushed into his team first and slaughtered himself like melons and vegetables. Soldier. "General?" Harper looked at his boss Fedotov, hoping to get further instructions from him. Fedotov is now very entangled in his heart. Should he withdraw the infantry who are fighting now to rescue his cavalry? Let the infantry serve as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's strength, and then dispatch the cavalry to determine the outcome with one blow. Of course it was the same this time, but I didn't expect that the cavalry staying in the rear encountered a crisis first. Not to mention the powerful combat effectiveness of this cavalry, most of its members are knights and noble children, if it is in their own hands, it will definitely not have good fruit when they go back. But what would be the consequences of withdrawing the infantry who were fighting closely with the enemy like this? If some **** misunderstood his order and shouted "The cathars are defeated", wouldn't it be all over? He looked at the mound used to cover the cavalry, where there was a faint smoke, "Send my order!" Fedotov roared, "Urge the army in front to fight hard, if it can be finished within half an hour Fight, everyone will be rewarded with 10 gold coins... No! Reward 50 gold coins!" "Harper! You immediately lead someone to gather the cavalry!" Fedotov's eyes were full of anger, scorching his subordinates, Harper The fear of him surpassed that of the chained devil, and after shaking his body, he shouted: "Yes, general!" "Everyone left!" Fedotov turned his horse's head and looked around instantly. There are still six or seven hundred people around him, UU read www.uukanshu.com "Prepare for a possible sneak attack by the Yinton people!" Now he hopes to quickly end the battle in front of him, and then let his main infantry deal with that army Weird team. The order to award 50 gold coins was conveyed to the fighting infantry. The effect was just as Fedotov expected. The morale was boosted and the soldiers swung their weapons harder. However, what he didn't expect was that Yin Dun's army, which was retreating steadily, also changed its decline and its morale revived. "Damn it, do they know what happened to our cavalry? Damn it!" Fedotov cursed. Zeng heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed, and Fedotov pulled out his own sword. "Everyone!" He looked at the subordinates around him and shouted: "Now is the most critical moment! This battle will determine the success or failure of our expedition, whether to go back as a hero to enjoy the glory of victory, or go back to suffer defeat as a defeated army The shame of all is at this moment. I ordered everyone to follow me closely and charge the Yinton people. Have you seen the man in the white helmet? That is the Duke of Yinton, he is our attack The primary goal, whoever captures or kills him, I will personally report to His Majesty the King and the Archbishop, titles, wealth, beauties, you can have as many as you want!" After some mobilization, Fedotov held himself up high "Now I order—to charge!" His legs pinched the mount's stomach vigorously, and the horse and man were shot out like an arrow from the string. The people who had stayed behind with him, all of them had their own mounts, also followed Fedotov and charged towards Yin Dun's army. Fedotov, who was leading the charge, didn't notice that a team appeared from behind the mound where he had hidden the cavalry, and touched them along the path of their charge. And above the Yin Dun infantry who were fighting, a mass of terrifying heat was gathering.
