Chapter 663 The Rolling Torrent
rumbling...
The roar of tens of thousands of horseshoes stepping on the ground, from far to near, reverberated in the sky, frightened the birds and beasts to scatter, and shook the mountains and rocks.
Accompanied by the deafening sound, it began to get louder.
The overall picture of the two huge cavalry was gradually revealed in front of the condescending Lei Xiao and his party.
The dust is flying, and the shadows of people and horses are flickering.
These two billowing streams of iron carrying a torrential momentum are like two hurricanes, constantly sweeping toward each other at high speed.
When the earth trembled, the magnificent scene was like a huge wave rising from the ground, it was extremely astonishing.
Even the free energy particles in the air are completely messed up, making it impossible for people to perceive them.
"The battlefield where nearly 40,000 people gather is already equivalent to the combat power of five or more fifth-tier powerhouses. If you want to be keenly aware of the subtle energy changes in this environment, and then figure out the enemy's movements, I'm afraid that even the knotweed and the red night can't do it easily."
"On the battlefield, everything is unknown and unpredictable, which is also the most dangerous part. After all, this is not like looking back at previous classic wars from the perspective of God. Everything has been settled."
Feeling the shocking momentum, Lei Xiao thought to himself in his heart: "The ongoing war is like playing dark chess. To gain the upper hand, in addition to careful layout, you also need to predict the enemy's behavior at all times." Only by taking action can we have the hope of winning.
Nodding silently, Lei Xiao, who narrowed his eyes, noticed further.
Against the background of the sky full of wind and sand, although the two galloping cavalry appeared to be extremely chaotic at first glance, they were actually arranged in a very orderly manner.
On the side of the eldest prince, the two cavalry regiments were divided into four parts: the front army, the middle army, the rear army, and the two wings.
Judging from the equipment, the former army is the most elite and the least number of heavy cavalry.
These soldiers are dressed in black or brown heavy armor, and they all have metal lances with a length of about 5 meters in their hands. Even the mounts are equipped with thick horse armor. They look like mobile fortresses, and they are almost impossible to find. Make any flaws.
The centrists are shock cavalry in medium plate armor.
The lances of these assault cavalry were all about three meters long, and they were all equipped with metal shields and broadswords. They obviously belonged to a force that took into account both charge and close combat.
The rear army and the two wings are the largest number of light cavalry, just like those in Vince's cavalry regiment.
These light cavalry, either in gray light armor or white light armor, are equipped with lances, bows and arrows in addition to cavalry between assault cavalry and heavy cavalry, and are obviously the most flexible in the camp. It is also the most mobile force.
"My lord, the original cold flame cavalry were not worthy of bows and arrows. It was not until many large-scale battles with the southern grassland country in the past few years that they learned the tactics of riding and archery from their opponents. After all, their bows Cavalry is an extremely famous existence in the nations of the human race."
Burt took a step forward and said embarrassedly to Lei Xiao: "To tell you the truth, my lord, when I was young, I saw the ferocity of those guys in the southern rainforest fortress."
"That's true. This subordinate has also fought with these guys who are accompanied by horses. In addition to ordinary archers, there is also a kind of jumping dragon cavalry, which can be said to be extremely difficult to deal with."
Ju Bai shook his head helplessly, and echoed: "But later, after the royal family mobilized several elite magic knight troops and formulated relevant tactics, the situation was greatly alleviated."
Listening to the words of the two, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
I have heard of the prairie jumping dragon that Ju Bai mentioned.
This is an extremely difficult to tame Tier 2 monster, with a flexible body about two meters high, thick hind legs and degenerated front claws, which are its most notable features.
As a Tier 2 Warcraft that could rival an ordinary soldier squad, whether it was an individual's combat ability or endurance, it was obviously stronger than ordinary horses by more than one level.
However, just like Xiao En and his subordinate mounts, the Sky Pterosaur, taming Warcraft is an extremely difficult process.
Not only does it require the strength of the cavalry itself to be higher than that of the beasts mounted, but the training and feeding costs are far greater than that of ordinary cavalry using horses.
Most importantly, due to the human race's fear of monsters since ancient times, riding a conspicuous monster on the street will undoubtedly cause a lot of inconvenience and trouble.
Therefore, even for the vast majority of powerful knights, mounts are the most convenient horses.
"In addition to ordinary horses, there are some mutated horses whose strength can often reach the first-order three-star level, or even the first-order peak level, and are relatively easy to tame. These rare horses have naturally become elite cavalry The favorite of troops and nobles."
Lei Xiao looked at the two billowing torrents that were getting closer under the mountain, and continued to think: "It's a pity that mutated horses cannot be bred, so they cannot be deployed on a large scale."
"The combination of many reasons finally resulted in the mounts of the cavalry, which are still ordinary horses."
"It has always been my long-cherished wish to have a large-scale cavalry force, so I already have a good understanding of the common sense in this regard."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's eyes shifted, and he focused on the cavalry camp of the Second Prince's forces in the west.
I saw that the power of the second prince was similar to that of the first prince, they were both in the standard charge formation of the front, middle, rear and two wings, but the configuration was different.
The largest number of light cavalry were arranged in the front and rear armies and on the two wings, while the central army could see the assault cavalry and heavy cavalry.
Moreover, the core position of the second prince's army has always been foggy, making it difficult to see the specific structure.
"My lord, it seems that the second prince's side is obviously hiding something, and that's why he used the blinding spell."
Ju Bai stroked a stray strand of hair scattered in front of her fair forehead and behind her ears, frowning and saying.
"Exactly."
Ariel nodded, also frowned slightly, and sighed softly: "My lord, if you compare the elder brother of your subordinates to a brave warrior, then the second brother is a cunning magician." , it seems that the army under his command also perfectly fits his style, "
"It's kind of interesting, and it just corresponds to the occupations of these two people."
Looking at the cavalry army of the second prince rolling in, he asked casually, "What about the fourth son of your king's family?"
"My lord, just as my subordinate once said, the fourth brother of my subordinate is probably the most mysterious figure in the court apart from Uncle Wu and the White Knight."
Ariel's willow eyebrows were almost twisted together, and she bowed and responded: "His age is not a few years older than this subordinate, and because of some reasons that even this subordinate does not know, when he was young, he lived outside the capital. He grew up in an unknown place, and was not taken back to the court by his subordinate father until he became an adult."
"As expected of a guy who has almost no noble support, but can still compete with the other two princes. He really is extremely mysterious."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and focused his attention on the mountain top again.
At this time, the two galloping torrents were already very close to the precarious camp.
Feeling that their respective reinforcements came to reinforce them, the attacking and defending sides, who were already more and more sluggish, became excited again, and no one was willing to take a step back.
"Lord, the speed of these two groups of cavalry has begun to slow down."
Burt's old eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "After a long journey, the horses are already very tired. If you choose to charge directly at this time, without the blessing of extreme speed, the strength of the cavalry will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. If you rush to the front, you will be wiped out by the opponent's light cavalry with bows and arrows."
"It was quite an interesting scene."
Lei Xiao's gaze moved, wandering in turn at the camp below the mountain and the two cavalry armies on the surrounding plain.
In addition to the fact that the camp was still fighting in full swing, at the two ends of the plain not far away, two huge groups of cavalry had completely stopped and were restoring their formation to the best condition.
The scene that had nothing to do with him was like the infantry soldiers inside and outside the camp, an additional third party.
Just when Lei Xiao saw this.
Xiaoya, Nanxing, Nanyue and Hongye, who had already completed their tasks, had already appeared in front of him.
Judging from the slightly terrified expression on Xiaoya's fair face, it is obvious that she has not fully recovered from the tension.
"The task is hard, go back and have a good rest."
He casually patted Xiaoya's head, signaling Nan Xing Nanyue to accompany the girl back to the territory, Lei Xiao continued to watch every move on the battlefield.
You know, it was undoubtedly the first time for Lei Xiao to see such a large-scale cavalry duel.
"My lord, the current situation is very clear."
The uncle stroked his short gray beard and said, "While both sides are resting, they are looking for opportunities to eliminate the other remaining enemy forces in the camp's offensive and defensive battle."
"Judging from the long-distance journey of the two, I'm afraid the mount will not recover so quickly, right?"
Feeling the more intense murderous aura at the foot of the mountain, Ariel leaned on her chin with one hand and said thoughtfully.
"Not necessarily, among the cavalry of this size, there must be special mobile units riding mutated horses."
Under the orange-white slender eyelashes, a pair of extremely sharp star eyes were scanning back and forth between the two camps: Responding: "And whoever can successfully destroy the remaining troops of the opponent inside and outside the camp will definitely boost their morale, so if you don't As I expected, the first rescue battle should start soon."
Sure enough, the crisp orange voice just fell.
In the first prince's camp, a group of cavalry from the central army took advantage of the second prince's camp, which was still adjusting its formation, to bypass the light cavalry of the former army and gallop towards the camp.
Noticing this scene, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and observed carefully.
The number of this group of cavalry is about one brigade, advancing neatly in a diamond shape.
It can be clearly seen that on the periphery of the team are assault cavalry armed with long spears and square shields, while in the middle are a group of magicians in magic robes.
At the same time, a wave of uncommon magic power waved out from this seemingly small team.
"My lord, you are a magic knight!"
Chaoyan's star eyes lit up, and she blurted out: "The number is about five elite squadrons, among which there are many third-tier powerhouses, and they are casting large-scale group magic!"
"Chaoyan is right. The group magic performed by these five elite magic knight squadrons is comparable to that of five fourth-tier senior experts joining forces. If this rather impressive force is used, the bombardment camp is already at the end of its strength. I am afraid that the defenders will be able to tear through the line of defense in an instant and cause heavy losses to the opponent."
Ariel looked at a giant six-pointed star magic circle gradually rising from the camp of magic knights, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect the traditional nobles in this area to hide such a secret weapon. The royal magic army is nothing more than a large army of magic knights."
"In order to win this war, it seems that the traditional nobles took out all the personal guards at the bottom of the box. There were many second-tier elite cavalry in Vince's cavalry regiment before, but now they are already in the camp. It's all lost."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile: "However, it is not surprising to have so many magic knights. The power of the eldest prince headed by Songluo City used to be the core position of the Kingdom of Loren, and there will always be some ancient magic knights handed down. The legacy of the kingdom of knights."
"Hearing what the lord said, it is true."
Bai Wei, who has been paying attention to the battle situation, shook her big white tail and said: "If you think about it carefully, Uncle Randall, the head of the mercenary team, once mentioned that his family used to be the magician of the Kingdom of Loren in this area. What about the family of knights?"
After a pause, Bai Wei seemed to remember something, and said with anticipation: "By the way, the secret of the ruins of King Loren's capital has not been revealed yet, so it really makes people curious."
"As long as we successfully overcome this difficulty, we will start a comprehensive investigation of the clues of the descendants of Loren's royal family."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, his gaze still staring at the thousand-strong team that the great prince had suddenly become more ~ I saw the magic knights running around, and the giant magic circle suspended above their heads was getting stronger and stronger. full-bodied.
Moreover, there is only less than a kilometer away from the tragic camp where the flames are rising.
"My lord, the forces of the second brother have not made any movement so far. Could it be that they have given up on the defenders of the rescue camp?"
Looking at the magic knights, who were already so close to the camp, Ariel couldn't help but wondered, "Since we're going to abandon the camp, why are they rushing here without stopping?"
"Abandoning one's own camp directly will definitely cause a huge blow to morale. It is impossible for the opposing commander to do such a stupid thing."
Lei Xiao stroked his chin, and responded with frowned eyebrows: "It is not difficult to see from this that the Second Prince's forces are obviously planning some unknown means."
It wasn't long before Lei Xiao finished speaking.
On the battlefield, something unexpected happened.
