Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 953 Battle of Jinghu Lake (5)

The death of the Clay teenager seemed to wake up his compatriots. They fought desperately here, but everything they got belonged to their chief.After the Clay people moved westward, the life of the Clay herdsmen became extremely difficult. Otherwise, how could the area of ​​Yijinghu Camp, which can only accommodate 200,000 people, house 450,000 soldiers and nearly 200,000 ordinary people? Herders?

If the battle goes well, these herdsmen will fight bravely. After all, they have to live on and their families must live on. Winning the battle can make their families live better. If they die in the battle, their families will get even more. A generous amount of cares, these cares only for cattle and sheep are enough to allow their families to spend the next cold winter.

However, now the rear homes of these Clay people are being attacked by the enemy. Looking at the black smoke that is enough to cover half of the sky, I am afraid that my family has been killed in the sea of ​​flames?If there are no family members, then why do these Clay fighters continue to fight?Had it not been for Chief Abdul’s harsh criminal law, perhaps the entire Clay army would have collapsed now.In spite of this, the soldiers of the Clay clan still stopped charging towards the expeditionary camp, looking around blankly, not knowing what to do.

Chief Abdul soon learned the accurate news of the attack on Jinghu Camp. He pulled out the scimitar decorated with countless gems on his waist, strenuously hacked to death the subordinates who persuaded him to return to the army immediately for rescue, and then viciously. He pointed the blood-stained scimitar to his front, which was also the direction of the Imperial Expeditionary Army camp.

"Give me an order! Be sure to take down the enemy's barracks today. Whoever flinches, kill! Whoever slows down, kill! Whoever spreads rumors, kill!" Chief Abdul did not hesitate to issue a military order: "Kerry Mu, you led the Hoarfrost Legion to personally supervise the battle! If the enemy camp cannot be broken after 1 hour, the entire army will be cut!"

After seeing Chief Abdul’s hideous face, everyone present was silent. Kerim drew out his scimitar with a loud shout. With a slight movement of his wrist, the sharp blade had already cut his finger. .Kailimu smeared his bloody fingers on his face, and the blood immediately stained his cheeks. After finishing this, Kailimu replied loudly: "Yes!"

When Kerim’s blood oath to execute Chief Abdul’s order was passed on by the commander, all the Clay fighters were shocked. Under the deterrence of Chief Abdul’s cruel torture law, these threats The soldiers of the Lai clan knew that they had nowhere to go, their only choice was to advance desperately.

The thick horn was blown again, and the order of the entire army to attack soon spread to all the Clay fighters. Then, there was a strange silence on the entire battlefield, even the sound of a drop of sweat falling onto the turf. It is also clear and audible."Neigh~~" A war horse under the crotch of a Clay warrior suddenly hissed, and then countless scimitars were raised high, and hundreds of thousands of war horses made a long hiss together. The sound was shaking. , Even the clear sky became gloomy at this moment, and the fiery sun seemed to be afraid of the murderous intent of hundreds of thousands of Clay soldiers on the ground, and quietly hid among the clouds.

"Kill!" A Clay captain roared, and the horse rushed towards the camp of the expeditionary army. Under the leadership of the Clay captain, more Clay fighters followed and galloped.A phalanx of Clay cavalry began to move, and soon led more cavalry phalanxes forward. These cavalry of the Clay family were able to maintain a neat formation at first, but soon after the horse galloped. It naturally became a loose formation, as if they were grazing cattle and sheep and shooting prey.

At this time, the greatest pressure is on the soldiers of the Jonas Legion who are responsible for guarding the front of the camp. After all, they only have 15,000 people, but they are facing more than 300,000 cavalry charges at full speed, even the brave warrior will Feeling frightened.

Fortunately, when he saw the billowing black smoke floating from behind the Clay clan, Jonas knew that Ryan had succeeded, so he no longer deployed defenses everywhere, but quickly mobilized other troops to deploy all 30,000 fighters. It was placed on the west side of the camp, that is, the direction facing the impact of the Clay cavalry.

The 10,000 square infantry lined up in 4 rows close together. Behind them, Colin and Thomas totaled 20,000 shooters. Colin and Thomas, who laughed and cursed, had no relaxed expressions at all. They tried their best. Roaring with all his strength, he commanded his subordinates to shoot the arrows in their hands at the fastest speed.

There are 20,000 shooters in a team of 2500, and there are 8 rows. Their shooters cover an area as large as 1,000 meters to 300 meters. They don’t have to worry about arrows because there are 10,000 logistics fighters behind them. With large bundles of arrows, these war machines from the imperial capital have been fully operational. The only thing they thought of, and the only thing they were doing was shooting, shooting, and shooting.

The dense rain of arrows whizzed away, reaping the lives of the Clay warriors who were running wildly, but there were too many Clay warriors who charged frantically. The 20,000 shooters were unable to form a section in front of them at full speed. In the passage of death, there are still a large number of Clay fighters rushing into the area less than 300 meters from the expeditionary camp, which means that short-term combat is about to start.

"Everyone raise their spears and prepare to collide!" Jonas was already on the front line and commanded himself. He held a spear and stood in the third row of the phalanx. Jonas's spear was specially made. The tip is scarlet, quite eye-catching. In a sense, it is also a banner for commanding troops to advance and retreat on the battlefield.

"200 meters!"

"150 meters!"

"100 metres!"

"80 meters!"

Although he has experienced a series of battles such as the Thor Fortress and the Defense of the Imperial Capital, he can be regarded as rich in experience, but when Jonas faced the boundless Clay cavalry charge, his heart still inevitably increased. , It’s just that Jonas’s commanding voice is quite steady. No one knows that the hands and feet of the current captain of Jonas are already a little numb.

"Attention everyone, there are still 50 meters!" Jonas clasped the weapon in his hand and loudly reminded his subordinates to concentrate. On the endless prairie, the only way for infantry to compete with cavalry was to form a tight square formation. Other than that, any method is useless, so what Jonas needs to do now is to maintain his own formation as much as possible to block the impact of the Clay cavalry.

Four rows of phalanx infantry, the first row of sword and shield warriors holding a shield high, they pressed against the tower shield in their hands to avoid being hit by the enemy's galloping horses.The second to fourth rows are the spear fighters. They stretched out their spears obliquely, forming a spear screen.

Such a phalanx can block the onslaught of the orcs with only a wooden fence when in the Thor Fortress, not to mention that the soldiers forming the phalanx are strictly selected and trained, and their combat effectiveness is better than that of Jonas’s. The improvised troops do not know how strong they are, so Jonas is confident to block the charge of the Clays.

The sharp spear blades gleamed with a dazzling cold light under the sunlight. Although the horses under the crotch of the Clay warriors didn’t know what they were facing, they were still afraid based on the instincts of animals and did not dare to force them. When hitting the gun array, many horses would rather stop violating the owner’s order. In the case of a rush, the result of a sudden stop is not to lose their balance and roll directly to the ground, or they are chased by their companions and hacked to death. .

More Clay herders closed their eyes and slammed their feet on the stirrup to stab the lower abdomen of the warhorse, causing the intense pain to spur the warhorse into the expeditionary army's gun formation.Even the weight of several hundred kilograms of horses and humans is galloping, and the impact is naturally extraordinary. The sword and shield warriors in the first row can't withstand such an impact. They suddenly fell back and hit the one behind him. On the companion body, the neat phalanx also dented a large area in an instant.

Fortunately, these soldiers of the Jonas Legion are the best among the soldiers in the Imperial Capital. Although they were knocked back, they quickly regained their power. The three rows of long spears also formally revealed their power. , All the Clay cavalry who hit the upper battlefield were pierced even with men and horses.

More Clay cavalry rushed up again. All they could do was hit the line of defense of the Jonas Legion, and then let the sharp spears take their lives, and their bodies fell weakly on the ground. On the ground, their blood stained the ground beneath them.

"Hold up! Hold on! Hard! Hard!" Jonas only felt that his throat was hoarse, but he still yelled as hard as he could. This was not just giving orders, but also the morale of fierce moves.The earth was shaking constantly, and countless Clay cavalrymen screamed like waves. They clamored and shouted, and slammed into the phalanx of the Jonas Legion, making a roar of cracking and cracking. After retreating, the Jonas infantry phalanx, which looked like a rock, remained motionless.

The Clay cavalry, who were threatened by the supervising team behind them, had no retreat. Their only choice was to charge, or die in battle, or rush away from the camp of the expeditionary army. What the defending Jonas Legion had to do was to hold on. The 30,000 soldiers actually blocked the enemy ten times their own, and did not take a step back.

Just when everyone's attention was focused on this small square, a loud shout broke the howl of the waves: "Honor is my life!"

"Glory!" The leader of the 5000 holy knights who followed them also shouted in unison, 5000 guns made of gold were raised high, and dense steel forests suddenly appeared in the flat ground.While Jonas stood firm, Orlando had already rushed out from the side of the camp with the Royal Knights in full draping, and they even had plenty of time to adjust their formation.
