Chapter 652

In this battle, both sides put in large-scale troops. The human coalition sent 200000 elite cavalry. If we don't consider the militia and retired veterans, so many people are close to the sum of the cavalry of the Three Kingdoms. More than 60000 Centaur soldiers also account for one-third of the adult males of Sidon Khanate.

Both sides can't afford to lose, and the process of fighting can only be regarded as a test.

The soldiers of the Sassanian Empire mastered the strengths and weaknesses of the Centaur and invented the tortoise shell knife array. Centaurs also understand human strengths and weaknesses. Human armored knights and alienated warbeasts are extremely powerful. All centaurs who don't know how to avoid them die. Experienced Centaur soldiers know how to deal with the assault of human giants.

The charge of human cavalry can never be turned temporarily. The Centaur does not have this problem. Horses don't run sideways, centaurs can. They can not only traverse and jump in the process of running, but also buckle the ground with their front claws and make a 180 degree tail swing and turn around.

The Golden Knight led the team to attack the Centaur cluster, with great momentum and few gains. The Centaur avoided the edge of knights and alienated warbeasts. It didn't lose much, but it didn't get anything cheap.

According to the past war practice, the heavy cavalry accompanying the knights were the first to destroy the Centaurs. This time, the Centaurs were patient and did not eat the hard shell and thorny bait. They chose to endure the disadvantages brought by the tortoise shell knife array, feigned to attack the human cavalry in the west, then played a beautiful mobile transfer and fled from the gap in the south.

If the Centaur is entangled with the tortoise armor sword array composed of heavy armor cavalry, it will evolve into a life and death battle.

Afterwards, the garrison of log city went out of the city to clean the battlefield. After statistics, it was found that the animal Knights of World War IV were almost intact; 4677 heavy armored cavalry were killed and injured, of which 1803 were killed on the spot. Most of the other wounded heavy armored cavalry were rescued by the priest, but the human coalition lost more than 6000 horses, which means that more than 6000 cavalry temporarily withdrew from the battle sequence.

The Centaur left more than 2300 companions. Even those who were not dead at that time were mended one by one by the garrison.

The ratio of war damage of both sides is 2:1.

Considering the difference between centaurs and humans in weight, food intake, growth cycle, population number and individual strength, the human cavalry's 3:1 battle loss ratio can be regarded as a small victory, and the 2:1 battle loss is worth the Lord's celebration banquet.

The garrison soldiers also found that 645 seriously injured centaurs were stabbed in the ass and straight into the abdominal cavity. All the wounds were caused by a fine iron machete of the same style, and all the cavalry using these machetes came from the kingdom of Gambis.

They were wearing dark red leather armor, a total of 381 people, all of whom had been killed in battle. But in the short battle, they killed at least 645 Centaur soldiers, and each gained an average of 2 Centaur soldiers.

The Sassanian cavalry are one out of ten elite. If it is a close combat, it is not difficult for them to kill the Centaur one-on-one. The best can even deal with two or three centaurs. However, in large-scale cluster combat, the Centaur is unmatched, and the overall combat effectiveness is as far away as the human cavalry.

It often takes five times the number of centaurs to win a sure battle. No one knows better than them how great it is for red armour soldiers to fight 1-2 when they are enemies on all sides.

The person in charge of collecting the remains of his comrades in arms has a better understanding of the red armor soldiers. The battle they experienced was extremely fierce. While giving the Centaur heavy damage, they were also completely destroyed. Everyone was shot into a sieve, and some people were torn in two by the ferocious Centaur, but there was no fear, anger and pain on their faces, only solidified indifference and calm. Hundreds of red armour soldiers have the same expression, which makes people respect and shudder.

Are their will made of steel?

The two silver Knights of gangbis Kingdom personally took over the remains of the red armor soldiers. When the priest finished the Requiem prayer, he insisted on cremation of the victims of gangbis Kingdom and supervised them on the site. They didn't leave the site until the cremation was over, the ashes were collected and confirmed that there was no omission.

The unusual actions of the two extraordinary Knights attracted the extra attention of those who wanted to. Various speculations about the red armor soldiers stirred up an undercurrent among the major forces.

His highness and pastor Kent of log City knew nothing about these undercurrents. The battle to destroy the main force of Sidon Centaur had just begun. They were still busy.

The collective transfer of more than 60000 soldiers from the North battalion to the south is fully in line with the first phase of the military action plan formulated by the human coalition. However, the commander pastor Kent must be wary of the North Camp centaurs circling to the East. Once they return to the hinterland of the Sidon khanate, it will be difficult for the human coalition to encircle and suppress them.

Physical competition has become the key to the victory of both sides.

The endurance of war horses is far less than that of omnivorous centaurs, but the Centaurs in Beiying haven't had a full meal recently. How far can they run?

The 200000 cavalry of log City fed refined feed with crude sugar to the horses and stopped fifteen miles behind the Centaur army. The eagle lion knights, the moon bear knights, the fast Dragon Knights, the iron wall knights and the 1500 horned wolf paladins are close to the left wing (East Side) of the Centaur army.

If the Beiying centaurs choose to turn around and run east at this time, they will be cut off by the powerful beast knight, and the whole rear team will be devastated. When the human army eats the rear team of the Centaur, the Centaur of the front team may also be chased to death by the human knight.

If there is no Centaur camp in the south, these centaurs may choose to survive by breaking their tails and scattering as soon as they can run away. However, the South Camp of the Centaur is ahead, and the leaders of the North Camp Centaur can't make up their mind to abandon their peers.

The logistics problem of the Centaur is undoubtedly prominent at this moment.

In fact, the Sidon Centaur has a fleeting victory. The Centaur of Nanying takes the initiative to attack. Together with the Centaur of Beiying, they defeat the pursuers of log City, then turn eastward and return to the tribal territory. They can escape from Shengtian.

However, the Sidon Centaur lacks a big Khan to make decisions, and the human coalition has long been prepared for it.

The main cavalry of Guangming city and Crystal City, led by the shining knights and the temple army, confronted each other with the Nanying Centaur and made an attack posture of two sides, forcing the leader of the Nanying Centaur not to act rashly.

Finally, the exhausted Beiying Centaur rushed into NANDA camp, and the human 280000 cavalry, 50000 Temple army and the six Knights also joined forces smoothly.

Pastor Kent and Emperor Frederick met outside the city of light, and both sides immediately made arrangements according to the original plan.

150000 elite cavalry, Eagle lion knights, moon bear knights, iron wall knights and fast Dragon Knights were commanded by the Duke of Barcelona and deployed on the east side of the Centaur camp. The supply convoys of the Sassanian Empire continuously transported materials to the positions. The soldiers arranged small crossbows, stone throwers and horses overnight, dug pits and sprinkled spikes, ready to defend the temporary defense line.

The most powerful shining Knights led the temple army, the blood wolf Knights of Frederick family and 130000 cavalry arrived at the Centaur Beida camp from north and south respectively, ready to attack.

The battle will not start immediately. The Centaur of Beiying ran 300 kilometers. It was hungry and tired. It needed time to eat and rest. The cavalry in log city were also tired. Human soldiers are easy to fill their stomachs and have sufficient supplies; Centaurs eat a lot and lack supplies. The longer it takes, the better it will be for the human army. It's best to let them starve for a few days before fighting.

In fact, the Centaurs of the north and South camps converge, and the number of 180000 monsters is a little large. Pastor Kent and Emperor Frederick hope that the main force of the war zone of boulder fortress will enter the hinterland of Sidon Khanate and start war again. However, Goblin slaves stopped supplying the Beiying Centaur, resulting in the withdrawal of the Beiying Centaur 30 days in advance. In order to prevent more than 100000 and a half people from recklessly breaking through to the East, pastor Kent prepared two escape routes for them.

One is in the southeast corner of the encirclement circle, pointing to the boulder mountains. The gap is relatively narrow, and there will not be too many centaurs at one time. The Centaur army could only escape from this passage in batches. When the number of centaurs in Nanying falls below 150000, the human coalition can launch a general attack on nandaying.

The other channel is in the west, leading to the eastern development of the Sassanian empire. There are already solid walls and clear fields. Centaurs can't find much food when they run in. They will only bump into the indestructible Eastern defense line, and the human coalition forces can close the door and kill the horses.

After finishing the work at hand, Emperor Frederick took the time to summon his successor.

"Well done, Zig." Emperor Sasan patted his son on the shoulder and said with appreciation, "you didn't let the blood wolf flag fall behind."

Siegfried bowed slightly and said in shame, "father, grandfather and uncle arranged me behind. I couldn't kill even a centaur..."

"It doesn't matter."

Emperor Sasan interrupted Zig's words, looked at the Centaur camp in the distance and said: "Frederick's ancestors followed the shining Knights against the orc invaders. Every war, they shed blood and won the favor of the TESL family. The golden female paladins of the first Paladin family gave up the favor of the Supreme Lord and became partners with the ancestors' children. They jointly founded the blood wolf family. Although we inherited the oldest blood of the TESL, the style of the blood wolf family No change. However, the former blood wolf family is now the blood wolf royal family. "

"Have you ever seen the wolf king hunting alone?"

"Moreover, there is only one wolf king..." Frederick turned his head and said with a smile: "I am the emperor of sassanne, the king of the blood wolf, not you."

Ziggy still wanted to argue. Frederick waved his hand and said, "child, you have fulfilled the responsibility of the crown prince by going out with the army. I'll take over the next war."

"Father, I'll stay here at your disposal." Zig took advantage of the situation.

Frederick looked at his son and said with a meaningful smile, "there is really something you need to do."

Ziggy felt bad at once, and still said respectfully, "you tell me."

Surrounded by the royal guards of sassanne, Frederick looked around and whispered: "I have received news that during the first World War of log City, the red armor cavalry of Gambis performed surprisingly, and their strength is far superior to that of ordinary secret guards and trainee knights. I believe that the kingdom of Gambis has made a major breakthrough in cultivating secret guards. This is in line with the national conditions of Gambis. They are located in the southern corner and lack the support of the shining knights and temple army. Since they want to deal with the ant tide, they still need to Preparing to cross the river and expand to the South and develop secret Dharma guards is the first choice for the kingdom of Gambis. In fact, both the basselius family and the Friedrich family are secretly studying the training methods of secret Dharma guards. I believe Borui and Susi have the same plans. "

"Our Frederick family and the kingdom of Dodo are supported by the Knights of glory and the Templars respectively, and lag behind other forces in the aspect of secret law guards."

"The main force on the battlefield is always the largest number of ordinary soldiers. The heavy armor cavalry accompanying the high-level knights is actually a bait to protect the Knights. Without the protection of these brave soldiers, it is difficult for the Golden Knights to penetrate the orc cluster, and most of them will be drowned by monsters. The red armor soldiers of Gambis show us another possibility... Comparable to the shining knights and the temple army As long as our secret guards can reach the level of red armor warriors and keep up with high-level knights and alienated warbeasts. "

Ziggy thought for a moment and replied in a low volume: "father, it will cost at least 3000 gold sol to cultivate a secret law guard. If the secret law guard wants to reach the level of a red armor warrior, it may cost more gold coins. Maybe he has higher requirements for candidates."

Emperor Sasan nodded and said, "the strength of the knight lies in the perfect balance. The heroic magic of the paladin can integrate its own strength and agility. Therefore, the Dragon potion and reshaping the body of the church are also imitating the perfect balance of the knight, but it is not suitable for the secret law Guardian of the Lord's family."

"The secret law guards can choose extreme, powerful or outstanding agility... As long as they can meet the improvement of combat effectiveness, the lower the training cost, the better. The Gambis can dispatch more than 300 red armor warriors at a time. They obviously found the right way."

"I want you back to Fort Duncan now." Emperor Sasan said faintly.

Siegfried hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly, "father, i... I will marry the noble daughter of the paladin family in the future... The count of golden eyes seems to regard Princess Auguste as his future partner, and it's no use for me to please Roland for such an important thing?"

Frederick was stunned and asked jokingly, "if it works, do you not hesitate to offend the count of golden eyes and would rather give up the right of inheritance than pursue his highness Roland Auguste?"

The emperor's eyes were cold and fierce. Qi Ge was awe inspiring and said in a solemn voice, "father, I know I'm wrong."

Frederick nodded slightly and said: "Gillian chebman is the only lover of his highness Randall. He even withstood the pressure exerted by Queen rose and kite castle and allowed miss chebman to stay in his family instead of joining the people and horses hill as his partner. Miss chebman is responsible for the logistics support of the main assistance force in Gambis. You should try to meet her reasonable requirements and don't let the Quartermaster deliberately make trouble for her. ”

This is to instruct the quartermaster to deliberately create difficulties first, and then come forward to solve the problem for miss chebman. Zig understood, but he didn't think so.

The cultivation method of secret Dharma guards is so valuable. What's the use of a trick to please his highness Randall? Father doesn't want to take me away yet.

Emperor Frederick, knowing what his son was thinking, said: "If the method of cultivating secret Dharma guards in Gambis Kingdom has been successful, even if I come forward in person and negotiate with his highness Randall, it is useless. But those red armor warriors are failed secret Dharma guards. Although they are brave and fearless, they don't know how to protect themselves. No matter how low the training cost of such secret Dharma dead men is, the kingdom can't afford to consume them."

"There are also centaurs in the southern continent. The Gambis have tested the weaknesses of red armor soldiers through this battle. They need to improve their training methods, so we have room to cooperate with the Gambis kingdom."

"If you don't go to Fort Duncan, I'll let Freya go." Said Frederick faintly.

Freya Frederick is Zig's half sister and the future Archduke of the Sassanian empire. Freya is strong and ambitious. If she mastered the method of cultivating secret law guards, she would never give it to her brother, even if Zig ascended the throne in the future.

Ziggy said decisively, "father, please make sure you give it to me. I'm going to Duncan fortress."

*******************

The alchemists fighting in log city are all over five years old. They look no different from normal people, but they are still obedient alchemists in their bones.

Victor asked them to find a suitable opportunity to rebuild the tower. On the one hand, Victor now has sufficient funds and can fully afford the upgrading of alchemy humans; on the other hand, these alchemy humans have learned many new technologies and can enrich the technical reserves of No. 7 alchemy tower through memory upload.

Victor never expected that the alchemists who seemed to have normal emotional intelligence returned in a group and died in a battle. Their "wonderful" performance fell into the eyes of major forces, triggered competition among kingdoms for the cultivation of secret law guards, and even changed the direction of the future to a certain extent.

Randall, thousands of miles away, didn't know about it. He was in no small trouble.

The stormy Paladin strange testier, who was in charge of investigating the goblin Lord, and his entourage were not at the scheduled location.

... they're missing.
