Chapter 665 An Unexpected Strong Enemy (Part 1)

In the process of galloping horses, when the soldiers of the Second Prince's former army and the left wing saw clearly that their opponents were heavy cavalry wrapped up like canned food and could not find any flaws at all, they couldn't help but panic. They all swallowed a mouthful of spit.

They are just ordinary light cavalry, and the war horses under their crotch are just the most common plain horses.

However, the horses of the heavy cavalry are mostly stronger snowfield horses, which come from the northern border of the kingdom, and the price difference between the two is at least five times.

Furthermore, the ordinary light armor on them is not comparable to the thick heavy armor of their opponents, and the cost is also very different.

In the end, the heavy cavalry were selected from the most elite cavalry, and they had extremely strict requirements in terms of equestrianism, physique, and strength... None of these were obviously unmatched by them.

As for the assault cavalry following the heavy cavalry, they are capable of a battle, but the opponent's use is obviously a frontal attack, and a small number of heavy cavalry is concentrated at the arrow position.

Once the soldiers meet, they will undoubtedly tear up their own charge formation in the first place.

Thinking of this, the commanders of the Second Prince's former army and the left wing all coincided with each other and made a wise decision.

That is to use the high mobility of the light cavalry to quickly change the charge formation, from the protruding frontal formation in the middle to the protruding and hollow double frontal formation on both sides, so as to avoid the raging heavy cavalry of the prince. Deal with the assault cavalry on both sides of the opponent.

After all, the opponent's strength is at most 5,000, the heavy cavalry has only 2,000, and the own side has 7,000 left. As long as the 3,000 assault cavalry are eliminated first, at least some of the losses caused by the right wing can be made up for.

As for the heavy cavalry, leave it to the follow-up allies.

In this way, under the leadership of the chess players holding battle flags at the front, the 7,000 light cavalry of the second prince quickly changed into two fronts and lost their battle, and rushed straight to the heavy cavalry and assault cavalry that the eldest prince was attacking.

I saw a well-polished lance pointing directly at the cavalry camp of the eldest prince, and a monstrous killing intent formed immediately vibrated in the air.

"The charging formation changed quite quickly. It seems that the second prince's cavalry are by no means ordinary."

On the top of the mountain, Burt's old face showed a hint of approval, and he said: "This kind of style of avoiding reality and attacking weakness, picking up soft persimmons, can often reap considerable results."

"That's true."

The crisp orange voice also rang out: "If the heavy cavalry of the first prince confronts the heavy cavalry head-on, the light cavalry of the second prince will undoubtedly suffer greater casualties. It is also an excellent opportunity to recover the loss of the right wing."

"It's a bit interesting. It seems that in addition to the early strategizing, the on-the-spot response of the commanders is also extremely important."

Lei Xiao stared at the ever-changing battlefield below, and nodded thoughtfully.

For Lei Xiao, watching the battle like this is obviously an excellent learning opportunity.

Only in this immersive situation can we better understand the judgments of the commanders on both sides of the war and accumulate their own battlefield experience as soon as possible.

"You know, this kind of duel between pure cavalry and cavalry is not common."

"After all, on the vast majority of battlefields, the cavalry deployed on the two wings of the infantry is only used as a quick and round tactical maneuvering force to attack the opponent's most vulnerable flanks and rear, while the real main force on the battlefield is still the huge infantry group."

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao's gaze became even hotter.

The battlefield below the mountain was full of wind and sand, and the sound of galloping horseshoes was still heard.

It didn't take long, the 7,000 light cavalry that the second prince advanced with double fronts, and the 5,000 heavy cavalry and assault cavalry that the eldest prince left with ordinary fronts, were like two sharp swords facing each other fiercely. Collided together!

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

Accompanied by a series of continuous intense muffled sounds.

The neighing of war horses intertwined with the screams of cavalry, and the aroused dust and **** mist danced together. The scene can be described as extremely shocking.

I saw that on the trembling ground, except for the cavalry whose horses' heads collided fiercely.

Many cavalrymen were hit by the slender cavalry spears stabbed by their opponents, or were directly picked off their horses, or directly penetrated by the extremely sharp spear points.

As a result, even the most perceptive knotweed and red night beside him didn't notice anything, which was a normal thing.

"However, after all, this is a combination of many complicated factors. If the distance is slightly increased, or under normal circumstances, with the keen perception ability of Knotweed and Hongye, it is still easy to find the clue. After all, this illusionist No matter how powerful the master is, he still hasn't reached the fifth level."

Slightly relieved, a trace of solemnity appeared on Lei Xiao's face again.

Even so, having a powerful illusionist hidden in one of the opponent's camps is a very tricky thing after all.

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

The eldest prince's powerful cavalry had already completely penetrated the opponent's formation.

Because there is already some distance from the Chinese army.

Therefore, those invincible "Assault Cavalry" had a wave of colorful magic ripples similar to water ripples.

Immediately afterwards, what appeared in front of everyone was a heavy cavalry in heavy armor, even the horses under the crotch were tightly wrapped in horse armor!

I saw that the armors of these heavy cavalrymen were all stained with the opponent's blood. The lances in the hands of many of them had been thrown away because they pierced through the opponents one after another, and they drew out the heavy swords around their waists instead.

However, the "heavy cavalry" who were deployed in the middle position and hardly suffered any damage showed their original appearance as assault cavalry.

"Is it really the effect of illusion?"

Looking at this miraculous transformation scene on the battlefield, Bert was amazed and murmured: "It seems that the white knight obviously predicted the opponent's judgment, and that's why he will be cast in advance. Infantry, deployed on both sides of the team."

"Things are really getting more and more interesting. The second prince's cavalry didn't pick up a persimmon, but became a persimmon himself."

Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath of the increasingly **** air, and refocused his increasingly fiery eyes on the battlefield below.

I saw the heavy cavalry who had penetrated the opponent and the assault cavalry who were almost uninjured turned their horses around one after another, shouted the battle cry of charging, and launched a wave of attack at the confused second prince's front army and the light cavalry on the left. The second round of charge was launched.

On the other side of the battlefield, the second prince's right-wing cavalry who were stopped by the swamp were almost wiped out under the onslaught of the first prince's left and right cavalry.

So far, the situation on the battlefield has become very clear.

Although at the beginning of the battle, the Second Prince's forces took the lead and gained a considerable advantage.

But after the white knight's swamp and vision, after two successive methods.

The second prince's 10,000 light cavalry, who were going to take advantage of the situation to attack the opponent, have now become Frost sheep waiting to be slaughtered. The distance is completely wiped out, leaving only a matter of time.

Looking at the center of the battlefield, the chaotic Second Prince's cavalry team and the crooked corpses everywhere, Lei Xiao took a deep breath.

Fortunately, this is the strength of the opponent. If the soldiers under his command suffer such heavy losses, the hope of victory will become even more slim.

"Being able to force both sides to use these hole cards is undoubtedly a lucky thing for me. Otherwise, the fallen ones are really likely to be soldiers under my command."

Looking at the tragic scene of the two noble forces fighting under the mountain, Lei Xiao fell into deep thought again: "Now the scale of victory has completely tilted to the side of the eldest prince led by the white knight."

"And the second prince's forces led by the mysterious ~ still have 10,000 cavalry and the remnants of the camp. If they retreat here, the remnants of the camp and the light cavalry trapped in the quagmire will inevitably die. Annihilated by the White Knight."

"It's not hard to see from this that the mysterious commander in command of the Second Prince's forces, although he has suffered a lot, will definitely counterattack, right?"

A hint of curiosity appeared in Lei Xiao's eyes, and he said leisurely, "I don't know what cards the second prince's mysterious commander can show? It really makes people look forward to it."

At this moment, Lei Xiao understood clearly.

Just as I thought, the more the two consume each other, the more beneficial it will be for me.

And the more the cards of the two are exposed, it is also a dream for me.

"Then let me see what the second prince's mysterious commander will do under such a disadvantage."

Lei Xiao squinted his eyes, staring at the increasingly fierce battlefield down the mountain.
