Aslan counterattacked twice in a row, defeating the morale of the coalition forces. If it were not for the old knight Thor to stabilize the situation, the lord coalition army would have been defeated.
The little old man in the woods said lightly.
"According to the plan, Lord Merlot will win this battle, but at the price it will cost."
Gareth seemed to respect the old man in front of him very much, but he still couldn't see where Lord Merlot's chances of winning were.
"Master Merlin! I still don't understand."
The dwarf old man is the prophet of the dwarf clan in Changfeng Plain, and the strength of the Great Sorcerer is also the strongest combat power in Changfeng Plain.
"Morale! The morale of the coalition army has dropped to freezing point. On the other hand, the morale of the Merlot army is at its peak. With the belief trend of protecting the homeland, the Merlot army can exert 200% of the combat effectiveness. If Lord Merlot If you dare to take the opportunity to attack, you are 90% sure to defeat the coalition forces and end this war. If Lord Merlot is afraid of casualties, when the coalition forces recover, the Merlot area will be plunged into the quagmire of the war."
The others nodded solemnly. They very much hope that Lord Merlot and the Lord of the Billy area will be caught in the quagmire of war, so that they will not have time to take care of their Changfeng Plain.
It's a pity that their ideas are always just extravagant hopes. Aslan will never allow the Merlot region to be drawn into the quagmire of war. He also plans to use the foresight advantage to vigorously develop the Merlot region in preparation for the future unification of the Kingdom of Cleveland.
Now that he was born again, his natural vision and goals were naturally higher.
He wants to become the supreme king of the Cleveland Kingdom, and then use this as a starting point to complete the great cause that was not completed in the previous life.
"The whole army is advancing slowly!" Aslan handed the corpse of the knight to a few soldiers, drove his horse back to the front, and decisively issued an order.
The crossbowmen moved slowly, so the soldiers had already set up the Merlot crossbow, holding a crossbow arrow in the other hand, and prepared to re-set the arrow while the crossbow arrow was shot, so as to maximize the speed.
Their daily training is to shoot ten crossbow arrows in one minute.
The biggest improvement of the Merlot Crossbow is that it is equipped with a pulley, and the attack speed is greatly improved. Compared with the predecessor, the Rhubarb Crossbow is not only much better.
The Merlot army began to advance, causing a commotion in the coalition forces, forcing Thor to behead nearly a hundred people in a row before reluctantly stabilizing the formation, but the formation was at a slow retreat speed.
The formation of the two sides retreated one after the other, grinding a full distance of more than 50 meters. Watching Meilihe continue to play offensive banners, Thor cursed secretly in his heart, raised the knight sword in his hand, and shouted loudly.
"The whole army charge! As long as you win this battle, all the slave soldiers will be free, not only you, but also the wives and children are no longer slaves, but the people under the rule of the lord, enjoying all the treatment of free people."
Thor rode a war horse and ran to the other side of the army, where the soldiers were better equipped and more powerful, and the total number was only one-third of the slave soldiers.
"On the day of defeating Lord Merlot and breaking Merlot town, you are allowed to indulge for three days. The gold coins you grab are yours, and the women you grab are also yours. As long as you can grab your hands, they will all be yours."
The slave soldier is boiling, and freedom is what he has dreamed of all his life.
Freedmen's soldiers also cheered. Their purpose in participating in the war was not to be loyal to the lord, but to come rushing for gold coins and women.
Aslan heard Thor's declaration of war, smiled coldly, and shouted.
"Have you all heard it?"
"I heard it!" All the officers and soldiers of the Merlot army shouted in unison, their neat and murderous voices were like alarm bells, beating the hearts of allied soldiers.
They heard such a deafening sound for the first time.
"Then what should we do?" Aslan raised his spear and shouted.
"Kill them all!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Many of the coalition soldiers who were still in a frenetic state couldn't help calming down under this scorching killing intent.
The Merlot army began to advance.
Many soldiers of the coalition army have also begun to advance, and their desire for victory has completely lost their fear of death.
咻咻...
The Merlot crossbowmen began to shoot arrows, retreated after shooting, wound up and set the arrows, and stepped forward again to shoot arrows.
Simple and mechanized action.
The coalition soldiers fell down like cutting wheat, but the slave soldiers behind still rushed up frantically shouting.
At a distance of 350 meters, facing the charging coalition soldiers, it only took more than forty seconds.
At this time, each crossbowman can shoot seven arrows. This is definitely a long time to play.
"The crossbowmen retreat! Line up."
Arthur estimated the distance, and there were still fifty meters. Every three of the crossbowmen quickly lined up in order to retreat. The vacated position was placed on top of the elite infantry. They layered their shields on top of each other, like a shield wall standing in front of them. .
The spear infantry in the rear also quickly filled up their positions, piercing the spears from the gap between the shields, making the original shield wall as terrifying as a hedgehog.
The distance between the two sides was only ten meters, and Aslan stood behind the shield wall and shouted.
"Stay steady!"
Bang!
With a loud noise, a soldier hit the shield wall with his body. Although he was quickly stabbed into a hedgehog, more and more coalition forces ran into the shield wall frantically, causing the shield wall to shake.
Long spears and long swords were constantly waving between the gaps in the shield wall, blood was constantly splashing, and the number advantage was slowly revealed at this moment, actually pushing the shield wall slowly back.
Aslan waved his hand, and the crossbowmen who had withdrawn began to open another quiver, which contained another kind of arrow.
The arrow is larger than the ordinary arrow, and the shape has a slight corner, with barbs and blood grooves on it. The armor-piercing ability is weak, but the lethality is extremely strong. Once a person is shot, they will lose the ability to fight. And because the corner on the arrow will form a reaction force in the air, the arrow will tilt downward.
Referred to as the falling arrow.
The crossbowmen were one hundred and fifty meters away from the front battlefield. At Gawain’s order, dense arrows shot out of the air. As the arrow’s reaction force and kinetic energy were exhausted, the crossbow arrows drew an arc and fell. In the coalition positions.
Altria, who had been watching the battle silently, stood up abruptly, with an incredible face.
"What arrow is this?"
Shouting and killing, Aslan took a deep breath, and unexpectedly shouted with a spear: "The knight and the guard are rushing with me."
Less than twenty knights and two hundred guards walked out of the battlefield and killed the enemy's left wing. As for the right wing, they were constantly consumed by the crossbowmen.
As soon as Aslan's spear stabbed, a slave soldier was jumped into the air. With a horizontal spear, it directly hit the head of a slave soldier who was going to move forward, splashing blood.
Bose was guarding Aslan to death, his crescent halberd danced vigorously.
