Chapter 230 Firefly

The number of personal guards who have been with Rudolph is not many, and there may not be 500 people at all times. They have horses and better mounts for fast maneuvering. The people under them are either confronting the enemy on the front line, or were killed The intensive attack exploded, and the organization could not be restored in a short time. Naturally, Rudolph could not take everyone to retreat at this time. In fact, he had no such plan.

Almost at the same time when he retreated with his personal guards and a few high-level officials, the merchants who chose to follow him also noticed the situation, and their troops dispersed almost at the same time, and quickly retreated outside the battlefield.

Maybe their combat ability and military literacy are lacklustre, but they still have a lot of experience in standing in line. If the situation is not good, they will never die or retreat.

Most of the Rudolph fighters who retreated from various positions on the battlefield or barely retreated in an orderly manner successfully withdrew from the battlefield under the orders of their respective leaders, but some people made an "unexpected" choice-they went directly to where Norton was The central command phalanx, after a brief handover, reorganization and re-equipment, transformed into Norton's fighting force.

It seems that there should be a secret discussion before, and Julia or someone else gave them a suitable price, so that they can defect at the right time, which can be regarded as supplementing Norton's troops to a certain extent.

Of course, the grass on the wall will never be reliable, and it's okay to wave the flag to cheer, but it still lacks a lot to let them fight.

The coalition army has this kind of problem. Private soldiers from all over the world gather together. In terms of the quality of the soldiers and the level of equipment, everyone's fighters are very good, but they all cherish their feathers and will not fight big losses.

Kane's army pursued the retreating Rudolph's army at the beginning, but because of the Norton's army in other directions on the battlefield, they were very restrained, and they stopped going deep after a short distance, and instead quickly aimed their formation at Norton's side.

The situation on the battlefield is clear, the weakest has been eliminated, and only Kane and Norton are left to face each other.

Kane has an absolute advantage in conventional combat power, and the soldiers' morale and desire to fight are still high. However, the appearance of those mages makes them not have an advantage in high-end combat power. It's hard to say how.

The choice before Kane is to preserve his strength and fight another day or defeat the enemy in one go. Kane, who can get reinforcements from more places, tends to the latter, but the enemy did not give him this opportunity at all.

After regrouping the heavy cavalry of the Guards, he directly led people to launch an assault on the relatively weak left flank, trying to penetrate Kane's defense line.At the same time, except for a few reserve teams with only a few hundred people, all the troops that could be mobilized were ordered to press forward and hold back the soldiers returning to the enemy's position, trying to cut off Kane's position at once. .

The battle of the vultures in the sky is coming to an end. Generally speaking, Kane has a considerable advantage, but this advantage cannot directly kill Norton's soldiers.

The reason is simple: I don't know what price Norton and Julia paid to make the green dragon explode with professional ethics that is inconsistent with the race. He was seriously injured and couldn't get out of the line of fire. He was still flying at high speed in the sky to intercept those vultures that were trying to attack the ground.

At the same time, the anti-air weapons developed by the dwarves in the golden age also played a role. Weapons like harpoons and net guns were placed among the soldiers, ready to fire at any time, and there were many elf rangers with superb shooting skills on standby, Kane's vulture has difficulty dropping rocks from low altitudes, and the accuracy of throwing high altitudes is also impressive.

Kane's most important mobility was restricted, but it was not without progress. When the spellcasters were preparing for the next round of range attacks, someone else stopped them—Kane had enough high-level fighters to block those At the same time, mages can also allocate a part to support the front line. Although their spellcasters are at a disadvantage in terms of quantity and quality, this does not affect their formation of a balance of power.

Tang Zhao was seriously injured. The venom on the giant's weapon made it difficult for him to maintain high-intensity activities. He also didn't have the ability to command tens of thousands of people with precision, so he simply mixed in with the ordinary soldiers and began to wait for the opportunity.

Occasionally using psychic power and lightning to kill several officers blocking the way, Tang Zhao's efficiency in finding suitable opponents to behead on the battlefield is not low.

It didn't take long before Tang Zhao observed that a few horse vultures successfully broke through Kane's defense line, swooped down from the sky and crashed into Kane's position, and then there were flames rising into the sky, which made Tang Zhao took a slight breath.

Tang Zhao knew what it was. There was a high probability that it was some kind of alchemy bomb. A large number of them were placed on the vultures. Let the riders carry these things to carry out suicide attacks. The advantage is that they are not easy to be intercepted, and they are quite accurate.

The disadvantages are also obvious: a qualified vulture and supporting equipment are expensive, but the cost of training a qualified vulture rider is even higher, and there is a high probability that it will be a second-level or even third-level fighter and spellcaster.

It would definitely be a blood loss to use this kind of fighter as cannon fodder consumables, but Norton has his own plan.

The command centers of ancient military units were often very conspicuous, and the ornate decoration could stabilize the morale of the army. Looking down from the sky, Kane's location was quite obvious and easy to locate. It was obvious that he didn't want to take any concealment measures, but instead wanted to People around them declare their presence.

After the flames exploded, the opponent's command system was instantly paralyzed. Although we don't know what happened to Kane and the main nobles under him, it is likely that they temporarily lost the ability to command operations.

Taking this opportunity, Norton ordered the entire reserve team to attack the weakest enemy troops. For a while, the sounds of artillery, magic chants, shouts of killing, and galloping horses were mixed together. Soldiers who were fighting and were killed were everywhere. corpse.

At this time, if someone on Kane's side can react quickly and draw out some troops that still have spare capacity in other places to assist in the defense, Norton's tactics may not be successful, but unfortunately there is no if, most of the troops on the front line All the nobles wanted was to solve and counterattack the enemy in front of them, instead of paying attention to the situation on the friendly side.

During this period of command failure, Norton managed to cut off Kane's army from the flank, and they began to attack with great advantage.

After the intact formation was cut off, Kane lost the ability to confront Norton head-on. Coupled with the failure of command, Kane's side soon began to collapse.

This time Norton showed no mercy, and directly ordered his soldiers to pursue regardless of casualties, and at the same time let the elite troops surround Kane's central army.

They also suffered a lot this time. The key is that they can’t recruit a large number of soldiers from the fief like Kane, so they can only do their best in one battle. If they don’t capture or kill Kane and others alive this time, they will be able to make a comeback soon.

After all, the Chinese army is the most elite army, still has combat effectiveness and quickly built a simple line of defense, the two sides once again started a brutal hand-to-hand combat, but everyone can see that the other side is already fighting a cornered beast.
