Blood Dragon

Chapter 350 Eighth Decisive Battle 2

Beler immediately sent out the brigade of halberd infantry, and crossed the river to line up on the opposite side when the enemy retreated to prepare for the offensive.He ordered them to fight to the death, and at the same time he mobilized in the rear all the cavalry he could muster, and concentrated the cavalry in a position where they could easily ford across the river.

Subsequently, the Chaos Legion gave up crossing the river, and instead wanted to destroy the small army that protruded first.By the time they had targeted the cohort of infantry, Belleur had formed a column of cavalry and charged across the flank.The cavalry and the halberd infantry attacked back and forth, knocking out the three thousand Chaos warriors who rushed forward.By the time the scattered Chaos legions regrouped behind their retreating companions, they had lost over 1000 men in the engagement.

It's a classic fight, but it doesn't change anything.It took only a moment for the Chaos Legion to realize their mistake.The entire army was on the front line, and Belleur could only let the cavalry and infantry sent across the river retreat.

The magicians of the two armies have begun to fight.Ashuruffat once planned to use a large number of magic-breaking scrolls to completely eliminate the magical combat power of both sides, but now *top*point* novel this plan is useless.Because the battlefield is too large, it is meaningless to disturb the wind of magic in a certain area. It is just to let the Chaos wizards move to an unaffected place to continue working.

The outcome of the magic battle was overwhelmingly unfavorable.None of the church's priests were able to successfully use magic, and the Chaos army threw multiple fireballs and lightning bolts on the enemy's head in succession.Belair's troops were pushed back a little.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Chaos Legion began to forcibly cross the river.Instead of crossing the river from the selected crossing point, you jump into the stream and wade across the river.As mentioned earlier, the stream water is only about the height of a person's chest and cannot pose a fatal threat.

But going down the river is easy, but going up the river is difficult.The banks were steep and muddy, and Chaos warriors in heavy armor couldn't climb up for a while.

At this time, Belair mobilized all the troops using spears and halberds in his hand, and ordered to drive the enemy back at any cost.They attacked with spears and halberds, taking advantage of the brief moment when the Chaos army could not come ashore, turning the battle into a one-sided slaughter.Once again the Chaos legions were driven back.

But immediately, the army of Chaos attacked again, and the two sides fought along the stream, again and again.In the end, Baylor had to give up this line of defense because he was outnumbered.

The corpses of the Chaos Warriors who died in the river ditch were piled one on top of the other, and the blood dyed the river red.Those who fell and were unable to rise were drowned, and the battle left few wounded.

The Chaos Legion paid a heavy price, but after all, they captured the strongest line of defense in Belair.They began to rush across the river in large numbers, preparing for the next round of offensive.Because of their superior strength, they formed a crescent formation to outflank the enemy's flanks.

Now, Belair has no terrain to rely on and must engage the superior enemy in a face-to-face situation.

At this moment, Barranca in the center realized that his flank was being outflanked.Although his strength is also stretched, he still sent a powerful cavalry to support Belle.

Belleur formed a large square formation centered on the halberd soldiers who had just undergone a fierce battle.He placed several less tired troops on the two wings, also forming a crescent formation, and began to attack the enemy.Of these two troops, one was excited because of the victory in capturing the enemy's defense just now, and the other was recovering from fatigue after a rest, so they attacked each other fiercely. The battlefield that had been calm for a while was quickly replaced by new blood and Filled with new passions.

After a hand-to-hand combat with absolutely no gimmicks to speak of, the Chaos legions retreated.Barranca's reinforcements rushed to the enemy's rear at this time, hastening their rout.Baylor led his army in pursuit and drove them across the creek once more.But this time the creek could no longer be used as a line of defense, because there were too many corpses piled up in the stream, making it easy for anyone to wade across the river.

However, Baylor's action made his troops break away from the main force and formed a gap with the friendly forces.Realize that at any moment you will be attacked by the enemy from both wings.Belair therefore had to get the troops back in time.

If the coalition forces were not at a significant disadvantage this time, then if Barranca took advantage of the situation to attack, he might be able to defeat the Chaos Legion in one fell swoop.It is a pity that although Baylor won a small victory, it cannot change the overall strength of the two sides.

At the same time, Barranca sent reinforcements to Belleur, when the returning cavalry suddenly launched a round of unexpected attacks on the central enemy.Two consecutive waves of cavalry charges tore apart the unprepared Chaos Legion.But after tearing through the enemy's first line, they saw the enemy's second line.They didn't dare to rush anymore because the opponent had a large number of people.The victory just won becomes meaningless in the blink of an eye.

However, this wave of tug-of-war is still just a round of trial for this war.The Chaos Legion saw such a situation. Since the central part of the coalition army gathered a considerable number of cavalry, they could easily reinforce the two wings and return in time.This means that if the Chaos Legion attacks the two wings of the coalition forces, they must defeat the reinforcements sent by the center of the coalition forces.On the contrary, if they attack the center, the two wings are unable to give timely support to the center.

So the Chaos Legion began to concentrate its forces on the central side, and then launched a full-line attack.This is no longer an offensive on a certain wing or a certain point, but an all-round attack on the entire battlefield.But the focus is on Barranca's side in the center.

As in the previous battle, at the critical moment, Barranca sent the tank out.Due to the muddy terrain, tanks cannot roam freely, but they can still pose a threat to the Chaos army in a large area.Barrancar hoped to offset Chaos' numerical superiority with this new chariot.

But unfortunately, this is not the right decision.The Chaos Legion had already prepared, so when the tanks had just appeared on the front line, before they even went into battle, a lot of magic had already been thrown on these tanks.The thick shell and rivets that wrapped the tank corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into pieces and falling off.Just now, the majestic and majestic steel chariot turned into a rusty, slow-moving broken car in a blink of an eye.

The wheels of some tanks could not bear their own weight due to rust, and they just collapsed like this, while others were directly scrapped because of steam engine failure.Only two tanks made it to the battle, but that was pointless.The steel shell had turned into a rotten iron plate, and the Chaos warriors directly used the weapons in their hands to dismantle this no longer threatening toy.

The large phalanx formed by Chaos God's Chosen fighters killed the tanks like a game, and hit the front of the coalition forces directly.

At dusk, the snake-like coalition front was torn apart from the middle.The troops in the center retreated regardless of the two wings, and the troops on the two wings had to retreat with them.If it wasn't for the complicated terrain—there was no complicated terrain on the plain, but due to the heavy rain just after, there were muddy pits everywhere—perhaps the chasing after the tail of the Chaos Legion would have completely defeated the coalition forces.

Fortunately, experienced gunners have already chosen a retreat route.So although it is said that they retreated under pressure, there did not appear to be a large number of cannons that got stuck in the mud and had to be discarded.

It was slowly getting dark.

Barely maintaining formation, the troops retreated under the magical attacks of the Chaos Sorcerers—followed, of course, by the blades of the Chaos Legion.The mages on Ashrufat's side had exhausted their energy in the afternoon's battle, and the magic-breaking scrolls had also been used up, and they could no longer stop the enemy's magic attacks.And the Chaos Wizard didn't have any idea of ​​hiding his strength, but tried his best to use magic to cause death, injury and destruction, and wanted to use this method to collapse the coalition forces.Their magical combat power does have a great advantage, causing a lot of damage.

Under the magical attack, the casualties of the soldiers soared.Soldiers who were able to move were carried along as much as possible, and those who were incapacitated could only be left behind.Most of them never came back.

However, the reserve team led by Ashrufat—that is, the two thousand cavalry—was thrown into the battlefield at this moment.This new force launched several rounds of counterattacks, which slightly curbed the momentum of the Chaos Legion's pursuit, and finally dragged on until dark.

The night failed to stop the fighting.Marvin has made up his mind not to let Ashrufat escape from his palm.The Chaos Legion did not make any move to withdraw their troops, but followed Ashurfate closely.In the darkness of night, there were little lights of fire everywhere, and no one knew whether the fire lights closest to them were enemy troops or friendly troops.Only the battle cries that still sounded from time to time on the battlefield-and the wails of pain showed that the battle was still going on.

Ashuruffat's dark vision plays a huge role here.He was still able to see the battlefield clearly and understand the positions of the troops at hand.With his superhuman physical strength and dark vision, he was able to get in front of disoriented troops at critical moments and tell them what to do.This greatly offset the advantages of the Chaos Legion.

But even so, even if Ashurfat tried all his methods, the entire army barely broke up, but maintained the appearance of an army, slowly retreating in one direction.

The Chaos Legion is still in hot pursuit.Although it is dark, there are many magicians in the Chaos Legion. They separate the magicians, keep in touch with each other in some way, and maintain a minimum internal scheduling.The morale of the Chaos warriors is also high, and they all know that they have won the battle.

In the middle of the night, an accident happened.A fireball fired by a Chaos Wizard happened to hit a bush.Originally, the environment after such a heavy rain was not easy to catch fire, but this time it happened.The fire illuminated the surroundings, revealing a retreating army.This was the main force of the Tiberius under the command of Beler.During the retreat just now, Belleux had cleverly and slowly assembled his troops, preparing for a surprise counterattack.

Chaos legions from all directions immediately surrounded, and the battle broke out in chaos.The two sides had no formation, no discipline, no organization, and just fought in the flames.

The surrounding Chaos Legion was attracted by the flames, but the other troops of the coalition forces were unable to come to reinforce them because they were retreating.Baylor is under siege.

Ashurfat charged forward with his assembled cavalry, attacking from the rear of the Chaos army, knocking the enemy to pieces.In the light of the fire, his blood dragon banner fluttered in the ranks, gathering the scattered soldiers together again.Baylor finally broke through the siege with his men.

This action saved Belleur. Although he suffered heavy casualties, he was not wiped out after all.
