The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 90 Heavy Cavalry and Crossbow (10k)

"Canantiel, how are you, are you nervous?"

Riding his horse through the groups of soldiers preparing for defense, Hu Ge said to Black Blade. His tone was very relaxed, but the palms holding the reins silently showed his mood.

"No more, now we just need to fight." Black Blade's words were concise and concise, which was indeed his style.

"Yeah, all you need to do is fight." Hu Ge really envied Black Blade. When he saw his panic before, Hu Ge thought that this man who had always been calm and calm would undergo some changes. In the end, his panic only lasted. That moment.

However, Hugo also knew that he did not know that he had reached this point. Too many people's lives were entrusted to him. The Westeros people's Eastern cause was closely tied to him. So many people died for this cause. Hugo How can you not be nervous?

Riding his horse up the hill in the center of the military formation, soldiers continued to pay tribute to him. The appearance of the God's Beloved also made many uneasy people feel at ease. Hu Ge looked past the soldiers who were nervously digging and setting up fortifications, and looked at the gathering on both sides. of enemies.

On their left was the enemy's main line. The enemy troops here were stronger in quantity and quality. He saw many Norvos flags and an army with the Black Goat flag. is moving.

As for the right side, it looked much worse. The Norvos army there was not well equipped, and the motley mercenaries of Braavos and Loras were also on that side.

There is no doubt that the focus of defense is on the left side. The enemy threat on the right side is not very great and the number is not large. There are also more rocks and vegetation on the right side, which greatly hinders the enemy's advance on the right side. Hu Gor could hold that side with only a small number of troops, so he placed Berlich's Hillmen there - of course, he didn't forget to arrange for the warlord, Ser Marlon Manderly, to be there as well.

The Norvos people are like this. As for the mercenaries of the northern city-states, it goes without saying that the hilly people deal with them so easily. The Norvos people can still rely on their spirit and training to fight to the death, but they collapse at the first touch.

"What? Valyrian armor and sword? Or a whole one? Are you sure?" Hugo took this news very seriously.

"Theodore, you need to make sacrifices." Hugo called to the leader of the Seven Star Knights. The serious knight's expression did not change for Hugo's words. He just took a step forward and bowed to Hugo, "Also, Don’t forget what I commanded you.”

"In the melee, I encountered a cavalry with such swords and extremely strong armor. I took the best hands of my men to besiege them, but I could barely repel them. Even if we broke the armor, A hammer with an awl can only make a dent, which we can do there."

These heavy cavalry were wearing heavy scale armor, and their faces were also covered under the visor. The horses underneath were naturally also scaled vests. These armors were all a dark steel color. Under the sun that had just risen at this moment, they looked like An army of darkness.

At that moment, Hu Ge almost forgot to breathe. He looked at the cloud of smoke rising into the sky, at the cavalry constantly coming in and out, and at the arrows flying above the smoke. He was so nervous that he had nothing to add.

However, Hugo had also come into contact with some existing Valyrian steel weapons. This sword gave him a feeling that it was different from those Valyrian swords. Hugo felt it carefully for a while and found that compared with the Valyrian steel weapons he had come into contact with, Leah weapon, this sword is much heavier in weight - but still much better than a regular sword.

As for what Hu Ge ordered, it was of course to move the noble disciples of the Knights of the Seven Gods to the back. Hu Ge needed them alive.

Shortly after Theodore left, Hugo saw the flag of the Seven Stars moving. A large number of cavalry followed Theodore and rushed towards the enemy. Like the Kohor people on the opposite side, the Knights of the Seven Stars also had a large number of good and weak cavalry. The cavalry followed.

However, both sides have arranged officers to maintain the battle line. They all hold an over-long spear in their hands and constantly beat the cavalry who stray from the battle line. As for those who want to escape from the battle, if they are caught, they will be killed on the spot. kill.

On the left, the Novus army was being organized and reorganized, and a large number of infantry were lining up amidst shouts. The orderly look made Hugo envious. It would be great if he had such an army.

After the battle, the smoke and dust dissipated, and Hu Ge was able to see clearly the scene on the battlefield. He saw the corpses of men and horses everywhere on the ground. Some of the corpses were beyond recognition. It is self-evident what he had gone through. The horses that lost their owners or the long journey Running aimlessly, or chewing on the blood-stained grass on the ground.

Encountered a tough problem. Hugo thought that this was the first time he had encountered such a difficult opponent since he came to the Eastern Continent. Vellerion was only difficult because of his size, but the Milo in front of him really made him feel that he had met his opponent. .

Oh, that's wrong. He is now an earl. Hugo sealed a large piece of land in Biandi Land to him, making him a legitimate earl - but Mandalay has not yet become a vassal.

The Westeros cavalry also raised a lot of smoke and dust, making the battlefield look full of smoke, but Hugo still kept his eyes on the approaching battle lines of both sides. As the distance between the two sides narrowed, many Qohor people pulled out the weapons on their saddles. Riding bows, the Kohor people have been dealing with horsemen all year round, so mounted archery has become a skill that the military nobles of Kohor must master.

"I'm sorry, Lord Hugo." Theodore held his helmet, which had several obvious dents. "We failed to defeat the enemy, but your arrangement was successful, you can rest assured."

"Reporting the situation, is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Hu Ge relaxed a little when he heard that the arrangement was successful, and then asked about the situation. As for the defeat, that was expected.

When he mentioned those experiences, Theodore showed an expression of resentment. It was because so many of his comrades who had fought side by side with him for a long time died at the hands of the Qohor people. The backbone of the Knights of the Seven Stars who carried the heavy burden suffered heavy losses.

Due to the smoke and dust raised by the cavalry on both sides, Hu Ge couldn't see clearly what was going on. He could only hear the continuous screams, the neighing of horses and the sound of gold and iron clashing. Occasionally, he could see the cavalry falling off their horses. I saw the knights chasing each other back and forth.

"The Qohor people's cavalry is very powerful, but after the bloody battle just now, it is impossible to break through our phalanx." The front-line commander gave his conclusion. Hu Ge nodded repeatedly. This was exactly what he wanted. The desired result, but the following sentence made Hu Ge nervous.

"Harlan, tell Snow to go to the front line in person. If he finds such an enemy, he will immediately besiege them. I want these people to come and go."

To Hugo's surprise, the Kohor people did not pursue them. The horns sounded in the Black Goat's queue. The Kohor cavalry began to regroup. Although they defeated the enemy, their appearance was not very good. Many of the cavalrymen had their armor cracked and some were bleeding.

The battle on the right is not as heart-wrenching as it looks here. Berlich's hillmen are very at home in this environment full of rocks and vegetation. They constantly use slings and spear throwers to fight guerrillas in complex environments. As a result, the losses to the neat phalanx of the Novus people continued to increase, and they had to disband the phalanx. However, this fell into a situation where the hill people were better at, and they could not take advantage. Moreover, the width of the battlefield did not allow them to exert their strength advantage.

"Among the Qohor cavalry, I suspect there is a unit equipped with Valyrian armor and weapons. There should be hundreds of people."

The scene of the knight falling off his horse made Hugo's heart bleed. Those were his elites. Fortunately, this did not last long, because the cavalry of both sides collided next.

When Hu Ge laid out his strategy earlier, he thought about the possibility of the enemy launching a cavalry attack. His response strategy was to trade lives for time and use the lives of his knights to slow down the impact of the enemy cavalry and allow the infantry to absorb the impact. Create better conditions.

After all, the Andas army found its way between two Norvos armies in the dark, so their footing must be unstable. It seemed that Milo planned to defeat them all at once, and then began to herd the sheep.

The Westeros cavalry retreated into the military formation along the few roads reserved for them. As the cavalry passed, the infantry immediately moved roadblocks and put up sharp stakes in preparation for the enemy's impact.

Moreover, the smoke raised by a large number of cavalry obscured the Norvos infantry behind, making it difficult to see the scene over there clearly. Hugo subconsciously bit his lower lip. This all shows that Milo is a difficult person to deal with. , much more difficult to deal with than Villerion.

As the arrows fell, some Westeros knights fell off their horses. Qohor has always been famous for its forging technology. It produces various top-notch weapons. Qohor's cavalry are naturally equipped with these things. Now they are shooting , it is Qohor's armor-piercing arrow.

As the distance between the two sides continued to get closer, the unsteady cavalry began to waver one after another, and some people kept deviating from the battle line. It was not that they lacked courage, but that when faced with such a fierce charge, the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages would always make them act Some subconscious actions, unwilling to impact with the opponent.

"Blow the horn." Hugo said. When the horn sounded, the most determined group of Westeros cavalry who fought to the death also retreated. They were the Knights of the Seven Stars.

Hugo watched the Seven-Star Knights display three rows of battle lines, and the cavalry behind them also followed suit. The Qohor cavalry on the opposite side relied on their numerical advantage to form a big crescent, like It's a big mouth, biting down on the people of Westeros.

Seeing the superiority of the battle situation on the other side, Hu Ge relaxed a little, but when his mind turned back, he felt suffocated again, and his good mood was immediately destroyed, because the smoke and dust on the battlefield were dissipating, and in the smoke and dust, More and more Andas cavalry are fleeing - even defeated.

Theodore asked the accompanying attendant to offer him a blood-stained sword. Hugo didn't care about the blood on it, picked it up directly, and then made a few gestures. This feel and lightness, there is no doubt that this It's a Valyrian steel weapon.

The heavy cavalry rushed straight towards the Andals' position. Their purpose was very obvious. Hugo frowned. Milo on the opposite side should not be underestimated. He adopted the most decisive strategy as soon as he came up.

Although Qohor's heavy cavalry is famous throughout Essos for the disastrous defeat of Qohor's city and the centaurs, Hugo is not one of those traffickers who don't understand military affairs, so he thinks that Qohor's heavy cavalry is not worth mentioning. He understands , at any time, heavy cavalry is the foundation of a political power and a country.

It wasn't until he couldn't get any more angry that Hu Ge took a big breath. He remembered that the battle was not just about this aspect, but also had other aspects, so he turned his head and looked to the other side.

"Kohor's heavy cavalry, hum." Hugo knew that flag, the black goat of Qohor. He had long known about the participation of the Qohor people in the war, but he had only seen Qohor's troops now.

Just as Hu Ge was observing the battle formation and re-examining his strategy in his mind, the enemy moved. With a few horn blasts, the heavy cavalry with the black goat flag rushed out of the battle formation. Along with them, there were A large number of riders of all kinds instantly stirred up a lot of smoke and dust, and it was difficult for Hu Ge not to notice.

After a slight pause, the Kohor people started to attack again, but the momentum was obviously not as good as before, and the queue was not as neat as before. At this time, Theodore, who was covered in blood, came over, and people took the initiative to defend the man who had just fought bloody battles. The leader of the knights moved out of the way.

Hugo knew very well what would happen if an enemy equipped with this kind of armor entered the battle formation, and the young herald Harun Laget immediately went to convey Hugo's order. He moved quickly because he understood the importance of it. sex.

After ordering Theodore to prepare for another attack, Hugo continued to look at the battlefield. The Kohor cavalry had arrived not far from the military formation. Now the crossbowmen in the military formation were throwing firepower at them, firing arrows and crossbows at them. Under the attack of throwing spears, some Kohor people continued to fall, but they still moved forward tenaciously.

At the front of the Kohor people, Hugo saw a team that was baptized by many projectiles, but few people fell off their horses. Even now that the sun had risen, their armors showed a dark steel color, and their arrows Most of the time the arrow falls on it and it can't even be inserted into it.

This must be the army equipped with the so-called Valyrian armor, Hugo thought to himself, wondering whether Harlan had conveyed the news.

However, as the Qohor cavalry got closer and closer, Hugo saw that the armors were still broken by throwing spears. You know, everyone in Hugo's army was more or less. With a throwing spear, the closer the distance is, the more spears can be thrown.

It seems that that thing is not Valyrian steel, or it only has some special effects of Valyrian steel. Hugo's hand on the reins relaxed a little. Valyrian steel armor is not that easy to break. It is really Invulnerable in the sense of the word.

The front of the Andas infantry was densely covered with horses and pickets. Seeing this scene, many Qohor cavalrymen subconsciously slowed down their horses, or took off their riding bows to shoot arrows at the infantry, or used long pole weapons to shoot at them in front of the fortifications. Stab inside.

Some of them were directly hit by the thick armor, which was naturally inserted into the sieve, but they were hit too many times, and the roadblock was indeed smashed and knocked open. The Qohor people filed in, but they were immediately blocked by the infantry who gathered. After being blocked, some Qohor people jumped over the roadblock on horseback, but they were immediately surrounded by infantry. Then they were defeated by four hands and were dragged off their horses and killed.

Although the infantry had a numerical advantage, the enemy had an armor advantage. The thickness of the armor was enough to offset too many things. The Kohor people relied on their armor to forcefully push past the roadblocks and pickets. Many Kohor people even His body was full of arrows, and he was stabbed by several spears at the same time, and he was killing them forward regardless.

However, this scene made Hugo breathe a sigh of relief, because the most dangerous moment has passed. The Cohor cavalry was dragged into the war of attrition, which meant that the battle formation had to become stalemate, and the infantry was the least afraid of attrition. They could not break it in a short time. Battle formation.

Hugo shifted his gaze from the fierce battle to the back of the Kohor people, and his heart, which had just relaxed a little, became tense again.

Under the banner of the axe-wielding bear, the Norvos formed three tight spear phalanxes, holding up their super-long spears, like a forest of spears. Amid the loud passwords, the Norvos people started to move forward with neat steps, first walking in unison, and then switching to running. Their speed continued to increase, looking like a moving steel forest.

Just the first blow from General Milo made Hugo feel dizzy. Now he had to face a more powerful punch. Novos's phalanx was already well-known in Essos, so the intensity naturally didn't need to be high. To say the least, Hu Ge also realized the strength of the enemy from a series of previous battle reports.

"This Milo is really difficult to deal with." Hugo said subconsciously, thinking of Villerion again. It would be great if the general he faced was only at the level of Prince Pentos.

However, it is now time for Hu Ge to play his cards.

The herald Harun just returned at this time, and Hugo asked him to implement the plan immediately. Harun immediately raised a big flag and waved it desperately in the direction of the Andas military camp.

In that direction, Hugo also deployed his troops. They lined up behind the originally built parapet. It seemed that Milo did not regard the troops there as a threat. After all, their numbers did not seem to be large. This was exactly what Hugo was doing. Ge desired effect.

The troops over there seemed to be just a team to take over when Hu Ge's main force was defeated. They were not very eye-catching, and the number did not seem to be very large.

"Brothers, when it's time for us to work, Byland, get everyone moving immediately." Gleicher said while looking at the waving flag, finally waiting for the signal.

During the fierce fighting on the front line, Gleicher was also very anxious, especially when he knew that his son was fighting fiercely there. He almost ordered a shooting several times.

However, he finally held back, and now it was finally time to show off.

"It's finally begun, Seven Gods above." Bylan Ker said excitedly, and immediately started running. He shouted all the way, and would kick someone if he saw someone slow.

Not long after Gleicher finished speaking, the soldiers who had been sitting or lying down with nothing to do all stood up and picked up their weapons, which were crossbows. The crossbow quivers on their waists were full of quivers. Crossbow arrows wrapped with silver ribbons. At the same time, some soldiers also lifted some canvases to reveal individual ballistas.

Then they began to advance, and when they advanced to a position where they could shoot at the enemy, everyone began to prepare. As Bailan's penetrating voice sounded, the arrow flew out.

.

Milo Ludesin is very relaxed now, and the reason why he is relaxed is that victory seems close at hand. Behind him, the forest of spears is moving quickly, heading towards the stubborn enemy. Milo is very sure, As long as the spear phalanx comes in front of the enemy, victory will belong to him. Many enemies collapsed in front of Novos' spear phalanx, and Milo believed that the same was true for the main force of adventurers in front of him.

Although the battle was not over yet, Milo couldn't help but start thinking about post-war matters. It was right to think about it earlier after all: the Pentos people had been defeated, they had retreated to the city, and the division of the fruits of victory was no longer their business; Qohor The heavy cavalry suffered heavy losses in the attack, and they can probably be dispatched with some loot; the only ones in trouble are Braavos and Loras, who will definitely have to tear off some flesh, but tear it apart, it's not a big deal. , just wait until Andas stabilizes in the future, and then take over everything.

And with such a great victory, he will definitely be able to reach the top of the Order and become the Master of the Order. Milo has already begun to imagine that moment.

He, Milo Ludesin, will also become an important figure in the history of Novos. He annexed the river valley that Novos has been unable to conquer for hundreds of years, bringing Novos to a higher peak. Under his rule, , Norvos might even become the overlord of the Free Trade City, and the overlord of the entire East...

Milo has always been a very stable person. He rarely starts to fantasize about everything he can get before something is achieved, but in the face of such great glory and benefits, he still can't restrain his fantasies about the future.

However, after fantasizing for a while, he dismissed these thoughts. The battle is not over yet, so it is better not to spend too much attention on it.

Suddenly, Milo heard something flying across the sky and a whooshing sound. When many people were still looking at the sky in confusion, his expression changed drastically. He immediately picked up the shield on the saddle and put it on his head.

Then he felt the power of the crossbow arrows falling on it. Around him, people were turned upside down, and several people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. The situation on the infantry side was even worse. The rain of arrows focused on that area, and only a forest of spears could be seen. Some of the fallen spears also fell together with nearby spears, and many soldiers were injured by the spears.

The most tragic scene Milo saw was when a large crossbow arrow hit a phalanx, and three soldiers were immediately strung together. The three soldiers did not die immediately, and they kept howling there until the slave soldiers Cut off his head.

When the arrow rain stopped, Milo put down his shield, but when he heard the fatal swishing sound again, he immediately raised his shield again and called his followers away from the arrow rain.

Compared with the current round, the previous round of arrow rain seemed to be just a test, because there were more crossbow arrows mixed with arrows, and more soldiers fell to the ground. Most of Novos' phalanx soldiers were generally protective. He only had a piece of cotton armor on his body, so he suffered heavy losses under such a rain of arrows.

"The enemy was shooting from the south."

After getting out of the range of the arrow rain, Milo heard someone say that he looked and saw many crossbowmen shooting over there, and at some point, several crossbows appeared over there.

The Norvosian phalanx concentrated all the strongest armor in the team at the front to withstand the blow. The enemy attacked from the side, which naturally caused heavy losses to the Norvos people.

Milo watched the phalanx soldiers fall one after another under the arrows, and his heart felt like a knife. He was still careless. He didn't expect there were so many crossbowmen there.

However, this is not a fatal matter. Milo also regained his composure after the initial embarrassment. He felt that the loss was great just now when he was in the rain of arrows. But after leaving, it was nothing more than that. Next, he dispersed those shooters. Can.

It’s just that the troops over there are now much larger than what we saw just now. Milo frowned and thought, it can't be dispersed simply by sending one or two thousand people. Thinking of this, Milo also had an idea of ​​the next arrangements.

"Linde, you immediately lead a large square formation over and drive away the shooters. After completing this task, you will go back to the flank of the adventurer army. Since he likes to attack from the side, I will follow his example."

Young Linde immediately became excited when he heard the news. He knew how much power General Milo had given him. After thanking the general hurriedly, he hurried forward to command his phalanx.

It's just a little trick, adventurer, do you have any other tricks next? Milo looked at the seven-pointed star on Hugo's position and thought with malice, but then the arrow that flew out from the adventurer's position hit him hard in the face.

A large number of arrows passed over the strong-armored Norvos warriors in the front and fell on the phalanx soldiers in the rear who lacked armor. The scene Milo had just seen reappeared.

No matter this time or last time, not many people died directly under the arrow rain, but this also brought trouble. For one injured person, two people were needed to take the wounded to the rear. It was equivalent to one wounded person to reduce the number of casualties. Forth two soldiers.

Milo also noticed this. Subconsciously, he wanted to give an order to stop the rescue of the wounded, but the words came to his mouth and he swallowed them hard. The Novos army was organized according to regions, and each army was full of people. If relatives, fellow villagers and friends of each other give orders by themselves, not many people will listen and not listen, and their reputation will be ruined.

Therefore, he did not give an order in the end, but instead said another sentence, "Speed ​​up, speed up for me, and pass the enemy's firepower as soon as possible."

If you want to prevent the enemy's firepower, it is also a good way to speed up the march. As long as you reach the enemy, the enemy will not even think about shooting arrows. The orders will be responded to by the soldiers immediately. The Novus people are moving faster, and many The soldiers held a breath in their hearts and wanted to rush to the enemy to settle accounts with them.

The arrows fell one after another in the phalanx, and people kept falling. However, the Norvos people still relied on their resilience and moved forward tenaciously. However, when they saw clearly the movements of those archers. When he saw his face, the archers turned around and ran away, and the array of adventurer troops also pushed back.

The Norvos attacked the left and right wings of the Qohor people, and these two wings retreated on their own. This naturally attracted the attention of some Qohor cavalry, and someone immediately climbed over and removed the roadblock.

However, they later discovered that the Andals had also deployed a defensive line behind the roadblock spikes. The defense line was composed of carts and horses, which had previously been covered by a large number of infantry. It just protected the left and right wings of the central troops that were highlighted due to the retreat of the left and right troops. The retreating troops also withdrew to the new front in the rear.

The Andas army in the center was a little shaken by the retreat of the friendly forces on the left and right, and the battle line suddenly retreated a lot. However, as the farmer Snow entered with a large number of reinforcements, the original wavering stabilized.

The Novos people felt like they were being tricked, and they immediately increased their speed. At this distance, the Andals could already shoot flatly, so the Novos people hit a hail of arrows head-on.

This round of arrows knocked down a group of Norvos soldiers. This was still the strongest and best-armored group, making the Norvos people even more angry.

Moreover, the crossbowmen kept making contemptuous gestures towards them. The Norvos people had not been tricked like this in many years, so the front phalanx speeded up on their own, trying to string the enemy on their spears.

However, they still stopped in front of the first layer of roadblocks and had to spend time demolishing these roadblocks. Although the Novos people acted quickly, they still received several rounds of arrows, which made them more and more annoyed.

After dismantling the roadblocks and facing the oncoming arrows, the Novos phalanx in front moved forward tenaciously with resentment, and even started running without any reservation of physical strength.

In the eyes of the Novos people, as long as they reach the damn enemy and engage in battle with the damn enemy, victory will belong to them and their anger can be vented. After all, they have won this way countless times, and they have never seen this. No doubt.

While the front phalanx did this, the rear phalanx did not receive the order, which caused the front and rear troops to be disconnected. Looking at this scene, Milo almost howled and ordered all the phalanxes to follow, but the transmission of the order required time.

The Norvos people rushed in front of the second round of fortifications, and the crossbowmen who had just been so proud of them climbed over the fortifications in embarrassment. This made many Norvos people very proud and their hatred was alleviated to a certain extent. But the next moment of revenge is the happy moment.

According to their inertial thinking, as long as the spear phalanx is pushed over, the enemy will immediately collapse, and no one can stop their spear charge.

But what happened next was beyond their expectations and completely outside of their inherent impressions.

After suffering another wave of casualties in the face of the defenders' spears, they reached the roadblock. In front of the roadblock, the Norvos felt unable to use it. The barricade blocked the spears, and the enemy also blocked the people who passed through the barricade. The spears were chopped off one by one.

As for climbing over the roadblock, you will give up your advantage and you will be immediately besieged by the enemy. If you climb over, you will die.

What was worse was yet to come. The phalanx soldiers fighting on the front line suddenly heard a rumble from behind them, and found that the enemy's cavalry had rushed out again at some point, taking advantage of the gap before the follow-up troops had arrived, and crashed into Novos. The back of the phalanx.

Since the engagement between the Norvos and the Andals was not complete - after all, the attack was an independent act of many troops - many of the defending warriors simply rolled out and attacked the enemy from the flanks.

Hugo's army was filled with lords and squires who were full of hatred for the Norvos. The Norvos' massacres in various parts of the Andas greatly offended them. It was common for family members and friends to die at the hands of the Norvos. They are also the most active in fighting - it is for this reason that Hu Ge placed them at the front.

These Novos people had already consumed a lot of energy while running, and they were baptized by so many rounds of arrows. They also faced the frustration of being unable to break through the enemy's phalanx. Finally, they were attacked from behind by the enemy cavalry, so there were many phalanxes. It collapsed immediately.

The collapse caused a cascading effect. The Norvos phalanx that was immediately engaged in the battle collapsed one after another, and arrows rained from the sky, which intensified the chaos.

After completing the scene after the collapse, the Westeros cavalry returned to their own camp after a short cover-up. Of course, some people became red-eyed and started to fight wildly. No one of these idiots cared about their fate. .

At this moment, after receiving the order to speed up, the Novos phalanx directly ran into these broken troops. Some phalanxes stopped when they saw the broken troops, and some ran over them without hesitation, completely defeating the Novos people. The front lines were in chaos.

Soon, the horn sounded again. This horn quickly reversed the chaos, because it only conveyed one order, that is, the entire army stopped and reorganized.

Now the Norvos people really need to stop and reorganize, but the problem is that the opponent will not let them slowly reorganize their team.

A large number of light infantry quickly climbed out of the roadblock. They generally carried a spear on their back and another in their hands. They used the spear thrower to throw spears at the stopped phalanx.

In Hugo's military formation, the number of light infantry using spear throwers is extremely exaggerated. Now is the time for them to play their role.

Arrows continued to fall from the sky, and the Norvos people died one after another under the merciless fire. They suffered heavy losses.

However, the local troops gave the Norvos people strong resilience. Despite the constant casualties, the Norvos people completed the entire team and made adjustments so that the slave soldiers with two-handed axes and shaved heads rushed to the front. .

Just like before, seeing the enemy coming, the Andals ran back behind the roadblock, while the slave soldiers ran. Arrows and spears kept falling on them, but the strong armor blocked them.

The slave soldiers of Novos were brought to the cult from childhood and formed under the upbringing and training of the cult. Compared with ordinary slave soldiers, they are more determined and can use a double-edged ax with great proficiency. Armor, they are humanoid killing machines on the battlefield.

After the slave soldiers came forward, the phalanx slowly followed up. Around the roadblock, the two sides began a fierce battle. Although the Novos people did not encounter the embarrassment just now, the battle fell into a stalemate. This was not a Novus What the Fossians want to see.

And I don’t know when, the crossbowmen detoured back to the northern flank, pouring arrows at the enemy with all their strength. Many soldiers’ hands were bleeding, and they were still pulling the bow string desperately. The casualties of the Norvos people were even more rapid. Increasingly, under the arrows coming from the flanks, the soldiers fell one after another. If the Norvos people had not had enough fighting will, they would have collapsed long ago.

Under such a blow, many Norvos soldiers dropped their spears and picked up the shields scattered on the ground, but this weakened the power of the spear phalanx.

Watching another round of arrows falling in the square formation, Milo felt like his heart was cut by a knife. It was too bad, everything was too bad, everything did not develop according to plan, and he still underestimated the adventurer.

Milo was heartbroken, but also felt embarrassed. With such tragic casualties, how could he explain to the country even if he won the battle?

Efforts to reduce casualties also failed. He ordered the archers of Novus to suppress the opponent. As a result, they could not shoot at the opponent at all. Let alone suppressing them, they could not even shoot accurately. Then the enemy found the position and took the shot. Collapsed in the rain of arrows.

I don't know when the adventurers set up several trebuchets behind the battle line. Although the objects thrown by the trebuchets were extremely accurate, one hit was enough to affect the morale of a large number of soldiers.

Milo tried hard to suppress his mixed emotions and looked around the entire battlefield. He found that the advancement of the Novus army was in a stalemate no matter which direction it was in. The battle lines might be pulling each other, but generally there was not much change.

He once wanted to pull out the cavalry of Qohor and let the phalanx of Novos rise up, but the people of Qohor directly rejected his order, saying that honor should not be insulted. Milo really wanted to rush in at that time. He cursed in front of the people of Qohor, but he finally understood. Isn't it just for the glory that the people of Qohor paid so many casualties?
Then he looked to the south. The situation there was not good either. The large phalanx led by Linde was being toyed with by the enemy like walking a dog. Whenever the phalanx advanced a certain distance, the crossbowmen retreated and fired. The phalanx was always chasing. Not as good as the enemy.

The crossbowmen over there seemed to be more elite, their shooting frequency was higher than that of the main formation, and the casualties they caused seemed to be higher. The Novos army over there also pursued them with all their strength several times, but they still couldn't catch up.

Seeing this scene, Milo's blood pressure immediately rose. He once told Lind that he should learn to adapt to changes on the battlefield, but now he can only execute orders mechanically. If he leads his army to the flank of the adventurer army, he will attack from there. , his pressure will be much less immediately.

But now I can only think about it. Milo sent a messenger to order Linde to turn around, but whether he would be able to do so in time, Milo had no hope.

In sharp contrast to Milo's bad mood, it was Hugo, whose mood was unprecedentedly high.

Although he paid a lot of casualties, the battle was developing according to his plan, and the end of the plan was his great victory.

The Norvos people were first divided by him, and then fell into attrition. The losses increased rapidly under the attack of arrows. If this continued, sooner or later the Norvos people would not be able to consume any more, and victory would definitely belong to him.

With the emotion of having everything under control, Hu Ge proudly looked across the entire battlefield. However, as he looked to the south and saw the appearance of an army and the flags on it, his smile froze.

"Why is there a Norvos force there?"
