Chapter 673: A Great Victory
As the sound of the horses' hooves grew louder and louder, the earth seemed to shake with it.
The sound of horses' hooves not only broke the psychological defenses of those routed soldiers, but also made the hearts of the players of the law enforcement team tremble.
The players were already struggling to resist those frantic routs, and if they added a cavalry regiment of the Condor Army, then they would be a little powerless.
Faced with the frantic rout of the coalition and the sound of horses' hooves getting closer, many players hesitated to turn and flee with the routs.
Although adventurer players are not very afraid of death, the players who can join the law enforcement team are all elite players at this stage.
It was not easy for them to randomly get to the best attributes now, and the equipment on their bodies, from head to toe, was carefully selected by them, and they even spent a lot of money for it.
Some people even paid a huge price to become magic swordsmen.
If they die in battle, then all their efforts during this time will be in vain.
If their guild is able to keep their territory, it may be possible to make some compensation to them afterwards.
If a territory is occupied by an enemy, they will have to consider themselves unlucky until they occupy a new territory.
While many players were still hesitating whether to retreat, the cavalry that made the sound of horses' hooves was finally revealed.
When the tall centaur warriors in armor and armed with javelins appeared in people's field of vision, both the routing Alliance soldiers and the players of the law enforcement team felt a strong sense of death.
"Covered throwing."
With the order of the centaur general at the head, the centaur warriors who entered the firing range threw their javelins towards the crowd in front of them.
"Ah.......h
When the rain of javelins fell, a large number of screams were heard from the two armies that were mixed together, and the originally dense crowd suddenly collapsed.
In the face of the rain of javelins thrown by centaur warriors with the help of high-speed charges, ordinary shields and armor did not play any protective role at all, and many javelins directly penetrated the shield, and then castrated unabated, nailing the shield-wielding soldiers.
After throwing the javelins in their hands, the centaur warriors in the front row held their shields in their left hands and their guns in their right hands, and with the inertia of running at high speed, they plunged directly into the crowd.
When the knight's spear full of corpses became heavier and heavier, they decisively let go of their right hand holding the knight's spear, pulled out the melee scimitar from their backs, and then frantically slashed at the surrounding enemies.
During the first wave of the Centaur Warriors' charge, countless coalition soldiers and players were knocked into the air, and although many of them had stopped the infighting in time, they still couldn't stop the Centaur Warriors' charge.
As more and more centaur warriors joined the warband, the two armies that had been fighting among themselves were routed at about the same time.
Faced with the tall centaur warriors, they simply could not organize an effective resistance, so the soldiers of the two armies began to flee to the rear together.
Although they could not withstand the attack of the centaur warriors, the number of centaur troops who rushed to the battlefield first by the Condor was not very large, and if they ran faster than the others, then there was still a chance to escape.
Just when many people began to flee with this fluke mentality, a new group of figures appeared behind the centaur warriors.
With the arrival of the elven archers, the escape path of the coalition soldiers became even narrower.
In the field, infantry against cavalry, generally can only rely on the military formation to fight a defensive counterattack, once the protection of the military formation is lost, then the infantry will fall into a comprehensive passivity.
And if the infantry were to be routed by the cavalry, then a one-sided massacre would follow.
Faced with the pursuit of the Condor Cavalry Regiment, many coalition soldiers found that they could not escape, in order to save their lives, they could only throw away their weapons, and then completely put their fate in the hands of the Condor Army.
The aboriginal soldiers in the coalition army could choose to surrender, but the players of the law enforcement team couldn't, because they knew that Ning Yuan never took players prisoners, so they could only use their strength to eat milk and run forward with all their might.
Faced with the surrender of the enemy in pieces, the soldiers of the Condor Cavalry Regiment swept directly past them and chased after the enemies who were still fleeing in front.
After the cavalry was gone, there were only countless surrendered soldiers left on the battlefield.
Now that they are left alone, they can either take the opportunity to escape, or they can choose to stay and wait to be captured.
So there was a strange picture on the battlefield, countless coalition soldiers, everyone you look at me, I look at you, and for a moment I don't know whether to run away or stay and be captured.
And at this moment, the mermaid warriors who had been watching the excitement in the rear rushed over in time.
After arriving at the battlefield, the merfolk warriors commanded their troops and began to line up in turn, forming a phalanx of prisoners one after another.
As a result, an even more bizarre picture was born, a large number of subdued phalanxes appeared on the battlefield, and there were more than a dozen mermaid warriors outside each phalanx to maintain order.
Tens of thousands of coalition soldiers were captured by thousands of merfolk warriors, and then there was still a lot of harmony between the enemy and us, and no one wanted to escape.
As more and more Condor troops crossed the Grand Canal, the defensive line that the Silver Star Alliance had placed along the Grand Canal was completely lost.
This large-scale raid began at about three o'clock in the morning and gradually came to an end at nearly noon.
In this battle, the Condor Army dispatched a total of 200,000 mermaid troops, 400,000 centaur troops, 500,000 elven archer cavalry troops, and 500,000 elven ranger troops, for a total of 1.6 million troops.
The Silver Star Alliance has a total of 1.5 million elven troops along the Grand Canal, and behind the elven army, there is also a million player law enforcement troops.
With the collapse of the entire defense line, the 1.5 million elven army was almost completely wiped out, and the 1 million player law enforcement team eventually escaped back with less than 200,000 people, which can be described as a heavy loss.
After learning the news that the army on the front line had been routed and was being pursued by the cavalry regiment of the Condor Empire, the top management of the Silver Star Alliance in Bazhou did not choose to send cavalry to the rescue.
After a short period of deliberation, they finally retreated to the Shijiazhuang area with 600,000 cavalry.
After comprehending the power of the Condor Army's Jiaolong special forces, they no longer dared to arrange the defense line in a place where there were big rivers.
There were no big rivers near Shijiazhuang, there were mountains on the left, and an open plain to the south, and they were ready to concentrate the rest of their troops there, break the cauldron and fight to the death with the Condor army.
