"Fight back!" Seeing the 20,000 Sunset Knights rushing towards him like a red wolf tide rushing towards his rear, many of the officers of the Holy Light Great Empire with a somewhat panicked face roared hoarsely at the Sunset Knights beside him.
As the elite unit of the Holy Light Empire, the Knights of the Cathar, although this force is not very famous in terms of fame because of the presence of griffin knights in the new Griffin Empire in the middle of the Middle Continent, and even among the four major apologetics of the Holy Light Empire, except for the Guardian Priest Corps, the rest of the Apologetic Crossbow Corps or the Apologetic Warrior Corps are suppressed by the reputation of the Deep Blue Heavy Armor Legion and the Archer Empress Regiment of the Griffon Empire. But I have to admit that the Guardian Legion of the Holy Light Empire itself is extremely combative, not to mention that these apologetic warriors are all loyal servants of the Holy Light Sect, and the officers of the Holy Light Empire only need to say "In the name of the Holy Light." "The power of these Light-believing warriors in their frenzy will be staggering.
In addition, the combat ability and equipment configuration of the apologetic warriors themselves are very sophisticated: compared to the New Griffin Empire, because there are dwarven disciples among the many coke ovens of the Holy Light Sect, most of the weapons used by the soldiers of the Holy Light Empire are dwarven steel, which is cast from raw materials that are lower than ordinary steel but stronger than steel in terms of hardness, so if it is said that the weapons and armor in this world are used to compare the combat effectiveness between soldiers, Then the Great Empire on which the sun never sets must be in the first place, and the second in place may be the Great Vampire Empire. Or the Machine Empire, similar to the Griffin Empire, of course, it will be ranked in the top 10, but the Holy Light Empire can be ranked within the top 5,
At the same time, in terms of cavalry mounts, the griffin empire has vigorously developed griffin knights, so most of its domestic pastures are used by griffons' food production bases: although griffons are carnivorous, in fact, griffins have more demanding requirements for food, for example, griffins generally only eat sheep, and their favorite animals are horses, the more robust horses. For example, war horses and other food are the favorite food of these griffins, and raising sheep and horses requires the use of pasture; And because the Holy Light Empire lacks the cultivation method of griffins, it has to work war horses, and because the Holy Light Empire has also inherited the property left by the ancient human alliance, the Holy Light Empire began to buy horse breeds from various continents of the King Continent for crossbreeding to improve the ability of war horses in all aspects. In fact, the Divine Light Empire was also the first in the Great Continent of Kings to begin to use hybridization to improve the potential of the war horse's abilities in all aspects.
And apparently due to the heritage of the Great Empire of Divine Light possessed by the Great Empire of Divine Light, the Great Empire of Divine Light finally succeeded—in such a situation. A breed of war horse called the Holy Light Horse. It was also the first hybrid horse to appear in front of the world at this time, although this war horse breed called the Holy Light Horse is not strong in terms of movement speed, but it is completely comparable to the Nightmare Horse in terms of shipping ability and endurance, and the most important thing is that the lower plate of this Holy Light Horse is very stable, and it can make many unimaginable movements in the process of running.
"The ability to turn so fast!" After watching a large number of cathar knights complete the rotation of the body of the war horse in a very short distance, and combine them into two cavalry charging formations that look a little scattered in formation, but the power is definitely not bad. The English knights who never set on the side of the sun all showed a solemn look on their faces, after all, Sun Lin, who had the top-secret information of the troops of the Holy Light Great Empire, fully understood how terrifying the true combat power of these Holy Light Great Empire Protector Knights in front of him was.
However, horror is horror, and the faces of the English knights did not show a trace of fear, one of the reasons was because they had 20,000 knights on their side. Behind him, there are comrades from the 9th Cavalry Regiment who never set to come to support - because the weapons of the Battlefield Order members are knight's shields and large maces, and there are no riding spears, so the members of the Battlefield Order can also use the weight of their bodies to make cameo appearances in the infantry-based battle, but in the cavalry-based, especially in the current pure cavalry battle, the members of the Field Order can only stay quietly behind the English knights, who charge the heavy cavalry with great power, become the presence of support cavalry; Prior to this, the English knights knew that they were a point of attraction in themselves, in order to attract all the attention of the cavalry of the Holy Light Empire, so that the Cuman mixed cavalry army led by Uda Khan, who had already rushed to the edge of the battlefield, could attack them from the other side of the battlefield.
"Oh my God! That's a centaur knight! They are loyal to the empire on which the sun never sets! Looking at the dust raised on the left side of the battlefield, a heavily armed centaur warrior with a huge battle axe, a riding spear and a knight's shield, and a heavily armed centaur warrior wearing the symbol of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, and a high-ranking officer who was obviously a high-ranking officer in the cavalry army of the Holy Light Great Empire shouted loudly, while another middle-aged man with the same rank, but who was calmer than this guy who had lost his temper, said in a weak tone after looking at the centaur warrior and the Cuman warrior in the dust: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, This is the territory of the Centaur tribe, and there will be such a huge army of Sunset here, so the Centaur tribe must have colluded with Sunset, and even I think that the Sunset Empire has colluded with the forces of the entire southern region of the Central Continent and the northwest region. ”
"Anyway, now we can only retreat! I don't want all my soldiers to die here, deputy commander, you are now leading the troops that did not participate in the battle to break through from the northeast, I will stay to collect the remnants of the army and break through to the northwest, okay, don't ink anything, this is a military order, you go to me to execute it now! ”
"I understand Your Excellency Commander, please take care of Your Excellency!" Under the command of the high-ranking officers of the cavalry unit of the Holy Light Empire, the cavalry army that had not participated in the battle began to move towards the coast in the direction of one part of the battlefield, and the cavalry army of Cuman hussars was oncoming, as for the rest. The knightly attendants of the Holy Light Empire, who had been fighting with the 40,000 Iron Cavalry of the Sunset, and who had been rammed by the Sunset's army, began to assemble and retreat along the edge of the forest and plain at the sound of the horn.
In response to this situation, Uda, who first commanded the Cuman and the Centaur cavalry, ordered the Cuman army to make way for the retreating 50,000 or so Guardian Knights of the Holy Light Empire: although only the Holy Light Empire is currently at war with the Sunset Empire, the Sunset Empire has two potential enemies, the Griffon Empire and the Celestial Dragon Empire, and if you count the cavalry troops of these two empires, then the cavalry troops of the Sunrise Empire will be as many as nearly 500,000 people, In such a situation. With only about 200,000 people, and half of them are light cavalry or archers, the Sunset Cavalry must reduce the casualties of the troops as much as possible, and it is obvious that a group of Cuman hussars in leather armor and a steel torrent composed of more than 50,000 cathar knights are definitely looking for death, and whether the small number of Cuman light cavalry can stop the steel torrent formed by more than 50,000 heavy cavalry is a questionable question. Under such circumstances, it was certainly impossible for Uda to let his people face the heavy cavalry of the Divine Light Empire head-on.
And after seeing the reaction of the Cuman hussars, Bobby also immediately made the next decision, let the tens of thousands of light lance dragoons who had been entangled in melee combat pursue this army of apologists who had left the battlefield, of course, although the light lancer dragoons can also be used as a charging cavalry to a certain extent, and the light lancer dragoons are equipped with light steel cuirass, which is light in weight but equivalent in defensive power to a half-body plate armor. At the same time, it is also equipped with a cavalry spear in his hand, but this cannot change the crispy characteristics of the light lance dragoon itself, in addition, it must be known that these apologetic knights in front of Lu Dao are a strategic retreat rather than a rout, that is to say, these cavalry are very likely to turn their horses' heads in a short period of time to launch a counterattack, and the light lance dragoons not only have the crispy body of the light cavalry, but also the light lance dragoon because the crotch mount is the reason for the speed dragon, its horse hand-to-hand combat ability is extremely poor (the body of the speed dragon is generally higher than the body of the war horse, But it is not as tall as the black rhinoceros, in this case, if you enter the horse hand-to-hand combat, the lower body of the light lance dragoon that cannot be protected by the knight's shield is easy to be hit by the enemy knight, so the cavalry generally equipped with the speed dragon is even if the horse's hand-to-hand combat ability is strong, as long as it faces a knight with some experience, it is bound to lose, therefore, the light lance dragoon bullies the cavalry troops that also belong to the light cavalry, and in the face of the heavy cavalry, as long as the crossbow arrows on the body are used up, then there is only the share of turning around and escaping).
Under such circumstances, if the Divine Light Empire suddenly made those cathar knights turn around, then the light spear dragoons on this side would be doomed, so Bobby asked these light spear dragoons to turn around and evacuate as soon as the crossbow arrows on their bodies were used up.
At the same time, Bobby also began to let the heavy cavalry of the Great Empire on the battlefield, including the centaur knights, begin to encircle and annihilate the remaining tens of thousands of heavy cavalry and light cavalry of the Holy Light Empire whose number has been sharply reduced to less than 10,000, of course, because he does not want to expand the casualties, so Bobby asked the troops not to encircle on all sides, but to leave a breakthrough for the side of the Holy Light Empire while surrounding.
