The war has been going on so far, if you look at it from the perspective of a bystander, the sun does not set has actually achieved victory, first of all, the phalanx of the allied side has been squeezed and deformed by the heavy cavalry troops of the sun does not set, and it has become a huge irregular circle, and now the allies look no different from the battle of the trapped beasts.

Secondly, from the perspective of the battle situation, although the side that never sets on the sun sacrificed about one legion of elite knights at the beginning, which can be described as heavy casualties, but in the following short period of less than 20 minutes, the dominant Allied forces lost as many as 2 legions of heavy cavalry under the surprise attack of the centaurs, and these two corps are also composed of the elite of all the heavy cavalry units of the Griffin Empire in the Allied army, and the quality is even higher than that of the Templars lost by Sunset. Judging from the increase in the number of battle losses, the current death toll of the Allied forces is 1.3 times higher than that of the sunset, and this double speed will continue to increase with the arrival of the centaur warriors and the external auxiliary cavalry.

Although not all Allied heavy cavalry were surrounded, even if there was no order from within the Allied forces from the bird's view, there were still some knights of light and griffons who broke through the encirclement of the centaurs, and these numbers were still increasing, but these heavy cavalry still couldn't escape the fate of death after breaking out.

You must know that there are as many as 200,000 light cavalry wandering around the periphery of the battlefield this time, in addition to the Cuman archers of more than 100,000 people, who are responsible for chasing and clearing the Elite rangers and knight servants on the periphery, including the black iron heavy archers of the two corps and the auxiliary cavalry of the 10 legions, they are all pouring fire into the encirclement, and swim in a small phalanx mode to kill those fish that slip through the net.

The auxiliary cavalry who were responsible for the roaming were equipped with many auxiliary weapons. When killing the fish that slipped through the net, they all took off the Mo forging crossbow and replaced it with an armor-piercing javelin, although the armor-piercing javelin that the sun never sets is a bit bulky, the effective distance is only a few tens of meters. Even with the assistance of war horses, they can only invest 40 or 50 meters away, but it is completely enough to deal with the heavy cavalry.

The new auxiliary cavalry of the auxiliary cavalry regiment of the sun never sets after discovering the target, with the help of mobility to approach the Allied heavy cavalry ambush, and then throw them all at once, although these bulky armor-piercing javelins are short but absolutely deadly, and can even penetrate those wooden baffles a few centimeters thick in a short distance, not to mention the steel armor that is less than 1 centimeter thick. Even if those experienced heavy cavalry know how to raise the knight's shield in their hands to block the javelin, these armor-piercing javelins can completely connect the hands of these heavy cavalry with the knight's shield forever, as long as 3 or 5 armor-piercing javelins are not thrown empty. An Allied knight will fall.

The experienced cavalry of the sun never set was able to use the maneuver of their horses to go around the flanks or backs of the Allied knights fleeing the encirclement while pursuing the Allied heavy cavalry alone, and then throw deadly armor-piercing javelins, even if they made a mistake. Because each auxiliary cavalry had at least 4 javelins on their body. Three of the heavy javelins were used to increase the pursuit of light javelins, which was enough for the auxiliary cavalry to kill a heavy cavalry at close range with a javelin.

As Prince Uda's personal guard, although the black iron archers are not highly mobile, as long as they reach a certain number, they are enough to become a moving turret, and after Prince Uda led the Cuman tribe to become the subjects of the Sun Never Setting Empire, the weapons and tactics of their personal guards have become even more diverse.

Now, in addition to the finest armor-piercing arrows in the Empire, and each of them is a sophisticated compound bow made from a master bowmaker, the Black Iron Archer Cavalry is also equipped with an arrow called a heavy arrow. The body of this arrow, that is, the body of the arrow, looks like an iron pipe, and the head is not very sharp. But it can indeed be used by archers with amazing arm strength to restrain cavalry.

Because the heavy arrow can shoot down the cavalry in the charge at an effective range, although it may not be able to kill, but as long as the heavy arrow hits the body of the enemy cavalry, the huge impact force and the movement speed of its own war horse can definitely make the knights fall off the war horse, and the knight who falls down will basically be trampled to death by the war horse, even if he is not dead, the knight who has lost the war horse may actually be less effective than an ordinary heavy infantry warrior, so the heavy arrow has begun to spread in all the bow and arrow units in the army on which the sun never sets, And this time, the black iron heavy archers of the prince's guard of the Cuman tribe made their official appearance on the battlefield.

Heavy arrows have a shorter range than armor-piercing arrows, and the way to maximize them is to rain them down on the enemy, which may seem to make them very difficult on the battlefield, but in fact this is not the case in actual combat, because as heavy cavalry units that use high mobility and charging power to destroy the enemy, they prefer to target ranged and lightly armed units, followed by heavy troops, and finally pikemen units that expose their sides and back.

Now, due to the mobility and flexibility of the heavy cavalry, it is impossible for those centaur warriors who seem to have their backs exposed, and the allied heavy cavalry who broke through knew that if they really turned around and killed back, not to mention whether they would be killed by those tall and mighty centaur warriors, they themselves exposed their backs to those light cavalry who never set when they turned around, and when the time came, it was estimated that they would fall to the ground before they let the war horse under their crotch run, and their backs would also be full of arrows.

And it is impossible to choose those auxiliary cavalry, after all, these guys are very mobile, even if they are basically shooting at the stand, but all the Allied heavy cavalry believe that as soon as they turn their target to them, these guys will run away in smoke and then fly themselves to death by flying a kite.

So at this time, those heavy archers who seem to run at a similar speed as themselves fall into the eyes of these allies, you must know that there is an unwritten rule about archers in the arms, that is, even if it is a heavy archer, it is impossible for these guys to win the cavalry in close combat, and it is impossible to play cavalry charge, because these heavy archers are restrained by those who also hold long-range weapons and light cavalry, because the weapons in the hands of these guys basically can't hurt themselves, And the ranged weapons in your own hands can kill them.

"Your Excellency, Commander. More than half of the wounded soldiers of the 11th regiment! Ask for assistance from friendly forces in the rear! ”

"Your Excellency, General! The enemy has torn a hole in the rear, and if they don't send troops, those centaurs will have to wipe out the 7th Corps! ”

"Commander! The Allied 6th Army Corps was attacked by enemy long-range fire. There are currently heavy casualties! ”

……….

As time passed, more and more news unfavorable to the Allied side reached the ears of the Allied high-brass, and the Allied high-level could be said to be powerless against this, perhaps judging from the number of dead and other predictable figures, the current losses of the Sunset side and the Allied forces were only 1 to 1.4, and the situation of this battle, which had been fought for several hours, was basically the same for the losses of the forces of both sides.

But in many ways, the Allies have been exposed to their decadence. First of all, in terms of command, although the Allied side has a large number of heavy cavalry units, due to the tactical guidance of the sun never sets, the heavy cavalry of the Allied forces are basically fighting on their own. And the formation is crowded and chaotic.

The more crowded and chaotic the troops, the more likely they are to be disrupted over time, even though the Knights of Light and Griffons are extremely high-morale units and are unlikely to be defeated. But over time, their combat effectiveness will gradually decline. Because when the time comes, it will become an orderly sun on the periphery, and the troops will work together to attack an allied knight who fights only on his own strength on the battlefield.

Secondly, the heavy super-heavy plate armor will make the allied knights consume a lot of body, coupled with the crossbow arrows and heavy arrows that are constantly falling in the air, the allied knights may eventually let the sun never set and win a decisive victory, but their own soldiers will kill all the troops, not to mention that those generals of the Holy Light Empire who know the situation in the rear do not agree, even the Griffin Empire does not agree, because everyone present knows. If all the cavalry units here are killed, the combat power of the cavalry units in the two countries will definitely drop by two-thirds. And in case, if it is true to hold Maginot and counterattack in case it does not fall one day, then the only thing you can do in the battle of your own territory is to play turtle shell tactics.

"Order a retreat! The whole army turned the target to the rear and broke through with all its might! "Although the commander from the Griffin Empire knew that this order would definitely make him lose face, and even lose his official position or even his head because of the battle situation he entered, he was also not a pedantic person, and he knew that the only thing he could do now was to put the combat power in his hand as much as possible on this battlefield.

And after the allied knights got the order, except for some red-eyed guys who killed the Holy Light Knight, the rest of the legion commanders and soldiers were immediately ordered, and then under the command of the trumpeter, they rushed towards the direction when they entered the battlefield, this is the execution ability of the army at the level of the Great Empire, and this almost perfect execution ability even amazed Prince Uda who was watching the battle on the periphery of the battlefield.

"It is worthy of being the army of the most powerful human empire in the King Continent, and if it were to be replaced by the troops of other empires, it would not be so easy to complete the transfer." Looking at the torrent of steel of the Allied forces that broke through the defense line of the centaur warriors and broke through to the north at the U-turn, Prince Uda sighed and said: "But this is okay, if the allies hold out longer, then it will not be us who will win." ”

In fact, as Prince Uda said, if these allies had held out for a longer time, the victorious side would no longer have been the empire on which the sun never sets, which seemed to have achieved absolute superiority, why? Because the sun never sets, the Empire has thrown all its forces into battle, and the Allies have not.

Under the command of Uda , except for the two Hospitallers who were still wandering around the front-line battlefield as a response to emergencies, basically every knight and cavalry of all the Sunset Legion really took up arms at this time to fight against the Allied steel torrent with a number of 400,000 people: the two major knights of the Sunset and some special knights were staggered and entrenched with the enemy after luring the enemy into the depths, and on the flanks and rear of the battlefield, all the centaur warriors were constantly squeezing the chaotic phalanx of the allies, Every centaur warrior could fight the Allied knights, and even outside the battlefield, the Black Iron Cavalry Regiment and the Auxiliary Cavalry Regiment were throwing arrows and javelins into the circle, and the Cuman archers were chasing down the Allied light cavalry units.

On the other hand, although the Allied side is embattled, in fact, in the center of its chaotic phalanx, at least nearly 200,000 Allied knights have put on a fighting posture. But it was impossible for them to come into contact with the heavy cavalry units of the Sunset Empire in a short period of time, or even be harassed by the light cavalry units of the Sunset Empire with long-range weapons.

If we look at the entire theater of engagement on the battlefield, the current situation is actually like this: the sun never sets, and the whole army is like a madman to carry out a fierce attack on the Allied forces surrounded by him. and use all the hole cards, while the besieged and central allies form a turtle shell, and then use refueling tactics to confront the fierce Imperial cavalry army that never sets.

Although the Allied side used the tactics of adding fuel to the tank, which should be considered a tactical error, the Sun Never Sets Empire did use the worse "no reserve forces to attack with all their might" play, and obviously if the Allied side continued to insist, then the victor would be the Allies at all.

But the fact is that under such a good premise, the Allied side chose to withdraw. Exposing all your backs to the sun never sets is exactly like choosing to surrender when you are about to win, a choice that only a fool can make, but this choice itself can also be said to be a completely occurring choice.

Earlier it was said that the Allies would win. That's because the speaker is speaking from the perspective of a bystander, and the Allies are now an authority, and they are blind and confused: the Allied commander's team is in the middle of the army, and it is also in the center and rear. It stands to reason that even if you choose to fight, you should be able to judge the surrounding battle situation with the naked eye. However, the surprise attack on the periphery of the centaurs of the Empire, coupled with the chaos of the Sunset troops in front of the Sunset, deliberately exchanged their lives for the battle formations on the Allied side, and finally led the Allied commanders in the army to rely on the news conveyed by the heralds to judge the battle situation, instead of standing in the distance and borrowing binoculars to gain insight into the battlefield like Wuda, which made the command system of the Allied side blind.

And Uda ordered the whole army to attack frantically, regardless of the cost of the onslaught on the Allied forces after completing the siege, so that the commanders of the Allied forces have been in a state of understanding after hearing the news of the heralds: the losses on their side are increasing, and at the same time, the Allied forces have begun to gradually ignore the battle losses of the side on which the sun never sets. As a result, the Allied command team felt that in fact the battle had been lost, that they had been surrounded and annihilated, and that there was only hope if they broke through the encirclement.........

Of course, it stands to reason that if the commander of the Allied forces only needs to calm down a little at this time, he will wake up to the problem. But the problem is that the Allied side will not be at all now: first, the place where they are fighting this time is not on the territory of their own country but on another continent, and the Allied commanders subconsciously have a sense of crisis about everything, especially after learning that the Empire of the Sun Never Sets has a centaur tribe, which is a force that is considered native to the southern region of the Central Continent.

Secondly, the number of auxiliary cavalry in the sun never set was 40,000 more, which made many allied generals have to guess whether the strength of the sun does not set on other aspects has increased, and if it really increases, it is still a heavy cavalry force.

At the same time, he has been driven away by the Imperial cavalry troops of the Sunset for a long time, although the allied side knows that even if he is driven away by the Sunset Light Cavalry, these guys will not be able to do substantial damage to themselves, but! This still made the allies have some shadows on the Sunset Army, and subconsciously even admitted that the Sunset Cavalry was stronger than their own.

Finally, and most importantly, the generals of the command team subconsciously did not want their troops to lose any more: the reason for the Holy Light Empire's side was the simplest, they had already received the news that they were going to withdraw their troops, in fact, if the sun did not set and pursued them with all their strength after discovering their intention to retreat, the army of the Holy Light Empire would have stayed in their own country's transport fleet by now; The Griffon Empire itself does not, but the idea of retreating after being attacked on the flank also grows from the bottom of my heart, and of course it is not impossible to describe this idea as unhappy.

What is the reason why the Griffon Empire entered the war, to contain the Sunset Empire, and at the same time to "assist" the Sunset Empire to kill the troops of the Divine Light Empire, but now? The most elite cavalry units of the entire two legions all died at the hands of the centaur troops of the Sunset Empire, and the Holy Light Empire only lost an ordinary cavalry regiment used as cannon fodder.

Now the Griffon Empire is not happy, and with the Centaurs' crazy attack on the Griffin Empire's troops (as I said before, the commander of the Griffin Empire mainly arranges the troops belonging to the Griffon Empire in the rear and flanks, so now the battle with the Centaurs is basically the Griffin Cavalry), the Griffin Empire began to feel at a loss, so to put it ugly, the group of gamblers in the Griffin Empire were unhappy after they found out that they were actually going to lose their capital this time, and they stopped playing if they were not happy, and they didn't play. Of course, he just walked away with the remaining principal.

Of course, there is actually another point, that is, these allied troops who have been accustomed to the sunset troops subconsciously think that this war is actually no different from before, the sun does not set on the side to occupy a little sweetness, and their side has not lost much is just to change the camp.

As a result of these factors, the Allies finally chose to retreat, turning around from the road to victory and heading towards the abyss of defeat that was originally behind them. (To be continued......)
