Chapter 896 Battle of Otto 3
Outside Otto City, the first position of the West Route Army.
At this time, Alan and Enli, who were located in the center of the 1st formation, were sitting on their respective war horses, looking at the Sheeran army formation in the distance.
The air was clearly full of solemnity, but the two were still chatting calmly.
"I didn't expect you to take the initiative to click my name and let me be your deputy general." Enley said, throwing helpless eyes at Allen.
As soon as Enley finished speaking, Allen chuckled a few times and then said:
"What I said to coach Willie just now is the truth."
"There are 20,000 soldiers in the first formation. I have a capable and familiar person to assist me. I can command it much more easily."
"Among the many knights in the Western Route Army, you are the ones who are you and me the most familiar. Who am I looking for if I don't look for?"
"What an honor, I am so valued by you."
After replying to Allen in a joke tone, Enli moved his stiff neck and spine, making a series of "clicks" sounds that make people's teeth sore.
"Didn't you promised the coach that you would defeat Sheeran's army before noon? It's already 10:19 am and there's not much time left, let's start."
"Ah." After saying that, Allen nodded, "It's time to start."
"What do you want to fight?" Enley asked.
"Let's just use the normal style of play first."
After saying that, Allen waved the order flag and conveyed the order to attack to the generals and soldiers of the first formation.
The total force of the first formation is 24,000.
18,000 infantry, bowmen, 2,000 cavalry, and 4,000 iron armored scholars who had just been transferred from the third formation to the first formation.
After the order for the attack was issued, the infantry of the 1st formation slowly advanced in an orderly formation with the sound of snare drums.
After the generals and soldiers of the first formation started to move, the Sheeran army on the opposite side also started to move.
The two armies slowly approached, but the formation of the Sheeran army was obviously not as neat as that of the Britannian army.
Every time the two armies approached, the murderous aura on the battlefield became stronger, and the soldiers became more nervous.
After the Sheeran army entered the shooting range of the arrow, Alan waved the order flag again, and then the generals and soldiers of the first formation launched an extremely flexible change of formation.
The infantry who were originally walking in the front quickly retreated.
While the infantry retreated, the crossbowmen stepped forward in time and filled in the empty space left by the infantry after the infantry retreated.
The commanders and soldiers of the Sheeran Army opposite were obviously lacking in combat experience, and the sudden change of the Britannian Army caught them off guard.
When the generals and soldiers of the Sheeran army were caught off guard and at a loss, black locusts rose from the Britannia army and smashed them hard into the Sheeran army's formation.
The sound of Teya penetrating the body and the groans of pain were endless.
The Sheeran Army was extremely lacking in equipment, especially bows and crossbows.
The Sheeran army, which lacked the crossbow, did not have enough firepower to launch a counterattack against the hunting army.
The Lord of Otto City, who was commanding the Sheeran Army, just gritted his teeth and let the soldiers continue to rush forward and fight with the Britannian Army.
As long as you can fight with the Britannian army, the Britannian army's rain of arrows will naturally stop.
Therefore, under the order of the Lord of Otto City, the soldiers of the Sheeran army turned a blind eye to their companions who were shot to death and ran forward desperately, trying to get closer to the Britannian army.
As the Sheeran army charged desperately, they finally rushed to the front of the Britannian army.
However, the waves of arrow rain just now have caused 23,000 casualties to the Sheeran army. Of course, most of them are only shot by arrows, and few people are actually shot to death.
But these people who were shot were more troubled to Sheeran Army.
Because of the wailing sounds of the wounded soldiers, they could greatly impact the morale of the Sheeran army.
The waves of arrow rains just now not only caused considerable casualties to the Sheilan army, but also successfully disrupted their formation, making their charge momentum not as fierce as before.
After the Sheeran army approached, Allen waved the order flag again, asked the crossbowmen to retreat and replace the infantry who had just retreated to the back.
The infantrymen who came back to the front of the military formation roared, and then waved their weapons like a group of tigers, and started a fierce battle with the Sheeran army.
For a moment, blood waves rolled and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Allen and Enley remained behind to fight. Only 10,000 infantry and crossbowmen rushed up in the first wave. The remaining soldiers were used as reserves to deal with various situations that might occur at any time.
This Sheeran army was temporarily pulled up by the Lord of Otto City. The composition of its soldiers mainly comes from the defenders of the surrounding cities and the temporarily recruited men.
In terms of combat effectiveness, this temporary pieced together army naturally cannot be an opponent of the Knights of the Britannian Empire.
Although the Sheeran army that rushed up to fight with the Britannian army now had more than 40,000 people, several times the number of the Britannian army that was currently fighting them, the Sheeran army still retreated in the face of the Britannian army's sharp offensive.
The front was pushed horizontally towards Otto City.
Within less than half an hour after the war started, the Sheeran army showed some defeat.
Alan, who had been observing the situation of the battle, silently handed the flag in his hand to Enli beside him.
"What are you doing?" Enley asked at Allen while playing with the flag that had just been stuffed into her hand.
"The infantry and crossbowmen of the 1st Formation are temporarily left to you to command." Allen pulled the reins in his hand, turned his horse's head and walked slowly towards the direction where the cavalry team was. "I'll go and send a thunder strike to the Sheeran army."
"Cavalette... Well, I understand. Leave the command of infantry and crossbowmen to me."
Allen has always been good at commanding cavalry.
Not only is he good at commanding cavalry, but he is also very good at leading cavalry to charge into battle himself.
The first formation had only 2,000 cavalrymen. Under the leadership of Allen, the entire army attacked, and went around to the side of the main battlefield, preparing to launch a fierce attack on the side of the Sheeran army.
Under the leadership of Allen, these 2,000 cavalry slowly increased their horse speed to the limit.
Although this cavalry team only has 2,000 people, I don’t know if it was because Allen led them to take the lead in the charge. When these 2,000 cavalry charged, they brought a strong sense of oppression with dark clouds.
Before the enemy formation was reached, the strong murderous aura had already arrived at the battlefield first, forcing many Sheeran generals to lose their courage.
As soon as the cavalry team entered the enemy formation, they were ripping open the enemy's formation without any effort, as if they were tearing a piece of fragile white paper.
In the blink of an eye, Allen led the cavalry tore a big hole in the middle of the enemy's army and divided the Sheeran army one by one.
