Chapter 50
"Be careful on your head. Be careful of defense!"
The captain of the Ursus's generals rushed to the torn side position to assist in defense. The soldiers under him roared forward to block the rushing cavalry. The captain drew his sword and raised his head to join the team that resisted the cavalry. However, when he looked up, he immediately found a trace of abnormality in the sky.
The moonlight, which was not bright, was covered by a black shadow the moment he looked up.
The captain of the generals of the Ursus suddenly turned pale.
"Rise the shield, raise the shield!"
"The front rushes forward and entangles the cavalry, and the back stops me and raises my shield."
The flat-fired crossbow arrows tear open the enemy's side positions, the cavalry is responsible for consolidating the cracks, the infantry slowly presses in, and the longbow in the rear pulls the strings to cover it.
The standard Gripen Legion attack tactics was produced by the front army of the New Minister Legion in actual combat.
Although the connection in each step is still a bit slow, if the main force of the Gripen Legion came to show it, it would not give the enemy the chance to advance and try to fill the gap. When the cavalry charges, the longbower will launch an arrow rain to cover it at the same time.
However, it is not easy for these new recruits of the New Minister Army to operate in this way under the supervision of the captain, battalion commander and battlefield commanders at all levels.
Moreover, the enemy's vision is blocked at night, and this flaw does not affect the overall situation at all.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
The dense crossbow arrows covered the moonlight, forming dense death traps from the heads of the governors. A group of Ethus soldiers who were not in a hurry to defend or simply did not carry an oak shield with them fell down. After the arrow disappeared for a wave, the Ethus people who had no time to breathe found that another wave of arrows appeared immediately.
The eastern position of the Esos was completely panicked. Some guys who had just escaped the deathly rain of arrows put down their shields that had been pierced with arrows in fear. Before they could be glad, they saw a group of extremely tall and burly cavalrymen who screamed and charged forward.
They had just filled a gap and tear out a big hole again. Thormond rode a big green horse and entered the hinterland of the battlefield on the east side of the Esos. In front of him were countless trembling enemies. No, it was not the enemy, but the best military achievements of honor. You can easily obtain the merits to be harvested by stretching out your gun.
Hundreds of cavalry took advantage of the chaos of the army and clamped their spears under their ribs, and easily tore the eastern army of Esos into pieces like sharp blades.
It was sorted out by arrows and cavalry.
The Esos who could survive in the eastern position were not three ten.
The raid cavalry led by Tormond did not stop charging, and those lucky enemies would be dealt with. The infantrymen in his rear had already lit torches to illuminate the east. Under the flames, the infantrymen with armor underneath advanced forward.
The flames flooded the last long flag of the Esos in the eastern position.
As the formation flag fell down, the morale of the Esos continued to stalemate in the east, and the knights and soldiers no longer fought desperately to attack the central fortifications of the New Minister Army. On the other hand, Kant and William, who were looking at the battlefield, also realized that the situation of the war was tilting towards their own side.
The soldiers of the Esos seemed to have received the order to retreat, and were besieged just now, and the almost dead team of the Thoren people escaped from the dead's arms under the urging of the enemy's retreat.
Joined Kant and headed towards the south hills. The Essos' troops slowly retreated, and they retreated while extinguishing the torches and did not illuminate the targets of the pursuing New Ministries.
"Commander, Essus's army seems to be gathering in the central army. They are retreating. Should we order the entire army to pursue it?" Kanter whispered to ask out the doubts in his heart when he saw William still looking at the battlefield expressionlessly.
"Let the soldiers retreat and clean up the battlefield without chasing them too deeply." William said and turned around and walked towards the command camp.
"No...no pursuit?" Kanter didn't understand.
William's faint and heavy voice came from behind him. "The enemy is smarter than I thought. As soon as the enemy's decline appeared, they began to retreat decisively. Their commander was not panicked at the battle and extinguished the fire. He would definitely trap his subordinates on the retreat road. It is inconvenient to pursue him at night, and if he forced himself to pursue, he would not achieve greater victory. There is no need."
In the desert tomb of the ancestors in the northern border, the majestic gripper flapped his wings and appeared above the soldiers of the Gripen Guard on the mountain forest avenue, leading the team to fly westward.
Lynn joined his guards and got into the idle carriage escorted in the middle of the team.
After entering the wide luxurious carriage, Lynn immediately closed the wooden doors and windows of the carriage.
The sight in the car suddenly became dim. A smokeless stove with a faint red light was placed in the center of the car, making the little rose's cheeks redder, rendering them even more brightly.
Lynn glanced at his woman, sneered, and held it and tapped it twice to the next door of the carriage, and the wheels of the carriage began to squeak.
Xiao Meigui hung the car and stuffed the wine bag with a long time ago into Lin En's hand and said, "You just told me not to ask too much, because there is something wrong with the old man with the shepherd, right?"
Listening to the sound of the wheels turning and the sound of horse hooves riding by the slim bull and thin monkey walking outside the car, Lin En covered the wine bag in his palm, and his blood, which was a little stiff, slowly revived. "What is sheep-herding baby, is it still a matter of whether it is a living thing."
"Not a living thing?" Little Rose Margaret Tyriel widened her eyes, "You mean they may not be human?"
Lin En took a sip of wine and frowned and said, "Where are shepherds in this wilderness? Didn't I tell you? There are graves everywhere, and you will step on the remains of your ancestors wherever you go. It's not surprising that you encounter some strange things.
But don't be afraid. I have heard a saying since I was a child that people are afraid of ghosts, but this ghost is afraid of people seven points. If we don't provoke them, they can't do anything to us. Besides, our team has such subordinates, including Gripen Beasts and Small Gold Bars, and a priestess of the King of Light, Melisandra, is in charge. If we can come to the desolate tomb of our ancestors, if there is a ghost, it is the ghosts who are terrified."
Little Rose recalled the old man holding the hand of the sheep-herding baby, and finally showed a mysterious smile with big yellow teeth at himself and Lin En, and whispered: "How about this matter be told to your priestly yard, aren't you saying that she is just around her who specializes in dealing with these strange things?"
Lynn smiled, put down the wine bag, took Little Rose's hand, covered it with him and patted him, "Don't worry, if Melisandra really has the ability, she will ask herself to mention the situation here on her own initiative. If she can't detect the abnormality, it's useless to tell her. I'm not afraid of those blue-eyed White Walkers who can't be killed outside the frontier, and can still be scared by these nothingness? Besides, if this ancestor's desolate tomb is fine, I still doubt whether those annoying crows are related to this place, and whether Melisandra's judgment is wrong. Now, I believe the judgment of the priests of the King of Light."
