Chapter 368 Battle of Silver Sea Oasis

"Silver Sea Oasis is the biggest oasis around here." Roger on the back of the griffin shouted to Sophia who was not far away: "Go down in a while and give them a good look, just remember not to It's too harsh on civilians."

Speaking of which, after all, Roger was still influenced by those thoughts on Earth, and felt that such enemies should indeed be severely punished, but it would be too much to massacre civilians.After all, in Roger's view, only terrorists can do such a thing as massacre of civilians, and it is really difficult for him to do so.

Although the air was very windy, both Roger and Sophia were not weak, and Roger's words clearly reached Dragon Girl's ears.Sophia gave Roger a surprised look, and then asked with a charming smile, "What if they resist?"

"If you resist..." Roger gritted his teeth fiercely: "Shoot to kill!"

Satisfied with Roger's answer, Sophia smiled domineeringly and said, "Oh hehehehe...you are becoming more and more manly, I like it!"

The griffin flew extremely fast, and the two of them were getting closer and closer to the oasis in front of them as soon as they were talking.In the clear blue sky, two griffins with golden manes were very eye-catching. The guards of the oasis had already discovered the abnormality in the sky, and they desperately blew their horns to call the police.

Since the start of the war, the defensive strength of the Silver Sea Oasis has been greatly weakened, and a legion's strength has been transferred to the border of the Thorne Kingdom in the north.Only some second-line troops remained in the oasis. These soldiers lined up in a panic and prepared to fight, but they did not expect that two griffins landed behind the sand dunes near the oasis.

In order to protect the oasis, the commander of the garrison Monza immediately ordered his soldiers to march forward.Although the two griffins were formidable enemies, it was difficult to take advantage of a half-legion soldier.Monza felt that he could drive the griffin away from the oasis by ordering the legion to charge a few times.

Just now, the griffin was still some distance away from the oasis. The sentinel only noticed two monsters approaching, but they didn't notice that there was still a person riding on the griffin's back.So from Monza to all his soldiers, even the residents of the oasis, thought that what landed were two wild griffins, and they just wanted to settle down on the oasis.None of them thought that a crisis fatal to Yinhai Oasis was imminent.

The combat effectiveness of the desert kingdom's second-line army was mediocre, and the heavily armed soldiers began to pant after running under the scorching sun for a short time.However, under the urging of Monza and other officers, the soldiers still maintained a relatively neat formation and advanced like the top of the dune.

Monza's plan was simple, to have the soldiers climb up the dunes, form and charge straight down, while crossbowmen supported the infantry in the rear.The Griffin is a very intelligent monster, and its habits are not bloodthirsty. After discovering that there are so many human activities in this oasis, it is very likely that it will leave here to find another habitat.

However, when Monza, who was full of confidence, led his men to climb to the top of the sand dune, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.Behind the sand dunes, dozens of steps away, there was an army neatly lined up!The number of this army is at least double that of his side.The heavy spearmen stood in the front in a tight formation, the half-armored swordsmen followed closely behind, and the crossbowmen at the back were all ready to shoot, and the bowstrings of the longbow and heavy crossbow were all tense Tight, just wait for Roger's order to launch a fatal attack.All the soldiers' weapons reflected the dazzling light in the sun, blinding everyone on the dunes.At this moment, Monza felt his mind was blank, completely forgetting what order to give to the soldiers under him.

Roger would not be in a daze like Monza, he had already prepared for it, he waited until the enemy appeared on the top of the dune, and immediately ordered the crossbowman to attack.

Thousands of crossbowmen shot arrows at the same time, and the arrows swept across the sky like locusts covering the sky, and the scene was extremely spectacular.But for the enemies on the dunes, this is not a good thing.Although Monza had reminded his men to pay attention to defense in time, it didn't have much effect.

The combat effectiveness of the Second Line Legion is indeed very weak, and many soldiers' reaction speed after hearing the order is really too slow.Many soldiers were shot by oncoming arrows before they could make any movements.The soldiers of the first-line army in the desert country are not equipped with armor, let alone the second-line army.Arrows shot at soldiers who were not wearing armor at all, causing unsurprisingly huge casualties.Many soldiers fell to the ground screaming, and the originally not very neat team became even more chaotic.

Seeing the plight of their comrades around them, the uninjured soldiers also panicked.Some people still barely stick to their posts, while others are already looking around nervously, planning to find a way to escape.

However, Monza remained calm. While letting his officers control the soldiers, he shouted hoarsely, "Bowmen, shoot!"

Monza's idea is simple, since the enemy's crossbowmen can cause huge casualties, so can the crossbowmen on their side.What's more, the crossbowman on his side still has the advantage of the terrain, and the lethality should be stronger after launching the attack.

However, Monza has been serving as the commander of the second-line army, and even he himself did not realize that his grasp of the battle situation is very bad.The short bow of the desert archer is not strong enough, coupled with the amazing defensive ability of the heavy spear, even if it has the advantage of the terrain, it can't cause any damage to the enemy.

Although the momentum of the sharp arrows shot by the desert archers was quite astonishing, most of them were blocked by the shields and armor of the heavy spearmen.Only some unlucky soldiers were injured by sharp arrows piercing through the gaps in the armor, but such things were rare after all, so it didn't have any impact on Roger's formation.

On the contrary, the crossbowmen under Roger took advantage of this time to launch two more blows, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers under Monza.Hundreds of people have fallen to the ground, and even Monza himself has been injured.

Monza, who had an arrow in his thigh, collapsed to the ground.Seeing that even the main general fell to the ground, the morale of the soldiers fell to the bottom.Most of the soldiers are already full of fighting spirit, and even the officers feel that they will lose this battle.Some soldiers even dropped their weapons and began to flee, making the scene even more chaotic.

Roger could tell from the disorganized formation of the enemy that these guys were already on the verge of collapse, and just a little more pressure could make them completely defeated.So without hesitation, he called out all the light cavalry behind the enemy, and ordered these soldiers to start charging.

All the light infantry guarding the Yinhai Oasis suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind them, and all these soldiers panicked.Although the opponent is also a light cavalry, the light infantry has no hope of victory against the upper cavalry.What's more, the desert warriors still have their backs to the enemy, and their own morale has fallen to the bottom, and they don't have the courage to fight the enemy at all.Roger's light cavalry became the last straw that crushed the enemy. Many desert warriors shouted "Cavalry!" in horror, and fled in all directions.

In all fairness, if these more than 2000 desert warriors formed a tight formation, they would indeed pose a serious threat to Roger's [-] light cavalry.Even if the light cavalry can break up the enemy's formation in the end, it will definitely pay a heavy price.But now Roger didn't have to worry about his cavalry, they scattered across the desert like hungry wolves driving a flock of sheep, and started chasing and killing the fleeing enemies.

The battle in this world is like this, as long as one side's morale completely collapses, all the other side needs to do is to clean up the battlefield.Roger ordered all the soldiers to chase and flee the enemy, as long as the opponent was a soldier, they would be shot and killed.

More than 2000 enemies are all scattered in the desert, and it is not easy to drive them all out.After all, only the light cavalry under Roger can catch up with the enemy relatively easily, and it is not so easy for other heavy spearmen and bust armored soldiers to catch up with the enemy's light infantry.Although these fighters are all physically strong and tall, but after all, they all carry equipment that weighs dozens of kilograms, and they are in the desert terrain that is not suitable for running fast. Light infantry in sackcloth are faster.

As some enemies fled further and further away, Roger couldn't sit still anymore.He really didn't have the heart to massacre civilians, but he had no pressure to destroy the opponent's soldiers on the battlefield.These are precious soul powers, and they must not be wasted like this.

So Roger, who was frugal by nature, summoned all the hippogryphs and griffins without hesitation, and let these flying familiars join the ranks of hunting the enemies.More than a hundred hippogryphs and dozens of griffins flew in the air, swooping down from time to time to wipe out the fleeing soldiers, making the battlefield empty like an air show, dazzled Roger.

Under the attack from both ground and air, the fleeing desert fighters had no hope of surviving at all.But after a while, all the enemies have been wiped out by Roger.Except for his soldiers, there was no one alive near the sand dunes.

The discipline of Roger's soldiers was extremely strict. After the battle, they all gathered around him without saying a word, forming a neat formation.During the whole process, there was only the "creaking" sound of soldiers stepping on the sand, and other than that, there was only the sound of howling wind, which made the battlefield, which was still full of people just now, suddenly become very quiet.

Roger glanced at the soldiers behind him expressively, then smiled slightly at Sophia beside him and said, "Beautiful lady, would you like to take a walk with me to the oasis ahead?"

"I am very willing!" Sophia also gave Roger a charming smile, and the two walked towards the Silver Sea Oasis arm in arm. Behind them were thousands of corpses scattered all over the place. eye-catching!
