Imperial Crown.

Chapter 321 King of the Battlefield
"Don't panic, don't panic! Listen to my orders and retreat slowly!"

Sean shouted orders, trying to stabilize the formation, but his army still fell into chaos.

Under the poisonous fog, no one can remain sane.

Sean's men, wrapped in thick fog, just wanted to escape and could only escape!

However, except for a few lucky ones, most people can only rush around like headless flies and then put themselves in front of the enemy.

For Sean's army, this poisonous fog was like hell; but for the orphans who had taken the snake-tongue fruit in advance, it was the best hunting ground for harvesting lives.

The enemies here can't even open their eyes, let alone defend or counterattack.

The long sword can always easily pierce the vital points, and the long spear can always leave a clear bloody hole on the opponent's body.

Outside the poisonous cloud, Sean's vision was blocked and he could not see anything, but he could hear the clear screams.

And as time went on, the screams began to become less and less!
Taking a look at the 500 heavy cavalrymen who were ready to move not far away, Sean knew that he might not be able to achieve the established tactical goals.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Sean loudly ordered:
"Retreat 200 meters and regroup!!"

"Messenger, go report to Earl Duduo. I can't hold on any longer here!"

A messenger received the order and rushed towards the central army.

Sean's orders were passed down level by level, and the entire team evacuated to the north, finally gradually getting out of the range of the poisonous smoke.

When the soldiers in the poisonous fog heard the movement of the large army, they finally understood the direction and rushed out one after another.

Some were lucky enough and did not inhale too much toxic smoke. Although their eyes were still blurry, they were still able to move independently after escaping.

But there are some that are much more miserable.

Their faces were covered in blood and tears, their eyes could no longer be opened, their eyelids and eyeballs stuck together; even if they opened their eyes, there was only a mess of blood and flesh underneath.

What’s worse, if you run a few steps out of the poisonous smoke, you will fall to the ground and die with convulsions all over your body.

Their skin was dyed green by the poisonous fog, their purple blood vessels stood out one by one, and dark green blood foam spewed out of their mouths.

Sean's hand silently tightened the reins:
"..."

He originally had 2000 soldiers under his command.

But now, after four rounds of spear throwing and this round of poisonous fog attack, there are only less than 1500 people left.

The staff reduction is close to 1/4!!!

Moreover, even among the remaining 1500 people, nearly 300 were affected by the poisonous fog and could not recover their combat capabilities in a short period of time.

It just so happens that only about 100 people caused this kind of damage.

What a shame.

At this moment, the 500 heavy cavalry who had always been closely watched by Sean finally moved!
The horses' hooves slowly began to accelerate, rushing towards the left wing of Duduo's army.

"Pass my order, form a defensive formation." Sean shouted, "Follow those guys closely!"

It is now impossible to stop these heavy cavalry.

But if you can keep up, you can show some attitude.

But just as Sean's order was passed down, before the formation could be changed, Heyaz led more than a hundred orphans to rush out from the poisonous cloud.

Sean thought that the enemy's surprise force had already gained the advantage and should have retreated under the cover of the poisonous cloud.

Now you dare to rush up!
And it was such a funny formation.

It looks like a circular formation, but the formation is not dense and the defensive ability is worrying; if it is a group charge, the spearmen are behind the sword and shield soldiers.

"Do you really think I'm that easy to bully?!" Sean was so angry that he waved his hands vigorously:
"Don't worry about those heavy cavalry, kill these bastards first!"

Sean's troops suffered heavy casualties, and were all furious about having been on the defensive all along.

Now that they received Sean's order, they immediately formed a battle formation and launched a charge towards Hoyaz and others!

Even though the losses were heavy, Sean still had more than 1200 available soldiers, which was 10 times the number of Hoyaz and others.

Hoyaz and others had just gone through a round of charge and shooting, and their physical strength was declining now.

Sean's men were all full of energy and were holding their breath to get back the upper hand!

Facing the oncoming Sean army, Hoyaz slowly clenched the sword and shield in his hands - which were just seized from Sean's army.

One position behind him, Lennon and Banks stood on his left and right, each holding a spear in his hand.

Now, all orphans stand in this position.

The sword and shield soldiers are in front, and the spearmen are behind.

There were three people in a group, and each group formed a larger group to form a large circle.

Sean's troops advanced through the smoke and dust, and the two sides fought fiercely!
Hoyaz raised his shield; on both sides behind him, Banks and Lennon stretched out their spears, one of them deflected the shield of the sword-and-shield soldier on the opposite side, and the other opened a bloody hole in the throat of the sword-and-shield soldier!
Another sword and shield soldier took advantage of the gap and rushed towards Hoyaz!
But just when he was halfway through the charge, a long spear stabbed out from the side and pierced through the ribs of the sword and shield soldier, killing him on the spot!
Similar scenes were repeated outside the circle.

The smell of blood and screams spread across the battlefield!
Raven called this battle formation the "Plum Blossom Formation".

There are at least three people in a group, and when there are more people, they can be linked together to form a circular formation called the "Big Plum Blossom Formation", watching over and helping each other.

As long as they cooperate properly, it will be an unbreakable tactic against light infantry!

Sean also saw the power of this battle formation.

Riding on his warhorse, he could clearly see how his soldiers rushed forward and then lost their lives one by one.

Two of them held spears and one held a sword and shield.

One spear is used to harass the enemy, and the other spear is used to kill the enemy. The sword and shield soldiers are responsible for protection and provide backup.

The coordination is exquisite and tacit, and each group covers each other. This level of training is simply the elite among the elite.

Blood kept splashing, dyeing Heyaz and others bloody, but they were unable to break through the seemingly weak line of defense!
"If I had crossbowmen at this time..." Sean clearly saw the flaw in this formation: "Or, a team of light cavalry--"

Either one of them can tear this line of defense apart.

But now, he has nothing in his hands!

How about going up and trying it yourself?

Sean himself is a second-level knight. If he can rush in as the arrow, he may be able to defeat the enemy's mere hundred people.

but……

A trace of fear emerged in Sean's heart.

With the combat power of this team of a hundred people, is it true that there are no extraordinary people among them?

"Forget it." Sean shook his head.

If his soldiers died, so be it. He himself would not take that kind of risk.

"Stop the attack and surround them!" Sean gave the order again.

Sean's soldiers were already afraid of Hoyaz and others.

Now that the order had been given, they all retreated in a circle at the same time.

Between them and Hoyaz and the others was a crimson circle of flesh, blood, and corpses.

Hoyaz did not order a counterattack either. Changing the formation now while surrounded by the enemy would be the stupidest move.

What's more, the purpose of his trip has been achieved - to liberate the heavy cavalry!

It depends on the hyenas!

On the other side, Du Duo also received Sean's report, and his heart suddenly jumped:
"Immediately lead my guards to support the left wing, go!"

But it was too late.

When Du Duo's personal guard captain led 500 personal guards to the left wing, they saw 500 heavy cavalry that had already charged up! The majestic war horses galloping at full speed were fully armored, like a giant steel beast.

And there are not just one, but 500 such steel behemoths!
They were carrying cavalrymen wearing full helmets and armor!
The rumbling sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground was like an earthquake, causing the gravel on the ground to tremble!

On the east side of the battlefield, the left wing of Du Duo's army and the right wing of the Eagle Army were entangled with each other.

With three times the number, Duduo's army's left wing semi-encircled the Eagle Army, and also exposed their flanks to the heavy cavalry without any protection.

"Spearmen, spearmen, go ahead, line up on the spot and stop them!!!" The commander of the left wing of Du Duo's army gave the order hastily.

However, this instruction only brought a wave of confusion.

How could it be so easy to change formation during a fierce battle?

Moreover, the 500 heavy cavalry led by Hyena had already pounced on their flank less than 300 meters away!
For a heavy cavalry marching in a charging manner and pushing its speed to the limit, how long would it take to cover 300 meters?
15 seconds.

There may be teams on the mainland that can complete formation changes within 15 seconds, but Du Duo’s army does not have that ability.

The hyena sat on the clawed yellow flying lightning that Raven had specially cultivated for him and raised his axe.

The desire to kill is rising!
He took the lead and rushed towards the flank of Du Duo's army's left wing!
The soldier in front of him seemed to be about to put his spear upright on the ground to block the attack, but before he could put it firmly in place, the axe in the hyena's hand came whistling towards him.

The spear was broken into two pieces, his chest was smashed down, and then the whole person was thrown into the air like a broken bag!
The warhorse continued to charge forward, trampling yet another Du Duo soldier under its feet with unparalleled momentum. The heavy horse hooves directly pressed the man's internal organs out of his mouth!

The third and fourth enemies were knocked away by their horses, and the weapons in their hands could not even leave a mark on their vests.

The fifth one howled and stepped aside.

And this is also the beginning of the heavy cavalry tearing the battlefield apart!
The heavy cavalry formed a spearhead formation and, following the hyena's arrow, wedged fiercely into Duduo's left wing!

This is a real steel torrent!
Wherever they went, the escapees could barely survive.

Anyone who dares to stop it will be turned into a pile of meat with the crisp sound of broken bones and tendons!
The hyena shouted loudly and attacked every enemy who dared to stand in his way.

He kept swinging the giant axe in his hand, and with the help of the power of the galloping horse, no matter who was blocking his way, whether it was a soldier or an officer, a mortal or a supernatural being, no one could be his match!
Finally, the Hyena saw nothing in front of him and suddenly realized that he had killed his way through the left wing of Duduo's army!

After running for a while, the hyena slowly slowed down and turned its head, and saw its own results.

500 heavy cavalry cut a seemingly unhealable wound on the left wing of Du Duo's army, leaving behind a bloody road more than ten meters wide!

More efficient killing than in a slaughterhouse.

This is the power of heavy cavalry, the well-deserved king of the battlefield!
The hyena looked around the room.

It's noon.

To the east was the left wing of Du Duo's army, which had just been defeated by him and was now reorganizing its formation.

To the northwest is the center of Du Duo’s army, and also where Du Duo’s flag is located.

A little further north were the long-range troops of Duduo's army, which were restraining the Wind King's troops.

"Come back with me--" Hyena raised his battle axe: "Kill them!!!"

Perhaps attacking General Du Duo's flag is a good idea, but Du Duo is surrounded by elite soldiers with heavy armor. If a rash attack fails to achieve the desired effect, then these 500 heavy cavalry will be wasted.

It would be better to completely destroy the left wing of Du Duo’s army and liberate our own right wing!

The 500 heavy cavalry began to accelerate again.

The impact of this charge was far stronger than the first time.

Because Duduo’s army has realized the horror of heavy armored cavalry!
No matter how much they were urged by their superiors, the soldiers just huddled in fear and dared not move forward.

However, the more you fear death, the more likely you are to die.

No resistance means being at the mercy of others!

When galloping at high speeds, the heavy cavalrymen did not even need to use force with their spears. They only needed to aim slightly and let the sharp spear tips tear open leather armor and cut through flesh and bones.

Just when he was halfway through the charge, the hyena saw a different enemy.

Right in the center of the enemy formation, about 200 heavy armored infantrymen hastily built three layers of defense, right on the path that the heavy cavalry had to pass.

On the battlefield, the only ones who can stop the charging heavy cavalry are the heavy armored infantry!

The leader of Du Duo's personal soldiers was breathing heavily, with a layer of khaki-colored fighting armor burning on his body. Then he squatted down and carried a thick spear on his shoulder!

Every soldier behind him followed suit.

Fighting spirit flowed out from the leader of Du Duo's personal guards, forming a germanium-yellow barrier.

"Come on, let's see how you can break through my earth barrier!"

At this distance, it is no longer possible to circle around and dodge.

And the hyena doesn't want to hide!
Germanium-yellow fighting spirit poured into the giant axe, forming ripples on the axe blade. The hyena roared and rode forward.

"Crack the soil!!!"

call--

The axe blade swept across the ground, and the wind it created lifted up the dirty flesh and blood that had been trampled into a pancake shape.

Then it slammed down on the barrier!

The barrier hummed, and a huge hole was smashed in the middle. Then the sharp blade of the giant axe was thrown in, carrying the light of fighting spirit and the force of a charging warhorse, and chopped it hard!

Du Duo's personal guard captain was wearing excellent armor, and his helmet did not break, but turned into a twisted iron box, with blood, flesh, brains, and hair gushing out from the gaps!

The hyena did not stop, and chopped left and right with the giant axe in his hand, smashing all the heavy armored infantry and the weapons connecting them in front of him one by one!

The quality of Du Duo's personal guards is not bad.

Some of the heavy cavalry behind the hyenas were stabbed off their horses, while some of their horses were killed and rolled to the ground.

But more of them just walked over their bodies without hesitation!!
Not many armies could withstand the repeated penetration of heavy cavalry without collapsing.

At least Tudor’s left wing is not good!
The right wing of the Eagle Army had already begun to advance, taking advantage of the two penetrations of the heavy cavalry, and was now chasing them!

At the central army, without the need for a messenger to report, Du Duo also saw the reality that his left wing was gradually retreating.

The current situation is extremely bad for Du Duo.

The left wing collapsed, and the left flank of the central army was exposed to the Eagle Army.

The Eagle Army on the right wing fought more and more fiercely. Even though they had deployed their last reserve troops, they could only resist with difficulty. Defeat was inevitable.

The situation of the central army is not optimistic either.

Although Raven's heavy armored infantry were outnumbered, their armor and weapons were superior to Duduo's heavy armored elite, and they were just barely able to maintain the stalemate.

Once sandwiched between two sides...

Du Duo rubbed the dice in his hand and glanced at the sky.

The sun has moved away from the zenith and is beginning to set.

In 4 hours at most, night will fall, and the Eagle Army will then have complete dominance.

Just then, a messenger came to Du Duo and reported a few words in a low voice.

Du Duo was shocked: "What? There are no cavalry on the back of the Wind King?"

After the surprise comes enlightenment.

He was still surprised as to where Raven had squeezed out an elite force to hold back Sean, thus freeing up the heavy cavalry. It turned out that this was how he played the trick!
After the realization came, there was a hint of joy mixed with anger.

He had been deceived by a bunch of beasts for so long!

But now is also a great opportunity:
"Pass my order, dispatch 2000 archers to support the right wing!"
