Chapter 569: Dead souls

Seeing that the orcs were just about to assemble, Niu Fu's eyes were fierce. He didn't believe that these lazy orcs could stop his heavy cavalry from charging.
The speed of the heavy cavalry team has increased, and the momentum of the heavy cavalry sprinting at full speed is quite shocking. If the people who are facing directly, if their mental quality is too bad, they will see the torrent of steel coming oncoming, and they will be deterred by the momentum.
This is also the reason why the infantry phalanx are all veterans at the head and shields. If recruits are used to lead the battle, it is very likely that they will have a psychological breakdown, and then they will disperse their team in the process of escaping, and finally everyone will be reduced to being The fate of the massacre.
Seeing that it was about to rush into the range of refusing the horse, the speed of the heavy cavalry team did not decrease at all. The Niu Auxiliary Knight stretched his gun forward, and a grudge rushed out from the tip of the knight's gun, directly exploding the resistance in front of him to pieces, without any impact on his speed.
The other heavy cavalry at the beginning are also learning, or are ready to use their own unique skills to solve the problem.
But when they rushed into the range of rejection, they realized that things were far less simple than they thought.
I didn't feel anything from a long distance, but when I rushed to the vicinity of the horse, the ground under my feet turned into potholes and no longer level. In order to maintain balance, the horse had to slow down sharply.
The teammates behind him are sprinting with all their strength, and it is very difficult to slow down suddenly. But after all, they were all soldiers with long battlefields. They were able to ride well, and most of them slowed down. Only a few had problems, or hit a teammate in front of them, or fell off their horses.
Just as the heavy cavalry relaxed a little, they were about to reorganize their formation to start a charge. Some potholes suddenly appeared in the hard ground just now, and many people fell down with their horses.
Many sharp bamboos stood in the pit, directly piercing the fallen heavy cavalry company and horse into several blood holes, killing them on the spot.
Some people who didn't die immediately groaned and groaned in pain, a puddle of blood under their bodies, seeing that they couldn't live. There are some people who are lucky enough to fall into the gap and are not hit by the stab, but their arms and legs have been severely deformed, or have been pierced, and howl in pain at the bottom of the pit.
The heavy cavalry without speed is like a living target wearing a tortoise shell. The sharpshooters and horses pull their bows like a full moon, and there is a swish of arrows breaking through the air.
Although the heavy cavalry is covered in heavy armor, there are always some places that cannot be blocked, such as eyes and some movable joints. Those horses that do not have speed have become the focus of care for the centaurs.
The arrows of the centaurs and horses seem to have eyes, and they specialize in shooting at the weak points of the horses and heavy cavalry. You must know that it is not easy for heavy cavalry who lost their horses to move.
In order to increase the inertia and protection ability after running, the heavy armor of the heavy cavalry is close to one hundred kilograms. Wearing a hundred catties of armor and holding a dozen catties of heavy weapons, she struggled to walk, let alone fighting.
The armor of the heavy cavalry is not meant to be taken off. It usually requires two or three people to cooperate when wearing it, so every heavy cavalry will be accompanied by more than two or three servants before going out. However, these servants are not counted in the country's account, and the heavy cavalry needs to pay for it.
Seeing this scene, everyone knew that this group of heavy cavalry was in danger. At this time, even if it sent troops to rescue, it would have no effect, but it would only increase casualties.
General Li made a decisive decision, and did not abandon the heavy cavalry who had not yet suffered any casualties. He hurriedly retreated and sent a group of shield soldiers to rescue.
Just after General Li issued the order, a figure rushed in the direction of the heavy cavalry from the human camp, leaving the shield soldiers who had rushed out far behind.
The person who rushed out was not someone else, but the investigative team leader Yan Ling who had tried to persuade Niu Fu to no avail. Seeing Niu Fu and the others in a predicament, Yan Ling felt anxious but could not help it. Without General Li's order, he did not dare to step forward to rescue.
After finally waiting for General Li's rescue order, how could he be willing to wait behind. Although he is not a shield soldier, he can't take much care of him anymore. Wait until Niu Fu is rescued before accepting General Li's punishment!
With Niu Fu's strength, even in heavy armor, it is not difficult to get out of the battle, but he knows Niu Fu as a human being. As long as his subordinates are not out of danger, he will definitely not be the first to retreat.
Yan Ling had already rushed into the heavy cavalry line in the blink of an eye, and Niu Fu was about to retreat. Niu Fu broke free from Yan Ling's hand and yelled, "What are you doing? Give it to me!"
But there were still people holding him tightly, and when Niu Fu turned around, he realized that it was Yan Ling who had caught him.
"What are you doing?" Niu Fu looked at Yan Ling with red eyes. The death of heavy cavalry and war horses had already made him extremely excited.
"The general has already mingled gold to retreat, are you going to resist?" Yan Ling shouted.
He had to do this. The people on the battlefield mingled with roars and horses. If you don't shout loudly, you can't hear what you are saying.
"But... these brothers..." Niu Fu swung his axe away from a shot arrow, gritted his teeth and looked at Yan Ling.
"You can't change the situation at all by yourself, the shield soldiers rushed to rescue immediately, hurry up with me!" Yan Ling shouted, holding Niu Fu and going back.
"No! I want to retreat with my brothers, otherwise I will die together!" Niu Fu roared and rushed to the front, blocking the arrows for the soldiers. If he blocked one, he might save a heavy cavalry. .
"General Niu, you don't care about us, go! In the next life, we are still willing to follow you!" The surrounding heavy cavalry knew that they couldn't easily leave the battlefield, and shouted to let Niu Fu go quickly.
Yan Ling hesitated, thinking about knocking Niu Fu out and forcibly taking him away, but seeing these heavy cavalry soldiers regard death as home, and Niu Fu's reckless posture in order to protect his men, his heart was boiling. Put your heart to it, mom, yeah, the dead and the birds are up, fight it!
However, Yan Ling was very smart, and did not rush to the front to block the arrows like Niu Fu. After all, there were too many arrows, and he did not have heavy armor.
However, it was precisely because Yan Ling had no heavy armor, so the speed was very fast, and the dagger in his hand was not ordinary. He simply chose another way to rescue these heavy cavalry fighters.
These heavy armors have become a burden to them, and he used a dagger to open an escape route directly behind these heavy cavalry.
Although without the protection of heavy armor, these heavy cavalry lost their strongest defense, but they broke out with alarming speed.
Everything that Yan Ling did was seen in Niu Fu's eyes. He didn't say anything, but he was secretly moved and blamed in his heart. He blamed Yan Ling and this brother himself didn't make it in vain!
The shield soldiers sprinted with all their strength and soon protected the escaped heavy cavalry. When all the living heavy cavalry were protected, Niu Fu stepped back.
The heavy armor on his body had long been pitted, even an arrow shot into the eye socket of his right eye, and many arrows hit the joints. Although Yan Ling was a little better than Niu Fu, he was also scratched in many places and his left shoulder was penetrated by an arrow.
When everyone returned to the base camp and counted the number of people, the loss was more than 40%. The two thousand horses never survived. The shield soldiers sent out to rescue also lost dozens of people. After all, the strong archer of the horses and horses is not a vain name, although it can not be said that it is a hundred steps through Yang's case, but the problem of hitting a target within one or two hundred meters is not big.
The heavy cavalry who had just retreated were all downcast, and they could not wait to find a place to get in. They all felt ashamed and indignant.
If it's head-on head-to-head failure and it's not ashamed, it's not as good as others. But this battle was really frustrated, and even if he didn't even touch the orc's hair, he broke more than half, and the Lord was seriously injured. In the face of such a result, the human troop's mood is inevitably depressed.
"Warriors, it is understandable to be depressed. This is because you have a strong sense of honor, but if a small defeat makes you full of frustration, then you are not qualified to be my soldiers!"
"My soldiers have to face difficulties and rise to the challenge, persevere in the face of setbacks, fearless in the face of powerful enemies, and not arrogant or arrogant in the face of victory. The glory is earned by you, not by others! Next! It’s up to you whether you can win the battle. Can you do it?"
"You can do it!" Hearing General Li's words, the heavy cavalry who had just retreated from the battlefield clenched their fists, raised their heads, their eyes flushed, and they wanted to return to the battlefield again.
When they were on the battlefield, they were anxious to fly back with their wings, but when they were relieved, they realized that dying on the battlefield was a relief.
But after listening to General Li's words, their already ashamed hearts burned again.
"Are you still men? The voice is not as good as the toad in the pond!"
"You can do it!" This time not only the heavy cavalry who had just retreated, but all the soldiers roared together.
The sound was earth-shattering, making the orcs look at him. It felt like it was not the orcs who had won the victory just now, but they were humans.
The heavy cavalry is the strongest arm of mankind, but the orcs only sent less than three hundred centaur archers to pack up the heavy cavalry several times theirs, without any damage to themselves.
The retreat of the heavy cavalry was like the orcs slapped their faces with a slap, slapped them in the abyss of hell, making them unacceptable for a while. But General Li's words were like a beacon, pulling them from the abyss back to the world.
At this moment, there is a fire in everyone's heart. The glory of the army is above all else, not to mention it is still under the hand of the military god. If this can't win victory, then what face is there to face the robe of other troops.
