The battle started about twenty days earlier than Reverend Kent expected, but it didn't matter. The human army had already prepared for the war.

In response to the centaurs in the Beida camp, the human coalition formulated two sets of action plans. If the centaurs in the Beida camp were evacuated in batches, Log City would not move. When the number of centaur warriors dropped from 60,000 to about 30,000, the 200,000 elite cavalry would be deployed across the board.

Attack and flatten them, then turn to the Centaur's southern camp, join forces with the armies of Guangming City and Crystal City, and completely annihilate the main force of the Sidonian Centaur.

As for the centaurs who fled back to their tribe's lair in advance, it doesn't matter. Most of the females among them are pregnant and expecting to give birth and have little fighting power. Tens of thousands of male centaurs can't make any waves. The east-opening leading battle zone first defeated the two major forces in the south and north.

The centaurs from the battalion then summoned the coalition forces in the Stone Fortress theater to go deep into the Sidon Khanate and jointly kill the remaining defeated centaurs.

However, the strong Centaurs in the North Camp sensed the danger from the Log City, and they decided to retreat all to the territory they were most familiar with, where there was golden ripe green wheat everywhere. As long as there was food and depth, the Centaur

They will have nothing to fear.

It was an almost impossible task for the Log City army to annihilate 60,000 centaurs at once. A head-on attack would inevitably result in heavy losses. In this case, Commander Kent Reverend did not take the annihilation of the opponent as the combat goal, and tried his best to bring the North to the north.

The centaurs drove the centaurs to the southern camp, which increased the food burden on the centaurs in the southern camp and caused chaos and division among different tribes. The human coalition then broke them apart one by one like peeling onions.

There was an episode when Pastor Kent presided over the pre-war meeting. The queen and the crown prince happened to be in Log City. Of course, Queen Grace did not need to participate in the war, but since the crown prince Siegfried ran into the general mobilization, there was no reason to escape from the battle. Paladin Crow

His Highness Chir made some arrangements for his grandson, and the legendary battle priest agreed wholeheartedly. The Guards Cavalry brought by the Crown Prince are all elite veterans of Blood Wolf Castle, and they are very familiar with centaurs, so there is no need to worry about them making mistakes.

After the combat meeting, the heavy suspension bridge of Log City was slowly lowered, and the paladin messengers rode horned wolf mounts and rushed to various castles, fortresses, and sentries to convey the orders of the commander, Reverend Kent.

In the early morning, heavily armed mobile cavalry poured out from the back doors of various fortifications and circled into the giant forest to the north of Log City. Covered in moonlight, they quietly marched eastward with the help of the cover of the forest.

The log city defense line is more than 200 kilometers long and nearly 30 kilometers deep. It is not very noticeable that more than 100,000 cavalry are detouring in such a large area. Moreover, the human coalition has eliminated the orcs' entrenched forces in the east and west.

The Dun Centaur were ignorant of the situation behind the human defense line. The ferocious Centaur sensed the approaching danger, but they came from different tribes, and no centaur leader could make the decision to retreat overnight.

The more danger there is, the more tightly we must stick together. Everyone is afraid that if they lead their fellow tribesmen to retreat first, they will suffer a devastating blow.

Wild intuition is not omnipotent. In a battle of this scale, the will of a strong individual will be shackled by group consciousness. Centaur leaders can easily break through, but they must consider the safety and interests of their tribesmen.

One night was not enough time for the centaur leaders to reach a consensus and make a decision whether to fight or retreat.

Of course, they did not do nothing. Many centaur scouts entered the giant wood forest to detect the movements of the human army, but very few centaur scouts were able to return alive. They brought the news of the human army in the giant wood forest to the tribal leaders. However, half of them

The centurion leaders were helpless, or rather indifferent.

Centaurs are not suitable for fighting in forests. The vast wilderness is their home field. In addition to the forests to the north and the human fortresses to the west, centaurs can also maneuver east or south. If the main force of the human army dares to leave the cover of the forest, the centaurs will

The army of men and horses will give them a miserable defeat.

In this way, 120,000 elite cavalry detoured back to the east of the Centaur North Camp, cutting off their retreat route to the east.

Early the next morning, the centaurs discovered that the main force of the human army was behind them, but this was no threat to the centaurs. With just a few rounds of group charges, they could destroy these human warriors who left the fortifications. What's more, there was no human army to the south.

, they can completely detour from the south and outflank the main force of the human army.

However, the centaurs had no chance to annihilate the human cavalry, which they considered to be ridiculously weak. The threat from the direction of Log City attracted all their attention. Amidst the sound of majestic and high-pitched horns, more than 30,000 elite cavalry continuously emerged from the city gate.

They surged out, and the ones at the front were the monster cavalry wearing heavy armor. Although they were not many in number, they were the only human legions that could tear apart the centaur cluster from the front. They were huge giant bears and majestic half-eagles and half-lions.

, the first-born two-horned wargs brought too many painful memories to the centaurs. This time, those cunning and ferocious wargs appeared on the east side, and two new monsters appeared on the south: the one-horned giant lion and the six-legged giant lion.

lizard.

They look equally untouchable.

Following the charge of the war beast were ten times the number of heavy cavalry. They were responsible for further widening the hole opened by the war beast knight, and then it was the turn of the remaining cavalry to launch a full-scale assault.

Human cavalry should never confront a group of centaurs head-on, because centaurs can still run and jump when hit by arrows, but once human war horses are hit by javelins and arrows, they will fall to the ground and trip up a group of cavalry behind them. Alienated war beast power

They are huge and have rough skin and thick flesh. Even if they are heavily armored and suffer heavy damage, they will not die for a while, but become more violent and ferocious. Therefore, the heavy cavalry that assists the alienated war beasts bear the largest proportion of casualties in a battle.

When beaten down, more than half of them were killed or injured.

However, there are always victims in war, and mankind has never lacked brave and fearless warriors.

The war beast cavalry, heavy cavalry and main cavalry form a big hammer, responsible for smashing open the centaur clusters and smashing their courage!

Of course, if you have a hammer, you also need a chopping board.

The 120,000 cavalry blocking the Centaur's retreat were the chopping block. They were patrolling in the east, ready to deal a heavy blow to the Centaur's crazy breakout.

The hammer was there, the chopping board was there, and the Log City coalition forces also laid out a noose.

1,500 horned wolf paladins and 25,000 of the most elite cavalry form a ranger force, located behind the main cavalry force on the east side. They are responsible for hunting down those horses that have successfully broken through and forcing the centaur army to move south. When necessary, the rangers

It can also be used as a reserve force to support the battlefield at any time.

Siegfried Frederick is now a member of the Rangers, but he is placed in the safest forest of giant trees.

Priest Kent adopted the strategy of encircling three and missing one. The centaurs broke out to the west and ran into the defense system of the log city. They fled north and entered the giant forest as a whole, which was equivalent to giving up their advantage and seeking death. They broke out in groups to the east.

The possibility is greatest, and the main cavalry responsible for intercepting the centaurs are under the greatest pressure. Correspondingly, the rangers in the Giant Wood Forest have the least pressure and the smallest number. They will only encounter a few ferocious centaurs trying to escape from the forest.

The Silver Paladin of the Testir family, Countess Andrea, Viscount Negus of Dodo and Viscount Sauron of Gambis are waiting for them.

The sharp and sinister aura of the Storm Rider makes the ferocious centaur avoid it.

Therefore, Siegfried, wearing dragon lizard skin armor, can fight from a high place and overlook the entire battlefield.

The alienated war beasts and heavy cavalry did not give the centaurs a chance to mobilize their formation. The high-level knights chose to charge on foot. They wielded two mithril decapitating swords and took the lead in breaking into the centaur cluster; the knights wearing adamantine armor and the alienated war beasts

Followed closely; trainee knights, arcane warriors and elite soldiers rode on the backs of war horses, so that they would not fall behind.

The War Beast Knights and the heavy cavalry formed a sharp formation and collided with the centaur group. They were like red-hot knives cutting into butter, instantly tearing several holes in the centaur team. There were more than 10,000 heavy equipment.

The cavalry followed the gap opened by the War Beast Knights and dug in fiercely, trying to completely break up the centaurs' dense charging formation and support the large group of cavalry behind to attack.

Arrows are like locusts, javelins are like rain, the golden knight is unstoppable, and the alienated war beasts are rampaging. Blood and flesh are flying on the battlefield, the roars of the war beasts and the screams of the centaurs are mixed into war music. The blood of the Sasan crown prince is boiling, and he needs to use his fighting spirit to calm down the excitement.

In a high-spirited mood, he pointed with a restrained expression: "It's going very well... The Centaur front is spreading outward, and they can't hold it anymore."

"...It went smoothly because the gold-level centaur captain deliberately avoided the golden knight's edge."

A paladin with light blond hair and blue eyes smiled and said: "In a battle of this scale, the strong men on both sides must try to kill ordinary soldiers in the enemy. Centaurs are agile and more flexible than our heavy cavalry.

In fact, the high-level knights did not kill many centaurs. Their formation spread out to let the heavy cavalry penetrate deeper... Just watch, they will soon close the gap and eat the heavy cavalry who follow the knights.

Pretend to be cavalry."

The situation on the battlefield soon changed. The centaurs tried their best to avoid the knights and alienated war beasts, and concentrated their efforts to shoot the armored cavalry's horses first. Some ferocious centaurs simply hit the cavalry with their fine iron maces, killing them.

A torrent of iron armor cut off abruptly.

The war horses were shot into hedgehogs by the dense arrows, and the heavy armored cavalry fell to the ground and tripped many of their companions. The cavalry team following the attack of the war beasts became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they were gradually unable to catch up with the high-level knights.

footsteps.

Seeing that the heavy cavalry and the War Beast Knights were about to be separated, Siege frowned, turned his body sideways, and asked respectfully: "Uncle, how should those heavy armored cavalry deal with this situation?"

The paladin sighed and said: "High-level knights and alienated war beasts must not turn back to support those lagging heavy armored cavalry, otherwise they will fall into the centaur's ring formation, and the centaur captain will be mixed in with the ordinary centaurs.

Using heavy javelins to fire, the power is comparable to a ballista. Even extraordinary knights cannot hold on for too long. They must penetrate the centaur group, join up with the main cavalry on the east side, and then turn back to charge."

"...heavy armored cavalry."

Having said this, the Paladin paused and continued: "Their mission is to rush into the center of the Centaur cluster, lay out a tortoise-shell sword array, build fortifications with their own bodies, create charging obstacles for the Centaur, and wait for reinforcements on the east and west wings.

The cavalry rushed into the battlefield and fought closely with the centaurs."

At this time, the surviving heavy armored cavalry abandoned their mounts one after another, facing the fierce arrows, and quickly moved closer to their companions. They were in groups of more than a dozen, squatting on the ground holding fine iron shields, and the shields were interlocked to form a semicircle.

A tortoise-shell shield formation, with a bright long-handled scimitar protruding from the gap between the shields. Centaurs who dare to charge against the tortoise-shell sword formation will have their limbs cut off by the blade, and even their stomachs and intestines will be broken.

The turtle-shell sword array invented by the Temple Army and the Sasan Empire was specifically designed to restrain centaur group charges and create opportunities for follow-up troops to engage in close combat with the centaurs. However, the turtle-shell sword array cannot move, and the ferocious centaurs will throw maces and kill them.

Kill them one by one. Especially the ferocious centaurs above the silver rank, which can kill more than a dozen soldiers with just one blow. How many heavy armored cavalry can survive depends entirely on the assault speed of the main force.

The turtle-shell sword formation seems simple, but the warriors who set up the formation need to rely on the strength of their companions and the support of the earth to withstand the heavy javelins thrown by the centaurs. Almost all Sasan soldiers can skillfully form the turtle-shell sword formation, but the Iron Wall Knight

The regiment and the auxiliary cavalry of the Velociraptor Knights had received several months of training, but they were still in a hurry. They either couldn't get the number of people or couldn't find their position. For a while, they suffered heavy casualties.

"They are truly brave people..."

The paladin made a comment and suddenly said "huh" again.

Sieg followed the paladin's gaze and found that some auxiliary cavalry of the Dragon Knights had completely given up on setting up the turtle-shell sword formation and rushed directly towards the centaurs. They were wearing dark red leather armor and holding two fine iron scimitars.

As agile as apes, they rolled and fought under the centaur's belly. Their scimitars flashed with indigo light and swiftly penetrated the centaur's back door, bringing out a large pile of blood and intestines. Then, they kicked wildly with their limbs and made loud and miserable noises.

The centaur called as cover and turned to the next target.

These red-armored warriors are like cold and evil ghosts, effectively spreading death and pain on the battlefield. All centaurs caught by them end up miserable.

Sieg quietly pinched his buttocks and heard the knight responsible for protecting him say: "Gombis cannot have hundreds of agile and ferocious warriors! They are..."

"Arcane guards trained by Kite Castle!"

The paladin looked grim and said: "These arcane guards are all gone... Gombis did not send the golden knights to participate in the battle, but they also spent a lot of money."

Although the red-armored warriors were tough and brave, causing local chaos to the centaurs, their numbers were too thin compared to the centaurs. The frightened centaur warriors were afraid of being entangled by these evil spirits and could no longer care about accidentally injuring their companions.

, heavy arrows and spears were shot out like raindrops, turning the red-armored warriors into hedgehogs.

However, the tenacity of the red-armored warriors exceeded human limits. A red-armored warrior who was torn in half by a ferocious centaur actually took advantage of his opponent's carelessness and dragged his mutilated upper body into the ferocious centaur's butt with the scimitar in his hand.

Sieg's scalp was numb when he saw it, and he murmured: "Is this still a human being?"

The paladin first closed his half-opened mouth and explained forcefully: "Well... I heard that the pharmacist at Kite Castle has developed a secret medicine that allows people to ignore pain and stimulate their potential. The soldiers who take that secret medicine are more painful.

, the stronger the desire to kill. This medicine... is still very effective on the battlefield."
