The two huge legions were like two beasts that had been fighting for a long time, they were already a little tired, panting and looking at each other with blood-red fierce eyes, gently licking their wounds, and at the same time looking at each other with vigilant eyes, ready to rise up again to give each other a fatal blow Tiger finally couldn't take it anymore.
He sent the special forces of the Rolands: the chariots The combat convoy is a well-known special army in the Roland Continent, and the characteristics of this army are: strong, powerful in impact, especially in the plains and open areas, the frontal impact is very terrifying.
Each chariot was made of ironwood, a specialty of the Roland Continent, and it was so strong that ordinary fireball techniques could not destroy them at all.
The wheels on both sides were topped with sharp blades on both wings, and when the carriage galloped, the wheels rolled, and the blades on both wings were as terrible as a sharp whirlwind Each carriage was equipped with three selected warriors in fine armor, whose stature and strength were selected according to certain standards, and they were dressed in armor comparable to that of heavy infantry and had strong protective capabilities.
One of them drove the carriage, the other two, one with a spear and the other with a tomahawk.
In addition, there is a huge shield wrapped in cowhide, which can withstand the attacks of enemy archers when charging, and when the distance is close, the soldiers immediately put down the shield and pick up spears and battle axes to attack.
And each carriage was equipped with two fine war horses.
This kind of war horse is selected and rigorously trained.
In terms of strength, ordinary war horses are much stronger, but their speed and endurance can be slightly weaker.
The horses are also lightly armoured and have a certain protective ability.
It can be said that this kind of army has quite strong lethality in a head-to-head duel in the open area of the plains.
The sturdy carriage acts as a swift assault on the enemy's fortress, easily breaking down the enemy's dense hoplite formations.
The archers behind the infantry did very little damage to them.
Imagine a nightmare when a flesh-and-blood human body charged head-on at such a heavy, sturdy chariot The advantages of this vehicle are very obvious, but the weaknesses are also quite prominent, which is a big reason why Tiger did not send this army before.
Another reason for this is that the cost of such chariot armies is extremely expensive, even far more than several times that of a knightly order of the same size The kind of chariots made of ironwood were expensive, and the cost of maintenance and repair was even more prohibitive.
The soldiers on the chariot are carefully selected warriors, which are extremely valuable, and it may be easy to train an ordinary soldier, but it is very difficult to cultivate this kind of soldier, and they can only be selected from the army.
The horses are also one of the best power horses.
Coupled with the cost of weapons and armor, it's a huge expense.
This chariot army is a special type of troops unique to the Sauron Kingdom of the Roland Continent, that is, the Sauron Kingdom, and the other small kingdoms of the Roland Continent simply do not have the strength to support such an expensive army, nor can they select so many excellent soldiers.
Even with the kingdom of Sauron, which occupies half of the Roland continent, it only has 3,000 chariots, and the weave of soldiers is 10,000.
However, compared with the 50,000 Royal Knights, the cost of the 10,000-man chariot was much higher.
"It's time" As the muffled war drums sounded, the armies of both sides gathered together in the wilderness, and Tiger said to himself, "Let's see if this convoy can stand up to that terrible Thor's whip." ” Of course, there is also a thought that makes Tiger dare not use the chariot in advance, because he knows very well that this chariot is the trump card of the kingdom of Sauron, and the real ace of the king, His Majesty has spent countless money to build a terrifying war machine.
The purpose is to fight against the Holy Knights who are invincible in the Roland Continent King Sauron's ambition is extremely great, and he is naturally dissatisfied with the situation that the royal power is suppressed by the clergy, and this chariot is the biggest trump card to compete with the Holy Knights when the kingdom and the Divine Cult turn against each other in the future After the loud trumpet sounded, the military formation of the Empire of Light began to move slowly.
In front of the formation was a phalanx of heavy infantry of tens of thousands of northern legions, flanked by cavalry, etc., cavalry Tiger frowned, why didn't Thor's Whip appear?
After the shouts of the officers in the imperial camp, the phalanx of tens of thousands of heavy infantry regiments slowly moved forward, and the soldiers let out a neat shout.
The morning sun shone on their bright armor and the swords in their hands, shining with a cold light.
The neat phalanx slowly advanced, and the uniform pace and the sound of heavy footsteps, as well as the clanging sound of the armor and weapons on the soldiers' bodies as they advanced, struck the hearts of the Roland people.
Tiger looked solemn, looked at the enemy army in front of him, and once again couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If I had 100,000 such elite infantry" He immediately shook his head, now it was a war, this inexplicable thought really didn't make any sense.
He whispered a word, and his herald immediately conveyed the order.
The front of the Roland army slowly opened a wide gap, and then the horn of the bull horn was heard, and the sky shook in an instant Those who have never seen such a scene in person will never be able to experience that kind of shock With a low and heavy sound of bull's horns, the sky shook and thousands of carriages formed a powerful charge, like a beast that had suddenly been awakened, with a terrifying roar rushed towards the sound of the wheels of the imperial camp in the wilderness, the sound of horses' hooves trampling the earth, the boiling and neighing of war horses, the high-pitched shouts of soldiers, all these sounds were mixed in everything, although they did not sound sharp and harsh, but they seemed to shake people's ears and tremble The rolling wheels brought up the dust in the sky, and I saw that in front of me was a cloud of dust covering the sky and at the front of it were countless chariots that were rushing to gallop, although the distance was still far away, but it seemed that I could already hear the roars of the opposing soldiers and their blood-red eyes The officers of the Empire of Light immediately realized the horror of the enemy army in front of them, and after an order, the archers hiding behind the infantry phalanx immediately launched a salvo of dense arrows like locusts and fiercely penetrated into the charging convoy, but in the face of the heavy shield raised on the chariot, it was difficult to give the enemy great damage, even if occasionally some arrows leaked out of the shield that could not be covered, but in the face of the soldiers wearing heavy armor, it was difficult to effectively kill.
After a rain of arrows, the other party had already rushed closer "Ready" the officers of the empire shouted loudly.
The soldiers moved nervously, gradually considering, trying to make their phalanx more dense and thick.
The shouts of the "ready" officers also looked a little nervous in the deafening charge of the other side.
The soldiers in the front row slammed the huge shield in their hands into the ground, and then resisted it with their bodies.
"Ready" The spearman stretched out his spear from the gap in his shield, and countless sharp spears were raised flat to meet the enemy that swept in like a storm.
When the first carriage slammed into the infantry phalanx, the spear was immediately broken by the huge impact, and then the shield wall inserted in the ground was forced to open a gap, and the soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and some of them let out a miserable wail.
In the front carriage, some of the war horses were pierced by spears, but these powerful war horses neighed and dragged the carriage and continued to run for several steps before falling down.
These few steps are sufficient Breaking through the shields and spears at the forefront, the subsequent chariots slashed into the Imperial infantry phalanx like knives into beef The spears and tomahawks in the hands of the Roland warriors on the chariots, the blades rolling on the wheels on the wings of the chariots, the ramming of the boulder-like chariots, and even the trampling of the horses, became the nightmare of the Imperial infantry The infantry on the front could not resist the onslaught of the opposing chariot head-on, and the infantry on the flanks were already torn apart by the whirlwind blades before they even approached the chariot In the face of such an amazing weapon of war, the quality of the infantry of the empire was immediately manifested.
If the soldiers of the Roland people were replaced, it was estimated that they would soon collapse in the face of such an astonishing charge.
But the soldiers of the Northern Legion of the Bright Empire rushed forward bravely, one after another fell under the rolling wheels of the chariot and did not flinch, these soldiers were determined to die, and even used their bodies to try to block the advance of the opponent's chariot Some soldiers picked up the broken spear on the ground, and even pierced the opponent's wheel with a spear, and the spear in his hand was just inserted into the opponent's wheel, His body had been cut into pieces by the blade, and some soldiers simply rushed forward in three or five non-stop, and the imperial cavalry on both sides had already moved, trying to impact the opponent's chariot formation from both wings, but Tiger had already let the Holy Knights wait, and after a roar, the Holy Knights, who had been waiting for a long time, divided into two ways and rushed towards the other party's cavalry team It turned out that on the battlefield, when one of the two warring parties suddenly mastered a special sharp weapon, It's always easy to get an advantage in a broken time.
And this truth is confirmed in the body of the imperial team It must be said that the Northern Legion brought out by Miro showed incomparable courage and quality, and they deserved to be the elite of the imperial team.
In order to block the opponent's convoy, they paid a very heavy price, because they knew that if the opponent's convoy rushed over, then what awaited the archers standing behind the infantry phalanx was a massacre, and the lightly armed archers could not have any resistance in the face of this terrible weapon of war The cavalry on both flanks has already clashed with the Holy Knights, and although the cavalry of the Northwest Army is strong, it is still a little worse than the Holy Knights rampant on the Roland Continent, and the entire empire's military formation is crushed to pieces.
Tiger saw clearly from behind, and immediately ordered several infantry regiments under his command to rush forward Take this opportunity to completely crush the opponent's tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop, and then take the opportunity to break through the opponent's defense Miró watched his army being slaughtered and bled by the enemy almost with a gloomy face, and he gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat The archers of the rear were the first to retreat into the defensive line, and the walls were torn down, and the deep trenches were like slab bridges, and the infantry in front of them were blocking the enemy's advance with their flesh and blood, while the soldiers behind retreated.
Fortunately, the opposing chariot had passed through the thick and dense infantry phalanx, and the momentum of the charge had stalled, although the soldiers on the chariot still swept the surrounding Imperial soldiers back and forth with spears and battle axes.
But in the face of the mountains of corpses and the already sluggish wheels in front of them, the chariot could no longer roar.

All of this gave the Imperial soldiers valuable time to retreat When he saw that the camp in front of him had finally been broken through, Miro gritted his teeth and gave another order Put away the wall Although there are still tens of thousands of infantry left behind, and although the two cavalry teams on both flanks are still fighting to the death with each other's Holy Knights, the only way to survive behind has been closed The ropes on the walls of the fortress were pulled up, the only retreating bridge in the trench was gone, and there was no way to retreat, these Imperial soldiers did not have any fear or sorrow, and the rest of the people let out a cry, turned around and glared fiercely at the enemy behind them with bloodshot eyes, let out a desperate roar like a beast, and then rushed up The Imperial cavalry on both wings fought to the end, they did not win in the head-to-head duel with the Holy Knights, but they did not defile the golden tulip battle flags flying high in the military camp behind When the last Imperial soldier on the battlefield fell, there was no joy on the faces of the Rolanders after the victory, only deep amazement and fear The corpses and blood all over the ground testify to what a tragic battle has just been experienced here.
There were also fallen wounded horses that did not die for a while, and let out a low wail.
Every knight of the Holy Knights was covered in blood, and it was no longer clear whether it was his own or his enemy's.
The swords in their hands have been put down, but looking at the fallen opponent in front of them, the original indifferent face, but with a bit of strange look This battle, in the second holy war, is the most tragic battle between the two sides, the first and last time the Roland people's chariot exerted a strong and terrifying strength, this special war weapon, later called the "meat grinder".
Seeing the walls of the opposing line re-erected, and the arrows and fireballs in the hands of the archers and warlocks slanting down like rain, Tiger finally sighed and ordered his troops to return.
Although he finally won a game today, Tiger felt a little heavy in his heart, why didn't Thor's whip appear today To be continued:
