A huge gunshot rang out in the canyon, and a glittering bullet whizzed from the watchtower and hit the outermost shield.
The sturdy shield shattered with a thud, and the soldier behind the shield slumped to the ground, blood gushing out of the large hole in his breastplate, staining the yellow-brown sand.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Ethan Lien screamed from behind the shield wall.
The shield defenders in the second row stepped forward and blocked the gap in the shield wall.
The queue began to move back, but they didn't move fast to maintain their formation and prevent holes in the shield wall.
"Bang!"
Another bullet flew in, and the shield defender, who had just filled his position, fell to the ground.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and although the vacant seats were immediately filled, confusion had already arisen, and the shield walls shook for a while, and in some places there was even a gap the width of a person.
Diego seized the opportunity.
Before the gap was closed, a bullet flew through the middle.
The blood mist splattered up in the sky, losing the protection of the shield, and the bullets infused with the power of the Holy Light easily pierced through the two bodies and one shield between them in a row, only to be blocked by the last shield.
The gap in the shield wall has widened.
Tirio had a good eye on the rush and it was a great opportunity.
You know, the Silver Dawn he brought with him was only more than three hundred people, and the Scarlet Crusaders on the opposite side were almost twice as many as them, and if they fought hard, they couldn't have the slightest chance of winning.
"Tyran, prepare to ......," he shouted, but his words were rudely interrupted by the rushing Crusader cavalry.
Horses neighed and horses' hooves rumbled, and Ethanlyon's loyal Hussars were inexperienced but fanatical enough.
As soon as the shots rang out, they rode their horses and rushed forward.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the gap in the shield wall was completely blocked by the figures of these cavalry.
The shield wall was almost completely submerged behind the tall warhorses.
"Bang!"
Another bullet flew, accompanied by the wailing of the war horse, a galloping war horse fell down, the knight on horseback drew an arc in the air like a stone bullet thrown by a stone thrower, and inserted it into a thick sharp wooden stake with a "poof", and the originally white and miserable stubble was dyed a piece of blood red, which was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
On the watchtower, Diego sighed softly, the best opportunity had been missed, and he couldn't catch the coward anymore.
However, he did not stop firing, but continued to shoot in the direction of the shield wall, and from time to time cavalry fell from their horses, and by the time they retreated to the place where they had charged, five shield defenders and at least a dozen horsemen had fallen to the ground.
"Trust me, Tirio?
Fordin, you're going to pay for this dishonorable and shameless sneak attack!
Ethan Lion hid behind the crowd and shouted angrily.
Tirio stood on the rushing car and smiled disdainfully.
He values honor, but that doesn't mean he's pedantic enough to watch the planes run away from him.
Instead, the druid bear a few steps away took two steps forward.
"Come on, don't just dare to let out a mouth cannon like a sissy!"
The Great Bear roared wildly, his voice like rolling thunder across the sky, and everyone's ears rumbled with shock.
He stared at the other side with disdain, like looking at a flock of weak chickens.
Tirio never imagined that one day he would see such a vivid mocking expression on the face of a big bear, the kind of contempt and shame that came from the bones, as if a large line of common words was written on the whole bear's face - "I'm right here, you are going to bite me"!
Even he couldn't resist the urge to go up and slash, let alone Ethan Lion on the other side.
As if adding fuel to the fire, the already angry Grand Prosecutor finally broke out.
"Rush up and kill them all!"
The first to rush up was Esenlian's cavalry, they did not think about slowing down from the moment they launched the charge, and the war horses that were blindfolded rushed straight into the dense array of wooden stakes, the huge crashing sound, the wailing of the war horses and the sound of broken wooden stakes continued, and from time to time cavalry was thrown out of the horses, and they were fiercely inserted on the stakes, and let out a wail.
Under the impact of hundreds of pounds of war horses, the wooden stakes broke one after another, and some were even lifted whole and turned aside.
After paying dozens of casualties, a bloody path was finally trodden through the dense bushes of sharp wooden piles.
In the history of war on Earth, like this kind of defensive warfare, the most feared is the fierce and death-defying charge of the enemy who occupies the advantage of troops, fighting casualties and attrition with you, this is almost an unsolvable problem, however, in Azeroth, which has extraordinary strength, this problem is not unsolvable, professionals have the means to repel the enemy's attack, in the face of those powerful beings, numbers, has never been the key factor in determining the victory of the war.
Suddenly, the earth suddenly fluctuated violently, undulating like the waves of the sea, and the entire battlefield was thrown into chaos.
Every horse that was charging stopped, and they jumped up and down in a rage, trying to break free of the reins and gallop away, and some of the horsemen tried to quiet their mounts, but apparently to no avail.
Immediately afterward, a fireball the size of a human head glowing crimson flew from a distance and landed among the cavalry gathered in front of the stake.
"Boom!"

As if the sky was shattering, blazing flames exploded through the crowd, and orange-red air currents rose into the air, forming a small mushroom cloud, and the shockwave rolled and spread like a ring, and everything was tossed to the ground in its path.
Flying sand, wood chips, and armor fragments flew in all directions like shotguns, and even though Tirio was already hiding behind the rushing car, the impact of the explosion still made his ears roar and his head dizzy.
The other defenders were even more unbearable, and they were rushed to the ground without cover, rolling on the ground like a rolling gourd, and they couldn't get up for a long time.
Only the Druid Giant Bear, with its large tonnage and four-clawed advantage, firmly grasped the ground and was not blown over.
As the roar cleared from his ears and the shockwave finally subsided, Tirio poked his head out and looked into the gap in the stake, the sight creeping him out.
From the rush to the outside of the stake array, the ground was charred black, the ground was covered with the corpses of fallen soldiers and horses, and the curling green smoke and unextinguished flames spread on the battlefield, exuding the smell of roasted meat.
Tirio took a cursory look at it, and the terrifying fireball technique had caused at least two dozen deaths and twice as many wounds.
Compared to this spell, Diego's blaze bomb was as harmless as a trick.
Outside the blast range, the surviving cavalrymen looked at the scorched earth with a blank expression, and after seeing this powerful spell, even the most fanatical soldiers suddenly lost any desire to fight.
