Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

Chapter 665 An unexpectedly powerful enemy (Part 1)

During the galloping process, when the soldiers in the Second Prince's front army and the left wing saw clearly that their opponent was a heavy cavalry wrapped tightly like a can, with no flaws at all, they couldn't help but express their feelings. They all swallowed and spit.

They were just ordinary light cavalry, and the war horses under their crotches were just the most ordinary plains horses.

The horses of the heavy cavalry were mostly stronger snow horses from the northern part of the kingdom, and the price difference between the two was at least five times greater.

Furthermore, there is no comparison between the ordinary light armor on them and the thick and heavy armor of their opponents, and the cost is also very different.

Finally, the heavy cavalry are all selected from the most elite cavalry. They have extremely strict requirements in terms of equestrian skills, physique, and strength... There is obviously no existence that they can match in any of these aspects.

As for the assault cavalry following the heavy cavalry, they were capable of fighting, but the opponent's method was obviously out of position, and the smaller number of heavy cavalry was concentrated at the arrow position.

Once the troops come into close contact, their own charge formation will undoubtedly be torn apart immediately.

Thinking of this, the commanders of the Second Prince's front army and left wing all unanimously made a wise decision.

That is to use the high mobility of the light cavalry to quickly change the charge formation, from the protruding frontal formation in the middle to the protruding and hollow double frontal formation on both sides, in order to avoid the fierce Prince's heavy cavalry. Deal with the assault cavalry on both sides of the opponent.

After all, the opponent's strength is at most 5,000, with only 2,000 heavy cavalry, and there are still 7,000 of our own troops. As long as the 3,000 assault cavalry are eliminated first, we can at least make up for some of the losses caused by the right wing.

As for the heavy cavalry, leave them to the subsequent friendly forces.

In this way, under the leadership of the chess players holding battle flags at the front, the second prince's seven thousand light cavalry quickly transformed into two fronts and fell out of position, rushing straight towards the heavy cavalry and assault cavalry that the eldest prince was attacking.

I saw a polished lance pointed directly at the eldest prince's cavalry camp, and a monstrous murderous intent immediately vibrated in the air.

"The charge formation changed quite quickly. It seems that the second prince's cavalry are no ordinary people."

On the top of the mountain, a hint of approval appeared on Bert's old face, and he said: "This kind of strategy of avoiding the real and attacking the weak, and picking the weakest persimmons can often yield considerable results."

"That's true."

Orange's crisp voice also rang out: "If we confront the eldest prince's heavy cavalry head-on, the second prince's light cavalry will undoubtedly suffer greater casualties. And if we can concentrate more than twice the superior force to eliminate the eldest prince, The assault cavalry is also an excellent opportunity to recover the losses on the right wing."

"It's interesting. It seems that in addition to the early strategizing, the on-the-spot reaction of the commanders is also extremely important."

Lei Xiao's eyes were fixed on the changing battlefield below, and he nodded thoughtfully.

For Lei Xiao, watching the game like this is obviously an excellent learning opportunity.

Only in this immersive situation can we better understand the judgments of the commanders on both sides of the war and accumulate our own battlefield experience as soon as possible.

"You know, this kind of duel between pure cavalry and cavalry is not common."

"After all, on most battlefields, the cavalry deployed on both sides of the infantry is only used as a quick and circuitous tactical maneuver force to attack the opponent's most vulnerable flanks and rear. However, the real main force on the battlefield is still the huge infantry group."

Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao's gaze became even more intense.

The battlefield below the mountain was filled with wind and sand, and the sound of galloping horses' hooves could still be heard.

It didn't take long for the 7,000 light cavalry of the second prince to advance with double-edged swords, and the 5,000 heavy cavalry and assault cavalry of the eldest prince to advance with ordinary swords. They were like two sharp swords facing each other, fiercely. Collided together!

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

Accompanied by a series of continuous fierce muffled sounds.

The neighing of the war horses intertwined with the screams of the cavalry, and the dust that was stirred up in the sky danced with the blood mist that exploded. The scene was extremely shocking.

On the trembling ground, there was nothing but the cavalrymen whose heads collided fiercely.

Many cavalrymen were hit by the slender lances thrust towards them by their opponents, or were directly knocked off their horses, or were directly penetrated by extremely sharp lance points.

No matter which one it is, there is obviously no chance of survival. The former is greeted by galloping and heavy horse hooves, while the latter becomes a trophy hung on the lance of the opponent.

"Is this a duel between cavalry? It's really shocking."

Looking at the fierce battle at the bottom of the mountain, Lei Xiao's throat rolled and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit.

Although he was standing on the top of a mountain that would never be affected, his nose was still filled with the smell of blood.

However, after the initial shock, Lei Xiao soon discovered to his surprise.

Like two crab claws, the Second Prince's light cavalry who concentrated their superior forces against the weak assault cavalry in the First Prince's camp did not gain the slightest advantage.

On the contrary, the Grand Prince's assault cavalry, whose number was reduced by more than half and whose formation did not have any advantage, was beaten to a pulp and had almost no ability to resist.

"Compared with the light cavalry, although the plate armor on the assault cavalry is thicker, it is by no means a match for the lance. The long and narrow iron shield equipped with it is also used to fight infantry and resist arrows. It cannot resist the attack at all. Can't withstand the impact of lance."

Seeing this obviously counterintuitive scene, Lei Xiao rubbed his eyes and wondered in his heart: "In addition, the assault cavalry is also capable of close combat, and the lances are generally shorter than the light cavalry... No matter how you think about it, it doesn't matter. It’s possible to achieve this overwhelming advantage.”

In confusion, Lei Xiao looked at Burt and Ju Bai who were standing aside, and found that both of them looked confused, and they also couldn't figure out the reason.

Judging from the overall energy fluctuations emitted by the two camps, there is almost no difference, and it is not caused by the gap in strength.

"What on earth is going on? What methods did the White Knight use to achieve such a magical effect?"

Looking at those extremely fierce assault cavalry, which were about to easily penetrate the opponent's camp without any hindrance, the confusion on Lei Xiao's face began to become more obvious.

"Lord, my subordinates have sensed a very familiar energy fluctuation!"

Xiaoya, who still had a hint of exhaustion on her fair face, came over and said in surprise.

"You girl, why haven't you gone to rest yet?"

Lei Xiao was also a little surprised when he noticed that Xiaoya and Nanxing Nanyue were still behind him.

"This subordinate wants to accompany the lord to watch the battle. The lord is still working hard for the territory, so how can the subordinate go back to rest."

Xiaoya smiled sheepishly, then her face regained its serious expression and said, "Speaking of which, Lord, that very familiar energy wave comes from my teacher!"

"Your teacher? Leng Yan's illusion master Jin Wen?"

After hearing these unexpected words, Lei Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.

Lei Xiao has already conducted a detailed investigation into Leng Yan's number one illusionist.

This person's strength is at the fourth level and eight stars. He was recruited by the Lengyan royal family more than ten years ago and became a palace illusionist.

According to Ariel, due to his bohemian character, he only stays in the royal capital for a period of time every year to complete some tasks assigned by the royal family and fulfill his duties as a palace illusionist.

And most of the time, it travels around, often haunting ancient wilderness ruins.

"I didn't expect that the illusion master Jin Wen would actually appear in the eldest prince's camp. I guess he came with the white knight as a trump card, right?"

A look of sudden enlightenment suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face, and he murmured to himself: "Since the energy fluctuations of the illusion master appeared on the battlefield, this magical situation can be easily explained. It must be one of them. Did you cast mass illusion? The true identity of those assault cavalry is probably the real heavy cavalry."

"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is."

Xiaoya nodded affirmatively and responded: "My teacher's research on the illusion is even better than that of the illusion. In addition, the energy flow on the battlefield is extremely chaotic, so I have to do it perfectly to hide from others. It’s not an impossible thing.”

"Understood."

Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

Just like Xiaoya said, the abnormally chaotic energy flow on this large battlefield greatly limits the perception capabilities of the strong.

In addition, he and his subordinates were located on the top of a mountain, far away from the battlefield below.

Therefore, even the most perceptive Huzhang and Hongye beside him did not notice anything, which was a normal thing.

"However, after all, this is a combination of multiple complex factors. If the distance is slightly closer, or under normal circumstances, with the sharp perception of Polygonum Guinea and Hongye, the clues can still be easily discovered. After all, this illusionist No matter how powerful the master is, he has not reached the fifth level."

After feeling slightly relieved, a look of solemnity appeared on Lei Xiao's face again.

Even so, having a powerful illusionist hidden in one of the opponent's camps is an extremely difficult matter.

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

The great prince's overwhelming cavalry had completely penetrated the opponent's formation.

Because it is already some distance away from the Chinese army.

Therefore, a wave of colorful magic ripples similar to water ripples rippled out from the bodies of those invincible "Assault Cavalry".

Immediately afterwards, what appeared in front of everyone was a group of heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor, with even the horses under their crotches tightly wrapped in horse armor!

I saw that the armors of these heavy cavalry were covered with the blood of their opponents. Many of them had thrown away the lances in their hands because they had penetrated their opponents one after another, and instead pulled out the heavy swords at their waists.

However, the "heavy cavalry" deployed in the middle position and almost unharmed began to show their original appearance as assault cavalry.

"Is it really the effect of illusion?"

Looking at this miraculous transformation scene on the battlefield, Burt was surprised and mused: "It seems that the white knight obviously predicted the opponent's judgment, and then he will be able to predict the weight of the group illusion in advance." The infantry were deployed on both sides of the team."

"Things are really getting more and more interesting. The second prince's cavalry did not find a weakling, but became a weakling himself."

Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath of the air that smelled increasingly rich in blood, and refocused his increasingly fiery gaze on the battlefield below.

I saw that the heavy cavalry who had penetrated the opponent and the assault cavalry who were almost unscathed had already turned their horses, shouting the battle cry of charge, and fired at the disorganized Second Prince's front army and the light cavalry on the left wing. The second round of charge.

On the other side of the battlefield, the second prince's right-wing cavalry that was blocked by the swamp had been almost wiped out by the fierce attack of the eldest prince's left and right cavalry.

At this point, the situation on the battlefield has become very obvious.

Although at the beginning of the battle, the Second Prince took the lead and gained a considerable advantage.

But after going through the White Knight's swamp and vision, two consecutive methods.

The Second Prince's 10,000 light cavalry, who had originally planned to take advantage of the situation to attack the opponent, now became frost sheep waiting to be slaughtered. It was only a matter of time before they were completely annihilated.

Looking at the chaotic Second Prince's cavalry team in the center of the battlefield and the twisted corpses everywhere, Lei Xiao took a deep breath.

Fortunately, this is the strength of the opponent. If the soldiers under his command suffered such heavy losses, I am afraid that the hope of victory will become even slimmer.

"Being able to force both sides to use these trump cards is undoubtedly a fortunate thing for me. Otherwise, it is very likely that the soldiers under my command will fall."

Looking at the tragic scene of the two noble forces fighting under the mountain top, Lei Xiao fell into deep thought again: "Now the scale of victory has completely tilted towards the side of the great prince's forces led by the white knight."

"And the forces of the second prince led by the mysterious commander, as well as 10,000 cavalry and the remaining troops in the camp, if they retreat, the remaining troops in the camp and the light cavalry trapped in the quagmire will inevitably be completely wiped out by the white knights. "

"It is not difficult to see from this that the mysterious commander who commands the second prince's forces will definitely counterattack even though he is defeated, right?"

A hint of curiosity immediately appeared in Lei Xiao's eyes, and he said leisurely: "I wonder what other trump cards the second prince's mysterious commander can bring out? It's really exciting."

At this time, Lei Xiao clearly understood.

Just as I thought, the more the two consume each other, the more beneficial it is to me.

The more the two's trump cards are exposed, the more they wish for.

"Then let me see what the second prince's mysterious commander will do at such a disadvantage."

Lei Xiao squinted his eyes and stared at the increasingly fierce battlefield down the mountain.
