Chapter 492 War 2

Two "porcupines" approached each other with their backs facing each other. The spikes on their "buttocks" finally touched each other, and then stabbed each other.

The people in the first row were the most unlucky. Those unfortunate soldiers were stabbed in the chest, throat, shoulder and leg by the spikes of the spears without dodging.

Almost at the same time, some injured people on both sides howled in pain, or fell to the ground without a sound.

After the casualties occurred, the soldiers in the first two rows immediately stopped or retreated subconsciously, twisting their bodies left and right as the opposite side's spear tip swung to avoid being stabbed.

The two phalanxes that were fighting almost stopped marching immediately, and only the soldiers in the first few rows of each side pointed their spears at the opposite side's face while dodging the other side's equally swinging spear tips.

The spears on both sides slapped or blocked each other in the gap in the middle.

The commanders of both sides issued orders one after another, using roars and whips to urge their subordinates to move forward, trying to get them to stab their spears into the bodies of the enemies on the opposite side at the risk of getting injured or killed.

But every time they shouted an order, they could only move their troops forward a little bit, and after casualties occurred, the soldiers would spontaneously retreat.

Contact, disengagement, contact, disengagement... The two armies kept repeating this process, which made Lister feel uneasy.

At this time, smoke and dust appeared on the road leading to the east. Lister looked up and found that a cavalry was running fast.

This cavalry was obviously a level higher than the two infantrymen who were fighting. Everyone was wearing armor and carrying lances.

Some people in the Yebu army discovered this cavalry approaching quickly from their side and rear, and almost instantly, their formation began to become chaotic.

Some people turned their spears towards the rushing cavalry, and some people stood their spears on the ground, at a loss. The most unlucky ones were the first few rows who were fighting, and many people were stabbed because of distraction.

The cavalry gradually formed a wedge formation as they approached quickly. When they were about 40 to 50 meters away from the Yebu army, all the horses suddenly accelerated together and rushed towards the Yebu army at a very fast speed.

When the horse of the leading cavalryman was about to hit the enemy's spear tip, it neighed and jumped high with its forelimbs, and stopped itself at the last moment, but this did not affect the master on its back from accurately and powerfully stabbing his lance. This cavalryman was so well-trained that it seemed as if he grew up with the horse under his crotch and shared a body.

The Yebu soldier in front of him watched in horror as the lance pierced his chest, and fell down powerlessly with reluctance and residual fear.

The cavalryman who succeeded in one strike drew back his weapon and immediately turned his horse's head to run away.

The companions who followed closely were also repeating his actions. In fact, his companions were only a few breaths behind the Yebu soldiers when they fought, because the final charge was too fast.

Not all cavalrymen were as lucky as the leading cavalryman. Some did not hit the target, and some did not find a suitable target. However, none of them stopped to fight, and all of them immediately turned their horses around and broke away from the Yebu soldiers.

The first round of cavalry attacks did not cause many casualties, and those who fell were immediately replaced by those behind them, but the phalanx of the Yebu army had begun to loosen as a whole. Those timid soldiers still stood in their positions honestly, while some brave or meritorious people ran out of the phalanx with their weapons when the cavalry began to withdraw. They thought they could achieve results with their spears before the opponent's horses sped up, but their wishes were all in vain. The commander shouted loudly to let these fools return to their positions.

The cavalrymen who had distanced themselves from the phalanx adjusted their formation in a very short time. They repeated the previous fighting method again, and blew towards the phalanx of the Yebu army like a gust of wind again, but this wind was wrapped with deadly blades, and every time it blew, it could cause casualties to the Yebu soldiers.

The phalanx of the Yebu army began to loosen up in the wind-like cavalry raids again and again. The fear brought by instinct made the soldiers subconsciously want to stay away from crowded places, because crowded places often become the priority targets of cavalry harassment.

In the end, only a few rows of soldiers who were originally facing the opponent's spearmen were still barely maintaining their formation - these rows of soldiers were obviously better protected and more disciplined than other soldiers.

Liszt, who saw cavalry fighting for the first time, gritted his teeth tightly. He was extremely scared and put himself in the shoes of the Yebu soldiers. How would he react when facing the enemy cavalry coming and going?

"Yebu is finished!"

A sad sigh with a bit of sobbing sounded next to him.

It was said by the coachman.

Under his instructions, Liszt looked in the direction he came from, and saw that the Yebu city in the distance had already risen with puffs of black smoke.

It seems that the battle is not only happening here. Has the city been rushed into?

"Sir, be thankful that we were able to escape in time."

He didn't know how to comfort the driver who had lost his hometown.

Liszt once again focused his attention on the nearby battle, where the cavalry of the church army began to charge again.

However, this seemed to be the last charge. The cavalry did not rein in the galloping horses, but let their mounts rush into the group of Yebu soldiers, because there was no dense forest of spears in front of them at this time, and the gap was large enough to dodge easily. Their long spears were immediately thrown on the ground after stabbing an enemy, and then they drew out their one-handed swords and slashed the Yebu soldiers around them.

The Yebu army, along with the few rows of soldiers in front who were relatively well disciplined, was soon killed and thrown into chaos, and the entire army collapsed.

Many people dropped their weapons and ran wildly, trying to escape the battlefield.

But these people were often quickly caught up by the cavalry and killed with a sword.

No mistake, one sentence, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

The remaining soldiers who were still on the battlefield but had no chance of winning also dropped their weapons, put their hands on the back of their heads, squatted or knelt on the ground, waiting for the enemy's disposal.

"Alas!"

Liszt sighed quietly, and said to the coachman: "Let's hide here for a while and go out after those people leave."

As soon as the voice fell, a woman's scream was heard behind him.

The two were shocked. It was the coachman's wife.

The coachman rushed to the place where they had hidden the carriage before like crazy. Liszt hesitated for a moment and ran over.

A heart-pounding scene appeared before his eyes. Three soldiers holding long swords were surrounding the carriage, and the driver's wife and children were hugging each other and crying.

"My lords!"

The driver knelt down with a plop.

He begged with tears in his eyes, "We... We are just ordinary people. Please let us go."
