Chapter 362: Dark Tremor

These cavalrymen ran scattered across the wilderness, dodging the artillery bombardments that fell on the ground from time to time. When they approached the phalanx of spears and shields, they formed a tight triangular spearhead, accelerating continuously, with the sound of thundering hooves, like a whistling train rushing straight towards the phalanx of flames.

Bullets flew through the air and hit the cavalrymen's breastplates. Some of them created dents, some penetrated directly, bringing up a few blood splatters, and some just passed by, leaving only sporadic sparks on the armor.

After only two rounds of shooting, these cavalrymen crashed into this hedgehog-like phalanx. The long spear shafts penetrated into the formation, and the force that had been accumulated on the lances for a long time exploded directly, knocking away the resisting soldiers one by one, and then the horses' hooves stepped on them, trampling their fragile bodies.

Round after round, the Landsworthy family's proud cavalry displayed their superb skills and broke through the fragile musket shield wall of the coalition forces.

However, the noble coalition also possessed a wealth of military talent, having already established layer upon layer of defenses across the wilderness, like a boundless wave. From the giant eagle's gaze, the broken lines ahead looked like pearls ripped from a necklace, the scattered particles gradually retreating, then gathering in the rear, where, under the command of the officers, they formed new lines of defense.

At the same time, when the center was under attack, the wings on both sides were also slowly advancing, gradually forming a huge inverted V line of oppression. The sea of ​​guns and shields in the center was densely packed, like an abyss, intimidating the enemy on the opposite side and making them gradually lose the will to charge.

The number of troops in the Landsworth family's army was only about one-third of the coalition forces. Although they were highly trained and had extraordinary elite troops, they had to become more and more cautious when facing the gradually approaching army.

The most elite knights will not be deployed easily, because once they fail and see no hope, their morale will collapse dramatically.

"Heh, it seems the other party is well prepared."

In Landsworthy's army, Hugh Lill, the eldest son, rode on a horse, watching the enemy's slowly advancing front through a telescope, constantly shrinking the space between the two armies.

This wilderness is located between two large hills. If we bypass it, it will not only waste a lot of time, but there is also no guarantee that there will be no obstacles on the other side. Therefore, the reinforcements of the Landsworthy family must break through here.

"Then let's do as they wish."

"Set up the shield wall and phalanx, and prepare for close combat!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Then, the horn sounded on the battlefield, and the infantry of the Landsworthy family stepped forward, put their shields in front, and then placed muskets behind the shields and began to shoot. Behind them, there were also rows of extended long guns on the ground, which were then placed in the notches on the shields.

The soldiers of both sides began to approach each other, and the muskets fired continuously, hitting the shields and sending out sparks. Some of the shields were shattered and disintegrated, and then another shield was put down, layer by layer, to ensure that the soldiers in the rear would not be hit by bullets.

Finally, when the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters, Landsworthy's soldiers, under the command of the officer, suddenly drew out the shields in front of them and began to charge. After only half a round of shooting, the front rows of the two sides collided violently.

After close combat, the coalition forces' spears and muskets quickly lost their effectiveness, while the Landsworth infantry's well-prepared daggers began to exert their power, constantly killing the opposing soldiers and pushing back step by step.

"Not good, not good." The observer on the back of the giant eagle murmured, and then sent out an orange signal.

Soon the rear of the coalition forces took action. One by one, swift swordsmen in light military uniforms, blessed by magic, jumped onto the shields in the army formation. As light as a swallow, they moved forward quickly as if walking on flat ground.

These swift swordsmen all wielded rapiers, which were tough and three-edged, designed to penetrate armor. After arriving at the front line, they quickly assisted in the counterattack, piercing the soldiers of the Landsworth family one by one. Even the shields could not stop the flashing cold thorns and were easily pierced through and penetrated into the flesh and blood bodies behind them.

As a result, the advance of the Landsworth family's front line slowed down, and the coalition forces quickly replaced the front-line soldiers with shield and sword soldiers who were suitable for close combat.

"The opportunity is fleeting." Looking at those swift swordsmen who, after completing their mission, fought and retreated, and then disappeared behind the shield wall, Xu Lier could not help but admire the commander on the opposite side for his quick reaction and good cooperation among the soldiers.

"However, this is just the beginning. How many times have your coalition forces gone through training? How many such tactics do you have left?" After saying this, he raised his right hand, and a desolate horn sounded behind him.

The shields opened up layer by layer, making way for the two-handed heavy swordsman who was walking heavily in the back.

These heavy swordsmen were all covered in armor and held two-handed swords. When they walked to the front row, a light blue light emerged from the armor, connected into one, and entered a state of resonance and coordination. When the bullets and swords in front of them hit such armor, a sound like hammering iron was made, but the latter did not move at all, and the heavy sword in their hands slashed down directly.

These specially selected heavy swordsmen were tall in stature. When they swung their heavy swords in both hands, the shield-sword soldiers in front of them were split in half like broken dead wood, along with their shields.

They advanced along the way, leaving behind cries and splattered blood and flesh, which frightened many coalition soldiers and made them flee and retreat in fear.

Seeing that their morale was about to collapse, the orange-red signal flew up in the sky again, and the swift swordsmen who had left before rushed forward again. The rapiers in their hands, infused with magic power, were enough to break through the armor and defense of these heavy swordsmen.

However, this was destined to be a tragic exchange, because the weak defenses of these swift swordsmen could not withstand the swing of the two-handed heavy swords, and they would often stab the opponent but die themselves. Only a small number of swift swordsmen with superb skills could survive while finding the enemy's flaws.
