"Hold still! Those who retreat will die!" The officers howled and hacked to death the retreating and hesitating men, but the waves of fireballs overwhelmed the soldiers.

The strong aroma of barbecue coming down the wind was enough to shake their will to fight, because it was not a human being, it was a flame that could not think, could not pity, and could not be defeated! Compared with this kind of attack, the far-end firepower of the merchant army was completely

Not enough to watch.

"Sir, the Sibia people's counterattack is very sharp." In the headquarters, the adjutant looked at the group commander and said.

"Let the second echelon be dispatched." The cluster commander calmly ordered, "Most of the counterattack force is concentrated at the south gate. There must be something weird here. Go all up and strive for a breakthrough!"

"The Chiru Canal Demon Palace Warriors - have arrived at the impact line!"

"The Bilun Valley Attack Regiment——is advancing at full speed!"

"The Baku Province task force is progressing well - the siege engines are on the way!"

At the sound of the order, the second echelon of the merchant army's attack on the south gate accelerated. Their forwards almost pushed the remaining troops of the previous wave forward - but the remaining troops of the first wave were surrounded by flames and were roasted by the high temperature.

The soldiers had obviously become sluggish, and the formation had become chaotic. The disoriented soldiers and the burning areas blocked the attack path of half of the latecomers.

The local congestion slowed down the follow-up troops, but the extremely excited forwards were not affected at all and smoothly rushed to a place hundreds of arms away from the city wall. Individual soldiers were almost within reach of the city wall.

"Business Corps Army!" the gentle major general staff officer on the city wall shouted loudly, "Go and eat shit!"

The officers and soldiers of the merchant group closest to the south gate couldn't help but raise their heads, searching with bloodthirsty eyes for the voice that dared to offend the dignity of the merchant group, but what they saw next was a scene that stunned them - the originally towering

The suspension bridge fell down with a "gurgling" pulley sound.

"Boom!" With a sound, the top of the thickened bridge plate hit the south bank of the moat. Several soldiers of the Merchant Corps who could not escape were smashed into meat paste. The dust blew up like "whoosh..." and confused a lot of people.

human eyes.

After their expressions froze for a moment, cheers that shook the sky rang out from the Merchant Corps: "It's the internal agent!", "Our internal agent has opened the city gate!", "It's glorious, we will be the first to enter Regenburg.

Troops!", "Praise to the great Dark Lord!"

But at this time, in the merchant army headquarters, the generals who were nervously paying attention to the war felt their hearts sinking, and an ominous premonition permeated their surroundings... because they knew that their internal forces had been wiped out by the Sibia people.

Even a few people escaped, and it was impossible to break through a key location like the city gate from the inside!

Someone whispered: "Could it be...no way! How can Sibia launch a counterattack with that little defense force?"

The Sibyans immediately solved the mystery. At the dark city gate, they added another heavy roar to the hustle and bustle of the battlefield!

A huge golden flag rushed out of the door, shining brightly in the firelight. Countless knights in black clothes and armor emerged from under the flag. Their iron hooves trampled on the heavy suspension bridge, and they rushed to the south bank of the moat in an instant, and then separated into two wings.

Flying shears, forming a soul-stirring black tide.

"Cavalry!" The soldiers in the vanguard array of the Merchant Corps screamed in despair, "This is Sbia's cavalry!"

"Cavalry counterattack!" All the generals in the merchant army headquarters were momentarily distracted. No one could have imagined that there would be a cavalry counterattack at this time. This not only showed that the previous sneak attack was ineffective, but also that there were serious errors in the pre-war intelligence!

The staff officer shouted: "Deploy an anti-cavalry array!"

"Move forward!" roared the officers of the merchant corps under the city wall, "Think of your backs and your families. Those who retreat will die!"

"Ciceria!" The vanguard of the merchant army knew that they were in a dead end. These brave soldiers did not look back, but continued to attack without hesitation under the command of the officers. They desperately and tragically faced the notorious Sibi.

Sub-cavalry attack!

However, their only final outcome was to be smashed into a pulp by the surging torrent of steel! Because those at the front were the Sbia heavy cavalry that no one had ever seen before!

Each knight was wrapped in thick black iron armor, and even the mounts beneath him were covered in a pair of soft armor. The lances in their hands were all black, and there was an icy cold light on the tip of the lance, which flashed continuously.

Murderous intention. Nearly a thousand of the merchant army's vanguard, armed with sabers and small shields, were reduced to nothing under the iron hoof, and they were not even able to cause substantial damage to the Sibia cavalry.

The vanguard was instantly wiped out, and the cavalry assault continued forward. However, the suspension bridge behind showed no signs of being retracted, and the cavalry continued to surge outwards!

"How many people are there?" At the Merchant Corps Army Headquarters, the cluster commander ordered, "We must block them before they attack the position!"

"It's now two thousand, and it's still increasing." The staff officer replied, "Anti-cavalry phalanx has been sent to support, and magicians have also gone up."

Having suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Sibia cavalry, the Merchant Corps Army was quite effective in operating anti-cavalry units. Several pikemen phalanxes that had been deployed before immediately blocked them, followed by other cooperating phalanxes.

, they are all elite troops of the merchant army, which also reflects from the side the merchant army's fear of Sbia's cavalry.

In previous wars, the Sibia cavalry left only pain and regret to their opponents. Although the most notable feature is flexibility and maneuverability, the destructive power and impact of the Sibia light cavalry exceeded the opponent's endurance limit. It has been said

It is unclear how many wars were ended by the Sbia Hussars, as if they were born to serve as terminators.

In fact, in a siege battle, the attacker will defend against the other party's counterattack. However, the merchant army was fully prepared, but they did not expect that the heavy cavalry that was attacking them at this time was more terrifying than the light cavalry! This is also an imitation of advanced war thinking.

Everyone knew that Sibia was fully committed to developing light cavalry, so they took it for granted that they had abandoned heavy cavalry, but no one did an in-depth study of the opponent's tactical thinking - they had never developed heavy cavalry, but Sibia never denied this.

The role of arms.

Sibia's requirements for offensive arms are flexibility, durability and universal usability. Heavy cavalry obviously does not meet this requirement. In fact, heavy cavalry is an active defensive unit in the eyes of the Sibia people because it has great impact on logistics.

It is highly dependent and has great operational limitations. Most importantly, it cannot maneuver quickly and over long distances...but when it appears as a defensive force, these disadvantages are avoided.

So here and now, this heavy cavalry made full use of Sbia's flexible tactics - at the moment before the enemy's attack, it carried out violent and continuous long-range attacks on the enemy, causing its front army formation to collapse.

There was chaos and even blocked the passage of the follow-up troops. Then the heavy cavalry took advantage of the chaos and launched a thunderous counterattack.

Passing through the non-threatening forward line of the merchant army, a cavalry general wearing heavy armor with two huge gold stars embroidered on his chest raised his heavy sword towards the array of merchant army: "Sbia Cavalry -

—Break the formation!”

"Breaking formation?" The generals in the headquarters of the Merchant Corps almost bit off their tongues. "More than two thousand cavalry use a breaking formation to fight a group? Do you think our anti-cavalry square formations are all made of paper?"

"The remaining gates will attack normally, and the south gate will send an additional anti-cavalry phalanx to completely defeat this new force!" Commander Lieutenant General was also very popular with Sibia, but he still kept a cool head, "Add an additional anti-cavalry phalanx.

Hou, the magician is on the front line."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The continuous sound of war drums sounded on Regenburg. The heavy cavalry formed a single-push formation with a main body of fifty knights wide, accompanied by a group of light cavalry on each wing. They moved towards the merchant group like a black tide.

The central phalanx of the army rolled away - the knights leveled their spears, the ribbons on their helmets fluttered, the mounts under their crotches gradually accelerated, and the thunderous sound of hoofbeats drowned out all the noise on the battlefield.

The enemy's attack rhythm has been disrupted, and there is a blank area on the battlefield. They can neither rush into the open city gate nor stop the cavalry from accelerating. At least for now, the heavy cavalry is invincible!

Amidst the sound of drums, every plant and tree began to tremble!
