"That's the plan! I will personally lead my soldiers to the northern border of the German Empire and fight Seru Khan! You will lead a surprise attack on the Kuruth Kingdom … Once and for all! "
"Yes, my lord!" The general clenched his right fist and pressed it against his chest as he bowed his head in response, "Long live the German Empire!"
A day later, Alonso led nearly thirty thousand imperial soldiers and met up with a few thousand retreating soldiers on the outskirts of the German Empire. They blocked the only path from Blackstone Castle to Kelandil.
That afternoon, Seru Khagan led nearly fifty thousand grassland cavalrymen and ten thousand infantrymen and appeared in the distance from Alonso's camp.
As it was already late, both sides had no intention of fighting that day. Alonso sent someone to deliver a letter to Seru Khan, condemning his despicable actions of starting a war without declaring war.
In the end, Seru Khan replied with a letter of his own, demanding that Alonso surrender immediately and hand over all his wealth and territory.
Of course, both sides would not call a truce just like that. They would only rest and reorganize themselves in preparation for the final battle. Early the next morning, Alonso led his soldiers out of his camp, ready to fight to the death with Seru Khan.
Seru Khan also intended to finish the battle in one fell swoop. He led his main infantry and all his cavalry, setting up a formation three leagues away from Alonso's army.
"Dong! Dong! Dong! " The dull sound of war drums beat on everyone's chests, causing the air to thicken and making it difficult to breathe.
War banners fluttered in the wind, and the dense cavalry stood before Alonso like a forest.
The dark patterns on Alonso's armour twined around, exquisite and exquisite as they shimmered with a cold light. The warhorse under him snorted restlessly, and its bowl-sized hooves kept stomping on the ground.
"We have too little infantry, less than twenty-five thousand men! We can't let the enemy attack! Otherwise, we won't have the capital to deal with them! " Alonso planned his next tactic in his heart, his fingers tapping lightly on the hilt of his sword. This was a habit of his. Every time he was thinking, he liked to tap his fingers on a hard object.
The five thousand cavalry he had were to counterattack and clean up the battlefield. They could not easily join the battle at this time.
Thus, he did not have the capital to exhaust the enemy. He could only rely on firepower to defeat the enemy, quickly turning the battle into a one-sided pursuit.
"Give the order! The Magic Crystal Cannoneers loaded the Magic Explosive Shells and got ready to fire! Wait for my order! "As Alonso thought of this, he turned sideways and ordered a messenger beside him.
The messenger pulled the reins and immediately went off to relay Alonso's order. At this moment, on the horizon, the phalanx of the Kurut Kingdom began to move forward slowly to the accompaniment of the war drums.
"My Lord! The enemy's army's army! A phalanx of twenty thousand is child's play! "A general of the Kurut Kingdom rode up to Seru Khagan and reported loudly.
Khan Seru Khan's's right, Seru ' The enemy's forces were so low that they could not support the defensive line.
No matter how many schemes there were, whether they were attacking from behind or from the side, they had to maintain a certain number of troops to withstand the enemy's attacks.
Alonso's army was pitifully low. It was impossible to maintain a frontal defence. Seru Khan only needed to attack once to break through the enemy's defensive line. In this situation, there was no need to think about defending the flanks or the rear.
"Hahahaha!" Seru Khan pointed with his horsewhip in the direction of the imperial army and said proudly to the general beside him, "It's like the commander of the imperial army has never fought before. He can't even withstand a single blow!"
"Let the cavalry attack! The cavalry will crush them and we'll win this battle! "The general suggested with a smile.
"No!" Seru Khan waved his hand as if he was devising a strategy. His expression became even more arrogant, "He still has cavalry on the flanks. I won't take the risk!"
"Give the order! All troops, advance! I'm different from this brat who likes to use schemes! I'll charge head-on! Invulnerable! Let's see what he can do! Hahahaha! "Seru Khan rejected his general's suggestion and ordered himself.
Behind him, the war drums beat even more rapidly. The Kuruth army began to move forward one after another.
At this moment, he heard the sound of thunder resounding through the sky. At this moment, he did not realize that the thunder came from hell and could devour life.
A magical explosive bomb landed in the middle of the Kuruth cavalry formation. The explosion sent debris and shrapnel flying, cutting into the bodies of the warhorses and the soldiers. It was a bloody storm.
The warhorses neighed in the explosion. All the Kuruth cavalry looked in the direction of the explosion in horror, not knowing what had happened.
Next, the second explosion also sounded among the cavalry, and thick smoke billowed into the sky. The shrapnel turned into a hurricane that swept through everyone nearby, piercing through everything that stood in its way.
"Ah!" A knight whose leg had been cut off by the explosion fell from his warhorse and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Unfortunately, his scream was drowned out by the third explosion, and no one noticed.
Next, more explosions bloomed in the Kuruth army. In an instant, the Kuruth flag was thrown to the side. The soldiers covered their heads and fled. The neat formation was no more.
Before Seru Khagan could react, the second volley of magic bombs whistled through the air. The noise, more terrifying than the snoring of a demon, once again reverberated above the Kurut army.
Boom! A magical explosive bomb exploded not far behind Seru Khan, sending the war drums and his guards flying. The flagpole of his family's flag was shattered by the explosion, and the broken pieces of the flag slowly drifted to the ground.
The blade-like air waves caused Seru Khagan's warhorse to whinny in pain. Seru Khagan used all his strength to stabilize his horse. He then raised his head and looked around.
His cavalry formation was in chaos. The warhorses and the knights were fleeing in all directions. His infantry formation was in disarray and had suffered heavy losses.
The huge explosion formed a terrible crater. Around the crater, there were broken limbs and corpses scattered everywhere.
Further away, the injured soldiers held their wounds and screamed. The uninjured soldiers stared at the people around them, not knowing what to do. They tried their best to yell and recover their hearing.
