"The Silver Sea Oasis is the largest oasis around here. []" Roger on the back of the gryphon shouted to Sophia not far away: "Go down and give them a good look, as long as you remember not to
It’s too harsh on civilians.”
After all, Roger was influenced by the ideas on Earth. He felt that such enemies should be severely punished, but if they massacred civilians, it would still be too much. After all, in Roger's mind, massacring civilians would
Only a terrorist can do this, and it's really hard for him to do this.
Although the wind was strong in the air, both Roger and Sophia were strong men. Roger's words still reached the ears of the dragon girl clearly. Sophia gave Roger a surprised look, and then
She asked with a delicate smile: "What if they resist?"
"If you resist..." Roger gritted his teeth and said, "shoot to death!"
Very satisfied with Roger's answer, Sophia smiled domineeringly: "Oh hehehe... you are becoming more and more manly, I like it!"
The griffins were flying very fast, and as the two of them were talking they were getting closer and closer to the oasis in front of them. In the clear blue sky, the two griffons with golden manes were very eye-catching, and the guards of the oasis had already discovered them.
He was so empty that he blew the alarm horn desperately.
Since the beginning of the war, the defensive strength of the Silver Sea Oasis has been greatly weakened. One legion's troops have been transferred to the border of the Kingdom of Thorne in the north. The only ones left in the oasis are some second-line troops, and these soldiers lined up in panic to prepare for battle.
, but unexpectedly two griffons landed behind the sand dunes near the oasis.
In order to protect the oasis, the commander of the garrison, Monza, immediately ordered his soldiers to advance in formation. Although the two griffons were very formidable enemies, it was difficult to take advantage in front of half a legion of soldiers. Monza felt that as long as
Ordering the legion to charge several times can force the griffins away from the oasis.
Just now, the gryphon was still some distance away from the oasis. The sentry only noticed two monsters approaching, but did not notice that there was someone riding on the back of the gryphon. So starting from Monza and all his soldiers, including the residents of the oasis,
They all thought that the two wild griffins that landed were just trying to settle in the oasis. They did not expect that a fatal crisis for the Silver Sea Oasis was already approaching.
The combat effectiveness of the Desert Kingdom's second-line army was very average. The heavily armed soldiers began to pant not long after running under the scorching sun. However, under the supervision of Monza and other officers, the soldiers still maintained a relatively neat formation and quickly
Like going to the top of a sand dune.
Monza's plan is very simple. Let the soldiers climb up the sand dunes, and then rush down in good formation. At the same time, let the crossbowmen support the infantry in the rear. The griffon is a very smart monster, and its habits are not addictive.
Blood is easy to kill. After discovering that there are so many human activities in this oasis, it is very likely that it will leave here and find another habitat.
However, when the confident Monza led his men to climb to the top of the dune, they were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them. Dozens of steps behind the dune, there was an army neatly arranged! This army
The number of people on his side was at least twice as large as that on his side. The heavily armored pikemen stood in a tight formation at the front, followed closely by the half-armored swordsmen, and finally
The crossbowmen above were all ready to shoot. The bowstrings of their longbows and heavy crossbows were all stretched tightly. They were just waiting for Roger's order to launch a fatal attack. The weapons of all the soldiers reflected dazzlingly in the sun.
The light made it difficult for everyone on the sand dunes to open their eyes. At this moment, Monza felt that his mind went blank, and he completely forgot what orders he should give to his soldiers.
Roger would not be in a daze like Monza. He had already been prepared. He waited until the enemy appeared on the top of the sand dune and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to attack.
Thousands of crossbowmen fired arrows at the same time, and the arrows flew across the sky like locusts. The scene was extremely spectacular. But for the enemies on the sand dunes, this was not a good thing. Although Monza had warned in time
His men paid attention to defense, but it didn't have much effect.
The combat effectiveness of the second-line army is indeed very weak. Many soldiers react too slowly after hearing the order. Many soldiers were shot by oncoming arrows before they could make any movement. Soldiers of the first-line army in the desert country
None of them were equipped with armor, let alone the second-line army. Arrows were fired at soldiers who were not wearing armor at all, causing huge casualties as expected. Many soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and the originally unorganized team became
It got even more confusing.
Seeing the tragic situation of their companions around them, the uninjured soldiers also panicked. Some of them still managed to stick to their posts, while others were already looking around nervously, trying to find a way to escape.
However, Monza was still calm. While letting his officers control the soldiers, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Archers, shoot!"
Monza's idea is very simple. Since the enemy's crossbowmen can cause huge casualties, then the crossbowmen on his side can also do it. What's more, the crossbowmen on his side still have the advantage of the terrain to launch an attack.
The rear lethality should be stronger.
However, Monza has been serving as the commander of the second-line army. Even he did not realize that his grasp of the battle situation was very poor. The short bow of the desert archer was not strong enough, coupled with the amazing defense of the heavy spear.
Ability, even if it takes advantage of the terrain, it can't cause any damage to the enemy.
Although the arrows fired by the desert archers were quite astonishing, most of them were blocked by the shields and armor of the heavily armored spearmen. Only some unlucky soldiers were injured when the arrows penetrated through the gaps in the armor. However,
After all, such things are rare, so they did not have any impact on Roger's formation.
However, Roger's crossbowmen took advantage of this period to launch two more strikes, causing heavy casualties to Monza's soldiers. Several hundred people had fallen to the ground, and even Monza himself was injured.
Monza fell to the ground slumped with an arrow in his thigh. Seeing that even the general fell to the ground and did not know whether to live or die, the morale of the soldiers simply fell to the bottom. Most of the soldiers were full of fighting spirit, and even the officers felt that this battle
There was doubt that our side would be defeated. Some soldiers even dropped their weapons and began to flee, making the scene even more chaotic.
Roger could tell from the enemy's disorganized formation that these guys were on the verge of collapse. Just a little more pressure would cause them to be completely defeated. So he summoned all the enemies behind him without hesitation.
The light cavalry ordered these warriors to start charging.
Those who stayed at the Silver Sea Oasis were all light infantry. Suddenly they heard the sound of horse hooves behind them, and all these soldiers panicked. Although the opponent was also light cavalry, there was no hope of victory for the light infantry against the cavalry. Not to mention the desert warriors.
Or turn your back to the enemy, but
Moreover, his own morale had dropped to the bottom, and he no longer had the courage to fight the enemy. Roger's light cavalry became the last straw to crush the enemy. Many desert warriors shouted "Cavalry!" in horror.
They scattered and fled in all directions.
Frankly speaking, if more than two thousand desert warriors form a tight formation, they will indeed be a big threat to Roger's 500 light cavalry. Even if the light cavalry can finally break up the enemy's formation, it will still be a big threat.
There will definitely be a heavy price to pay. But now Roger no longer has to worry about his cavalry. They spread out on the desert like hungry wolves driving sheep, and began to hunt down the scattered enemies.
Battles in this world are like this. Once the morale of one side completely collapses, all the other side needs to do is clean up the battlefield. Roger ordered all soldiers to pursue the fleeing enemy and kill them as long as they were soldiers.
More than two thousand enemies are scattered on the desert. It is not easy to kill them all. After all, only the light cavalry under Roger can catch up with the enemy more easily. The other heavily armored spearmen and half-armored warriors
If you want to catch up with the enemy's light infantry,
It's not that easy anymore. Although these warriors are all strong and tall, they all carry equipment weighing dozens of kilograms, and they are in desert terrain that is not suitable for fast running. It is difficult to throw away those soldiers.
Weapons, light infantry wearing only linen clothes are faster.
As some enemies fled further and further away, Roger could no longer sit still. He really couldn't bring himself to massacre civilians, but he had no pressure to eliminate the opponent's soldiers on the battlefield. These are precious soul powers, absolutely
It can't be wasted like this.
So Roger, who was frugal by nature, summoned all the hippogryphs and griffins without hesitation, and let these flying pets join the ranks of hunting enemies. More than a hundred hippogryphs and dozens of griffins shuttled through the air.
, from time to time, someone would swoop down to kill the fleeing soldiers, leaving the battlefield empty as if there was an air show, which dazzled Roger.
Under attacks from both the ground and the air, the fleeing desert warriors had no hope of survival. However, after a while, all the enemies had been wiped out by Roger. Except for his soldiers, there were no more people near the sand dunes.
Not a single living person.
The discipline of Roger's soldiers was extremely strict. After the battle, they all gathered around him without saying a word and formed a neat formation. During the whole process, there was only the "squeaking" sound of the soldiers stepping on the sand.
There was only the sound of the howling wind outside, making the battlefield that was bustling with people just now suddenly become very quiet.
Roger glanced at the soldier behind him with an expression on his face, then smiled slightly at Sophia beside him and said: "Beautiful lady, would you like to go with me to the oasis in front of you?"
"I'm very willing!" Sophia also gave Roger a charming smile, and the two walked hand in hand towards the Silver Sea Oasis. Behind them were thousands of corpses strewn about, and bright red blood stains on the golden desert.
