In another area, both forces’ wings.
Our Allied Forces’ cavalry is engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy’s cavalry.
Our cavalry was nearly double the size of the enemy’s. But we actually didn’t have the upper hand.
“Sheet, how annoying the light infantry is!”
Rozel used their light infantry to make up for their cavalry.
Although, the light infantry cannot compete with the cavalry
But they still make up for the shortage of combat power.
Our cavalry was divided into two parts.
One is the Equus cavalry, which took charge of eliminating the enemy’s cavalry and infantry.
The other part is led by Roswald and is in charge of defeating the enemy’s elephants.
“Kill the elephants first! Let the foocking cavalry and infantry alone!”
While trying his best to control the horse that got hysterical by the elephant’s smell, Roswald aimed at the elephants’ weakness and threw the explosive spear.
The explosive spear pierced through the thick skin of the elephant.
Then, it exploded as the elephant.
After a blood rain, Roswald’s cloth was nearly drenched with elephant’s blood.
With a deafening noise, the elephant slowly fell down.
The rest of the cavalry under Roswald also threw their spears. Elephants began to fall into the ground one after the other.
But Roswald frowned.
“How strange. The rest of the elephants should be panicked and become unable to move.”
But the other elephants ignored the noise of the explosive spears and moved forward continuously.
Both horses and elephants are very sensitive. Normally, they will be agitated by the noise of the explosive spears. Maybe some of them are special and fearless.
But it is impossible that none of them got affected by the explosion.
Actually our own Equus cavalry was also affected by the noise, and are now struggling with fighting near the elephants and converging with the rest of our cavalry. Although, they could still fight with the enemy cavalry and light infantry.
“Maybe, a curse…”
Roswald wondered. Although he was right, had no way to prove it.
Rozel had already known that the Allied Forces are good at using explosive spears. The horses and elephants will be frightened by the noise and fire caused by this new weapon.
Obviously, they had done some special preparation for it.
Their sorcerers, led by Mari, fed these animals with drugs like marijuana and put some curses to keep animals in mania, which can make them become fearless of noise and fire.
But even so, we, the Allied Forces, still gradually gained the upper hand.
After all, we have a stronger cavalry. Once the enemy runs out of their elephants, they will fail.
All that remained was to surround the enemy with our Allied Forces’ cavalry before General Curiu charges through the center. Thus, the heavy infantry has an important role in stopping General Curiu.
That is the key to victory.
「■■■■■!!!!」
But suddenly, the ground began to shake fiercely and the sky was nearly covered with dust.
The 40 elephants in Rozel’s main force started charging towards us.
It seems that Rozel is giving up their slave troops and is focusing on destroying the center of the Allied Forces first.
But, it’s impossible!
“Nothing to fear!! Kill these foocking elephants!”
While encouraging our soldiers, I changed the formation.
I commanded the light infantry to charge forward while the heavy infantry retreats further back.
We shortened the distance with the elephants through this new formation.
I swung my sword as I charged past an elephant. Behind me, the elephant fell down.
I cut off its legs perfectly in half.
“Release the explosive spears! If we run out, throw the javelins towards the elephants’ legs.”
“Stone throwers and archers, aim at the elephant riders!”
Our attack started.
Our light infantry was divided into small teams of 5, only in this way can we maximize our mobility and minimize the impact force brought by the elephants.
Elephants gradually fell down because of the explosive spears, or pierced by javelins making them fall and be killed in the ground.
Most elephants were dead in warfare. The rest which lost its beastmaster ran backed and instead broke Rozel’s formation.
Many Rozel’s soldiers were trampled to death by elephants.
“Emmm…”
Looking that the decreasing of elephants, Curiu frowned.
Elephants is a strategic resource but they Rozel had lost too much.
“Even compared with us Gallian, these Adernian soldiers is better than I thought.
The failure of elephants not only owed to the excellent command from Almus and Bartolo, also owed to these valiant Adernian soldiers.
