Rise In Calradia

　　 On the snowy field of Vikia, a pirate equipped with Nord-style chain mail is carrying a big axe, holding a bow and arrow, and pushing towards the gate of the village in front of him, a defense line composed of more than a hundred farmers and militiamen.

　　 The pirate leader who was as strong as a bear wore a thick chain mail, a cloak, and a battle axe with a disdainful expression on his face.

　　 He walked in front of the team and yelled twice from time to time. When he saw the farmers holding farm tools and the few poorly equipped soldiers retreating timidly under his own roar, he would laugh with satisfaction, and the surrounding soldiers would be even more excited.

They will kill all the men in the village, plunder their belongings, defile their women, then return to the speedboat, never freeze the river into the sea, and return to their stronghold with these ill-gotten wealth. Together with other people, rush back to my hometown before winter.

　　 This will be the last plunder of their journey, in their opinion this can't be easier.

　　 They have more than a hundred ferocious and well-equipped warriors, and the opponent is just a group of villagers.

　　 The winner is divided.

　　 Their footsteps are getting faster and faster, and the axe and shield have also been placed in front of them.

　　 As long as their leader roars as usual, these pirate fighters will rush to each other and take away the lives of the poor people.

　　 However, the smile on the leader's face quickly disappeared, his feet slowed down, and his head twisted back.

　　The other pirates were a little confused, but then they heard the sound of horseshoes that became clearer and clearer, with a clear rhythm and dense voice.

　　 Along with the roar of the dialect from the north, the pirates in rows turned around, raised their shields, and walked steadily towards the back.

　　 In the process, the pirates armed with javelins and throwing axes also moved from the front of the previous team to the front of the current team.

　　 In the village on the other side, the faces of the villagers also showed doubts. There is no Vikia's garrison nearby. They can't think of who is here, whether it is an enemy or a friend here.

　　 A figure appeared in the distance, and the pirates also stopped. The pirates with spears all raised their spears and erected their shields to form a simple square.

　　Although they are all robbers, their formation is indeed a standard Nord phalanx, and they are very good in foot combat.

　　 But when the cavalry appeared, these Nordic robbers also rushed to fear, stepped back more than a dozen steps, and the formation also appeared a certain amount of confusion.

　　 hordes of armored war horses, carrying heavy cavalry on horseback. The horse's hoof trampled on the ground, stirring up the dust on the ground.

　　 These cavalry robes are all painted with red peony patterns.

　　 And it is different from the cavalry team that these pirates saw before. These cavalry are divided into two parts, one part is a heavy cavalry with a large interval and holding a lance. There is a wide gap between them, and they will not block each other.

The other part of the cavalry are light cavalry armed with sabers and long swords. The horses are not armored, and the distance between them is only one and a half steps. More than 70 cavalry gathered together, more densely than any other in Swadia. Cavalry troops.

　　 They held their swords and swords forward, their paces were neat, the whole team had only two rows, but because they were densely arranged, they moved forward like a wall, crushing the courage and fighting spirit of the pirates.

The distance of one hundred meters quickly passed under the gallop of the war horse. The pirates threw their javelins and throwing axes. Several of the cavalry who were charging fell off the horse, and the riders behind They bypassed.

　　 However, compared to heavy cavalry units with thick armor and farther apart, those light cavalry that lined up in walls will be more affected. When the people in front fell, the cavalry behind would be somewhat blocked, and the team was a little messy.

　　 However, the cavalry also launched a counterattack. The cavalry in the back row threw their javelins and flail into the opposing infantry unit, causing a lot of chaos.

　　 Soon, whether it was the heavy cavalry attacking from the front or the light cavalry phalanx from the flanks, they all rushed in front of the pirates.

　　 Riding a gun to provoked a person's body and pierced the person's chest. The war horse in burqa and chain armor with the rider on it slammed into the group of pirates. Faced with such a fierce impact, many pirates' spears broke, and the cavalry unit directly rammed into their team, tearing the phalanx directly from the front with several holes.

　　 And the cavalry on the flanks lined up in a wall formation also crashed on the Nord shield wall. As the spear pierced the horse's body, the scimitar and the long sword were also slashed from above. Various types of maces and battle axes also smashed at the pirates.

　　 The horse knocked over the Nord soldiers in the front row, and the swords of the riders were also brandishing among the crowd.

Although the casualties were high, when this cavalry wall hit the infantry's phalanx, the formation of these Nord pirates was directly knocked out of a gap. Many pirates fell to the ground and were directly stepped on by the cavalry. past.

　　 When the infantry of the Peony Mercenary followed the cavalry's footsteps, the pirate's phalanx was dispersed by the cavalry. After one-third of the people were killed by the opposing cavalry, the remaining pirates were surrounded by a large number of cavalry.

　　Those pirates collided in the enclosure like headless flies, were cut into small pieces by the cavalry, and gradually disappeared.

　　 A total of ten minutes, the battle was over~www.readwn.com~ The casualties of the Peony mercenaries were not small, but the cavalry alone defeated these ferocious pirates, which was already a great success.

　　 "The cavalry tactics have been improved, and the discipline should also be strengthened. If the casualties are too great, we will be the one to break."

　　Byron has been observing the results of this period of training from a distance before, and he needs to see the effect of the wall offensive here. So far, it looks good. The casualties are relatively high, but as long as they are well trained, the light cavalry can exert the effect of the heavy cavalry, which is very cost-effective.

　　 "Not bad, your idea is really good. But the people in the first row are dying, and the mercenary consciousness is still not enough. We still need to strengthen training."

Fatis nodded. Byron’s cavalry tactics are very interesting. It enhances the density of cavalry and strengthens the impact force. This point has also been considered by officers before, but it is so beautifully applied to practice. Byron was still the first.

　　 Eleon also nodded slightly, admitting that this tactic was effective.

　　 However, instead of discussing this issue, he raised a lance with a peony flag, and then trot to the village on a military horse.

　　 The villagers still didn't put down their weapons, looking at him suspiciously and vigilantly, as well as the group of soldiers behind him.

　　 "You are safe!"

　　 Eleon raised his head proudly and said to the villagers.

　　 "We are peony mercenaries! We accepted the lord's entrustment, and you are now saved!"

　　 In the following half a month, the Peony mercenaries wiped out a number of pirate teams that had looted in the territory of Vickia, and expelled a group of Koujit robbers.

　　While earning a large sum of dinars, the names of Byron and Peony mercenaries have gradually spread throughout the Kingdom of Wichia.
