Rise In Calradia

"Raising the spear, they rushed up!"

Swadia’s sergeants immediately raised their spears when they saw the approaching Lancers, and the surrounding Swadia infantry followed suit. Hundreds of spears were erected like a forest, ready to welcome the collision of these Lancers. .

Generally speaking, it is not a wise move to use heavy cavalry to attack the long spear phalanx, but there are so many cavalry that cannot hold the Kujites. Haitulu Qianhu has fought with the Khan for more than ten years, and he is very brave. Although his performance in command is quite ordinary, he still understands the basic tactics. Of course he may cause losses in this offensive method, but he still To do this. The reason is simple, because most of them are cavalry, and the few infantry who follow the battle are quite worrying. Those southern slaves and bandits and robbers are okay to bully the peasants. There is no chance of winning against a heavily armed group of infantry such as the opponent. of. Instead of letting them rush up and defeat directly and turn back and become an obstacle to the cavalry, it is more effective to let the heavy cavalry charge directly. What's more, he has cheap cavalry available for consumption.

At the forefront are the kurgit riders of the small tribes and the mixed cavalry of the Lancers of the Haitulu. Needless to say, the cavalry of the Haitulu, the cavalry of the small tribes are also full of courage, and they go forward bravely. If it goes well, it can attack the enemy's formation. If it doesn't go well, it can attract the pikemen's attack for the cavalry of its own troops.

"Throw a javelin!"

Matilde on the flank yelled again, and the Nord reserve behind the shield wall immediately grabbed the javelin and threw it at the Khergit cavalry who rushed across from the front of the entire unit. Bo fell into the Kujit cavalry. The dozens of heavy cavalry in the front row and their horses all had a few more javelins. The armor-piercing ability of these Nord javelins can be more powerful than bows and arrows at close range. Many of them, so those Khergit cavalry who were still able to fight with several arrows on their bodies fell off their horses, but these fallen soldiers and fallen horses did not hinder the cavalry behind. They bypassed or even stepped on them, and then carried the javelin. Continue to charge with the crossbow arrows in the back row, first throw a short javelin with the length of an arm and a stone the size of a fist into the spear phalanx with a gun or a moon knife in the other hand, and then rush directly into the crowd with long weapons in both hands.

Naturally, these stones and short javelins were not enough to destroy the formation of the spear formation, but they still injured some Swadia infantry. The spears in their hands were naturally unable to be gripped, and the effect of resisting the cavalry was greatly reduced. Kurgit's cavalry rushed into the formation, lanced and swung the moon knife.

But the dense lances still played their due role. Some lances penetrated the vest to stop the horses, and some infantrymen took the risk to stab upwards directly when the cavalry was approaching and insert the spear head into the cavalry's pierced armor. Penetrate one or two nail pieces and silk lining into the body. The pause of a few cavalry caused the cavalry in the rear to be unable to advance effectively, and the cavalry queue of Kujit was temporarily congested.

But soon, the heavy cavalry who arrived later changed their direction slightly and continued to sprint from a position close to the flanks. They either directly smashed the opponent's line with a strong impact, or they relied on thick armor to withstand the spear and slashed with a knife. The infantry blocking the road then stepped directly on the prairie warhorse. In any case, more and more cavalry squeezed into the array of advanced soldiers, they tried to disperse the crowd, and then continued to maintain the mobility and impact advantages of the cavalry to directly shred the entire infantry array from the center.

If you change to another Swadia infantry unit, then this powerful cavalry unit will most likely succeed. But at this time, Byron's battle regiment infantry, encouraged and persevered by the sergeants, although the infantry formation suffered a lot of casualties and was continuously attacked by subsequent cavalry, they still maintained the stability of the front.

"Stick to your ground!"

A simple command, a command that is not taken seriously by mercenaries and conscripts most of the time, but it is so important here, from military law to honor to the actual benefits given by Byron. The order is beyond doubt!

So the Swadia infantry company took the attack abruptly with long spears. Although the front three rows were scattered by the Kurgit heavy cavalry, the troops at the rear still held their spears firmly and kept stabling the cavalry in front. .

On the periphery, due to the previous retreat of the archers and the shift of the crossbowmen’s attacks, Kurgit’s archers and light cavalry successfully bypassed the flanks of this army and surrounded the entire army. They were approaching the enemy three. At a distance of ten steps, they rode war horses back and forth in circles, shooting arrows while running, and the positions and directions of several archers were not the same. They were staggered but they just happened to be able to cover each other, so that the bows of those archers would be better. Hard to aim.

They tried to harass the army’s front line with fast bows and arrows, but their strikes on the two wings did not have the desired effect, because the left-wing army was the Nord’s company that formed the shield wall, and the right-wing used broad shields to form squares. The Rhodok infantry company in the formation, and on both sides are equipped with spears and long spears, bows and arrows cannot break through the shield wall, and the light cavalry cannot break through this tight line of defense.

In contrast, the Swadia unit of the Chinese Army actually became the most easily breached part. After the Kugit’s Lancers and Cavaliers tried to break through the two wings and failed, they understood that it would be better to divide their forces to attack on the three sides than to break through them with all their strength. The middle army shred their front lines from the middle, and then flanked the divided wings.

They thought so, and Haitulu did exactly that. He personally led the Lancers to attack, constantly ramming the defense line composed of Swadia infantry. Under the trampling of the heavy cavalry, they could not support too much. After a long time, the Swadia infantry quickly withdrew back, and the Kujit cavalry had come into contact with the weaker light infantry front and the Vickia archer who took up melee weapons. But at this time the corpses of people and horses continued to accumulate on this not wide flat ground, which soon made it difficult for the Khergit steppe war horses to move, which slowed their approaching speed, and some Khergit cavalry even had Choose to dismount and fight.

Even Haitulu was surprised by the tenacity of this group of fighters, each of them was like the boat people, so

But overall, the Kujit infantry has arrived, the slaves have joined the battle to try to break through the infantry defense line, and the subsequent shock cavalry can still launch a powerful charge, and the remaining number is still sufficient. If this continues, as long as the Kujites are willing to suffer a terrible loss, then they will have the last laugh.

But really?

"Thousand households, there has been a large group of cavalry in the east, more than 500 people!"

Just as Haitulu used the Moon Knife to chop over a Rhodok who was trying to pull him off the horse with a halberd, a rider on a horse rushed to his side and told him in Kujit’s dialect that he is absolutely right now. Unwanted news.

"We are fooled!" Haitulu instantly understood what was going on. These cunning Swadians used thousands of troops as bait to lure themselves into taking the initiative. After all, if their cavalry and infantry appeared on the battlefield together, he would not be able to formulate such a radical combat strategy. It is very likely that he would avoid even the battle, and directly lead the more mobile cavalry unit to leave, letting the opponent take the air. But now, they were deeply trapped in the infantry group, and the cavalry unit, after going around a large circle, killed them and surrounded them from behind.

"You take two hundred people to stop them, you must not let them approach!"

Haitulu immediately dispatched a hundred of his subordinates to intercept, and the other party did not ask much. He immediately picked up the spear, called the cavalry of the rear team several times, and headed east.

Only a few minutes later, they saw the cavalry of the other side and the peony banner they held high. As the scout said, at least 500 cavalrymen are in a tight formation and are advancing fast. The leading cavalry is dressed very gorgeously. Even if the gilded plate armor is hundreds of meters away, you can see the golden reflections, Swadi Ya’s characteristic giant helmet is equipped with two huge decorations that look like antlers, surrounded by a whole group of heavy cavalry armed with lances and wearing leather-lined chain armor and plate armor. There is also a heavy cavalry who also wears plate armor. The knight raised the flag for him. Behind them, there are a whole row of Swadia cavalry, Vikia cavalry, guys dressed up as mercenaries, and Kujit cavalry that is very similar to their equipment. Such a powerful force mixed with the cavalry of Calradia countries became their opponents at this time, but they did not have the advantage in terms of equipment, and it was a serious disadvantage in terms of quantity.

But this one hundred households did not have stage fright~www.readwn.com~ He held Yanyue Knife in both hands, and then yelled to the comrades behind him:

"The heavens bless us, the man of Kujit would rather die on a war horse than be a coward!"

"We are Kujit's warriors, and we will never give in!"

The soldiers shouted one after another, and then Hundred households clamped their legs and pulled the reins. "Drive!" The horse ran, leading the cavalry unit behind them, rushing towards the powerful enemy in front of them. Although the perception of the strength of the two sides is so great, none of these lancers and riders who charge in front of them has considered fleeing. Their ancestors have defeated their enemies countless times with less victory and more. Step by step, they have won pastures and water sources for the tribe, land and wealth, and rescued themselves in times of crisis, so that the Kujit clan-the proud grassland. The wolves have become as strong as they are now, and their people have their own country and leader, so they don't have to bend under another stronger khan.

They bravely launched a charge and collided with this cavalry brigade that was more than twice as large as theirs. The cavalry and the long knife collided with each other, and sparks blew up on the armor. Even the cavalry under Byron, who valued glory most, While scornful of the actions of these steppe cavalry, they couldn't help but praise their bravery.

But as many people have always said, courage is very important, but courage alone may not necessarily win the battle.
