Rise In Calradia

"They are all mobs, and we will definitely win!"

Earl Leyland looked at the enemies in front of him and said to his brother and his soldiers.

Indeed, everyone can clearly see that although the enemies in front of them are well-armed regular soldiers, even a few sergeants and a team of Swadia cavalry, most of them are poorly equipped serf troops. Some people wear the extra cotton armor in the castle, holding spears and iron forks, and the other part is what they are used for, their own thick clothes, leather hats, and weapons in their hands are also various, including flail, pitchfork, mallet, Logging axes, meat cleavers, hunting bows, and light crossbows, these peasant households' most handy gadgets have become the weapons they now use in wars. No matter how you look at them, you can't see any seriousness at all.

Such a small regular army and a huge militia force are the mainstream of the battle in Calradia. This kind of battle is often in which peasants fight each other, regular troops and knights fight each other. After the battle of the regular army is over, as long as the losses are not too heavy, the peasant soldiers with loose organization and low morale can be quickly defeated. A large number of militias are not the main force in the battle, but only to contain the opponent's line and attract arrows that consume the opponent.

Even in Roddock, where the quality of the militia is higher, Earl Leyland still holds this kind of thinking.

"But there are twice as many of them as we are. It is not a wise move to underestimate this battle." Count Tazias looked at the size of the opponent and said with a frown.

"Of course, I know this very well, brother." Earl Leyland told his brother in a low voice: "But we still have to give our soldiers confidence that they have already lost a battle before."

Having said that, he rode his horse to face the army behind him and shouted:

"Victory belongs to us!"

"For Rodok!"

The soldiers shouted. For most of the soldiers in this army, they all believed that the poor serf soldiers of the other side were used to make up their numbers. They did not pose much threat to them, and they did not look like they had received any training. As long as they lined up, these poorly equipped poor people would flee in all directions.

"Victory belongs to us!"

"For Byron! For Byron!"

On the other side, Fatis also shouted the slogan of victory. The militiamen and soldiers shouted Byron's name, and their voices were louder than those of the regular army on the opposite side. Fatis drew his sword and rode forward slowly on his horse. The militia and city defense troops followed in his footsteps.

Earl Leyland did not wait. Although it would be a good idea to wait for the militias to rush up in a good formation, he has found out that the commander of this battle is Fatis, and he also knows his performance and tendencies in the battle. . Obviously, he will not implement too many fierce combat strategies. In the end, the two sides may become confronted with each other and then constantly shoot at each other with crossbows. There were many people on the opposite side, and a large number of bows and crossbows in the Armory of Fort Amira were seized. Once they were suppressed, their troops would have many unnecessary casualties. So he decided to take the initiative to attack the opponent's line with his own strength advantage, and then use a solid and powerful formation to defeat the random attacks of the serfs and drive them all away. In this way, the remaining city defense forces will not be their opponents. And this battle can also remind those humble farmers, telling them not to worry about things that don't belong to them.

As a result, the troops of both sides quickly got close, and the crossbowmen of both sides raised their crossbows and pulled the trigger. Hundreds of crossbow arrows moved toward each other, and the shields on both sides were also raised. The two sides kept getting closer, and if they didn’t advance a few steps, one person would fall down with an arrow, and then he was dragged back to the back for treatment. Most of the time, the people who fell were Fatis’ militiamen, Lei The soldiers of Earl Rand mostly wore chain armor and helmets, and their shields were also larger, so they suffered much less damage from arrows. But even so, it was inevitable that a few people were hit by crossbow arrows shot from the gap between the shields, pierced into the parts that were not protected by the chain armor, or were directly shot through the chain armor by the heavy crossbow. After all, the number of enemies they faced was more than double theirs, and the number of bows and crossbows was even more numerous. Although most of the dense arrows were not powerful enough, it was difficult to block them all.

Subsequently, the infantry from both sides also approached. Seeing the leading militiamen in the front row of the opponent with simple equipment and ragged weapons, Earl Leyland dismissed him, but he still sent a team of senior lancers under him to fight. No matter how you look at it, the first impact will be It is they who win.

But just when the forces of both sides were about to meet, the front infantry on Fatis suddenly started to move to both sides. Earl Leyland saw this strange behavior and almost thought that the other party was afraid that their heavy infantry would flee. , But then he found that the opponent’s movement was very orderly. It seemed that he had been trained many times. Although the whole army was not uniform, but there was no chaos. The front row of the army began to shift to the sides, and then revealed that it was in the middle of the army. The Swadia infantry and Rodok skilled spearmen, armed with spears, screamed and rushed to their front, before the Earl of Leyland ordered them, they fought against the troops of the senior spearmen.

At this time, a large number of militia forces have spread to the two wings of the Earl of Leyland, and relying on the number of advantages to form a semi-encircled situation, and the front is constantly shrinking. Soon, the soldiers of the earl saw the peasants with fierce or firm eyes walking towards them step by step, holding a mess of weapons and shields, almost ignoring the arrows they shot.

"For Lord Byron! For the land of the free men! Attack! Attack! Drive the despicable lord and these abominations out of Amila!" Fatis' roar echoed throughout the army, not because of his voice. How loud, but the sergeants were delivering his words one by one, the drums and horns sounded together, the Peony flag and the Randall family's horse flag fluttered high, and the militiamen cherished their desire for their land. Roaring with persistence ~www.readwn.com~, they charged towards the army of their former lord.

"For the land, we fought with them!"

"For Byron! For Byron!"

The ebony crowd quickly filled the entire front. The sudden peasant roar and the completely unexpected impact made the troops of Count Leyland and Count Tazias caught off guard, and the spearmen stabbed them. Spears and robbing pierced through the enemy’s chest, but the people behind them would immediately pounce on them, flail around the shield and hit their heads, the axe and mallet kept beating the shield, and the sound was as dense as falling rain. Their shields and helmets kept ringing, and even if they stood firm and launched a counterattack, no matter how many times they stabbed, they couldn't stop the surge of the crowd.

It didn’t take much time that their spears and guns got stuck in the enemy’s body, and their blood-stained swords and hammers became more and more difficult to swing. The people in the front row were pushed to the ground, and the farmers immediately fell. They kept beating and kicking on their bodies, beating these people to death on the ground.

Earl Leyland has lived for 50 years, and this is the first time he has seen such a tough peasant. Under their impact, the troops began to lose their footing, and the peony banner also circled behind them in the smoke and dust, shining brightly. The lance announced the fate of their rear army, and the victory or defeat of this battle was already clearly visible before long.
