Rise In Calradia

Chapter 378: : Battle of the Dunes (Part 2)

This battle has been unfair since it started.

Facing the coalition forces led by Byron, the Salander army, which left nearly half of its troops to defend Sharez out of the need to defend the city, had no advantage in number. In terms of quality, Byron was almost unscathed in the catastrophe. The powerful knights and cavalry units of the battle group and Suno gave them an advantage. In terms of terrain and tactics, due to the negligence caused by this ceremony, they were forced to face the enemy that was ready at the worst time. It also allowed many enemies to occupy favorable terrain. Finally, and the most troublesome point, the sneak attack they were subjected to was not a trivial matter!

In front of the station, Byron, Lord Craggs and several representatives of the Swadia Lords have already met with Assassin’s messenger. The two sides discussed this for a long time and made sufficient preparations. A total of 800 archers from different sources (among them Half of the troops from Assassin and the mercenaries they contacted) before the engagement of the troops on both sides severely damaged their morale, and caused hundreds of casualties, against a total number of less than 15,000 In terms of combat, this number is not small anymore. But Ali's subsequent cavalry attack in order to regain the advantage was repelled, and the battle fell into a disadvantage in all aspects. If Ali hadn't been calm enough to arouse people's fighting spirit again by faith, this battle would have been lost.

But even so, the disadvantages of both sides have not been restored.

The warriors who dedicated their lives for their faith have high morale, and even persisted in the face of the terrifying Swadia cavalry charge after the slaves were defeated. They even dragged a dozen heavy cavalry off their horses and beat them to death with hammers, waving their hands together. The Mamluks of the Hammer defeated two brave knights from Swadia and nearly thirty heavy cavalry, and achieved excellent results. However, the Swadia cavalry did not find death on their own. The Salander troops paid a terrible price for this. No less than forty Mamluk cavalry and hundreds of infantry were killed in this charge. Their fronts were also killed. The heavy cavalry forces were rushed into chaos under the charge. The subsequent charges of the Swadia cavalry continued to round the flanks, and Salander’s forces had to follow the diffusion barrier. As a result, the front line grew longer and longer, and there were a huge number of Swadia. The Dia coalition troops also took advantage of the situation to follow up, and when the heavy cavalry finished their charge and began to retreat, they stood up and continued to suppress the enemy's formation.

In the process, the Mamluk soldiers led by Ali rushed so smoothly when the enemy retreated to counterattack that they found the Earl of Craggs holding a flag and wearing gorgeous plate armor. Of course, Ali didn't want to let go of this great opportunity, and immediately led his cavalry to rush to the past, and then was surrounded by the heavy cavalry of Count Craggs backhand.

A part of Swadia's cavalry recoiled back to stop the other Salander cavalry and light infantry units who had come to rescue, ensuring that the large unit could completely trap their enemy's commander.

Ali looked around in the encircling circle, and found that there were Swadia cavalry surrounding them everywhere, and the Mamluk next to him had less than twenty horses left at this time, and the rest were either left behind or divided and surrounded. . And Earl Craggs himself, at this time, was less than fifty steps away from him, a certain distance from the cavalry nearby, and there were only a few knights around him to protect him.

"For the glory of the true God!"

Ali did not say much, and his Mamluks did not have a single question. They lined up to kill the Earl Craggs, and the Earl was not afraid. He raised the lance with the flag, and the other one. He took a javelin, and then led his knights to greet him. Following the charge of the earl himself, the surrounding Swadia cavalry also clamped their legs and rushed towards the enemy. This was not a duel. They could not put their lord in such danger.

This was a head-to-head confrontation between two outstanding cavalry commanders, and it was a personal rivalry between two powerful horsemen. The two sides collided together under the watchful eyes of the army.

The lances of the two sides slashed across the shield of the other side. The huge inertia and power shook the arms of both sides, but they did not stop for a moment. The speed of the horse slowed down. Count Craggs picked up the mace, and Ali did. Take out the two-handed warhammer. At this time, Swadia's knights also faced the Mamluks of Salander, and all beings were equal when they rode lances. Two Mamluks were shot down under the horse with lances, but the other Mamluks still avoided. Ride a gun, get close and fight the knights. The hammers of the two sides kept colliding in mid-air. Once one of them slackened, the hammer would hit the other side, causing terrible damage to the enemy's internal organs and bones through the thick armor.

When Earl Craggs saw this, he turned his horse's head and prepared to retreat, put down his mace, and grabbed the lance again. He looked like he was about to charge again. This is very common for the knights of Swadia. Circumstances, and for Ali, this is a big flaw and a perfect opportunity. So he squeezed through the crowd and shot down a heavy cavalry who was blocking the road, bypassed another difficult knight, raised his warhammer and went straight to the earl to kill.

At this moment, Earl Craggs stopped his horse suddenly, and then turned around and raised his lance, letting the opponent's body point towards his gun, as if he was setting up a spear on a horse.

Ali obviously hadn't seen this trick before. He didn't have time to slow down and ran into him directly. Even if he dodges as much as possible to avoid the vital point, the lance still pierced his left arm, and penetrated his arm's chain mail into the flesh. One piece, hit the bone. Even if the wound does not look big, this huge inertia is enough to cause Ali's left arm to crack directly. The general endured the severe pain and drew his arm out, and the hammer with both hands dropped because one hand couldn't get the strength. But Earl Craggs did not let go of this opportunity, he immediately threw down his lance and drew out the mace, rushed directly to Ali's head and swiped it. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Originally, Ali could raise the hammer with both hands to block the attack, and then use the opponent's attack gap to use his hand to give the opponent's face, but at this time, he folded an arm and wanted to lift this heavy hammer. Yes, he had just raised it halfway, and the mace had already hit his temple.

Almost at that instant, Ali lost consciousness, and his body naturally tilted. But Earl Craggs didn’t let him go. To be on the safe side, the Earl took the javelin and threw it on Ali, who had fallen from the horse. The sharp tip of the javelin was directly inserted into the opponent’s heart to ensure that he would never again. Can't stand up.

"We killed the Salander general!"

Ali's body was desperately taken back by the Mamluks, but his helmet was in the hands of the enemy. They hung their helmets on the tips of their guns and rode their horses across the entire battlefield. Wherever they went, Swadia was high-spirited and Salander's soldiers were shocked.

At this moment, another unit holding the Peony banner broke out from the rear, and the two-sided attack directly smashed an infantry unit in Salander. The rest of the soldiers were completely panicked. One by one, they threw down their weapons and turned to escape. The disadvantage quickly turned into defeat. More and more soldiers were fleeing, and Salander's army was completely disintegrated.
