Black Iron Crown - Chapter 672
On January 18th of the 33rd year of the empire, it was still winter in the north, with a scene of ice and snow, but near the imperial capital, there was no such bad weather.
There is only a thin layer of snow on the ground here. In front of the owner’s cold-resistant physique but in front of the Northern Army, this low temperature is nothing at all.
It was already noon, and the sun at eleven o’clock should have been extremely blazing, but since it is winter, there is always a layer of gray in the sky, and even the glorious sun’s rays have become sluggish.
A blast of cold wind blows, with a little damp chill, Lena can’t help but shudder.
He shook the black bearskin cloak on his shoulders, and looked at the enemy who covered the sky in front of him vigorously.
A long-lost, passionate feeling emerged in Lena’s heart. He hadn’t been so excited for a long time.
The front of the enemy’s army can’t see the edge, and Rainer’s own army is so huge. The six thousand people in the north have already reached the imperial capital two days ago. They were simply reorganized by Rainer. After that, he went into battle.
Liner’s combat position is very simple and rude, and his own army is placed in the center to serve as the Chinese army.
Sergeant Morland was in front, followed by a squadron of Northern Soldiers. At the forefront were the Golden Lion Guard and some soldiers holding large shields. They acted as defenders.
If an enemy armed with a short weapon crosses the steel line of defense formed by a long spear, then it will be their turn to perform.
The archers and crossbowmen are in the center of the infantry formation. Reiner’s 800 archers with recurve bows and 400 crossbowmen with pulleys have a long range, but in order to cause the most damage to the enemy. , Rainer did not arrange them completely behind the infantry.
In that case, hundreds of meters would be wasted, and the range of the recurve bow’s tremendous lethality was only about 120 meters. He didn’t intend to let his long-range strike power be abolished by his own martial arts.
With the exception of the Chinese army being Renner’s own direct force, his two flanks are all his vassals. After the vassals under the supervision of Renner have changed, their combat effectiveness has been restored to the former reputation. As the first strong army.
But even so, he is still very worried about the connection between the flanks and the Chinese army. The connection part in such a phalanx confrontation is very important. Once it is broken, he will completely fall into passiveness.
Rainer’s Scarlet Gryphon Knights did not participate in the battle at all in the previous siege battle, so there is no one missing in the organization. They are standing with Renner’s direct beneficiary knights, cruising on the right side of the battlefield.
On the left side of the battlefield, there are five grassland vassals of Rainer. Together, they have more than two thousand light cavalry from the grassland. These light cavalry wear a set of simple iron armor for protection, and they have good Combat ability.
“Woo… woo…”
A low horn sounded through the entire battlefield, rushing into the sky, and the heralds beside Leiner held the flag in their hands tightly, waiting for Leiner to give orders at any time.
Although the horn on Renner’s side sounded, he did not give the next order. His army was wearing heavy armor and was as solid as a rock. If he took the initiative to attack the enemy, he would lose some physical strength. Intend to do so.
Anyway, he is not afraid that the people of Buckden Kingdom will not attack. The big deal is that the two sides will continue to consume it like this. The food on Rainer’s side is enough to feed a huge army like his for five or six years.
As expected by Rainer, King Sartley saw Rainer’s army sounded the horn but did not advance, so he had no choice but to take the lead in the offensive.
The two flanks of the Kingdom of Bukerdern were advancing slowly, the Chinese army was about a hundred meters behind, and the two flanks were placed in front of Rainer like a pair of fists.
Under such a large-scale battle, there is no longer a flat command. King Sartley straightforwardly ordered the army to advance.
And Rainer was carefully observing the enemy’s situation in his main formation, guessing the battle situation and making the next step.
He watched the enemy soldiers advance slowly, without any confusion.
You have to know that even if Rainer’s own army wants to advance without any chaos in the formation, it takes a year or two to train. The most important thing is that he has never seen any army with such discipline.
Liner’s complexion couldn’t help but become a little dignified.
He said to a herald next to him: “Send my order to let Tillihan lead the light cavalry to harass the enemy’s right wing, but don’t engage in frontal attack operations, just disrupt the enemy’s formation!”
After listening to Rainer’s order, the messenger immediately stepped on his horse, took a signal flag from Rainer’s hand, and swiftly flew to the left.
Two minutes later, Tillihan received the order conveyed by the herald. After he confirmed that the order was indeed from His Majesty, he shouted.
“Everyone prepares! Baron Samuzha! Baron Kamal! Listen to my orders! Harass the enemy’s right wing! Don’t go hand-to-hand with the enemy! Follow me! Follow me!”
Tillihan’s order immediately spread throughout the light cavalry queue, and the two thousand people were immediately ready, stroking the horse under the crotch, and took out their bow riding from the saddle.
Although these light cavalry are not at home with their riding and shooting skills, if they are just harassment, they still have some effect.
Tillihan took the lead and rushed out. The light cavalry behind him formed a long and narrow formation, ensuring that everyone’s arrows could hit the enemy’s body as much as possible.
This kind of formation is absolutely useless when the soldiers meet in short order, but they are now using cavalry and shooting. This is the best formation~www.mtlnovel.com~ The sound of horseshoes sounded first on the battlefield, and these soldiers looked around without knowing it. , The footsteps have appeared a little messy.
“Don’t mess! Adjust your steps! Don’t mess!”
Under the scolding of the grass-roots officers, the right-wing army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern restored order and continued to advance.
However, as the sound of horse hooves approached, the soldiers couldn’t help but panic.
On such a huge battlefield, only the commander level can fully observe the entire battle situation, even most aristocratic lords cannot fully understand their own situation.
For example, now, the soldiers on the edge of the right-wing army have seen the light cavalry rushing towards them, while the soldiers inside are still looking around because of the sound of horseshoes that do not know where it comes from.
Tillihan yelled: “Open the bow!”
He opened the riding bow in his hand, and an arrow made a sharp sound, cutting through the air and falling into the enemy’s right wing.
The senior riding archers behind him are all the same, sending out the arrows in their hands.
The long and narrow team allows everyone to shoot at the enemy, but they keep a distance from the enemy, so that the opponent cannot counterattack themselves.
