Black Iron Crown - Chapter 675
He rode to the front of the Earl of Varas: “Earl of Varas! Your Majesty orders you to immediately lead the Scarlet Gryphon Knights and all the knights to charge the enemy cavalry and defeat them!”
Earl Varas took the flag from the herald, smiled, and shouted to the knights around him: “Now it’s our turn to perform! No one can beat the Scarlet Gryphon Knights!”
“Invincible! Long live the emperor!” The knights beside him took their lances from their followers, and smiled at the comrades beside him, then knocked on their chests and was painted. Red plate armor.
The knights behind were successively ready for battle. Count Varas took the golden griffon flag smeared with red background from the hand of a rebel, pointed forward and shouted: “The Scarlet Lion Eagle Knights, charge!!”
“Long live!”
The knights shouted loudly, followed closely behind Earl Varas, and rode their horses to speed up.
“Rumble…” A dull sound of horseshoes sounded from the other side of the battlefield, like a thunder in the winter, which shook people’s chests.
King Sartley had already reacted to the cavalry of the Northern Army. The expression on his face couldn’t help being very ugly. He felt that today might not be a good day for a decisive battle, because he found that everything seemed to be against him.
My right-wing army became chaotic under the harassment of the enemy, and fell into a disadvantage in the confrontation with the enemy. Although my left-wing army has not shown much decline, it has more enemy troops. .
I hope that the Kalda cavalry will defeat the sneak attacking enemy as quickly as possible, but the enemy cavalry reacted equally quickly.
King Sartley felt that everything went wrong, and his irritability became more serious.
However, at this point in the war, he has no more cards to take out. He can only bet that the Kaldar’s cavalry is stronger and can defeat the enemy’s knights.
Or an army that has become powerful under its own reforms can defeat the enemy in frontal combat and achieve victory.
Of course, he prefers to break through in his infantry phalanx. Even if the Kalda cavalry wins, it may not cause too much casualties to the enemy. On the contrary, many tactics of the cavalry are based on the infantry array.
For example, now, there is only one reason for the cavalry on both sides to be dispatched. King Sartli hopes that the Kalda cavalry can launch a surprise attack on the enemy infantry, while the purpose of the Lena cavalry is to protect his own infantry.
Of course, the infantry under King Sartley did not find the breakthrough point first as he expected.
At this time, the distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer. After four rounds of shooting from the crossbowmen, the army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern entered within 80 meters of the Northern Army.
On the contrary, they also paid more than 700 casualties for this.
When they entered the range of 80 meters, more arrows were shot instantly at this moment.
Four hundred crossbow arrows and eight hundred arrows fell on the enemy’s head like migratory locusts. The distance of 80 meters, whether it is a pulley crossbow or a recurve bow, has already entered the extremely powerful range.
But the shooting now seems to be scattered, and only the archers can strike the enemy’s front row.
The crossbowmen can’t shoot straight in order to prevent accidental injury to the friendly forces in the front, so the projectile can only hit some enemies in the back.
More than 800 recurve bows shot two rounds of arrows in a very short time, and more than 300 people fell to the ground in an instant.
The enemy army advanced another twenty meters, and their archers finally counterattacked Leiner’s army at this moment. With the opponent’s firepower suppressed for so long, their hearts were already furious.
Now that I finally have a chance, I will not let it go.
They put the arrow on the bowstring, and sent the arrow out in a rage.
But unfortunately, their offensive effect does not seem to be great.
The size of the Chinese army in the Kingdom of Bukerdern is very large, with more than 4,000 Kalda infantry, plus more than 4,000 infantry belonging to King Satri’s headquarters, and 800 heavy armored warriors, totaling more than 9,000. .
And Rainer’s Chinese army also has his own 4,800 soldiers from the North, and 1,200 long-range strike forces. In addition, there are 200 Golden Lion Guards, which are fewer in number than the enemy. Some.
However, the difference in the number of long-range strike forces between the two sides is not big. In such a confrontation, Rainer’s archers and crossbowmen caused huge casualties to the enemy.
There are more than a thousand people, which is one-ninth of the opponent’s number.
A counterattack by the archers of the Army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern brought only a few dozen casualties to the soldiers under Reiner.
Just here, there are only a dozen people who are unlucky to a certain extent. The other arrows falling into Lena’s army either made a clanging sound and were bounced away, or they shot into the gap of the tie armor or the chain armor. It was stuck in the middle and did not cause any harm to the soldiers inside.
This kind of unequal war has cast a haze on the army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern, and at the same time made the morale of Reiner’s army high.
At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, the momentum created here is no less than that of the front battlefield.
The Scarlet Gryphon Knights have a total of 450 people, and the other elder knights also have more than 400 people, and they add up to 900 hybrids and heavy armor. Even the tall war horses under the hips are dressed in heavy horse armor. Cavalry, a heavy tank that can hardly be shaken in this era.
In the forefront, the blood-red feathers on the heads of the Scarlet Griffin Riders fluttered wildly in the strong wind. The pennant with the Griffon emblem on the rifle was also messy with the wind. The griffins above looked very majestic. .
The horse is getting faster and faster, and Earl Varas leaned down slightly, leaning forward ~www.mtlnovel.com~, which was mostly covered by the horse’s head.
The flag in his hand is still raised high, grinning in the wind.
The three Scarlet Gryphon riders in front of him have put down their lances, clamped under their armpits and aimed straight ahead, and the shield in their left hand is against his chest, covering half of his head and half of it. Front chest.
The duel between the cavalry was swift and fast, and the Kalda cavalry had a very fast impact. The one hundred mixed and heavily armored cavalry in the front looked aggressive and bloated.
The armor on these people may have reached the weight of the Scarlet Gryphon Rider, but they don’t have the bonus of Gryphon’s blood. These are a group of cavalry born to charge and break through the formation.
The Scarlet Gryphon Knights are always proud and defiant.
At the same time, they also have this strength. In the gap of the helmet when they were fully surrounded, there was a cry of urn sound.
“Long live the Knights! Long live the Emperor!”
In such a shout, the two sides are already close at hand, and the lance in the hands of Kalda’s elite “cleaner” has reached the front of the three Scarlet Gryphon riders.
And the longer lances of the Scarlet Griffin Riders also almost reached the opponent’s throat.
“Boom!” A deafening sound rang into the sky.
