The fat man looked serious in the rear center of the Falcon’s Central Army Formation. The cold rain hit the corners of his eyebrows, and a crystal clear drop of water hung. There were more than a hundred guards wearing black armor. Holding the saber around him, a fan-shaped branch appeared, swearing to the death to protect the safety of the coach,
At a high place, you can see the battle under the mound at a glance. The Swadian's 100,000 troops, like a huge reversing torrent, are already fighting with their own defensive forces.
This is an extremely wide battlefield. From one hill to another, the distance between each other is less than one kilometer, but between these two hills, there are nearly 150,000 soldiers fighting each other. Everywhere they look, they are all fierce fighting crowds. On the one hand, the Swadian army Regardless of the reckless counterattack, on the other hand, the light cavalry who avoided the edge of Hukoqili has turned back and collided with the knights killed by the Swadian formation.
The situation of the battle once again faced a difficult choice, like a lost crossroads. The vague situation made the coaches of both sides go all out. It was the 100,000 Swadian soldiers who first smashed the Falcon’s position and completely reversed it. The disadvantage of the entire battle was that the light cavalry of the Falcon Dynasty defeated the blocking Swadian knights, and defeated the Swadian formation that had already exhausted their troops from the rear. The two sides were like the double-headed snakes in the cross. Who can swallow the other party first.
The fierce fighting has even spread to the third line of defense, which is less than 100 meters away from the fat man. The soldiers who "killed" the two sides were repeatedly colliding there. The Swadians were crazy, constantly attacking the top of the hill.
In order to ensure the safety of the fat man, the guards, including a thousand cavalry guards, are closing from both sides. The siege has already stunned the head in the fierce battle, and even the direction is somewhat difficult to distinguish Riel. Code defeated.
Following Fatty’s order, the 4,000 heavy horizontal spear troops in the central part, holding lances with horizontal fronts in their hands, rushed to the densest place. These horizontal spear soldiers joined in, up to five meters long. The horizontal spear has a more powerful length. It can pierce down sharply with a five-meter-long horizontal spear with a one-foot-long chisel in the hand without affecting the fierce fighting troops in front of it.
Because the queue of Swadian soldiers is too crowded, it is almost completely unnecessary to consider the issue of misses. Countless Swadian soldiers have not even reacted yet, and they feel that their eyes are bright, and then they see their colleagues’ heads seem to be It exploded like a smashed watermelon, and the bright red blood mixed with yellow and white brains directly splashed on the face of the scared soldier
"It's the crossspearer of the Vikya people!"
Some veterans from the Northern Army recognized these sudden killing weapons, and shouted in panic that they had encountered the Vikya crossspear troops in the Westfall. Those Vikia soldiers with horizontal spears were specially selected from ordinary soldiers.
The five-meter horizontal spear, which is huge in height and weighs a kilogram, is in their sturdy hands, waving easily like playing with a toy, and being stabbed across or hung by such a special spear. It is a terrible blood hole, no matter how strong the soldier will be, the cry of dying will be painful,
In the face of such a fierce thunderous impact, the blockade of flesh and blood is a joke. Even a human wall composed of heavy infantry in heavy armor will be cut through by this terrifying weapon.
The flying horizontal spears fell on the heads of Swadian people like raindrops, and the screams of screams came one after another. There was a burst of chaos on the head of the Erdian, as the horizontal spear rose and fell, the armor was covered with blood and flesh. The head of the Swadian soldier was as easy as splitting an apple.
Twilight began to fall. The battle lasted from morning to evening. Tens of thousands of Swadian soldiers lay corpses in this area, leaving behind broken guns, arrows and arrows on a large stretch of flattened grassland and bushes. The eyes are full of muddy corpses, a piece of Swadian soldiers’ corpses is covered with black high slopes,
What can be clearly seen now is the traces left by the light cavalry of the Falcon Dynasty galloping on the ground full of blood and corpses. The 4,000 Swadian king guard knights who are responsible for blocking are only left. Less than a thousand people,
These bruised knights, with their last will and loyalty, resisted the flash attack of the Falcon light cavalry. The muddy ground became the biggest obstacle to these heavily armored knights and horses.
The highly mobile Falcon Cavalry completely ignores the impact of heavy rain on the ground, but the heavy armored knights can’t. The total weight of their horses is close to a ton, and the muddy ground makes them unable to run. The armor makes it difficult for them to get up once they fall off the horse. Mixed rain and sand will penetrate into their helmets. Many knights are suffocated to death in this situation.
In the face of extremely fast Falcon Hussars, they are like bears stung by bees. They are completely useless, but the assault crossbows in the hands of Falcon Hussars can penetrate their heavy armor at close range. ,
For a period of time, these royal knights with red tassels on their heads and various emblems inlaid on their shields had no choice but to protect their bodies with shields.
With the last loyalty and perseverance, the blood donation and the rate of dragging the Falcon light cavalry to the Chinese army, they represent the last afterglow of this era of heavy cavalry dominance, after which, whether it is Nord People, or Doroks, are not maintaining the formation of heavy cavalry. Instead, they are replaced by light cavalry tactics that are more mobile and more suitable for interspersed and divided.
"His Royal Highness, the battle is in a stalemate, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous!"
As for Swadian, I feel that I have already touched the second Prince Swadian in the skirt of the God of Victory. At this moment, he looks haggard. He has been fighting for half a day. There have been several big ups and downs. Don’t want him, His Royal Highness, who is a delicate and expensive prince. The other Swadian generals have also reached the edge of willpower. The defensive power of the Falcon army is too strong.
In the face of one hundred thousand crazy Swadian soldiers, the main force of the Falcon Army with only half the strength of the army, when it resisted 3 at full, it became more and more courageous, and there was still a faint counterattack, enough to show the elite of the opposing army. , As the rain gradually stopped, the sky appeared a blush, dusk shrouded from the top of the mountain, a red halo on the west horizon,
"Grenadier ready!"
As the cavalry sent from the Falcon Array to gallop past in front of the red queue, the Grenadier Legion of the Falcon Dynasty showed its hideous minions for the first time. The previous torrential rain made them have to fight with their colleagues in front. But they can only stay quietly in the legion array. At this moment, they heard the order to attack, and they got up from the rest place excitedly
"The first squadron and the second squadron are in full formation! The third squadron is responsible for the two wings!" Varysian, who was in charge of the command, riding on the horse, shouted with all his strength to the grenadiers on the battlefield. "I don't care what method you use, within ten minutes, within ten minutes, you will throw all the explosive bombs you have deployed to me, and don't blow yourself up! Those who live have a chance to get the next reward. Jin, you are a grenadier and not a heavy infantry. Don’t be like a heavy infantry before, and you will never die when you rush up!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" In the direction of the main force of the Falcon Dynasty, there was a burst of rumbling drum beats. The sound was continuous and continuous, and the earth was trembling slightly.
"His Royal Highness, you!" A Swadian general pointed at the still anxious front with a weird expression. Although the Swadian army had already advanced, they were still entangled with the Falcon Dynasty army on the mountainside. In the rear queue of the Falcon Army, a row of eye-catching red suddenly appeared. There were not many people, only about 3,000 people, but its special color and gorgeous clothes did not bring Swadian generals. Premonition
Everyone knows that the Vicia Falcon is not a very particular person, otherwise the color of the soldier’s armor would not be designed to represent darkness, blood, and mysterious black.
But the bright red that appears in these black now is too dazzling,
What's more, these soldiers lined up in a line, beating the drums, are dressed really strangely. All of them are tall and strong men, but they don’t wear armor for combat, but a very The dazzling, double-row golden silk buttoned uniforms are wrapped around the waists of these brawny men with bulging things,
Just when the Swadian people were still puzzled, booming, booming...the continuous explosions exploded in the front row of the dense Swadian army~IndoMTL.com~ The waves enveloped almost the entire defense line, turning it into a world filled with gunpowder. In the smoke of gunpowder, the flames caused by the explosion are so vivid in the semi-dark red twilight, every explosion is not very big, but if thousands of explosions sound at the same time, and they continue to sound for more than ten minutes,
In the smoke of gunpowder, the entire Swadian army seemed to have suffered a huge catastrophe, seeming to step on a huge crater at the same time,
Countless objects flew up, and some flew high into the sky, and then fell in an irregular curve as everyone watched, including the remains of the corpses of soldiers who were blown up, and some were blown up. Distorted shield,
Under the superior arm strength of the grenadier, half of the hillside that was almost occupied by the Swadians was completely shrouded
There are also broken spears, and countless dust and sand. Especially the Swadian Infantry’s iconic Knife-shaped shield, like a leaf flying in an explosion of air,
Lightly, making various rotations in mid-air, but in the end they all smashed into the damp and soft soil, without exception.
