Chapter 204 Killing Allied Cavalry

"Steady! Hold on to the shield and stand firm!"

Countless coalition cavalrymen broke through the white mist, trampled on the ground, and made deafening noises. This scene brought a shock to the soldiers that surpassed any scene they had ever seen before. Some soldiers were stunned on the spot, but they quickly reacted to the officer's roar Come here, hold your shield tight, close your eyes, and wait for the worst charge!
"Hold on!"

"Don't be afraid!"

Amidst the loud roars of many officers, countless coalition cavalry ran into the hedgehog formation formed by heavily armored sergeants in a stormy manner!
For a moment, the shield was destroyed and the armor was cracked, and the people were turned on their backs!

The iron spears mounted on the shields of the heavily armored sergeants broke at the moment they collided with the horses. Many veterans squatting in the first row were knocked down by the horses, and then they were trampled down by the horses' hooves, becoming a group of soldiers. The disgusting meat mud mixed with blood and iron, but the charging coalition cavalry was also uncomfortable. Either they were stabbed by spears and fell off their horses, or they were blown away by the recoil, and died tragically under the hooves of the horses together with the enemy.Under the terrifying impact, the hedgehog circle with 112 soldiers as a unit even moved backwards, and the innermost soldiers were squeezed and almost suffocated.

And those cavalry who did not rush into the circular formation, but rushed into the vacant passage between the circular formations were stabbed to death on the spot by the spears protruding from both sides, or hit the second line of defense head-on, turning their backs and flying high. , and then fell heavily among the crowd, and was cut several bloody holes in his body with spears by the surrounding heavy armored soldiers.

After the violent charge, the coalition cavalry could not break through the defense line formed by the hedgehog circle, and the cavalry in the back row followed up, pushing the robe in front of them, and retreating the cavalry in front to the spear held high by the heavily armored sergeant. Then he was brutally assassinated and fell off the horse, just like the gourd baby saving his grandfather, giving away heads one by one.

A large number of cavalry crowded together and collided with each other. The people in front wanted to retreat in the face of sharp spears, but the people behind wanted to charge forward. This was the result. They could not use weapons to fight back, but could only be passively beaten .

"Release the formation, charge!"

"Counterattack! Kill them!"

The officers standing in the hedgehog circle shouted one after another, and then the heavily armored sergeants dispersed one after another, raising their spears to attack the huddled coalition cavalry, and the sergeants with broken spears picked up the fallen cavalry. With the weapons of the dead allies, they went forward together with Pao Ze, and frantically slaughtered the struggling coalition cavalry.

On the front line, the dust was flying, the shouts were loud, and it was full of crazy killings. Countless spears pierced into the bodies of knights and horses, stumps and broken arms were flying in the air, and blood stained everyone's armor. The screams of soldiers, the neighing of war horses, and the roar of heavily armored soldiers resounded over the entire front, forming a unique symphony of the battlefield.

Those huddled coalition cavalry watched helplessly as heavily armored sergeants in black military uniforms flooded in to overwhelm them. The cavalry who had lost their mobility were like toothless tigers, and could only be attacked by anti-cavalry soldiers. Many cavalrymen were stabbed into their bodies by spears without even having a chance to surrender, and more knights were forcibly captured from their horses, and several spears bleed out several bloods on their bodies. hole.

Facing these heavy armored soldiers who seemed to have fallen into madness, the coalition cavalry was terrified. They would rather die on the way of charging than be stabbed to death in such a humiliating way.The cavalry in the back row took the lead in turning their horses and fled into the thick fog in embarrassment, abandoning their comrades who were still trapped in the crowd and the honor in their hearts.

Afterwards, when all the coalition cavalry fled back to the dense fog, there were only bloody corpses and cheering soldiers in heavy armor left on the battlefield. The severed limbs were dripping in the blood, exuding a strong smell of blood.

woo-

The low-pitched horn sounded again from the depths of the dense fog, and the cheering soldiers in heavy armor suddenly fell silent, while the officers in the crowd shouted for the soldiers to withdraw from the front line, and for the imperial knights on foot who had not joined the battlefield to serve as reserves Replace them.

Even soldiers from the system are not iron men who don't need to rest, and they can't stand continuous high-intensity battles.

"The battle between the infantry is coming soon. The most elite knights of the empire, fight the enemy bravely, and our army will surely win!"

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

Repeated cheers came out through the helmets of the walking imperial knights, and then they walked with heavy steps, standing in the vacant space left by the retreat of the heavily armed sergeants, looking through the sight holes on the helmets, staring closely at some Dispersed mist.

At the same time, Richard sent his loyal cavalry commander, Sir Frank, who led more than [-] heavy cavalry to leave the army formation under the cover of thick fog, and only waited for the battle between the infantry to break out to the coalition forces. Outflanking the past, this tactic was tried and tested by Richard. After having a large number of heavy cavalry, he used this method to win almost every field battle he commanded.

……

"In the name of the Lord, kill the heretics!"

The bloody infantry battle finally came. As time went by, the dense fog covering the plain was gradually receding. Richard's crossbowmen and artillery finally got a chance to show their power. With a roar, they flew into the charge of the coalition infantry formation, crushing a bloody path in the crowd, and the black rain of arrows fell from the sky, covering the shields held high by the coalition infantry, and shot down many soldiers, screams and groans There was also the sound of arrows hitting the shield one after another.

Of course, the skies on the battlefield are not just dominated by the Winsters. The coalition stragglers quickly launched a counterattack. The humiliation will be repaid by the enemy today!
"Charge! Long live the Republic! Kill the invaders!"

"Attack! For the Principality! For the Grand Duke!"

"..."

Facing the different slogans of the coalition infantry, the heavily armored imperial knights on foot were as steady as Mount Tai, and stared at the charging enemies through their helmets with icy eyes. These elite soldiers under Richard's command exuded a terrifying coldness and murderous aura!
boom!
The two armies collided, and the sound of the collision between the shields was deafening, shocking the entire front line. During the violent collision, some foot imperial knights lost their footing and were knocked over. The heavy armor made climbing up a luxury, and he could only die in humiliation under the chaotic swords of the coalition infantry.More foot knights firmly blocked the charge, and then waved their knight swords, setting off blood mist in the crowd!
bang bang bang-

While the infantry was fighting, the long-range infantry behind them were also outputting crazily. Countless arrows flew in the air and flew towards the enemy's archers at high speed. The battle between the archers was so bloody, without the protection of armor and shields, Under the baptism of arrow rain, the archers on both sides suffered heavy losses.At the same time, Richard's most beloved arquebus troops and hand cannon troops also joined the battlefield. They stood in a favorable shooting position and fired at the crowded crowd. In such a crowded situation, they didn't even need to aim. Can hit the enemy.

The sound of rumbling guns and musket shooting echoed in the sky and spread far away, startling a frightened bird...
