Chapter 205 When the war is going on

Bursts of dull thunderous sounds echoed in the sky, and then faded away. Under the sunshine of the warm spring day, a huge legion was slowly marching.

Marching on the soft ground, the soldiers of the Second Legion didn't realize that a decisive battle was going on on the unnamed plain less than three hours away from them. The soldiers of the Danish Legion walked slowly and leisurely in Kuni On the small roads in the countryside of the Sub-Republic, they were carefree, as if they were in a peaceful country, because the enemy and the king's orders never appeared, and they were not close to the nearest Kurnia settlement.

"Master Earl, this sound seems to be the sound of artillery salvo?"

The Danish lieutenant Derek on horseback listened intently to the dull, fading voice again, and then seemed to realize something, his face changed slightly, and he reminded the earl beside him: " Lord Earl, this sound seems to be the sound of the artillery salvo of the First Legion."

Charles didn't take it seriously, waved his hand, and said, "How is it possible? The main force of the Kunians has been defeated by us, so no army would dare to fight the First Army."

"However, Lord Earl, I think it is very necessary for us to confirm." Lieutenant Derek still insisted, and several officers following them also frowned, and one of them even jumped off the horse and put his ear to the On the soft ground, try to hear whether the sound is caused by the artillery.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, the officer stood up with an ugly face, nodded, and said: "I can feel that the ground is shaking. A war must have broken out under His Majesty Caesar."

Hearing this, Charles also began to feel uneasy. He clenched the reins of the war horse in his hand, looked at the sky that was constantly echoing with muffled thunder, and thought about it for a while. He only thought about it for a second—but this second decided the decision to join the battle. The fate of all characters also determines the fate of the three countries of the Republic of Cunya, the Principality of Lasik and the Principality of West Konnakhta.

Luckily for Richard, he has a good general.

"Change the marching route and approach His Majesty Caesar!"

Finally Charles made up his mind, he said to the surrounding officers and soldiers, so that everyone was relieved, and then agreed in unison.Then, this huge army changed its marching route, and also changed its previous laziness, and ran to the decisive battlefield together.

As they moved, the sound of the rumbling guns became more and more clear, and every shelling seemed to make the ground tremble slightly. This undoubtedly strengthened their determination, and it also made me feel lucky, and even Earl Charles felt lucky—if If he rejected the officers' proposal, the consequences might be disastrous!

……

On the other side, the tragic infantry battlefield continued. Faced with a huge number of coalition infantry, even the elite heavy infantry such as the foot soldiers of the Imperial Knights were a bit overwhelmed. The battle line began to move back. The soldiers in uniform returned to the front line in units of companies, and finally stopped the retreat of the front line, and even had a faint tendency to push back.

The archers behind them also stopped shooting, and the continuous high-intensity drawing of the bow made the arms of these soldiers extremely sore.In the process of shooting against the coalition archers, these unarmored and shieldless soldiers suffered heavy losses, blood was sprinkled all over the ground, and the groans of the wounded who had not died also stimulated the morale of the surrounding soldiers.

Under the bloody fight, both sides showed blood. Not only did Richard send almost all the reserve troops to the front line, but the high-level coalition forces also pressed all the soldiers. They took advantage of the number of people and stretched the front line. The formation surrounded Richard's front, and both the central army and the two wings were facing severe fighting pressure.

In order to encourage the soldiers under his command to fight the enemy bravely, the generals of both sides also came to the front line in person, and the military flags representing the commanders or nobles fluttered in the wind on the front line, and blood splattered on the surface of the flags from time to time, making this flag even more beautiful. majesty.Richard originally wanted to fight with the soldiers, but was stopped by the lieutenants, so he could only stand under the royal banner of the Chinese army and watch the changes on the battlefield.

Seeing that the battle situation was gradually developing in a direction that was not conducive to his own side, Richard was also a little uneasy. He turned his head and told the orderly behind him: "Fire the signal flare and let our cavalry charge!"

"Yes!" the messenger quickly agreed. He took out a wooden pipe from his arms, lit the match rope at the bottom of the wooden pipe, and raised it high. After a few seconds, a dazzling spark burst out from the top of the wooden pipe, and there was a crisp explosion. Then it sounded, and the next second, fireworks exploded in the air, which could be seen clearly even from a distance.

The fireworks did not attract the attention of many soldiers who were fighting, but they were clearly seen by the commanders in the center of the coalition army. Although they didn't know what it was, their subconscious mind told them that something was not good!
Sure enough, just a few seconds after the fireworks exploded in the air, countless cavalry rushed out of the woods near the plain. They shouted battle roars and held a three-meter-long heavy lance. They were killed almost as soon as they appeared. The coalition found.

Then, the coalition commanders fortified.

They looked at the seemingly endless heavy cavalry pouring out of the woods, and they were stunned. It took several seconds to react, and they shouted to order the remaining cavalry to stop Richard's heavy cavalry. However, these charge failed instead. How could the heavy-lost coalition cavalry be able to stop the more than [-] imposing heavy armored knights led by Sir Frank? Except for nearly half of the knights who were armored knights on horses and without armor, they were all armored empires. The knights and Teutonic knights are much higher than the coalition cavalry in terms of equipment alone.

Under the watchful eyes of the commanders of both sides, the cavalry of the two armies rammed head-on into the enemy's cavalry with an overwhelming momentum. At the moment when the cavalry collided, the men fell over and the horses stumbled. The momentum caused by this made the world eclipse the whole world!
As the cavalry staggered, countless knights were shot by cavalry guns, tragically fell from their horses to the ground, and then trampled under the hooves of the following horses.The spears and lances they equipped were also broken during the charge, and sawdust and blood flew across. After the long pole weapon broke, the knights of the two armies who were good at horse fighting quickly pulled out the secondary weapons at their waists—or Knight's sword, or mace and mace, then unleash the most violent blows on the enemy.

The cavalry's killing mainly depends on the high-speed impact of the horses. When the cavalry of the two armies are in close combat, they can only rely on their secondary weapons to attack the enemy. Almost every second, a knight falls from the horse. When he struggled to get up, he was chopped off by the enemy, and the stumps and arms flew across the air, and the blood stained everyone's body and the horses under their crotches.

For a time, both sides fell into a stalemate, whether on the cavalry or infantry battlefield.
