Chapter 77 The Battle of the Plain of Diasd

"This is the first time that the Farnics have confronted the cavalry. The devastating offensive of the heavy cavalry from Cuban Island nearly collapsed the Ingiald army. The heavy cavalry are like demons from hell. left an indelible impression in my heart. ——"History of the Kingdom of Farnik"

……

"attack!"

On the Diasd Plain, a decisive battle is imminent.

Accompanied by Richard's loud roar, more than a hundred cavalry advanced slowly, their steps were uniform, and they brought bursts of murderous intent towards the Farnic noble rebels.

Facing such terrifying monsters and murderous aura, the noble rebel army began to be in chaos. The light infantry standing at the forefront showed faint signs of retreating. Compared with the militia and standing army behind them, these "cannon fodder" recruited from the farmland Morale was even worse. If he wasn't afraid of being held accountable by the noble lord, he might have just run away.

"what is that?"

"They have four legs, are tall, and carry weapons we have never seen before..."

"Mother of the Seven Hundred Gods bless you, what kind of enemy are we facing!"

"..."

The Kuban cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the chaos in the rebel formation was increasing. Listening to the whispers of the soldiers under his command, the rebel commander Turgo Yar Yingyard looked gloomy and looked at the advancing troops. The enemy's eyes were full of fear.

"What the hell is that? Why did the enemy ride on that creature?" He was full of doubts, but he couldn't get an answer.Unlike others, he is not afraid of the creature under the enemy's crotch. The only thing he cares about is why the enemy rides on that creature.

And what happened next had an instant impact on his worldview!

"Speed ​​up and prepare to charge!"

The wide plain allowed the cavalry to accelerate in a short period of time. When the cavalry was about 200 meters away from the front of the noble rebel army, the horses were urged by the knights to speed up and gradually entered the charging state.The momentum of hundreds of cavalry running at the same time made the ground tremble, and the smoke and dust almost enveloped them.

Facing the running of the Cuban cavalry, the light infantry standing in front of the formation finally couldn't bear the pressure in their hearts and fled backward one after another. Although they didn't know what creature they were facing, even a fool could understand the momentum What happens after contact with the enemy.

"charge!"

"Riding the gun flat!"

"Glory is my life!"

Accompanied by the roar of the knights in unison, more than a hundred cavalrymen ran into the army formation of the noble rebels head-on. When he was trampled on savagely, his body and armor were huddled together, making him look ugly.The deadly lance pierced the body of the rebel soldier with great force, and then the lance itself could not bear the pressure and burst open. The knights on the horse calmly abandoned the damaged lance and pulled out the lance hanging on the horse. The knight's long sword swung wantonly in the crowd.

The loose rebel formation couldn't stop Richard's heavy cavalry charge. Many frightened soldiers didn't even have time to scream before they were knocked down by the armored heavy cavalry and trampled cruelly and bloodily.

At the scene, wailing sounded together.Soldiers with blood on their faces fled in all directions.They either dropped their weapons and shields and ran barefoot.On the entire front, although Richard's cavalry was small in number, they were still able to give the rebel infantry the fiercest offensive, cutting through the rebel formation as easily as a hot knife across butter.

Many soldiers of the noble rebels were beheaded by Richard's heavy cavalry knight's long sword before they even had time to fight back, and blood gushed out from their heads instantly.There are even more soldiers who were split from the chest by the Nordic battleaxe cavalry following the heavy cavalry wielding their battle axes, and the shattered organ fragments mixed with blood and stained everything around them red.

While Richard's heavy cavalry showed their power, the infantry of the Royal Army, led by Hubbard, the military commander of the Kingdom of Farnik, charged the fragmented noble rebel formation. After the battle with the soldiers of the Kingdom Army, they almost collapsed at the touch of a button, screaming and fleeing all the way, running wildly... They discarded their shields, javelins and spears, as well as their dignity and glory as soldiers, exposing their most vulnerable backs to the enemy within the attack range.

As the commander of the army, Inguiard watched his army collapse like a pile of sand washed by a flood with a pale face, and his heart was filled with endless despair. Now he finally understands the role of those creatures under the enemy's crotch , but has done whatever it wants.

"Master Yaer, please retreat with us!"

The chaotic defeated army rushed to the position of the coach in a panic. The guards defending Ingiard shouted tremblingly. The nobles standing behind them also turned pale, and asked Ingiard to order to retreat. .

Although they didn't have to obey Ingiard's orders, their noble qualities prevented them from abandoning Ingiard, who was respected as the commander, and fled first.

"Retreat, retreat."

Although Inguiard was unwilling, he knew that now was not the time for him to mess around, because right in his sight, a group of enemies riding unknown creatures and wielding battle axes rushed towards his position. come over!

"Retreat! Retreat!"

After the order to retreat was issued, the entire noble rebel army formation collapsed instantly, and it was no longer possible to organize an effective resistance.The soldiers of the Kingdom Army chased and killed the enemy amidst cheers. They were like wolves rushing into a flock of sheep, like wild wolves rushing into a flock of sheep.

……

The great victory in the Diazd Plains was quickly reported back to Aosta City. Faced with this unprecedented victory, the entire city was shocked—you know, even the army led by the dead Wood Keane None of the victories failed to defeat the enemy with a small number of casualties.

In the battle on the Diazd Plain, the Royal Army suffered very little loss, only two feudal knights and more than a dozen hastily recruited militiamen were killed.On the other hand, the rebels suffered heavy losses under the destructive charge of Richard's heavy cavalry and the offensive of the infantry. More than [-] soldiers were killed and more than [-] were captured.

If those rout soldiers who would get lost with the main force in the big rout were excluded, there should be more than 1000 battle-ready soldiers that Ingiard could muster.

And these more than 1000 soldiers have left an indelible fear of Richard's heavy cavalry in their hearts. In the next battle, I am afraid that when they see Richard's heavy cavalry, they will tremble all over, unconsciously recalling It started with the fear of being dominated under the iron hoof of Richard's heavy cavalry.
