Chapter 93 Battle of Luwen Plain (Cavalry Charge) (Subscribe)

"Ugh-"

With the dull horn sounding in the Ramirez army, the huge cavalry brigade advanced slowly. Although their advancing speed was not fast, the pressure on the Ravana people was still huge. The most obvious ones were those who stood at the front. The light infantrymen were pale and trembling slightly.

"Calm down, just shoot the arrow at the enemy when the enemy enters your range!"

In order to stabilize the morale of the troops, the officers walked among the light infantry and loudly encouraged the cannon fodder used to weaken the enemy. However, under the pressure of Ramirez's cavalry, the officers' encouragement was ineffective. The light infantry were still nervous and the morale of the troops was shake.

"vomit……"

Not only the light infantry at the front performed poorly, but also the infantry who formed the defense line behind them were also nervous. In the defense line of the central army, several heavily armored soldiers couldn't bear the pressure before the big battle and vomited. They bent over and vomited sour After throwing up the vomit, he quickly straightened up and wiped his mouth, and looked straight ahead as if nothing had happened. The centurions and flag officers had already seen the strangeness, and they just encouraged the surrounding soldiers in a low voice, but from the sweat on their palms, you can still see Out, they are also very nervous.

"May God bless, may God bless me and my men, and let us be victorious in the upcoming battle..."

Amidst the prayers of the Germanic people who believed in God, the Ramirez cavalry finally increased their speed after advancing for a certain distance. The dust covered the sky and the sun, and the earth trembled slightly.

"Gollum—"

Looking at the fast-moving Ramirez cavalry brigade, the commander of the crossbow-wielding militia couldn't help but swallow his saliva to moisten his throat that was dry due to fear. He then raised his sword - as if it could give him courage. .

"Ready to shoot!" he roared loudly, with deep fear in his voice, "Shoot!"

As soon as the sharp voice of the crossbow militia commander fell, 720 crossbow militiamen pulled the triggers at the same time. A graceful arc, and then fell into the running Ramirez Cavalry Brigade.

In the next second, the rain of arrows fell, people turned on their backs, horses neighed, countless knights were pierced by armor-piercing crossbows, or were hit by several crossbows at the same time, screaming and falling off their horses, and then He was trampled under the feet of the horses chasing up behind him, and turned into flesh.

No time to care about the casualties caused by the first salvo to the Ramirez cavalry, the crossbow militiamen withdrew one after another, revealing the circular spear formations hidden by their bodies. In this formation, countless spears pointed outwards. Align, just like a hedgehog in nature!
"Put down the lance and charge!"

Ignoring the never-before-seen circular formation, the Ramirez cavalry put down their raised lances as they approached Ravana's formation, shouting and crashing head-on into the hedgehog formation composed of heavily armored sergeants!
boom!
The moment the cavalry and infantry collided, the whole world seemed to tremble.The heavily armored sergeant on the outermost edge was knocked over by the powerful impact of the war horse, and was then rolled under the horse's hooves and turned into an unknown object made of flesh and steel.The entire hedgehog formation was also knocked out of place under the charge of Ramirez's heavy cavalry. The impact caused the soldier at the rear to be pushed forward a few steps even though his solid back withstood the pressure. The first few rows of soldiers who faced the enemy, except for those who were killed on the spot by lances pierced through their bodies, were all injured internally by the huge impact. Several ribs were broken, and blood flowed from their mouths and noses.

The cavalry brigade of the Ramirez people was also having a hard time. It has been a fatal mistake since ancient times to use cavalry to attack the line of defense composed of spearmen head-on.The cavaliers charging in the front row immediately turned on their backs after hitting the hedgehog circle. The spears of the heavily armored sergeants were the best weapon against cavalry charges. At that time, he was pierced by a spear and became a bunch of bloody "candied haws".

Not only that, but there were many partitions between the hedgehog formations formed by the heavy armored soldiers. Many Ramirez cavalry rushed into the partitions when they charged, and were stabbed to death with spears by the heavy armored soldiers on both sides. Those who escaped were not lucky enough to survive, because on the next line of defense, the spear militiamen deployed there were watching them eagerly!

"No!"

The young Ramirez cavalryman shouted in despair, and then a spear pierced diagonally from below, breaking through the defense of the chain mail he was wearing, and piercing his ribs, the young knight screamed in pain , and then fell to the ground clutching his wound, from the angle of his eyes that gradually lost color, the enemy who was holding a two-meter spear and a large kite-shaped shield calmly returned to his formation after assassinating him, The blood-stained metal spearhead reflected coquettish spots under the sunlight.

"Ugh-"

The dull horn sounded again, and the Ramirez cavalry who failed to break through the heavy sergeant's line of defense immediately turned their horses and retreated. At the same time, their infantry slowly approached. After the cavalry could not tear the enemy's line of defense, Oweko The king could only engage the enemy with his army of infantry.

Before the infantry fights, it is the confrontation between the light infantry.After the threat of the Ramirez cavalry was eliminated, the Ravana light infantry, mainly the crossbow militiamen, returned to the front again and shot at the approaching enemies. Not to be outdone, the Ramirez archers followed suit. The bow draws the arrows to fight back, and for a while, the rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, and rounds of dark arrow rain rose from the front of the two sides' formations, and then fell into the opponent's formations.

In the confrontation of light infantry, the melee infantry equipped with shields relied on their strong shields to defend against the arrows falling from the sky, but those light infantry who did not even have leather armor could only fight with their flesh and blood Well, the lucky ones were unscathed in several consecutive rounds of arrow rain, and the unlucky ones directly became hedgehogs in the first round of shooting each other.

whoosh-

When the arrow flew at high speed, it made a chilling sound of piercing through the air. A Ramirez archer who was about to take the arrow out of his quiver felt a black shadow flying towards him, and he looked up. In the next second, the crossbow directly hit his eye socket, crushing his skull and penetrating into his brain. The poor archer only had time to let out a heart-piercing scream, and then fell on his back.

While the light infantry of the two sides fired at each other, the Ramirez infantry had already rushed to a distance of less than 50 meters from the Ravana light infantry!
