Rise In Calradia

"Rhodoks, go ahead!"

After the wide sand dunes, a group of heavily armed Rhodok infantry was steadily advancing under the leadership of the company captain. They are the main force of the Byron infantry. Half of this 500-man infantry team is replaced with better weapons and armor. Rodok skilled spearmen, the other half are Rodok senior spearmen and the Rodok sergeants who led the teams. They are armed with longer spears than before, and the pace is firmer than before, and the drummer is beating the snare drum. , The flag bearer held the flag high, and when he moved, the entire phalanx was like a soldier. After this phalanx, there is another Rhodok company composed of 500 people. However, at least 300 people in this company are Rhodok’s skilled crossbowmen and senior crossbowmen. There are also scary but high-precision crossbowmen. There are fewer snipers than sergeants, and the rest are spearmen who protect the number of crossbowmen on the periphery. The two Roddock companies have been trained by Byron and Resalite for a long time. Many of them were selected from the Peony mercenaries. They are highly loyal to Byron, disciplined, and strong in combat.

The two Rodoks walked up the sand dunes in neat steps, and the rest of the Swadia infantry also arrived one after another. Looking forward, they saw dust flying like a sandstorm and wearing black armor robes. , Mamluk cavalry wielding a heavy hammer.

The infantry of Count Craggs had never seen this kind of formation in the desert. The huge cavalry force of the Salanders put them no less pressure than facing the knights. They held the spears in their hands tightly and only hoped Terrain and long guns can give them a certain advantage, but even so, these soldiers still have no bottom, and the state of the Rhodok soldiers next to them is completely different. These Rhodoc infantry did not change anything, but aimed their spears at the enemy in front.

The Mamluk cavalry were getting closer and closer to the sand dunes, and Rodok and Swadia's crossbowmen also came to the front of the team and shot arrows at the enemy's cavalry.

The armor of the Mamluk cavalry is very strong. The thick chain armor and patterned iron can bounce off those arrows that are not powerful enough. After the first round of volleys, the Mamluks in the distance were not even injured. , Only the crossbow bolt was shot into the sand. Afterwards, the second round of crossbow arrows fell, but the effect was similar to the last time. The Mamluks saw that the opponent's crossbows were so weak, so they stopped taking precautions, and began to detour towards the sides of the dunes with confidence.

At this time, the Swadia guerrilla shooters and Rodok crossbowmen were replaced. A large number of crossbowmen from Rodok Company stepped forward. They looked not far away, and because they were preparing to detour, they were unprepared and exposed. The Mamluk cavalry with weak back and armor quickly raised the heavy crossbow and the siege crossbow, and then pulled the trigger.

This time, the arrow shot through the chain armor, penetrated the inner lining and clothing, and shot into the flesh. Most of the crossbow arrows were not deep enough to cause fatal wounds, but they were enough to affect the heavy cavalry in the next battle. But those crossbow arrows from the snipers were full of vigor, and the Sarand knights under the covered helmets gritted their teeth, because they clearly felt the crossbow arrows that touched the bones and even entered the internal organs. Soon, several Mamluks who were counting arrows fell from their horses, while the remaining cavalry continued to charge under the rain of arrows. They knew very well that the winding speed of those Rodok crossbows was much slower than that of bows and arrows.

Sure enough, things were as they thought. Light crossbows could not cause enough damage to them, while the slow winding speed of heavy crossbows and siege crossbows could not suppress their attacks. Soon, after the hundreds of Mamluk cavalrymen detoured back to the sand dunes from two different directions, they almost effortlessly smashed the Swadia light infantry unit that was standing there, and then they mounted the sand dunes on horseback. The two wings charged towards each other.

Unlike the Swadia knights who are constantly sprinting in the crowd with their lances, the Mamluks of Salander will also use their lances to cause devastating blows to the enemy when they charge, but these heavy cavalry will immediately Replaced with two-handed hammers, smashed every enemy's head they saw as they smashed a pumpkin.

Swadia's flat helmet couldn't stop the full swing of this heavy hammer at all. With just one stroke, the shock of the brain was enough to make a Swadia infantry lose consciousness or even open the head directly. And when hundreds of such powerful cavalry continue to wield their warhammers in the crowd to rush to kill, the morale of the surrounding infantry will also suffer a heavy blow.

On the two wings of Byron’s two Rhodok companies were Swadia infantry of nearly 1,000 men, half of which were Suno soldiers of the Earl of Craggs, and the other half were a piece of coalition infantry. Needless to say, those The mixed unit that had command problems was immediately defeated. Those Mamluks only charged for the first time and completely disrupted their formation. In a panic, the soldiers were knocked down by war horses and hit their heads with hammers. After being cut by a sharp machete or even cutting off the head, the advantage of the spear was completely lost. They just kept stabbing, but half a day’s effort was only killed by the two small groups of Swadia soldiers who barely got together. Two Mamluks were killed and one was seriously injured. On the contrary, they paid hundreds of casualties, and one side of the front line was torn apart as a result.

But on the other side, Mamluk's charge was not so smooth. In order to defeat the already famous Rhodok infantry in Byron's hands, Ali's deputy led the cavalry into the crowd from behind. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

They overwhelmed the Rodok soldiers in the first row with no effort, and then knocked down the Rodok soldiers in the second row, but when they got to the third row, they felt strenuous and they didn’t wait for them to continue. When the horses rushed forward, they were stabbed by several rows of long spears and brought down, and the mercenary halberd sergeants mixed in them dragged off the horseback riders. Mamluk's impact is very powerful, and the follow-up combat ability is even more impressive. However, Byron’s Rodok Company did not collapse in the impact. The soldiers still held their positions, raising their spears to stab the weak points of the opponent’s armor again and again, or pulling them off the horse and several people pressed the opponent together. Constantly hitting and stabs in the place, just like dealing with Swadians.

The Earl Craggs’ troops seemed to have been inspired by the friendly forces. They could no longer support them. But when the Rodok Company began to stand firm and continue to kill Mamluk who had penetrated deep into it, the sergeants began to shout: " We can't lose to the Rodoks!" After that, the soldiers once again plucked up their courage, desperately blocked the incoming enemy, and temporarily blocked their attack.

In this way, Ali's idea of ​​using his powerful Mamluks to defeat the enemy's side forces failed. Although they had gained a lot, they obviously couldn't keep getting close. But he didn't pay too much attention to the battle over there at this time. After all, on the main battlefield, Byron's army had already launched an attack against them.
