Rise In Calradia

Chapter 119: : Assault on the Rhodok Army

The charge of the cavalry was repeated three times. More than thirty Rhodok soldiers fell under their charge. Under the continuous shooting of Rhodok sergeants and crossbowmen, the cavalry that launched the charge was quickly killed. There were more than ten people, and the number of soldiers who fell from the horse was no less than this.

   Swadia's heavy cavalry is well equipped and the position when charging is better, so only two fall.

   Most of the casualties were mercenaries.

  Of course, they included Byron’s Peony Cavalry. They rushed down two or three times, and at least five hired horsemen fell.

   Watching the cavalry in front charge there, Byron's heart is also aching.

   He handed over half of the cavalry, especially the old cavalry who had followed him before, to the baron's command, and the other party didn't seem to care about the life and death of the mercenaries.

   Under the command of the baron, the infantry also began to advance, attracting firepower, and impacting the opponent's formation frontally. And standing in the forefront is still the elite of the mercenaries.

   The baron naturally had his considerations. He didn't want to waste his soldiers and the earl's soldiers on this, but this behavior did make the mercenary leaders a little dissatisfied.

   The cavalry's impact is very effective. Rhodok's phalanx has disintegrated in one corner, and a gap has also appeared in the other corner. However, the ratio of two to one, or infantry for cavalry, is how the opposite earns.

   "Fatis, Kenrad, you prepare with the remaining cavalry, and when the infantry passes, you will attack their flanks."

  "Bandak, Desaivi, don't stop suppressing bows and arrows. Even if you can't shoot them, you have to suppress their spirit!

   "Eleon, you come with me, and we attack together. I believe your ability is enough to protect my safety."

   Byron gave the order. Although it slightly conflicted with the previous order of the Baron, he would not let his soldiers be consumed in front.

  He changed his tactics appropriately. This is the experience he has been studying the biographies and military books for this period of time, and it is also a summary of the experience of previous battles.

   Compared to the young man who didn't know anything before, he almost completely relied on the young man who passed through his subordinates during the battle. Now Byron has the temperament of a commander and leader in the true sense. Observe the situation, think about tactics, give orders, and do it all in one go.

  Fatis nodded, and Eleon was even more proud of Byron's words. Kenra blew a whistle, and the mercenary cavalry and Salander riders behind him immediately drew their sabers and followed his footsteps.

   Bandak put on the crossbow strings, and together with Desaiwei, they brought dozens of crossbowmen to the front of the team, holding their shields and moving forward.

  Byron did not walk in front of the team, because he really did not dare to use his armor to try the true power of the Rodok Siege Crossbow.

He dare not keep his throat to encourage the surrounding soldiers, and asked John next to him to raise the spear with the peony flag so that hundreds of soldiers can see him and know that he is in them. beside.

   The cavalry who attacked the Rhodok army before were not as fast as before, and the heavy burden made their horses a little overwhelming. They began to run towards the flank, preparing to launch the deadliest blow with the infantry.

   "Offensive!"

   The Baron’s banner was waving, and Byron also drew his sword and yelled at the order.

  The cavalry of the Peony mercenary began to accelerate, and the infantry also rushed towards the tortoise shell phalanx with the arrow rain of the Rodok crossbowmen.

Bandak took the guerrilla shooters and hired shooters into the 50 steps before shooting the crossbow bolts. Only in this way, the damage of the crossbow bolts can be increased, and the scale and mail armor of the Rhodok soldiers can be shot through, and Inflict the greatest damage on the Rodok crossbowmen wearing thick cotton armor.

   The women who accompanied the camp also rushed to a place thirty steps away from the opponent's formation under the cover of the infantry in front, and shot crossbow arrows. Most of their crossbows are improved versions of hunting crossbows. Only at this distance can they shoot through the mail.

   These two crossbow arrows are fairly dense, and their power is not bad, but for the Rodok Spearman holding a tall and broad shield, the damage of these crossbow arrows is not obvious. Only a few crossbowmen fell under the snipers of Bandak and Desaiwei.

   In the mutual arrows of the two sides, soldiers on both sides suffered a lot of casualties. However, it is clear that under the same proportion, the mercenary troops on Swadia's side have suffered more losses. , Is twice as much as the other party.

The mercenary infantry and Swadia infantry and light infantry in the first row of the team shouted and rushed up, brandishing their swords and hammers. Some of them also carried javelins and throwing axes. In the formation, they threw these throwing weapons desperately at the Rhodok spearmen on the opposite side.

   But because of the shield protection, the spearmen did not receive any obvious damage. In the command sound with a southern accent, the originally loose phalanx stabilized again, and the rows of spears pierced violently under the lead of the spearman's powerful arm.

Many mercenaries and Swadia soldiers charging at the forefront were stabbed by spears. In a cry of pain, the sharp spears pierced through the gaps between their armors, piercing their locks and soft armor. A ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ plunges into the muscles.

   And the weapons of the mercenaries also smashed on the shields, many spearmen were forced to retreat, and even lost their spears. But the shield is on their arms, and the soldiers behind them will withstand their bodies. So no matter how the body retreats, as long as the formation does not disperse, their defensive line will remain strong.

The spears in the second row are also swung down from above. These bladed spears are like machetes, slashing fiercely on the armor of the soldiers. Even if they cannot be cut through, they can cause severe bruises and even fractures. .

   At this time, Byron and Elaine also led the rest of the soldiers to charge. They followed the footsteps of the previous cavalry and rushed to the flank of the phalanx that had been crushed by the heavy cavalry charge.

   The horses began to neigh, Byron and the others were holding lances and spears, brandishing sabers and sharp swords, dozens of cavalrymen smashed into the opponent's phalanx like heavy hammers.

Perhaps the well-trained Rhodoc soldiers can remain stable under the siege of three times their own enemy infantry, but when there is a gap in the formation, they are wearing thick horse armor and maintaining high-speed charging horses and horses. When heavy cavalry is also fully armed, armed with lances and spears, even they must instinctively produce fear.

   Eleon's Moonblade Battle Axe chopped down a Rhodok Lancer, and his horse slammed into it with the sting of the spear.

   The two spearmen were knocked to the ground, and the rest of the cavalry who had not been stabbed and dropped from the horse also followed through this gap, picking up more Rodok soldiers with their long pole weapons.

Byron wielded a lance with a flag marked with a peony, and Fatis and Kenrad, who had rushed to the flanks, also turned around with his cavalry, forming a tight assault formation, and rammed into the flanking phalanx. In the gap.
