Rise In Calradia

"The Swadians are here!"

"Those cowards riding horses are here!"

In the Nord camp north of Ripplet, all the horns were blown. The Nord soldiers who were eating and drinking around the pot immediately threw away their bowls and dry bread and took up their weapons to prepare for battle.

But when they rushed to the periphery of the camp, the dense horseshoes shook the ground under their feet, and the pennant on the Swadia cavalry's lance fluttered in the wind, and the soldiers' shouting and killing trembled the sky.

Countless cavalry horses formed a black line on the horizon, extending from the east of the camp to the west of the camp.

In the face of this huge cavalry force, if you change to another country, even if it is the Rhodok infantry who is famous for discipline, or the Vikia infantry who is famous for toughness, even if they have more than ten thousand people, they are facing thousands of people. When the cavalry was still the strongest heavy cavalry unit in Swadia, they would be timid. Swallowed by fear.

But when the Nord soldiers saw the Swadia cavalry in the distance through the wooden fences and simple trenches of the camp, half of the soldiers ignited their fighting spirit, knocking on their shields with their battle axes, and shouting in the northern dialect. With the slogan, rushed to the outskirts of the camp.

The Nord archers, wearing tight leather armor and chain mail, rushed out of the camp, stood in front of the trenches and pulled their bows, constantly shooting arrows toward the cavalry phalanx coming in.

Although only a part of the archers came to the front in time to shoot, the uninterrupted shooting of hundreds of bows and arrows still caused certain casualties to the light cavalry in the charge.

The composition of these light cavalry is very mixed, and the equipment is not uniform. There are not only Swadia light infantry and infantry who have mastered horsemanship, but also a large number of caravan guards in the mercenary series and a small number of hired horsemen. There are even nomadic mercenaries from the eastern steppes. They often only wear robes to fight, but they are very skilled in equestrianism and shooting.

After almost 50 hussars were killed by bows or arrows, their horses fell to the ground and they were trampled on by the horses behind, causing them to die. Swadia’s hussars finally approached the Nord’s camp. The trenches they dug.

As the horses approached the trenches, the horses turned one after another, and the light cavalry began to run back and forth around the camp, throwing javelin and flail and other throwing weapons on the way, or shooting arrows from their horses to kill the poorly equipped Nord archers. But more often, they are busy with one job, that is, throwing cloth bags prepared on horseback into the trenches.

The bag was full of sand, and the place where the light cavalry threw the cloth bag was relatively concentrated. After a huge queue of light cavalry ran around the camp for about three minutes, several roads filled with sandbags appeared in the trenches of the Nords. Although it was still not flat, it was enough for the horse to carry the rider across from above.

The Nord warriors, wearing chain armor and holding battle axes in hand, have also arrived outside the camp. They formed a line in front of those paths, fearlessly raising shields, spears and one-handed battle axes, and using their bodies to confront. Cavalry's line of defense.

Of course, when the light cavalry on the Swadia side attacked from those paths, they would also use the javelin with throwing axes, the two most commonly used high-kill throwing weapons of the Nord infantry at the cavalry. Throw the horse away. They knew very well that the fallen rider could easily be trampled to death, and the fallen horse would also affect the charge of the cavalry behind them.

The Nord warriors fight fiercely. They skillfully use spears to pierce the vital points of the horses and the vital parts of the riders on the horseback. If the opponent falls from the horse, then the Nord warriors will chop off their heads cleanly with the battle axe in their hands.

But even though they blocked these aisles, they still couldn't stop the cavalry who circled the camp from throwing light torches into their camp, and they couldn't stop the flames from spreading in the chaotic camp.

For the Swadia side, especially for Earl William, who is in charge of commanding the light cavalry, the progress of the battle is a bit unsatisfactory. The heavy cavalry will arrive soon, but the light cavalry did not attack the camp as expected. Half of the soldiers here are mercenaries, and their combat effectiveness is good, but when it comes to this kind of life safety, it is easy to lose the chain and dare not move forward.

"Offensive! Offensive! Offensive!"

Count Dale William repeated the offensive order three times before allowing the remaining more than 1,300 cavalry to launch a storm.

The horse crossed the trench, and the cavalry wielded sabers and swords. Although there is no horse armor, horses are not tall military horses and war horses. They can still knock down enemies in front of them, even if those people are wearing heavy armor.

The hussars rushed through the trenches, and the fallen horses filled the trenches out of the trenches again. The Nord archers put away their bows and arrows, drew out the short swords and hatchets from their waists, they surrounded the cavalry, broke the horse's legs, and stabbed the rider to death. Although they are archers, their melee capabilities are almost the same as Nord's level 3 infantry, but they are lighter. More than a thousand archers who rushed out of the camp also stopped a part of the light cavalry by close combat.

The soldiers in the Nord camp also recovered from the chaos at this time and regained their fighting spirit. They did not fear the Swadians who were riding horses. Under the orders of the Yars, they rushed out of the camp and entangled the cavalry who could not use the space because of the small space~www.wuxiaspot.com~the horses of the hussars. The losses are constantly increasing, and the casualties of Nord's infantry are also on the rise. However, the losses on the Swadia side were more than one-fifth, and when morale had begun to shake, the Nord soldiers were still rushing out of the camp continuously, and the number far exceeded that of the attacking Swadia light cavalry. quantity.

Earl William knew that the time had come, and the scout had sent back news that the two heavy cavalry units commanded by Earl Clays and Earl Dilinard had reached the designated position, and it only took a few minutes to initiate a charge here.

He let his men sound the horn, and made the troops retreat like a pre-arranged, seemingly panic retreat, and on the way to retreat, he also throws trophies such as weapons and shields on the ground, and even horses can be left to the opponent. .

The soldiers of Nord saw that the opponent began to retreat, and their morale immediately rose. The Yars were still in the camp at this time. Most of the Gals saw the enemy’s weapons and equipment that were thrown all over the floor. They thought this was an unsuccessful raid or test by Swadia, and they blocked it. After all those guys, it's time to pick up the spoils.

When the Yars discovered that something was wrong, one-third of the people in the camp had already rushed out to pursue them, and another one-third had blocked the camp and rushed out.
