Rise In Calradia

In order to make up for his own lack of cavalry, Count Mattas spent a lot of money to hire a mercenary cavalry team, not for heavy cavalry that can defeat Swadia, as long as he can block them when the opponent initiates a charge. . However, when Earl Matt Ass discovered that Earl Leyland's army had fallen into a passive situation, he did not hesitate to order his commander to lead the cavalry unit to rush over to relieve Earl Leyland. If the allied forces were in chaos before he joined the battle, it would be difficult to win this battle.

With the sound of the horn, the flag of Earl Matthias fluttered over the cavalry. The heavily armed mercenary cavalry did not hesitate. Under the leadership of the officers, they clamped their legs and flicked the reins, holding their lances. He rushed towards the mixed infantry formation of Nord and Vickia.

Of course Byron didn’t intend to let the opponent do what he wanted. As soon as he waved his hand, the standard bearers waved the flag. Fattis, who commanded the heavy cavalry unit, immediately raised his lance, accompanied by a short and urgent trumpet, from Swadia, Vicia and Salander's heavy cavalry immediately drove forward with their hips, and then faster and faster, until they were fast enough to overturn the opponent directly from the back of the horse with their lances. They maintained this speed and launched a fatal charge towards the opposing cavalry. This is a real test of riding skills, everything must be controlled properly, otherwise they will be killed on the spot before their lances touch the opponent's body.

Although Earl Matthias had more cavalry, Byron had no doubt that they would win. A large group of mercenary cavalry and mercenary cavalry, plus those Rodok noble cavalry, whose combat effectiveness is not so good, are no matter how hard he is to reload elite opponents under his command. What's more, after Fatis led the heavy cavalry to charge, he still had a large number of light cavalry guarding the flanks of the troops under Rolf's command, waiting for orders to set off at any time.

From this point of view, Byron has a great advantage. His infantry line suppressed the large army of Earl Leyland, and his heavy cavalry will surely clear out the mercenary cavalry of Earl Matt Asth. The initiative to get up is entirely on Byron's side. But Byron knew that their advantage at this time was only performance. As the opponent's offensive strengthened, he had to divide his troops into two waves and put them on the battlefield. This is why the two earls arranged their troops in the swamp. side. They considered the possibility that Byron might concentrate their troops to break one of their sides, so they deliberately chose the current battlefield and the position of the troops. The quagmire where the Earl of Leyland’s troops were located was very muddy, and the horses basically ran on it. Even if Byron’s infantry had gained an advantage, the cavalry could not enter the battlefield in time to attack their flanks and defeat the Rodok phalanx. The Earl Matthias's troops are located on the flatter side of the swamp, which facilitates the formation of mercenary troops and cavalry activities. In a sense, Earl Matt Ass even exposed the weakness of the formation to attract Byron's cavalry.

"It's not useful in the mud on the other side anyway. It's better to send the cavalry to the other side to contain the enemy." This made Byron have this idea, and constantly put his mobile power into another battlefield. Although the soldiers are not as powerful as the elites in the hands of the strangers, they are enough to delay both sides until they are exhausted. After that, the Rhodok phalanx can continue to consume the opponent's morale and physical strength until the Byron troops, who are at a disadvantage, are exhausted to the point where they can no longer attack. In this way, even if they failed to defeat Byron, In terms of price/performance ratio, Byron also suffered a loss. The elite troops were all spent with a lot of money and time.

Both Fatis and Elaine discovered the problem, so they stepped up their offensive against the Earl of Leyland. When the first infantry gained the advantage, the second infantry under the command of Desaivi and Bandak Immediately engaged in the battle, the entire team of mercenary halberds and mountain infantry marched in an array, reaching the designated position under the cover of the previous group of infantry, and those archers and crossbowmen also followed, ignoring Rhodo. Ke's crossbow arrows began to throw a rain of arrows toward the opponent's infantry line. The only army of crossbowmen that Byron didn’t use was Jamila’s female barracks. Byron was worried that he would consume all arrows in the battle with Rodok, and let Matt’s hire crossbows. The fighters took advantage, so a team of crossbowmen was specially set aside to deal with them.

In this fierce long-range exchange of fire, Earl Leyland’s troops were damaged and retreated by almost one-tenth. Only then did they discover a key problem, that is, although the muddy ground restricted the cavalry of the opposing troops, but It also made it difficult for the convoy that cooperated with the crossbowmen to move, and the heavy-loaded senior spearmen and sergeants also took action. The troops finally reorganized the queue. As a result, the key troops moved slowly, and the northerners did not take the initiative to attack. I can only move forward slowly and serve as a target for the opponent's archer~www.wuxiaspot.com~ However, at this time, the attacks of Vicia's archers have also slowed down. When defending, they put away the expensive cone-shaped arrows under Bandak's order, and switched to shooting with cheaper arrows, some of which were carefully made of wood. This is nothing but to create pressure on the opponent, suppress the actions of their troops, the crossbowmen's counterattack, and buy time for their own reinforcements.

The infantry formations of the two sides continued to pull in like this. In addition to the crossbowmen shooting each other, the Nord soldiers also raised their javelins and throwing axes, and began to throw these weapons toward the opposite phalanx. Rodok's broad shield is very strong, but it does not mean that these throwing weapons can be ignored. Although not many people died because of this, the impact of these throwing axes and javelins on their morale was very obvious.

On the other side, the heavy cavalry of Fatis had also approached the mercenary cavalry. Two rows of lances reflected white light in the sunlight, and a piece of muddy water splashed on the ground when the horses ran. Hundreds of heavy cavalry lined up in two cone-shaped formations as sharp as sharp knives. In this terrible impact, only one sharp blade can survive.

In the end, as the two front lances collided together, the enemy faces of the two sides continued to spread. In this huge collision, riders were knocked into flight at all times, and injured horses were in the air. Falling down in serious injury. In this cruel ceremony of iron and blood, soldiers must learn to persevere, because if they make a mistake, they will fall from the horse and be trampled to death.

The brave cavalry proved the reasonableness of their usual high treatment, and it also showed that these heavy cavalry would pray religiously like gods before entering the war, and after the war, they would leave behind all wanton enjoyment. Because they deeply understand a truth:

"I don't care about identity, no wealth, all beings are equal when riding a gun!"
