Rise In Calradia

"It's a Swadian! It's a Swadian cavalry!"

On the road to Fort Amila, the advancing Rhodok army suddenly became a mess. These soldiers, who were advancing at full speed under the order of Count Tazias, were already exhausted, and the number of people left behind had reached one in ten. More than half of them removed their armors in order to hurry and prevent the equipment from rusting, and marched more easily. People and horse-drawn carriages were walking together, and the soldiers wearing helmets wiped off the rain that was constantly falling on their faces as they walked. The morale that was originally created to reward and drive out foreign enemies has basically dissipated. I'm afraid they don't even have the mind to continue walking. But when this news came, how could the soldiers not panic?

Under the command of the earl and the command of the sergeants, those soldiers who had not taken off their armor flocked to the rear, ready to resist the opponent's charge, while those who had removed their armor began to wear armor and prepare to defend. The cavalry on both sides of the marching queue immediately dispatched to intercept the opposing cavalry, trying to get as long as possible for their troops to prepare.

The Earl’s scouts were shot and killed by the Khergit riders brought by the opponent, but even so when the opponent’s army was two miles away, the rest of the scouts were spotted by the rest of the scouts. When the Rhodok army began to prepare, The Cavalry of the Peony Regiment still has close to one mile to go. Relying on this insufficient time, the Rodok infantry formed a line of defense in the rear. Although thin, it is better than none.

In a short while, the Peony flag appeared in the eyes of the Rodok soldiers. 50 heavily armed mercenary cavalry, 70 light cavalry with lances and sabers, they were closely arranged to form three rows of compact and extremely compact. The impact cavalry phalanx began to accelerate slowly towards Rodok's troops.

"Bowmen! Kill them!"

The sergeants roared, dozens of Rhodok skilled crossbowmen and several senior crossbowmen immediately shot crossbow bolts from behind the spearmen, but in this rainy weather, the protection of the crossbow and crossbow will be damaged if they are not properly protected. The quasi-head is naturally a big discount. Few of these experienced crossbowmen can fall into the cavalry team in a round of volleys, and the few that have not missed the shot are also blocked on the shield. But the crossbowmen in the second row immediately stepped forward and continued to shoot. When the crossbow arrows were fired in the second round, the opponent's team was closer to them, so this round of shooting was effective. A mercenary cavalry was shot in the neck. Fortunately, The chain armor shoulders blocked the deadly attack, only a few iron rings broke off, already intense pain and discomfort, and the terrible bruise that appeared afterwards. There was also a hussar's horseback that hit the neck and fell to the ground, crushing the rider on the horseback to the ground, and the few people behind him also messed up the formation.

But the crossbowmen’s attacks did not stop the opponent’s advance. Most of their arrows fell on the shield and armor, either inserted into the shield or bounced off by the armor or stuck in the armor but did not hurt the flesh and blood. The array of heavy cavalry quickly rushed to the front of the rear guard defense unit, and then the lances were inserted into it. The entire row of Rhodok soldiers was defeated by the dense cavalry phalanx, and the weak front line was also destroyed. Directly rush. More spearmen arrived later, but faced with such a dense cavalry formation that did not form a stable formation, they could only avoid them. Then they found the opportunity to drag down a few enemies from the horseback with a hook and scythe, but the entire rear army The line was broken up in this way.

Rhodok’s cavalry unit has not tried to intercept, but the opponent only divided out one-third of the heavy cavalry, and it smashed the cavalry unit composed of dozens of poor Rhodok’s rich children. Live in the rest of the Rodok cavalry, so that they can not move and can not provide timely support.

But for the Rhodoks, the problem did not stop there. From the flanks of the troops came the trumpets commonly used by the Swadians, 40 Swadian heavy cavalry and dozens of Salanders and Khergits. The heavy cavalry queue formed by people suddenly appeared on the hilly slopes of their flanks, and then they launched a condescending charge.

The Rhodok troops on the flanks were completely unprepared. Faced with the sudden attack, the soldiers on the flanks had arrived at the side before even stringing the crossbow with the Swadia heavy cavalry lances. The leader of this cavalry unit was Fatis. With very good experience in cavalry combat, he broke through from the weak point of the Rhodok flanks. The cavalry lance of the heavy cavalry directly pierced the front Rhodok soldier. They were pierced through their bodies before they had time to put on their armors, and then the soldiers behind them were knocked over by the strong Swadian horses, and were completely killed under the footsteps of the heavy horses.

The long marching team of Rodok was torn apart by two holes. The heavy cavalry continued to charge inward, while the light cavalry raised their sabers and long swords to knock the heads stunned and run around. Ke people beheaded one by one. There were also a few cavalry with special tasks, always following the end of the team. When the local line was temporarily defeated and the carriages that transported baggage and siege equipment were exposed in front of them, they immediately rushed over and opened the carriage. I carefully took out the small gunpowder kegs wrapped in multi-layer felt cloth and the charcoal fire stored in the cans from the basket on the horse’s back, lit the gunpowder kegs and threw them on the carriages, and then ran to them. Repeat this move before the next carriage. To be on the safe side, another cavalry will take out the olive oil can and pour oil on the car so that the flame will not go out directly in the rain.

Afterwards, the explosion sounded and the two carriages were broken apart. The support of the cart and the parts of the catapult shattered in the explosion, and the carriages carrying supplies also burned. Dry food was bombed everywhere. Most All were crushed into the mud in the chaos and became inedible.

The whole bag of grain and flour was cut open by a knife, and was sprinkled on the ground as the horses ran, cabbage was thrown everywhere, and valuable food such as dried meat and honey was snatched away by light cavalry with less weight. Hung on the horse and ran right away.

The elite troops under Count Tazias and Count Leyland finally arrived at ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They were indeed good at fighting. Facing the impact of the cavalry, they used long spear phalanx to stop each other at a small price. The horses quickly pulled a dozen cavalry off their horses, and asked the soldiers with military hoes and page hammers to come forward and beat them to death.

Fatis knew that if he continued, he would not be able to win the battle again, so they threw the last two gunpowder kegs at the opposing infantry front. Although the flames and smoke only killed a few people, they stopped the whole group of soldiers from advancing. . Fatis took the opportunity to take the cavalry from the position they had broken through and left, and quickly left Rhodok's infantry behind. But when the main equipment of the Rodok cavalry was properly assembled, they found that they couldn't catch up with the opponent at the speed of their horses, and they could only watch the opponent flee.

In this battle, the loss of the Rodok troops was not great. The impact of the two rounds of heavy cavalry seemed terrible, but in total they did not kill more than a hundred people, and the number of wounded was not too much, not to mention that they also killed almost. The 20 enemy cavalry is not too bad from the point of view of value. But because of the opponent's surprise attack, they lost almost half of their supplies, almost all of their siege equipment was destroyed, and they could only do it from scratch.

That night, Count Tazias and Count Leyland drank a lot of wine. The middle-aged lord annoyed his brother and called Byron a villain, a vulture in a noble coat. He did not speak martial arts, and engaged in a sneak attack. , No chivalry (though Rhodoks generally don't care about this). Although a bit far-fetched, in view of the current situation, no one under him questioned this.
