Rise In Calradia

"shoot!"

　　 The cavalry units began to circle to the sides, and already before the formation, the Swadia crossbowmen and the mercenary crossbowmen who had reached the effective range also launched a round of fire. When their crossbow arrows flew halfway in the air, the crossbowmen of the mixed unit on the other side also shot arrows.

　　The soldiers on both sides raised their shields, and the crossbows and bows fell into the enemy's formation.

　　 Arrows hit the shield and made a crashing sound. When dozens of arrows passed, only a few unlucky ones would get caught, and they would rarely be fatal. But as time goes by, there will be more and more such unlucky guys.

　　 Bandak still played his usual style, either erecting a shield to wind a heavy crossbow, or shooting an arrow through the opponent's head. Even if the enemy's arrow falls on the side or on the shield, it is invisible.

　　Byron has been hiding behind the shield at this time to avoid being hit by Ryuya. He had seen how the country doctor, that is, how the shavers deal with arrow wounds, he didn't want to risk it. In case an armor-piercing arrow flew over when he probed, it would not be a joke.

　　 But Byron still had to take a look at the battlefield occasionally. Now the infantry distance between the two sides is close to 50 meters, and the light cavalry unit composed of caravan guards has also reached both sides of the opponent's phalanx.

　　 But facing the spear array lined up like a city wall, these cavalry didn't want to rush to die. More than fifty light cavalry were divided into four teams, and they all turned around about five meters away from the opponent's phalanx.

　　 Under this sudden attack, many of the bandit's mercenaries and the Rhodoks with their backs to them were hit by the javelin. Under the protection of armor, a javelin may not be lethal, but it can make a person directly lose combat effectiveness and cause panic to the entire team.

　　 Even those rocks larger than a fist can knock people stunned through the helmet if they are smashed correctly.

Some caravan guards also carry flail, some of Byron's caravan guards even have meteor hammers. These heavy objects with chains can easily cause bone fractures and internal injuries if they are entangled with people’s necks. Go on... Then it depends on your companions who can untie this thing before you are strangled to death.

　　 But in the same way, these light cavalry also lost eight people after one round of attack.

　　 Some were unlucky enough to hit the opponent's spear, and some were hit by the opponent's pirate's javelin and throwing axe. Fortunately, at this time, the archers of the bandits were shooting at each other with the archers of the Earl of Clays team, otherwise the casualties would have to be doubled.

　　 But the main purpose of these light cavalry is to disrupt the opponent's formation and create opportunities for the heavy cavalry behind.

This tactic had a certain effect, and after seeing the performance of the light cavalry, James also waved his hand, and a Swadia heavy cavalry blew the horn, including the hired riders of each team and Byron's A total of forty-seven heavy cavalry, including the Viking illegitimate knight, slapped the horses, accelerated their speed, and launched a charge toward the enemy phalanx that was constantly harassed by the light cavalry.

　　 The dull sound of horseshoes is getting closer, and the figure of the heavy cavalry rushing towards them with their backs facing the sun looks extremely large. In time, because of the heavy pressure that their armor puts on people, but also because of the glare of the morning sun behind them.

There is no way, even if the Rhodok noble knight had already considered this before the battle, as far as possible to avoid the frontal forces from the position of the rising sun, but their formation is a large rectangular array, once the four sides have to fight Enemies in the four directions always have positions that cannot be taken care of.

　　 "Long spear formation! Long spear formation!"

A captain of hire who was hired by the Rhodok knight pulled his throat and yelled, while a group of mercenaries armed with spears and several Rhodok skilled spearmen also squeezed through the chaotic crowd in front of them and walked to the front of the team. , Put the spear on the groove on the contradiction card, looking from a distance, a row of horizontal spear forests.

　　 The heavy cavalry is getting closer and closer, and the heartbeats of those mixed bandits also tremble with the rise and fall of the horses' hoofs.

　　Especially the soldiers standing in the first row, they have experienced a lot of battles, but facing a whole group of heavy cavalry like this, they still can't overcome the panic in their hearts.

　　 Some people's palms began to sweat, soaking their gloves. Some people have cramps in their calves, but they still forcefully help panic, telling themselves to stay where they are. Once they backed away, the spears and lances would penetrate their bodies.

　　 And at this time, their phalanx has changed from offensive to defensive, and the infantry unit led by the earl is getting closer and closer to them.

　　Byron had already dismounted, took his shield and mace, and led his other soldiers towards the opponent. The crossbowmen were still shooting at each other, but they could no longer stop the frontal collision between the two forces. Byron clearly saw the soldiers in front of them. They were holding shields and spears, like a wall, giving people a strong deterrent.

　　 Their footsteps are constantly approaching, just like the horses under the crotch of a heavy cavalry, getting closer and closer to the wall of spears and shields.

"bump!"

　　 The first impact came from the rear of the team. The light cavalry who had been circling around them suddenly changed their previous guerrilla tactics and launched an impact together under the leadership of their respective captains.

It seems foolish for the light cavalry to launch a frontal impact on a sturdy spear phalanx, but after a round of javelin stone flail throwing, rows of cavalry rush to the disrupted phalanx with their spears in between. , The effect is still considerable. The entire row of cavalry broke through the barrier of the spear, the spear pierced the human body, and the war horse knocked down the shield's defense. Although there are also horses and riders who will die in this impact, the chaos behind the side also affects the soldiers on the flanks to a certain extent. There are gaps in their formation and they have to be scattered and filled.

　　 At this time, the oncoming Swadia heavy cavalry had already put down their lances. When dozens of heavy cavalry put down this extremely lethal assault weapon together, it was also a spear forest.

The two rows of spear forests finally collided together. With the huge impact and the sound of the cracking of the wooden poles, the spears of the Swadia knights and heavy cavalry directly hit the shields of the spearmen, and in less than a second Within a short time, he knocked down the soldiers holding the shield and stepped on the horseshoe.

　　The soldiers who received the impact actually stabbed their long spears at the first time~www.NovelMTL.com~ and two military horses were stabbed into their bodies by the long spears under the impact. There were also cavalry who were shot down by the next batch of thorn cones and spears. However, this could not stop the collective charge of more than forty heavy cavalry. Under the impact of the lances, the soldiers standing in the first row only felt a sensation of broken bones in their arms. Before they felt the pain, they were shocked. The force overturned to the ground, was stepped on by the horse, or was made up by the cavalry behind with a spear.

　　Fatis also rushed into the opponent's army at this time, and several arrows fell on him, but he was bounced off by the breastplate without causing any skin injuries. His spear broke through the barrier of the shield, and even pierced the chest of a Rodok spearman behind. He was the same as other heavy cavalry. Although the horses were trapped in the opponent's army, the impact was greatly reduced, but the panicked soldiers still did not dare to face their spears, and consciously stepped out of the way, so they The charge continued, and this phalanx was torn into several sections by these heavy cavalry.

　　 And Elaine and the two Vickia riders also showed these Rhodoc and Swadia mercenaries how the Vickia cavalry fights. Their lances were not considered strong, and they were thrown directly after charging. After that, they would take out a long axe, and as long as they tried a little bit harder during the sprint, the heads and limbs of people would fall from their bodies.

　　 The fighting styles of mercenary cavalry and mercenary horsemen are a bit unique, and they can use whatever is convenient. Some rely on lances, some wield long swords, and some wield yokes and hold javelins. All kinds of weapons can have a good effect.

　　 Although Byron was standing on the other side of the formation, he still saw the heavy cavalry rushing into the opponent's formation not far away, as well as the enemy infantry who were crushed by them all the way.

　　 The impact on him is not so big.
