Black Iron Crown

Chapter 297: Sudden change

The war proceeded unhurriedly, and Earl Weasley did not dare to step forward when he saw the enemy cowering and ordered the phalanx to advance fifty meters to oppress the enemy.

Upon seeing this, Sir Flandt also ordered the army to advance, using half, that is, 550 serf signs, against the soldiers of the flank Earl Weasley's headquarters, not seeking defeat, but only seeking to delay their footsteps.

The knights followed along on the flank of the Chinese army, ready to fight against the charge of the enemy knights.

Sir Frank marched quietly in the center of the team. The soldiers looked at themselves, the victorious commander, with worried eyes, and they couldn't help but wince.

Although Sir Frank led the army to win many victories, it was just a few small troopers, at most it was to wipe out some mercenaries who came to the territory to commit crimes.

Now, what they are about to face is the elite troops of the imperial family. They are powerful enemies with extraordinary imposing armor. How can their own team that has only fought bandit mercenaries fight against the enemy?

Sir Frank has noticed these thoughts of the soldiers below. Even with the prestige of his many victories, he cannot dispel the fear in the hearts of the soldiers, and can only bite the bullet.

The armies of the two rooms were completely entangled together, and Sir Frank directed the serf signs in front of him to rush to the front row of the counterinsurgency.

Moreover, Sir Flandt shrewdly did not order the regular army to attack with the serf signs, but instead sent a small part of the regular army to supervise them not to escape.

He started to lead soldiers to fight at the age of fifteen. In the south, it was very common to conscript a large number of serf soldiers in battle. After a long time, he discovered the great shortcomings of serf soldiers.

Not to mention low morale, it is also very easy to be defeated by the enemy. Once a rout occurs, it will have a great impact on the regular army in the rear, chaotically dissipating the regular army's established formation.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Sir Frank only sent serf symptom soldiers to consume the physical strength of the rebels, and did not let the regular army follow closely.

The serf symptom soldiers did not dare to compliment their combat effectiveness, and they collapsed after being shot by the rebels.

Just listening to a sharp sound in the sky, more than three hundred arrows fell into the array of the sign soldiers, and seventy or eighty people fell in an instant. They rolled over their wounds and screamed desperately.

The rest of the symptom soldiers were also worried, and looked at the enemy formation in front of them and flinched.

The supervising team at the rear began to urge the group of omens to move forward with long swords and spears. In order not to be killed by those behind, they could only continue to tremble towards the impossible enemy in front of them.

"Retreat the archers first!" Count Weasley frowned, looking at the serf signs approaching in front of him, and said to the attendants beside him.

Although the serf symptom soldiers had low morale and weak combat effectiveness, if they really met with archers who were not very armored, they would probably suffer some losses.

After the order was given, the archers with extremely strong upper limbs withdrew back. The regular soldiers in the front row raised their spears, clenched their bucklers, and leaned slightly to prepare for the battle.

Looking at the sturdy enemy army in front, the serf symptom soldiers were completely defeated just as soon as they contacted them, and they could not regroup no matter how the soldiers in the rear beat, cursed, slashed and slashed.

Count Weasley couldn't help sighing, the enemy commander did have two tactics, and he immediately nullified the first trump card he had arranged.

Even if the enemy had won a lot of armor to counter the rebels in the previous ambush, their armor rate was extremely low.

The shooting of a bow and arrow may not be a big deal in front of armored troops, but it is a very powerful killer when the enemy is not armored. Only one arrow can make the enemy lose its combat effectiveness.

Now Sir Frank used the most useless serf signs to force the archers to retreat, which was beyond the expectation of Count Weasley.

Sir Frank was still standing still on the standing horse at this time. No one knew what the expression on the face under the helmet was, whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.

Sir Frank raised his right hand slightly and said: "The whole army is moving forward slowly, keeping the formation in order, and preparing to approach the enemy line. The archer will shoot first after reaching range!"

Yes, the Earl of Flandre used the serf signs to offset the archer advantage of the counter-insurgency, and his archers can still shoot in the front.

The blue-bottomed Mochizuki and Citigroup fluttered gently under the warm summer breeze, and the army under this banner marched tragically towards the almost impossible to defeat army.

"shooting!"

When the distance between the two sides was close to about 80 meters, the archers in the front row of the Creek Army launched a shooting, and two hundred arrows flew towards the counter-insurgents like tricky snakes.

The wood grown in the south is hard and flexible. It is an excellent material for making bows and arrows, so the shooting power is quite good.

Only one shot caused the loss of more than 30 people to the counter-insurgency, which was defended by iron armor and shields.

After two rounds of shooting, the archers withdrew to the rear of the team, because Earl Weasley was worried that the enemy would have to shoot endlessly, and had given the order for the infantry to move forward.

The two infantrymen smashed into each other fiercely. In just a moment, the Crick army suffered a big loss. Without armor and not as good as the enemy, they were like a small truck hitting the body of a bus. Again, you can see a noticeable retreat.

Then came the cruel hand-to-hand combat. Because of the armor, the Crick Army still suffered a little bit, and the loss was even greater, and could only sustain it under the storm-like attacks of the enemy.

The assembled vassals all set their sights on Sir Frank. Although he had won many victories with the army in the past, it was also the first time for such a large-scale war with vassals also participating.

Sir Frank faced several pairs of eyes but was unmoved, still standing still as if Tarzan, observing the battle ahead.

He didn't have many cards in his hand, and he couldn't make any effective deployments at all.

"It's time to start!" Sir Frank whispered to an attendant next to him, who immediately rode his horse and ran out of the formation, disappearing.

"Knight! Ready to charge!" Sir Frank took the lance from the guard on the side and shook his hand and shouted loudly.

For Sir Frank's weird voice~lightnovelpub.net~, these knights had already taken offense. They raised their lances one after another, and began to assemble with the sergeants around them.

The cavalry strength of the two sides is still the same. Although there are more knights on the side of the rebels, in addition to the knights of the earl, there are a large number of knights and knights under the vassals of the Crick Army.

More than one hundred and fifty knights were assembled, fifty more than the one hundred knights who defeated the rebels, but Sir Frank did not give an order to charge immediately, and seemed to be waiting for something.

"Knights, prepare to charge!" Earl Weasley gave the order immediately after seeing that there were densely packed knights under Sir Land's triangle.

The soldiers in front were struggling hard. The Crick Army desperately greeted the enemy with the weapons in their hands, and the battle was extremely cruel.

In just ten minutes, the phalanx was scattered into a line, and most of the soldiers on both sides were killed together. After that, a small group of troops behind the rebels did not fight against the Crick Army.

Suddenly, Earl Weasley noticed some noise in his rear, and when he looked back, his pupils suddenly shrank.
