Black Iron Crown

Chapter 476: Left wing collapse

The combat abilities of these knights are extremely brave. It can be said that the knights in the northern region have their own martial arts.

Almost no one would slack off their training, which is completely different from those knights in the south who occasionally do business or aim to be the lover of a noblewoman as their lifelong struggle.

Perhaps the southerners will sum up the northern knights as barbarians, but they will always abide by the principles and duties of knights.

Knights, this is synonymous with killing machines on the battlefield. When they first appeared, they were the only professional soldiers on the battlefield. Now, professional soldiers are slowly beginning to appear, but their status in the north is still unaffected.

In the South, even anyone can call themselves a knight. Many people who really hold the title of knight have given up the martial arts that they depend on for survival, which makes their status plummet.

The ability of the Northern Knights to maintain their lofty status despite the emergence and rise of the regular professional army is directly proportional to their steadily improving martial arts and the role they played on the battlefield.

The sound of horseshoes is deafening. Although the upstarts' armies are not as weak as the south, they are still slightly different from the true northernmost knights in the region where the Redka Empire started.

And because it was a sudden attack, these soldiers completely lost their feet.

Although the knights hadn't rushed in front of them, they had already begun to look for a safe place like cowardly groundhogs.

"No fleeing! Everyone lined up!" The officers shouted loudly. Under such circumstances, if the lineup is successful, there will be a glimmer of life, but if you continue to flee like this, the only fate will be Was ruthlessly annihilated.

It is worthy of the soldiers who have fought. Although most people are panicked, some people still start to move closer to their commanders.

It's a pity that the hot spots that panic and flee still occupies the majority.

At the same time, the knights were getting closer and closer to them, and rushed in front of them in an instant.

The huge bodies of the knights covering the sky appeared directly in front of these soldiers, and they rode through their bodies cleanly and neatly.

Slashed a sharp long sword across his throat and cut off his arm.

The thin array assembled hastily was unable to withstand the impact of a full 200 knights, just like a sand dune facing a flood, there was no room for resistance at all, and it was completely washed away.

Soldiers who have lost their formation can only be slaughtered, just like a group of tigers entering a herd of cattle and sheep.

"My Lord Earl, we have an army attacked by enemy knights!" A messenger riding a fast horse rushed to Count Redmara and said hastily.

"How many enemies are there?" Count Redmara asked hurriedly.

He didn't expect the enemy to have such courage to attack himself when Rainer left the northern border.

Although he knew that Rainer had implemented the militia system in the northern territory before, they had become accustomed to using regular troops to fight in the last few wars, and the militias were not regarded by them at all.

They thought that the militia system implemented by Reiner was similar to that of serf conscription.

"Two hundred people! They have two hundred knights!" said the messenger.

"Two hundred people..." Count Redmara turned around and shouted to the heavy cavalry behind him: "Heavy cavalry get ready! Come with me!"

After a while, the heavy cavalry mounted one after another and gathered behind Count Redmara.

However, although they reacted quickly, the marching team of more than 1,000 people had been beaten and fled, and the knights were chasing and killing them.

"Retreat! We should retreat! Ten minutes is enough time for the enemy to react! Go!" the leading knight shouted loudly.

The knights who were fighting with the enemy immediately moved in his direction.

However, there are still a group of red-eyed knights still chasing and killing the enemy soldiers reluctantly. The blood seems to inspire the animality hidden in their bodies.

This is the norm for the knights in the north. In the past hundreds of years, the knights have often disobeyed orders in pursuit of glory. I don't know how many battles have been defeated because of this.

Sometimes even when the knights were at a disadvantage in the war, they fought to fight for the place behind the palace, causing the entire army to be wiped out.

Now, these knights really revealed their nature again, and battlefield disobedience has almost become their tradition.

The leading knights had to ride their horses and ran to them directly to give orders. Listening to the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer, these knights gradually regained their sobriety.

Hastily followed behind the large forces to withdraw to Angron Fort.

When Count Redmara arrived here with the royal heavy cavalry, he only saw a messy battlefield and corpses all over the floor. As for the enemy, he didn't even go to see one of them.

"Damn it!" Count Redmara angrily threw the whip in his hand to the ground, almost furious.

After cleaning up the battlefield, they finally calculated the number of injuries.

Four hundred people were killed and one hundred wounded. The remaining five hundred people were all defeated soldiers. This army has almost been defeated.

I have not seen the enemy yet, and I have lost more than 500 people. This made the lords of the upstart coalition very angry and clamored to send all the royal lords to the gallows.

On the southern battlefield, the form has become very critical, and the left wing composed of the Count Crick’s army and a small number of vassals of Rainer is already incapable of facing the enemy's offensive.

Although wearing iron armor, armor is not omnipotent. There will always be some blind spots. Under the attack of four times their own strength, they will be more and more difficult to resist.

More and more soldiers under the lord's command were wiped out, and their losses had exceeded 50%.

If it is normal, if the casualties of an army exceed 30-40%, it will probably collapse. Now they are facing the danger of the entire army being destroyed. No one backs down. They want to return to the north alive and return to themselves alive. Hometown.

The same is true of the soldiers under Earl Creek. Their desire to survive overwhelmed all their fears.

However, no matter how they resisted, the weakness of their forces cannot be made up. The enemies around them are getting more and more right, and their comrades are getting fewer and fewer.

Looking at the left wing facing the crisis, Rainer gritted his teeth and said to the messenger beside him: "Order Baron Tirihan to lead all the light cavalry to charge the enemy!"

In any case ~lightnovelpub.net~ the left wing can never be destroyed. If your left wing is destroyed, then the enemy's right wing can assist the enemy's Chinese army and copy Lena's right wing from the side, which leads to a series of chain reactions. .

After receiving Lena's order, the messenger dared not delay, and hurriedly whipped the horse under the hip with his whip, and hurried to the place where the hussars were.

As time passed, the messenger was getting closer and closer to the light cavalry, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers on the left.

Finally, the first soldier collapsed.

He threw down the weapon in his hand and cried and wanted to escape from here. His collapse made the back of his comrades-in-arms a neutral position, and then a spear was inserted into the back of another soldier.

It could be seen from his incredulous eyes that he didn't understand why a spear suddenly appeared on his back.

A chain reaction occurred, and more and more soldiers collapsed and fled.

The left wing... all destroyed!
