Black Iron Crown

Chapter 674: Hoof roar

   There are many factors that determine the outcome of the war. Although the left-wing army in the north appears to be a bit uneven as a whole, they still have a lot of advantages.

   First of all, their morale is high. Whether it is the lords or the soldiers at the bottom, they are full of confidence in this war.

   Although it is inevitable that some recruits will be nervous, everyone is fully prepared.

Compared with this point, the Right-wing Army of the Bukerdern Kingdom, which has just been harassed by the light cavalry, is not as good as the Northern Army. There has been a slight internal chaos, so first of all, the morale of the Northern Army is not as good as that of the Northern Army. Border army.

   In addition, the vassals of Rainer also bought a certain number of recurve bows from Rainer Hungry. Although the number of archers is not large, the duty of this unit is to projectile the enemy infantry.

  Following the attack of the arrows, before the enemy army arrived in front of the left-wing army in the north, they fell three to four hundred people scattered.

   And their archers only caused minimal casualties to the Northern Army, and only seven or eight people fell to the ground.

The power of the recurve bow is enough to make the arrow penetrate the enemy's iron armor within 80 meters, but the opponent's bow and arrow can't do this. The arrow falls on the soldiers or gets stuck in the gap of the iron armor. Being bounced away, only a few hapless guys lost their fighting ability.

   After the two sides have met in short-term combat, the advantages and disadvantages will become more obvious.

The soldiers of the Northern Army, whose average height is half a head taller than that of the Kingdom of Bukerdern, have a great advantage. The tall men are stronger than the short men in absolute strength. The long swords and spears in their hands are sent in a strong force. Into the weak point of the opponent's iron armor.

  Of course, in more cases, the long sword cannot penetrate the iron armor, and it takes several attacks to be put to death.

  In the first round of confrontation, the Northern Army exchanged more than 600 casualties for the loss of more than 600 enemy troops at the cost of more than 200 casualties. This triple damage ratio made Reiner smile in an instant.

   But King Sartley's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, his defeat in the first battle made his face a little bit awkward, and he also had a little worry in his heart.

   But then, he comforted himself that his left-wing army did not suffer a sneak attack, and there will be good results.

   Of course, King Sartley is most confident of his Chinese army. He has deployed all his elites in the Chinese army, including eight hundred heavy armored warriors who are also waiting at the forefront of the formation.

In addition, the infantry of the Karda Sultanate is also arranged on the right hand side of his own army. These infantry are also wearing iron armor, carrying a scimitar or a heavy iron rod similar to a warhammer, and they look equally impressive. .

   King Sartley didn't think that under such circumstances, his Chinese army was not yet an opponent of the enemy.

   Then, Rainer's right flank collided with the enemy's left flank.

   This time, the two sides seem to be barely evenly matched.

   At least in the first confrontation, the army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern did not show any obvious decline.

   Rainer’s right wing lost more than 200 people, while the enemy's loss was more than 300 people and less than 400 people. It seems that the casualty ratio is not very exaggerated.

However, Linus did not worry about his right wing, because these vassals of his own still have this group of elite knights who have experienced many battles. When these tank-like killing machines arrive on the battlefield, what is waiting for the enemy is one. Massacre.

  Rainer didn't think the enemy's so-called heavy infantry, called samurai, could be compared with knights.

   What's more, the six thousand army is still watching the enemy on the flanks, and only waiting for Rainer to give an order, they can quickly launch an attack on the enemy.

   is approaching, getting closer and closer. Reiner is in the main line of the Chinese army, and the Chinese army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern will soon meet his main line.

  Rainer did not rush about this, and said to a herald next to him: "Go and order the local guards and garrisons to attack the enemy's right flank!"

  Rainer's voice was very indifferent, but the command from his mouth made the blood on the battlefield thicker.

   The ruling officer rode on a fast horse and took the flag and ran wildly into the distance.

   At this time, the Chinese Army's main formation has already begun their attack.

  Earl Leyland, as the commander of the infantry, has the right to command all infantry in the Chinese army at this time.

   "The crossbowman shoots!"

   Amidst his roar, the 400 Winter crossbowmen under Rainer took the lead to launch a projectile at the enemy.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was about 350 meters. The effective range of the steel crossbow used by Winterer crossbowmen was 400 meters, but considering that the enemy was wearing iron armor, Earl Leyland moved it closer. .

   Four hundred crossbow bolts containing immense power were ejected by the steel crossbow arms, drawing an insignificant and graceful arc in the air, accompanied by a sharp sound, and fell into the enemy's array.

   was followed by a scream, and more than a hundred people fell to the ground and lost the ability to fight.

   For the military formation of this era, for combat effectiveness, the closer the formation, the stronger, so these soldiers can't wait to grow together.

   Under such a crowded formation, the crossbowmen hardly need to aim and shoot directly at the opponent's array.

   However, the iron armor still has an effect after all. The distance of 350 meters makes the strength of the crossbow arrow so small that some crossbow arrow does not penetrate the enemy's iron armor.

   At the same time, the town guards who received the order are slowly approaching the enemy's left flank according to Rainer's request.

  Rainer prepared to use the enemy's left wing as a breakthrough, and then let his right wing outflank the enemy from the side.

   Although the combat effectiveness of the town guards is a bit unsatisfactory, they only need to play sideways to strike the morale of the enemy. If they are placed on the right wing~lightnovelpub.net~, they may not be able to withstand the enemy's blow.

King Sartley watched the guards move, and he was already a little panicked. He hurriedly said to General Calda beside him: "Your Excellency, I hope you will take all your cavalry with you as soon as possible to the enemy. The army launched a raid from the side and tried to defeat them as much as possible, and don't let them approach our left wing!"

   The interpreter hurriedly conveyed the words of King Sartri to the general.

   "Remember, you must be fast, and defeat the enemy cavalry before they can react!" King Satli said, and the generals of the Kaldas also rode their high war horses to his men.

   More than one hundred "cleaners", two hundred heavy cavalry, and four hundred light cavalry just waited for his orders.

   "The whole team! Charge with me!" General Calda yelled, and the rumble of horseshoes instantly resounded across the battlefield.

  Rainer noticed the enemy's movements, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His heavy cavalry had been waiting for a long time!

   Then, Reiner said to the herald: "Send my order to Earl Varas, and let him take all the heavy cavalry buddies and the cavalry to fight! I want to keep them all!"

  Rainer is full of confidence in his cavalry. He doesn't think any cavalry in this world can defeat the Scarlet Gryphon Knights with the same number.
