Rise In Calradia

Chapter 377: Dune Battle (Middle)

"Swadian hussars, charge!"

In the center of the battlefield, Earl Crags put on his great helmet, and the knights behind him put on their helmets and raised their spears. Although the Swadian warhorses under their crotches were not adapted to the desert environment, the attendants provided them with the best care along the way, and the sufficient supplies provided by Byron also allowed the warhorses to enjoy enough forage and food. The wheat and the villages along the way also keep the horses from thirsting. These energetic war horses, coupled with the equally recharged riders, are no less effective than they were in the Su Nuo Plain.

Under the leadership of the lord, a cavalry officer who was also Fatis's cousin blew the horn, and the knights began to advance. The hooves of the horses stepped across the sand dunes and appeared before the Salander army. The soldiers of Sarande, who had not yet recovered from the chaos, immediately panicked, because as the cavalry archers who were constantly tilting and raining arrows receded, what appeared from behind the sand dunes gradually covered the entire sandy land from a small point. huge cavalry force.

Most of these cavalry are the Suno cavalry of Earl Crags, and a small part is the cavalry company under Byron's command. They are all wearing heavy armor, and their horses are tightly protected. It was as if a sharp pine forest of steel was floating above the heads of these cavalrymen.

Those slaves who were driven to the front and temporarily caught on the battlefield were immediately terrified by this terrible scene. This is not just a description, but there are really many tribal slaves who have never seen the world. Wet crotch. Many slaves began to think about escaping. Although they had never experienced battles before, they were not stupid. They knew what would happen to those knights' steel guns and sharp blades when they were regarded as attracting firepower. If it weren't for the chains and the Salander soldiers with whips and cutlasses, they would have disappeared.

Of course, not all slaves are like this. There are many trained slave soldiers in Salander. These people were slaves for various reasons. Some of them were even unlucky mercenaries or captured soldiers. They still maintained a good fighting capacity for freedom. Even at the forefront, they Still maintaining the same formation, looking forward to fighting in exchange for his freedom. Of course, the Salander soldiers behind them didn't trust them either. Except for those Mamluks who didn't redeem their freedom, other slave soldiers were as unreliable as mercenaries. A whip in hand would make them more useful than making them fight.

Nearly 100 knights from all over Swadia rushed to the forefront of the cavalry team. Under the banner with the black lion banner in the hands of Earl Crags, it became a knight "banner". The flag pointed to their charge Where to go. And behind them, followed by 600 Swadian cavalry in a wedge formation and more than 300 cavalry from different sources. The huge monster incarnated by this huge cavalry force has eaten countless people all the way. Dinars and food, now the beast will roar, destroying all enemies in its path with its solid body and sharp claws.

Under the trampling of thousands of cavalry, the sand and gravel trembled constantly, and the sand and dust flew like a storm. Under the dazzling sunlight, the flashing brilliance of steel weapons was so dazzling that the light infantry of Sarande shuddered.

But it was at this most dangerous moment that Ali took off the chain mask and rode a desert horse to the front of the team so that all the soldiers could see his face. And his Mamluks followed him loyally, ignoring the Swadian heavy cavalry that came like a wave, defending their commander.

"Brothers, the true God is watching us. These despicable pagans trampled our land, plundered our compatriots, and kidnapped our families. Today, they even humiliated our faith! They defiled this sacred ceremony, Let the true gods be ashamed with us. This shame must be washed away with their blood! Soldiers, are your beliefs still pious? Is your courage being dragged away by the mules of the Westerners? Do you want to die cowardly, and then you will die cowardly? Is the most shameful way to accept the scrutiny of the true God? Is it to fight desperately and go to heaven to enjoy eternal life? Or to fall into the abyss in humiliation? You choose yourself! Now, those who are still willing to fight, take up your weapons! Raise your Shield! Tighten your reins! Follow my footsteps, and fight to the death for the glory of the true God!"

The believers of Salander were immediately aroused by this speech, and the faith that had been wavering before suddenly became firmer. They clenched the weapons in their hands. Although the chaotic formation could not be restored for the time being, Ali had chosen another method to solve this problem. Salander's army began to advance, and the speed was getting faster and faster. When the army charged, it didn't matter if it was chaotic or not.

Of course, this does not mean that they can play a better role in the face of heavy cavalry.

Those slaves with chaotic composition did not play any role~lightnovelpub.net~ Swadia's iron hooves smashed their fragile fronts without bragging, destroying these in just a few tens of seconds The full will to fight of a slave. But it doesn't matter, because Salander doesn't care about these slaves at all, even if they are all trampled to death, as long as they can slow down the Swadian cavalry a little, that's enough.

So, after the slaves either broke up or were trampled to death by war horses, Ali faced Earl Crags, and the Mamluk cavalry in the south also encountered the most powerful Swadian knights in the west.

**Yes**, a mace against a two-handed hammer, Calradia's most powerful cavalry collides together, as long as there is a slight mistake, a cavalry will be hit by the ** and feel the huge impact As my armor penetrated into my body, I gradually understood how it feels to have broken bones and damaged internal organs, and then fell off my most trusted horse uncontrollably, savoring the pain of being dragged in the last few seconds of my life. Discomfort and seeing horseshoes or spears coming towards you...

The impact of the heavy cavalry was unstoppable, and the huge cavalry team could not be completely blocked by the Mamluks with only one-fifth of their number, so more heavy cavalry rushed into the surrounding Sarande infantry and light cavalry Among them, a large number of infantry were knocked over by war horses, and on the way of the involuntary charge, the Salanders who couldn't afford to lose fell to the ground, but no matter how many people fell in front, there were always those devout soldiers who filled up the rear. . The impact of the heavy cavalry became much slower, but Salander's army also suffered heavy losses.

"Okay, it's our turn."

Seeing all this in front of him, Byron on another sand dune in the distance was very satisfied. He raised his hand, and the remaining army behind him started to move and joined the battle.
