"Retreat! Retreat!"

The front of Winster’s army became fragmented under the charge of the rebel cavalry, but it still relied on the belief set in their hearts by the system to resist stubbornly, counterattacking the enemy cavalry with any weapon in their hands, and the Nordic swordsmen behind them He also joined the battlefield at the right time and surrounded the rebel cavalry who had rushed into the sword and spear militia line. One after another, the cavalry was pulled off the horse, and then several sharp swords were pierced into the body, and they were stabbed into a sieve.

Seeing more and more enemies around, the commander of the rebel cavalry can only scream and order his subordinates to retreat. However, after the cavalry who are trapped in the crowd lose their mobility, they are like fish on the chopping board. At the mercy of others, they were besieged to death one after another. Although the rebel cavalry finally rushed out, they had already suffered heavy losses.

The sacrifices of these cavalrymen were not in vain. The sword and spear militia also suffered heavy losses. Many companies had casualties as high as 50%. Some of them were killed under the arrow rain before the charge, and the rest were killed. Before the enemy’s iron hoof—this was unexpected by Richard. He missed the ability of the enemy cavalry to shoot arrows, so let the militia with swords and spears without shields in the forefront, which led to such tragic casualties. .

Regrettably, Richard had to retreat the Chinese army’s heavy-loss sword and spear militia, and at the same time let the Nordic swordsmen replace them, and redeploy before the arrival of the enemy infantry. Fortunately, the rebel cavalry concentrated their forces on the Chinese army, so only A brigade deployed by the Chinese army suffered heavy losses, otherwise Richard could only choose to retreat temporarily.

While the Nordic Swordsmen and the Sword and Spear Militia were rotating, Richard looked at the cavalry who had not yet been dispatched behind him. The only ones in his hand that could turn the tide of the battle were this group of chain cavalry and a group of imperial knights. The timing of the battlefield is well grasped, then the victory of this war will completely belong to him, even if so many soldiers have been killed.

However, the enemy cavalry did not withdraw from the battlefield to repair as he thought. Instead, they stopped at a distance and re-listed the offensive formation. Richard immediately became angry when he saw it and ordered his crossbow cavalry to chase out and attack the enemy. The cavalry fired, and the crossbow cavalry who suddenly rushed out caught the rebel cavalry off guard. They hurriedly retreated and led the crossbow cavalry away to the outskirts of the battlefield. The two sides shot at each other while pursuing, causing casualties to each other, and they soon moved away from the infantry battlefield.

At the same time, the enemy infantry has entered the range of civilian archers. With the roar of the officers, these experienced archers calmly set up bows and draw arrows, pulling the bowstrings away from the full moon, waiting for the officer’s order. You can make a volley.

"Let's release the arrow!"

As soon as the officer’s voice fell, a round of black and crushing arrows rose into the air from behind Winster’s army and flew into the air, drawing a graceful arc in mid-air, almost covering the sky, and then falling into the advancing team. For the rebel army, this round of arrows was just ordinary arrows, not gunpowder arrows with gunpowder, and in fact, Richard did not carry many gunpowder weapons on this expedition.

Whoosh whoosh——

The black arrows rained down and hit the shields held high by the rebel infantry. These shields of various shapes did not play much role, because in addition to the regular shields, most of the homes were directly removed. The big shield and the simple wooden shield. Arrows falling from the sky can easily penetrate the wooden shield and shoot down the soldiers underneath. After a round of arrows, many people fell in the rebel army.

What surprised these rebels was that the Winster’s attack was not aimed at the light infantry that rushed forward without armor and shields—the light infantry composed of women and children had almost no losses, although they They screamed because of the rain of arrows that obscure the sky, but they were all safe and sound. This is not the Winster sympathy overflowing, letting these women and children go, just not wanting to waste arrows on them.

What's more, they can't create much threat.

"Blow the offensive horn and prepare to attack." Looking at the large number of fallen rebels, Richard said to the messenger behind him. The latter was taken aback, but quickly reacted, raising the horn in his hand and placing it in his mouth. On the side, puffed his cheeks and blew up,

As a melodious horn sounded from behind, the officers on the front line were astonished and turned their heads to look back. Just as they looked back, Richard's king flag also moved forward slowly, and they instantly understood that it was. What do you mean, he quickly turned his head back and shouted loudly: "Go ahead! Ready to meet the enemy!"

"Go forward! Ready to meet the enemy!!!"

The shouts of the officers kept coming and going on the whole front. After their words fell, the soldiers stepped forward together with a loud shout. They looked at the same advancing enemy, and their hearts were full of pre-war tension.

"Sir Frank, when the horn is sounded again, you will lead your heavy cavalry to attack the enemy's flank, and cooperate with the infantry to defeat the enemy, just like the battle we have experienced together before!" The army marched forward. At the same time, Richard also told his trusted lieutenant Frank that this experienced veteran knight had already understood Richard’s tactics. He nodded after hearing this, patted his chest, and said: "Your Majesty, please do not hesitate Rest assured, the imperial cavalry will not let you down."

Frank left immediately~lightnovelpub.net~ Richard looked at the new lieutenants around again, and said in a deep voice: "I will take the lead in the charge, are you willing to fight with me?"

"Yes, it is an honor for me to be able to fight with your Majesty." Several lieutenants said together.

"Very good." Richard nodded. He took off the protective cover from the helmet, then clamped the horse belly with his legs, raised the saber, and shouted: "The soldiers of the empire, charge with me, for the Lord and the Virgin , For the glory of Germany!"

When the words fell, he rode out, and the general guard hurriedly followed behind him. The infantry in front of him quickly gave up a path for Richard to charge. After seeing Richard rushing out, the soldiers of the army would be encouraged , Also roared to charge the enemy, whether it was the most flexible Nordic swordsman and a sergeant or the sword spear militia armed with two-handed swords and spears, they all followed the steps of the generals and guards.

The sudden charge of Winster's army surprised the rebels, but Prince Jairo quickly reacted. He also drew his saber from his waist and roared: "Warriors of Lasik, charge for freedom and independence. !"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately followed his horse and rushed out, and his nobles all rode their horses and their guards to charge. The two armies shouted loudly and looked down from a high altitude, as if two floods were about to come. It hits head-on, bursting out with earth-shaking power.
