Rise In Calradia

"Infantry advance! Crossbowmen advance!"

The flag shook, the horn was blown rhythmically, the halberd and crossbowmen in front of the team began to advance, and the troops on the two wings also began to advance to the designated position.

On the other side, Rodok's phalanx was also fully deployed, and the crossbowmen went to the front of the troops to wind up the crossbow arrows. Behind them, Rodok's spearman was using a hammer to smash the stake into the ground diagonally to prevent the cavalry from charging.

The remaining cavalry of the Rodok army was also gathered by Count Matt Ass and evacuated from the frontal battlefield. Byron did not know where they were mobilized, but the purpose was nothing more than to launch a surprise attack or to prevent a surprise attack.

On the frontal battlefield, Byron threw a logging team and half of the mercenary infantry, advancing with the crossbowmen. However, because mercenary halberds almost don't hold shields, the most stressed are the Rhodok spearmen who set foot on the battlefield for the first time, and the Swadia light infantry and mercenaries holding the kite-shaped shield.

Those Rhodok spearmen who only enlisted in the army last month restrained their fears as much as possible, holding their shields high, and advancing slowly under the urging of the officers behind them. The crossbowmen and mercenary halberds standing behind them are more relaxed. They are equally afraid of death, but after so many battles, they have a little confidence in themselves and feel that they can live to the end of the battle.

The distance between the two sides is more than 2oo meters, which is not easy to reach even with a large stone thrower, so all the troops on Byron's side are advancing, only the carriage responsible for carrying supplies stays in place.

Suno's main force went to attack the right flank of the Rhodok army. They didn't trust Byron very much, so they gathered their troops together so as not to be used as cannon fodder by Byron. And Fatis took Byron's main force to the left flank of Rodok, they would attack, and Rolf could take this opportunity to take the cavalry unit back to the back of Rodok's army.

Byron's troops are not enough to support multi-line combat, so the action must be fast, to quickly destroy the morale of the militiamen brought by Earl Matt Asth, and let the defeated army smash their formation.

Byron's troops kept advancing. When the distance between the frontal troops on both sides was close to 1oo meters, Rodok's crossbowmen came to the front and started a wave of shooting. The shots are scattered, and the arrows are still wooden. It can be seen that this is just a test.

This tentative attack was carried out only once. When Byron and the others entered the distance where the crossbowmen could aim at the target, they shot genuine iron crossbow arrows. The Rodok crossbowmen were divided into five rows and shot in rotation, constantly attacking the advancing infantry phalanx.

Facing the arrow rain, the Rhodok Spearmen who had been called by Byron almost stopped. Although they were holding broad shields, their steps were uneven, so there were a lot of casualties in the arrow rain.

However, this will not have much impact on the morale of Byron's troops, because these spearmen themselves all understand that they are nothing more than miscellaneous soldiers that consume the opponent's forces, and consuming the opponent's arrows is originally one of their tasks. .

The engineer of the Peony Mercenary has also pushed the catapult and ballista to the appropriate position at this time, the crossbow string is tightened, the hemp rope is dragged, and the heavy stones follow the inertia as the wooden pole rises quickly. Flew to the Rhodok infantry group in the distance.

Seeing the growing heavy stones in their field of vision, the Rhodok crossbowmen who had originally raised their crossbow arrows to shoot were so scared that they retreated quickly. As soon as they retreated to the side of the spearmen behind them, a few stones had already hit the ground they had stood on before, and a shallow hole was smashed into the ground, and the broken rocks were flying everywhere.

However, more stones still flew into the back row of the spearmen. Because the crossbowmen's hurried retreat made them too late to escape, they could only hold up their shields to protect themselves, and then watched the stones hit them. Break your own broad shield and feel the pain of broken tendons.

The heavy crossbow arrows that were ignited at the front also came out like a thunder, penetrating wooden shields and cotton armor and chain mail in this chaos, inserting those heavy spearmen on the ground, or continuously penetrating along the inertia. The bodies of many people caused fatal injuries to them.

Rhodok’s ballistas responded accordingly, using heavy crossbow arrows with the thickness of their arms to shoot the soldiers of the lumbering team and the mercenaries of the Peony regiment who were still advancing, and occasionally fired at the opponent’s ballistas and engineers. Take a few arrows. However, their attack did not last long before they were hit by the Peony Mercenary Catapult, and they were forced to withdraw to the rear of the troops, losing their ability to strike against the Peony Mercenary's heavy weapons.

The distance between the two forces was getting shorter and shorter, and the crossbowmen on the side of the Peony Mercenary also stood in front of the team and fired several rounds at the other side. Because the distance between the two sides is less than 3o meters at this time, the accuracy of these crossbow arrows is very high, and the power is also very amazing. The Rodok soldier in the front row fell halfway, and multiple gaps appeared in the phalanx.

However, what surprised the Rodok officers who were in charge of the command was that the opponent did not take advantage of this opportunity to attack, but stopped at a position more than ten meters away.

"Are they sorting the formation?"

The officers couldn't help but think so.

However, the sound of horses hoofs and tall cavalry figures quickly resolved their doubts. The logging team and the peony mercenaries turned their bodies sideways and gave way to four passages, while the four teams of heavy cavalry riding unarmored horses They lined up from these passages, holding javelins and some terracotta or wooden jars in their hands.

"Line up! Line up! Line up behind the rejection!"

"Raise the spear! Raise all the spears and stop the cavalry!"

Seeing the cavalry that were approaching, Officer Rodok immediately realized what would happen if the current chaotic formation was impacted by the cavalry, and hurriedly ordered the troops to quickly set up their spears and line up. However, affected by the previous Swadia heavy cavalry charge, they ignored the weapon styles of the opposing cavalry and the strength of these cavalry is not enough to form enough impact at this distance. This is also a kind of thinking. Misleading.

Count Matt Ass, who was commanding the battle behind the troops, observed this, but there was not enough time for him to give orders.

The cavalry had rushed to the Rhodok long spear phalanx and threw out the tauren that had ignited the gunpowder, and then immediately turned their heads to the sides of the phalanx~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The power of gunpowder weapons was once again demonstrated. These oversized Tao Lei raised a black mist on the shield wall, and the fragments and iron fragments mixed with gunpowder flew out, cutting the cheeks and exposed skin of the Rhodok soldiers, and stuck between the muscles. .

The javelins of the cavalry also came in large numbers, suppressing the spearmen even more powerfully.

The impact and fragments caused many spearmen to leave their original positions, causing the phalanx to loosen again. The soldiers of the logging team took advantage of this opportunity to raise their halberds and rushed past those obstacles. The cavalry rejected the horse and fought against the spearman's phalanx.

The previous cavalry stopped on both sides of their troops after the throw was completed. The heavily armored cavalry dismounted one after another, took up two-handed swords and extended warhammers, and gave the horses to the attendants to take care of them, forming a walking group. The heavy cavalry unit attacked towards the opposite phalanx.
