Rise In Calradia

Chapter 233: : Fight the Nords again

"Line up and set up a shield!"

The horse galloped past the mercenary queue, leaving behind the eager cry of the herald. Under the banner of Peony, Feng Byron's troops have arrived at the forefront of the army, arranged neatly according to his orders, and raised their shields high.

Looking back, it was the black lion banner of Swadia. The army under the banner was so large that it could hardly see the border. But at this moment, they were watching from afar, outside the attack range of the Nord Archers, just like watching the lively citizens, they really couldn't provide people with a sense of security.

And from the gap between the shields, the mercenaries of the Peony Mission and Byron's conscripts could clearly see the arrogant Nord army a hundred meters away. Thousands of them, excellent armors and sharp weapons, the chain armor under the skin can reflect light even in such bad weather now, the warriors under the goggles are hideous, holding axe, as terrifying as the demon in the painting. people. The most desperate thing is that not far behind this Nord force, there is a huge Nord camp, and countless Nord fighters lined up in front of the camp!

The peony mercenaries panted heavily, and the enlisted soldiers trembled uncontrollably. Several flashes of lightning flashed through the gloomy clouds, but before the arrival of thunder and rain, a dense rain of arrows hit the sky. The soldiers hurriedly shrank their bodies and hid behind the zither-shaped shields and broad shields. Hearing the sound of bows and arrows hitting the shields like hail, their teeth clenched together.

"Don't be afraid, these arrows can't hurt us!"

Kenrad, dressed in plate armor and a giant helmet, stood at the forefront of the team with a shield, letting those bows and arrows fall on the shield and himself, and then flew to the side.

"Keep in line, take advantage of their bows and arrows, and move forward quickly!"

When the arrow rain passed, Kenra waved the scimitar in his hand, led the most elite group of infantry forward, and quickly advanced a few steps, then immediately raised his shield to resist the next arrow rain. These heavy infantry are well-armed and heavily armored, and the damage caused to them by bows and arrows is basically negligible.

The actions of Kenrad and others boosted the morale of the team behind him. The troops that were hiding behind the shield began to follow in his footsteps. The recruits cautiously poked their heads out and found that the seemingly terrifying rain of arrows was not what they thought. Horror, he mustered up his courage and bit his head and followed Ken to make them move forward.

Facts have proved that the Nord archers are known for being cheap and easy to train, just like the rumors. Archery is not superb. Rather than using bows and arrows, these brave warriors are more suitable for raising an axe to fight each other. In several famous battles of the Nords, their archers killed no more people in close combat than those killed by bows and arrows. few. It is for this reason that, under the coverage of many bows and arrows, the Byron’s troops, except for a few unprotected conscripts, suffered no other damage except for the arrows during their advancement, and the morale of the troops was not affected. Influence, this is certainly not the effect that Nordjars hoped for.

"Bowmen, fight back!"

When the distance between the troops of both sides advanced to less than 50 meters, Kenrad gave orders to the crossbowmen in the troops. At this distance, the arrows of Byron's Rodok crossbowmen and mercenary crossbowmen were enough to shoot through the chain mail of the Nord infantry.

After receiving the order, the crossbowmen immediately raised their shields and rushed to the forefront of the team, and then quickly took out the stringed crossbow arrows and shot an arrow at the opposite Nord troops. No matter how effective they were, they returned to the queue and hid behind the shield infantry. Wind up the crossbow arrow. There were even some Rodok crossbowmen who directly turned their back shields towards each other, and then installed their crossbow arrows in place, leaving the Nords’ bows and arrows to fall on their back shields.

The number of Peony Mercenaries' crossbowmen is no more than a hundred, and the number is only one third of the opponent's, but in terms of shooting effect, they are not inferior to the opponent. After a round of shooting, more than a dozen people fell in the Nord archer queue. Even the light infantry in the shield wall behind them accidentally hit the arrow and was dragged behind by their comrades.

"attack!"

Almost at the same time, the shouts of officers from both sides were heard, and the two forces formed a shield wall, steadily advancing towards each other. And the archers of both sides continued to shoot arrows at the other side in the process, and the infantry units of both sides collided together under the cover of the rain of arrows.

The javelin flew horizontally, flail flailed, and the mace smashed the flesh and blood. The two troops threw out all the throwing weapons at the moment of meeting the enemy. The face under the helmet was shattered.

However, in infantry combat, the Nords still maintained their previous advantages. In less than a minute, hundreds of Nord’s skilled light infantry and light infantry have already swung their combat axe into the array of Peony mercenaries. Looking down from a height, they can clearly see the original worship. The square formation formed by Lun's troops sank several pieces, like a bite of bread.

At this time, the Rhodok infantry phalanx showed its value. In the face of such a fierce enemy, the phalanx of spears formed by these southern spearmen and halberds directly restrained the Nord infantry’s charge. The light infantry whose weapon length is inferior is often not yet available. When he rushed to the front of the thick broad shield, he was chopped over by the halberd and pierced through his legs by the spear. After paying a lot of loss, he still couldn't break through the spiked "iron barrel".

In contrast, the mercenary infantry is a little strenuous. They are better equipped, well-trained, and their individual combat effectiveness is not inferior to the regular army of the same level. However, they still face the closely coordinated Nord Shield Wall. Suffered a lot. Although he quickly stabilized his position, he could only be in a defensive position to resist the opponent's impact and compete with the opponent. Coupled with the muddy ground caused by rain, the soldiers could not stand firm, and people kept falling. The blood and mud mixed together, messing up the entire battlefield.

Byron saw that the troops on both sides had been entangled~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After observing the situation in the surrounding area, he raised the flag to send a signal to Fatis. The brave knight led more than 200 heavy cavalry at this time, waiting for Byron's order behind the army. The cavalry lined up tightly in two rows, holding aloft the lances wrapped around the triangular flag, ready to launch the "wall offensive" that Byron asked them to train.

Byron waved the red flag in his hand, and the 200 combat horses under the control of their respective riders took steps, and began to advance towards the flank of Nord’s forces that were already in a tangled distance in the distance, accelerate, and then raise the speed to lead the riders to charge. . In the previous actual combat, Byron’s enemies have proved how powerful this high-damage tactic is. The neat cavalry queue destroys their queue like a hammer rushing through the city gate, and crushes their bodies. past.

"Still nothing happened."

Byron looked back at the Swadia main force that was completely motionless, frowned, and lowered the banner that was originally commanding another cavalry. He has invested half of his troops to test the Nord's army in this battle that is completely inconvenient. He can no longer take the other half of the troops.
