Rise In Calradia

The pirates' throwing axe and javelin rained down, and Byron saw the situation and immediately led the cavalry to turn the horse's head and escape into the shield wall. Those throwing weapons were blocked by those wide and thick round shields. Those things are not too powerful. Throw them over such a long distance without mentioning how bad they are. Even if they hit Byron, they won't be able to penetrate his strong plate armor. But the Thunder couldn't bear this kind of damage, and Byron didn't want to catch his love horse because of recklessness.

There was a jingle, and the two rounds of the pirate's throws failed to cause effective damage. Instead, Egilsson used the throwing axe they threw in the gap to chop off a man's cheek. The pirate’s throwing axe javelin is actually not used to kill (but the regular Nord’s throwing axe is really deadly, Byron learned), the flying axe is for those merchants and For civilians, the level of fear is far greater than that of crossbows. Pirates generally use javelins and throwing axes to frighten each other, disrupt their formation, and then quickly start hand-to-hand combat.

This tactic has been tried and tested repeatedly against foreign caravans and guards, but it is of little significance in the face of Nord forces with very similar tactics. The compact shield wall blocked the throwing axe and the javelin, and even fought back with the javelin and the crossbow. After a round of throwing by the troops on both sides, the casualties of the troops were not large, but in the formation, the pirates were a little unable to stand. Stop.

Upon seeing this situation, the leader of the pirates quickly ordered to stop throwing, preparing for their own troops to also form a shield wall to collide with each other, so that their numerical advantage can give them the upper hand. But Ekirsson also guessed their intentions with a wealth of experience. With a loud shout, the shield wall was separated immediately, and the infantry turned from defense to offensive. They took out the javelin from the javelin bag and threw it while walking. The mercenary sentry of the crossbow took the opportunity to fire a salvo.

The pirates were gathering at the order of their leader, but before they got together, they were suppressed by this round of shooting. Several slow responders were directly injured and fell to the ground, and many stopped their actions and formed a small shield wall with people around them, instead of converging with the large forces with the javelin throwing that is not dense. From this alone, it can be seen that they are not a team, but a combination of multiple small-scale pirate forces, and there is no tacit understanding between them.

As a result, the original large shield formations became many small-scale shield formations, and the number advantage was reduced a lot. Egilsson stared at the pirate force nearest to them and rushed forward. The royal guard’s large shield immediately knocked down a pirate, followed by a stack of more than a dozen shields, and the two sides faced each other. The shield wall of the pirate force with fewer than ten people was directly knocked open, spears pierced one after another, assassinating half of the pirates, and the remaining half fled in embarrassment.

Byron also seized the opportunity to rush up with the other two. He naturally did not dare to face the shield wall, but under the deterrence of riding a lance, a shield wall array that had planned to approach the large army immediately stopped and pointed the spear at it. They, this is the result that Byron wanted, feigning attacks to attract the attention of the small-scale pirates, and to buy Egilsson and the others time to defeat the opposing force.

Two sturdy shield wall phalanxes collided together in the roar of the Nordic roar. The two sides were equal in number, and the shields were stacked on the shields. Under the violent impact, no one could help each other. They kept trying to hook off the opponent’s shield with axe, or stab the enemy’s head with a spear. The battlefield immediately turned into a rivalry between two phalanxes. They can only conduct harassment wars around these two phalanxes.

But all the pirates' troops were also relieved at this time. Although they had conflicts with each other, they were reluctant to unite at this time. They all rushed to the two phalanx in the center of the battlefield. In the past, trying to surround Byron's infantry phalanx. Once they start to work together, even Byron has nothing to do.

Just when he didn't know what to do, a support army appeared in his sight.

Matilde held a shield in one hand and a spear with a battle flag in one hand, shouting the names of the northern gods, and led his ten northern soldiers into the battle. These warriors wore riveted chain armor with cloaks, helmets on their heads, axe in their hands, and shields in front of them. They rushed into the pirate force trying to encircle Egilsson with their axes waving. Below, there was a rain and mist intertwined with blood and iron rings.

Many pirates saw that the situation was not good and began to retreat, and the large force as their main force was also suppressed by Egilsson and the infantry around him. The combat power of the former royal guard was not in vain. Even if he was a little older, he still overturned the pirate leader's helmet with an axe in the collision of the shield wall, and made a cut in the opponent's face. The pirate leader was a little dizzy by the attack, and he retreated several steps, and the gap he exposed became a breakthrough for Egilsson. In a blink of an eye, he cut off the neck of another pirate and tore a hole in the shield wall.

In the shield wall competition, what we saw was that the unit tore the opponent's formation first. If the number of people is equal and the strength is equal, once the shield wall is broken, the outcome will be determined. The pirate leader led a small part of his troops and fled in embarrassment. The remaining pirates were either killed or taken prisoners. Byron defeated the pirates with less. Of course, if there is no Matilde and her northern fighters, then the victory or defeat may be another situation.

After the battle, Byron certainly dismounted to comfort the soldiers, and after verbal encouragement, let them go free to pick up the spoils. In this battle, only two people died on Byron's side, and the rest were slightly injured, so the morale of the troops was still high. Except for a few friends of the deceased, the rest of the people cheered to seize the spoils.

After that, it was Byron's gratitude to Matilde.

"You have been a great help. Without you, we might not be able to support it." Byron thanked her sincerely.

"I don’t want to sit back and watch, not to mention that they are probably coming for our employer. This is what I have to do. But I have to say that you are also brave warriors, no better than the warriors I have seen in the north. Bad." Matilde smiled slightly. After the battle, she had a better impression of Byron and his soldiers. As the saying goes, if the northerners do not brag about themselves after fighting with you, it means that you are fighting really well, and this is the situation.

"How is your place? Is your employer okay?" Byron asked.

"Don't worry, those pirates were killed by us without even touching the corners of his clothes. They are indeed divided into two ways from your side to attract our attention, but this kind of trick is useless to us, it seems weird. The **** of conspiracy is not on their side this time." Matilde raised his head and replied proudly.

In this regard, Byron and Egilsson both nodded their heads in agreement. In the previous battle, they had seen the toughness of those northern fighters, and Matild was proud to have such a group of fighters.

While the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, they also accepted to accompany Matilde to their location to see their results. This is a way for the northern soldiers to show off.

As Matilde said, there were more than 20 pirates' bodies beside their motorcade, and a group of captives tied to the carriage, but none of their own dead bodies. But such a time to celebrate ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The northern soldiers and the merchant's guards gathered together, and it was a bit quiet and scary.

Matilde frowned and walked quickly. Byron followed closely and passed through the crowd. He found that people's faces were ugly, and a well-dressed man was lying on the ground.

The man was lying on the ground, the back of his body was stained red with blood, and a blood-stained spear was thrown aside, beside the corpse of a pirate with a smiling face.

"What's going on?" Matilde asked in a deep voice.

"He had to get out of the wagon and see, there was a guy who pretended to be dead, and pricked his **** with contradiction..."

After a short silence, a northern soldier answered her with a weird expression.

The sad way of death would definitely cause a burst of laughter in peacetime, but at this time it was extremely sad. Matilde won gloriously in the battle, but once the employer dies, all the glory will dissipate.

They won the battle, but lost the result.
