In the second round of cavalry assault, there were only more than a thousand people. Phoenix could not afford to organize too many cavalry. Side Star City was not an important town. Most of these soldiers had only undergone simple cavalry training. WwW. QuanBen-XiaoShuo. cO
The equipment of the Sixth Battalion obviously exceeded that of the enemy. After setting up the large heavy crossbows, the soldiers calmly watched the enemy getting closer and closer. When they were five hundred meters away, they rushed towards the two wings.
The soldiers guarding the car formation became calmer and calmer. The enemy's cavalry is of good quality, but if they cannot attack head-on and only use bows and crossbows to attack from the side, they should send light cavalry, which is faster. These cavalry in heavy armor attack with bows and arrows on both sides, and the speed is much slower.
The power of a war horse can last for up to an hour after the first burst. An inferior horse with poor pedigree cannot even last ten minutes. If a cavalry charge cannot break the enemy's formation, it will be considered a complete failure. The formation of the Sixth Battalion is very complete, with a frontal vehicle formation, a large shield on the side, and the envoys of the Holy Rock City behind.
The envoys of Holy Rock City ran to the back, also wanting to see the quality of Metatrin City's soldiers. If it didn't work out, they could use their powerful impact to regain their disadvantage. Unexpectedly, the enemy's attack did not shake the Sixth Battalion's formation at all. The Sixth Battalion's defense was like an iron barrel. The soldiers in the middle were in neat formation, sitting on makeshift shelves on the ground, ready to stand up at any time and "break out of the shield formation."
"This should be Salin's most elite unit, right?" Duke Balder looked at the battle calmly and said to himself. There are two magicians around him, and he will not take the initiative to ask, for fear of being refused to answer, which would be embarrassing.
Tiffany was obviously not that indifferent. She said: "It's pretty good, almost the same as Qin Yin's main force. In terms of equipment, it's better."
Tiffany was obviously talking about the three hundred alchemical crossbows that could shoot five hundred meters away. Such things were contraband in Qinyin.
"It's different, Master. Not to mention the battalion generals, Salin's banner commander has no respect for Viscount Pijak." Duke Balder observed carefully. He was also a man who practiced swordsmanship and had excellent eyesight.
"It's just a habit of the Fourth Dynasty. The royal family or the direct troops of the royal family have a higher status than the nobles." Archmage Tiffany said casually. Because the surname Metatrin did exist in the Fourth Dynasty, she didn't think much about it and naturally regarded Salin as a descendant of a certain royal family in the Fourth Dynasty.
"This is the most terrifying thing. Saleen only needs to build up the main army. The rest of the army is maintained by the nobles. The nobles dare not betray. Saleen can strengthen the military equipment without limit. Use These elite control nobles fight for him, and it is very easy for Metatrin City to raise a hundred thousand soldiers." Balder did not forget to remind him. "Your Majesty has his own plans, Balder, you are too involved." Tiffany replied coldly.
The cavalry of the Sixth Battalion was overwhelming and slammed into the front of the Phoenix Cavalry. The gap between the weapons of the two sides was immediately reflected. At close range, once there was no one in front of them, the crossbows under the cavalry of the Sixth Battalion were immediately launched. Ten All within one meter are indestructible. Except for the twenty soldiers riding skeleton money horses with huge scimitars, the rest of the cavalry all had cross lances.
When the cavalry is hedging, the spear is obviously more advantageous, but the spear is embedded in the enemy's heavy armor and it is easy to be unable to pull it out. Once this happened to the cavalrymen of the sixth battalion, they immediately abandoned their cross guns and drew out the long knives behind their saddles. After Phoenix's cavalry lost their spears, their weapons were heavy swords.
Swords clashed, both sides were wearing heavy armor, and coupled with the impact of the horses, the weapons flew around. Only a strong swordsman can hold the weapon.
Most of Phoenix's cavalrymen were shot off their horses by crossbows. On average, it took more than two cavalrymen to fight against one cavalryman from the Sixth Battalion. Their number was originally smaller than the cavalry of the Sixth Battalion. After the fierce collision, only about two hundred people from the Sixth Battalion were knocked off their horses. There were also some unlucky ones, but most of them were just injured.
The Phoenix cavalry had killed and wounded more than 500 people. Now, there were less than a thousand people left. Although they were heavy cavalry, the sixth battalion was the same.
The leading general Phoenix had no choice but to blow a sharp metal whistle and lead the cavalry south, trying to get rid of the cavalry of the Sixth Battalion.
The speed of both sides has slowed down, and even if their horses are not as good as those of the Sixth Battalion, they can temporarily throw off the cavalry of the Sixth Battalion.
The cavalry of the Sixth Battalion did not pursue, because a thousand cavalry appeared in the rear, but they were from the Royal Swordsman Battalion. Tiffany gave the order, and directly released two group buff magics with Stephanie. Under the light of the magic, the thousands of cavalry were shining with huge runes, and they rushed out at twice the speed of ordinary cavalry.
This kind of group magic is not sustainable. The problem is that the distance between the two sides is less than two miles and more than double the speed. The cavalry of the Royal Swordsman Battalion quickly approached and raised the crossbows in their hands.
This kind of crossbow fired with a mechanical spring is insufficient in power. The problem is that the crossbow arrows in the Royal Swordsman Battalion are all alchemy arrows, and their sharpness can make up for everything.
Behind the shield formation, the infantrymen of the Sixth Battalion took the opportunity to rush out of more than 500 people and dragged the injured cavalry back. Not counting this, another five hundred soldiers also walked out of the shield formation, came to the injured Phoenix Cavalry, pulled out their triangular swords, and stabbed into the weak spot of the wounded man's armor. Because Qin's armor protects the whole body, there are no gaps in the armor of the heavy cavalry. However, in order for the cavalry to fight flexibly, it is inevitable that some areas are weak. These weak points are made of more than two layers of metal sheets sandwiched with monster skins. However, the triangular sword is designed to break through heavy armor, and it is even easier on wounded people who have no resistance.
Originally, only one hundred of the Phoenix cavalry were killed on the spot, and the remaining four hundred or so were all injured and fell off their horses. If he was snatched back, he would not die under the magician's potion treatment.
The general of the sixth battalion sat firmly in the middle of the army and watched all this coldly. The enemy's infantry had already approached to a distance of ten miles. They dismounted and were gathering their equipment, ready to launch an attack. At this time, it was impossible for the Sixth Battalion to capture any prisoners.
In the last Qin invasion, the Phoenix army did not - most of the wounded were treated in this situation, but this time, Salin's army killed all the wounded on the spot.
When the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion did this, they had no psychological pressure, because if they didn't kill the enemy they encountered for the first time, they would keep fighting. As long as one finger of the Holy See's expeditionary force can still move, it is possible to trigger a crossbow and kill an enemy even before death.
Balder was not surprised when the counter-charge defeated Phoenix's cavalry. In his opinion, the cavalry of the Sixth Battalion were of good quality and well-armed. If they could not defeat the Phoenix, there would be no need for their existence. But this uniform massacre made him feel a little chilly in his heart. If Salin's army is like this, future wars will be extremely cruel!
Two thousand of the three thousand soldiers of the Holy Rock City's envoys joined the battle, and only one thousand were left to defend Balder. The two magicians did not take action. The number of enemies was not large, so there was no need to let them go. The magician comes forward. And on the battlefield, mages of this level will basically only release auxiliary magic on the side. Unless the enemy directly attacks the magician, the magician will not massacre ordinary soldiers.
There is also a safety factor in this. Because of the popularity of alchemical equipment, once a magician encounters a powerful weapon in the army, he may fall under siege. In the central army, surrounded by soldiers for protection, magicians are almost the safest.
The frontal car formation made the Phoenix people very depressed. As a last resort, the approaching infantry also expanded to the two wings like the cavalry, and the troops were spread out. In fact, the large and small vehicles of the 6th Battalion can form a ring to protect all the soldiers, but that will only happen when encountering an enemy that cannot be fought head-on.
Now there is no huge disparity in the strength of the troops. The frontal vehicle formation diverts the enemy's forces, and we look forward to a close encounter with the enemy.
The Phoenix people's idea was a bit simple. They wanted to rely on heavy cavalry to disrupt the Sixth Battalion's formation, and then use infantry to attack. However, their own cavalry was defeated. If these infantry wanted to win, they had to fight head-on without any tactics at all. The generals of the Sixth Battalion did not expect any tactics. The terrain here was flat and there was no terrain to exploit. The enemy is also preparing to betray the situation, and all conspiracies are inferior to a head-on confrontation.
When Rex trained these soldiers, he did not teach them any advanced sword skills, but focused on discipline. The officers did not understand it at the time, but now everyone is very grateful for this.
There are no flaws in the command of the Sixth Battalion, because the soldiers have been trained with brutal discipline and have instinctive reactions to many things.
Officers at the flag regiment level only need to issue simple orders, and the entire army will be coordinated. No matter how nervous the soldiers were, they executed the orders perfectly. On such a battlefield, individual abilities are reduced and collective power is expanded. "go ahead!"
Suddenly there was a high-pitched shout, accompanied by fierce drumbeats, and the infantry of a flag regiment crossed the shield formation and rushed towards the second round of attacking cavalry from the flank. The thousand cavalry did not divide their troops, but tried to disrupt the Royal Swordsman Battalion's pursuit of the retreating cavalry in the south. No one expected that the infantry of this flag regiment actually launched an attack on the cavalry at a distance of 200 meters.
Magic light flashed on the legs of a thousand heavy armored infantry. The infantry of this flag regiment rushed out at high speed. The distance of two hundred was originally very far for the infantry, but under the influence of magic equipment, these heavy armored infantry A terrifying impact instantly erupted.
The distance they can run is only five hundred meters, but it is enough. A flag regiment consists of "a thousand people, divided into five brigades, each of 200 men. The infantry in the front row are all strong men holding axes and halberds."
The heavy and sharp axes and halberds destroyed the hopes of the Phoenix cavalry from the flank. Before their lances could be discarded, they were cut off by heavy armored infantry.
Everyone knows that if the cavalry encounters heavy infantry, they must be careful. It is best to rely on the speed advantage to attack. But who would have thought that the heavy infantry of the Sixth Battalion used the posture of cavalry to launch an attack on the enemy. The cavalry's counterattack was somewhat weak. It was attacked from the flank. The long sword drawn by the cavalry struck the armor of the heavy infantry. Without the advantage of speed, it was impossible to break the armor.
The second infantry flag regiment rushed out. However, the infantry of this flag regiment did not have heavy armor and could not keep up with the speed. They specifically targeted the enemy's wounded and stabbed the wounded on the ground with their short guns.
Incomparably cruel battle, eradicate the roots! F! ~!
