Puff!
Puff!
It was a tragedy.
In just a short moment, hundreds of knights from the coalition army of the nobles of the South County hung on the gun forest in front of the shield wall with terrified eyes on their faces.
They thought that these infantry spears would be easily swung away by the four-meter knight's spears in their hands.
Afterwards, they were able to ruthlessly break down the seemingly solid shield wall.
However, they miscalculated.
These infantry spears are fixedly stuck in the grooves of the extremely heavy tower shields. Behind each tower shield, there is a Swadian sergeant of the fifth-level arm or a Swadian infantryman of the fourth-level arm. Firmly fix the position of the tower shield.
The strength of the knights couldn't beat the infantry spears that stretched out about four meters from the tower shield.
On top of the rapidly charging horses, there is no room for the knights to have time to evade.
Since they didn't swing away the terrifying infantry spears, they could only be charged towards the infantry spears led by the horses below them.
The short distance of four meters was less than half a second under the iron hooves of the charging horses.
Cavaliers suffered heavy casualties.
The horse of the dead knight couldn't stop his footsteps, and slammed into the front row of the shield wall of the Nanjun leader's noble coalition army.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The dull loud noise resounded above the battlefield, appearing extremely heroic.
The sound of these loud noises is the sound of hundreds of war horses bombarding fiercely on the shield wall composed of the tower shields of the Swadian soldiers, forming a continuous sound.
Accompanied by the mournful sound of war horses, it circulated on the battlefield.
The shield wall composed of three layers of "stacked shields" was bombarded by hundreds of war horses, but it shook slightly, but there was no sign of being washed away.
The three big knights who charged at the forefront escaped unharmed.
Possessing extraordinary strength, their reaction speed far exceeds that of ordinary knights.
Although, even with their strength, they couldn't shake the infantry spears stuck on the iron shield firmly fixed by the Swadian sergeant of the fifth-tier unit, but they responded with the fastest speed.
They turned sideways, away from the cold, tapered points of the infantry muskets.
Although it was inevitable that they would blast towards the icy shield wall ahead with the horses below them, but with their formidable strength, they survived the violent impact or fell down.
This was due to their good armor and quick reaction speed. They all turned sideways in time and hit the icy tower shield sideways.
He felt the icy tower shield that was hit hard by them and the horses under them but only shook slightly.
A ray of despair emerged in the hearts of the three great knights who had escaped from death.
The charging cavalry will never be blocked. Once blocked, it means failure and continuous death.
The fallen horses in the front will become a stumbling block for the cavalry in the rear, and will form a cascading effect, causing the horses in the rear to stumble one after another.
If the horse that was charging at high speed was tripped, the cavalry on the horse would have a miserable end.
They will be thrown flying at an extremely fast speed, and they will usually be thrown to death directly. Even if they don't fall to death, the bones will definitely be broken.
The three great knights were all qualified generals, and their despair was suppressed in an instant, and then they mobilized all their extraordinary strength and roared wildly.
"Order: The First Heavy Cavalry Corps, turn to the east with all your strength!"
"Order: Third Heavy Cavalry Corps, turn to the west with all your might!"
"Order: Second Heavy Cavalry Legion, follow the other two legions nearby, and turn east or west with all your strength!"
"Order: The First Heavy Cavalry Corps, turn to the east with all your strength!"
"Order: Third Heavy Cavalry Corps, turn to the west with all your might!"
"Order: Second Heavy Cavalry Legion, follow the other two legions nearby, and turn east or west with all your strength!"
"Order: The First Heavy Cavalry Corps, turn to the east with all your strength!"
"Order: Third Heavy Cavalry Corps, turn to the west with all your might!"
"Order: Second Heavy Cavalry Legion, follow the other two legions nearby, and turn east or west with all your strength!"
The three great knights roared crazily, and the extraordinary power on their bodies boiled directly, even if blood blossoms burst from their bodies, they would not hesitate.
This made their voices overshadow the sound of galloping horses, and thousands of knights and cavalry in the front row heard their orders.
For the charging heavy cavalry, the distance between every two horses was at least ten meters or even tens of meters apart. With 15,000 heavy cavalry, the charging team was three or four miles long.
The dense formation of the coalition forces of the nobles of the North County made it inevitable that the shield wall facing them was not particularly long, only two to three hundred meters.
After all, just six hundred Swadian knights surrounded the entire infantry phalanx.
At this time, those cavalrymen who were originally in the second, third, fourth and fifth platoons were already afraid when they saw the misery of the knights and grand knights in the first platoon.
At this time, when they heard the orders from the three great knights roaring wildly, they immediately repeated the orders of the three great knights loudly.
The cavalry in the front row of the First Heavy Cavalry Corps shouted "First Heavy Cavalry Corps, turn to the east with all your strength", turned the horse's head with all their strength, and turned the horses towards the eastern plain.
The cavalry in the front row of the Third Cavalry Corps shouted "Third Cavalry Corps, turn to the west with all your strength", turned the horse's head with all their strength, and turned the horses towards the west-east plain.
The knights in the front row of the second heavy cavalry corps shouted, "Second heavy cavalry corps, follow the other two corps nearby, and turn to the east or west with all your strength!", part of the east, followed the first heavy cavalry corps to turn, and the west side Part of it turned with the second heavy cavalry corps.
If the charging heavy cavalry wants to slow down, it will need a long buffer distance.
Under such circumstances, this kind of order must not be issued arbitrarily. The cavalry who did not slow down in time collided with the horses in front of them who slowed down in time, causing both of them to suffer heavy losses at the same time. If this situation is too much, it will lead to the collapse of the whole army.
After the orders of the three great knights were conveyed, the entire three heavy cavalry corps, forked from east to west, quickly bypassed the dense infantry phalanx of the Northern Commander's Alliance Army, and successfully left the battlefield.
Although there were still hundreds of cavalry who crashed into the sharp infantry spears and the cold and heavy tower shields of the North County Noble Alliance, most of the heavy cavalry from the South County Noble Alliance escaped.
If the three great knights hadn't issued an order at the most critical moment, the fate of these knights must have been extremely miserable.
Don't underestimate the cavalry stretching for three or four miles, but this distance can be crossed in a few minutes for the heavy cavalry who charged!
