Black Iron Crown

The war progressed unhurriedly. Seeing that the enemy was cowering, Earl Wesley did not dare to step forward, and ordered the phalanx to advance fifty meters to suppress the enemy.

Seeing this, Sir Frante also ordered the army to move forward, with half of them, that is, 550 serf omens, against the soldiers of Earl Wesley's headquarters on the flank, not seeking to defeat them, but only to delay their progress.

The knights followed the flanks of the central army, ready to fight against the charge of the enemy knights at any time.

Sir Farrant marched in the very center of the team calmly. The soldiers looked at him, the victorious commander, with worried eyes, and couldn't help but cringe in their hearts.

Although Sir Frante led the army to win many victories, but they were all small fights, at most they just wiped out some mercenaries who came to the territory to do evil.

Now, what they are going to face is the elite troops of the imperial family. They are full of armored and powerful enemies. How can a group of their own who have only fought bandits and mercenaries fight against the enemy?

Sir Frante had already noticed these thoughts of the soldiers below. Even with the prestige of his many victories, he could not dispel the fear in the hearts of the soldiers, so he could only bite the bullet and push forward.

The two armies were completely entangled, and Sir Frant commanded the serf soldiers in front to rush towards the front row of counter-rebel soldiers.

Moreover, Sir Farrant shrewdly did not order the regular army to follow the serf omens to attack together, but sent a small part of the regular army as a supervisory team to supervise them and prevent them from escaping.

He began to lead soldiers to fight at the age of fifteen. In the south, it was very common to recruit a large number of serf soldiers for war. After a long time, he discovered the huge shortcomings of the serf soldiers.

Not to mention low morale, it is also very easy to be defeated by the enemy. Once a rout occurs, it will have a great impact on the regular army in the rear, and the formation that the regular army has set up will be scattered in a mess.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Sir Farrant only sent serf omens to consume the stamina of the counter-rebel army, instead of letting the regular army follow closely.

The fighting power of the serf soldiers was really not flattering, and they collapsed after a burst of shooting from the suppressed rebels.

Just hearing a sharp sound in the sky, more than 300 arrows fell into the formation of the omen soldiers, and seventy to eighty people fell down in an instant. They rolled all over the ground clutching their wounds, screaming in despair.

The rest of the omen soldiers also felt sorry for each other, looking at the enemy formation ahead and shrinking back.

The supervisory team in the rear began to use long swords and spears to urge the group of omen soldiers to move forward.

In order not to be killed by the people behind, they could only continue trembling towards the impossible enemy in front of them.

"Bring back the archers first!" Earl Wesley frowned and said to the servants beside him as he watched the serf omens approaching.

Although the serf soldiers have low morale and weak combat effectiveness, if they really face the archers who don't wear much armor, they will probably suffer some losses.

After the order was issued, the archers with extremely strong upper limbs withdrew back, and the regular army soldiers in the front row raised their spears, clenched their round shields tightly, and lowered their bodies slightly to prepare for the battle.

Looking at the sturdy enemy army in front, the serf omen soldiers were completely defeated as soon as they came into contact with them. No matter how much the soldiers in the rear beat, scolded and hacked, they could not regroup.

Earl Weasley couldn't help but sighed. The enemy commander did have a few tricks, and directly canceled the first trump card he arranged.

Even if the enemy captured a lot of armor from the counter-insurgency in the previous ambush, their armor rate is extremely low.

The shooting of bows and arrows may be nothing in front of armored troops, but it is quite a powerful killer when the enemy is not wearing armor. Only one arrow can make the enemy lose its combat effectiveness.

Now Sir Frant used the most useless serf omens to force the archers to retreat, which was already beyond Earl Wesley's expectations.

Sir Frante was still standing on his standing horse at this time, and no one knew what kind of expression was on the face under the helmet, whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.

I saw Sir Frant raised his right hand slightly, and said: "The whole army advances slowly, keeps the formation in order, and prepares to approach the enemy's formation. The archers will shoot first when they reach the range!"

Yes, the Earl of Farant used the serf omens to offset the archer advantage of the counter-rebel army, and his own archers can still shoot in front.

The moon-watching flower flag with a blue background fluttered gently under the warm summer wind, and the army under the flag was marching tragically towards the almost impossible army to defeat.

"shooting!"

When the distance between the two sides was about 80 meters, the archers in the front row of the Creek army fired, and 200 arrows flew towards the counter-rebel army like tricky poisonous snakes.

The wood grown in the south is hard and elastic, making it an excellent material for bows and arrows, so the shooting power is quite impressive.

Just one shot caused more than 30 losses to the anti-rebel army with iron armor and shield defense.

After two rounds of shooting, the archers withdrew to the rear of the team, because Earl Weasley was worried that the enemy would shoot incessantly, and had given the order for the infantry to advance.

The infantry of the two sides collided fiercely, and in just a moment, the Creek army suffered a big loss. They were not armored and their physical fitness was not as good as the enemy's, as if a small truck hit the bus body Again, a noticeable setback can be seen.

The next step is the brutal hand-to-hand combat. Because of the armor, the Creek army still has to suffer a little bit, and the loss is even greater. They can only struggle under the stormy attack of the enemy.

The assembled vassals all set their sights on Sir Frante. Although he had led the army to win many victories in the past, it was also the first time that such a large-scale war in which the vassals participated was also involved.

Sir Farrant faced several pairs of eyes but remained unmoved in the slightest. He still stood firmly on the spot, observing the battle ahead.

He didn't have many cards in his hand, so he couldn't make any effective deployment at all.

"It's time to start!" Sir Farrant whispered to a servant beside him, and the servant immediately rode his horse and ran out of the formation without knowing where he was going.

"Knights! Get ready to charge!" Sir Farrant took the lance from the entourage at the side, shaking it in his hand and shouting loudly.

The knights were already familiar with Sir Farrant's weird voice, and they raised their lances one after another, and began to gather with their followers.

The strength of the cavalry is still similar between the two sides. Although the anti-rebel army has more knights, the Creek army has a large number of knight retinues and knights under the command of the vassals in addition to the earl's own knights.

More than 150 knights were assembled, 50 more than the 100 knights who suppressed the rebels, but Sir Farrant did not give the order to charge immediately, as if he was waiting for something.

"Knights, get ready to charge!" Earl Weasley gave an order immediately after seeing a dense crowd of knights gathered under Sir Frant's pennant.

The soldiers in front were struggling, and the Creek army desperately greeted the enemy with their weapons. The battle was extremely cruel.

In just ten minutes, the phalanx was scattered into lines, and most of the soldiers on both sides fought together. After that, the small group of troops behind the counter-rebel army did not fight the Creek army.

Suddenly, Earl Weasley noticed some noises behind him, and when he looked back, his pupils shrank suddenly.
