Black Iron Crown

Chapter 334 The Wings Collapse

However, it wasn't just the Agur cavalry whose morale had declined.

And the armies of Reiner's vassals.

After all, although these armies can be regarded as well-trained professional soldiers, they showed the shortcomings of cowardice and lack of military discipline when facing large-scale cavalry charges.

If they fight alone, they can all be called brave, and even forming an formation can be regarded as above the standard. However, in this case, the most important thing is not personal force, but steel-like discipline.

When facing the scene of tall cavalry rushing towards him, no matter who he is, he will feel fear.

This is a biological instinct, and it cannot be completely eliminated.

The only thing you can do is to rely on discipline to overcome this situation, trust your comrades-in-arms, trust your armor, trust your spear, and meet the cavalry with strict discipline requirements.

However, the soldiers of these vassals could not do this.

Speaking of which, the vassals seem to want to imitate Leiner's army and turn their soldiers into a powerful army with superior combat effectiveness.

There is no shortage of iron in the northern border. Even some vassals who do not have iron mines in their territories will sell steel to them at a low price. Therefore, almost every vassal has a fully armored army.

However, their imitation was not successful. It can be said that they only got the shape but not the spirit. Except for imitating the full armor of the soldiers under Reiner's command, none of them could meet the standard.

The ability of Leiner's army is not entirely based on equipment. It is the strong combat effectiveness under the multiple guarantees of discipline, training, logistics support, pension system, and military merit reward system.

Even without heavy full-body armor, the armies of these vassals would hardly be the opponents of Leiner's army.

Therefore, when facing a huge enemy army, they appear to be timid.

But even so, Reiner's flank was still struggling to hold on under the urging of the vassals.

"Let the archers continue to shoot!" Leiner looked at the battle ahead and said to the herald beside him.

At this time, a concave shape appeared in front of the array. Even if there were sword and shield soldiers resisting at the front, the impact of the cavalry should not be underestimated.

Although they are already considered heavy infantry and have a certain ability to resist cavalry, they are still dwarfed by the impact of war horses anyway.

At this time, more than half of the sword and shield infantry in the front row had been killed or injured. As a front-line soldier, casualties were extremely common, and they were therefore paid more generously than other soldiers.

Most of the sword and shield infantry were killed, which meant that the pikemen in the rear were directly threatened by the cavalry of Agul.

But in the final analysis, the spear array can still deal with these light cavalry.

As casualties continued to occur, Leiner added moreland sergeants one by one to the front line to maintain the formation.

As time passed, a large number of corpses of troops and horses piled up in front of the phalanx, which created a huge obstacle for the cavalry behind, and their impact and speed dropped by more than one notch.

Lena's mouth curled up.

He noticed the dangerous situation on the flanks before, which made him a little flustered,

Because once the flanks collapse or are defeated, the enemy can directly threaten their central army from the flanks.

When the central army is attacked by the enemy from the side, it will undoubtedly lead to a collapse of morale, because it means that it has been surrounded and its side has been threatened.

This will distract soldiers who originally only need to face the enemy in front, and their sides will no longer be safe.

When this kind of thing happened, even the experienced Sergeants of Moreland would feel flustered, let alone the newly enlisted soldiers.

And this, at the same time, will lead to the complete collapse of the front line.

He already felt that the flanks were in danger, but he couldn't deploy more soldiers to assist the flanks to help them stabilize the formation. The pressure in front of the array was already very high. Deploying soldiers at this time would only put more pressure on the central army. .

"Rangers of Rohan go to the right flank to support! Attract the enemy's attention!"

The pressure on the central army became less, so Leiner sent the Rohan Rangers who had never been around to the right wing.

This was the reward Leiner had received for completing the first main mission, but the twenty people hadn't been of much use since then.

Although Rohan is a powerful cavalry nation in the Lord of the Rings, in the end these rangers are just light cavalry.

The impact power is not as good as that of knights, but the professional skills of light cavalry are not as good as cavalry archers, which seems a bit tasteless to Lena.

Going with them are the Chibei cavalry. The Chibei cavalry had lost a lot in the battle before, but they didn't have much effect on the frontal battlefield. It's better to let them support the right wing and relieve the pressure.

"Wave the flag three times, let Baron Valas lead someone to attack the enemy's rear right!"

Seeing that the frontal battlefield had been stabilized, Leiner simply threw out the biggest trump card in his hand.

The impact and lethality of the knights can greatly damage the morale of the enemy, while killing a large number of enemy troops.

At this time, the enemies are already fighting on their own. If the knights play at this time, they will undoubtedly reap brilliant results.

The golden lion emblem on the red background shook three times in a row, and Baron Valas reacted immediately upon seeing this.

"Everyone is ready to charge!" Baron Valas took his lance from his subordinates, pointed at the sky and shouted: "For victory! Charge!"

Four hundred and thirty knights in heavy armor, even the horses covered with heavy horse armor, trotted along with Baron Valas.

This team composed of knights, the strongest unit in the world of the Ridkar nation, rushed towards the enemy aggressively.

The war horses under their crotches are all rare breeds, and they can run wildly even under heavy loads.

Their speed gradually increased to the extreme, and the momentum generated by the charge of more than 400 people was not much weaker than that of the enemy. This is Leiner's trump card strength!

The knights pointed their guns straight ahead and plunged into the weak point of the grassland cavalry's side and rear.

At this time, Baron Kargis had already fallen into a bitter battle, and the offensive of the prairie cavalry was so fierce that his soldiers could hardly resist it.

"puff!"

He hacked an enemy soldier to death with a backhand sword, but more enemies kept rushing forward.

Baron Kargis was already covered in blood, most of which was the blood of the enemy. Seeing his soldiers being trampled to death one by one by the enemy, his heart was bleeding.

This is all armed by myself at a high price, and now it is lost on this meaningless battlefield like this!

He couldn't bear this stupid fight anymore, and looked at Leiner's position annoyedly, and then shouted: "Everyone back! Withdraw from the battlefield!"

Hearing Baron Kargis' order, the soldiers quickly ran to the rear and followed him out of the battlefield.

He left the battlefield very smoothly, and the enemy did not pursue him, because they were busy attacking the other barons' phalanx.

"Lord Baron! Enemies appear on our side!"

Such voices came and went, and the flanks... completely collapsed! ...
