Black Iron Crown

In November, the south has just entered winter, and the weather is still very mild, not as cold as in the north.

The sun was hanging high in the sky, Earl Lorrance stood in the center of his formation and looked at the enemy in front of him vigorously

More than 20,000 soldiers all listened to his orders. Although most of them were coalition forces of nobles, he was the commander of this army.

More than a year ago, he was defeated by Reiner, which made him very unwilling.

But today, he will take back all the humiliation he suffered back then.

"Advance on the right wing! Conduct a tentative attack on the enemy's seat!" Earl Lorance's military order was issued, and immediately a herald galloped out on a fast horse.

Two minutes later, the coalition's right wing moved.

Their strength was superior, and Earl Lorrance wanted to try to see if he could directly defeat the enemy's flank first, so that his own army could encircle the enemy's central army.

Because he knew the combat effectiveness of the army directly under Leiner's command. He had suffered enough in the previous battles. It would be great if he could use the flanks and the central army to suppress the enemy.

Watching the enemy's flanks start to move, Reiner said to the herald: "Convey my order, and order Baron Samza and Baron Tirihan to lead their light cavalry to harass the enemy's right flank!"

The enemy's right wing corresponds to Leiner's left wing, and the left wing is slightly weaker, so Leiner placed the cavalry on that side, ready to support at any time.

Leiner narrowed his eyes, seeing that the enemy's central army had not moved for a long time, so he did not give the next order.

After the two sides are at a stalemate, Leiner will send the knights to charge against it. Since Earl Lorance is so confident, let's destroy his main force first! starter

Although Reiner's formation relies more on the central army, it is quite effective if there is a chance to directly destroy the enemy's flanks.

Even if the left wing of one's own side also loses the ability to fight, it is not a loss, after all, the enemy's right wing has more troops.

On the left flank is a small group of Leiner's vassals and Earl Creek's army, with a total of nearly 2,000 people, while the enemy has more than 5,000 people, twice as many as them. The new 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest. Computer side:

The flanks of the two sides began to approach slowly, and the troops of the coalition army were running faster and faster. Their armor was extremely scarce. Against enemies with more complete armor, they could only increase their attack power by running fast.

On the other hand, the soldiers on Lehner's side advanced slowly. Most of them had armor on their bodies. Running would not only consume energy, but also cause their center of gravity to become unstable.

Armor gives them a huge advantage as long as they don't get knocked over by the enemy.

At the same time, 800 professional light cavalry came to the vicinity of the enemy and began to cruise around.

They are not grassland herdsmen like before, but well-trained light cavalry equipped with leather armor.

The biggest difference from before is that they are now able to ride a bow in each hand.

They have basically mastered the ability of horseback archery in more than a year and nearly two years of training. Although they are still completely unable to compare with experienced horseback archers, they can also draw bows and shoot arrows on horseback and maintain a certain degree of accuracy. up.

Under the orders of Tirihan and Baron Samuza, the light cavalry suddenly dispersed,

The first round of shooting was launched against the enemy formation.

More than 800 arrows were shot, causing forty or fifty casualties to the enemy in an instant. They were all unlucky and were shot at vital parts. Otherwise, the arrows shot by riding a bow would not be so deadly.

"Damn! Be alert! Be alert immediately!" The lords in this team were very annoyed by this. They would not be afraid if the enemy rushed in directly, but they turned around and ran behind after shooting an arrow. Can't even catch the shadow, which is very annoying.

"Archers get ready! When they come, I want them to look good!" The soldiers in front were still charging, while the soldiers behind had slowed down, and the archers took out their bows and arrows to shoot.

The light cavalry circled a small circle again and arrived at their rear, and the soldiers behind were waiting in full force as if they had seen a ghost.

Another round of arrows fell into the enemy's formation. This time the result was obviously not as good as the last time. Only a dozen or so people were shot and fell to the ground.

And their archers are already ready.

More than 500 archers launched a volley in an instant, and more than 500 arrows fell into the formation of the light cavalry.

They directly caused more than 60 casualties.

Just one shot is comparable to the two cavalry shots of the light cavalry. In any case, the power and range of the cavalry bow are still not as good as the infantry bow.

Although the casualties were heavy, in the final analysis their goal had been achieved, and there was a gap between the soldiers charging at the front and the troops behind.

Only four or five hundred soldiers rushed in front of the enemy. After the armies of both sides came into contact, the soldiers on Lena's side quickly surrounded the enemy. In just three minutes, these four or five hundred soldiers were completely crushed. annihilate.

With the victory in the first battle, the morale of the soldiers increased, while the flanks of the coalition forces were made restless by the light cavalry.

The archers were all used to guard against the light cavalry, so that the archers on Leiner's side could throw unscrupulously at the enemy's infantry.

Looking at the flanks where the battle was not going well, Earl Lorrance seemed to have been provoked, and directly ordered the central army and the left flank to press forward.

Seeing the enemy's formation move, Leiner immediately gave the order to prepare for battle.

However, the order he issued was not the same as usual, but changed his tactics.

He ordered the center army to advance towards the enemy's left flank, while his own right flank was aimed at the enemy's center army.

This is a temporary solution, because the number of the enemy's army is too large, more than 10,000 people, while the army directly under him is only more than 3,000 people, the three times the difference in strength is really too big.

Even if Leiner has confidence in his army, defeating the opponent will definitely be a protracted task. He doesn't have much confidence in the ability of his vassals to resist pressure.

If one's flanks were suddenly defeated after Leiner's central army fought the enemy, one can imagine what would happen.

Think again about those battles in the previous life where you won more with less, and all of them won the victory only when you fought more with less in some areas.

Simply put, Lena directly handed over his vulnerable flanks to your central army, but your flanks will also face my attack.

Anyway, according to the situation of the enemy's flank, Leiner still has a certain degree of confidence that he can quickly defeat him. As long as the flank can delay for a while, Leiner's goal will be achieved.

At that time, the two armies will attack the enemy's central army together, and it will be difficult for them to be undefeated.
