Black Iron Crown

Chapter 477 Light Cavalry Charge

Earl Creek was so jealous at this time, there were not many soldiers left around him. The more than 1,000 soldiers and his vassals trained by Frante were almost lost.

Although the southern soldiers under his command had not arrived yet, the armor rate was much higher than that of the enemy army, and the training level was slightly better, but after all, the gap has not reached the point of extreme difference.

The quadruple troop gap is no longer enough to be filled by armor jumping.

The same is true for the three vassals of Leiner in the left wing army.

Although the fighting power of northern soldiers far exceeds that of southern soldiers, and they are considered top-notch in terms of weapons and equipment and physical fitness, the number is still too small after all.

With only three barons and more than 200 regular troops, the enemies to fight against are no less than those under Creek Bijue's command.

You know, there are more than a thousand of them, and the strength of these three vassals is only more than two hundred, a gap of five times!

Even though they were valiant and valiant in battle, casualties were always inevitable.

But in fact, the reason for the real rout was not because of these northern soldiers.

In order to return to the north alive, and in order to return to their hometown, they even burst out with invincible morale. Even if they fight until there is only one person left, they will never back down.

It was the soldiers under Earl Creek who caused the collapse of the left wing.

They are different from the soldiers in the north. Once the soldiers in the north are defeated, they will face the end of death, and they will never be able to return to their hometown and reunite with their families.

But the soldiers under Earl Creek were completely different.

Although they admired Sir Frante very much and loved the Earl Creek family, in the final analysis, this war has nothing to do with them.

Even if they were defeated, their lives would not be in great danger. At worst, they would be turned into serfs and lose their status as professional regular soldiers.

However, which lord would really let soldiers who have been trained to their level be serfs?

It can be said that even if the battle is defeated, it will not have a great impact on these soldiers.

With such a state of mind, facing such an enemy's fearless attack and heavy casualties, the cowardice in their hearts instantly gained the upper hand.

And their defeat was total. The soldiers fled in all directions, and naturally some people rushed into the Northern Army who was fighting the enemy.

Being collided by friendly troops from the side, these northern soldiers were thrown into chaos in an instant, while the enemy took advantage of this moment to pounce on them like hungry wolves and bite them fiercely, dividing their formation.

Under such circumstances, defeat is inevitable.

Just as the light cavalry were about to charge up, the entire formation was completely defeated, leaving only the lords struggling to support under their personal guards but protection.

Several subordinates around Leiner hurriedly stared at him, seeming to be really asking for his opinion.

Reiner could see panic in their eyes, they all knew the consequences of the collapse of the left wing.

One of them moved his throat up and down Huadong, and asked Tian Tian with his lips: "My lord...do we need them to continue charging?"

He was referring to the light cavalry who had been ordered by Leiner to charge.

Everyone knows that if the light cavalry really hits the infantry formation, it will definitely cause huge losses.

Reiner was also aware of this, but he didn't hesitate at all, pointing directly at one person and said: "Go and send the order to let the light cavalry continue to charge! If anyone is cowardly, kill them directly!"

As he said that, Leiner took a good look at the enemy knights who were also cruising around the periphery of the army formation.

Although the enemy's knights are not strong enough, their horses are not strong enough, and their armor equipment is also mixed, this does not change the fact that they are still knights.

Moreover, the number of knights on the other side is twice that of your own side. If the knights are really sent out to support the left wing, the enemy knights can charge unscrupulously.

If the light cavalry were allowed to go up at that time, the loss would definitely be greater than it is now.

The battle has reached this point, and the comparison is who has more cards in hand, who can keep the cards until the end, and whose card is bigger.

Although the left wing collapsed, as long as they could delay the time, Leiner felt that there was no need to spend too much to support them.

Perhaps this is the change that Leiner made after becoming a duke. Ruthlessness is an essential quality for him. Even his three vassals and his father-in-law are among them, but in order to win, he has to do it callous.

The light cavalry didn't hesitate at all after receiving Leiner's order. Although they knew that they might die on this battlefield, none of them was afraid.

In other words, each of them was afraid in their hearts, but in order to win and go home, they had to rush to the enemy.

In the face of fear, it is still obligatory to charge the enemy repeatedly. This may be the best explanation of courage.

Looking at the appearance of this group of light cavalry, Leiner was so fearless, but Leiner knew how difficult it was to face a large number of infantry with light cavalry.

He couldn't help but think of the person he thought was called Chen Buzhan in his previous life. His king Zhuang Gong was killed by Cui Zhu. After hearing about it, Chen Buzhan immediately set off to help his king.

However, he is a cowardly person by nature. On the road, he can't even hold the spoon and bowl steadily because of his scared face, but he still insists on going to rescue his monarch.

Even though he didn't play any role in the end, he was frightened to death by the sound of weapons colliding on the battlefield.

However, his courage and righteousness have been extolled by countless people.

At this time, these light cavalry were like this. Even though they were extremely nervous and knew that they would face huge losses, they still rushed forward without hesitation. This is the military order.

They are basically cavalry on the prairie. After following Leiner, the tribe has lived a good life. They don't want to give up this kind of life. They want to go back alive and return to the prairie.

More than a year of training has greatly improved their discipline. Although they are still incomparable with Sergeant Moreland, military orders can be thoroughly implemented.

The moment the horseshoes sounded, the enemy discovered their existence.

At the beginning, the light cavalry caused quite a commotion to the enemy, which kept them on guard against these damned "cowards".

The sound of horseshoes naturally got their attention.

"The archers are ready to shoot!" The nobles in the army shouted.

The soldiers who were besieging the defeated left wing stopped their movements for an instant and retreated to guard against the light cavalry in the distance.

This gave the defeated army a little respite. Leiner's vassals and Earl Creek immediately led the few remnants back for hundreds of meters.

At this time, the horse speed of the light cavalry has been raised to the extreme. They put their riding bows in the bow pockets on their backs, hold the three-meter spears equipped on their horses in their hands, and put them under their armpits to prepare for the sprint. Prepare.
