Black Iron Crown

Chapter 629: Situation Erosion

"Steady! Everyone stabilize the formation! No chaos! No chaos!" The senior military officials shouted loudly.

"Kill all the defeated troops! Don't let them come over!"

"Array! The whole team! Give me an array!"

The imperial army was about to attack the "main force" of the coalition forces on the grasslands, but a huge army of 70,000 people could no longer march at the same time. They had to divide into several parts and advance in a long snake formation, that is, marching troops.

Suffering from the sudden attack, the entire army had a huge commotion, and the officers at the grassroots level were also struggling to maintain their subordinates. Most of these officers were children of knights' families, and they had all received real military training.

They knew that if they didn't form an array, then everything would be over, but their actions had no effect.

The sudden attack made everyone at a loss. Coupled with the impact of the serf conscripts in front, it was difficult for them to maintain their formation.

Not to mention the formation now, it is already very good for the soldiers to stay in place and accept the orders of the commander without fleeing. Many people are extremely panicked in such a situation where there are enemies everywhere.

An emotion called despair welled up in the little emperor's heart. He looked at the chaos, the battlefields of defeated troops all over the mountains and plains, and almost fainted.

"Make the team! Give me the team! Where's my guard! Go up and maintain the formation!"

The little emperor shouted hysterically, and the subordinates who followed him also began to panic. No one thought that the 70,000 troops gathered together with such a huge momentum would be wiped out like scattered sand in this instant.

Chaos is like the most virulent virus, spreading wildly at an extremely fast speed, and it cannot be suppressed at all.

The armies of the vassals who were originally behind the main force of the little emperor were also hit. The serf conscripts inevitably broke up the formation of the regular royal army and arrived in front of the imperial vassal army.

In fact, there are not many serf conscripts who can rush here, but the impact they have brought is extremely huge. The escape of the friendly troops in the front means the failure of the war, which caused a huge morale blow to the rear troops.

Just when these vassals were about to line up, there was another deafening sound of horseshoes, and a huge torrent of cavalry rushed towards the flanks of the entire team like a tidal wave.

There are more than 4,000 prairie cavalry, and the first 500 are all wearing iron armor. Even the horses under their crotches are covered with a layer of cowhide tanned leather armor, which can be regarded as simple heavy cavalry.

The momentum generated by the charge of four thousand cavalry is extremely terrifying, and the empire's military system determines that it is impossible to have such a large cavalry.

Even when Emperor Caffett was in power back then, the number of knights he could use at the same time was only more than 2,000, and even these 2,000 knights never charged at the same time.

Therefore, in the eyes of these imperial troops, this torrent is simply an irresistible death scythe, and many people's minds have gone blank, and they have no idea of ​​​​resisting.

Earl Dilling was an upstart who developed during the time when Earl Redmara was in power. With the help of superior policies, he quickly accumulated extremely strong strength. He has more than 800 regular troops who have been trained for more than a year.

Among the upstarts, his status is also very important. He originally wanted to show his strength in front of the little emperor in this war.

Use this to deter the imperial emperor who has just been in power.

But he didn't expect that he would have to face such a terrifying cavalry charge.

He froze for a moment, almost losing the ability to think.

"Quick retreat! Withdraw back! Run!"

As he spoke, he slammed the spurs on the horse's belly against the horse's belly, and then hurriedly turned the horse's head.

The war horse under his crotch felt the pain, so he kicked suddenly, and then rushed out like a sharp arrow off the string.

The subordinates and vassals beside him rushed to follow after seeing this, their own lords had already fled, how could they still stay here?

The knights were right next to these people. They already knew how to read their words. In addition, the lord also issued an order to retreat. Even if they wanted to defend their honor, they had no choice but to evacuate.

Of course, most of them are from the heart, although they would not hesitate to die easily on the battlefield, but under such circumstances, no one is willing to die needlessly, and lose their lives if they don't get honor.

Earl Dilling's escape was a precedent, and the rest of the upstarts and western lords followed suit. No one wanted to stay in such a dangerous situation, and it was too bad to lose their life.

As a result, a large number of vassals and their cronies and knights rode their horses and began to flee, and the prairie cavalry didn't seem to care about the escape of these people, they just focused on the main force of the imperial army.

They were installed on these soldiers at an extremely fast speed, screams and wailing, bones breaking, and metal collisions, these sounds were like various instruments in the band, converging into a song of gold and iron horses. symphony.

Seeing that their masters had run away, those soldiers naturally had no intention of fighting. They didn't even have the thought of resisting at all, they just wanted to get out of this terrifying battlefield as soon as possible.

At this time, the little emperor also noticed the abnormality of his rear army. He saw that the most conspicuous big heraldic flags in those army formations had disappeared, and he still didn't understand what happened.

He roared angrily: "Trash! They are all a bunch of trash!"

"Son of a bitch! How dare they betray me!" The little emperor had received a good education and had never said such vulgar words. Now he was really in a hurry, and he didn't care about those imperial manners.

At this moment, his hand holding the whip was trembling slightly, and several veins appeared on his neck. He gritted his teeth and watched the battle ahead. The blows one after another made him almost explode in anger.

"The main force! Retreat!" The little emperor suddenly shouted with a complex look on his face, as if he had made up his mind.

The little emperor understands this truth. Before the whole thing collapses, it is better to quickly stop the loss and rescue the elite troops in his hands.

His order was timely, and the soldiers below were already on the verge of collapse. At this time, after receiving the order to retreat, they could barely maintain order and retreat in an orderly manner with their formation.

Under the protection of his guards and knights, the little emperor hurriedly rode his horse back, while the regular army retreated in a battle formation.

Under the escort of the crowd, the little emperor walked faster and faster, and the soldiers behind gradually couldn't catch up. Just as the little emperor wanted to make people slow down a little and wait for the soldiers behind.

However, at this moment, a prairie cavalry who had freed up his hands once again stalked the cavalry. The little emperor just wanted to order the knights to delay this cavalry to cover the main infantry behind, but found that behind this cavalry, there were still people behind. There are one or two thousand people.

His words were held back in his mouth abruptly, in a dilemma.
