Black Iron Crown

A fast horse came in front of Count Valas: "Count Valas! Your Majesty orders you to lead the Scarlet Griffon Knights and all the knights to charge the enemy cavalry immediately and defeat them!"

Earl Valas took the command flag from the herald, smiled, and shouted to the knights around him: "Now it's our turn to perform! No one can defeat the Scarlet Griffon Knights!"

"Invincible! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" The knights beside him all took the lances from their subordinates, smiled at the comrades beside them, and then knocked on their chests. Red plate armor.

The knights behind got ready to fight one after another. Earl Valas took the golden griffin flag with a red background from one of his followers, pointed forward, and shouted: "Scarlet Griffin Eagle Knights, charge!!"

"Long live!"

The knights shouted loudly, followed closely behind Earl Valas, and accelerated their horses.

"Rumbling..." A muffled sound of horseshoes sounded from the other side of the battlefield, like thunder in winter, shaking people's chest tight.

King Sartley had already reacted to the cavalry of the northern border army, and the expression on his face could not help but be very ugly. He felt that today might not be a good day for a decisive battle, because he found that everything seemed to be against him.

His right-wing army became confused under the harassment of the enemy, and fell into a disadvantage in the confrontation with the enemy. Although his left-wing army has not shown much decline, it has more enemy troops .

I hoped that the Karda cavalry would defeat the sneak attacking enemy army as quickly as possible, but the enemy cavalry responded equally quickly.

King Satli felt that everything was not going well, and the irritability in his heart became more serious.

However, at this point in the war, he had no more cards to show. He could only bet that the Kardas' cavalry was stronger and could defeat the enemy's knights.

Or an army that has become stronger under its own reforms can defeat the enemy in frontal combat and win.

Of course, he hoped that the breakthrough would be in his own infantry phalanx. Even if the Karda cavalry won, it might not cause too many casualties to the enemy. On the contrary, many tactics of the cavalry revolved around the infantry formation.

For example, now, there is only one reason why all the cavalry on both sides are dispatched. King Satli hopes that the Karda cavalry can launch a surprise attack on the enemy's infantry, while the purpose of the cavalry on Lehner's side is to protect their own infantry.

Of course, the infantry under King Sutley did not take the lead in finding a breakthrough point as he expected.

At this time, the distance between the central armies of the two sides was getting closer and closer. After enduring four rounds of shooting from the crossbowmen, the army of the Bukden Kingdom entered within 80 meters of the northern army.

In contrast, they also paid more than 700 casualties for this.

When they entered the range of 80 meters, more arrows were fired at this moment.

Four hundred crossbow bolts and eight hundred arrows landed on the enemy's heads like locusts landing on the ground. Whether it was a pulley crossbow or a recurve bow at a distance of 80 meters, they had already entered a very powerful range.

However, the current shooting seems to be scattered, and only archers can hit the enemy's front row.

In order to prevent accidental injury to the friendly troops in front, the crossbowmen cannot shoot flat.

Throwing can only hit some enemies behind.

More than 800 recurve bows shot two rounds of arrows in a very short time, and more than 300 people fell to the ground in an instant.

The enemy army advanced another 20 meters, and their archers finally counterattacked Leiner's central army at this moment. They had been suppressed by the opponent's firepower for so long, and their hearts were already full of anger.

Now that I finally have a chance, I will naturally not let it go.

They put the arrows on the bowstring and sent them out in a fit of anger.

But it is a pity that their attack effect does not seem to be very great.

The central army of the Kingdom of Bukden is very large. There are more than 4,000 Karda infantrymen, plus more than 4,000 infantrymen belonging to King Satli's headquarters, and 800 heavy armored warriors, totaling more than 9,000 people. .

And Leiner's central army also has his own 4,800 northern soldiers, and 1,200 long-range strike forces. In addition, there are 200 Golden Lion Guards, which are fewer in number than the enemy army. Some.

However, there is not much difference in the number of long-range strike forces between the two sides. In such a confrontation, Leiner's archers and crossbowmen caused huge casualties to the enemy.

There are more than a thousand people, which is one-ninth of the opponent's number.

A counterattack by the archers of the Central Army of the Kingdom of Bookern brought only a few dozen casualties to the soldiers under Leiner's command.

That's it, just a dozen or so people who were unlucky to a certain extent. The other arrows fell into Leiner's army and either bounced off with a tinkling sound, or shot into the gaps in the armor or chain armor. It was stuck in the center and did not cause any damage to the soldiers inside.

Such an unequal war cast a haze on the army of the Kingdom of Bookern, and at the same time, it also boosted the morale of Reiner's central army.

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, the momentum generated here is no less than that of the frontal battlefield.

The Scarlet Griffon Knights consisted of 450 members, and there were more than 400 other feudal knights, adding up to 900 men in heavy armor. Even the tall war horses under their crotches were wearing heavy horse armor. Cavalry, the almost unshakable heavy tank of this era.

In the front, the blood-red feathers on the heads of the scarlet griffin knights fluttered wildly in the strong wind, and the pennants with the griffin emblem on their lances were also fluttering with the wind. .

The speed of the horse was getting faster and faster, Count Valas leaned down slightly, and leaned forward, most of which was covered by the horse's head.

The banner in his hand was still held high, grinning in the wind.

And the lances in the hands of the three blood-colored griffin knights in front of him had already been put down, tucked under their armpits and aimed straight ahead, and the shield in their left hand was pressed against his chest, covering half of his head and half of his chest. chest.

The duel between the cavalry was swift and fast, and the cavalry of the Kardas also charged very fast. The hundred cavalry in heavy armor at the front looked menacing and bloated.

The armor on these people may have reached the same weight as the Scarlet Griffin Knight, but they do not have the bonus of the Griffin's blood. They are a group of cavalry born to charge and break through.

The Scarlet Gryphon Knights are always proud and defiant.

At the same time, they also had this strength, and there was a burst of shouting from the gap in the helmet when they were fully surrounded.

"Long live the Knights! Long live the Emperor!"

Amidst such shouts, the two sides were already close at hand, and the lance in the hands of Karda's elite "cleansers" had reached the front of the three scarlet griffin knights.

And the longer lances of the Scarlet Griffin Knights also almost reached each other's throats.

"Boom!" A deafening sound burst into the sky.
