Black Iron Crown

As time passed, the Chinese armies of the two sides had been in a stalemate for nearly 20 minutes, and there was still no winner.

The Golden Lion Guard has amazing combat effectiveness, but the enemy Templars are also very powerful. Although one-on-one is not the opponent of the Golden Lion Guard, but with the cooperation of other light infantry, they can deal with the Golden Lion Guard for a long time.

The battle between the spearmen of the two sides is nothing to watch, it's just a spear stabbing back and forth. Open and close.

However, although the battle between the heavy infantry of the two sides is beautiful, it is not the key to this war.

The distance between the spearmen on both sides was more than three meters, and there was no room for close hand-to-hand combat. Within this three-meter distance, the corpses of the Golden Lion Guard and the Templars screamed wildly, fighting the enemy.

But no matter how hard they tried, the results they produced were not as good as those of the spearmen on both sides.

The battle between the spearmen, while tedious, was bloody.

In the face of three, four, or even seven or eight spears, even a well-equipped man like Sergeant Moreland could not avoid death.

This is especially true for the Jihad army. Their fighting style is very close to that of Leiner's army. The two sides are twisted together like two flesh and blood mills, and there are fallen corpses everywhere.

Although the battle between the heavy infantry looked brutal, due to the thickness of the armor and the strength of the bodies between the two sides, not many people died on the spot.

The only reason for them to fight is to defeat the enemy, and then rush to the front of the enemy spearman, using heavy armor and sharp weapons to massacre the spearman who is not strong in hand-to-hand combat.

The ground was stained red with blood. At this time, Leiner's right wing, that is, the volunteers from the northern border, were still fighting with the enemy.

Although they have undergone a period of training, they are not real after all. Soldiers who have been on the battlefield for several years, although well-equipped, still have some gaps with the enemy's veterans who have been in melee all year round.

Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, Leiner's heart sank slightly. The fighting power of the enemy's central army was beyond his expectations. It stands to reason that Leiner had already played all the cards except the Scarlet Griffon Knights.

In the past, no matter how powerful the enemy was, it would collapse under such an attack, but now the battle has lasted for more than 30 minutes, but the front is still fighting, and the enemy is only showing a trace of decline.

At this time, according to the report of the orderly, the left wing was already on the verge of collapse, and the little lords connecting the various large phalanxes were struggling. Although the situation of the right wing was better than that of the left wing, the fighting situation was also difficult.

Seeing the front line caught in a fierce battle, Leiner gritted his teeth, he couldn't be defeated here, it's the last fight!

If you win, you will eat Jiuding, and if you lose, you will cook it for Jiuding.

So, eager to win, Lehner made the final decision.

"Tell Earl Valas to take the Scarlet Griffon Knights around to the enemy's left side and charge their central army!" Reiner said to the messenger beside him.

Things have come to this, he has no more choices, and this delay will only make his hope of winning less and less.

The messenger received Leiner's order and the small flag, mounted a fast horse and ran towards the knights on the right.

"Is that so, very good, tell His Majesty the Emperor that I will lead the Knights to charge the enemy's side!" After Earl Valas received the order, he took a huge flag gun from the flag officer.

He waved his lance in his hand, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Scarlet Griffin Knights! All! Follow the knights with your followers! Charge the wedge formation! Target the left side of the enemy's central army! The whole team!"

The Scarlet Griffin Knights had originally maintained their battle formation,

After receiving the order, the rest of the benefactor knights also followed the knight order to form a formation, ready to charge the enemy.

Originally, there were nearly a thousand knights under Reiner's command, and ninety Scarlet Griffon Knights. The entire knight order totaled more than four hundred people. Adding in the knights of the benefactors from all over the country, the number was more than nine hundred and nearly a thousand. people.

However, after a series of battles before, not only the ordinary infantry on the front line suffered huge casualties, but even the knights suffered huge losses.

Now, there are only about 700 knights left who can charge, much less than before.

The orders of the Earl of Valas were carried out. The knights set up their battle formations and prepared to charge. The tall horses under their crotches also pawed the ground impatiently with their hooves, wanting to charge with their masters. Rampage into the enemy line.

Earl Valas raised the flag gun in his hand and shouted: "Charge!"

"For victory!" shouted the knights.

In front of Earl Valas, there were more than a dozen Scarlet Griffin Knights following them.

Earl Valas is holding a flag gun, representing the entire Knights, and must ensure the safety of his commander, so he will not participate in the battle.

The horses under the crotch of the Scarlet Griffin Knights were extremely tall, and their gnarled muscles gave them unparalleled speed and impact.

Wearing solid and heavy horse armor slightly limited the speed, but gave them stronger survivability.

At this time, the weather was still a little cold, and bursts of white air emerged from the nostrils of the hot-blooded war horse. The blood flowing in the tall and mighty horse was not ordinary blood, but contained part of the blood of the griffin, explosive blood like gasoline.

The four-meter-long lances were held by the knights under their armpits, and the entire array was like a giant steel dragon preparing to attack its enemies.

The changes of the Scarlet Griffon Knights were discovered by the kings and generals of the Holy War Army, and they raised their hearts one after another. Once the central army was defeated, their advantages on the two wings would be useless.

The commanders of the holy war army also discovered this. In this era, knights are the absolute trump cards on the battlefield. The commanders of the church army have been closely watching the movements of the bloody griffin knights from the very beginning.

"Your Majesty, the enemy's knights have already moved!" The general of the church stood beside Pope Rosa on horseback and said, pointing at the imperial army ahead.

"You are the commander. You shouldn't ask me this question. I'm just a servant of the Holy Father. My old general. I have great confidence in you. Go ahead and do it!" Pope Rosa chuckled, his face full of anger. It is kind.

The general nodded, and said reverently and respectfully: "Then, I request to use our Templars! Only knights can fight against knights!"

Pope Rosa knew he didn't understand military affairs, so all military issues were handed over to the general.

"Follow orders!" the general said to the orderly beside him: "Go and order the Templars! Let them rally! Go against the enemy's knights!"

The Knights Templar had excellent tactical skills, and they immediately prepared for battle. According to the general's order, they approached the position of the Scarlet Griffon Knights, intending to prevent their next move.
