King’s Kingdom

Yes, Theodosius can be sure that the huge army that appeared in front of him was more than 20,000, and if there were 20,000, he would even dare to eat the sword in his hand. .

Walking in the midst of a large-scale army, the rebel leaders were in high spirits. It was the first time they had assembled such a large number of troops. Under the crowd of more than 50,000 soldiers, no one felt that there was a possibility of defeat.

Duke Brando's face was full of spring breeze at this time. He seemed to have seen the next hearty victory, and saw the embarrassed scene of the damned little king under his iron hooves.

At the same time, he is also full of expectations for the future. As long as this war is won, no one will point fingers at his head, and he can become a new king, the supreme king!

Throughout the ages, countless heroes have worked hard for such a goal, and at the same time, a large number of careerists have fallen on this road paved with countless blood and bones.

"Stop the army, let's march in formation!" Although Duke Brando was excited, his desire for power had not made him lose his mind.

Although most of the assembled people are rabble, he firmly believes that there is no enemy that cannot be defeated by virtue of their numbers. When the Eight Holy Kings defeated the powerful dark creatures, didn't it rely on a huge army?

The concept of quality is worthless in front of the concept of quantity!

So, under the whips and scoldings of the officers, the peasants and soldiers dragged their villages and towns into units, forming loose and disorganized formations.

However, in Duke Brando's view, this is enough. After all, there are more than 50,000 troops, and the population of the entire Rhine Kingdom is only more than 200,000. An army reaches a quarter of the opponent's national population , how does this lose?

Such a huge army, even if it is unorganized, rushing forward in a swarm is enough to defeat the enemy army, and letting the peasants and soldiers form a formation is just a mentality of lions fighting rabbits.

It took 20 minutes to set up the phalanx, and the efficiency and organization were outrageously low. Duke Brando did not organize these peasants and soldiers effectively at all, but only dispatched one or two soldiers, like Sheepdogs generally drive them away.

Except for the peasants and soldiers recruited from the fiefs by the knights who barely have some command, the others are just sheep with no purpose and can only act under the urging.

Theodosius looked at the chaotic organization of the opponent and did not give up this opportunity, and immediately ordered the 200 steppe hussars on the right flank to attack.

Their purpose is not to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. This is just a test. Launching an attack when the enemy is not stable is one of the most useful tactics.

But unfortunately, Duke Brando is also a veteran soldier. Although he has never commanded a huge army of 50,000 people in the past, he still has the most basic military literacy.

He arranged a cavalry force of about 300 people in the front left of the army, consisting of a small number of knights, a large number of knight retinues, and a regular army who could ride horses. It was a standing force he was proud of.

This cavalry was placed at the forefront of the formation, the purpose was to prevent Theodosius from sending cavalry to take the opportunity to attack.

With their obstruction, the steppe hussars changed the direction of their charge and made a detour to the left, successfully avoiding a head-on collision with the enemy cavalry, but their ultimate goal remained the same, which was the left wing of the enemy. Three thousand people square.

When the steppe hussars rode their war horses and rushed towards these square formations at a very fast speed, the hands of these peasants and soldiers holding crude weapons were shaking, and even the peasants and soldiers in the front row had a commotion from their crotch. taste……

The deterrent effect brought by the cavalry charging at the fastest speed is too great. Even trained soldiers cannot avoid fear when facing cavalry, let alone these peasant soldiers who have no training and morale, and are poorly equipped and submissive?

As the deafening sound of horse hooves got closer, the panic in the hearts of these peasants and soldiers became bigger and bigger. Most people's minds were already blank, and the loud noise from the black cavalry seemed to hit their hearts. .

Finally, when the distance between the two sides was less than 40 meters, they finally couldn't bear the torment and fear, they threw down their weapons and frantically pushed through the crowd and fled towards the rear.

"Let me see who it is! Damn pig! Those who escape without authorization die!" Several regular soldiers in the back pushed away the peasants and soldiers in the phalanx, and walked towards the culprit who was fleeing in the formation, making the formation more chaotic go with.

However, their actions did not stabilize the queue, but aggravated the chaos.

Such a good opportunity did not make the steppe hussars lose their minds. The order given by Theodosius was just to test and act according to the opportunity. If there is a risk, stop the action and take self-protection as the first priority.

What's more, the leader of the charge was the Queen of the Lanyin Kingdom, Critidos.

That's right, it was Queen Critidos who led the two hundred steppe hussars to fight. Of course, Theodosius didn't want to let his wife take the risk to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

But he couldn't stand her soft and hard bubbles, and thought about her character again. After all, she was a woman who discussed tactics with her fiancé as soon as they met~www.wuxiahere.com~ After weighing, he finally agreed to Kritidos' request. , when a canary in a cage? This is not for a woman like an eagle.

The formation became more and more chaotic under the scolding of the regular army soldiers, but the steppe hussars, who could rush to frantically tear up the enemy formation, did not do so, but made another left turn following the steps of Critidos. , rubbed the opponent's formation and ran over.

Under normal circumstances, large-scale riots in the enemy's body are a good opportunity to charge into the front and tear the front line in one fell swoop.

But the current situation does not allow them to do so. The rebel cavalry behind them are biting their tails tightly like a gangrene, making them unable to fight with peace of mind. What this group of hussars.

Not to mention whether you care about the lives of these fellow clansmen, even if you do this tactically, it is a huge mistake. On the contrary, it is the best choice to lead the team around, without suffering any losses, but making a thousand-person phalanx full of panic. , Lost most of the combat power, no matter how you look at it, it is blood to earn!

Critidos' ability to judge the situation is very good. Seeing that there is no room for further tactical choices, she simply leads the team and runs towards her own army.

Looking at the enemy army that was chasing after her, Critti thought for a while, the corner of her mouth raised, showing a strange smile, and she ran directly to the left of the army.

The rebel cavalry hadn't noticed the danger yet, so they didn't know anything about it, but Duke Brando, who had come to the front of the army formation, could see it clearly, and immediately understood what the opponent was planning.

However, this group of cavalrymen was already five hundred meters away from their army formation. No matter how anxious Duke Brando was, he would not be able to immediately convey the order to such a distance.
