1331 Dawn of the Empire (III)

"Woo" The sound of the horn from the side of the imperial army under the city made a loud bang in the night, and countless black cavalry, like a high-pitched and passionate war song sounded in the night, and the sword light like snow was like a silver rolling wave that was rapidly moving forward and constantly turning, rushing straight towards the position of the fortress gate

"Enemy attack!"

The expeditionary force was in chaos on the city wall, and most of the people didn't realize what was going on, "Touch!" Another burning fireball rose into the air, and at the moment of violence in the sky, countless brilliant points of light bloomed in the air like a huge flower,

"Onward, warriors of the Empire!"

The night sky lit up the entire battlefield, and farther away, Caesar Sauron swept past the ten infantry squadrons responsible for covering the attack, his sabers raised above his head

"Victory, victory!" The sound shook the wilderness, countless sharp and cold infantry spears, like a dense forest, suddenly raised in unison at this moment, the morale of the troops reached its peak in an instant, the siege shield discharged a tight shield wall at the front end of the military formation, behind it was the hoplites responsible for breaking through the enemy's blockage, and then the light infantry responsible for expanding the gap, and the crossbowmen as the last side of the military column,

The main attacking army of 11,000 people is like a silent killing god. Advancing towards the walls of Truburg, his steps neatly stepped up and down, the earth rumbled under his feet, and under the cold steel helmet, there were a pair of bloodshot eyes, full of thirst for blood,

The ten infantry formations formed by the Northern Army formed a huge trapezoidal queue, behind the 20 tall siege vehicles, hundreds of battle flags rattled in the night wind, and the killing intent of the Imperial Army was like a fire in the dark night straight into the sky, "Attention, the left flank has found the enemy!" A chaotic voice suddenly sounded on the city wall, "The right side has also come up!"

"Don't mess around, everyone. Take back the city gate first," Starshuyl stood on the wall and shouted at the disorganized soldiers, but no one answered him, and a dense black dot rose from afar, and these black dots swept across the sky like a flock of crows, and then drew a heavy falling arc, and smashed into the walls of Fort Tru with a thunderous force, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force were like patches of wheat seedlings being crushed to death

"Beware of arrow attacks" is a mess everywhere, and there are countless people who have been hit by arrows, because of the suddenness of the incident. The execution of the Imperial Army suddenly turned into a large-scale attack, and the expeditionary force that was completely beaten was a little confused, especially the cavalry that took the lead, which turned out to be the cavalry that should not have appeared,

I have to admit that the combat power of the Imperial cavalry is very remarkable, and if it is a battle on flat ground, the combat power of the well-equipped Imperial cavalry is equal to three or four soldiers of the expeditionary force, as if it were a group charge. It only takes 2,000 Imperial cavalry to crush a 6,000-strong legion,

But this is Fort Tru, a fortified wall, a barrier that can never be broken through by cavalry. No matter how powerful the cavalry was, it was impossible to jump up the vertical city wall on horseback more than ten meters high, except for Starshuil, who felt something, no one else in the expeditionary force thought of "touching!" The eighth fireball reached its apex. Burst violently in the air, bursting with flashes of light, radiating like scattered stars in the black sky. Everyone's eyes were in this white light, and they felt an indescribable burning sensation, "City Gate!

I don't know who shouted hysterically, the soldiers of the expeditionary force turned their heads from other directions, and were stunned to find that they didn't know when, the originally closed gate of the fortress had been slowly opened from the inside, and the black cavalry not only did not appear to be turned on their backs, but poured into the direction of the city gate like an unstoppable frenzy, and there were bursts of fierce shouts of fighting,

The Central Guards cavalry who rushed into the fortress and the nearby soldiers of the expeditionary force slammed together, like a nail sharp smash into the soft flesh, the huge impact of the Guards cavalry, immediately ploughed a bloody road in the columns of the expeditionary army around them, and the wild galloping war horses did not slow down because of the small obstacles in front, but broke the original uneven formation of the expeditionary force in an instant, and the chaos of people turning over their horses spread rapidly like the center of a bowling ball that was hit.

Although the dozens of guards cavalry at the front fell a lot, the formation of the rear follow-up still maintained a high speed. Such an impact caused the queue of the expeditionary force to be violently pushed down in less than a minute

"Forward, punch them through!"

Hu Keqili, the central general who led the attack, did not show the slightest emotion on his face, and his war knife slashed a soldier of the Salander Expeditionary Force like lightning, his face was as hard as pig iron, and his heart was as cold as ice and snow! Under such a close collision, combat skills and strategy were completely unimportant at this moment, and when they met on a narrow road, only the flesh and blood courage of the warriors were the greatest weight to determine the balance of victory.

The advantage of cavalry lies in the tonnage of the war horse, in the powerful impact, never stop moving forward, forward, and the heavy war horse in battle armor is their most advantageous impact weapon

The hammer of the "bumper" guards cavalry smashed the expeditionary force in front again and again! There were no sparks, only blood! The shock formation continued and coherent, like an indestructible steel lance; the enemy blocking the front turned into a piece of fat butter that could be cut by itself.

The armor of the guards cavalry is thick and tough, the polished and smooth armor forging surface, and the sharp spears of the expeditionary force often stab their bodies and are often bounced off, and only a very small number of skilled pikemen have mastered the technique of breaking through the gaps in the junction points of this armor

Cavalry is the natural enemy of infantry, this has always been an unshakable truth before the rise of the Falcon Dynasty, even the Normans, who are dominated by infantry, would never be stupid enough to use infantry to fight a face-to-face encounter with a cavalry cluster in such a direct situation

"The 5th squadron was routed"

"The Fourth Squadron is completely annihilated" came one after another depressing news, and the remaining soldiers of the expeditionary force had dull eyes, sinking hearts, and even cold and piercing,

Without the support of the city walls, they don't know how to fight to the death against the Imperial Army, which has an absolute advantage in both combat power and numbers!

Less than fifty meters in front of them, the Empire's infantry swarm swooped down like a landslide tsunami,

"Pop" As the siege car's arm-like baffle fell, the last layer of shrouded sand was dragged down by the Imperial Army (to be continued). )
