Chapter 246: Crossing the river and rushing to the mountain, the top city is demolished
"Leave it to us!"
In order to efficiently attack the rear positions of the Serbian rebels, the cavalry chose a sharper shuttle line than the regular parallel battle columns of the mounted infantry.
"The cavalryman at the front, what's his name?"
Following Hunyati's direction, Giovanni quickly recognized the guy who was not quite the same as the others. It was a young cavalry flag officer, perhaps to maintain mobility, or perhaps simply thinking that the armor affected his efficiency in slashing the enemy, his war horse only had a simple chest plate and front armor, and because of the advantage of degree, he rushed to the front of the cavalry array with considerable ease. Like a sharp arrow, it broke through the encirclement of the Serbian infantry.
Like Hunyadi when he was younger, he was dressed in white armor and armed with a cavalry sword, slashing left and right at the right time, harvesting the lives of the rebels with considerable efficiency. And when he rushed to the top of the mountain, he was completely in a no-man's land. The galloping all-white horses became a complete nightmare for the Serbian rebels.
"He...... Flora Browiner. Originally, he was still the flag bearer of Skanderbeg. Giovanni replied, "Not long after joining the Phoenix Legion, he is now the captain of a cavalry squad with more than a dozen mounted cavalry. It's just that it hasn't been well integrated into the entire legion? ”
"What do you mean?"
Hunyadi soon learned the answer to this question from the reaction of the entire cavalry corps.
Of course, the dignity of the hoplites did not allow their limelight to be completely overshadowed by an alternative "flag cavalry", so a strange vicious circle was officially staged.
On the steep final section of the rock face, the crumbling rubble of the horses' hooves kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust, making it impossible for the Serbian rebel commanders such as Duke Tolinka to observe the frontal battlefield in detail, and the cavalry rushing to the front line, the originally well-maintained shuttle formation, quickly changed into a line.
There is only one purpose, to surround and completely destroy the rebels on the entire mountaintop!
"That guy! He...... He is indeed a god of war. Tolinka's eyes still flashed the scene of the blood-stained red and white cavalry rushing straight towards him with a long sword in his hand. If it weren't for the guards driving him away with crossbow arrows, I'm afraid he would have been separated, "It's a pity that he is not a Serbian warrior...... Observe a moment of silence for him. We have no way back. Once the Berichh Mountains are lost, the whole of Prokupule will also be in danger. Leave them on top of this mountain forever! ”
The coalition forces attacked from the north towards the summit of Mount Berich, but they did not know the exact situation south of Mount Berich. Because the ridgeline is heavily guarded, the outpost does not have access to information from the south.
And when Giovanni did not see the Serbian rebels' artillery positions move, the sense of unease in his heart grew stronger.
"Your Majesty, if it's you......"
"When the infantry front is about to break through, I will definitely not watch the artillery positions stand and be beaten." Hunyadi directly interrupted Giovanni's questioning.
And the conversation wasn't over yet, and on the other side of the ridgeline, a dense crowd of infantry armed with tomahawks, swords, or heavy blunt weapons poured to the top of the mountain. Such a sudden attack immediately brought the offensive of the coalition army to a halt.
The light infantry line behind the palace was belated, but the situation on the top of the hill was clearly different from the one-sided offensive they had imagined.
The heavy cavalry regiment of the Phoenix Legion formed a real torrent at this time, but this torrent completely stopped in front of the dense wall of well-trained infantry.
However, under the Phoenix Legion's huge blood-red Phoenix battle banner, no one took a step back. The non-commissioned officer who had rushed forward first was still fighting, and he took the flag from the hands of a fallen flag bearer and waved it vigorously.
"Phoenix! Born of blood! ”
The almost terrifying cohesion of the entire army at this moment made Tolinka, who originally thought that the situation on the battlefield was about to be completely reversed, fell into infinite shock again, in order to prevent the "death squad" composed of peasants from continuing to retreat, Duke Tolinka had to draw the whip from his waist, and then threw it at the fastest soldiers.
"Behind you is the city of Prokupur! It's your family! Your homeland! Don't go back! For Serbia! For the sake of the Restoration Army! ”
"Let the damned king die himself! We're not fighting! The farmers who had been whipped wept, but that didn't stop more from trembling and retreating.
Tolinka's ambush soldiers, of course, have stronger combat effectiveness and cohesion than the peasants, but this does not mean that they can fight the Phoenix Guards for a long time without falling behind.
"Resist...... We have more reinforcements! Tolinka cried out in vain.
The artillery had to spend more time cooling down the stout barrels because of the long period of concentrated fire. And the stock of arrows was also consumed at the beginning of the impact on the mountain range. At this time, when the Roman legions formed a dense front, Prokuprie's soldiers had no way to tear out the gap.
At this moment, the nightmare of all the defenders of Mount Berich, pulling his horse that had turned dark red, made a bend on the top of the hill, and led dozens of mounted cavalry to charge into the line of Serbs.
"Well done! Flora! At the end of this trip, it's time for our General Giovanni to knight you again! ”
By this time Flora had done his old job, and by this time his knight's sword had returned to its scabbard, replaced by a banner lance that he had taken from an unknown flag bearer.
"For the Empire!"
"For the Empire!"
"For the Empire!"
This battle cry resonated with almost the entire Roman legionnaires on the top of the mountain, and the roar was transmitted between the mountains of Serbia, and finally turned into a reminder for the Serbian rebels.
The cavalry squad once again rushed into the crowd, raising a mist of blood, and Flora, after piercing the two axe-wielding infantrymen with her lance, turned the reins, and at the same time, raised the knight's sword again.
The Phoenix Legion itself is a collection of the best soldiers in the empire, and at this time, the summit of Mount Berich is already flying with various flags, but most of them are the symbol of the Roman Empire.
"Concentrate your shot! Don't let go of their artillery! "The non-commissioned officers who rushed to the front did not forget their command duties and once again pointed the way for the cavalry.
Tolinka almost fainted.
"Lord Duke...... It's time to go......"
"Lord Duke? Lord Duke? Come on! Take the Duke down! ”
