The Chinese army's war horse flag was erected, and one hundred and ten heavy horsemen slowly paced out of the military formation, their cavalry had heavy steel armor and a dozen feet long cavalry spears, not to mention, even the tall war horses under them were wearing thick horse armor.

These heavy cavalry with horse armor were like a steel wall to the infantry, with mud and blood under the hooves of the heavy horses, and skulls and bones in front of the cavalry spears.

Generally speaking, a heavy cavalry team cannot be completely a real heavy cavalry, and in many cases a so-called heavy cavalry team has only about one-fifth of the heavy cavalry, plus the heavy cavalry is accompanied by the attendant light cavalry and the servant cavalry, these light cavalry are also called partner cavalry.

However, the heavy cavalry in Randi's hands is a heavy cavalry, which is also the strength he relies on the most, and he relied on such a heavy cavalry to charge into battle in the national war three years ago, and he was invincible under the iron hoof.

Randy cherishes the blade very much, which is why he has asked his minions to test the front several times, he can't let the heavy cavalry he relies on suffer huge losses.

One hundred and ten steel monsters slowly accelerated their charge from the gentle slope, and the roar of their hooves on the ground was enough to make the bravest warriors fearful.

The eighty Deadpools at the front of the Gap Army were suffering this physical and mental shock at this moment.

Deadpool is not a dead man's fear of being strong, it is an instinctive reaction, let alone a group of prisoners who have just been brought out of prison.

However, it was not the Deadpool team in the front row who couldn't bear the oppression first, they saw that the two legion commanders of Art and Otto were not moving at all, and they always felt that there was still a trace of resistance in their hearts, and they were indeed bolder.

However, a few prisoner recruits at the edge of the third row of the left rear wing of the Deadpool team collapsed, looking at the steel monsters that were getting closer and closer, and the more and more behemoth, two prisoners were stunned on the spot, and they were about to run away with trembling legs, but before the overseers could severely punish the two frightened guys, they were slashed by a squad leader in black robes, and a bucket was slashed behind their backs, and they were paralyzed and bleeding to the ground

"Break in front of the enemy, kill on the spot!" Otto heard the movement behind him, and immediately turned his horse's head and yelled.

"What are you afraid of! The enemy cavalry can't rush over!! Odo immediately calmed the army's mind.

Unafraid? It's strange if you're not afraid!

The sharp steel thorns on the head of a tall war horse, the heavy chest armor on the chest, the solid leg armor on the legs, the riding spear that pierced the head and the iron man with full armor on horseback, these are all symbols of death and crushing.

More than 100 Swabian heavy cavalry began to kick their horses and speed up, and they charged straight into Yate's army in a wall-like formation, apparently Schwabian intended to rely on the heavy cavalry to crush Yat's fragile defense in one fell swoop, so that the army staring nervously ahead would be crushed into powder by the iron hooves of war horses like grains of wheat from stone grinding.

The iron wall of cavalry was getting closer and closer, and after the distance was drawn to a hundred paces, the cavalry began to shrink slightly, because the gentle slope of the ground suddenly closed.

However, just as the Burgundian prisoners under the iron hooves were gasping for breath and waiting for the final collapse of their nerves, an accident suddenly broke - a heavy cavalry in the lead suddenly slammed into shape, and the front hooves instantly stepped into the air, followed by a brittle crack of the tibia, and before the horses could wail, the cavalry on horseback had been thrown out of the saddle and fell to the ground.

The two heavy cavalry who crossed behind had no time to react and sympathize, because the ground under their horses' hooves also suddenly fell the next moment when the horses' hooves stepped on them, and even the men and horses were directly smashed into it under the action of inertia.

If the first cavalryman was unlucky, the two horsemen who smashed into the pit were called cruel, and when he fell with his horse into a ten-foot-deep hole, he was thrown by inertia against the wall of the pit, which was not soft or slippery clay, but full of spikes

Then came the fourth and fifth cavalry, and it was not until the sixth heavy cavalry reined in their horses down the slope at fifty paces that the heavy cavalry behind them noticed the anomaly in this area.

Art, who had always been resourceful (and cunning), had adjusted the layout of the battlefield according to the temperament of the enemy commander, and he covered all the horse traps and trench traps dug in front of the gap to prevent or kill the enemy horsemen, and covered the top of the wooden fort not only with old earth, but also dug from afar with the same turf as the gentle slope, such thin planks could fully bear the trampling of infantry and even light sentry cavalry, and the tall war horse with heavy armor had to carry a rider in full armor, Such a weight is concentrated on the iron hooves of the war horse, and the thin planks are impossible to bear.

Hundreds of soldiers of the 1st Frontier Garrison Corps, the cavalry team, the heavy infantry team, the baggage team, and even the bow and crossbow team fought on this battlefield day and night for two days and two nights, and this place was no longer what it used to be.

The Swabian heavy cavalry was not too slow to react, and under the command of a leading baron, the heavy cavalry, who had stopped fifty paces, were quickly divided into two groups and ran towards the left and right flanks, trying to bypass the trap area in front of them, and cut through the flank to the middle of the gap, cutting through the formation of the defenders of the gap.

The idea was good, but the cavalry baron probably despised the enemy's ability to dig holes, and if they had known that most of the soldiers who dug these traps were peasants, they might not have gone any further, for the peasant soldiers, accustomed to hoes and shovels, were not satisfied with digging the front full of holes, and the turf on the left and right flanks of the gap was full of such pits.

Seven or eight heavy cavalry on the left and right flanks fell into a deep pit full of spikes, pierced their hearts and lungs, or were trapped in a pit and broke their legs, and the riders on the horses were also knocked to the ground.

On the gentle slope, the heart of the Swabian army commander Randy was dripping blood, he didn't expect the enemy to set up a trap area with a weight limit, no wonder at least two waves of people were sent to the pit and it was not triggered.

With the loss of nearly twenty heavy cavalry in just one charge, Count Landy's eyes were about to burst, and he immediately let the herald blow the horn of retreat.

The Swabian heavy cavalry, who had not entered the trap area of the inverted triangle, had to be ordered to retreat back the way they came.

The more than 500 Burgundian soldiers in the gap at the foot of the gentle slope finally breathed a sigh of relief, followed by shouts and cheers that spread through the dense forest hills.

The Swabians on the top of the gentle slope stopped their attack, temporarily stopped.

The commander of the army, Count Landy, summoned the commanders of the various armies to his side for an emergency military meeting, and a group of people gathered around Landi and argued for a long time before they dispersed.

After a while, two armies dressed in various colors and holding short spears, axes, and sickles and chains slowly moved to the front of the Swabian army formation, and as the trumpets of the Swabian army sounded, nearly two hundred Swabian soldiers began to march down the gentle slope with their steps, and behind these two hundred or so people were eighty or ninety crossbow men with quivers on their waists and crossbows.

Otto spat a large mouthful of thick phlegm in the direction of Count Landy on the gentle slope, and scolded, "Phew! What a shame on these Schwabians! The cavalry couldn't rush and was reluctant to let the elite infantry take risks, so they actually let a group of miscellaneous soldiers fill the dead man's pit. ”

As he spoke, the two hundred or so miscellaneous soldiers had been driven to a distance of fifty paces, and Art did not order the crossbow team to shoot them.

The Swabian miscellaneous men began to work, they stopped at the place where the heavy cavalry had been ambushed, pulled out a few heavy riders who were already stiff or still twitching, and began to look around, of course, for the trap and pit hidden under the turf.

They slammed the ground with their weapons or stomped on the ground with their heels, and at the sound of a sound they stooped down and grabbed the grass and lifted it, and sure enough, a layer of uneven planks covered the deadly pits.

"Hey~hey! My lord, those miscellaneous soldiers are starting to open our traps! Is it for the crossbowmen to shoot? Or simply have people go up and hack them to death. Otto was thrilled to find the Swabian soldiers who were opening the trap.

Art didn't care at all, "Let them lift it, open it as much as they want, and it's better to send some more people to fill in the traps one by one." I see how many people he has and how much time he can spend with me! ”

Art just stood on horseback and watched the Swabian soldiers grope their way from fifty paces to twenty paces, and in this short thirty paces Swabian soldiers actually found fifty or sixty traps, the largest of which could overturn two horses, and the smallest of which could fit into a horse's hoof.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Arte couldn't let the Swabians really run under their noses to tear down the trap, "Okay, it's all under your nose, it's time for the Swabian brothers to go back and rest." ”

"Order, the bow team is twenty to thirty paces ahead, covering the shot from left to right! Four wheels! ”

"Order, the 1st and 2nd Banner Regiments of the 2nd Infantry Regiment will go out of battle to drive away the enemy soldiers after being covered with bows and crossbows!"

Otto immediately relayed Atte's military order to the herald beside him, and the herald first raised the crossbow flag representing the crossbow team, and after the crossbow team responded to the flag, it shook up and down twice in a circle, and once in front of it, and finally the flag was waved from left to right, shaking left and right four times.

After waving the flag, the herald turned his head and glanced at the flag of the bow and crossbow team in the rear formation, as in the same action just now, going around in a circle means taking "ten steps" as a unit, shaking up and down twice means two "ten steps" in front of the formation, and then leaning forward and shaking once means that the coverage is "ten steps" forward, and shaking left and right four times is four rounds of throwing.

This is a complex way to pass orders, but every herald must keep in mind.

"Twenty steps ~ to thirty steps in front of the formation, from left ~ to right ~ cover ~ shoot, four ~ rounds!" The voice of Smith, the vice-captain of the crossbow team, sounded in the back, and Smith could only say word by word in order to overcome the problem of stammering.

In a moment, the first round of more than thirty arrows rained down on the left flank in front of the formation, nailing over three Swabian miscellaneous soldiers;

A second round of arrows rained down one after another, and more than thirty arrows took away two or three lives and five or six wails again;

The third round of arrow rain appeared on the right side of the military formation, and there was also a scream;

When the last round of bows and arrows was fired, there was no need for the soldiers of the first and second banners to drive them away, the Swabian miscellaneous soldiers had already begun to turn and flee, and the crossbowmen who had been waiting in their rear for a long time also began to counterattack, and although most of the troops behind Art were covered by shields, there were also a few casualties.
