Chapter 282: Collision
The spring breeze was slightly blowing, the dust on the ground and the buds of the weeds were surging with the wind, and the little creatures that had just woken up from winter tilted their heads to look at the situation around them, they didn't understand, why so many monsters gathered here? Is there enough food to eat? What if I don't have enough to eat to eat myself?
Thinking of this, all the small animals hurriedly lowered their heads, for fear that these tall looking monsters would eat themselves because of lack of food.
No one would have estimated their thoughts, and by this time more than 10,000 people had gathered in this meadow, and they were looking at each other, looking at their enemies.
Samur and his army, little by little, gradually appeared in the horizon, and they became more and more numerous, densely packed in a large area.
Their arrival brought a little commotion to the armies of the nobles, and when they saw their enemies, they were eager to try, and at the same time, there was a trace of fear in their hearts.
After all, they were savage Chekers, and more than a third of them were veterans of the Battle of Denlenburg, and had seen the fighting power of the Chekers.
Of course, as the nobles' well-trained and armed infantry, they are not easily afraid of the enemy, and they are also proud.
At this time, they were even a little ashamed, because they were on the flanks, and they could create a strong contrast with the Manders infantry in the middle.
The discipline of the Manders infantry was so strict that they were now standing in place, armed with spears and well-armoured, as if they were mighty sculptures of steel.
They face the incoming enemy without any fear or other emotions, proud they will not have a fear of any enemy, hard training and excellent equipment give them strong self-confidence, do not take anyone in their eyes.
Samur halted the procession, and he mounted on his standing horse, silently watching his enemies, who were clad in armor that the entire Cherkel had never thought of.
Looking at the elite soldiers in the middle, who didn't make the slightest movement, looking at the archers and heavy infantry behind, he had an intuition that this battle would definitely not be so easy to win.
What's more, under the huge banner in the middle of the other party, there were also hundreds of elite knights, and he knew that this kind of elite soldier of the Lordes was the name of the low-level aristocratic army.
These knights were all wearing armor that the Chekel tribe could not think of, not to mention the hundred knight armors that made him salivate, his eyes were completely focused on the forty knights closest to the leader of the other party.
Although he didn't understand the manufacture of armor, he still had this eyesight, and the armor worn by those knights was not ordinary, especially the composite of chain mail and scale armor on his chest, as well as the whole iron plate.
He felt that even if he was brave and good at fighting and had infinite strength, he might not be able to split it with a scimitar, and the four-meter-long riding spear in their hands all brought him heavy pressure.
Looking at the army that the other party did not move at all, but showed an incomparably strong momentum, the Chekel people also began to have some stage fright.
After all, there are not many regular troops in it, most of them are mobilized herdsmen or ordinary farmers, and they can't compare with the Mandes infantry who have basically experienced war.
At this time, the Manders infantry of course also saw the enemy, but when they saw such an unbearable and ragged enemy, they did not even set off any waves in their hearts, although they would not underestimate the enemy because of this, but they would not take them seriously.
William was at the very center of the camp, he looked at the incoming enemy, narrowed his eyes slightly, although the opponent's troops were nearly a thousand more than his own, but the well-trained and well-equipped Manders infantry would not lose to anyone.
"Whole army, ready to fight!"
William gave the order, and all the Manders infantry made a fighting posture, and the sword and shield infantry among the Manders infantry appeared in the first row, and the thick wooden shields they held in their hands were like half a squad tightly protecting the pikemen without shields beside them.
The first two rows of pikemen crouched down and stuck their spears on the ground, although their spears were not as long as the legendary extra-long spears, but they were enough for the cavalry.
The pikemen in the back placed their spears on the shoulders of the soldiers in front, and the entire phalanx suddenly looked like a steel hedgehog, enough to break the enemy's teeth.
Samuel looked at the Mandes infantry and was also a little dignified, he knew that these enemies in front of him were far stronger than other Loald nobles in terms of equipment and military discipline alone, not to mention their impressive momentum.
However, he regained his self-confidence, and in his mind, although the Menders infantry were much stronger than the ordinary armed infantry, they were still far from the heroic Chekel warriors.
"Get in shape! Get ready to attack! โ
Samuel said to his soldiers.
More than 800 horsemen rode on their horses, the first hundred were the chieftain's guards in iron armor, followed by the ordinary regular army, and then the wealthy herdsmen with horses.
Behind them were ordinary Chekers without horses, dressed in improvised leather armor, and holding scimitars distributed by the chieftains.
"O warriors of Chekel, people of Mussoori, the wolf god, let us crush the cowardly Lordes! Chop off their heads! See their fine armor, just kill them, it's your thing, now, charge me! โ
I have to say that this Samuel does have some talents, and if nothing else, this way of boosting morale is much more effective than the dry words of other groups.
The encouraged Chekel soldiers suddenly howled wildly as if they had been beaten with blood, and charged in the direction of William's banner.
Samur was heavily armoured, including his warhorse, which was also covered with a half-length horse armor, he held a spear in his hand, a scimitar at his waist, and surrounded by a hundred chieftain guards, leading more than 800 cavalry like a sharp arrow from a string, rushing towards the Manders infantry.
Looking at the galloping enemy, William did not give any other orders, but only asked the knights to prepare for the charge, but did not let them hedge against the enemy's cavalry.
"Archer prepare!"
He stared at the enemy's cavalry troops, silently calculating their distance.
"Shoot, fire!"
At the sound of an order, the three hundred archers suddenly let go of the recurve compound bow that had been drawn in their hands, and the sharp arrows made a sharp sound of breaking the air after leaving the string, although it could not be called a rain of arrows, but it was also quite terrifying.
The arrows landed on the ground, causing forty or fifty casualties at once, all of whom were shot off their horses by sharp arrows and trampled into pulp by their comrades behind.
