Chapter 539: The Baptism of the Cavalry

William looked at the rapidly transforming soldiers, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, even if the front line collapsed, he was enough to turn me around.

Now he just hopes to make the recruits on the training ground quickly become veterans, so that he can command them later.

The soldiers who were getting better and better killed and wounded a large number of enemies, and the front line was now very solid, and the pikemen kept stabbing forward, and one by one the enemy died tragically under their spears, and even the corpses could not be left intact.

Although these pikemen can only make simple stabbing movements in the array, their hand-to-hand combat ability is not weak, after all, they are not always in formation to fight the enemy.

In fact, scattered battles in teams are not uncommon, especially when fighting in the mountains, where to find a place to line up for them.

In this way, the enemy was quickly consumed by the spears and swords of the Delenburg infantry, and the losses they were able to inflict on the Delenburg army were very small.

Of course, the Denlenburg infantry was not without casualties, and so far in the battle, the Chekel infantry has lost more than 1,500 men in hand-to-hand combat, while the Denlenburg infantry has also suffered more than 300 casualties.

After all, they were now only wearing a single layer of iron armor, which was completely different from the two-and-a-half-layered, airtight iron armor of the previous Denlenburg infantry.

If it had been in the past, the enemy's chaotic formation, and their poor weaponry, could have caused dozens of casualties to the Denglenburg infantry.

If you want to fight against the Denglenburg infantry, it is impossible to resist the line without the same neat phalanx as them, and even if they have the same equipment as the Denglenburg infantry, they will definitely not be their opponents.

Fifteen hundred, plus the previous 1,700, they had lost more than 3,200 by this time, and their morale was on the verge of collapse.

Such losses were too much for them to bear, and the already scattered formation became even more chaotic due to the rout of some people.

Chief Mutus and Chief Tiliro frowned as they watched from behind, there was simply no way to solve this rotten battle situation.

Now that it has been decided to break with the enemy, there is no way for them to retreat, and there is no hope for the East Cheker and Kriza people.

Even if they want to preserve their strength and retreat first, it will be useless, where can they flee to? Even if they escaped, where would they be able to survive?

Therefore, they either defeated William by luck, or the whole clan was buried here for the territory.

William also duly ordered the troops to shout the slogan of surrender without killing, and many frightened Chekers quickly put down their weapons and knelt on the ground to express their surrender.

The Chekers, who did not lay down their arms, did not move on, but fell into hesitation, neither wanting to lose their lives nor bear the title of cowards, so they still hesitated.

The chieftains of Tiliro and Mutus, who were behind, immediately ordered the cavalry to charge the Denlenburg infantry.

They had been surrounded by the Denlenburg infantry, trying to find a flaw, and after receiving the order, they immediately rushed to the Denlenburg infantry from all directions.

William was not too worried when he saw the enemy's cavalry charge, and it would be better for them to face the onslaught of the cavalry.

Still, William had the Iron Cross Knights and fifteen hundred light cavalry scattered to stop the enemy cavalry behind and on both sides of the Denlenburg infantry.

Only more than a thousand cavalry in front of them were left unstoppable.

Seeing that there was no worry behind them and beside them, the Dengrenberg infantry had no other worries, they clenched the swords and spears in their hands, and once again bowed slightly, and the muscles of their whole bodies tensed.

Make the most powerful stance to resist the onslaught of enemy cavalry.

Although the enemy's cavalry is only light cavalry, the impact of the war horse should not be underestimated, even without the protection of horse armor and heavy equipment, it is difficult to resist.

In front of their eyes, these cavalrymen riding tall horses were like giant beasts in the wilderness, although they had also seen the light cavalry and knights in the army, but they did not face them head-on.

At this time, they faced the enemy's cavalry charge, and the veterans of a hundred battles had some rare sweat on their palms at this time.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbling on the ground made them distinctly see the heat coming out of the horses' noses.

The formation of the Dengrenburg infantry became more and more tight, the sword and shield infantry inserted their shields with some angles into the earth, the pikemen also stuck their spears in the ground, and the pikemen in the back also tried to stretch their spears forward, hoping to stop the enemy's impact.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the enemy on Cheker's horse rushed into the formation of the Denlenburg infantry, and the spears of the first two rows were instantly broken.

But a large number of war horses were also killed by spears, and the cavalry on the war horses died without a place to be buried.

The sword and shield infantry at the front were almost without exception, all of them were knocked down and knocked over, and many were even trampled to death and injured by horses' hooves.

However, it was precisely because of their uselessness that the enemy's impact was quickly slowed down, and they were unable to continue to advance with this rush.

Usually, when the cavalry is charging the infantry, if this can happen, it means that the cavalry is about to fail.

The cavalry, having lost its speed and impact, fell into the quagmire of the infantry, which was undoubtedly in a desperate situation, after all, on the horses, not on the flat ground.

On a war horse, whether it is a spear, a scimitar, a sword, or a bow and arrow, it is not as easy to use it as standing on the ground, and it is not as powerful.

If the cavalry did not have shock and speed, then they would not have any advantage to speak of.

This was almost the first time that the Denlenburg infantry had faced the enemy's cavalry, and in the past, if the enemy had sent cavalry, William would send his own knights out of the station.

As a result, the Dellenburg infantry were trained in cavalry combat, but they had no actual combat experience.

But they also played very well this time, successfully stopping the enemy, and the next thing was the slaughter of the Dengrenberg infantry.

Cavalrymen who have lost their speed are about the same as sheep that have no ability to resist.

The pikemen in front of them with broken spears have basically dislocated their arms, or fainted, and are always incapacitated.

They were moved to the rear, and the pikemen and sword and shield men in the back quickly made up for it, the pikemen kept stabbing and the sword and shield soldiers also used the tiger and tiger wielding in their hands to slaughter the enemy.

The neighing of the horses continued to sound, and many of them died with their masters.

The cavalry in front was slaughtered, while the cavalry in the rear fled quickly when the situation was not good, and the charge of the enemy cavalry was broken up.

The Denlenburg infantry also suffered a lot of losses under the enemy's charge, and in just one charge, the Denlenburg infantry suffered seven or eight hundred casualties.

Fighting the enemy's infantry for so long before was not as great as the loss from a charge of the enemy's cavalry.
