Chapter 127: Hold on to the Heights

"Wait!" At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in the mind of the Earl of Censville, and he opened his mouth to speak.

"Let our soldiers not retreat, continue the attack, stick to the enemy's infantry!"

The Earl of Censville had a great IQ at this time, since the number of knights on his side was inferior to that of the other party, why not just use the tactic of mixing infantry to make the enemy's knight numerical advantage unusable?

If the enemy's infantry dared to retreat quickly, a one-sided slaughter awaited them, and the tactics that William had thought of at the beginning became their limiting tactics at this point.

"Let the knights dismount and join the ranks of the infantry, we must defeat the enemy's main force as soon as possible!" The Earl of Conceville commanded the knight beside him with a smug expression.

"That's right! The high ground in the north has not been captured, and there is Viscount Kewen in the south, they are responsible for not worrying, the high ground in the north is stationed on the enemy's Baron William, this is a difficult character! ”

The Earl of Consville looked at the fierce battle on the northern highlands and said, "If you don't conquer anywhere, it is very likely that the enemy's knights will rush down from there!" ”

"Let the knights who dismount and so on, go to support the northern highlands to fight, we can't give the enemy a chance, we must not lose this war!" The Earl of Cousinville stroking the jewel set in the sword and swearing.

"Yes, sir! The knights will join the battle for the northern heights within ten minutes. After the knight was called back by the earl, he hastened to show his understanding.

"William, it seems that the enemy's knights have also joined the ranks of the infantry battle, and the enemy's follow-up reinforcements can also be seen from the rear!" Norwin and the knights, as well as the heavy cavalry, did not join the battle, if they fought, they would definitely charge downward, so the possibility of total annihilation was very high, so it was the infantry who fought on the battlefield.

William followed Norwen's finger and found that the enemy knights had dismounted, and some of the knights in full armor began to charge on the high ground in the middle of the armed infantry, it seemed that they wanted to conquer the high ground quickly.

More than twenty knights began to attack, and only half of the knights were left by the nobles' side to take care of their own safety.

"Let the soldiers be on their guard!" William muttered for a moment, then said.

After all, he has no other hole cards in his hand except for knights and heavy cavalry, and twenty knights are not a force that can immediately turn the situation around, at most, twenty experienced heavy infantry have been added to the place, so that the heavy cavalry and the Golden Lion Guards have found opponents.

Having said that, these one hundred and fifty Manders infantry plus nearly thirty heavy infantry had to face the enemy's armed infantry of more than four hundred people, and this time more than twenty knights came, which was indeed overstretched.

As the commander of the heavy infantry, Banshtesk must be on the front line of the battlefield, he is 1.9 meters tall, with a two-handed battle axe, and he is wearing a double layer of armor, a composite armor of chain mail and scale armor.

Only he can wear such equipment, and maybe he can wear it after the Golden Lion Guards have finished training, but so far he is the only one who can get this treatment.

His height and heavy armor made him look like a mythical minotaur, and he used his two-handed battle axe with great skill, and with a wave of his hand, one of the enemy's armed infantry was thrown out with blood and fell to the ground.

"Heavy infantry assemble! Crush them! He wears a bottle helmet on his head, such a helmet has a very strong defensive power, but the dead angle is relatively large, and his voice has become an urn, but there is an inexplicable deterrent.

The armored vehicles on the battlefield, the heavy infantry, are about to show their power at this time.

The slightly scattered heavy infantry and the Golden Lion Guards rallied under his orders, armed with round shields and battle axes in their hands, or maces snatched from the enemy, in a formation common to the heavy infantry - the shield wall.

After all, the Golden Lion Guards are better than ordinary heavy infantry in terms of physique, so every one or two heavy infantry is interspersed with a Golden Lion Guard, which is also to strengthen the cohesion of the team.

Seeing the gathering of more than 30 heavy infantry, the other side also began to panic, and the armed infantry broke away from the melee with the Manders infantry one after another, and began to form a formation.

The knights of the other side also returned to the queue very cautiously, leaning against their knight comrades, aiming their long swords and maces and other weapons at the enemy, ready for battle.

Banstesk stood in the middle and began to stand still, so that the soldiers could keep up with him and not become scattered in the melee.

The heavy infantry followed him and began to stand still, and gradually, the footsteps converged into a neat footstep, and seeing that the ranks were in order, Banshtesk began to advance, heading towards the enemy's array.

Although the heavy infantry began to attack, the ordinary Manders infantry did not immediately follow, after all, they were not under the jurisdiction of Banstersk, but directly under the command of Lord Baron, and if they wanted to make any moves, they had to have William's permission.

A dozen officers began to look in William's direction, waiting for William's order.

"Blow the rallying trumpet, hit the phalanx flag, blow and then blow the trumpet of the march!! William issued a series of orders, which were hurriedly carried out by the flag bearers and trumpeters around him.

"Hurry, hurry! Assemble, assemble, form a phalanx and prepare to follow the hoplites! "These officers are all veterans who have survived a hundred battles, most of them are his first batch of soldiers, and he usually instills some of the overall situation on the battlefield intentionally or unintentionally, so these officers are still somewhat conscious.

A minute later, the Manders infantry had assembled and formed a tight formation, and began to march forward under the uniform whistle of the officers.

Finally, the hoplites collided with the enemy knights, and the king of foot combat and the dismounted master of the battlefield began the fiercest duel.

The battle between them appeared to be quite violent, and they were all highly trained troops, and at this time they were as evenly matched as the tip of the needle.

The knights were trained from an early age, and their fighting skills did surpass that of the heavy infantry, but the weapons in their hands were not as good as the heavy infantry, which emphasized lethality, and held most of the tomahawks and maces.

And the knights are because of tradition, economic restrictions, and different types of troops, most of the hammers and long swords they hold are hammers and long swords, and after this kind of knight sword gets off the horse, the armor-piercing ability is not strong.

In many cases, it is not possible to penetrate the armor of the heavy infantry at one time, which is the reason why the heavy infantry are not as skilled as the knights, but they can fight evenly matched.

The two-handed battle axe in Banstersk's hand was quite heavy, and under a series of heavy blows, the enemy finally showed his flaw, and he grabbed it, and at once it turned on the knight's left rib.

Needless to say, with the two-handed battle axe and his strength, even if there is a layer of cotton armor in the chain mail, it is useless, and if he is reincarnated several meters at once, he is already certain to die.
