Chapter 520: The duel between the knights
The Duke of Vallar is slowly rallying his knights and preparing to charge to change the tide of battle.
At this time, the Chinese armies on both sides began a battle that was far more brutal than the previous battle.
After all, the Red Dragon Guards are elite soldiers who have taken medicines, and their military positions have been passed down from generation to generation, and like the knights, they have to undergo harsh training since childhood, until their combat effectiveness surpasses that of their parents, they will really inherit all the military positions and armor of the Red Dragon Guards and become a member of the Red Dragon Guards.
Therefore, the Red Dragon Guards are no different from the knights except for the war horses that do not have knights, and even because of the potions, their ability in foot combat far exceeds that of the foot knights.
The halberd in their hands is like a scythe of death at this time, constantly harvesting the enemy's life, every swing of the halberd will set off a burst of blood, either directly say that the enemy's body is pierced, or the enemy's throat is cut, the scene is very bloody.
And the enemy has also caused a lot of damage to the Red Dragon Guards, although they are highly skilled, how can they have an airtight defense on the battlefield?
There will always be times when people make mistakes, and although their armor is excellent, it is actually no different from the armor of hundreds of years ago, and the slash of a long sword may not be fatal to them.
But the piercing damage of spears and swords, as well as the heavy weight of the battle axes, were enough to inflict fatal damage on the Red Dragon Guards.
Even if they took the strengthening potion, they would be dwarfed by the multi-faceted blows.
The soldiers on both sides are elite, far from being comparable to the previous battle on the two wings, the soldiers on both sides are in formation, constantly pressing towards the enemy, and both sides are engaged in a tug-of-war in the array.
Arthur looked at the battle situation in front of him from behind, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, although he was not too happy, but now it seemed that the balance of the battle situation was obviously tilted in his favor.
However, he also had a keen strategic eye, and he kept an eye on where the Duke of Valar was, watching his every move.
He had already noticed the movement of the enemy knights, and once the enemy used the knights to break his formation, then even if his own knights annihilated the local knights in the subsequent battle, it would not be able to turn the tide of the battle.
Arthur immediately rallied the dragon prince's cavalry, as well as his own knights, and sent a message to Noven to join the charge with the Iron Cross knights.
Knight Norvin also noticed the movements of the Duke of Vallar, and in such a dangerous battlefield, the slightest omission would lead to the danger of destruction.
Although this was the first time he had led his troops independently, he still had a strategic vision, and watching the Duke of Vallar gather his knights, he immediately knew what the other party wanted to do.
So he prepared the Iron Cross Knights early in the morning, and when Arthur's heralds arrived, he immediately ordered the Iron Cross Knights' co-captain to lead the knights to Arthur's dispatch.
After all, he is the commander of the left flank phalanx, he can't charge at the front line, and it is his responsibility to command the troops to fight and exert greater strength.
The Captain of the Iron Cross Knights, a knightly officer known as the Knights of the Holy Lance, led two hundred heavily armed knights to Arthur's side.
They all held four-meter-long riding spears in their hands, and the armor they wore was inconvenient, still the inner lining of leather and cotton armor, as well as the chain mail scale armor and the piercing armor on the chest.
As for the newly forged plate armor, the number was extremely rare, and even the knights of the Inner Mansion were not equipped, and they still wore the half-piece cuirass of the previous one.
But even if they didn't change their outfits, this equipment was extremely superior on the entire battlefield.
Even the Knights of the Holy Grail of a wing led by Ken Led, who helped the Duke of Valral's side, were slightly inferior in equipment compared to the Knights of the Iron Cross.
All the knights were assembled, with the vanguard of the Iron Cross at the front, and the middle and rear parts by the dragon prince's cavalry and the ordinary knights on Arthur's Island, respectively.
Both sides must put the most elite knights at the front of the ranks, because when both sides charge each other, if one of them is defeated, it will affect the whole situation and lead to the loss of the battle.
The Duke of Vallar's team was ready, he could clearly see the situation on this side from there, he had seen the assembly of knights on Arthur's side.
Arthur's reason for putting the Iron Cross Knights at the front was not to use them as cannon fodder, but to put them in a wall-charging formation.
When he was loyal to William, he had seen the Knights of the Iron Cross charge against the wall, and this formation against the same cavalry as himself was still fresh in his memory, and he left a deep impression on his heart.
Therefore, in order to be on the safe side, he hoped that he would be able to face the enemy's wedge formation with this advantageous formation during the charge for a while.
After all, this kind of wall charge formation can only be posed by the Iron Cross Knights, or rather, in the entire continent, the wall charge is unique.
The Duke of Valar was a little curious when he saw the enemy put on such a strange formation, and he did not despise him because he could not understand this formation.
At this moment of deciding the fate of the future, it is impossible for Arthur to casually put out a child's play formation, this formation must have his role and deep meaning.
He was a scheming man who had planned the throne of the Kingdom of Camelot, and at such a critical juncture, he would never despise his opponent, even if he was only his nephew, a sixteen-year-old boy.
The knights were ready, and he was ready for Ken Rader to lead the Knights of the Holy Grail and his direct knights, a total of nine hundred knights, to fight.
The war horses under the crotches of the knights kept snorting, and the horses' hooves were also the sound of titi trampling, as the war horses that charged into battle, they were very bloody.
They can't wait to rush out with their masters, kicking them with their hooves and biting them with their teeth.
Ken Ride held the banner representing the Knights of the Holy Grail upward, shouting, "Knights of the Holy Grail!" Charge! ”
His command to charge pierced the heavens and the earth like a bolt of lightning, and the nine hundred knights moved in an instant.
Nine hundred horses carrying nearly a hundred weights launched a mountain charge, their hooves like thunder in the sky, and let out their most terrible roar.
As the charge began, their Masu gradually improved, from the first slow roar to a terrifying thunder like a raging storm.
On the other side, the 800 knights with the Iron Cross Knights as the vanguard also launched a charge.
The Knights of the Iron Cross were at the forefront, and their formation was extremely neat, with the heads of almost every horse marching in unison.
The spacing between the rows is also very small, and they will have the advantage in the next hit.
