Chapter 519: Fierce Battlefield

The Duke of Vallar's gaze was like a goshawk half sharply looking at the battle situation below, with the approach of the middle army and the right flank, the battle situation has reached a critical moment, if Arthur's army can block it, then the last hole card duel between the two sides is needed.

That's the duel between the knights.

Both sides knew that once the large-scale army battle reached a stalemate, then the knights would need to open the situation, and the winner of the knight duel would be the final winner of the war.

However, the Duke of Vallar was confident that his army was too large to be withstood by the enemy, and even if he saw the powerful Dülenburg army, he only intended to let the soldiers hold back the Dülenburg army.

After all, the main force of his troops was in the middle army, and as long as his middle army could crush the enemy's center army before the collapse of the right flank, then the war would be won.

He did not doubt that the mercenaries on the right flank would be able to hold back the Denlenburg army, which was more than 2,000 men, much larger than the Denlenburg army.

Although mercenaries are called a rabble, they are only small mercenary groups, and large-scale mercenary groups are often synonymous with courage and skill.

And the three mercenary groups hired by Vallar with hundreds or thousands of people are no longer small-scale.

Although it can't be compared with those super mercenary groups in the middle of the continent, it is also quite useful, after all, those mercenary groups are called warlords.

Arthur did not let the soldiers advance, but only asked the soldiers to be in place and ready for battle.

The sound of a thick trombone sounded around Arthur, and dozens of trumpeters blew brass trumpets.

The soldiers were all in full formation, and the sword and shield soldiers at the front of the Dengrenburg infantry had already bowed down slightly, tilted their shields slightly, clenched the long sword in their hands, and made a fighting posture with muscles in their bodies.

The spearmen behind them also leaned forward slightly, the tip of the spear had extended two meters out of the team, and the sharp tip of the spear half a meter long was shining in the sunlight, and the cold light was dotted.

Almost everyone is shoulder to shoulder with their teammates, very close, which also makes their formation extremely stable.

There were three rows of pikemen with their spears extended to the protection of the sword and shield soldiers, and once one of them was killed, the soldiers behind them would quickly fill in the gap, so that the flawless formation would not be flawed.

The formation of a steel hedgehog created a great deterrent effect on the enemy, and behind the soldiers, there was a brigade of four hundred archers.

They stuck the arrows in their quivers into the ground as early as the order was given, which made it easier for them to shoot and fire faster.

And the 1,200 Red Dragon Guards wearing ancient armor and gold dragon coat of arms on a red background also clenched the halberds in their hands and waited for them.

In comparison, Arthur's Chinese army was much thinner than that of the Duke of Vallar, after all, this was more than twice the difference.

The Duke of Vallar's Chinese army numbered more than 4,000 men, while Arthur's Chinese army consisted of only 400 archers, in addition to the 1,200 Red Dragon Guards.

This was a huge gap, and in addition to his extreme trust in the combat effectiveness of the Red Dragon Guards, he also believed in the combat effectiveness of the Denlenburg army.

After all, when he was under William, he had indeed seen the combat effectiveness of the Denlenburg army, which made him trust the Denlenburg army very much.

He was betting, he was betting that the Red Dragon Guard would be able to withstand an attack of nearly three times his own army.

At the same time, they were betting that the Denlenburg army would be able to quickly crush the mercenaries and then outflank the enemy from the enemy's flank.

Not only Arthur was gambling, but the Duke of Valar was also gambling, he was betting that the Chinese army would be able to quickly defeat the enemy, and he was also betting that the mercenaries would be able to hold back the Denlenburg army.

In fact, war is a huge gamble, and gamblers put the fate of a family and even a country as a bet in this big casino.

The winner gains glory and everything he wants, while the loser loses everything, his family, his fame, his honor, and even his life!

Kings, nobles, knights, and even soldiers of this era gambled on their fate.

The Duke of Vallar's army kept approaching Arthur's side.

He was not calm at this time, and the indifference on the surface could not relieve the tension in his heart.

After all, it was a fateful war, and he wasn't sure he would win.

At this time, the right flank of the Duke of Vallar was already less than one hundred and fifty meters away from the army of Denlenburg.

However, Norwen had not yet given the order to shoot, so the archers did not shoot.

Looking at the enemy in front of him, who was trying to get the newspaper team intact, Noven lifted his movable visor and shouted at the archers not far away, "Shoot!" ”

The brigade commanders of the archers also gave the order quickly, and they pulled out the arrows from the ground, put them on the bowstring, and then pulled the heavy upper bowstring apart.

"Put!" The archer's brigade commander shouted.

"Search Search ......"

The overwhelming array of arrows buzzed through the air like flying locusts, covering a stretch of the sky, spanning a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, and falling into the midst of the enemy.

Many of these mercenaries were wearing shields, but there were also some who did not have shields, and these 400 arrows directly caused more than 100 deaths and more than 100 injuries to the enemy.

The mercenaries were slightly shocked, they had never seen a bow of this power before.

In the past, they encountered very few archers, and they were used to disrupt the enemy's formation, not to kill or injure the enemy.

But it was clear that these archers in front of them were different, and it was simply terrifying to inflict such casualties in one shot, which cast a shadow over the hearts of the enemy.

The commander of the archer brigade kept shouting loudly, and at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters they fired five rounds of arrows, which directly inflicted a heavy price on the enemy of more than 400 dead and more than 500 wounded.

More than 2,000 mercenaries and five rounds of arrows directly scrapped nearly half of the enemy's troops.

And when they get closer, the archers should be able to shoot a round of arrows.

The Duke of Valar saw the battle situation here clearly in the rear, and Arthur also saw the situation here.

The two sides were in very different moods, and the Duke of Vallar was shocked that if this situation continued, the right flank of the army responsible for delaying Denlenburg would collapse before the Chinese army could crush the enemy.

Arthur was overjoyed by this, and the combat effectiveness of the Denlenburg army was indeed the same as he imagined, and he directly killed and injured half of the enemy's combat strength before he could engage in close combat.

The Duke of Vallar immediately made a decision and said to Ken Rider next to him: "Captain Ken Ryder, our knights must attack the enemy!" Look at our right wing, it's already on the verge of collapse! ”

"So this time our target is the left flank of the enemy! As long as they are defeated, our Chinese army will be able to quickly defeat the enemy and win this war! ”
