Chapter 202: Hold on and Wait for Help

The impact of the centaur is even more powerful than Artoria imagined!

The centaurs were killed on the spot as if they had committed suicide against the shield wall and hairy tips, but the powerful impact knocked away many Celtic heavy spearmen, and then the centaurs armed with great axes and long knives swarmed through the breach, ignoring the defenses, wildly wielding two-handed weapons that were several sizes larger than human weapons, slashing and slashing, widening the gap.

These gaps widened, eventually leading to the collapse of the entire front, with centaurs and nomads swarming in, some continuing to attack the Celtic hoplites who had been isolated by the broken lines and forming a hedgehog circle back-to-back, while others continued to charge towards the second array.

"Damn, you can't go on like this!"

Artoria scolded that these centaurs were powerful shock cavalry when they charged, and even more powerful two-handed infantry in hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing the lethality of the Celtic shield wall against the cavalry, Ayuj Khan immediately ordered a change in the way of combat, the centaurs gave up the charge and moved slowly instead, sticking to engage in melee combat with the Celtic heavy spearmen, these monsters armed with long-handled battle axes, two-handed axes, two-handed broadswords, or scimitars that could slash weapons with great strength were also quite good in melee hand-to-hand combat, Artoria was sure that even the dwarven long-handled axe warriors she had seen, or the Norman assault infantry, None of them have such thrilling horror and lethality.

In melee combat, the centaurs were almost unstoppable, and the nomadic soldiers quickly reacted to the fact that they shouldn't be dragging their allies back now, so they all broke away from the rear of the battlefield and formed a new group of light cavalry to slaughter the hussars who were slaughtering the hussars on both flanks of the array.

"It seems that the light archers make up too much of the army......"

Artoria held a telescope and looked into the distance, frowning.

There are usually more troops fighting on the front lines than in the rear, but Randy's military reform stipulates that each light cavalry regiment must be equipped with 3,000 hussars and 2,000 archers, in fact, this ratio is somewhat unreasonable, and a large number of light archers in the melee are not adequately protected, and they have to be put into battle, and they are inferior in equipment than hussars, and their melee performance is also very unsatisfactory.

But this was enough, a 5,000-strong light cavalry corps against a scattered nomadic light cavalry of less than 20,000 men, such a balance of strength was still in favor of the Normans.

General Joseph ran and shouted on the front line, commanding the light cavalry to charge continuously, and when the number was less than half of the opponent's, he forcibly tore the opponent's array into several pieces, and then concentrated the relatively superior forces and annihilated them.

The battle on the two flanks was carried out with the absolute superiority of the Normans, and the amazing combat effectiveness of the Norman hussars made the Cumans fearful, and some of the timid Cumans even fled in confusion because of this, and the battle situation on the two flanks was at a disadvantage, forcing the centaur Kuman army to divide a part of its forces to support the two wings, but in this way, the intensity of the attack on the front would be sharply reduced.

"The formation looks inappropriate, if we can add some more troops and attack around the flank...... Ayujie Khan muttered to himself, sending messengers to tell the other Cuman Khans who were now attacking Moscow, asking them to lead their troops to support.

However, the returning envoy told Ayujie that the Cuman khans were currently concentrating all their forces to attack Moscow, and that they had no time and spare troops, and that he needed to figure out his own way.

After hearing this, Ayujie Khan scolded: "What a group of incompetent waste, just thinking about how to rob after breaking the city, I would have gathered more centaur warriors if I knew it!" ”

At this moment, although some centaur warriors were dispatched to support the two wings, the pressure on the second line of defense of the frontal Celts was reduced a lot, but the wild attack of the centaurs still made the Celtic heavy contradictory soldiers feel difficult to support, when those red-eyed centaur warriors were stuck with more than a dozen arrows all over their bodies, half of their arms were cut off, and even their intestines were rotten, and they still insisted on fighting with brute strength, I believe that the vast majority of people will feel fear.

"Weird...... Monster! ”

Seeing a half-cut intestine and a centaur with a fierce light rushing towards him, several Celtic soldiers finally broke down and turned around to flee with a wail.

"Don't go, go back to fighting!"

Artoria gritted her teeth and separated the longbowmen behind the third and second lines, and with a swing of the Sword of Victory and Pact, she sliced a deserter in two.

"Whoever dares to escape, Lone will kill whoever he wants! Think of your relatives in Britain if they were to learn that you had escaped. ”

As soon as these half-threatening and half-encouraging words were shouted, the Celtic soldiers on the front line also had to grit their teeth and continue to fight, the British Empire was similar to the Norman Empire, the laws were harsh, the management was strict, one joined the army and the whole family was honored, and one deserter suffered the whole family.

Of course, this threat alone is not enough, Artoria feels that the role of commanding in the second line at this moment will not be too big, and gritted her teeth and ordered the knight: "Forward!" ”

The strongest soldier in the Norman army today, the guards knights who are covered in heavy plate armor and hold a one-handed halberd, a multi-functional weapon that can be chopped and pierced, can pierce and pierce, all entered the battlefield with Artoria's order, and the Celtic queen and Norman queen Artoria rushed to the front of them. Fighting the centaurs together, these terrifying monsters that have been smooth sailing since the beginning of the war, almost crushing the entire battlefield, encountered a terrifying opponent who could easily slaughter them for the first time.

The armor of the Guards Knights is a three-millimeter-thick metallurgical improvement of heavy plate armor, even the large arquebuses of the Enlightenment era can hardly penetrate this armor, not to mention the shoddy weapons in the hands of the centaurs, the strong and flexible armor can minimize the brute force of the opponent, and the Guard Knights also know what to do to minimize their damage, but these must be based on the fact that they are not hit.

Although they were wrapped in heavy armor all over their bodies, the skills of these guard knights were completely unaffected, and they were still able to complete a series of actions such as blocking, dodging, and so on with extraordinary flexibility.

This is the advantage of plate armor, the weight is evenly distributed all over the body, rather than like the scale armor, all by the shoulders and neck to bear the weight, and the heavy hem skirt armor will affect the wearer's mobility, so the plate armor is the best and most suitable armor compared to it, especially the plate armor that has been improved many times in the later period.

At the same time, these have amazing defense, which makes the centaur warrior exclaim: "These tin men can't be killed at all." ”

The attack power of the guard knights is also very terrifying, they systematically learn the human body structure, they know the weaknesses of human beings well, even if there are some mistakes in the fight against centaurs, but the important organs of the human body are basically concentrated in the upper body, this common sense is absolutely right, so every attack of the guard knights can often be fatal with one move, and even sometimes, the centaurs attacked by these guard knights do not look big from the outside, but in fact, the body has become a mess.

"These tin men are weird!"

"Most of them are magical, so you have to call a shaman to come and see it!"

When the centaurs became suspicious after dropping hundreds of corpses, and their morale began to drop, the knights of the guards took the opportunity to divide into smaller units and swim around like firefighters in groups of ten, and immediately pounced on the centaurs when they saw the most severe attack from the centaurs.

The front began to solidify thanks to the efforts of the Guards Knights, who carried the white phoenix banner and the red dragon banner that also encouraged the Celtic heavy spearmen and boosted their morale.

Unlike these guard knights' artistic style of play, their commander Artoria was very violent, and even made the centaurs who could also be called violent warriors feel ashamed, Artoria took the lead in rushing to the forefront, the distinctive black armor, special magic patterns and different faces, immediately attracted the attention of several centaur warriors, nomads have no chivalry, one-on-one is not to think, several centaur warriors looked at each other and attacked at the same time, two spears one left and one right, slashing towards Artoria.

In this situation, Artoria did not dodge or dodge, clenched the sword of victory and contract with both hands, shouted a horizontal slash, swept out a semicircle, and defused the combined attack of the five centaurs at that time.

As soon as Artoria made a move, the unparalleled terrifying power surprised the centaurs known for their strength, and the centaurs holding spears on the left and right felt slightly better, and the sharp sword of the victory contract directly cut off their spear shafts, so the power they felt was not great, but the three centaurs holding scimitar battle axes in front felt as if they were slashing on a large piece of pig iron, and their wrists were shocked by the huge force, and they involuntarily took a step back.

"Is this guy really human?" Several centaurs looked at the little girl, who was at least three heads shorter than them, and couldn't help but think like this, but before they could think about it, Artoria on the opposite side had already begun to attack.

I saw her body slip, to the side, and with a wave of the long sword in her hand, she cut the centaur on the left in half, and before the other centaurs could react, she roared and rushed forward.

"Damn it!" Several centaurs reacted, swinging their axes and slashing at Artoria.

Artoria twisted her waist, a little to the ground, dodging the scimitar on the left and the battle axe in the middle, the long sword waved, the blade was impartial, and hit the gap caused by the battle axe when it hit the previous swing again, only to hear a click, the nearly ten-kilogram two-handed battle axe was broken in two at once, the centaur warrior's hand loosened, his body suddenly lost his balance and leaned forward, and a black big sword in his sight got closer and closer, and then he didn't know anything.

"Damn!"

Artoria's constant attacks completely angered the remaining centaurs, and the three centaurs quickly changed their positions and slashed at Artoria from three different angles.

Spears, scimitars, tomahawks, and simultaneous attacks, leaving little room for Artoria to dodge, it was a sure blow, and under such an attack, the centaur warrior was sure that this hateful little girl would die an ugly death, but the truth was beyond everyone's expectations.

Artoria, who was wearing a very heavy plate armor, jumped up, jumped nearly a meter high on the ground, landed on the barrel of a centaur's gun, and then jumped to a height roughly equal to the position of the centaur's head and kicked a sweep, and then heard three clicks of broken bones, and when he looked at it, the heads of the three centaurs were strangely twisted, and the lifeless corpses fell to the ground softly, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

After just a few minutes, there were dozens of steaming and mutilated centaur corpses under Artoria's feet, a large amount of blood seeping into the ground, staining the snow dark red, and Artoria's armor and face were also covered with blood, which looked very hideous.

"Huh...... Hehehe...... Hahahaha! But that's it! After laughing hysterically, Artoria raised the Sword of Victory and Pact with one hand, pointing at the circle around the centaur warriors who did not dare to step forward, but did not dare to retreat.

"Who else?"

No one dared to step forward, on the contrary, they were forced to take a few steps back by this terrifying momentum.

On the hillside, Ayujie Khan shook his head: "It's so embarrassing. ”

I wonder if this sentence is talking about centaurs, or who is it talking about?

"Khan, you're pretty good too, why don't you ......"

"I am the Khan of Kalmykia, and my place is not there." Ayujie Khan said coldly.

If you have such depth, you will be in awe of the centaurs around you, and if Randy is here at this moment, it will definitely have a strong resonance.

"And...... Isn't there another way to deal with this kind of guy? ”

Artoria's actions caused a panic in the centaurs, these warriors had never seen a human, an extremely inconspicuous human, possess such terrifying strength that could destroy a centaur hundred, this unimaginable feeling made some centaurs feel like they were about to collapse.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from among the centaurs: "Bow and arrow! Bow and arrow! ”

The centaur suddenly realized, and suddenly felt that the bow and arrow that was originally listed as a weak weapon by the centaur was so cute, although the centaur had a bow and arrow tradition, but for a long time, the bow and arrow only existed as a hunting tool rather than a weapon, and the centaur who advocated hand-to-hand combat believed that whether it was using a bow and arrow to kill the enemy in battle, or being killed by a bow and arrow, it was an insult to the centaur's martial spirit, and they liked another throwing weapon more than the bow and arrow, the javelin.

The vast majority of centaur warriors took pride in obtaining a fine javelin, and it was not until Ayujie Khan came to power that he popularized the bow and arrow, and equipped his own soldiers and himself with sophisticated compound bows.

For a moment, this sentence enlightened the centaurs, and they didn't care about how unbearable the people who laughed at the people who said such things were, the centaurs armed with bows and arrows immediately opened their bows and arrows, and the centaurs armed with javelins also moved quickly, and then in a buzzing sound, hundreds of javelins and arrows were fired at Artoria.

"That's what it sounds like!"

Ayujie Khan said on the hill, it seems that the other methods he had mentioned before were referring to this.

Looking at the large number of arrows and javelins in the sky, Artoria did not dodge, and the centaurs were ready to laugh and cheer that the monster was shot into a sieve, but Artoria was completely unimpressed, and the cursed armor effect automatically opened, forming an invisible barrier around Artoria, ricocheting all javelin arrows away.

"Blame! Monster! ”

Seeing that bows and javelins could not hurt Artoria, the centaurs finally collapsed in fear, and they shouted like this, turned and ran, making the centaurs around them inevitably waver.

"Long live Her Royal Highness!"

"Long live Her Majesty!"

Watching Artoria's miraculous performance, the morale of the Celtic Norman army was like a rainbow, and the offensive and defensive momentum changed again, Artoria raised the sword in her hand and showed a victor's smile.

"Attack! Celt! ”

"Attack! Normans! ”

"Victory belongs to us, the heavy cavalry attack, the thunder swordsman attack, attack in full force, and kill all these centaurs."

The knights of the guards beside Artoria immediately left their opponents, drew their horns, and played them continuously, and the knights of the guards who heard this sound around them responded one after another, and this low and powerful sound was heard throughout the battlefield.

In the Norman Celtic military ordinances, this sound has only one meaning!

All-out offensive !!!!
