Chapter 45: The Sword Pointing East (5)
"Then you can only win by strength! In the first column, the tomahawk cavalry was dispatched,"
Randy gave the order, and the knights of the guards beside him continued to blow their horns.
The Norwegian army, with 400 men on each flank, and a total of 800 heavy cavalry rushed out, circled and rushed towards the main battlefield.
"Damn it!"
I had heard that the Norwegian knights were powerful and well-equipped, and they really lived up to their reputation when I saw them today.
As soon as Gustav gritted his teeth, he ordered the Finnish light cavalry on both flanks to go out and entangle the heavy cavalry of the opposing side, and the poor Finnish light cavalry, with a saber and leather armor, had to fight to the death with the heavily armored improved tomahawk cavalry.
At this time, the Finnish light cavalry was only 800, regardless of equipment, quantity, and combat effectiveness.
"Go on the offensive,"
Just when Randy thinks Gustav is running out of skills, but he still has 1,700 hoplites and a large hoplite reserve, the battlefield changes again.
The Swedish Nordic Guard, armed with two-handed tomahawks, shouted wildly and rushed to the cavalry battlefield on both flanks in a tsunami, quickly reversing the decline of the Finnish light cavalry.
"I see, cut off the charge with light cavalry, slow down, and strangle with two-handed tomahawks." Randy nodded, still unmoved.
"Second Formation!"
Another six hundred improved tomahawk cavalry rushed out from the flank, and rushed in a circle towards the opponent's flank.
"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! Where did he get so many cavalry? ”
Seeing another team of tomahawk cavalry roaring towards him, Gustav almost died of anger, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he ordered to send out his six hundred and fifty knights at the bottom of the box.
These are either aristocratic knights, or feudal knights directly under Gustav, or temporarily hired ranger knights, which are Gustav's biggest hole cards in this battle.
Originally, I thought that I would turn things around when the battle was at its most intense, but I didn't expect it to be used here in the end. 、
The two heavy cavalry teams collided on both wings, although the Swedish knights were more trained, but in terms of discipline, they were much worse than the improved tomahawk cavalry, and at the same time, in terms of equipment, although most of the knights were also equipped with heavy chain mail, but the main battle weapons they were equipped with were long swords and shields, which were extremely disadvantaged when fighting against the improved tomahawk cavalry, because the axes of the improved tomahawk cavalry were armor-piercing attributes, and often the tomahawk cavalry could cut off a layer of chain mail for the knights with an axe, and by the way, the knights suffered some internal injuries, and the knights cut down with a sword, Cut off at most one layer of chain mail.
But that's not all, Randy's 2,500 heavy cavalry is only 1,400, and there are 600 Norman elite knights, and 500 Field Orders are not dispatched.
"The third formation!"
Seeing that the two attacks were easily defused by the other party, Randy's face sank like water, still silent, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the third and final formation, a total of three hundred Norman elite knights and five hundred field orders, and a total of eight hundred elite heavy cavalry.
The entire frontal battlefield has been stretched to nearly seven kilometers, with Viking daredevils in the center engaged in fierce battles with shield spearmen, and on the outer flanks are dwarven spear formations, as well as Swedish Norse Tomahawk Guards and Viking warriors under Gustav who want to break through the array.
Further outside, there were tomahawk cavalry and Swedish knights, Finnish hussars, and the Nordic Guard.
It is impossible for these three formations of cavalry to continue to attack the flanks, tired and half dead in a big circle, the angry left wing knight chief's eyes are red, and he directly changes his fate, half of the knights and the field order come to the aid of the Tomahawk cavalry, and then take the remaining nearly fifty knights to rush towards the Chinese army array where Gustav is located.
The war has reached a white-hot situation, and Gustav really can't think of a reason, how did the other party raise so many heavily armed elite cavalry, and did his money blow in the wind?
At present, there is no cavalry under Gustav's command, and there is no military branch with quality requirements such as the super-long lance phalanx, and it is really reluctant to rely on the Viking infantry to carry the cavalry.
Looking more closely at the flank direction, the morale of the Tomahawk cavalry after receiving reinforcements has skyrocketed, and they have steadily suppressed the Finnish light cavalry and Swedish knights, while on their right flank, a cavalry unit rushed towards their position.
The terrain occupied by Gustav is quite good, and it happens to be a small mountain pack that is a branch of the Navian Mountains that traverses the whole of Scandinavia.
Although it is said to be a small hill, it is actually close to an average slope of more than 30 degrees and a height of dozens of meters, and it is quite difficult for the cavalry to succeed, and there are a large number of Viking warriors along the way.
When this group of cavalry rushed to the bottom of the mountain, there were no more than forty people left, and at least half of them were wounded, but it was this knight team, and the enemy soldiers killed and wounded along the way were at least three times as high as themselves, and they were all covered in blood, and their expressions were fierce and vicious, and they looked extremely terrifying.
"Bow and arrow!"
At Gustav's order, the Nordic archers armed with single bows came out of the ranks, and hundreds of archers shot at once.
A round of arrows fell, the knights shielded the face gate, no one was even injured, and the cavalry group continued to advance.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that the enemy's cavalry completely ignored the 30-degree slope, Gustav was a little panicked, he did have some reserves in his hands at present, but they were all tired divisions replaced by the frontal battlefield, and the entire hill pack was only two hundred heavily armed spear guards in addition to a dozen guards and knights, and if it really started, who would win and who would lose, the result was not yet known.
The Norman elite knights are getting closer and closer, and Gustav gritted his teeth and drew his sword!
Randy, who was holding a telescope on the other side, could see clearly, a blue light flashed away from the Swedish army, and then the physical strength of all the soldiers was actually restored in an instant, and at the same time, the morale was doubled!
Swedish Army (Screaming) / status on.
Randy nodded and withdrew his binoculars, and sent 5,000 infantry to replace the troops on the front line for a long time, which stabilized the crumbling front.
At the same time, with the blessing of Gustav's Nordic heroic stunts, more than two hundred Nordic spear guards around him, as well as the knights of the guards, quickly lined up in a circle one by one, surrounding Gustav in the middle, and the spear guards put a large shield nearly one person high and like a door panel on the ground, and then held a two-meter-long short spear with both hands, and looked at the entire circle in front of him with cold eyes that looked like a stunned hedgehog, which was the most common in the Middle Ages, and it was also the most inconvenient, the most inactive, the most passively beaten, the most two hundred and five, But against the cavalry is still a slightly more useful formation.
Before the Norman elite knights joined the gang, they were also ranger knights who robbed houses and robbed houses, and they had seen a lot of things in the north and south, and it was not unseen that such a hedgehog round formation had never seen it, and it had suffered losses before.
But before it was before and now it is now, before people wore tattered chain mail, held second-hand riding guns in their hands, and under their crotches were old horses like donkeys, living a half-starved and half-fed life.
And now?
Wearing the dwarven plate chain composite armor, a new overcoat, the knight is one level long, and even one-fifth of the material is silk, the barrel of the gun in his hand is the best apple wood, the tip of the gun is made of steel, and the war horse under the crotch is also a young horse specially bred, and the mouth is chewing white bread milled by the mill.
Now that the shotguns have been replaced, the momentum of the elite Norman knights is enough.
Something that didn't dare to hit up, like a wall, a tree, a big rock, and a circle of hedgehogs formed by the Nordic spearguards, also rushed up.
The morale of the small group of cavalry was at its highest point as several field priests shouted the name of the Lord, and the less than forty cavalrymen plunged headlong into the hedgehog circle, knocking over a group of enemies, ignoring the short spears that pierced from all sides, and slashed with their battle axes.
However, with the blessing of Gustav, the combat effectiveness of this group of Nordic spear guards rose very quickly, although a short spear could not kill the opponent, but it could make the cavalry stumble, and then the other guards soldiers swarmed up, and then ripped the knight off the horse, held down his arms and legs and pulled the helmet, and a dozen short spears stabbed down.
"Hiss......"
Randy on the other side looked in pain, and hurriedly took back the binoculars, there was no hope for this group of knights.
After the cavalry lost its mobility, it was like a cup in the face of a larger number of enemies, and it seemed that in the future of mountain warfare, it would have to think of some other way.
While the cavalry on the right flank charged fiercely, a total of 300 heavy cavalry on the left flank charged to the flank of the opponent's array according to Randy's orders, but because they could not stretch, most of the cavalry finally fell into the battle between the Tomahawk cavalry and the Swedish knights.
"Reserves, First Array, Second Array."
Randy saw a little confusion in the formation of the enemy army on the right flank of the battlefield, and immediately ordered to put 2,000 professional Viking warfare into the right flank.
On the other side, Gustav also gave the same order, and a large number of Viking warriors as reserves were filled, filling the gap in the entire left flank.
On both sides, you come and I often add a lot of firewood to the fire, Randy relies on the system's special horn method of issuing orders and binoculars, taking advantage of a lot of advantages, the speed of transmitting orders is extremely fast, and the army can always move one step faster than Gustav, so that the Randy army gradually gains the upper hand.
At this time, the sun has set in the west, the two armies have been fighting for a long time, Gustav's stunt effect has long been lost, the Swedish army on the opposite side is as tired as a dead dog, and the Norwegians are not much better, half an hour ago the tomahawk cavalry finally slaughtered the Finnish light cavalry, after the battle, this group of cavalry seems to be unable to run either men or horses, so in desperation, they will withdraw all the incomplete improved tomahawk cavalry, take off their armor and lie on the ground to rest.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Randy was very anxious, although he had the attribute of night fighting, and he was more powerful at night, but the ambush soldiers were not under his jurisdiction in the system, so there was no night combat bonus.
Looking at the battlefield, although the Swedish army did not show defeat, the battle lasted for a day, and the people were not iron-clad, which was a bit unbearable at this time, so Randy gritted his teeth and decided to send another army!
5:30 p.m. ......
There are no clocks or other timekeeping utensils at the moment, the corona is still lying in the east, and the hourglass is not suitable for carrying on the battlefield, but it doesn't matter, Randy has the almighty Enides.
Enides said it was 5:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m.
The battle on the outskirts of Oslo finally took a huge turn.
Before that, Randy took the initiative to cede the entire Black Forest region of Norway to facilitate the gallop of his elite heavy cavalry, and it was more convenient for him to move some small hands and feet.
Prior to this, Randy had dispatched cavalry troops three times.
The first eight hundred improved tomahawk cavalry......
The second six hundred improved tomahawk cavalry......
Three hundred Norman elite knights and three hundred field order priests.
The total number of the three is 2,000 people......
And the hoplites under Randy's command only had a total of 2,500 people.
The remaining 500 hoplites, as well as the 1,000 patrol cavalry newly recruited before the battle, had already made a detour back into the Black Forest behind the enemy three days earlier, and lurked in the forest terrain to wait for news.
"That's it!"
Randy nodded, looking at the sun as it was about to set, and sighed.
The remnant sun is like blood, and the scenery looks good, but Randy, who has a lot of blood, human heads, human hands, human legs, and human intestines, really feels a little sick to his stomach.
"It's finally time to make a move...... Ha ha!! ”
Hearing Randy's words, Artoria, who was napping with her eyes closed, shook her head and got up from her horse.
Randy really obeyed her, and even if she was virtuous before the battlefield, she could still sleep, not only could she sleep, but she also snored, and she really didn't know how to complain about her.
"Execute the final plan!"
The Guards Knights quickly executed the order, this time not the fifty Guards Knights together, but Randy and the one hundred and fifty Guards Knights under Artoria's command.
The melodious sound of the horn sounded......
Outside the battlefield, after being bitten by mosquitoes in the Black Forest for a day, the whole person was sleepy, and the knight and the Field Order immediately got up after hearing the signal, quickly turned over their horses, and rushed out of the Black Forest.
Gustav stood on a small hill, a branch of the Scandinavian mountains, with a 35-degree slope and a dense Black Forest behind the slope, a total of 500 hoplites condescendingly like bamboos, but did not entangle Gustav's hedgehog circle too much, but divided into two ways, outflanked and charged directly at the back of the Swedish army.
"Damn! Why does he still have cavalry? ”
Gustav on the other side almost turned his back in anger, and the Nordic lion finally understood a truth, don't compare assets with rich people, because there is really no such capital.
He had spent a lot of money to maintain 600 knights and 1,500 Finnish light cavalry, and Randy's army was more than 20,000 people, each with a pair of armor.
What is a popping chrysanthemum?
A total of 500 cavalry were divided into five columns, like waves of the sea, wave after wave, and so on, and so on, and the repetition of the cycle made the Swedes who had exhausted their physical strength lose their armor in less than half an hour.
Frontal Randy gave the order again, and the knights of the Guards blew their horns again.
The Viking warriors on the frontal battlefield also rushed over, and Randy drew his command knife and shouted:
"All the troops are attacking!"
The skill Hades Scream is also unknowingly enveloping the entire battlefield.
