That's it, good leaders make good use of everything, whether it's good or bad, and pointing to a deer as a horse is one of the skills they use most often and are best at. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info And now, although Count Xiao Tang has not yet reached the point where the thick-skinned walls of those legendary rulers cannot be broken, but he can say that a bad thing can be said to be a good thing, which can be regarded as a kind of progress.

When the soldiers listened to such a passionate and affectionate speech by Count Xiao Tang, they were naturally all excited, their eyes widened, and they all looked like they had sworn not to live and die with the enemy -- after all, in these years, no one has seen the world, and ordinary peasants have generally never left their homes for a hundred miles, so they are very foolish. What's more, what Count Tang said is indeed reasonable, everyone's little life is good, seeing that the future is getting better and better, you suddenly come over to burn and loot, who do you hate if you don't hate?

So under such emotional agitation, the speed of the march was greatly increased, of course, Count Xiao Tang still controlled it within a certain range, so that the soldiers could not exhaust their physical strength. And let the soldiers accumulate their anger, as if they were fighting the king of boxing, and they can also release a max super kill when they hold it to the extreme - of course, this must be controlled, once it is excessive, it will damage the morale of the soldiers.

Then, time passed quickly, and when it was dark the next day, Count Tang hurried and finally arrived at the predetermined battlefield, on the wasteland.

Because it arrived at night, Duke Ed's plan to suddenly attack while Count Tang was unstable was also bankrupt, after all, at night, as I said before, most of the soldiers in this era have night blindness, plus most of them have not undergone any rigorous training, and if something happens a little, they may blow up the camp, and at that time it was a joke for the ages.

Moreover, even at night, even after a march of great intensity, the army of the Count of Little Tang was still strictly disciplined, and the ultra-long pikemen were composed of eleven people, forming a small squad in a row, stretching continuously, and the veterans wearing chain mail were at the far left end of the line, holding torches in their hands, and from a distance they looked like a long snake of flames.

Behind the pikemen, there is a strong array of sword and shield soldiers, who serve as the flanks of the guarding pikemen, as well as the troops that take on hand-to-hand combat at critical moments, so their training is not weaker than that of the pikemen, and their equipment is better than that of the pikemen - the pikemen are spears and a set of leather armor, and the sword and shield soldiers also have an iron and wooden shield for each person.

On both sides of the whole army, there were light cavalry running back and forth, they were both heralds and people who maintained order, and the orders of the little Count Tang depended on them to spread, in case there was any emergency in the army, they also needed to be appeased, these light cavalry also had torches in their hands, and the soldiers behind knew where they should go when they saw the light in their hands.

His tail dragged a third of the stars in the sky and fell to the ground. Revelation 12:4"

At that time, when Duke Ed saw the army in front of him, such an idea popped up in his mind, he was different from Archduke Mulchid, he was younger, so he had more ideas, so he knew more about military affairs, so he clearly knew what kind of combat effectiveness such a strict and well-lined army had.

For the first time, Duke Ed regretted it a little.

But the war is already at hand, whether it is the enemy's army or its own army, they are ready, sharpen their sharp teeth, and wait to tear the other side in half! In such a situation, even if Duke Ed hesitated, there was nothing he could do.

"But it doesn't matter, I have more soldiers than his, I have more cavalry than his, and my command skills are better than his—probably, in that case, then I have absolutely no reason to lose, I just need to be mentally healthy today, and then meet tomorrow's victory."

That's it, Duke Ed kept telling himself in his heart that only when he was brave could his soldiers be braver.

Then he turned around, and with an exaggerated, mocking smile, he made a loud sarcasm at the 'cowardice' and 'incompetence' of the army of the Earl of Don, and even when he marched into battle, he had to 'hold the rope like a shepherd, and tie the sheep together to prevent them from escaping', without the bravery and fearlessness of the Celtic warriors - do you believe it? The Celts, the majority of the barbarians, regarded the free charge as a symbol of bravery, and despised uniform formations as something that the weaker needed - and they had no long memory, though they had suffered great losses in such an army.

When Duke Ed said such a thing, he immediately made the knights around him laugh, wantonly laughing at the cowardice of Count Xiao Tang on the other side, and the soldiers around him who were puzzled went to ask the knight, and after the knight explained, they also laughed, such a pass two, two pass four, and soon the soldiers in the entire camp knew that Count Xiao Tang was very 'cowardly', and he was not worthy of his 'bravery' at all, so the whole camp was laughing wildly, and the morale that had fallen because of the harassment of the crossbowmen on horseback immediately recovered.

As a qualified commander, he naturally knew what the morale of the army was important to the army, so he immediately took advantage of this opportunity and said like a fire on the fire: "Kill a soldier on the opposite side and reward a gold coin!" Kill a cavalryman on the opposite side and reward 10 gold coins! Capture Desmond, open the city for three days, and carnival! Glory is in sight, God bless the brave! ”

With money as erbium, fame and fortune as temptation, coupled with religious brainwashing, Duke Ed deserves to be an excellent commander, and these words made his army enthusiastic and cheered loudly, eager to kill it now, and then enjoy everything Desmond has to offer!

"It seems that the other side is not an easy person." Earl Tang listened to the cheers coming from the opposite side from afar, and thought: "But it doesn't matter, with my secret weapon, I will definitely win this time!"

So, the next morning, both sides were ready and ready to fight!

"It seems that it is a little difficult to do, and the other side is not unprepared for the lack of their own cavalry."

At that time, Duke Ed ascended to the command platform and looked down at the formation of Count Tang from a distance, but saw that the left and right sides of the pikemen array were densely packed with simple horse rejection piles, and he couldn't help frowning and saying.

In fact, it is not completely impossible to reject the horse pile, because the top and bottom are pointed, so it is easy to poke into the ground, and it is also easy to turn it out, as long as there are horses willing to sacrifice a little, it is not a very difficult thing.

However, if the horse is sentient and sees such a sharp wooden stake that looks like it hurts to stick it in the body, it will probably turn around and run away.

However, in order to help one of their loyal friends overcome their timidity, humans of the world's most intelligent species invented such a thing as an eyepatch, and if they put on this useful thing when charging, the horse would rush straight forward as if it had gone mad.

But Duke Ed was reluctant.

This is undoubtedly very, very harmful to horses, and at this time, not to mention ordinary horses used for work, the war horses of the cavalry are to be raised from childhood to adulthood, which is very precious.

So he chose another way, he let some light cavalry mount the horses, and then took the lasso, hoping that in this way, one by one, the horse rejection stakes would be pulled up.

But of course, such a whimsical idea naturally failed, not to mention that those horse rejection stakes are extremely smooth, and the lasso basically cannot be put on, just say that as long as the light cavalry approached the formation, immediately a burst of crossbow bolts came over, and several light cavalry were shot into hedgehogs on the spot.

After a few more attempts, Duke Ed had to regret that the plan had failed.

"In this case, the strategy of charging from both flanks probably won't work, and you can only attack from the front? It's a real headache. ”

At that time, seeing Count Tang's super-long spearmen holding super-long spears that were more dense than the horse-rejecting stakes, Duke Ed sighed.

But now that the battle has begun, it is not a matter to stand like this, and with the fact that this is already Desmond's territory, it is very difficult for Duke Ed to get supplies here, and it is impossible to drag it out.

Therefore, Duke Ed could only order like this.

"Let the light cavalry dismount, put blindfolds on all their horses, let the horses charge first, and then the heavy cavalry will follow behind, and as soon as the opposite formation is out of order, immediately start charging! Then let the infantry also start charging. ”

And so, after a little more hesitation, Duke Ed said to the knights beside him, and soon, despite the reluctance of the hussars, they dismounted and bid farewell to their mounts with tears.

Duke Ed had more than 500 cavalry, and he later converted 300 of them into light cavalry, and later suffered some casualties, and now only about 200 remain. Of course, it is impossible for all of the more than 200 light cavalry to dismount, and Duke Ed still has to leave some of the harassment of the mounted crossbowmen who defend Count Xiao Tang, so there are about 100 light cavalry who really dismount.

This means that there are 100 horses and 200 hoplites behind the horses.

Then, they charged.

"Crossbowmen ready, ready, shoot!"

Seeing that the opposite side had begun to charge, the little Count Tang immediately shouted like this, and the two hundred crossbowmen standing on the left and right sides of the front of the array, as well as the mounted crossbowmen scattered on both sides of the array, immediately began to shoot, because the horses running in the front were all light cavalry, and were not draped, so they had an extraordinary result in this arrow, and they shot down fifty or sixty horses - but they could only shoot this arrow.

The disadvantage of the crossbow is that it is too slow, too slow, the bow can shoot three arrows and the crossbow can only shoot one arrow, and then these crossbowmen and crossbowmen on horseback will run back with no lives, they must run, or they will die.

The speed of the horse is forty kilometers per second, and the distance from Duke Ed to Count Don is about two hundred meters, which means that the horse has to run for twenty seconds, and in these twenty seconds, Count Don has only done one thing except for the crossbow archers to shoot.

"All the soldiers are apart, all the soldiers are apart! Set the cow on fire, prepare, and run! ”

That's right, this move is the legendary Zhongtian Danda's fire bull array that broke the Yan Army!

In fact, not only Tiandan, but also the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal, and Spain have used this kind of fire bull formation, and used it to break the enemy army - as for whether the super pikemen standing in front can reflect it, in the moment of life and death, absolutely no one will joke with their own lives, not to mention that they have already known the strategy of Count Don in advance and have practiced it.

"What is that! What's that! Can any of you tell me what that thing is! ”

The first second Duke Ed saw the fire bull, he lost his temper, just relying on his intuition, he could find that everything was about to fail, those fire bulls with straw tied to their bodies and burning flames, rampage, as if they really stepped out of hell Mephitos, every step of the way to step on the ground sparks, burning everything he had, all, his whole life!

So, under the watchful eyes of the entire battlefield, the fire ox and the horse collided.

It was as if a train had hit another train, and it was as if a heavy goods vehicle had hit another heavy truck, and the fire ox had its neck broken directly, but the horse was also stabbed in the chest by the two horns of the ox, and even if there were occasional survivors, they were all scattered and could only lie on the ground and hum.

Besides, cattle have one of the biggest advantages over horses, that is, there are many, too many, very much, even if they have knocked out the horses of the light cavalry in front, there are still a lot of cattle in the back, and they are about to collide with the heavy cavalry!

Duke Ed had closed his eyes, unwilling to look any further.

Whether he admits it or not, he knows very well in his heart that he has already lost half of this battle, no, more than half of it! His biggest advantage, the cavalry troops are almost completely annihilated, and the opponent is still undamaged, which means that the next battle will be quite difficult, and it may be the best result to end in a draw.

"But no matter what, since this battle has begun, it will definitely have an end, no matter what this end is, it is God's arrangement, and all I can do is to work harder, and then meet this ending......"
