George VI looked at the excited John and asked, "Why did you say that, sir?"

John said confidently: "Your Majesty, no matter how strong the enemy's soldiers are, they can't change one of their weaknesses. That's the force!"

John pointed to Augustus' army on the north side and continued: "You see, the army on the north side has three or four thousand men, and the heavy cavalry of the other side is also outside, so that means that the troops in the city will definitely not exceed two thousand. You see, if you count the four thousand men on the north side and two thousand heavy cavalry, that is already the limit of a duke's use of troops. Alan Ouranos is stronger than all the enemies we've seen, but it's not free from this limitation. So I can be sure that there will be no more than three thousand archers in the town!"

"Your Majesty, you see, the other party has withdrawn the defense of the north gate, it must be because of our continuous attack, we have to reinforce the southwest, so at this time, it is time for us to solve the defenders outside the north gate!"

"Not bad! Makes sense!" George VI listened to John's explanation and nodded. "Order, the cavalry is ready to attack!"

"Lord Duke, the other party is starting to change!" As soon as Guy noticed the change in George VI's military formation, he immediately reported it to Allen.

"How's it going?"

"Lord Duke, the other party's cavalry has come out, and it seems that they are about to start a cavalry charge!"

Alan heard Guy's answer, and immediately raised the telescope in his hand with a heavy expression, and looked at George VI's actions. From the bell tower, George VI's army can be seen in the eye.

"Good! They're finally getting started!" Alan waved his arm excitedly, "Inform Leon." Let him lead the cavalry to storm the enemy's flank!"

"Lord Duke, do you want the heavy cavalry to be impulsive now? Isn't it a little early?" Guy asked worriedly.

Alan shook his head and explained, "We have few troops, if we don't rely on heavy cavalry to attract the opponent's main force now. The pressure on the north side is too great, and if the north side can't withstand it, then the battle is lost. ”

Guy nodded, agreeing with Alan's words.

Woo~Woo~ Two long horns sounded from George VI's military formation, followed by a heavy cavalry team with a silver glow slowly emerging from the formation.

The real elite of the Rollin Kingdom, the hole cards, the elite Roland Knights have finally appeared.

Iron...... Tin cans? Alan thought in shock. I didn't expect that the forging technology of the Rollin Kingdom could already forge full-body plate armor. This is an important finding. Alan looked at these knights whose whole bodies were wrapped in steel plates, and couldn't help but worry about the Augustus who had become, the heavy cavalry with plate chain composite armor was no longer easy to deal with. Nowadays, it is even more difficult to fight against the famous tin cans.

It seems that it will not work without paying a little price. Alan had a good idea in his mind and immediately gave the order. "Inform Augustus and put the hoplites at the forefront of the battle line!"

It's obvious. The advantages of tin cans are amazing. Both attack and defense are more than a step stronger than the traditional heavy knight, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, physical strength. Originally, the weakness of the heavily armored knight was that he could not fight for a long time, and these iron cans were even exerted to the extreme, and it was even difficult to get up after falling to the ground, how could they fight flexibly in hand-to-hand combat? So fighting them can decide the outcome in a split second.

That is, the eternal knight charge.

George VI's elite Roland knights couldn't help but defend themselves tightly, and even their horses were wrapped in a thick layer of horse armor. Up to this point. Whether it is the spear array of the original cavalry nemesis, or the bow and crossbow of long-range strike. It's all gone, it's not a threat.

Boom! The drums of war sounded.

"Forward!" A long howl. With the help of their hired men, the Roland knights picked up their spears and slowly approached Augustus' military formation.

The battlefield that was only a few hundred meters short of a few hundred meters was like a narrow ditch in the eyes of everyone at this moment, as if it could be crossed with just one step. But it's like a moat, I just hope that the other party never comes.

Alan was very nervous at the moment, but at this time he couldn't do anything, he could only wish in his heart that Augustus would be able to block it, as long as it was blocked, it would be victory!

"Rush! Sharp!"

Finally, when the moment of charge came, Rulin's cavalry gun was finally put down, and a full thousand Roland knights lined up in two rows, like a wall, and crashed towards Augustus.

"Hold on!" Augustus roared, and the hoplites in the front row quickly raised their spears one by one. In the face of the rolling torrent of steel, the touch of the comrades around him may be the only comfort.

Boom, the sound of the knight's hooves was particularly loud, and at this moment, it was almost a thunderous thunder in everyone's ears.

"Hold on!" Augustus continues to shout! He must make his voice heard by all the soldiers and give them courage. Otherwise, this heavy oppressive force will directly drive their courage away and lose their combat power.

"Hold on!" The iron spear head on the cavalry gun was already clearly visible, the distance between the two sides had been tightened to within thirty meters, and the soldiers standing at the front had no way to retreat at this time, and the great fear made them almost go crazy.

It was only more than ten meters, and the soldiers in the front row seemed to be able to feel the air flow coming from the oppression.

"Defense!" Following Augustus' order, all the hoplites raised their spears in their hands with all their strength and closed their eyes.

Syllable! Alan seemed to hear the sound of bowling.

The thousand elite Roland knights slammed into the line of heavily armed spearmen with unstoppable might.

In the first moment, the soldiers in the first row flew directly three or five meters high, and then fell miserably on the teammates behind them.

In the second instant, the soldiers in the back row were directly stabbed through the stomach by the knights' rifles, and they became corpses with almost no resistance.

In the third moment, the soldiers behind were also unable to stop the huge impact of the knights, and they were knocked to the ground one after another, trampled into mud by the knights' war horses in despair.

And the spears in their hands couldn't penetrate the thick steel plate at all. There is no other use than to make scratches on it.

Alan sighed, this is the textbook knight charge. One-sided hanging. This group of barbarians really took this one-time class to the extreme. (Allen's so-called one-time means that you can only attack once in a fight.) )

In just this round of charge, Allen estimated that the casualties were nearly half. That is, the 2,000 heavily armed spearmen lost a thousand men in this round of charge.

And the Roland knights, who had broken through the defensive formation of the heavily armed spearmen, did not stop, they drew their knights' swords hanging on their horses, and the frenzied slaughterers of the routs who had been broken through their courage.

"Hahaha! Good! Worthy of my knight Roland!" George VI watched the performance of the Roland Knight with satisfaction and gave high praise to the Roland Knight.

"Your Majesty, take this opportunity. Hurry up and attack!" John saw that the first round of the charge had successfully broken through the formation, and immediately suggested it to George VI.

"Not bad! Sir is right! Pass my orders! Keep on the offensive!"

Soon, two thousand heavily armed spearmen with two thousand conscripted serfs slaughtered the chaotic Augustus on the orders of George VI.

Although the hoplites in the front row were completely overwhelmed by the Roland Knights, Allen's goal was also achieved. With these two thousand men, they blocked the advance of the Roland knights with their flesh and blood. So that the Essis legionnaires in the back row can really play to their strengths, that is, white-knuckle combat.

With an order from Augustus, a thousand legionnaires joined the battlefield with a shield in one hand and a short sword in the other.

A tin can that has lost its speed becomes a real tin can, even if it is sitting on a horse. It is also necessary to attach some buckles to the armor to fasten yourself to the saddle.

And Augustus's legionnaires naturally abandoned their usual javelin projection against this group of tin cans. Instead, the knights were first dismounted by ropes, and then, when they had struggled to get up from the ground, they removed their masks and stabbed them with a sword, killing them.

"Kill!" A monstrous shout of killing followed behind the Roland Knight.

Two thousand heavily armed spearmen and two thousand serfs took advantage of the gap in the formation torn by the Roland knights and rushed into the military formation at once. The two thousand heavily armed spearmen who had been broken by the Roland Knight's charge before finally couldn't bear the pressure at this moment, and completely retreated.

In desperation, Augustus drew his short sword at his waist and shouted, "For Essis!" After that, he led two thousand legionnaires. Fight against George VI's army.

"Lord Duke, the war has begun!" Guy saw Augustus finally go to war with George VI's army. Immediately reported to Alan.

"Quick! Guy, you leave and take the two thousand legionary infantry out of the city, and flank them inside and outside!" Allen's mood was also a little excited, and after waiting for a long time, George VI finally launched an attack on the north flank.

"Yes!" Guy clenched his fists and took his life! Then he waved his cloak behind him.

"Kill me out!" Guy took the lead, leading the town's hidden infantry of 2,000 legionn, swarming out from the north flank and fiercely attacking George VI's flank.

"How is it possible, how can the other side still have an army?" John roared in disbelief, "How's the attack on the southwest flank?"

"Lord Hui, the offensive on the southwest side is still ongoing!"

"Impossible, how can the other party still have an army? Did I miscalculate?" John muttered to himself.

George VI anxiously shouted to John, "Sir, what shall we do now?"

John calmed himself down and said: "Your Majesty, don't panic, although the strength of the other party exceeds my expectations, but this is harmless, we continue to attack, compare strength, they can't compare to us!"

George VI listened to John's words and felt a little relieved, so he continued to order an additional 2,000 spearmen and 2,000 serfs to be sent to the north flank.

The other side has increased its troops again. Alan watched George VI's movements nervously, and when he saw another four thousand men rushing towards the north side, he couldn't help but hold the hilt of his sword tightly at his waist.

From the battle of the river crossing, George VI sent three thousand heavily armed spearmen at that time, and finally killed the general himself, so there are still 1,500 men left. The west and south sides combined were 4,000 men. On the north flank, there were two consecutive rounds of attacks, and the same four heavily armed spearmen were a thousand men. So in total, the other side has dispatched nearly 10,000 heavily armed spearmen.

If we calculate according to the usual ratio of regular army and conscripted serfs on the mainland, there are at least 30,000 serfs, so that there are more than 40,000 troops in total. If you count the archers and cavalry, then the army of 50,000 is more than poked.

"In other words, has the other party reached the limit?" Alan muttered to himself as he looked in the direction of George VI.

Thinking of this, Alan made up his mind and yelled, "Leonardo! Now immediately lead the Esis Assault Team and give me the enemy to the north!"

"Yes!" Leonardo shouted, and then led his Essis Commando to join the battlefield once more.

At this moment, the melee on the north side has long been chaotic, basically a situation where you have me, you have you. The first was that the knights of Roland were caught in the middle of the battlefield by their own hoplites and Augustus' legionary infantry. Guy then led two thousand legions of infantry to encircle George VI's army from the flank.

But George VI sent another 4,000 men to surround Guy's forces. Today's battlefield on the north side is like a sandwich cake, one by one, and it is impossible to maintain a formation at all.

And at this time, Allen's legionary infantry finally exerted their combat effectiveness. Although it is impossible to form a battle line, in terms of small-scale squad combat mode, there is no one in the world who can compare with the legion infantry.

When the formation is broken up, it is different from those heavily armed spearmen who cut whoever is close to them, and kill whoever they see is not pleasing to the eye. The legionnaires did not fight on their own, but usually broke up into pieces, and formed a group of ten or five by the squad leader, and re-formed into small battle formations, some defending, some attacking. The battle was orderly and morale was high.

As a result, a combat squad of 10 people is usually able to fight against 20 or even 30 stragglers. Little by little, the form of the battlefield is pouring towards Allen.

Allen saw this in his eyes but was not optimistic in his heart, because although the combat effectiveness of the legion infantry is very strong, but to face several times the enemy, physical strength is a big problem, once the battle time is too long, then it is easy to lose physical strength, and then a large-scale rout will not be far away.

"Your Majesty! How many troops do we have left?" John asked anxiously, in the face of the combat effectiveness of Allen's army, John was completely admired, even in front of several times the enemy, these soldiers can still maintain high morale, and close formation, it really has to be said that it is amazing.

George VI was also very anxious at the moment, and he said worriedly: "Mr. John, now we have only two thousand heavily armed spearmen and four thousand conscripted serfs left."

"What about the cavalry?" John suddenly remembered and asked.

George VI shook his head and said, "Our four thousand knights have fallen into a scuffle and can no longer be mobilized."

"What? What's going on, why didn't anyone tell me?" John asked, shocked. (To be continued.) )
