Chapter 988: Death of the Heavy Cavalry

"Less than 40,000 people dare to fight a decisive battle with my 80,000 army, I really don't know if these Song people are arrogant or arrogant?" Count Supulin rode on his horse, looking at the neatly arranged Great Song army in the distance, and said with some disdain on his face, the two sides have lined up on the battlefield, and a big battle is about to break out.

"Don't be careless, this group of Song people who suddenly arrived can capture Rome in one day, and also force my eldest brother to surrender, there must be something extraordinary, in addition, I have heard that the Song people have a thunderous weapon, as long as it hits people, it will be torn apart immediately, and the power is very strong, I don't know if it's true?" Hearing Count Suplin's words, little Henry, who was sitting on the horse at this time, reminded him that being calm and cautious at all times was the main reason why he had come to this point step by step.

"Henry, you are too nervous, the other party only has more than 30,000 people, and most of them are just an army put together by the Song people temporarily, there is no combat effectiveness at all, maybe we only need a charge to completely defeat them, as for what kind of thunder weapon, I think it was made up by the Romans in order to cover up their incompetence, how could there be that kind of weapon in this world?" Earl Suplin still didn't care a little when he heard this.

Count Suplin is a good friend of little Henry, the two have been good playmates since childhood, the reason why little Henry suddenly launched a rebellion, of which Count Suplin is the main persuader, and in the subsequent war, Count Suplin has also repeatedly made meritorious contributions, and now has become the most powerful general under little Henry.

"Nope! You don't know my sister, she has never had ambitions for the throne, and since she has escaped from Europe and found a home in the distant Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible to fight us for the throne after returning, so the only explanation is that her husband wants to reclaim the throne. However, since the prince of the Great Song Dynasty dares to come, he must be completely sure, otherwise it is impossible to come to Europe so far! Little Henry was still a little worried at this time, some time ago, Agnes's legendary experience had been deliberately spread by Zhao Jia, and he also showed his identity, so Little Henry also knew something about Agnes's situation.

"Didn't they say that it would take a year to sail at sea from the Great Song Dynasty to us? Perhaps it was because they lost a lot of men at sea, which led to a shortage of troops, which is also a normal thing. Hearing this, Count Suprin thought about it for a moment and said, no matter what, he didn't believe that the more than 30,000 people on the opposite side would be able to block the onslaught of his 80,000-strong army.

Hearing the words of Count Suplin, little Henry was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Maybe! ”

In fact, little Henry was still very uneasy in his heart, as if he had no certainty about the upcoming war, but now that the two armies had faced each other, he was not allowed to retreat at all, and even if he had the opportunity to retreat. He didn't dare to withdraw his troops, because Agnes was originally the true heir to the throne, and if he retreated at this time, it would only make people mistakenly think that he indirectly recognized the identity of the heir to the throne of Agnes, so he had to continue this war no matter what, even if he knew that he would be defeated, not to mention that from the current strength of both sides, he still has an absolute advantage. Naturally, it is even more impossible to back down.

Thinking of the above, little Henry finally lifted his spirits. Putting aside the burden in his heart and focusing on this upcoming war, now the two armies are less than five miles apart, and each can see each other's air flags, but for prudent reasons, neither side has taken the lead in attacking, and their respective generals are probably observing each other's situation.

"Henry. Don't wait any longer, attack, my knights can't wait! At this moment, Count Suplin spoke again, and he had in his hands a force of more than five thousand hoplites. All knights are heavily armoured and invincible on the battlefield, and any enemy that stands in their way will be torn to shreds.

"Okay, Su Pulin, you lead the heavy cavalry to open the way in front and strive to break through the enemy's formation, and I will lead the army to follow closely and defeat the Song army in one fell swoop!" Little Henry thought about it for a moment after hearing this, and finally nodded and said, the matter has come to this point, and no one can be allowed to retreat, so it is better to take the initiative to attack, maybe you can still take the lead.

Seeing that little Henry agreed, Count Suplin immediately happily agreed, turned around and returned to his army to prepare, and after a while, Little Henry's order was conveyed, and Count Suplin personally led his five thousand heavy cavalry to rush out, like a sharp arrow to the army of the Great Song.

Four, three, and two ......miles, with the charge of the heavy cavalry, Count Suplin saw that the Song army was getting closer and closer to him, and at this distance in peacetime, he could already see the frightened expression on the enemy's face, which also made Count Suplin and his knights even more excited, eager to rush into the Song army as soon as possible, and teach these Song people who did not know how to investigate the thick of the sky a cruel lesson.

"Huh? Wrong! However, just when Count Suplin was excited, he suddenly found that something was wrong, that is, he found that the Song soldiers on the opposite side did not show half a point of horror on their faces, but also looked fearless, which made him calm down in the excitement at once, and instinctively felt a little bad, but at this time he realized that the problem was too late, after all, after the heavy cavalry charged, it was impossible to stop, otherwise the horses would be crushed to death due to their own weight, It can be difficult to change direction even when charging.

"Boom boom boom~" Just when Count Suplin realized that the situation was not good, he suddenly only heard a roar like thunder from the Song army opposite, and then he only felt a series of loud noises behind him, as if something fell from the sky, followed by a series of screams and wails, which made Count Suplin also chill all over his body for a while, and he finally woke up, this should be the legendary thunder-like weapon of the Song people, although he couldn't turn his head to see the tragic situation behind him, but he could only distinguish it from the sound, This weapon is inflicting heavy casualties on its own cavalry.

Count Suplin has always regarded these five thousand heavy cavalry as his henchmen, all the equipment and war horses are the best, and he usually feels distressed for a long time for every time he dies in battle, but now he can already imagine the huge casualties behind him, but unfortunately he can't do anything about it, and he doesn't even have a chance to look back, because the heavy armor on his body can't make him turn his head at all, which makes him feel that his heart is bleeding outward.

"Kill~" Count Suplin could only turn his grief and anger into a roar in the end, and raised his knight's spear to speed up towards the Song army, no matter what kind of weapon, as long as he can rush into the Song army, then this weapon will be useless, after all, it is impossible for the Song army to kill even its own army.

It was with this kind of thought in mind that the Count of Suplin took the lead in rushing forward, and the hoplite cavalry behind him was bombarded by artillery, although the casualties were not small, but seeing that the main general was so brave, he also roared forward at the moment, but then there were several rounds of artillery, and the hot cannonballs fell among the cavalry and rolled forward, almost in a straight line to kill the cavalry, causing countless cavalry to fall on the way to the charge.

Finally waited until Count Suplin led less than 2,000 cavalry to rush in front of the Song army, because of the impact of the shelling, their horses were greatly frightened, and the speed was also greatly reduced at this time, but at this time Count Suplin had already killed red eyes, no matter how many casualties he paid, he had to avenge the knights who died behind him!

However, the reality is cruel, just when Count Suplin led the remaining cavalry to rush to the Song army not far away, only to see a tall shield suddenly erected in the Song army, and then saw countless small black dots flying out from behind the shield, falling into Count Suplin's cavalry like a small raindrop.

"Boom Boom Boom~" is another series of explosions, although the power of this explosion is far less than the previous artillery, but the flying grenade fragments bring a greater threat to the heavy cavalry, originally the heavy cavalry are wearing heavy armor, ordinary weapons can not hurt them at all, and even grenades are not much of a threat to them, but although their downward war horses are also wearing armor, but the lower abdomen and other parts are still not protected, and it just happens that the fragments of the grenade are from the bottom up, and the legs and belly of these war horses are easily injured, As a result, for a while, people turned on their backs, and for the heavy cavalry, when the horse fell during the charge, it meant death, and the armor weighing dozens or hundreds of pounds on their bodies could crush them to death when the high speed suddenly stopped.

"No~" Count Suplin watched more than a dozen black iron ball-like things fall in front of him, and then suddenly burst open, many of which hit him, and the result was just a "clanging" sound, and those fragments did not hurt him at all, but his downward war horse neighed miserably, and then collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, which made Count Suplin also hit the ground diagonally.

"Click~" Count Supulin's ears clearly heard that the bones of his whole body were broken countless under the huge impact, and at the same time, a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth, and then there was blood everywhere in his ears and nose, and his internal organs were also rotted under the huge impact and squeezing, causing serious internal bleeding, and this kind of injury could only wait for death even in the afterlife.

By rolling on the ground, Count Suplin glanced behind him with the last sober consciousness, only to see that there were few knights left who could ride on horses, and the five thousand heavy cavalry under his command could be said to be completely annihilated, but unfortunately at this time he didn't even have the opportunity to feel distressed, and suddenly it was dark in front of him, and then the whole person didn't know anything. (To be continued.) )
