Section 64 Sentinel Battle

Listening to the roars of the Mecklenburg legionnaires, the Slavs of Watergast were not to be outdone, they spat in the direction of the Mecklenburg legion and cursed angrily, the Slavs struck their shields with their axes and made threatening sounds, and the noise of more than 3,000 people was not lost to the Mecklenburg legion.

"Andrew, let's move on." Arold waited a little, he raised his head to look at the sun gradually rising in the sky, according to his own estimation it should be about nine o'clock in the morning, to Kang Tuoyi's surprise was that the outnumbered Mecklenburg regiment actually launched the attack first.

"Yes, Lord Count." Andrew put on the helmet clipped under his armpit, he drew his sword and raised it high, and then the beats of small drums sounded in each phalanx, accompanied by the rhythm of the drums, the phalanx soldiers walked regularly, and the footsteps made a neat roar, which actually made the noisy Mrs. Watergas Tesla on the opposite side stunned, and gradually quieted down to watch those neat phalanxes move.

"Lord Kang Tuoyi, the enemy has attacked first, do we hold on or take the initiative to attack?" Calvin Chief asked Kang Tuoyi.

"Of course it's the offense, Calvin Chief, you're in charge of the right/flank, and I'm in charge of the center, so that the soldiers can pull out the widest horizontal line and push it over." Kang Tuoyi of course chose to attack, and if he still held on to it in the face of an advantage in numbers, the soldiers who did not know the situation would think that they were at a disadvantage and their confidence would be shaken, and the weak psychological changes of the soldiers in the era of cold weapons might also lead to drastic changes in the battle situation.

"Okay." The Calvin leader glanced at the Mecklenburg Legion slowly pressing on the opposite side, and there was a hint of foreboding in his heart, but he quickly put these thoughts behind him, turned his horse's head and headed in the direction of the right/flank.

"The gods are above, grant us victory." It was a coincidence that Kang Tuoyi glanced at the sky almost at the same time as Arod, but Arod was there to know the time, and Kang Tuoyi was to pray to the ethereal deity.

"Forward, forward, forward~~~." The Slavic nobles of Watergast, wearing iron helmets and strong armor, drove their soldiers forward with their shields and weapons, and from the direction of the Mecklenburg Corps, a Slavic army approached as a crooked line of waves.

"The Mecklenburg Corps stopped advancing, the whole team." Andrew felt as if he was pressing against an invisible stone in his chest, he took a deep breath and raised the sword in his hand and commanded loudly.

The trumpet herald beside him immediately blew the trombone, the trombone made a melodious sound, and heard the order to the various German mercenaries in the phalanx to stop according to the order, after walking a distance, the team was a little messy, some recruits walked to the outside of the team, and some were excited by the sound and blood of the battlefield to the front, at this time the new recruits who stopped for the first time realized that they immediately turned back to the team.

"Cheer, cheer~~~." In order to alleviate the anxiety of the soldiers, the junior officers of each phalanx took the lead in shouting, and then the soldiers followed to meet the sound of the trumpet, and when they advanced again, the pace was adjusted much more neatly, the spears held high in the hands of the soldiers were as dense as a wood, and the spears collided with each other in the action to make a rattling sound, and the four corners of each phalanx were also arranged with Germanic swordsmen with large swords and large shield crossbowmen.

"Swift as the wind, Xu as a forest, aggression as fire, immobile as a mountain." Arold looked at the spear phalanx in the attack, and couldn't help but say to himself proudly, the spear phalanx under his command can really be said to have achieved the level of Xu Rulin, when the spear phalanx advanced, Arold's cavalry troops were firmly in the rear.

"Order the archers to release their arrows and shoot ~~~." Kang Tuoyi looked at the phalanx of spears with spears in their hands, like a grove of spears, he immediately ordered his army, and suddenly the archers in the army of Vottgas Teslav were gathered, because they were not equipped with anything but bows and arrows, so they moved more easily and nimblely, these archers ran to the front of the infantry, and they bent their bows and arrows at forty-five degrees to fire arrows at the approaching phalanx of Mecklenburg.

"Whoosh~~~." Arrows rained down on the phalanx of Mecklenburgers, and they landed on the heads of the Mecklenburg soldiers with a screeching sound.

"Puff~~, ah~~~." The soldiers of the phalanx in Mecklenburg hurriedly lowered their heads, the iron helmets on their heads could resist these arrows, but these arrows were shot too densely, and many people were still shot in the shoulders and feet, and suddenly many holes appeared in the originally neat phalanx.

"Ahh A Mecklenburg recruit was holding his spear, he heard the sound of whizzing arrows in his ears, and he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head, but at this moment he heard a scream next to him, and then his face seemed to be sprinkled with hot water, and in horror he looked up and saw a companion who had been with him since he enlisted, and his eyes were wide open, and the companion had an arrow stuck in his neck, and he wanted to stop to help the companion, but the veterans around him didn't even look at the fallen man, The recruits were pushed by the crowd past their companions and continued on their way.

"Stop advancing, defend the formation, return fire from the crossbowmen." Colonel Andrew swung his sword and cut off an arrow that was fired at him, and he gave orders in a loud and calm voice, and the trumpeter immediately blew the trombone, and the soldiers of Mecklenburg were trained to know the meaning of this trumpet.

"Defensive formation, defensive formation." The officers in the small phalanx immediately ordered loudly, and the eight phalanxes gradually stopped advancing one by one, and the soldiers of the first row of each phalanx knelt down on one knee and stuck the tail of their spears in their hands on the ground, pointing their spears diagonally in front of them, and the soldiers of the second row held their spears flat on the shoulders of their comrades in the first row, while the soldiers of the third row clenched their spears and stretched them forward as far as possible, and a phalanx of spears like hedgehogs was completed.

"Crunch, squeak~~~." The big shield crossbowmen located at the four corners of the phalanx ran to the front of the phalanx, they formed two columns of formations and turned their backs, stepped on the crossbow ring with their feet and pulled the crossbow string, and then put the crossbow bolts on it, at this time the arrows of the opposite Slavs were also shooting continuously, but these arrows did not cause damage to the big shield crossbowmen at all, their big shields could completely resist the arrows, and the two columns of the big shield crossbowmen also became a defense of the phalanx.

"Launch~~~." The moment the crossbowmen turned around, they immediately aimed in the direction of the Slavic archers, and when the non-commissioned officer of the crossbowmen gave the order, they simultaneously pulled the bracket on the crossbow, and the crossbow bolts left the string and fired at the enemy.

"Puff puff~~~~~." The crossbows struck the Slavic archers, and the archers who were unprepared to unleash their bows suddenly burst into red blood, and unlike the big shield crossbowmen, they had no defenses on their bodies, and the powerful crossbows shot many of the unsuspecting archers into a sieve, and some of the crossbows actually carried the thin ones backwards.

"Haha, well done." The Germanic swordsmen in the phalanx laughed wildly, carrying the sparkling and terrifying swords on their shoulders, and looked at the unbearable appearance of the Slavic wolves, and these swordsmen from noble families laughed loudly and unbridledly.

"Damn Mecklenburgers, Lord Contoyi, should we withdraw our archers." An adjutant beside Kang Tuoyi gritted his teeth and said, but Kang Tuoyi was indifferent, it was true that compared to the entire battle situation, even if he lost the entire archer team, it didn't matter.

"No, let the archers nail there, we need to continue to test the enemy."

"But our archers will be scattered." Listening to Kang Tuoyi's ruthless order, the adjutant looked at Kang Tuoyi in surprise, as if he had never known him.

"Do as I commanded, so that the archers will leave the crossbowmen alone and shoot directly into the phalanx of the Mecklenburgers, weakening them as much as possible." Kang Tuoyi rode on his horse, his eyes watching his opponent's every move on the battlefield, they were like two ferocious beasts, carefully testing each other before hand-to-hand combat, trying to find their opponent's weakness and then exerting all their strength to kill their opponent with one blow.
