"Shoot!"

The cavalry began to make a detour to the sides, and the Swadia crossbowmen and hired crossbowmen, who had reached the front of the line, also launched a volley. As their crossbow arrows flew halfway through the air, the crossbowmen of the mixed army on the other side also fired arrows.

Soldiers on both sides raised their shields, and the crossbows and bows fell into the enemy's formation.

Arrows crash into the shield, dozens of arrows pass by, often only a few unlucky ones will hit, and rarely fatal. But as time goes on, there will be more and more such unlucky guys.

Bandak remained in his usual style, either putting up his shield and winding the heavy crossbow or shooting an arrow through the head. Even if an enemy arrow lands on a nearby or shield, it will not be visible.

Byron had been hiding behind his shield to avoid being hit by stray arrows. He had seen how the village doctors, the shavers, dealt with arrow wounds, and he didn't want to risk it. If an armor-piercing arrow flew across the other side when he probed, it wasn't a joke.

However, Byron still had to occasionally take a look at the situation of the battlefield, and now the infantry on both sides was close to fifty meters away, and the light cavalry units composed of caravan escorts had also reached the sides of the opposing phalanx.

However, in the face of the spear arrays arranged like the city walls, these cavalry did not want to rush forward and die. More than 50 light cavalry divided into four squads, drove their horses about five meters away from the opponent's phalanx, and threw the javelins and angular stones they had found into the opposing troops.

Under this sudden attack, many of the bandits' mercenaries and the Rhodoks with their backs were hit and pierced into the body with javelins. Under the protection of armor, a single javelin may not be fatal, but it can directly inhuman a person and cause panic among the entire team.

Even those rocks bigger than a fist, if smashed accurately, can stun people through the helmet.

Some of the caravan guards also had flails, and some of Byron's caravan guards even had meteor hammers, and these heavy objects with chains could easily cause bone cracks and internal injuries if they hit people, and those chains could be wrapped around people's necks... It's up to your companions to get rid of this thing before you get strangled to death.

Again, however, the light cavalry lost eight men after a single attack.

Some were unlucky enough to crash into the opponent's spears, while others were smashed by the javelins and throwing axes of the opposing pirates. Fortunately, at this time, the archers of the robbers were shooting at each other with the archers of Count Claes's team, otherwise the casualties would have to be doubled.

However, the main purpose of these light cavalry was to disrupt the opponent's formation and create opportunities for the heavy cavalry in the rear.

This tactic had a certain effect, and after seeing the performance of the light cavalry, James also waved his hand, and a Swadian heavy cavalry blew a horn, including the mercenary riders of each team and Byron's Vicchian bastard knights, a total of forty-seven heavy cavalry slapped the body of the war horse, increased speed, and launched a charge towards the enemy phalanx that was constantly harassed by the light cavalry.

The dull sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the figures of the heavy cavalry charging towards them with their backs to the sun were particularly huge. In time, because of the heavy pressure brought by their armor, but also because of the glare of the morning sun behind them.

There was no way, even if the noble knight of Rhodok had already taken this into account before the battle, and avoided the position of the rising sun as much as possible, but their formation was a large rectangular phalanx, and once the four sides had to face the enemy in four directions, there was always a position that could not be taken care of.

"Spear formation! Spear array! ”

A mercenary captain hired by the Rhodok knight shouted at the top of his throat, while a group of mercenaries armed with spears and several skilled Rhodok spearmen also squeezed through the somewhat chaotic crowd in front of them, walked to the front of the group, and placed the spears on the grooves on the matching cards, and from a distance, a horizontal row of guns appeared.

The heavy cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the hearts of the mixed robbers trembled with the rise and fall of the horses' hooves.

Especially the soldiers standing in the first row, they have already experienced a lot of battles, but in the face of a whole group of heavy cavalry, they still can't overcome the panic in their hearts.

Some people's palms began to sweat and soaked their gloves. Some people started to cramp in their legs, but they still forced the customer to panic and tell themselves to stay where they were. As soon as they retreated, spears and spears pierced their bodies.

By this time, their phalanx had shifted from offensive to defensive, and the infantry troops led by the Count were getting closer and closer to them.

Byron had already dismounted, grabbed his shield and mace, and led the rest of his soldiers towards the other side. The crossbowmen were still firing at each other, but they could no longer stop the two forces from colliding head-on. Byron clearly saw the soldiers in front of him, holding shields and spears, like a wall, giving people a strong deterrent.

Their footsteps kept approaching, like horses under the crotch of heavy cavalry, getting closer and closer to the wall of spears and shields.

"Bump!"

The first impact came from the rear of the team, and the light cavalry, which had been circling them before, suddenly changed their previous guerrilla tactics and launched an attack together under the leadership of their respective captains.

It may seem foolish to have the light cavalry charge a frontal charge at a well-defended phalanx of spears, but after a round of javelin stone flail throwing, rows of cavalry with spears in their spears charge towards the disrupted phalanx. Entire platoons of cavalry broke through the barricades of spears, spears pierced human bodies, and horses knocked down the defenses of shields. Although there were also horses and riders who would die in this attack, the confusion in the flanks and rear also affected the soldiers on the flanks to a certain extent, and their formations had gaps and had to be dispersed to fill them.

At this time, the oncoming Svadia heavy cavalry had already lowered their cavalry guns, and when dozens of heavy cavalry put down this extremely lethal assault weapon together, it was also a forest of guns.

The two rows of guns eventually collided, and with the sound of a loud impact and the cracking of the poles, the spears of the Swadia knights and heavy cavalry slammed directly into the pikemen's shields, knocking the shield-wielding soldiers down and trampling them under the horses' hooves in less than a second.

The soldiers who greeted the assault actually stabbed their spears at the first time, and two military horses were stabbed into the body by the spears under the impact of the telling. There were also cavalrymen who were knocked down and dismounted by the latter group of thorn cones and spears. However, this could not stop the collective charge of more than forty heavy cavalry, and under the impact of the cavalry spears, those soldiers standing in the first row only felt a feeling of broken bones coming from their arms, and before they could feel the pain, they were thrown to the ground by the force of the impact, trampled by their horses, or mended by the cavalry behind them with spears.

Fatis also rushed into the opposing army's formation at this time, and several arrows fell on him, but he was bounced off by the breastplate without even causing a flesh wound. His spear broke through the shield and pierced the chest of a Rhodok spearman behind him. Like the other heavy cavalry, although the war horse was caught in the opponent's military formation, the impact was greatly weakened, but those panicked soldiers still did not dare to face their spears, and consciously moved out of the way, so their charge continued, and this phalanx was torn into several pieces by these heavy cavalry.

Alleyne and two of Vecchia's riders also showed the Rhodoks and Swadia mercenaries how Vekia's cavalry fought, and their cavalry spears were not very strong, and they threw them directly after charging. Then they would pull out their axes, and with a little force during the sprint, someone's head and limbs would fall off their bodies.

Mercenary cavalry and mercenary riders are a bit unique in their way of fighting, and they use whatever is at their fingertips. Some rely on mounted spears, others wield long swords, others throw flails and hold javelins, and all kinds of weapons can have a good effect.

Although Byron was on the other side of the formation, he still saw the heavy cavalry rushing into the opposing formation not far away, and the enemy infantry that they were crushing all the way.

The impact on him was not ordinary.
