Chapter 70: The Battle of Cen Shu Tan (2) The battlefield is stalemate, and the cavalry appears!

As the High Court army gradually began to adapt to the rhythm of the battlefield, the confrontation between the infantry began to enter a white-hot stage, and the brave and tenacious soldiers of the Storm Land against the well-armored and well-trained High Court soldiers were at a stalemate in various parts of the battle line.

Han Xing was shocked by this situation, the High Court army was so well-trained, and Randolph Tully was worthy of being the god of the Westeros army, and he was able to train a group of recruits who had never been on the battlefield into a group of quasi-elite soldiers with a good foundation for advancing and retreating, which was really terrifying.

After witnessing the deaths of countless impulsive and reckless comrades, the soldiers of the High Court began to learn the lesson of blood, and those dead soldiers used their lives to teach their comrades a valuable lesson and serve as a negative lesson.

The battlefield is the most important place for people to grow, because if you can't adapt to the battlefield, you will get more than just a cold reception or a spicy taunt, you will get a spear that pierces the chest or a sharp sword that cuts the throat, the battlefield drives people to grow with silent actions, and it has only one assessment criterion, that is, survival!

This requirement is not too high, there is no good and good on the battlefield, only passing or failing, of course, from another point of view, the battlefield also has its charming side, that is, even if you fail, at least it will not give you endless preaching, at most it will give you a painful "lesson", let you howl for hours, and then everything will be calm; If you're lucky, maybe it's just a matter of moments.

But in any case, the people who survived on the battlefield were not easy to match, such as the Gao Ting Army in front of them, although they paid the price of nearly a thousand casualties, but the living people began to familiarize themselves with the rules of this ruthless game and recognize its true face.

At least on the battlefield, you can fully trust your comrades, because you have a common enemy, a common goal, which is why the friends you make on the battlefield will last a lifetime, because everyone who survives the bloody battle is definitely not just lucky, only with excellent combat skills and a cool head, so every survivor is a friend worthy of deep friendship.

The army of Gaoting was unprecedentedly united, they began to truly believe in their comrades-in-arms, and unconditionally entrusted their backs to him, they may have known each other before, maybe they didn't know each other, maybe they grew up together, maybe one was a farmer in the east, the other was a fisherman in the west, and they had never left the ten-kilometer radius of their birthplace in their lives, but the war brought them together, with the same fate, the same experience.

Maybe a friendship will be born among them, or maybe a good legendary knight will be born from them, and a legend will be written from the commoner to the noble, or maybe they will tell their story to their children and grandchildren decades later, but that's another story.

Obviously, the army of Stormlands is far less united than the army of the High Court, perhaps because of the geography of Stormlands! The harsh conditions of the Stormlands raised a group of strong, strong-willed Stormlanders, but it also made them stormy and reckless, Robert is an example, which made them all unruly and stinky to death, so that they often fought with each other over trivial matters, what a woman, beer, a few provocative words, or even an unpleasant look for such nonsense.

Thankfully, Robert, despite his short temper and Jon Arryn's "corrections", is generally a man who listens to advice, but the ordinary warriors of Stormlands have no one to explain and guide them, so that they all "let themselves go" and completely drift away from the bullish temper.

In short, it is harder to get them to cooperate with each other than to climb to the sky, they are all typical individual heroes, they are all pursuing the principle of violent assault and slashing, and their truth is "if there is a problem that cannot be solved with an axe, then there is another axe." ”

So they began to be overwhelmed by the defensive counterattacks of the High Court army, and their explosive battle quickly exhausted their stamina, so that there were storm land warriors everywhere on the battlefield who violently slashed at the opposite High Court soldiers, but they couldn't break their shields at all, and even if they were lucky enough to break the shield, they would be blocked by the armor minus some of the damage.

And the soldiers of the High Court will not wait for him to cut themselves and not fight back, often when the Stormland warriors show fatigue or their movements begin to become sluggish, they will begin to fight back, and the Stormland warriors who like to use two-handed weapons are suddenly extremely embarrassed by the spear, after all, there is only one weapon, but there is definitely more than one spear that pierces it, often it dodges the first day of the first year, can't dodge the fifteenth, and finally is unfortunately hit, and then the speed of action decreases because of the injury (because of the pain of the wound), and then more injuries, In the end, he died because of excessive bleeding or being stabbed in the vital point.

The entire battle line is the scene where the High Court army began to counterattack the Storm Land army, the weapons of the spearmen in the Storm Land are far inferior to the material of the High Court, and they are completely at a disadvantage in terms of equipment, not to mention that the spear is the best weapon to use, the best to learn, you only need to aim and poke forward, although the High Court army is not rich in battlefield experience, but it can't stand the simple use of the spear! They poked the Storm Ground Army wearing leather armor, and when they poked it, it was a blood hole, and the Storm Land Army poked them, and the inferior spearhead could only leave a small depression in their armor, even if it was penetrated, it would only leave them a small wound the size of a stone, not to mention that they still had a shield in their hands to protect their bodies?

The storm army was completely pressed and beaten by the Gao Ting army, so that the right flank of the first echelon had been shaken, because most of the cavalry on the right flank were spearmen, this was considering that the cavalry on the right flank was only 1,000 people of Han Xing, and the cavalry of the other side was very likely to attack the right flank, so a large number of spearmen were equipped on the right flank as support.

Unexpectedly, the right flank of his own army was defeated by the Gao Ting's army, and it was about to be impossible to maintain the battle line, so Robert had to deploy the third echelon on the right flank to guard against the raid of the Randolph Tully cavalry from the enemy flank.

Among the 5,000 elite troops was the Storm Swordsman that Robert was proud of, these swordsmen were Roman-style hoplites equipped with tower shields and long swords (Han Xingyu), the addition of these heavy swordsmen immediately saved the decline of the right flank, and their equipment was the nemesis of the opponent's High Court army, all they needed to do was pick up the shield to block the opponent's spear, and then play hand-to-hand combat with him.

We all know that spears are almost useless in close combat, after all, spears are pointed, and they need to be stabbed to deal damage, and when the enemy comes to close range, the spearhead will not be able to stab people, and they can only sweep with the barrel of a gun, but what is the difference between this and a stick?

What's more, these swordsmen joined the battle from their flanks, and when they were caught off guard, these high court spearmen were immediately inflicted astonishing damage, and the swordsmen slaughtered into their ranks and harvested them with great efficiency, as if they were cutting leeks.

A swordsman swung his sword and cut off an enemy's spear, then began to approach him in his stunned eyes, and although several of his companions also stabbed their spears, they were blocked by the swordsman with his shield, and the swordsman didn't care that the guy poked his armor in vain with a frightened machine with a wooden stick without a spearhead, and stepped forward to seal his throat with a sword.

Such scenes were played out everywhere throughout the battlefield, and the disadvantages of the high court army's use of spears were revealed, causing them to resemble the Macedonian pikes phalanx that had been approached by the Roman legions.

At this moment, Randolph Tully's cavalry moved, and they rushed towards the exposed back of the 5,000 elites like a tide, obviously, at this time, Randolph Tully fell into passivity, if the swordsmen were allowed to slaughter the spearmen on the left flank of the Gao Ting Army, the left flank would collapse, which would cause the Chinese army and the right flank to fall into the disadvantageous situation of being surrounded by the enemy.

It was wise to send the cavalry to attack the swordsmen, because the swordsmen's swords and shields were obviously no match for the cavalry, and it was for this reason that the Roman legions were beaten by Attila.

But will Robert make it easy for them to do so? Of course not, he immediately sent 1,000 cavalry from the cavalry to the right flank, cooperated with Han Xing's troops to drag Randolph Tully's cavalry, and then let the spears on the right flank of the second echelon in the rear surround and eat them while the cavalry on the right flank was entanglement with Randolph Tully's cavalry.

Robert himself led the remaining 3,000 elite knights directly behind the left flank and the center of the Gao Ting army, as long as this charge was made, the Gao Ting army would fall apart due to the enemy on its belly and back, and from the current situation, Robert had the advantage.

Han Xing, just as Robert hoped, immediately patted his horse and led the 1,000 cavalry towards Randolph Tully's cavalry, in fact, although the cavalry hedge is very visually stunning, it is true that almost all commanders have to try to avoid it, because it is not easy for people to ride on horses, and they have to poke each other, you must know that even if you are wearing armor, if you unfortunately fall off the horse, it will be over! After all, the horseshoe of the war horse is nailed to the horseshoe, and the weight of a knight and the war horse is definitely more than 200 kilograms, and the person who has been trampled by the horse's hooves will definitely become a corpse with a rotten stomach and an unrecognizable corpse.

A qualified knight is not easy to cultivate, you need to start practicing wielding weapons from an early age, work hard, more than ten years to become a talent, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, death and injury are inevitable, so the knight must be well protected, only at the most critical moment to dispatch, after all, the levy is always a big handful.

But in order to protect the back of the third echelon, Han Xing's mobile troops and the 1,000 reinforcements will have to hedge against the cavalry on the opposite side.
