Chapter 111: Flying Banners
(11.11 is a dog festival, so I will add more to everyone~)
When the balance of war is pressed into equilibrium by two not too heavy objects, an insignificant straw can break the long-standing equilibrium, and this cavalry of the House of Rodria is far heavier than a straw at this critical moment!
"Dada... Da Da..."
The sound of violent and heavy horses' hooves came into their ears, which also stimulated everyone's killing nerves, and when they looked up and saw the banner of the sword and rose of the Rhodelia family, their reaction was different.
Su Hao's Nord soldiers were all very excited and shouted loudly, because they all saw the flag, which was equivalent to seeing the dawn of victory. And the morale of Han Weiqiang's Swadia soldiers continued to be low, they only felt that the sword and rose flag that hunted and flew at this moment only showed death.
With the dust sweeping through the sky and flying to the sky, the true face of this cavalry finally appeared in front of everyone.
Rhodria hoplites.
The Swadia soldiers looked at this heavy cavalry, their eyes wide in despair, and their breathing became rapid.
Could it be that the Nord Kingdom, which is known for its infantry and cavalry is regarded as a joke, will also have such a powerful cavalry team?
Perhaps this kind of cavalry can no longer be called cavalry, more precisely, a group of steel monsters.
Bronze horse armor, full body armor, covered battle helmet, long knife, heavy shield, armed to the teeth...
Both the sturdy knights on horseback and the tall horses under their crotch were all equipped with heavy metal armor, which reflected a faint metallic red glow in the light of the fire.
This kind of cavalry, the Svadians have not seen before, in the knightly city of Paravon, there is a heavy iron cavalry dedicated to the service of His Majesty Harlaus, but they have never seen such a well-equipped elite iron cavalry in the Nord army, wrapped in bronze heavy armor, almost without weaknesses!
300 cavalry!
Dwight raised the crescent blade in his hand and shouted, "Rodria, forward!" ”
The cavalry raised their long swords and shouted at the same time: "Rodria, advance!" ”
After the overwhelming shouts, the Rhodelia hoplites rode their horses and slaughtered into the chaos of the battlefield!
Although the Rhodelia hoplites could not charge at full speed in the barracks with difficult terrain, even at a constant speed, they still had a superior impact effect over ordinary cavalry, for no other reason because they were hoplites. The heavy armor and horse armor bring not only almost no weak defense, but also a powerful impact! It's like a heavier healthy horse with much more impact than a smaller hound at the same sprint speed!
In just an instant, in a short instant, the powerful Rhodrian hoplites penetrated the Swadian formation, and the derivative consequence was the collapse and disintegration of the entire formation!
The Swadia infantry raised their swords and tried to fend off the charge of the Rhodelian hoplites head-on, but the cavalry charge was too powerful. In a flash, the cavalry slashed his sword, and the horse immediately rushed up, and the four hooves of the horses ruthlessly trampled on his body, and the bones of his chest and abdomen were almost completely shattered!
Finally, the Swadians began to flee.
Han Weiqiang calmly looked at everything that was happening in front of him, and the gaffe had really developed to a step that was unfavorable to him, but now was by no means the time to regret it, what was needed most now was to stabilize the morale of the army! He then rushed straight to the Svadia Banner, which was in danger and seemed to fall to the ground at any moment, and all those who tried to stop him along the way were all killed by him!
By the time he got there, the flag-bearer guarding the flag was dying.
The standard-bearer had five arrows stuck in his back and three swords hanging from his chest, and the blood kept pouring out, constantly flowing out, but even so, he still held the flagpole with both hands, and his feet barely stood on the ground, looking like he might fall at any moment, but he always stood on this battlefield.
He clutched the flag tightly.
He raised his head, saw Han Weiqiang, and said excitedly: "Han... General Han, right... I'm sorry, I..."
Han Weiqiang didn't say anything, just took over the flag... The Swadia military flag, soaked in blood and sweat, said:
"You're my pride, Steven."
Will... The general actually remembered my name?!
Steven heard Han Weiqiang shout his name, and vomited blood excitedly, he let go of his hand, his eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, and then used the last strength of his life to shout:
"Svadia, forward!"
Han Weiqiang held the banner high, and the Swadia military flag printed with swords, bows and crossbows and red lions was hunting and fluttering in the air! As long as the flag does not fall, then the Swadia army has not lost yet!
Han Weiqiang shouted: "The Swadia Army will be under the banner of my Swadia Army!" ”
When the sound was almost a howl, almost a roar, almost a beast's roar, all the Svadians heard it, and they rushed desperately in the direction of the flag!
In the course of this difficult rendezvous, a large number of soldiers fell on the way to the charge.
When the remnants of Swadia on the battlefield were struggling to meet under the Swadia military flag, Han Wei counted them briefly and found that there were less than 300 soldiers left.
Everyone's armor was tattered, and the color of blood had become the main color of this remnant army, and very few soldiers were not injured, while most of them were injured to varying degrees.
The eyes of the Svadian soldiers flashed with hope, yes, the current situation has reached an extremely erosive and bad point, the enemy is strong and weak, the enemy is outnumbered, such a situation is almost irretrievable, and it seems that it is time to give up hope.
But this man, this man with the title of "Svadia God of War", gave them infinite confidence!
As long as this man is here, there is hope for salvation in the situation that continues to be erosive.
Han Weiqiang held the flag in one hand and the sword in the other, and the heavy sword immediately passed through the heavy front and landed on Fort Repole, and then shouted: "Target, Fort Repolet... Just return to the castle, we, are the heroes of Svadia! ”
With Han Weiqiang's order, this remnant army finally moved, and they turned into a stream of iron! A blood-colored stream of iron unleashed a final round of impact towards the iron encirclement composed of Nords!
Su Hao quietly looked at the one that was surrounded by the group, and then ordered loudly: "Surround them!" ”
In many cases, it is not only courage and will that can win a war, but the more important factor required for victory is actually strength... These include the number of soldiers, the quality of the soldiers, the quality of the equipment, and the health, etc., and by no means just morale.
But in fact, now this remnant of Svadia is completely backward in all aspects, so although they have achieved great results in the previous battle, destroying the garrison of Lord Terg and killing Lord Terg himself, they still inevitably suffered a defeat when expanding their results... Su Hao's bones are still too hard, and they have been so hard that they have broken their front teeth.
But it doesn't matter, no matter how many losses they make, they still thwart the spirit of the Nord army, annihilating a large number of Nord troops, especially the killing of the lord of Terg, this noble head is enough to make up for all the losses.
So Han Weiqiang told everyone: As long as we return to the castle, we are the heroes of Swadia.
But only if you can make it back to the castle alive.
It's just that now, without external support, it will be difficult for the remnants of the Swadia army, which is completely backward in all aspects, to retreat from all sides.
On the tower of Fort Repole, Lu Qingyi, who was in charge of defending the city, saw this scene, and immediately said decisively to the soldiers defending the city: "Open the city gate, light up the soldiers and horses, I want to go out of the city." ”
