Chapter 087: Strange Knight
In three days, the army of the Nord Kingdom, totaling 30,000 people, marched to the forest plain 10 miles away from Fort Reborat and set up camp, and the reason for this layout was to take advantage of the terrain of the forest terrain to prevent the other side from charging with cavalry... After all, on the plains, cavalry is the natural nemesis of infantry, and even the Nord infantry, which is famous on the continent of Calradia, is no match for the Swadian cavalry.
But in the forest, tall trees are a natural obstacle for the cavalry, so the cavalry can not play the advantage of mobility and impact, the so-called mount, in fact, it has become a drag and burden, the cavalry that cannot be deployed is no different from the lamb to the slaughter, and the infantry, on the contrary, can easily approach the cavalry, with flexible skills to kill the horse and the knight on the horse.
After the camp was completed, Iaya convened a military meeting in the Great Tent of the Chinese Army, which was attended by all the Nord lords.
Although Iaya and all the lords present here are colleagues, he deeply understands one truth, that is, an army must and can only have one effective voice in it! Therefore, he only symbolically solicited the opinions of everyone, and then unilaterally decided to leave the soldiers and horses of Lord Reyepoye, Lord Eden, and Count Olaf to guard the camp, and he himself took Lord Terg and Lord Suho to march to Fort Reborat.
However, in two hours, Su Hao saw the end of his sight, and between the horizon where heaven and earth meet, there was a faint orange-red line slowly squirming.
Is it finally coming? In the past, the troops who had only slaughtered the pirates and were trained with iron and blood, but today they are finally going to face the famous Svadia cavalry head-on?
Su Hao squinted his eyes, looking at the thicker and thicker orange-red lines on the other side, the sword was already in his hand, and it was out of the sheath.
In the nervous waiting, the cavalry, the most representative, romantic and legendary type of military in the feudal era, appeared in front of Su Hao.
1,000 Swadiab cavalry in orange and red armor were already on the plain, in formation, and two flags had been erected in the army, hunting and flying, one was the national flag of the Swadia Kingdom: the Scarlet Lion, and the other was the family flag of Count Dai Lana: the Three Bull Battle Banner.
The heavy horse's hooves kept knocking on the earth, and then they slowly stopped, and the gas that snorted quickly condensed into a white mist in the cold air, one after another, and behind them, the smoke and dust trampled by the long run, still stirring endlessly. As they slowly raised their spears, swords, and maces, a chilling murderous aura spread from the knightly formation, sweeping across the plains and wilderness.
They were followed by light and heavy infantry and crossbowmen in orange armor, a total of 4,000 men, who held their swords high and clenched their bows, step by step, followed by the Svadian cavalry.
This is the military might of the Kingdom of Svadia.
Iaya looked at the 1,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry and crossbowmen with a blank expression, and then with a wave of his hand, one after another strong Nord infantry came to the front of the formation, raised the tower shield, and then plunged down deeply, the tower shield was deeply embedded in the ground, and then the raised spear, peeking out from the gap in the tower shield, erected a steel thorn in the direction to stop the orange iron flow composed of the Swadian cavalry charge.
Seeing that the Nord army had set up a standard defensive position against the cavalry, the other party was not in a hurry to charge, but under the command of a command banner, the cavalry parted like a tide, and from the figures wrapped in orange battle robes and armor, a heavily armed knight rode out of it.
The knight, dressed in Gothic armor and a winged helmet, sat on a Dehrim plateau hunting horse, held aloft a rugged and heavy spear, pointed its spear straight at the Nord army, and shouted:
"I've heard that you Nords claim to be descendants of the Odin God of War, born warriors, but now it seems like a joke. In fact, as we have seen, you, 10,000 people, only dare to hide in the shell of the tortoise composed of tower shields and spears, and the tortoise does not dare to come out, and we, only 5,000 people, show off our military might in front of 10,000 Nords, and wantonly show off the military might of our Svadia. Therefore, I have come to a conclusion, that is, Swadiya are the real descendants of the god of war, and you Nords are the real shrunken turtles! Brothers, you say, right?! ”
After uttering this logical and insulting reasoning, all the Svadian cavalry raised their weapons in their hands and shouted: "Coward! Coward! Coward! "The high shouts came in waves, reaching into the sky, the horses' hooves constantly trampling the ground, the heavens and the earth seemed to shake, and the whole world trembled! The morale of the Swadia side rose in an instant.
On the Nord side, he suppressed his urge to kill under the effect of good discipline, but he was insulted in front of him like this, and he was really unwilling to do so! So a pair of expectant eyes fell directly on Marshal Iyaya's body, expecting his order, the order to charge.
Charge, Marshal. The prestige of the descendants of Odin the Nord cannot be desecrated, and can only be defended by means of iron and blood!
However, Iaya's face was still expressionless, and her sea-blue eyes did not fluctuate at all, and she was as calm as water. Isn't he the representative of the main battle faction of the Nord Kingdom? Why didn't he want to silence the knight in front of him who didn't know whether he was alive or dead? However, it was the long years of horse fighting and the valuable war experience that told him that once on the plain, the Nord infantry abandoned the shield wall fortifications and launched a counter-charge against the cavalry, the result would be only one dead word!
Even if the enemy only has 1,000 iron cavalry and 4,000 infantry and archers, it is these 1,000 iron cavalry that is known as the existence of the death of the infantry, and the real threat of the Nord army, which is dominated by infantry!
So he didn't.
But there is no doubt that if everyone stands up and does something now, then the name of the Nord people as cowards will undoubtedly be confirmed, and morale will be greatly frustrated!
This is a result that the Nord side must not accept when the two armies are fighting in front of the formation!
Su Hao calmly looked at the svadian knight, and a familiar feeling suddenly appeared in his heart... Why did this man's voice seem to have been heard somewhere?
He really wanted to see the other party's face clearly, but the winged giant helmet was a masking helmet, and under the cover of that steel mask, Su Hao couldn't see the other party's face at all.
As soon as the hoplite knight pulled the reins, the horse leaped high, sending up a myriad of misty smoke and dust. He shouted, "Are you Nords really cowards? I crossed the border with great difficulty, wanting to invade the territory of my Great Svadia Kingdom, but when I came to the front of the formation, I actually put on a turtle shell array! Are you really here as an intruder? Actually, you're all a bunch of jokes, hahahaha......"
Can't let him say any more.
Iaya then glanced at one of his henchmen, who understood, understood his mission, and walked out of the Nord army alone.
Dressed in chain mail, a helmet of horns, and holding an all-steel shield in his left hand and a broad-bladed heavy sword in his right, he was tall and looked like a warrior. He shouted, "I have heard that the Count de Grana in your army is a character, how is it, as a man, is he brave enough to fight me alone?" ”
"It's one, man, let him get out, dare enough, fight me!"
And along with the shouts of the warriors, the Nord side also shouted in unison:
"Brave enough, fight me!"
"Brave enough, fight me!"
"Brave enough, fight me!"
This person took the initiative to challenge the Earl of Dai Grana, undoubtedly wanting to save face by going heads-up, as long as the challenge is successful, he can kill the opponent's enemy chief in front of the formation, and the gain is undoubtedly huge; If the opponent does not accept the challenge, he will also be called a coward, and then frustrate the opponent's momentum and boost our military might; And if he fails to challenge, he will only lose his life, and as Iyaya's henchman, he already has the consciousness of dedication.
The heavily armed knight then jumped off his horse and replied in a loud voice, "Count Degrana is a noble nobleman of my kingdom of Svadia, how can he deign to fight you alone?" But since you are bent on seeking death, I can fulfill your wish, I don't need a horse, and I will fight you fairly! ”
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
The Nord warrior also raised his sword, pointed at the heavily armed knight, and asked in a loud voice, "Who are you?" Tell me your name, I don't want another nameless soul under my sword! ”
The man sneered and said, "My name is Han, and as for your name, I have no interest in knowing." Then he stepped forward and went straight to the Warrior Nanod.
The Nord warrior was furious, he had already shown that he valued the other party, and he despised himself so much, how could he bear it? He then took his sword and pounced on the knight named Han, and the two sides went head-to-head in the first round!
The speed of Han's move was extremely fast, lifting the gun, a simple forward stab, and then poking hard, the spear was like a long-dormant python, and immediately aimed at the opponent's throat and carried out a lightning kill! And the other party was caught off guard and could only raise a shield to greet him!
"Flutter!"
The moment the rugged tip of the spear touched the shield, the body of the spear immediately bent into a semi-circular twisted arc, and then under the action of the powerful elastic force, the barrel immediately returned to its original shape, and the tip of the spear slashed a series of brilliant sparks on the shield! With a piercing grinding sound, the shield was cut in half, and the Nord warrior was ejected by the concussive force at the same time, and fell to the ground! Han, on the other hand, abandoned the spear, pulled out the long sword in the sheath, and stabbed him in the abdomen with a sword!
