Chapter 134: The Battle of White Harbor (2)

The Burton family is an ancient descendant of their ancestors, and their family history can be traced back to the heroic era. The family crest is a red skinning figure on foundation.

At this moment, his family's heavy cavalry, under the guidance of the red banner of the skinner, converged into a majestic torrent of iron armor, and began to charge at full speed with a protruding half-moon charging formation.

This time, Ruce Bolton's military exploits will be unprecedentedly rich, and those who kill ten members of Lynn's army in the position will be awarded the title of knight.

Twenty enemies will have a chance to receive the title of named knight from the vassal knight of the Bolton family.

The three defensive matrices formed by Lynn's hoplite infantry were just in front of them, and the eyes of the skinning cavalry flashed with fiery light.

At a distance of three hundred paces, the heavy cavalry pulled down the iron masks from their helmets, revealing only a narrow eyehole.

This helps to defend against possible enemy arrows.

When the line of sight is sufficient to determine the target ahead, there is no need for a wide field of view.

Fifteen hundred heavy cavalry, all wearing heavy plate armor, were awe-inspiring, this was a heavy cavalry in the true sense of the word.

It is where the real strength of the Bolton family's plot against the north lies.

Centaurs are equipped with well-protected armor and are known for their powerful impact and excellent defense.

The sharp and heavy armor, combined with the Bolton family's own cavalry spears, was their greatest reliance on daring to charge against the shield arrays that were waiting for them.

The cavalry spear is similar to the construction of a spear or javelin, but it is several times thicker than a spear, and only a cavalry with strong enough arm strength can really exert its power.

When the heavy cavalry was two hundred paces away from the main camp, the horse's brief dash speed increased to a terrifying value.

At this time, the heavy cavalry guns were all flattened.

The sprint is like a moving sharp wall.

If there is no shield, the armor-piercing ability of the cavalry spear can even directly tear the plate armor under the full speed charge.

In Lynn's camp, except for 1,000 longbowmen, 1,000 were scattered among the camp's arrows, and the remaining 4,000 longbowmen, at this moment, lined up in a double parallel queue, twenty paces behind the hoplites, in front of a deep ravine dug out.

The formation is a two-word formation.

"First column!

After the command of the Longbow Legion Jimenez gave the order, the Longbow Regiment quickly divided into two columns.

"Pull the string!"

"Zizi~Zizi~!"

As the command sounded, the sound of the bowstring tauting continued to sound in the array, and it was not only the bowstring that was stretched in their hands that was taut, but also their nerves.

However, the longbowman was only in a ready position at the moment.

The real order to shoot needs to be conveyed from the large battalion of the Chinese army through the sound of horns.

On the arrow tower of the Chinese army camp.

Below the tower are heavily armed Knights of the Gripen Guard, a dozen heralds ready to attack, and a troop of trumpeters.

Lynn didn't let the longbowmen shoot at the first time, and the bow and arrow were not long enough to do much damage to the heavy cavalry.

His eyes as dark as night widened, staring at the frontal battlefield, and even his breathing began to grow rapid.

As far as the eye can see, there are cavalry teams that meet the sun and shine in the dazzling sunlight.

The brilliance came from the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands, and those cold, deadly and terrible weapons reflected a dazzling sheen, standing out from the gray dust raised by the cavalry.

The Skinning Heavy Cavalry was followed by a variety of infantry, and the infantry ran fast.

It looks like it's imposing.

The scene of nearly 10,000 people charging and running on the battlefield is indeed very exciting.

These are the main forces that the Longbow Regiment needs to block.

At this time, the main army of skinners was running on the battlefield, and was suddenly covered by a black shadow.

In the sky above them, powerful crossbow arrows from large crossbow cannons flew swiftly above them.

A hundred ballistae with strong brackets, on which the main beam rested, began to fire heavy armor-piercing crossbow arrows in the rear army of the skinners.

The front end is flanked by two torsion spring sets, each of which drives a crossbow arm with a bowstring attached to the center of which is a powerful ballista in a woven mesh bag to hold the projectile.

A well-performing ballista is capable of throwing a 30-kilogram bolt at a distance of almost 400 meters.

Of course, the heavy cavalry of the Bolton family appeared when Lynn's heavy infantry regiment was a hundred paces away.

Giroud noticed something strange in the sky, and he kept his face calm and shouted at the almost deafening sound of approaching horses' hooves.

"Raise your shield!"

"Defend against crossbow arrows!"

In the center of the heavy infantry queue, shields began to be raised one after another, closing the last hole in the hedgehog array.

The large bolts rose high and began to fall with a clatter, like countless meteors falling from the sky.

The sound of crossbow bolts striking on the shield above Giroud's head was immediately resounding, similar to the sound of fist-sized hailstones striking on a cowhide tent.

However, large crossbow bolts are a hundred times more threatening than hail.

If even a trace of the shield is not tightly sealed, the heavy crossbow arrows can find an opportunity through the gap and insert them into the head of the soldier in the center of the shield array.

Under such a rapidly falling crossbow arrow, even the strongest plate armor helmet will not be used at all.

"Uhh

The terrible howl is so close that every soldier on the battlefield can never be perfect.

The dense and heavy crossbow arrows cracked a little gap in the shield array, and soon found a breakthrough.

Some of the heavy infantry fell down with a terrible howl.

Sharp, heavy crossbow arrows pierced through the entire skull, and then were firmly nailed into the dirt.

The crimson liquid dripped down the sharp and cold arrows, and in an instant seeped into the ground beneath the heavily armored soldiers' array, and more blood quickly gathered there into a pool of blood.

However, the soldier quickly closed the gap and chose to ignore the death of his comrade.

Because the upcoming rifle impact is the biggest challenge they need to focus on.

"Hold your shield!

"Hold your spear!"

"Prepare to ramble!"

Shadows hung over the front, and the squad leaders of the hoplites began to clamor hoarsely.

Fifty steps!

Twenty steps!

The ramming begins!

"Bang Bang Bang ——!"

The continuous sound of crashing sounded at the front of the battlefield.

"Hold on!"

The roar of the commander, the roar of the soldiers, resounded in the sky.

When the dull voice sounded at the forefront of the battlefield, Lynn's pupils on the arrow tower, who were staring at the battle situation, shrank slightly, and after his eyelids twitched for a while, the corners of his mouth immediately rose slightly.

There is no sign of a collapse in the formation!

The heavy infantry regiment lived up to expectations and withstood the full onslaught of the cavalry!

The enemy's wooden cavalry spears were pressed out of the array by the heavily armored shield soldiers, and the cracking sound of the cavalry spears crackling in pieces was incessant.

The skinner's horse crashed into a thick concrete wall.

The defensive formation of the hoplites was almost motionless except for the occasional breach.

Lynn kept a close eye on the battle, and although he withstood the first round of heavy cavalry, the enemy's massive infantry was also coming up at this moment.

Lynn's expression was calm and he began to give orders.

"Blow the trumpet!"

"Command the longbowmen to shoot with all your might!"
