Chapter 136: The Battle of White Harbor (4)
When the heavy cavalry collides head-on, when they don't give way to each other, the most tragic thing is actually the war horse, after the cavalry spears in the hands of the cavalry on both sides are stabbed, it is the collision of the skull of the war horse, the war horse of the heavy cavalry is wearing special anti-collision armor at the skull, but the war horse collides at such a high speed, and only neighs and falls to the ground.
The cracking of the skull of the war horse is the lightest, and many war horses subconsciously deviate slightly to one side because of the impact, resulting in the front and torso of the war horse completely twisted to 90 degrees.
Of course, the heavy cavalry on the horses was no better.
The armor of the heavy cavalry was very strong, and the mounted spears of the opposing sides were too heavy, and if they did not grasp the angle well, they often let the enemy fly more than of course stab to death.
When carrying dozens of kilograms of heavy armor on his back and falling from his horse, the heavily armored knight will be like a turtle that has turned over its shell and cannot get up.
In the chaos of cavalry fighting, losing your horse means that you are not far from death.
In the confusion, Luce Bolton was hit by a spear, but fortunately the armor in his abdomen, the steel plate was thick enough, and after the spear pierced the first layer of armor, he fell off his horse.
Although several knights of the Bolton family around him quickly discovered this scene and instantly surrounded him.
But the heavy horse on which old Peellus Bolton rode fell down with a bang, and crushed one of his legs, which had been wrenched by great force by a look of the direction of his toes.
"Ahh
"Damn it, protect me!"
Ruce Burton felt a sharp pain, and his crushed thighs began to shake, and his wide open mouth continued to scream bitterly.
When the heavy cavalry is completely immobile and falls into a quagmire of melee, it loses its most threatening side.
The White Harbor cavalry saw an opportunity and joined the warband.
These White Harbor cavalry were not heavy cavalry, but they were armed with horses with excellent defenses.
The horse lance was also a heavy cavalry weapon in ancient times, and was an extended version of the spear.
It is extremely penetrating in chaotic battles.
Due to the high cost of making the lance, it was only used by a few nobles, and the lance was also regarded as a status symbol.
The only 300 cavalry of the Mandalay family in White Harbor was equipped with horse lances, and the local tyrants were extremely strong.
Sharp lances pierced through the cracks in the armor of the Bolton cavalry into their necks, or pierced through the less thick armor on their backs and into the guts of the heavy cavalry.
When pulled out, it leaves an extremely deep gap in the enemy's body.
Blood will immediately gush out of the breach.
Like a scarlet fountain of the human body.
A knight of the Bolton family, he desperately protected Luce Bolton, who had fallen off his horse.
A hole in his back was punctured by a mallet.
Fortunately, the location of the wound is not so fatal.
He reacted quickly and swung a heavy hammer at his back, which turned into a black wind and struck the forehead of a White Harbor cavalryman behind him, and for a moment the whole head burst open.
Under the repeated escort of the knights of Bolton, Luce Bolton was supported and barely climbed onto an ownerless warhorse.
Seeing that the battlefield had been reduced to a one-sided slaughter, Luce Bolton dropped his sword and held his hands on the protruding grip in the saddle.
Under the desperate breakthrough of the squire knights, he fled to the northern hills with the only twenty horsemen left.
At this moment, he had no ambition to make a contribution, and he just wanted to return to the Terror Castle in the north and be his Earl of the Terror Castle.
In order to escape for his life, he lay on horseback, under the escort of the knights of the Bolton family, and ran wild on the battlefield regardless of it, most of the soldiers who flew into the air, what about him?
The sturdy knight of the Bolton family led him all the way, and finally got out of the melee zone.
At this time, both the Bolton family's territorial army and the peasant soldiers he captured from Horwood were also fleeing in the same direction.
The knights climbed over a hill.
Having determined that the nearest enemy was still hundreds of meters away, and that they had not been noticed at the first time, the heavy cavalry began to shed their heavy armor.
On the north flank there was Lynn's hussar regiment, rounding up the runaways.
Since the knights of the Bolton family retreated from Jane to the northeast with Luce Bolton lightly, the light cavalry responsible for encirclement and suppression in the direction of the north gate of White Harbor City has gradually increased.
Demoralized and defeated, the Bolton soldiers were left to the mercy of Lynn's light cavalry.
No one has the courage to raise a sword against the enemy.
Everyone wanted to get around the light cavalry, so that they could choose to leave by water from the Whiteblade River.
Downstream of the White Blade estuary, there were several small warships of the Bolton family transporting baggage.
Old Skinner and his knights had intended so.
Luce Bolton was stripped of his armor by his squire, and lay on his horse's back, his broken left leg in unbearable pain, and he hummed and chirped along the way, and his expression was very hideous.
Behind him, there was a low and long horn sound, and Luce Bolton turned his head with all his might, looking at the chaotic battlefield, and his heart ached.
Lynn's army began to attack on all fronts.
The Longbow Regiment, led by the Heavy Infantry Regiment, formed a straight line, beginning from west to east, crushing all the way through.
Under this same configuration, any small group of enemy forces that tried to resist was ruthlessly crushed.
The heavy cavalry still galloped across the battlefield, sweeping the skinners who were running around like flies on the battlefield one by one.
When the enemy has been thoroughly combed from the battlefield, the entire battlefield has become a burial ground and a mass grave.
Weapons, remains, and horses were scattered across the mile-square-square wilderness.
Lynn stepped down from the arrow tower.
Because there were no more living enemies on the battlefield of the main attack, the skinners were crowded and fled in a hurry to the north.
"Did you catch anyone from the Burton family?"
Lynn stepped down the wooden steps and looked at the few messengers standing still.
The task of these soldiers is to gather more accurate information from all over the battlefield.
For example, the first batch of heavy cavalry of the Burton family to charge was completely wiped out, the cavalry of the 3rd Heavy Cavalry Battalion destroyed the ballista positions of the enemy's rear army, and the news that the White Harbor soldiers were completely wiped out by the 4th Heavy Cavalry Battalion on the right side and killed the commander of the White Harbor garrison, Sir Marlon Mandalay, were all collected and reported by these people at the first time.
Lynn finished asking.
A soldier in cavalry armor knelt down and said: "My lord, there is no news about this yet, but the Knights of the Guards of the Bolton family is in a fierce battle with my second battalion of heavy cavalry, and there is a White Harbor cavalry that is assisting our department to strangle the knights, and it is estimated that news will come soon." ”
Lynn nodded.
He said to the fat Hanniu Guftavo: "Hanniu, you take a sentry team to check the situation and see if there is any Luce Burton, if not...... Go to the headquarters of the Hussar Regiment and follow my orders, and set up a team of light cavalry to find the whereabouts of Luce Bolton, paying particular attention to the direction of the Whiteblade River!"
"Subordinate, never let down the trust of the adults!"
When Han Niu heard the promise, he quickly left.
Lynn summoned the herald.
"Inform all the ministries that, except for the squads that have been strangled and pursued by the fugitive, all the other armies will be reorganized and assembled, and we will ...... The troops entered the city of White Harbor. ”
