Chapter 465: The War Begins
Half a month later, Phil, who had hurriedly returned home from the north, finally met Jason's army on the Plains of Pierce, and the color of the armor of the two legions was very different, which was clear on the battlefield.
And with the appearance of Phil's support army, those nobles who fled all the way finally had the confidence to confront Jason, and a total of 110,000 troops gradually gathered here.
If it weren't for the fact that their army had been huddled behind Phil's army, or had stopped at a distance from the battlefield, Jason might have made a huge difference in his mind.
It's a pity that even with reinforcements, these guys are still cowardly, or they don't want to damage their strength, because they are afraid that once they lose the power to protect themselves, Phil will find an excuse to take everything from them.
I have to say that Phil is indeed ruthless enough, because he gradually feels his authority in the kingdom because the existence of these nobles is not really displayed.
So he also took a similar action to Jason, which was to gradually start to erode the rights and interests of the nobles, trying to pull out the fangs of these vampires.
It's just that from the current point of view, these nobles occupy a large part of the power in the current Phil regime, and his actions have not brought him substantial help.
There are borers in a tree, and only a few small insects will not make the whole tree any better.
After two days of confrontation on the plain, the two brothers' armies finally charged to the sound of trumpets.
There are no intrigues and tricks, open and secret battles, only bloody and cruel legion impacts, hand-to-hand combat.
Moreover, this confrontation was spearheaded by Phil, and the group charge launched by tens of thousands of cavalry was enough to make any legion feel great pressure.
Although this cavalry legion is not entirely composed of heavy cavalry, the power they wield when their speed increases can still tear apart an legion.
It's just that Jason has already made preparations to avoid this situation, and thousands of warriors with spears and shields have resolute eyes, and some have fearful eyes.
Although some people will regard dying on the battlefield as an honor, and their own death can also give their families a monetary compensation, more people still inevitably have a strong fear of death.
Barney is the second type of man, and he is still terrified of going to war, even though he has survived several brutal wars.
But that didn't make him accustomed to the scene, and the stumps and blood everywhere always gave him great fear.
What's more, he's still young, he's just nineteen years old this year.
Two years ago, his father had died on the battlefield of the founding of the country, and now it was his turn, but he still had a mother at home and an unmarried wife who had grown up together.
It's a pity that this doesn't make it a reason for him to leave the battlefield, because in the entire Lion King ** team, there are not a thousand but eight hundred people with a similar background to him.
So he had no choice but to follow the army all the way, only this time he felt that he might not have such good luck to continue to survive.
Because his legion received a task that was no different from death, that is, to stand at the forefront of the legion to defend against the enemy's cavalry charge.
Their weapons and equipment consisted only of armor that had been with him since he joined the army, a spear and a shield issued improvisely.
It is said that these shield spears are also derived from materials captured during these wars.
It's a pity that the marshal's order does not allow them to disobey, and they can only take these rudimentary weapons to their own battlefield.
All they could do in this battle was to stab the spears out of their hands when the enemy's horses rushed in front of them, and as for whether they survived, they could only gamble their fate.
"Hey, boy, don't be nervous, we'll live, won't we?" Just as Barney was filled with despair about his future, a veteran next to him touched his arm and reassured him in a slightly trembling voice.
Barney swallowed hard, nodded mechanically and replied, "Yes, yes." ”
"Have faith in the future, boy, think about what you care about, and don't be too pessimistic, so that you have no hope of survival. The veteran showed his scorched front teeth and grinned a grin that was worse than crying.
Even though his legs were shaking with fear, he could still laugh.
At this time, a slight tremor had begun to appear under their feet, and those who were familiar with the battlefield knew that the enemy's cavalry corps was coming.
The veteran's smile vanished without a trace, and his face and palms were gradually covered with sweat.
"Cheer up! It's up to us to survive today's battle! Our mission is to get this damned group of cavalry to stop them!"
"For Cameron, for the Lion Kingdom, for Her Majesty!"
"For Her Majesty!"
"For Her Majesty!"
"For Her Majesty!"
"Fight to the death!!"
"Roar, roar, roar!"
Like the thunder in the sky, the cavalry in the distance finally appeared in everyone's sight, their armor reflecting the cold light, and the black wolf flag fluttering in the wind.
One step, two steps, one thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters!
"Archers!
There was a "buzz", which was the sound of thousands of strong bowstrings vibrating, very beautiful.
Immediately afterward, thousands of arrows rose into the sky in black pressure, and then fell with great speed in the eyes of the cavalry.
The heavy cavalry might have been better, the arrow landing on their sturdy armor left a shallow pit at best, but the light cavalry were not so lucky.
These sharp arrows easily pierced their light armor and took their lives.
Even if they were not shot at the vital point, they would have died under the iron hooves of their comrades behind them after falling from their horses, and nearly a thousand cavalrymen died directly or indirectly under this round of volleys.
Soon, under the numb and nervous gaze of Barney and other grassroots soldiers, the cavalry at the forefront finally made contact with them.
With a roar of rage, he stabbed his spear at one of the horsemen facing him, and raised his shield in front of him.
The spear in his hand felt a great resistance, and then he saw the knight's cold gaze, and then a huge force came from the shield.
Because of this huge force, his whole body was thrown out.
