Chapter 45: Riding on foot is the king
Time is like quicksand in an hourglass, silent, and disappears before you know it.
Dusk has arrived, and the sunset has quietly fallen, dyeing the dawn plain red, and falling on the bones of the battlefield, which is quite a bit of depression.
Count Noamon waited for a long time, but still did not see Benson return, he wanted to send a team of scouts to find out the situation, but he hesitated, because Count Noamon could have a premonition that the worst decisive battle was coming, and Julian would put all his hole cards on the table and attack at all costs. And by that time, the slightest strength was precious, he had already lost fifty cavalry, he had lost a powerful knight, and he could no longer afford to suffer even greater losses.
Baron Philip hurried back to his camp from the front and said to Count Noamun, "My lord, just now the Karazan cavalry dropped a corpse from our formation. β
"Who is it?" said Count Noamun, with a bad premonition.
"It's the Benson Knights. β
"Well, go down. β
Noamon was quite sorry for Benson's death, although Benson was very disappointed that he did not complete the task he gave him last time, but Benson was still a capable knight, and the most important thing was that Benson obeyed him and did not dare to disobey him at all, which made Earl Noamon very satisfied, he never wanted Benson to die like this.
Whining...... The sound of the horn came from Julian's position, and the sound of the horn was heavy, heavy, and heavy, announcing the final decisive battle. There can only be one winner at this table.
The Count of Noamon blithed his spirits and did not bask too much in the news of Benson's death, and he must not let up until the war was decided.
As Count Noamon had expected, Julian was mad and hysterical, and in addition to handing over the command of the cavalry to Edgar, he threw all the soldiers at his disposal into the battlefield, with the heavy infantry breaking through the phalanx head-on, and the light infantry attacking the heavy two-handed swordsmen on the flanks of the phalanx.
"Oh my God, what is that? battering ram! How could that stuff be here? The soldiers of the Noamon phalanx exclaimed.
On the left flank of the heavy infantry was the light infantry regiment, which was a light infantry regiment with a small wooden round shield and a short sword in the other, not because of Yurian's stinginess or lack of military spending, but because the blade of the short sword was very hard, and this short sword was very good for stabbing and could be effectively slashed on both sides. And because of tactical needs, the dense array soldiers do not need fancy swordsmanship, the short sword can be used with the shield to see the opportunity to assassinate, to avoid exposing one side of the body to the greatest extent, and in the dense formation, the short sword is not only more lethal than slashing, but less physical consumption, the stabbing is the least likely to accidentally injure their own people in a small space, and at the same time can maintain the integrity of the dense formation.
Perhaps you can see at this time that Julian is worthy of the name of a madman, and his army does not have a single archer and spearmen, it is a mixed combination of infantry and cavalry, and Julian believes that bows and spears are born for defense, and only cowards will rely on them, while he believes in the principle of attack, constantly attacking, attacking, attacking, and attacking. He believes that the best defense is to attack, if you can't keep it, you will have three lights, if you can't fight, you will run, if you can't run, you will change your home, and you will be egged.
"It's a shame that he came up with it. Count Noamon sneered, not in the least worried about the present unfavorable situation, for just now Count Simon's messenger had arrived, saying that the army was attacking day and night, so it was now a little rest, and it would come at once.
"This time I won, Noamun's roaring lion will not be castrated, and you, henceforth, will lose the right to play at the table. At this time, the Earl of Noamon was already thinking about how the Duke of McCarvey would impeach Julian.
The trumpets sounded again, and the Karazan army rushed to the positions of Noamun's army in a overwhelming manner. The Karazhan heavy infantry regiment pushed the battering ram to the tower shield and rushed over, they raised the shield to form a dense formation and relied on the side of the battering ram to resist the spears stretched out by the phalanx, while the soldiers behind pushed the battering ram and pressed forward continuously, and the soldiers of the phalanx used their bodies to cling to the tower shield to prevent it from being hit, and the heavy battering ram pushed and hit the tower shield again and again, and the tower shield made of steel made a burst of mournful sounds, and finally could no longer bear the huge impact force, and even the soldiers in the rear fell together.
The tower shield fell, the pikemen gathered together again, hundreds of spears Pinto stretched out and stabbed forward, but the Karazan heavy infantry who broke the tower shield did not abandon the battering ram, but pushed the battering ram into the position together, the battering ram is long and thick, and the spear is short and thin, how can it be comparable to the battering ram, even if hundreds are gathered, the long and thick battering ram is not afraid of the short and thin small short spear at all, ignoring the dense gun formation, and knocking the pikemen one by one, and at this time the heavy infantry took the opportunity to go up to mend the knife, brush and brush, and drop countless headsγ
And the regiment of heavy two-handed swordsmen on the right flank of the Noamun phalanx also fell into a bitter battle, because wielding the two-handed greatsword requires enough space, so the interval between each two-handed greatsword soldier needs to be large, which leads to the situation that they have to face 3-4 enemies alone, and for the dexterous Karazan light infantry who relies on stabbing attacks, they can always catch the flaws of the two-handed great swordsman, and the moment he swings the greatsword stiffly, a stabbing blow pierces the gap in the armor of the two-handed great swordsman, because the two-handed great swordsman is not covered with armor for flexibility, so a lot of joints are exposed, or the Karazhan light infantry uses the heavy swordsman's bulky point, raise their shields and charge together to trip the enemy, and then cut their throats to reap their lives.
It can be said that this time the situation was reversed, and the front of the Count of Noamon fell into an unfavorable situation.
It just so happened that Julian also received a small creed at this time, which said that the Mad Dog Knights led by Baal were about to arrive.
