Chapter 109: Street Fighting
The strict military formation was the key to the invincibility of the Spartans, and almost as soon as the two sides looked at each other, the Spartan warriors subconsciously held spears and shields and lined up to meet the enemy. www.biquge.info On the streets lined with houses on both sides, there was not enough space for the wolf cavalry to move and dodge, so they could only defend the Spartan army with their strong physical strength and tenacious vitality.
The scimitar in the hands of the wolf cavalry is a sharp weapon to kill the enemy in the high-speed galloping cavalry, but in this kind of extremely limited street fighting, it is completely useless, and before the wolf cavalry rushes to the front, it is pierced by a spear that is seven or eight feet long.
Previously, on the city wall, the Spartan warriors were completely suppressed by the wolf cavalry due to their scattered defense, and basically everyone was wounded, if it were not for the appearance of the Mongol light cavalry, I am afraid that the whole army would have been wiped out. Although these taciturn men don't say it, they already hate those wolf cavalry in their hearts, and this time they are naturally very hard.
The tactics of the Spartans were almost identical to those of the Roman infantry, all of them were blocked with round shields, spears and short swords, but the Spartans cooperated more tacitly, and the military formation of more than a dozen people was like an efficient killing machine, and in the short time of fighting, their eyes were covered with wolf corpses.
Seeing that neither the cavalry attack nor the wolf attack could break the opponent's formation, many wolf cavalry planned to repeat their old tricks, climbing the roofs on the left and right sides, trying to sneak around the back of these human warriors.
Just as the wolf cavalry appeared on the top of the house, with a sound of breaking the sky, a rain of arrows that made the wolf cavalry frightened was scattered on their heads, and those Mongolian light cavalry had already prepared outside the town, and once a wolf cavalry dared to climb the height, they would shoot them immediately.
Seeing that the Spartan warriors were blocking the streets, constantly harvesting the wolf cavalry with their geographical advantages and military formations, and there was a threat of Mongolian light cavalry arrows in the distance, several wolf cavalry captains rolled their eyes, and ordered the remaining wolf cavalry to give up the impact on the Spartan army formation, disperse and lurk into the town, if those human warriors dared to disperse and pursue, then they could be broken individually.
The enemy, who had been desperate for the constant impact in front of the army, suddenly turned around and fled, and scattered to various alleys and alleys in the town, and Dominic, who was experienced in war, naturally understood the other party's plan.
"Three, keep your distance, don't disperse!" Dominic's order, the Spartan warriors formed small groups and followed the wolf cavalry into the alleys of the town. The Mongolian light cavalry outside the town also rode around the town, and the rumbling hooves of horses continued to echo in the town, disturbing the wolf cavalry with keen hearing.
In one of the houses, two wolf horsemen saw through the crack in the window, three Spartan warriors bowed down and held shields and kept guard walking through the alley, and the two wolf horsemen made a look at their companions hiding in the opposite room, and at the same time broke out of the window and killed the three Spartan warriors.
With four against three, or from behind, the four wolf cavalry made up their minds to fight quickly and eat the three human warriors first. Although their idea was good, when they broke out of the window and stood in the alley, they suddenly found that the three Spartan warriors in front of them had turned around and rushed towards them with their shields, and three Spartan warriors appeared behind them.
From the expected four-on-three to six-on-four, the situation suddenly reversed, and several wolf cavalry were shocked. The narrow alley restricted their space to move and dodge, and six round shields squeezed the four wolf cavalry together from both sides of the alley, spears stabbed wildly through the gaps between the round shields, and blood poured down like unscrewed faucets.
When the six round shields were scattered, the four wolf cavalrymen collapsed to the ground like a pile of rotten meat, they had already been stabbed to death.
The Spartan warriors in groups of three kept a distance of dozens of paces from each other, and no matter which group was attacked, the companions behind them were able to quickly support and fight together, still harvesting the lives of the wolf cavalry with high efficiency.
When the day was bright and the sun was rising, except for a few wolf cavalry captains and their entourage entrenched in the town office, the wolf cavalry scattered in the town had basically been strangled by the Spartan warriors one by one, and the occasional omission to escape from the town was also shot by the Mongolian light cavalry on the periphery.
"Oh my god, those human soldiers are so strong, my hundred cavalry have been wiped out!" said one of the wolf cavalry captains as he hammered the table hatefully.
"It's strange, ladies and gentlemen, it's not the first time we've been at war with the Human Empire, when did the Human Empire have such a formidable battle formation, and those strange light cavalry, it's just designed to restrain our wolf cavalry!" said a captain with a somewhat mutilated ear to himself.
Faced with this problem, several captains looked at each other, and they could see the shock and jealousy in each other's eyes.
"If the soldiers of the Human Empire are like this, how can we live!" one of the captains lamented.
"No, no, this is not right! Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget that when General Hodder led us to attack Silverstone City before, the defenders of those city-states were all frightened, and that was normal behavior. ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?" asked one of the captains, impatiently.
The Captain of the Broken Ears rolled his eyes and said, "I suspect that these human warriors and cavalry are the elite of the human nobles in this castle in front of us who have specially trained our wolf clan, and there are definitely not many of them, but they are extremely dangerous. ”
"It's so hateful! These humans are simply deliberately targeting us wolf clans, and they must not be spared!"
"Such dangerous soldiers, they must not be kept, they must be completely eliminated!"
As soon as they heard Captain Broken Ears' analysis, those wolf cavalry captains shouted and cursed one after another, they knew in their hearts that once this kind of soldier was popularized by humans, then the wolf clan would probably have no future in the future.
"Rest assured, we have already sent Scout Wolf Riders to inform General Hode and the nearby Thousand Cavalry that they must be on their way here, as long as we hold on and report the news to General Hodder, this is a great achievement!" Captain Broken Ears comforted.
While the wolf cavalry captains were deliberating, heavy footsteps rumbled outside the town. After learning of the stubborn resistance of the remnants of the wolf cavalry in the town office, Leo sent four Viking pirates with him. Pirates carry heavy warhammers and axes, which are powerful weapons for breaking down walls.
From a distance, I saw the giant carrying the war hammer outside the town, and the twisted pigtails fluttering in the wind strode forward, and the wolf cavalry lying on the wall of the town office almost stared out their eyes, and shouted in their hearts: You are too bullying!
