Chapter 14: The First Battle
Every word was full of hatred and provocation, and the tone was passionate, and after the words were finished, everyone really felt a deep sense of war.
Immediately, a tall officer stood up and said in a loud voice: "General Siviène, please let me be the vanguard! I will lead the soldiers to charge bravely, and make those despicable Andusians regret stepping into our land!"
Then the agitated young officer stood up: "General Siviène! Andre Alvin asks for battle! Please let me lead the main force to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy!"
"General, please let my subordinates press the formation as the rear troops! We will strictly guard against surprise attacks on the flanks and rear of the enemy troops! Provide the most solid rear support for the large army!"
"The horses are ready, the military doctors have been mobilized, the supplies have been distributed!
Silvein gave an order: "Attack ——!!!"
......
In the midst of the chaos, Horn grabbed the soldier who led her into the barracks and asked, "What about the green-eyed boy who came in with me?"
The soldier quickly looked around left and right, and said quickly: "Your Highness!
How can such a big man and a horse disappear out of thin air?
Never mind......
I'm not looking for it.
Horn didn't bother to care about him anymore, this kind of mortal risk went to the battlefield and others had no position to help her anymore, and it was normal to leave.
Horn clamped the horse's belly and said in a deep voice: "Keep up with General Siviin's main force!"
......
The vanguard consisted of heavy cavalry, armed with the finest horses, the most elite warriors, the heaviest armor, and sharp weapons. The moment all the iron riders took their first step, the earth trembled. They roared and fought like an unstoppable tiger as they rushed towards the enemy forces outside the city.
This army, which had been loyal to Moore VIII for many years, quietly changed at this moment.
Horn wore a cloak and a sharp sword at his waist, and followed closely behind the main army led by Silvein.
The front came to report, the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest of the city, the north and south gates had been broken, and seventy percent of the royal knights had rebelled, so the Andus army easily controlled the two gates, and the west gate was also crumbling under the onslaught of the Andus army at the moment.
"Whew-"
With the sound of the first horn, the first round of the charge of the forward troops began.
The first wave is a formation that rushes the enemy in a dense formation. Because of the weight, they don't hit fast and most likely won't be faster than a trot. However, the impact of this clumsy way is quite enormous.
Andus's army was storming Simon, and they were relieved to think that Silvein's army was firmly held back, so when they suddenly saw the heavy cavalry on the plain in the dark night, their first reaction was disbelief, then panic, and finally timidity grew silently.
"What, what's going on?!That's Sikaya's army!"
"Damn!How can there be so many people?!Aren't those noble armies in the city still dreaming?!"
"Come, come, come...... They're coming! They're coming!"
——!!!The heavy cavalry straddled their horses and charged towards the Andusian archers and infantry on the plains outside the city with the force of a devastating impact.
Sivane had the most elite troops in the empire, and in this era of underdeveloped metallurgical technology, this heavy cavalry was extremely expensive. They had done great service to Moore VIII, and countless enemies had fallen under the iron cavalry of this heavy cavalry.
Therefore, the light infantry, slingers, and archers of Andus, these special arms used to siege the city, under the onslaught of the iron cavalry, there was no suspense, and they quickly collapsed.
Many of the enemies were killed by the impact, and then trampled into flesh by the horses that followed.
"Woo-" The second horn sounded, and the war drums beat to the sky.
"Raise your shield and raise your spear!"
The second wave of the heavy cavalry attack began. They bravery managed to break through, and then through the ensuing battle, they broke the enemy's ranks, allowing the frightened enemy forces to flee.
However, in contrast to the powerful impact lethality of the heavy cavalry on the plains, their combat effectiveness is single, their reaction power is poor, their combat endurance is weak, and their mobility is poor.
After the two waves, the fatal flaws are clear at a glance.
Thus, in the ensuing melee, the enemy infantry was also brave and professional, and they fought bravely, and the heavy cavalry and their horses fell to the ground, and then were trampled by their knightly comrades, who crowded together to fight. Each knight gasped in their armor and searched for enemies through narrow gaps in their masks.
The charge is clearly over.
Unlike ancient China, the princes and ministers of ancient China preferred to retreat to the rear and stay in a safe place to guide the country—most of them were executed when they were captured.
Western aristocrats like to lead the charge, and when captured, most of them are not killed.
Therefore, in the midst of the passionate war drums and horns, Sivi personally led the main army to directly attack: "Main force, attack!"
The enemy was not a soft persimmon either, they came prepared, and after the heavy cavalry attacked, reinforcements from the troops elsewhere in Andus had already arrived at a rapid pace.
Horn stirred his horse for a moment, then stopped where he was.
There was no proper armor for her in the barracks, and she had no protective gear other than a longsword given to her by Silvein.
She only thought about it for half a second, and then decided not to get into this scuffle for the time being.
There are too many people, she has zero armor now, and it is too easy to die directly by rushing!
The advance of the main army brought gusts of night wind whistling past her, and in the hazy dawn, Horn witnessed the real backward and brutal war of ancient times—
This was the first cold weapon war Horn experienced.
It was the most shocking, cruel and bloody scene she had ever seen in her two lifetimes!
This is the backward era of cold weapons, and this is a battle of swords and swords on flesh and blood!
Cold weapons are completely different from slashing
E weapons shoot from long distances. Modern weapons are overloaded, most of them die directly when they are hit, and the most you see are blood holes, and there are no particularly cruel and bloody pictures.
And the cold weapons, what you see on the battlefield are the stumps and broken arms that are cut off with every sword, and they are sprinkled all over the ground under the ruthless charge of the iron cavalry
AO pulp intestines.
Amid the mournful trumpets were the wails of a great number of undead men, trampled to death by horses who did not know their friends or foes, or pierced through the hearts by the sword of the enemy.
In all directions, there will be red-eyed enemies with knives at any time.
Some of them still have a few freshly cut off heads hanging from their waists, covered in blood, and they can't tell whether it is their own blood or someone else's. As soon as he was slashed in the face, a bloody wound was pulled diagonally down from his right forehead and slashed through his right eye, and the eyeball flowed out and hung on the side.
A living purgatory on earth.
Even if it was Horn, in the face of this scene of corpses and blood, stumps and broken arms, he could not help but turn pale and sweat coldly at this moment.
She dares to kill, but she doesn't have the fetish of whipping corpses. Horn is still a modern man at heart.
The life of modern people is far better than that of the ancients, and the blood nature will naturally be much lighter.
If a gun is given to a modern person and asked to go to the battlefield and shoot at people, at least seven or eight out of ten will dare to do it. But he gave him the knife and told him to cut him at the same time, and he hacked the other man to death, and cut off all his arms, legs, and intestines
AO pulp was sprinkled on the ground, and the eyeballs rolled out, there are really only a handful of people who dare to do it, and they can't pick out a few out of 10,000 people.
Modern people's thinking is too complicated, most people lack the bloody nature of winning and fighting, how many people dare to take a spear and face the cavalry rushing over?
Modern people can practice formations in a few days and know tactics, but standing in a well-arranged team, who dares to resist the sprint of the war horse without taking a step back?
The situation on the battlefield of modern warfare is complex, and soldiers have to deal with many situations.
But in the age of cold weapons, too many thoughts can make people timid. A soldier who thinks too much is not the best soldier.
On the ancient battlefield, as long as a soldier knew how to carry out orders, he was the best soldier.
The difference between modern and ancient times is that life is too good, and it is sparing life, shells and bullets are fired, and I didn't know it before, and I didn't face the deepest panic of death.
The reason why modern heroes are heroes is because they know that they will die in this way, and they will grit their teeth and rush forward.
Horn suddenly felt a heartfelt admiration for these people.
The soldier who was sent by Syvein to protect her next to her saw that her face was not good, and thought that she was afraid, so he said: "Your Highness, you can take a back seat to rest!
Who knew that Horn refused: "I said that I would advance and retreat with the soldiers, how can I break my word?!I am also a member of the Sikaya Empire, and I am still the imperial family of the empire, so I should take the lead!"
After the shock, Horn's heart swelled up with deep madness and heat.
She clenched her sword, her green eyes dim.
Extremely secretive, the collision of humanity and savagery brought about by this primitive slash is incomparably exciting!
Therefore, she pinched the belly of the war horse fiercely, leaned forward to urge the war horse to gallop, drew her long sword, and directly followed the main force of Xi Weiyin!
