Chapter 10 The Lion and the Wolf are the second, the array hedgehog

At this point, the war has reached a fever pitch. Gustav really couldn't figure out how the other party had managed to raise so many elite hoplites - did all his money come from the wind?! Envy, jealousy, hate, bastard. Can't your sister have so much money to share with me...... Uh, well, I look like I robbed his house. More than 400,000 were robbed. So forget that......

Gustav calculated. There is no doubt about how Egil managed to raise so many cavalry. Of course, coping still has to be coping.

At this moment, there were no cavalry under Gustav's command. He doesn't have a military branch with quality requirements like the super-long spear phalanx. It's a bit of a stretch to carry the cavalry on the back of the Viking infantry - look closely, the flanks, and the flanks of the flanks, the morale of the Tomahawk cavalry has skyrocketed after they have received reinforcements (Yahweh bonus, angel possession, invulnerability, okay I'm joking). The Finnish hussars and Swedish knights were already firmly suppressed. At the same time, on his right flank (Egil's left flank), a knightly army rushed directly towards the direction where he was locked.

At this time, the terrain occupied by Gustav is quite good, and it is a small mountain pack that branches off the Scandinavian mountains that traverse the whole of Scandinavia. Although it is said to be a small hill, it actually has an average slope of more than 30 degrees and a height of several tens of meters. It was difficult for the cavalry to charge. Along the way, a number of Viking warriors stopped them - though they were all punished by the knights for seventy yards. But it also inevitably hindered this group of cavalry.

Immediately afterwards, by the time the cavalry rushed down the hill, there were less than forty men left, and at least half of them were wounded. However, this team of knights killed and injured up to three times as many enemies along the way. All of them were covered in blood, and the fierce gods looked extremely terrifying.

"Bows and arrows. ”

At Gustav's order, the Nordic archers armed with tragic single bows came out of the ranks, and hundreds of archers shot at once—if the opponent was a tomahawk cavalry, they could not have shot through the felts of the opponent's horses to indirectly injure the opponent's horses—but the horses under the crotch of the opposing knights were accompanied by a layer of well-made chain mail in addition to a layer of horse felt. Even with a longbow, it would only hurt a little bit of fur at best, let alone a Nordic archer with a tragic monolithic bow.

In this way, with a round of bows and arrows, the knights shielded the door with their shields, and in the end they were not injured at all. After that, the knights urged their horses on.

"Damn ......" Seeing the enemy cavalry trotting and seemingly not taking the thirty-degree slope seriously at all, Gustav's side was sweating a little. At this moment, he has a lot of reserves in his hands, but they are all waiting on the frontal battlefield to rotate the tired troops. In addition to a dozen knights of the Guards, there were only two hundred heavily armed spear guards on the entire hill. If it really starts fighting, it's really uncertain who will win in the end. Seeing the Norman elite knights getting closer and closer, Gustav gritted his teeth, drew his saber and shouted, and in an instant, the wind flew sand and rocks...... None of them. Everything is business as usual, as if nothing happened.

Only Egil, who was holding a telescope on the other side, could see clearly. The blue light of the Swedish army on the opposite side flashed away, and then, the physical strength consumed by the Swedish soldiers completely recovered in an instant, and at the same time, their morale was high.

“...... It seems that the other party is using stunts. Egil nodded, retracted his binoculars, and sent out five thousand men of infantry again, little by little, replacing the troops who had been fighting on the front line for a long time, and then kissed the crumbling front.

At the same time, with the blessing of Gustav's Nordic heroes, more than two hundred Nordic spear guards around him, as well as the knights of the guards, quickly lined up one by one, forming concentric circles one by one, surrounding Gustav in the middle, and the spear guards put a large shield nearly one person high and the same as a door panel, and slammed it into the ground, and then leaned up, and then held the two-meter-long short spear with both hands, and looked forward with cold eyes. The whole circle looked like a stunned hedgehog. The most common, the most inconvenient, the most inactive, the most passively beaten, the most stupid, the most two hundred and five - but it was still slightly useful against cavalry.

The Norman elite knights were also ranger knights who robbed houses and roamed around before they joined the group. I've seen a lot of things when I traveled from south to north. It's not unheard of such a hedgehog round formation, and there have been losses before...... However, before it was before and now it is now, before people wore tattered chain mail, held second-hand riding guns in their hands, and under their crotches were old horses like donkeys, living a half-starved and half-fed life. And now, wearing the dwarven chain composite armor, a new overcoat - the knight can even have a fifth of the material of silk. The thick pencil in his hand was the finest apple wood, the tip of the spear was made of stainless steel, and the war horse under his crotch was also specially bred to be a child laborer who was just three or four years old, and his mouth was chewing white bread made of flour milled from the mill.

Therefore, the shotguns have been replaced, and the morale of the Norman elite knights has also increased, and the things that they originally did not dare to hit up, such as walls, trees, big stones, and the hedgehog circle formed by the Nordic spearguards, also rushed up to crash up.

Only a few Field Order priests were heard shouting the name of Jehovah, and the morale of the cavalry was at its highest. Immediately after, less than forty cavalrymen plunged headlong into the hedgehog circle. After knocking over a group of enemies, he ignored the short spears that stabbed from all directions, and slashed with his battle axe. However, with Gustav's blessing, the combat effectiveness of this group of Nordic spear guards increased to the limit, and although a short spear could not kill the opponent, it could make the cavalry stagger - and then the other guards swarmed up, ripped the knight off his horse, held down his arms and legs, and pulled his helmet again, followed by a dozen short spears stabbing and crunching and crunching.

“...... Hiss. On the other side, Egil looked in pain, and hurriedly put the binoculars back, there was no hope for this group of knights. Tragedy, pure tragedy. When the cavalry loses its mobility, the infantry is a coffee table in the face of a larger number of enemies, bastards. It seems that there will be some other way to fight in the mountains in the future......

While the knights on the right flank charged fiercely, on the left flank (Egil's right flank), a total of three hundred heavily armored cavalry, all charged towards the flank of the opposing array according to Egil's orders. However, because they could not stretch, most of the cavalry eventually got caught in the battle between the Tomahawk cavalry and the Swedish knights. Only a small number, also nearly a hundred knights and the Battlefield Order, broke out of the encirclement and crashed headlong into the flank of the Swedish army. Slightly shook the opponent's formation.

"Reserves, first, second arrays. Egil watched as there was a slight confusion in the formation of the enemy forces on the right flank of the battlefield. Immediately ordered the professional Viking war of the two thousand-man team to be thrown into the right flank. After the sound of the horns of two long (infantry), two short (first, second array), one long (sortie), and three short (right flank), two professional Viking warriors of a thousand men quickly charged to the right flank. Directly punch the gap on the right flank even wider. On the other side, Gustav also gave an order, and a large number of Viking warriors in reserve filled it, filling the gap in the entire left flank.

The two sides went back and forth, adding a lot of firewood to the fire. Egir relied on the system's special horn herald method, as well as the telescope, to get a lot of money. Orders were conveyed extremely quickly, and the army always acted one step ahead of Gustav. In this way, step by step, slowly, Egil's army gained the upper hand little by little.

At this moment, the sun is already in the west. The two armies fought fiercely for a long time. Gustav's special effects have long since been lost. The Swedish army on the opposite side was as tired as dead dogs, and the Norwegians were no better, and half an hour before the Tomahawk cavalry had slaughtered the Finnish hussars, and Egir looked over again, and the group of cavalry seemed to be unable to run, either men or horses. In desperation, the mutilated improved Tomahawk cavalry unit was returned. Remove your armor and lie down on the ground to rest.

And those of you who are engaged in sports (are there such people among book friends) may know that once human beings exercise vigorously, they cannot rest immediately. Otherwise, muscle tissue produces a substance called lactic acid (?). Allow the person's muscle tissue to be completely destroyed after strenuous exercise. Therefore, after a long run, or after a long time of chopping people, the most scientific way should be to do some slow exercises, such as the eighth set of national middle school students' radio body. After that, I slowly let my body recover - but.

Egil was not engaged in sports in his previous life and this life, except for the embarrassment of being chased by his wife last year, he has not done any strenuous exercise, so he naturally does not understand the truth of this. He didn't know about any of the traversers, let alone the group of turtles. Come on, such a group of hoplites is all over-exercised. Although it is said that professional fighters have good recovery ability, they can't get up and cut people for a while.

And just like that, the sun was about to set. Egil was very anxious in his heart. Although he has a family name that fights at night, he fights harder at night. However, his ambush along the way is not under his jurisdiction in the system statistics, so there is no night combat bonus - no, it should be according to the system elf: "It will automatically sleep at night, and you can't enter the battlefield." ”

If that's the case, Egil's efforts will be in vain. And look at the battlefield, although the Swedish military still does not show signs of defeat. But after a day of fighting, people are not iron-clad, and it is a little unbearable at this moment. So Egil gritted his teeth. It was decided to order an ambush - that is, another group of cavalry......
