Chapter 12 Therefore, it is very important to professionalize the military
3,000 heavy cavalry - although rounded, but the combat effectiveness is absolutely uncompromised. The large cavalry cloud set off by the cavalry did not only cover the super-long spear phalanx in the middle. There was also the left flank, as well as the hoplite line of defense on the right flank.
However, Egil's professional Viking warriors were extremely skilled, and after a round of throwing axes, the opposing heavy cavalry suffered heavy casualties. But a cavalry is a cavalry after all. Chewing the names of God, Our Lady, and King Alfred, the knights of chivalrous England charged to the death against the heavy infantry arrays on both flanks.
First and foremost were the elite dwarven soldiers standing in the first row. Although he had done his best to lean on his large shield, and stretched out his two-meter-long heavy spear, and fixed the battle axe in his hand to the ground, the axe handle supported the shield, making a triangular solid body - however, this preparation was only slightly stronger than the opponent's heavy spearmen.
I watched the English Iron Cavalry crash the elite dwarven warriors with their shields. Then he stepped on it, listening to the sound of the shield shattering. The dwarf king Wald "squeaked", rolled his eyes, and almost fainted. This was one of the most powerful dwarven forces in the box—less than a hundred of them had died in the attack on Hadrian, and it made him feel sorry for a long time. Who would have thought that this time, there would be such a large number of casualties......
Immediately afterward, Wald's eyes were red, and he directly felt the battle axe on his waist, and went down the bell tower with a roar. It looks like he's going to the front-line battlefield to fight the enemy.
After that, Egil heard the schadenfreude voice of the system elf again: "You can open the system interface a little bit, take a look at the battle situation, something very interesting has happened." ”
"Oh?" Egil was a little strange and a little curious, so he listened to the words of the system elf, opened the system interface, and then found the battle status, and when he looked at the surname of his own soldiers, it was indeed as if the system elf said, and found something "interesting".
All of your Scots' units have changed their surname columns, indicating "Affected by the Scottish National Hero's surname, +5 morale, +3 against England, +3 against cavalry, affected by the surname of the Infantry Master, +2 for Attack, intimidating nearby enemy forces." ”
The surname column of all Dwarven units has also been changed, indicating that "Influenced by the Orthodox Dwarven King's Motivation, Morale +3, Defense Skill +1"
"What's going on?" asked Egil curiously.
"This is the so-called personal skill bonus. It is a skill unique to a special powerful commander. Can provide a very strong bonus to your own soldiers - if you look at the caste of the English. ”
As a result, the caste of the English unit, which reads "Affected by the surname of the English national hero, morale +5, against Vikings +3, affected by the surname of the wise ruler, morale +3, defense skill +1."
"That's Alfred's personal skill. ”
“...... Also, why do the Scots and Dwarves all have positive buffs, but only Lao Tzu's army doesn't?!"
"Because they are not the supreme commanders of this coalition army. If the army is composed of several countries, then the skill bonus of the deputy commander of a single country can only affect their own strength of the soldiers. ”
"In other words, I can't get the positive buff now because of my own fault as the Coalition Commander?" asked Egil.
"That's right. That's it. The system elf gloated.
...... Well, it's not a big deal - although on the battlefield, when the English knights were playing against professional Viking warriors, they did not know why, and the combat power seemed a little higher, which made the Viking army, which was not as effective as the dwarven hoplites, suffer a little more casualties - but this is not a big deal, right?!
Egil has the heart to strangle the system elf at this moment. Why didn't you say something so important about your sister earlier?!
But think about it a little more: this, in fact, is really nothing - no matter what, the position of the head coach of the coalition forces, Egil must get it. This is related to the various stakes of n and n. For example, the spoils of war after the victory - including the distribution of the whole of England, on the battlefield, Egil can arrange his troops according to his own ideas - and it seems that Egil himself has a command ability, which is barely higher than that of the other two...... Probably.
However, at this moment, the consequence of the wave of English cavalry was that the entire cavalry camp lost its shock - the entire width of the opposing coalition was much wider than the line of 3,000 cavalry. Other words......
"On the flanks, the Death Warriors and the Dwarven Axe Warriors are dispatched. After Egil gave this order, the thousands of hoplite warriors deployed on the flanks instantly moved, and these warriors wielding tomahawks, although not as perverted as the hoplites, were quite impressive in impact - and the sharp tomahawks in their hands did have a certain restraint effect on the cavalry with a slightly higher position.
Other than that, it's a flank charge. Flanks, flanks, flanks, and flanks - flanks are very critical, there is wood, and if the flanks are impacted, it will cause a lot of damage to morale.
- Because it's so difficult, bastard! Where did you get so many opportunities on the battlefield for you to attack the flanks?!Or because you have more people, so you can line up a wider line than the other side. Therefore, it is possible to wrap the clip on both wings. Either that or use the legendary fast cavalry, go around and around, and then go to the flanks.
However, there is a slight problem here -- if you have cavalry, do they not have one? If you want to attack the enemy's flank, they don't want to attack you?!
So often the consequence is that both cavalry armies, both wanting to attack the opponent's flank, start a fire on the flank. After that, the frontal infantry continued to charge, and the cavalry on both sides fought against cavalry, infantry against infantry, and launched an incomparably harmonious and loving war.
Of course, this is not the case now. After an unsuccessful attempt by the English hoplites, it seemed that some of the knights and servants wanted to turn their horses' heads and charge again—but many more were red-eyed, and their hearts were silently thinking of God, human heads, gods, human heads, heavenly men, pig heads...... Something like that, even if you pull him, he won't go back.
One of the great drawbacks of the legendary knights is that they are too brave. Or rather, to put personal honor on the so-called victory.
They are not afraid of death. It's true. I'm not afraid of death. Or rather, they feel that it is better to die - 95 percent of them will go to heaven if they die because of the hard work. How wonderful is heaven. There are beautiful women, there is food, and there is nothing to do. Every day you can eat and sleep and eat when you are full -- and [***] are all white bread! And in the mortal world, you can also leave a prestige for fighting bravely.
Of course, some knights who did not want to die - but they were still red-eyed and desperately slashed and chopped with their swords - for merit is honor, honor is prestige, prestige is the envy and jealousy of others, the flattery of ladies and ladies, the praise of lords, knightly medals, and the addition of land...... Of course, if you find it troublesome, you can also convert these things into another noun, very simple, one word is money, two words are holes, three words are blockages, and four words are outside the body - so why do you need to see so much, knights.
In short, compared to professional cavalrymen and national knights like Egil, the traditional feudal knightly tragedy, tragedy, and tragic surnames quickly became apparent. The one on the left of the status bar shouts fiercely, and the one on the right charges without permission. It made Alfred the Great on the other side very troubled.
Seeing that their knights, though inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy, were now besieged by the enemy's hoplites, and that they were already at a disadvantage, at least fifty percent of the nobles in England were in the cavalry array in front of them. If they were all dead, England would have been in a state of chaos and no political axe.
-- Serfs without masters, distant relatives who want to rob the inheritance, sons who rush to inherit the title -- and illegitimate children, who do not pull or pull...... Then there will be no need to fight this battle. Because these people, they don't care who rules England - and they don't even care too much if this land is still called England in the future - it might be more interesting to change the king, to change the mood. Anyway, whoever governs the country needs to rely on their group of nobles. It's the same for everyone......
Of course, Egil may be different. But they don't know.
So they seem to be about to tragic.
"The whole army charged. At this moment, the only way Alfred could come up with to change the tide of the battle was this—he hadn't really thought about seeing it today. So he just organized an army of about seven or eight thousand into two arrays. In other words, Alfred the Great predicted that he would be able to fight about seven or eight thousand (dead) people today. However, the final result still exceeded the emperor's expectations - his two arrays were destroyed quickly, and in half a day's effort.
After that, the emperor felt that he couldn't get over the face, so he ordered the cavalry to charge.
Of course, after this, the Emperor still had no intention of going to war in an all-out way. He just wanted to use a large force of cavalry to see if he could eat these hundreds of improved Tomahawk cavalry of Egil, and that's it.
However, Egil was very careless and ordered his cavalry to run back.
As a result, the indomitable knights of England, like seventy yards of brake failure, crashed headlong into the line of the heavily arrayed coalition infantry, and looked like they were about to be annihilated......
What else could Alfred the Great do in such a situation?
I can't do it.
So, charge the whole army.
