However, Egil's ideas were destined to come to naught in the first place. Indeed, the other party's patchwork of less than 2,000 heavy cavalry is indeed no match for the gorgeous neatness of the main heavy cavalry he has cultivated with great concentration. But if you judge their combat effectiveness in this way based on their appearance alone, it is really a bit arbitrary.

No, to be more realistic, it should be said that the group of centaurs had increased their speed to the limit at the first moment-almost completely unaffected by the weight of the armor on their bodies, and their speed reached forty-no-fifty-no, at least sixty yards!

"Damn - the crossbowmen retreat, retreat !!" Egir did not expect that the other party's speed could be so fast - no, it should be said that the defense of this group of centaurs is so strong - it is still not right, it should be said that the vitality of this group of guys is so strong, even after receiving two or five bows and arrows and crossbow arrows on their bodies, they can still continue to charge as if nothing is right! Seeing this group of unusually hideous half-man and half-horse monsters rushing over, Egir's order was a little late.

The centaur legion charged in a loose formation, some of which collided with the dwarven chamber guards, and the super-long spears were extremely lethal in the hands of the extremely high kinetic energy and the rock-solid dwarven hoplites, piercing through the armor on the centaur's chest, his body, his heart, and stabbing out of the back. In this way, no monster can survive. Although the centaur's face could not be seen through the helmet, it was obvious that there must have been a little more pain on the hideous expressions of these guys.

In the same way, the dwarven chamber guards could not have been unscathed—at the moment of being hit by the centaur heavy cavalry (infantry?), the hands that clenched the barrels of their guns with all their strength instantly broke and broke into several knots, twisting and turning into twists. It's not uncommon at all. Even if this guy with all his arms broken can be lucky enough to survive this battle, it is absolutely impossible for him to step into the battlefield again in this life.

This is the fate of the pikemen, and they are good against the enemy infantry. But when it comes to the cavalry, there is only one ending, and they all end up together.

Still, the deal was worth it. The ratio of battle losses between the Vault Guards and the Centaurs is maintained at about 1 to 1, and it is usually the Vault Guards who lose a little more, that is, to a level that can almost be ignored. And in fact, this is also the case when fighting other types of hoplites. One-to-one, with a hoplite whose value far exceeds his own, this is the best way to use a pikeman.

In comparison, the performance of the crossbowmen was extremely unbearable. Seeing that the monster on the opposite side had several crossbow arrows hanging on its body, it roared and rushed over, and many crossbowmen were frightened stupid in an instant. He even forgot to run away, and was shot directly in the chest and stabbed through by the centaur, while his teammates standing behind him were also shot - fortunately, Egil's crossbowmen were only in three formations, so they could only die at most.

In this way, after stabbing through three crossbowmen and knocking over a bunch of crossbowmen, the centaurs raised the spears with extremely violent brute force with both hands and threw them down to the ground, and their lower bodies were shattered by the screams of the crossbowmen who were not yet dead. The centaur then drew his long knife at his waist and slashed through the chaos of crossbowmen.

In such a situation, Egil's order to retreat seemed somewhat redundant. Because even if he didn't, the crossbowmen couldn't hold it anymore - the array of crossbowmen on both wings collapsed after the slightly slower hoplites in the back rushed over.

“...... Damn it. Egir gritted his teeth and quickly uttered a completely different order: "Don't retreat! Order the crossbowmen on both flanks to resist! The first array of Viking warriors on the flanks advances, and the first array of hussars on both flanks advances." Slay the rout!!"

A series of orders were conveyed by the knights of the guards in the form of a trumpet—of course, because the battlefield was a little larger, and the number of fifty knights of the guard was a little insufficient. Therefore, Egil specially arranged a hundred Norman royal knights, divided into two teams to stand at the rear of the battlefield on the two flanks, focusing on the sound of the horn in the middle of Egil's position, and then blowing the same horn sound. In this way, the command of the entire battlefield can be completely unimpeded, and it will not be like the ordinary medieval army, which has no command at all as soon as it fights, and is like driving sheep.

The brutality of the professional hussars is not only effective against the enemy, but also when it comes to the crossbowmen who have fled from their own side. completely disregarded the feelings of the robe, and waved the saber in his hand, which was the rolling of the human head to the ground and bones.

"The lord has an order! Don't retreat! Meet the enemy! Otherwise, there will be no mercy for killing!! The hussars with murderous faces were no worse than those half-man, half-horse monsters, at least in terms of momentum. The crossbowmen were stunned for a few seconds after being subjected to such horrific treatment. It wasn't until the hussars cut off a few more heads that they reacted.

"It's not that we don't want to fight, it's just that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great—"

As soon as he had said this, the head of the tragic man who spoke was cut off at once: "Then follow us! It doesn't matter if you squat down and hold your head to block the sword and make a meat shield for us—if the lord says that you are not allowed to retreat, you are not allowed to retreat!!"

Under such coercion, the crossbowmen were cornered, so they gritted their teeth and drew their short swords for melee combat, and fixed themselves next to the hussars. At about the same time, the main forces of professional Viking warriors on both wings had rushed up, and after a burst of axes, they also joined the battle with the centaurs. At close range, the lethality of throwing axes is much stronger than that of bows. This round of flying axes went down, and the centaurs lay down nearly a hundred. After that, the hussars rushed forward at a gallop and fought with the centaurs......

Seeing that the situation on both flanks had improved, and it did not have the effect of destroying the surname, Egil breathed a sigh of relief, and then waved his hand: "Heavy cavalry, the first array is dispatched." Then he picked up his monoculars and looked at the centaur who was engaged in melee combat with the hussars.

I have to say that the combat effectiveness of this group of animals is indeed outrageous. But that's as it should be - after all, they're all in one, and it's normal to keep the elite light cavalry in check. The first array of hussars totaled 1,200 cavalry, plus the remnants of crossbowmen, which were considered light infantry, and the first array of professional Viking warriors of hoplites. Under the nearly tenfold superiority of the Norman army, although they were defeated and retreated, they still resisted desperately. The long knife in his hand was able to cut through the plate chain composite armor of the captain-level Viking warrior under the power of the centaur monster - of course, after that, the knife got stuck on it and could not be pulled out - and was beheaded by the other soldiers.

However, there were also some extremely fierce centaurs, roaring like this, lifting the Viking warrior and sweeping through the army as a long knife. It even received very good results......

"Real livestock. Egil cursed quietly. At the same time, I made up my mind that if I had the opportunity, I would definitely get a group of centaur soldiers to join my army.

At this moment, the hoplites in front of them were cut down by the two-handed axes of the duel warriors after being held up by the dwarven chamber guards. Egil quickly made a decision: "Advance in the middle array! The daredevils form a semi-circular formation and charge!"

Immediately afterward, the Viking Death Commando in this circle roared wildly, and rushed forward with big axes, and the other side used all kinds of weapons in a mess - most of them were shield spears, of course, and some of the poor did not even have shields, and even many of them rushed up with farm tools and scythes and hoes...... The worst and most miserable thing is that a group of people who don't even have farm tools and can only rush forward with wooden sticks.

"Really...... The Swedes are starting to degenerate, too. Egil looked at the binoculars, and then stood and spoke without backache......

However, although the vast majority of the Swedish army was a temporary conscription, it was not a strong army. But Novgorod and Moscow's army still had a lot of strength. Novgorod's monkey version of the Viking troops, as well as Moscow's heavy armed axemen armed with scale armor, forest axemen, and professional spearmen, etc., still have a certain combat effectiveness. Thus, although they were cut off by the Viking Death Strike Warriors after a single face-to-face - the two-handed axes, clad in plate-chain composite armor, the Daredevils were like killing machines, completely ignoring the enemy's attacks, just swinging their tomahawks with all their might, raising them high and falling down hard, and then their heads turned over and their stomachs were disemboweled...... However, the coalition infantry array was barely able to hold back.

...... Probably.

"Kill all in God's sight!" the Norman Field Order, who had dismounted and armed their scepters in both hands, shouted as they marched with the hoplite array in the center. The soldiers on the front line instantly turned into a state of fierce fighting, and their attack power increased again.

This time, Egil also grasped the correct way to use the Norman Battlefield Order. Although these guys are also elite heavy cavalry - but, most importantly, these guys specialize in big iron clubs, and have no knack for riding spears. Therefore, without the ability to charge strongly, its strategic significance is not even comparable to that of traditional improved tomahawk cavalry. Before that, Egil's heavy cavalry was not very numerous, so he barely used these guys to make up for it.

However, this time, the improved Tomahawk cavalry was improved again and became the Norman heavy cavalry, a completely professional heavy cavalry unit whose combat effectiveness rose again. Therefore, the Field Order does not need to make cameo appearances in heavy cavalry. Except for a small number of heavy cavalry who charged in sequence to boost morale, the rest were scattered and placed throughout the army to boost morale. This configuration also enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Norman army a lot......
