These super-heavy cavalrymen armed with spears. It is said to have been built in imitation of the ironclad paladiers of Eastern Rome. The ironclad paladier cavalry of Eastern Rome is said to be the hoplite cavalry of the ancient Sassanid Empire, and the hoplite cavalry of the ancient Sassanid Empire is actually the legendary First Persian Empire (the one that fought with Sparta and died in Alexander, covering an area of more than 9 million square kilometers. At that time, China was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it had not yet been reunified). And before the First Persian Empire......

I don't know.

In short, this is a very traditional, and later modified (e.g., saddle stirrup) heavy cavalry. In a sense, it dominated the era of heavy cavalry, and it was deservedly the strongest class. And even in this era, with the rise of knight ranks, the kings of various kingdoms in Europe are vigorously developing heavy knights, making this ancient class of troops seem a little backward, but those who underestimate it will definitely suffer.

Although it is much heavier than chain mail in terms of weight. So much so that the speed and endurance of the cavalry decreased. However, this kind of super-heavy cavalry, which is wrapped in heavy scale armor, is indeed extremely strong in defense. Even the Royal Knights under Egil could not guarantee that they would outperform it. If you want to win it steadily, only the guards knights under Egil's command, who are equipped with heavy plate armor even for men and horses, can be said to be the pinnacle of heavy cavalry.

That's it, close to three thousand lightly armed Cossacks, about eight hundred Poye cavalry, and less than three hundred duke's Praetorian cavalry. Such a force was not enough to fight against the nearly 5,000 elite cavalry under the command of Egil. But it should also be taken seriously.

On top of that, there are a few classes that are a bit confusing for Egil...... Or rather...... Or the existence of monsters. It was not just humans who served in the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Although he only appeared once in the chaotic cavalry battles in the past few days. But because it was too impressive, Egil paid extra attention. And after the extreme crushing of Nemulis, the exact number of this class was obtained.

Eight hundred and sixty-four in total.

Or horse.

So, jackals, kobolds, halflings, dwarves...... Why are centaurs and not centaurs?

Is it because the lower body is too eye-catching? Because the part of the horse is so eye-catching. So the final definition is "horse" and not "person." "It's that weird, unreasonable, weird thing where the upper body is human, and the bottom half is horse.

The human knight may have made the unity of man and horse the ultimate goal. But this weird, damn thing, shouldn't exist. The race that was desecrated, but did it from the beginning.

These bastards. They are natural cavalrymen - heavy cavalry when they put on heavy armor, they are archers when they take up a bow and arrows, and they are double cavalry when they ride a man on top......

Well, there's no such brain-dead setting yet.

In short, though, it's a very perfect, pretty strong fighting race. In a sense, it's the perfect existence for the ultimate class. This monster who lives in the steppes of Eastern Europe - no, it should be said, in the ice and snow of Eastern Siberia even farther away, and for some unknown reason joined the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. It has become the focus of Egil's attention.

Then, the war, in earnest, began.

Perhaps for the same reason as Egil, a large amount of information about Egil's cavalry was collected during the chaotic cavalry battle in the past few days. The other party also has a bottom in his heart. So, very coincidentally. Less than five minutes after Egil sent the order to deliver the letters of war to the Rus, the Swedes, and the Slavs, the three opposite countries also sent envoys to deliver the letters of war to Egil.

The time is set for tomorrow. Because he had been well prepared in advance, Egil did not find this proposal very sudden.

That night, Egil had a good dream that the day had finally come when he was standing on top of the world and ruling the whole world. And the other party, those Eastern European turtles did not bother them. All in all, the night was very peaceful.

The next day, June 17, 1002, the wind was mild, and there was occasional bloody rain. Two - no, four armies in two camps to be exact. The scale of the campaign is 50,000 vs 70,000. Actually surpassed the last battle with Poland.

Positive, because the other party has more people than their own, and there are vaguely three camps, and the gap between the camps is also very large. So in order to maintain the same wide front. The line of infantry under Egil was slightly thin. And not three fronts, as is usually the case, but two. There were much fewer reserves. But before that, Egil had expected this kind of thing. In order to prevent the tragic result of being forcibly broken through by the other side. Egil adjusted the arrangement of his own troops, placing the dwarven chamber guards in the backbone position, and mixing them with the decisive assault fighters to form a tight line that could be attacked and defended.

A three-column formation of crossbowmen was deployed on both flanks of the army, and it was slightly prominent. A half-moon formation is formed. At the same time, there is plenty of space behind the crossbowmen, behind which is an array of professional Viking warriors that curves slightly backwards. The entire formation, if cut down from the sky, would be something like this>
