Chapter Seventy-Six: The Battle of Budapest IV, Minotaur United
The war has been a wave again. The two wings of the phalanx of the Swiss Guards. A total of 2,000 Papal Guards formed a ten-by-ten phalanx and slowly advanced to protect the two wings of the Swiss Guard. The faces of the soldiers in this phalanx are all facing outward. However, he was still able to walk in unison, with the front five rows moving forward and the back five rows moving backwards, which seemed to be even more rare than the Swiss Guards. The whole phalanx was like an iron hedgehog in motion. There is no place to put your mouth at all.
At the same time, the cross guns in the hands of these soldiers were more lethal than the usual one-handed short guns or spears. The tip of the cross is thickened and lengthened, making it more powerful than a normal spear. The barbs at both ends of the cross are much heavier, looking like pickaxes or short-handled pickaxes, which can be used to pierce armor when swung with all their might. The head of this cross-gun was heavy, so a counterweight of tapered iron was added to the tail of the gun. to maintain the balance of the gun. It can also stab paralyzed enemies on the ground while being erected.
It is such a weapon, which is very convenient to cut, stab and peck, and it is a special equipment that the Papal Guard is proud of. Because the Papal Guard was not too involved in the war. Such cross-gun weapons have no good reputation. This is the time for the Papal Guard to make a name for itself!
I saw that the attack power of the cross gun was strong. Whether it is a slash or a thrust, it can achieve a certain armor-piercing effect, and the wound caused by the tip of the gun is extremely deep, and if the injured person does not receive treatment quickly, he will definitely die of excessive blood loss. The armor of the Dongluo Horse Heavy Infantry, whether it was a shield or armor, could not withstand the smashing of the cross-spear barbs. And the spears of the heavy infantry of Dongluo are difficult to inflict enough damage on the papal guard~
In this way, the Papal States, with no more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, were stunned to force back the hoplites of the Ten Thousand Eastern Horses on the opposite side! The Swiss halberds in the hands of the Swiss Guards in front of them were waved up and down like a stormy wave, and the offensive was like a tide. And the two wings of the Papal Guard are both offensive and defensive, as one. Impeccable. Such an elite soldier made Dong Luo immediately break out in a cold sweat. At the same time, the Italian Army's "Watermark" team was greatly encouraged, and the morale of the originally slightly depressed team was greatly boosted again. Under the desperate attack, the "Watermark" team of the Dongluo Horse Army was defeated again and again!
At this moment, the entire battlefield was already covered with the corpses of soldiers on both sides. The Italian heavy cavalry, pilgrims, and crusader knights who had begun the battle had already died. Even the corpses were torn to shreds in the heat of the battle. Stumps and severed arms, bloody corpses, and fragments of weapons and armor were scattered everywhere.
The Italian Crusader Army, with a total of 50,000 troops, has lost most of its current losses. Now there are only about 20,000 left. However, the successive "watermarks" have completely exploded the courage in the hearts of these originally timid and fearful citizens! Now even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, these warriors who have fallen into a state of frenzy dare to break through!
"Rush the watermark! Continue to rush the watermark! Do you see, great warriors of Christ the Lord?! In front of us is the banner of the heretical, depraved Emperor Dongluoma! We will soon see the devil outside! Rush forward, take down his banner, and cut off his head! Jesus Christ is watching us!!"
A bishop who rushed to the front, scepter in his hand, and his cloak a little more demonic shouted. Then it was opened by a galloping ironclad paladon with a mace. And the ironclad paladon was also grabbed by the horse's leg by two Italian soldiers. The Ironclad Paladins panicked, pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse's legs were raised high, and with a flick, he shook off an Italian, and then stepped heavily on his head. Directly stepped on a. However, in the very moments, several more Italian soldiers pounced on him and pulled him off his horse.
The fierce head of the ironclad paladier hit the ground first, and he was thrown to pieces, and when this guy came to his senses a little, he heard a "squeak" of the metal bearing turning, and his face armor was removed by the other party. Immediately after that, the line of sight widened, the dazzling sunlight, the strong smell of blood, and the cold light and glittering spears one by one
"Ah......h
After that, the ironclad paladon only had time to shout half of it, and the remaining half was stuck in his throat. He heard only a "squeak", and the spear had already poked into his eye socket. ,
Smash his brain. The ironclad paladon held his breath. The body is still trembling~
The Italian sergeants who had just joined forces to besiege and kill an ironclad paladon suddenly felt that their strength was incomparably strong. After fumbling around with that ironclad paladon for a while, he touched out the guy's family crest as a certificate for receiving rewards in the future. Then he stood up, raised his spear and shouted excitedly
One by one, however, halfway through their shouting, they suddenly heard a buzzing sound getting louder and louder. Several of the experienced soldiers turned pale. I was trying to dodge, but it was too late to shoot dozens of feathered arrows from the sky, shooting these happy and sad guys like hedgehogs. The boat of "puff" and "puff" was on the ground. One of them let go of his hand. The coat of arms from the Iron Paladins fell to the ground. The oval coat of arms of the inconspicuous one spun around twice on the ground, and then fell down with a "click......
This situation is only a microcosm of the battlefield. The Italian "Watermark" team continued to attack. Completely ignoring the consequences of the fact that the two wings have been surrounded by the "Watermark" team of the Eastern Luo Horse Army, it is already very close to the place where the Emperor of the Eastern Luo Horse is already Sir II!
"Your Majesty...... Otherwise, let's step back a bit?" said the Greek general beside Sil II, who couldn't help it.
As a result, Sil II glared at him and shouted, "Whoever dares to retreat again, behead!" The surrounding generals immediately fell silent.
As soon as the banner retreats, the morale of the army will be taken away, and when the time comes, the retreat will turn into defeat. The battle that could have been won had to be lost. He is the Emperor of Dongluo and Horse. God favors and bestows on the Lord of Constantinople, the King of the World, how can he afford such a loss?!
Of course, Sil II knew that this would not work any longer. After a moment's hesitation, he looked at the "Watermark" team of the Italian army, which was constantly approaching with bows and arrows and javelins. I finally made up my mind.
"Order the 1st to 5th Royal Guards Brigade to attack, order the 1st Minotaur Wing to attack......"
As mentioned before, the Eastern Luo Horse Imperial Forest Army is the hero of the "Watermark" team of the Imperial Army. A total of seven of them followed him as treasures. In order to turn the tide of the war, Sir II had a total of five brigades. That's 1,500 elites in total! It can be said that these soldiers wearing heavy scale armor and holding spears and shields heard the order, and immediately rushed towards the battlefield with uniform steps and fighting spirit, first throwing spears one by one, and then forming a tight battle formation, rushing towards the Italians in the desperate "watermark" front. The spear in his hand and the sword rolled up the sky with a rain of blood. The tide of battle was stabilized immediately. True to the name of the Guards!
However, the so-called First Wing of the Minotaurs did not know what it was, and after hearing this name, the faces of the generals of Dongluo Luma changed slightly. Some don't come naturally.
"What's the matter?! You all claim to be daring. How can you be scared like this when you only see one name?!" exclaimed Sil II.
"Sun...... Your Majesty...... They are also children of Christ...... Imperial law once stated that the Minotaur Wing could only be used in battles with the infidels ......"
"Don't worry about that old calendar!" said Sil II, waving his hand: "The so-called regulations are for the bold to break!
I heard the emperor say so. And the people were speechless. Within a moment, everyone heard a rumbling sound behind them, and the earth shook. Immediately afterwards, he was more than three meters tall, wearing only shoulder pads and a pair of shorts, and he was burly and unpresentable. The big man with a huge battle axe in his hand quickly ran to the side of the second king of the city, and even if he was on a horse, he was a head taller than the second king of the horse.
A bull's head.
A hideous bull's head, with horns on its head, bloodshot eyes, a golden ring on its nose, and a constant spew of foul-smelling gas.
"I, the Minotaur of the Minotaur clan, have come to serve my emperor!hehehehaha!!haha
The minotaur spoke, and then laughed wildly.
"Very well, Minotaur! I want you to attack with your soldiers!Kill the Italians!" though the minotaur was rude. But Sir II was not impressed. With a wave of his horsewhip, he pointed to the battlefield, and then commanded loudly.
"Italians?!I don't understand what an Italian is. The humans in the eyes of the minotaur are basically the same, of course, Your Majesty, you are different. "The Minotaur seems to be rude, but he is very cunning in his heart, and while bargaining, he patted the emperor on the back once.
"It doesn't matter! You don't have to distinguish your enemies, as long as you can distinguish them! The Greeks have experience fighting alongside you. They know what to do. His Majesty the Emperor's statement made the minotaur stunned for a moment.
"Indeed...... Those cunning Greek intellectuals...... I mean reliably allies. The minotaur muttered, "Well, then, Your Majesty, I see what you mean." And I hope you can keep your promises, and the price we have set before is ......"
"I know. A thousand cubs under the age of twelve in one battle. I've always kept my word. Sil II said with a little unpleasantness.
"Aha...... I like you, Your Majesty, you have always been happy!" said the Minotaur, laughing wildly, and then, like a straw, raised the great battle axe in his hand with ease.
"Warriors of the Minotaurs, show His Majesty the Emperor of Greece your bravery!". Rubbing your face, it's the end of the month, everyone has a guaranteed monthly pass or something, don't hide it. Vote for our generation
