Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Second Battle of Budapest, Spear and Shield (Three Watches, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Oh oh oh oh oh !!! power, I feel the power surging up!

Swiss.

The most famous mercenary nation of the Middle Ages.

Swiss phalanx of ultra-long spears.

The most famous cavalry nemesis of the Middle Ages.

But today, the Ironclad Paladins changed all that! The Ironclad Paladins, who were heavy and well-armed, and charged to the death, crashed headfirst into the Swiss phalanx of ultra-long spears. Immediately afterward, there was a burst of people on their backs - the huge mass and impact of the cavalry made the super long spear in the hands of the Swiss pierce into the body of the ironclad paladier at once, and the ironclad paladier did not snort at that time. The huge impact force not only made the super long spear pierce his heart, but also directly shattered the internal organs in his body, and blood instantly flowed out of his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears. The seven orifices bleed, and those who died could not die again......

However, immediately afterward, the huge mass also acted on the Swiss pikeman, who clung to the barrel of the spear and dislocated his hands in an instant, or, in some more unfortunate cases, broke his hands. For a while, the sound of "Gaba Gaba" bones shattering was endless. Immediately after, the ironclad paladon who was already dead suddenly pressed over with men and horses. The weight of a ton smaller weighed directly on a few Swiss pikemen in the front row. Under such a terrifying weight, even if they didn't die, they would have to take half their lives.

Then, before the Swiss pikemen could recover their strength, the second round of attacks by the Ironclad Paladins arrived--because of the efforts of the first round of the Ironclad Paladins, the pikemen phalanx had been destroyed at this moment and a large number of gaps had been filled, and at this time, the French conscripts should have stepped forward to fill the gaps. However, when these peasant soldiers saw the ferocity of the ironclad holy cavalry, they all flinched. Seeing that the spear phalanx had a gap like this. The Ironclad Paladins stopped charging to prevent them from being killed by the spears. Instead, he trotted over.

Without the impact of the Ironclad Paladins themselves, it would have been impossible for the Swiss pikemen to break through the opponent's three layers of armor with their spears. Seeing that the other party rushed over as if walking, the mace in his hand was raised high, and he was about to shoot at his own pikemen, but the phalanx on that side was not in a hurry - the Swiss halberders with halberds in their hands quickly stepped forward, raised the heavy and sharp halberds in their hands, and slashed at the head of the ironclad paladers......

Meanwhile, on the other side, the dwarven chamber guards had almost the same problem. The phalanx of spears arranged by the dwarven guards was more sturdy than the Swiss - they wore better armor and used tougher, sharper spears. Dwarves and their bodies are more sedate than humans. As a result, the Ironclad Paladins and Guards Cavalry suffered more casualties. In front of the phalanx of extra-long spears arranged by the guards of the secret room, there was almost a layer of corpses of enemy cavalry and war horses.

However, the dwarves were also badly wounded. Some of the dwarves were even directly hit by the war horses, and they didn't know where the organs were damaged, and the blood that spurted out was three feet high......

In this way, there was also a gap in the super-long spear phalanx of the dwarven chamber guards. However, they did not have a strong warrior who could use heavy weapons to pierce armor like the Swiss halberders. Originally, the Dwarven Chamber Guards were supposed to work in conjunction with the other powerful forces of the Dwarven Clan. But Egil was greedy and hired this single class. There was no dwarven two-handed axe to cooperate at this moment. The dwarven chamber guards were on the verge of defeat. The captain of the dwarven mercenaries had no choice but to order some of the dwarven room guards to put down their spears and take out their hand axes and one-handed hammers at their waists to attack.

However, although these secondary weapons have a certain bonus effect on armor piercing, their attack power is not very high. The dwarves struggled to resist.

Frontal battlefield. Seeing the enemy heavy cavalry rushing towards them, the professional Viking warriors calculated the distance, and then shouted the slogan "One, two, three-", and then the Viking warriors in the front row threw their axes fiercely. Immediately after a fanatical shout, he rushed towards the opposing cavalry instead!

At close range, the lethality of the throwing axes was extremely astonishing! The hundreds of Greek heavy cavalry in the front row fell down with a wail, and the heavy cavalry in the row behind them, seeing that the situation had changed, immediately reduced their speed to avoid being pulled into the water by the overturned cavalry in front. However, this time, it was in the hands of the Norman infantry. Then the Viking Death Rush soldiers roared wildly and rushed out, and in the midst of the earth-shattering shouts of killing, these heavy infantry in heavy armor but extremely agile stepped over the Greek cavalry that had fallen and had a large number of throwing axes stuck in their bodies - some of them were not yet dead, and were wailing, and then faced the heavy cavalry directly on the side, and launched a charge!

"This, these barbarians...... Are they crazy?!Actually attacking the cavalry head-on with infantry?!" The ironclad paladiers in the front row were shocked. I can't believe it's true - but that's just the way it is. The tens of thousands of heavy infantry of the first Norman array did rush towards them.

"Damn it, kill them!" For a moment, the Greek heavy cavalry clearly felt that they were despised, how could these equally arrogant warriors withstand such an insult?! They were about to continue the charge, but they didn't expect the Viking warriors to touch their belts, followed by a round of throwing axes. With the help of the forward momentum, the flying axes of this meeting were even more violent than the previous one, and another cavalry fell without suspense.

At this moment, however, the Greeks could not care about so much. These arrogant warriors completely ignored the fact that their own robes had been slaughtered, and only thought about killing these damned barbarian heavy infantry. So, charge at full speed!!

"Come on, you dead sissies, come and bite Uncle's tuckle!"

The Viking warriors laughed wildly, shouting as they rushed towards the Ironclad Paladins with their flesh and blood.

The cavalry and infantry collided violently. Both the over-heavily armed Ironclad Paladins and the heavily armed Guards Cavalry were able to knock the bodies of one—nay, many, multiple Viking warriors into the air with tremendous force in an instant, break their ribs, knock them down, and then step on them. Slay!

The Viking warriors in the front row were instantly plunged into a terrible hell. Blood and scraps of flesh were splattered and fell on the armor of the Greeks. Make these terrifying warriors look even more hideous. The red was still ticking down little by little......

But that's the end of it. This charge did not at all stun the Normans as the Greek heavy cavalry had imagined. On the contrary, the cavalry, having lost their speed, found themselves surrounded by Normans.

Immediately afterwards, this group of cavalry fell into the Norman hoplites, fighting against a single cavalry with multiple hoplites. The Viking warriors slashed wildly and tore at the cavalry, pulling them off their horses and slashing them indiscriminately. Chop off the hands, feet, and heads, and then continue to move forward quickly. Only a slightly trembling, bloody corpse remained.

"Really...... What a bunch of savages......"

Seeing that the Normans were so fierce, they used their own flesh to resist the cavalry, causing the cavalry to lose speed and then slaughter on a large scale. The Greeks thought for a moment what had happened to them in the land nearly a month before when they had been with the Italians - the light infantry who looked like madmen - nay, not even the light infantry, it should be said, and the pilgrims, who were armed like rubbish, fended off the attacks of their own cavalry in the same way.

"What a damn ......"

Seeing the heavy cavalry and super heavy cavalry in the front row suffered heavy losses. Basil II shook his head helplessly, no longer expecting the follow-up lightweight Eastern Roman lancers to be of any use, and the foreign Latin cavalry was even more unreliable - they were now fighting against a coalition of Latin mercenaries from their homeland.

At this time, Egil also saw that something was wrong, and his frontal infantry stood out too much. The friendly armies on both flanks remained in place. In this way, it is easy for the opponent's heavy cavalry to attack the flanks, causing the infantry line in the middle of the team to be damaged. If that were the case, the battle would have gone in a direction that would have turned against you......

"The infantry line temporarily retreated. What about Alpha, let Alpha lead the men in pursuit!"

And just like that, the Viking infantry, holding aloft their skull-studded spears and a wing flag captured from the Ironclad Paladins, retreated in high spirits. And right before the two armies, they brought oil and torches, and split the banner in two, half of which was offered to Egil as a trophy, while the other half was set on fire and burned.

Seeing that his own military flag was burned like this. The ironclad palsards were furious, and despite Basil II's orders, they turned their heads and charged again, trying to find the Normans desperately.

In this way, they ran headlong into nearly a thousand Norman hoplites led by Alpha, the captain of the Death Knight.

"Kill them. Alpha snorted, in a low, absolute zero, emotionless voice. The tone was so low that even the cavalry around him couldn't hear it clearly. It's not so much an order as it is a self-talk. And in fact, Alpha really didn't think of the so-called comrades around him.

It is enough to be alone.

This Death Knight has always been so confident. This one will be no exception.

After choosing an opponent, a man in a purple cloak who looked like an officer, the Death Knight raised his rifle and began to charge. Immediately afterwards, the guy who also discovered the alpha with the armor and mount peculiarities also adjusted the angle of the spear and rushed towards the alpha.

Merely......

"What's the matter!?Why did the other party's riding spear get longer in an instant?!" Seeing that the other party's riding spear was faster than his budget for a moment, and pointed directly at the tip of his nose, the officer instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and thought of this before he died......

(To be continued.) [--Today, however, the Ironclad Paladins changed all that!] The Ironclad Paladins, who were heavy and well-armed, and charged to the death, crashed headfirst into the Swiss phalanx of super-long spears. Followed by
