1302 Imperial Sword (5)

The night wind swept across the field, the wind and grass moved, and there was a low whimper, and with a rumbling and violent thunder, lightning streaked across the inky sky, illuminating the earth below, and white rain lines fell from the boundless sky, hitting the muddy earth,

Fan Luntieen, the commander of the Second Cavalry Banner of the Southern Army, stopped his advancing horse steps in an open field, his bloodshot eyes swept the front of the road, and in a white and vast rain curtain, the black cavalry team was divided into several directions, rapidly approaching the high ground,

Each team is like a black dragon, the iron hooves are sonorous, booming, the rain hits the body of the cavalry, the black armor flashes with a dark luster, and the cavalry corps galloping in the rain curtain looks extremely spectacular.

In the distance, a small black dot that was rapidly approaching made Fan Luntieen's eyes light up when he looked around blankly,

"My lord!" the scout cavalry jumped down from his horse, and despite the mud on the ground, he knelt down on one knee in front of Van Luntieen, and reported, "Our army has discovered a target, and is approaching the river beach, and the formation is scattered, and it is dragged out of a length of nearly five miles!

"Yes, near the target, are there any other targets!" Hearing this report, Fan Luntieen looked excited and grabbed the reins of the war horse, "Not for the time being, because there is no way to cross the river, so I can't get more accurate information" The scout replied "Okay, I know! Keep paying close attention!" Fan Luntien nodded, and the scout mounted his horse and galloped away, "My lord, do we need to attack immediately?" Several Falcon cavalry officers who followed him came up a little nervously

"Don't worry," Van Luntieen waved his hand to the officers, "We have destroyed the only passable bridge on the river, and no matter how fast the other side is, it is impossible for the army to cross the river twenty meters wide at once, so they will inevitably build a pontoon bridge, which is enough to delay them for several hours, we just need to wait quietly and recuperate." Wait until all the opposing forces are there! That's when we really attack."

"Yes!" the officers nodded knowingly,

As Van Lentern said, the 5,000 Norman troops who arrived first soon discovered the destroyed stone bridge, and had to scatter all 5,000 men to cut down trees and put up a posture of preparing to build a pontoon bridge on the deck.

Van Lentern's gaze was once again focused on the river in the distance, because it was on a high place, and the situation on the river in the distance was clear at a glance, and he didn't know when. Countless red torches have appeared on the other side of the river, densely and completely covering the river beach,

Behind the beach, there were more points of light converging towards the beach, which were torches lit by Normans, and there were tens of thousands of them, overwhelming, imposing, noisy voices and the neighing of war horses. As the night breeze came, several pontoon bridges shook on the rolling white waves, and a steady stream of Norman soldiers poured in from above. Occasionally, there was a shout, and many black dots fell into the river

No one noticed that in a dense forest not far away, a group of lone wolves were looking at them with hungry eyes

There is no end in sight to the neatly arranged armor and bayonet guns. The rain drenched the helmet. It went through the gap in the brim of the hat and trickled down the emaciated jaws of the soldiers. No one made a sound, only the sound of the rain splashing on the iron pieces of the armor and the dense dripping sound. Underneath the black iron helmet, were faces tanned by the scorching sun with rain, and eyes that were slightly gloomy from tiredness under the brim of the hat.

An hour later, the outline of the pontoon soon appeared on the surface of the river, and after three hours, the raindrops in the sky suddenly stopped, and unexpectedly exposed half of the crescent moon in the sky, staring coldly at the earth below

"My lord, let's attack. Otherwise, they will run away!" some falconry officers reined in their horses, and urged in a low and uneasy voice, and the wind mixed with water vapor hit their faces, bringing an exhilarating chill.

In just over an hour, five or six thousand people had crossed the river beach below, and the soldiers who crossed the river were clustered in groups of three or five in groups, sitting on the makeshift fire with their soaked clothes, their weapons discarded at will, and loudly ridiculing the gains they had gained in yesterday's battle.

Van Lentthorn withdrew his gaze from a distance, feeling that the attacking fighters were ripe, and slowly turned his horse around, and raised the falcon sword in his hand to the 7,000 Falcon light cavalry who were already lined up behind him

"Kill!"

With a burst of loud shouts, in the shadowy moonlight, a group of cavalry in black armor swept across the earth like a wind, leaving behind a cloud of dust like rolling dragons, and the galloping sound of war horses quickly attracted the attention of the Normans on the river beach,

The roaring sound of horses' hooves made such a shout look extremely pale, and his whole body was covered in black armor, like the god of vengeance emerging from the darkness, and the cavalry's swords were raised high. The wind was blowing in the face, mixed with damp moisture. The horse's hooves trampled on the soft earth, making a crackling sound,

"Crush Them"

Van Lentern's sharp Samar knife slashed from the shoulder of a Norman soldier with the help of horsepower,

Poof, the Normandy soldier who hadn't had time to react was disemboweled on the spot, blood mixed with internal organs gushing out of the incision, blowing up Van Lentern's face, and the first queue behind him was already like a heavy hammer smashed into the flank of the panicked Normans, "Kill!" The falcon cavalry flashed like lightning, the sharp blade of the war knife slashed through the armor of the Norman infantry, the bright red blood squirreled from the enemy's neck, the war horses were staggered, the figure of more than a hundred Norman soldiers disappeared from front of them in an instant, the corpses were scattered like broken cloth, the sound was mixed with the impact of metal and flesh, and the Falcon cavalry, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, almost effortlessly broke the two thousand teams on the side of the beach,

"Stop Them"

The Normans were also anxious, on such a wide river beach, by such a cluster of cavalry side impact, if it could not be stopped, there was only a dead end, at the critical moment, the Normans were very brave, a Normandy lord, with more than 100 Normandy heavy cavalry cavalry wearing heavy armor, holding a flail in his hand, and a heavy sword, quickly met the Falcon cavalry from all sides of the river beach without fear

The sound of metal striking was mixed with the shouts of fighting, and the two cavalry troops, like two metal monsters squeezing each other, were entangled, swords and swords, flesh and blood were flying, and galloping war horses were staggered past each other.

The cavalry above swayed and was thrown off their horses. was dragged out more than ten meters by a war horse

"Kill," the second thousand-man falcon cavalry rushed in from the front very quickly, and the surging falcon cavalry rushed the already limited Normandy heavy cavalry to pieces, and the entire river beach seemed to be cut in the middle, "Mom"

The panicked Normandy infantry rolled to the ground in the squeezing, bright red human blood splattered out from between the staggered war horses, the war horses were like thunder, this ambush broke out so suddenly, and soon someone noticed that the killing gods who came from the impact were not wearing the armor of the previous Salander people, but the black armor similar to the Netherworld Killing God, the war horse under the crotch was even more strong and tall, a head taller than the Normandy war horse on this side, and the weapon was sharp enough to split the armor on the body at once, unstoppable, revealing a terrifying fierceness, "It's the Falcon Imperial Army!"

I don't know who was in the chaos, I shouted bitterly, and the Normandy army suddenly exploded, and the Normans, whether they were meritorious troops or battle-hardened teams, all lost their courage and couldn't stop them, so they turned around and ran into the river behind them, jumping into the river at least there was hope of survival, and staying on the river beach was only the share of being trampled into minced meat, "Bastard, what's going on on the other side?"

On the other side of the river, the Duke of Normandy, Cavey, looked angrily at the other side of the river, his own soldiers were scattered by a large area, and were forced to jump into the river by countless cavalry in a panic, not distinguishing between east and west, north and south, the corpses fell in rows, and did not dare to turn back at all, so docile that they were like sheep driven by a shepherd, and a large number of black-armored cavalry rushed from behind to slash and kill.

Some of the flag corps of the Normans who were still intact were in chaos before the battle, and the panic and fear of the unknown were contagious at once, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, as long as someone shouted, "Run away!" All of a sudden, the whole army dispersed at once, and the soldiers took advantage of the chaos to join the torrent of deserters, and the scolding and threats of the officers were of no help to the soldiers.

The confusion even spread to some troops on the other side of the river who had not yet crossed the river. They can bravely face the Salanders, but they don't have the courage to confront the Falcon Empire.

Although the Normans were brave, they were beaten by the Falcon Army in Salander, and tens of thousands of elites were lost on the Salander Peninsula, and now these troops, many officers have withdrawn from Salander, and hearing the name of the Imperial Falcon Army, it is like hearing a ghost, "Duke, I can't stand it, the troops of the Marquis of and the Marquis Kenneth have withdrawn first!" A Normandy lord shouted hoarsely to Carvebod, "If we don't leave, the Falcon Imperial Army on the opposite side will cross the river to attack us!"

"Bastards, these two bastards who escaped from battle!"

Even with Kavebode's cultivation, he was furious at the moment, and there were soldiers fleeing everywhere. The torrent formed by the rout and escape made his own guards reorganize the flag regiment, and before they could go to the battlefield, they would rush to their own families

"Woo" The horns of the falconry resounded through the foggy morning, and it looked so miserable in this vast land, stopping the war horse, Fan Luntien's eyes swept over the bloody riverbank, and there was not the slightest sense of joy on his face

"This ...... What a thing!" A wry smile appeared on the corner of Van Lentien's mouth, the Normans chose to flee with the whole army without a full battle, and by the time Van Lentien reacted, the main Normandy force on the opposite river beach had already run away, and this situation made Van Lentien not know how to explain to Statunko! )
