Chapter 8: The Pale Battle (3)

The second group of knights fell into the ditch, the third group of unlucky people who couldn't stop the horses were also planted in the ditch, and the fourth group of knights faced the natural nemesis of the horses.

These Caledonians used the small toys that were improvised in the woods next to them to make Cape's knights suffer enough, and also made Yuge, who was watching the battle in the rear, hate: "Sure enough, you should set fire to the forest......

Set fire to the forest? Sinampei was taken aback by Yu Ge's words, forest fires can be called a natural disaster even if they are placed on the earth in the 21st century, let alone in the Middle Ages, where the vegetation coverage rate is extremely high. Especially in winter, once it is ignited, it is basically impossible to extinguish it -- if you burn forests on your own land, it is already a policy that is almost a solid wall. If it is necessary to clear out a separation zone to defend the city, it is good to prepare slowly, but if it is impossible to control the situation of burning the forest, it is necessary to be very ruthless.

But this was the end of the Middle Ages, the musket was not yet as useful as the bow and arrow, the density of fire was really weak, and these headache traps did not play a decisive role, but there were still Capet's hoplite knights who rushed into the Galedonian position.

But the problem was that, under the arrangement of the Caledonians, by the time these cavalry rushed into the positions of the Caledonians, they had completely lost the advantage of shock power and the neat formation, and the cavalry rifles they were equipped to enhance the superiority of the charge were completely useless in such a battle - the heavy cavalry spears were useful in the charge, but they were very poor in hand-to-hand combat.

And in the position of the Galedonians, there are spearmen who are specially used to deal with cavalry, and every Capetian knight who rushes into the Galledonian position will face endless pressure from all sides - if the image is to put it simply, it is like the paladin Usel is trapped in the dog sea tactics of Arces, no matter how capable you are, you have to kneel down and sing conquest obediently for me - anyone who has played Warcraft knows it.

In this way, the Capetian knights charged again and again in vain, and were repulsed again and again, and each time the Capetian knights saw the hope of an easy victory, but each time they hated the Galledonian position.

Slowly, there were fewer and fewer people, and when the knights wanted to call out to their acquaintances, they found that they had long since left this world.

Finally, when the last knights recognized the reality, the tide of collapse finally came, and the knights, who had already collapsed, began to retreat frantically - no, it should be said to be a rout, and the nobles and knights who were eager to run back to their own formation, and even thought of simply running back to the fortress to hide, had completely ignored their teammates, and the entire cavalry team looked like a flock of wriggling maggots from the sky, at the mercy of the weak Caledonian army.

The consequences of not having a subordinate relationship with each other also appeared at this moment, and if they could have a strong commander, the Capetians would never have ended up with such a bad result, at least they could preserve their vital strength to the greatest extent during the retreat.

Before the phalanx of serfs could understand what was going on, they were scattered by their own cavalry, and the whole Capetian army had no formation at all—many unfortunate peasants did not die at the hands of the Caledonians, but were trampled to death by the sycophants of their own masters, and they did not know how to complain when they saw God.

The Galedonian army led by General Lipton took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and the Capetian army completely collapsed in an instant, with men stamped on horseback and countless casualties.

In this short period of confrontation, how many heads can the Galledonians harvest? Most of them died in the chaos caused by their own side! Tens of thousands of people, plus the stampede of the horses, is it a joke?

Lost, the Capetian lost the battle completely, and lost it by a great loss! At this point, there is no one who can pull off a miraculous reversal - not even if you are a traverser.

Sinan Pei looked at this qiē from the head of the city, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead. Fortunately, the gates were closed just now! Otherwise, if these routs were allowed to enter the fortress, then it would be worth it? As long as the Galedonians took advantage of the situation to cover up, then the fortress would fall immediately!

He had to admire Yu Ge's amazing insight, which was not only an innate talent, but also an acquired experience and experience to create such an excellent commander.

However, what made Sinampei feel relieved and a little surprised was that the king's pro-army was still not chaotic, and in the defeat, the king had quietly commanded his subordinates, retreated to the front of the fortress, and reorganized the formation.

King Henry struck at this point, and his first target was to shoot a knight who tried to rush to the gates of his fortress with a bow and arrow.

Although it was in the midst of extreme chaos, many people still noticed the king's earth-shattering move.

"Listen to me!" the king coldly injected his subjects, "if you don't want to die, don't try to storm the gates of this fortress!

Several nobles tried to disobey his orders to rally their men to storm the defenders of the fortress in order to flee for their lives, but Flesova and other king's cronies were not vegetarians, and they did not kill their comrades in half of their hearts - in troubled times, they would not have the slightest mercy in this bad year.

"Go around, I will be your queen, but if you want to disobey my will, then I will have to send you to hell to see the devil! If you want to live, obey my commands!" cried the king in a hearty voice, "I hope you will not forget your courage and show me the bones of a capetian!"

"What an honor it is for the King himself to serve you, and I hope you will make a wise choice. The bearded Earl Trian carried the head of one of his own infantrymen with the tip of his spear, and in line with the king's speech, he did not care to intimidate the people around him.

The king single-handedly restored order to the surrounding army, what a strength! Cape's army was still fleeing, but while fleeing, they consciously bypassed the fortress and the king's phalanx, and fled to Pali in the south without stopping.

“...... Hmph, it's like a bunch of lost dogs!" Yu Ge taunted these nobles in front of Sinampei without care, his angular face was full of extreme anger, "If you can let the infantry go up first, how can this happen!"

"But Your Highness, the question should not be about accountability now. Sinampei grimaced and pointed to the Galedonian army outside the city, "What should be considered now, is how to defend the fortress?" ps: Readers, please recommend and collect/(tot)/~~
