1299 Imperial Sword II

Normandy, Arkachon

In the early morning on the outskirts of the town, the sky was gloomy and gloomy. A flock of crows flew over the blackened remnants of the town after the fire ravaged and landed on the charred walls. In the direction of the vast fields, the coolness of the heat is dispelled.

Next to the burned town, in the morning light that had not yet fully risen, 1,000 Saland-Mamunuk-mounted horsemen lined up, their red tasseled hats swaying in the wind, their black cloaks fluttering in the wind like clouds;

"Hiss" On the opposite slope of the Salander Mamouuk cavalry, the black armor of the Norman scouts kicked the ground restlessly, whispering twice, and they were also suppressed by the murderous aura born in the silence,

The black lines of the whole team were spreading across the opposite wilderness from behind these cavalry, scattered into a slightly untidy quadrangle, the neatly arranged armor and bayonet spears were reflected in the faint morning light, countless battle flags loomed in the morning mist, and the main force of the Normans was marching into the battlefield "It seems that they are still being targeted!" The old duchess Od watched quietly on his horse, his eyes were as cold as snow, and there was a terrifying chill all over his body, and his red face did not look like a drooping old man at all,

He had been waiting for this day for a long time, even his old body was trembling with excitement because of the imminent outbreak of the big war, and soon, the main force of Salander led by Nilai arrived, crowded, the battle armor was like a cloud, and the golden battle flag of Salander waving in the wind was overwhelming,

The unique round shields of the soldiers of the Northern Alliance, like a whole row of round buckle ties, spread all the way along the edge of the earth, and countless spears of black pressure stood at the forefront of the military array, shining with a chilling cold light. "Who knows what's going on?" said Nilai on a white war horse and came up from behind.

The beauty is picturesque, the red gold thread cloak moves in the wind, her appearance makes the whispering Salander lords stop talking, and make way for him, after this Normandy landing battle, codenamed revenge, plus the annexation of the old northern leader Ode, Nilai's status in the hearts of the northern nobles of Salander has been raised to a very high peak. There is a faint posture of intimidating everyone, "We found the enemy's scouts here in the early morning, and then we saw these ......" Odher turned back calmly and said, "It seems that we are being targeted by the Normans, otherwise we would not have set up a formation here in advance to wait for us!" "Can you judge that it is the main force?"

Nilai stopped her horse, and her eyes swept over the Normandy army formation in front of her with a bit of solemnity, and the posture of the other party was waiting for her, so that her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, the terrain here is obviously unfavorable to the coalition side,

The Normans, who had arrived in advance, had already seized the powerful terrain nearby. Located on a slope not far from the middle line where the two armies met, it was the commanding height of the entire battlefield, and whoever controlled it could keep an eye on the entire battlefield. Waiting for the opportunity to move, faintly threatening the flanks of the coalition forces, "It should be, otherwise there would not be such a scale!" Rode raised the horsewhip in his hand and pointed. said, "The day I've been looking forward to has finally come, and it's annoying to run around, just enough to kill a happy one." If it had been a year ago, I might have chosen to run away, but now ...... We're good enough to beat them."

"It's really ridiculous, as the vanguard of the army, just watching the enemy seize the advantageous terrain and put the army in a disadvantageous situation, and now you still have the leisure to say such things, don't you know what it is to be ashamed!" A cold voice came, "This bastard ......"

The face of the Duke of Russia and Germany changed slightly, and his eyes looked angrily in the direction where the voice came from, only to see that from the direction of the left flank of the coalition army, several coalition generals surrounded a middle-aged nobleman with a somewhat gloomy gaze, this middle-aged nobleman was wearing a shoulder armor made of gold with a lion coat of arms, a long black cloak, like a battle flag, dragged from the war horse to the ground, the horse's hooves stepped on the dust on the ground, looking majestic and arrogant, but those eyes revealed an uncomfortable fierceness,

With his appearance, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became a lot heavier, he is known as the leader of the new faction, Envit, a typical radical in the coalition army, the coalition army has no immediate plan to advance to the hinterland, that is, he proposed that it should advance to the hinterland of Normandy in order to rescue more Salanders,

In fact, everyone knows that this guy has coveted the richness of the big cities in the hinterland of Normandy for a long time, otherwise the first thing he would do after landing on the shore is not even to hold a meeting of the coalition army, but to lead his army to loot all the villages near the port"Envit, what do you mean by that?" Odd stared at him angrily and asked, "I only have a thousand Mamunuk, and the other side has tens of thousands, do you want me to fight the entire Normandy main force alone?" "Isn't bravery the tradition of the Mamunuk's warriors? Even if there is only one person, you must dare to attack a thousand people, this is the real Mamunuk!" Envit said with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth. Such a large-scale march was to attract the main force of the Normans, but now the main force of the Normans is coming, but we are in an extremely disadvantageous situation because of the dereliction of duty of the scout forwards, who should bear such responsibility!" At the critical moment, Nilai came forward to stop the argument between the two, and ordered the coalition forces to set up a formation in front of the ruins of the town of Arkachon, using this place as the backing of the northern coalition forces.

On February 2, the 3rd year of the Falcon Empire, at seven o'clock in the morning, in Alkavi, less than 40 kilometers away from Ilru, an important town in the east of Normandy, the main force of 24,000 in Normandy and the northern coalition army of Salander, which was marching towards the hinterland of Normandy, met unexpectedly.

"Forward!"

At 8:30, the two sides that completed the formation did not hesitate too much, and almost at the same time ordered the central army formation to advance neatly, the gun formation advanced smoothly and orderly, and the heavy feeling of the guns bursting with cold light like a mountain gave people infinite pressure, and when they were close to the middle line, the two armies began to accelerate, "Projectile!"

The first to erupt was the traditional spear-throwing phalanx of the Salander light infantry, and with the mournful screams of the infantry captain, rows of short javelins with cold light were thrown from the hands of these Salander light infantry to the opposite sky, and the dense points of light covered the color of the sky in an instant, "Vertical shield!"

The heavy infantry in the front row of Normandy, with a calm and terrifying face, raised the heavy square shield in his hand very neatly, and covered his body behind the shield, forming a huge tortoise shell in the front of the military formation,

This is not the first time they have fought with the Salanders, when they were on the island of Salander, the Nord heavy infantry had killed the Salanders into a river of blood, they have long known the combat habits of the Salanders, although the Salander guns look fierce, but the lethality that can be caused is very limited, for the light infantry, the guns will be a fatal blow, but for the heavy infantry with heavy armor and wide shields, the guns are a big joke,

Sure enough, as the light points in the air fell rapidly, the speed of the heavy infantry phalanx was not affected at all, but it was still like a huge iron anchor, slamming into the Salande center array, snapping, the soldiers on both sides collided together almost at the same time, and the fierce collision of metal sounded like waves crashing on the reef, splashing out the blood of countless soldiers, and the strength of the Normandy heavy infantry suddenly appeared, "squeak" The spears of the Salander soldiers were bounced off the heavy armor of the Norman hoplites, bringing up a flash of red sparks, and the cold light flickered, and the giant training ball in the hands of the tall Norman hoplites had been violently upside down, and a swift and dazzling cold light swept through the air,

"Bumping" the body of the entire row of Salander soldiers, like a ball that has been hit, the whole body has been knocked over, and the armor sewn by the iron pieces on the body was suddenly torn apart by the huge cold light, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the blood flew down from the height like raindrops.

"Forward, kill!" The onslaught of the Normandy heavy infantry made the infantry ranks of the coalition army chaotic, and the queue of the first wave of confrontation was like a dug riverbank, torn open a huge opening,

"Bumping" the first wave of attacks has not yet ended, and the second wave of attacks is stacked with the soldiers in front of them,

The thick crowd of people made any breakthrough tactics have no chance to play, the two sides of the fierce battle slammed each other with shields, and the blood-red eyes were only a few centimeters away, like a bull, trying to overturn each other's bodies, "Forward, forward!" The tall Normandy hoplites, like a solid iron plow, kept waving the big iron chain ball in their hands, constantly smashing the Salanders who rushed up to the ground, and their violent image made the soldiers of the Northern Coalition Army chill and frightened, and it seemed that the tragic picture of the day appeared again,

"Envitt, that bastard, he's obviously just scared!"

The old Duke of Russia and Germany, who was in charge of the Chinese army, looked at the left flank in a mess and scolded angrily, the left flank is the place with the most troops of the coalition army,

Of the 14,000-strong coalition army, 7,000 were on the left flank,

However, in just one confrontation, the left flank of Salander, holding the cross flag of the Envit family, was forcibly separated from the middle of the array by the Normandy heavy infantry, which numbered no more than a thousand people, revealing the weak flank of the Chinese army that was fighting fiercely

As a rule, Envit, who was in charge of the left flank, should immediately send reserves to close the gap.

However, instead of sending reserves, Envit moved the most elite 2,000 Mamunuk knights near the gap to the side of the gap, obviously trying to avoid the advance of the Normans, and was ready to slip away at any time.

His actions undoubtedly put the coalition army in an extremely dangerous situation, and there is a possibility that the whole army will collapse at any time (to be continued. )
