Chapter 559 Changes
Half an hour later, Jiang Tian could clearly see the coming army flags.It was a battle flag embroidered with white eagle claws, surrounded by black cavalry; wearing a pitch-black conical Norman helmet, black heavy scale armor, with a thick spear between them, and a white roaring wolf head painted on the chest .

Immediately on the left came a group of armored axemen, each wearing a fur-rim iron helmet, half-body plate mail and chain net battle skirt, holding a long-handled broad ax or a double-edged axe; There are many small hand axes hanging; some soldiers hold axes with both hands and carry large oval shields on their backs.

Then appearing on the right side of the leading cavalry, there are a large number of soldiers wearing rough scale armor and leather knee pads; most of them don't have helmets, but wear furry fur hats or jackal beast heads.Only a few of the leaders or generals wore iron cheek helmets with black manes and brass decorations.

Most of the soldiers hold double-edged spears that can be cut and stabbed, and several broad-leaf throwing spears or short-hooked javelins are carried on their backs; Mouth picks, war picks, cone-headed iron rods, large hunting bows and fir bows on the back...

"The Saxons, they are the Saxons!" Gismond said out of breath again: "Damn it, we got the wrong information, the Saxons sent troops earlier than we expected, and they didn't go south, but directly through the territory of the North Rhine Union."

"This is one of the elites of the Principality of Saxony, the White Wolf Guards and Tomahawk Warriors from Hamelin, as well as the famous Hessians; usually wherever they appear, there must be the deer head flag of the Principality of Saxony, or even The golden deer banner representing the Grand Duke himself."

While talking, these Saxon troops that appeared on the skyline had already rushed across the field like a raging turbid current; It was an intensive offensive launched like a tide.

Of course, today's New Kingdom Army is not what it used to be.The members of the First Legion were mainly elite companies and battle-tested veterans specially selected from overseas legions and major corps; while taking in prisoners and suppressing the remaining resistance, they also responded quickly.

Within ten minutes, several cavalry companies, including hundreds of knights, gathered; they almost rushed head-on into the Saxon cavalry rushing forward; the color of the blue cloak and silver plate armor gathered instantly. The black tide of the Saxon cavalry was blocked and sunken.

Many Saxon cavalry in black armor and black helmets were knocked over, provoked and knocked down by these iron-like knights of the Royal Army almost in one sight; they were trampled to the ground in an instant s color.But it also quickly slows down and retards each other's speed.

Therefore, more Saxon cavalry turned around in a blink of an eye, surrounded these companies that were attacking forward with an absolute numerical advantage;But with the buffer that the knights and cavalry fought for, more large groups of infantry were also assembled.

The musketeers lined up in several rows along the main road fired row after row of projectiles head-on, knocking down the Saxon warriors who bypassed the friendly cavalry and outflanked them from both sides, and they fell to the ground, revealing gaps one after another; It was quickly filled by others.

A few hours later, the battle to encircle and wipe out the remnants of the North Rhine Army was basically over.But around the open space on both sides of the main road, the blue tones of the Royal Army and the black tones of the Saxon Army fought together again, dotted with criss-crossed battle lines smeared with blood.

However, the Saxon Army, which has a relatively obvious numerical advantage; the New Kingdom Army, which has been fighting for a long time and is exhausted, has also turned into a relative defensive position.They formed a battle formation one by one on the spot, with white soldiers holding halberds and musketeers taking turns shooting inside.Withstood the reciprocating impact of the Saxon army.

In some larger phalanxes, there is even enough space left to accommodate and gather a considerable part of the cavalry and artillery.Then after a short period of rest and eating, under the repeated assault and siege of the Saxons, from time to time waited for an opportunity to launch partial counterattacks and containment by shelling;

However, there are also some smaller battle formations. Unfortunately, they encountered relatively elite tomahawk warriors in the Saxon army, such as the white soldiers who were carefully chopped into pieces in the melee and pierced through the outer front line; The group of Mori disciples besieged; there were many casualties due to losing sight of one another...

As the Saxon army on the main road pressed on, the battle formations that formed the Royal Army's front line were continuously defeated and scattered.However, they regrouped more fighting phalanxes in the rear, and also accommodated and gathered more scattered friendly troops, finally delaying the enemy's offensive.

Then during the battle, the incomplete small phalanxes approached each other to form a medium-sized phalanx; the medium-sized phalanxes supported each other and merged into a large hollow phalanx; Fighting phalanxes; which in turn divided the Saxon army.

However, after a long period of fighting and chasing, the New Kingdom Army is inevitably exhausted; although it can still maintain a considerable degree of order and morale, it is also generally weak in succession.And in the battle after battle, it was no longer possible to form a powerful counterattack against the Saxon army as a whole.

And when the battle has reached this point, it is obvious that the enemy and the enemy are confronting each other, and the critical moment of reversal begins.Nisit, the son of Count Vermandois, who had just escaped from the city, once again held up the family's starry banner; urging the army of the princes of the Netherlands to turn to this battlefield.

Other Saxon troops that have not yet entered the battle are also hovering on the edge of the long battlefield filled with corpses and densely packed soldiers; trying to find a way to bypass the large swamp and reeds; and attack the rear of the New Kingdom Army in a roundabout way.Almost both sides are looking for opportunities to break the situation.

Therefore, around the swamps and forests on both sides of the road, encounters and raids broke out one after another between groups of mountain infantry and tribal troops; The Saxons were soon driven out by the large flames that ignited.

And the Germanic mountain tribes who tried to enter the mountain forest quickly fled in a panic under the bombardment of the preset firearms front.The artillery in Liege also spontaneously began to transfer.So the decisive winner returned to the frontal road battlefield again;
Jiang Tian was about to order the five grenadier companies hidden in the surrounding forests to serve as the general reserve, as well as the three Moroccan cavalry companies from the Overseas Legion; they were thrown into the battlefield after shelling.The Lushou flag of the Principality of Saxony on the edge of the battlefield was the first to change.

From the direction of the Saxons on the west side of the battlefield, a gust of cold and bone-chilling wind suddenly blew; amid the howling smoke and dust, it briefly covered most of the battlefield, and also obscured the vision of both the enemy and us, making the intertwined The fierce fighting paused and stagnated for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of howls of "Aww" continued to resound at the edge of the battlefield in short bursts, and immediately penetrated the clamor of thousands of people fighting on the battlefield.However, the Saxon army who heard this voice began to shrink their formation and leave the battle under the boost of morale.

Then several white lines, braving the cold air, rushed out of the gap where the Saxon army hastily retreated from the rear, and knocked down and overturned one after another. In an instant, clouds of white smoke burst out.

That was from hundreds of giant wolves.The soldiers in the front row who were caught off guard by the spray almost froze into one piece on the spot, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends; even knights with special bloodlines would inevitably be covered with frost on their horses and men, and their movements would slow down.The next moment, he was thrown to the ground by the giant wolf.

Immediately after him, there were some unarmored Saxon soldiers who looked like savages. Their bodies swelled up and burst their fur coats on the spot, and they turned into lycanthropes with thick manes in an instant; Weapons and heavy weapons were slaughtered into the phalanx of the Royal Army.

Seeing these giant wolves spouting and wreaking havoc on the front line, and the armed lycanthropes following the roar of the giant wolves, Jiang Tian suddenly realized.It turned out that this was the reason why the Saxons dared to cross multiple vassal territories, march thousands of miles into the Netherlands, and interfere in the affairs of the kingdom.

Although, the bloody classical conventional battle suddenly turned into a Western fantasy-style sweep of thousands of troops; but this also suddenly aroused a certain impulse hidden deep in Jiang Tian's heart.After all, it has been a long time since he became the king, and he hasn't killed a lot with his own hands.

"Didn't you always want to know what the Kingdom's army's biggest secret card and potential backup are?" Then he suddenly turned his head and said to the worried Gismund: "Now, I can finally tell you , In fact, it comes from my personal strength!"

Before the words fell, Jiang Tian suddenly jumped up amidst his stunned expression, and shot straight into the sky like a cannonball, turning into a small black spot that was almost invisible.Immediately, it turned into falling behind the Saxon army, flying all over the sky like an explosion...

"Follow my king~" "Go forward!" "WAAAAAAAGH..." However, including Athos, many soldiers of the guard company and gendarmerie company shouted loudly, followed by Jiang Tian who disappeared The direction turned into streams rushing down.

And Jiang Tian, ​​who descended from the sky and vibrated, overturned, and dispersed a large number of Saxon soldiers on the spot, also activated the ability of the "field" module again.In an instant, within a radius of hundreds of meters, groups of Saxon soldiers rushing towards him again were thrown into the sky by weightlessness.

"Come on, play and change, who is afraid of whom!" Jiang Tian screamed loudly, while launching his ability to throw and overturn a large number of enemies, and approached the other side in a blink of an eye, representing the Saxon general. Hundreds of meters away from the Bianlushou flag.
