Blood Lord of War

Chapter 60 Infantry Charge
In previous imperial wars, it was not without precedent for infantry to defeat cavalry.As long as proper tactics and command are coordinated, it is best to take advantage of the terrain, and infantry can also defeat cavalry.

However, even if they win, it will be very difficult to continue to expand the results in the future.

High mobility is always the magic weapon for cavalry, if you can't win, run away.The infantry only relies on two legs, and it is almost impossible to chase the cavalry.

If the formation cannot be maintained during the pursuit, and the enemy's cavalry suddenly returns to the carbine, the winner's throne may change hands.

Robin is now running into this difficulty.

Relying on the half-elf's superb archery skills, he can indeed easily defeat the horse bandits.However, if the horse bandit wants to run away, it will be difficult for him to pursue him.

It is impossible for Robin to spend the main force on the commercial road all the time. The wasteland is full of dangers, and no one knows when the next war will come.

Therefore, he wanted to solve this gang of horse bandits as soon as possible once and for all, and let them all die here today.

Robin was inside the car formation, seeing the horse bandits stopped attacking, he guessed that the horse bandits might want to retreat.

He absolutely couldn't let them go, so Robin thought for a while, and immediately ordered the car formation to be opened, so that the iron guards could line up again outside the car formation.

The iron guards gave up their shields and picked up their familiar spears again. Forty iron guards formed two thin spear formations in front of the chariot formation.

Taking the initiative to give up the advantage of the vehicle formation defense and exposing the infantry directly to the impact range of the cavalry is almost tantamount to suicide, and any commander with a normal head would never do this.

But Robin did just that.

He had to clearly send a signal to Saber: Be reckless, you can win.

Using Iron Guard as bait, Robin wanted to seduce the horse bandits and make them think that he could win.Only in this way, they will rush over without hesitation.

If Robin's subordinates were a group of ordinary human spearmen, then he would definitely not adopt such a risky tactic, because it would be courting death.

But Robin is leading a team of iron guards, highland warriors who have awakened the power of their blood.With the strength of the iron guards, it is no problem to resist the frontal charge of the light cavalry.

It should be said that with the giant power of Iron Guard, it is Robin who really has the upper hand.

Therefore, Robin has the confidence to implement such a seemingly suicidal tactic.

Saber was riding on horseback, seeing a group of caravan guards running out of the caravan formation, and then quickly forming two rows of spear formations, he was stunned for a moment.

He was confused at first, what the hell are these people doing?Want to use a spear against yourself?
But immediately, Saber realized that this was an opportunity.

There are only 40 spearmen on the opposite side, and there are [-] cavalry left in his hands. The distance between the two sides is less than a hundred steps, and the opponent can be defeated with a single charge!

Saber couldn't help showing an excited smile on his face. He absolutely couldn't let go of such a great opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

Although these spearmen appear to be of unusually large stature, the sabers take it for granted that they are proud cavalry.

Although the horse bandits are just a group of light cavalry without vests, cavalry is cavalry, and they have strategic advantages that infantry cannot match.

Once the horse starts to charge, the man and the horse weigh at least a thousand catties. Such a mountain of meat runs at a speed of sixty miles per hour, it is simply a steamroller on the battlefield!

The four sides are flat grasslands, which can be said to be the best terrain for cavalry to charge.

Saber didn't know who was directing the battle, was it Janna?Or a guard.But no matter who it was, Saber was convinced that he must be a fool to make such a ridiculous deployment.

He couldn't help laughing happily, and said to the deputy horse bandit beside him, "Look, those idiots on the other side have gone crazy and came out of the back of the carriage on their own initiative!"

The horse bandit's deputy also laughed. Like the saber, he was thinking of withdrawing just now, but when he saw an opportunity, he had the idea of ​​continuing to fight.

After all, so many brothers died in this business, it would be a great loss if they didn't make any profit.

The saber pulled the rein sharply, turned the horse's head, and faced the horse bandits behind him, he wanted to mobilize before charging.

"Brothers, we suffered a small loss just now, but now, the God of War has given us a good opportunity. As long as you follow me and rush over, we will win!"

"We saber knights can't just run away in such a desperate way. We must let these bastards know who is the real king in this wasteland, and it is us!"

"Follow me, draw your sword, charge, and crush them!" Saber raised the knife in his hand and shouted hoarsely.

The horse bandits were once again aroused with bloody fighting spirit. They put down their bows and pulled out their sabers from their waists. A group of people raised their sabers to the sky, like a group of wild wolves on the wasteland, echoing the earl of the saber and uttering "Awow!" roar.

Holding a big sword in one hand and wearing armor, Robin walked to the front of the spear array, his steps were slow but powerful.

Seeing that all the horse bandits on the opposite side pulled out their sabers and howled loudly, he knew that his strategy of luring the enemy had succeeded.

Simon ran to Robin's side, showing a simple and honest smile like an old farmer: "Hey, leader, the other side is hooked."

Robin nodded with a stern expression: "Follow me in a while, charge."

Simon put the iron helmet on his head: "Yes! Leader!"

Then, Janna ran over again with small steps. She ran to Robin and asked in a panic, "My lord, you opened up the car array and called the soldiers out of the defensive formation. What are you going to do?"

In terms of military affairs, Robin has always been arbitrary, so he didn't say hello to Janna beforehand, and the red turban didn't know Robin's battle plan.

In this "false caravan" operation, Janna's main job is to help Robin complete the disguise. After all, Robin and the others are not real merchants, and their behavioral logic is definitely different from that of the caravan. Prevent being seen as a horse's foot.

Regarding the battle plan after encountering the horse bandit, Janna also asked Robin curiously, but Robin prevaricated it with a few simple words.

"The archers shoot a wave, and the iron guards do a wave of close-up, and they all work."

Janna understood the baron's incomprehension, and she trusted Robin, so she didn't keep asking.

But at this moment, seeing that Robin had transferred all the soldiers out of the car formation, Janna suddenly became a little anxious.Even if she didn't understand military affairs, she could tell that Robin's troops were too small, and they were not heavy infantry, so they couldn't resist the cavalry's charge head-on.

Robin calmed down, moved his shoulders and neck, and was most prepared for the final battle.

He answered Janna calmly: "Can't you see this? We are going to charge."

"charge?!"

Janna was dumbfounded, her beautiful blue eyes wide open.It was the first time she had heard that the infantry charged the cavalry at such a young age.

She said in disbelief, "My lord, is the horse bandit on the opposite side going to charge?"

"Yeah, they charge, we charge too, he charges his, I charge mine." Robin said it logically, as if it was a matter of course.

Janna was dumbfounded immediately.

If this word came out of someone else's mouth, Janna would definitely call him a lunatic, but if it came out of Robin's mouth, no matter how absurd the plan sounds, Janna couldn't help but want to believe him .

After all, Jana thought Robin was crazy more than once before, but in the end it turned out that there was absolute strength behind every seemingly crazy move of Robin.

This man can always make the impossible possible.

Then, Robin began to chase Janna away impatiently. "It's dangerous here, go back and lie down under the car, don't make trouble for me."

After finishing speaking, the lord could not help but gently push Janna, but his hands were not serious. Although he was as gentle as possible, he still pushed the little girl back.

The red turban was a bit airbag, but he still obediently ran back to the carriage, and returned to the carriage where he hid before, lying under the carriage like a little rabbit.

She believed in Robin, the unconditional kind.

It's just that her big smart eyes were still watching Robin's back worriedly.

Robin also put on the iron helmet. He looked resolutely at the horse bandits in the distance, and shouted:
"Prepare to attack!"
