Warlock Royal Family

The evacuation team just now can reduce the hit rate of bows and arrows.

When the cavalry is on the field, the evacuated formation is not very beneficial. Of course, even if they maintain a dense formation, these civilians will not have much resistance to the impact of the cavalry.

The moment the suspension bridge was lowered, the ranks of the peasants fell into chaos. The peasants in front saw that the cavalry was still leaving the city and immediately stopped and retreated. Although the peasants in the front row kept shouting to tell the people behind the situation, the back row was afraid of Yuladi Slaus' military law is still moving forward.

Although the suspension bridge can only accommodate two cavalry in parallel, and after leaving the city, they reorganized their formation first, and then began to accelerate the assault after forming a cone.

Although the pace with which the "insurance players" went out of the city and the speed at which they formed a charge formation were evaluated by Machiavelli as "a typical third-rate army", the peasants who were still a thousand miles away from entering the city still huddled together in place. The regiment did not retreat enough distance in this time.

The Italian mercenary cavalry who were the first to go out of the city plunged into the chaotic mass of civilians like sharp blades. Although their weapons were long-handled scimitars that did not require much training among cavalry weapons, under the acceleration provided by the horses sprinting, for only rags It is still too deadly a weapon for civilian husbands who cover their bodies.

The cavalry with arrows as wide as 20 people cut through the meat group composed of civilian husbands without any hindrance, leaving a mess on the ground. Almost everyone in the first few rows of cavalry chopped down a civilian husband. The casualties caused by the stampede, when the cavalry turned around 300 meters before the Roman army, more than 120 civilians fell in the middle of the battlefield, most of them were not killed immediately, but the wounded will not be taken care of for the time being.

Although there were hundreds of crossbowmen in the Roman army, they fired crossbow arrows at the cavalry in groups. This shooting was not ordered by Ladislaus, but the overly nervous reaction of the inexperienced Roman crossbow captain. At the extreme distance, obviously there would be no results. Not a single member of the insurance team was shot by the soft crossbow.

Ladislaus's reaction to his subordinates is also expected. The Roman Church Army has not fought for decades, and the middle-level officers are all related. The reactions of these rookies have not broken the lower limit, at least shooting back To be able to achieve Qi she shows that there is still a certain amount of daily training.

According to Machiavelli's suggestion, Ladislaus arranged the 500 infantry in three rows. Seeing that his raised arms fell, the first row of [-] infantry began to press on.

Ladislaus himself and the boss of Silica in the second column also began to move forward, and Machiavelli and John Sr. commanded the third column as a reserve team.

Because of the threat of trebuchets on the turret, Ladislaus did not choose a dense phalanx that was more suitable for dealing with cavalry.

There is no doubt that it is impossible for such infantry to prevent the cavalry from returning.

But the "Hand and Half Sword" mercenary group can do it. Kessell-Weiting's time control is quite good. When the Sienese mercenary cavalry just left the city, his troops began to break away from the cover of the woods and accelerated all the way until the peasants were slaughtered. After a round, "hand and half sword" just appeared on the flank of the Siena mercenary cavalry.

Consul Petrucci on the turret saw them from the "hand and half sword" out of the shelter of the woods, but he was unable to stop the "insurance team" from attacking, and just because the enemy also had cavalry and retreated without fighting, It also hurts morale.

Therefore, he ordered the two hundred Sienese guard cavalry behind to intercept the "hand and half sword" cavalry.

Consul Petrucci's plan was very good. The insurance team of the Fei family attacked, and the local cavalry directly under him supported him, avoiding big risks and having sufficient response capabilities.

There are several other favorable factors that are also beneficial to the Siena army. Although the "hand and half sword" mercenaries are usually infantry fighting on horseback, their army horses are much worse than Siena's fine cavalry.

In terms of weapons, the hand and half sword is a common weapon for cavalry warfare, which is much worse than the spear equipped by the elite cavalry.

Everyone above the small captain of the cavalry has a cold-looking fine steel armor, and except for Kessell-Weiting who has a full-body steel armor, everyone in the "Hand and a Half Sword" only has leather armor.

Moreover, Siena prepared cavalry in the rear sweeping formation.A cone-shaped formation suitable for impact has long been formed, which is also a great advantage over the enemies who barely adjust their formation while marching after leaving the woods. Although there are 300 people in the "Hand and Half Sword", but because of the unfavorable formation, it is impossible to meet them at all. Can't take advantage of the number of people, basically one-on-one hedging.

Comparing all these factors, it seems that the situation of "hand half sword" is quite bad.

Although these unfavorable factors were not decisive after analyzing, Ladislaus was still quite nervous for a while, but as the two cavalry teams approached, Ladislaus' expression became more and more relaxed. He could see that the outcome The balance of life is tipping in its favor.

The two sides are not exactly hedging head-on.

In the process of hedging, Siena's guard cavalry gradually leaned towards the city in an arc, and they were instinctively seeking comfort from the city wall.

The commander of the guard cavalry was in the formation, and did not feel this slight change at all.

However, both Ladislaus and the Petrucci Consul, who was at a high point and had a better vision, had discovered this phenomenon.

Consul Petrucci could only shout eagerly from the turret, trying to get his men back into formation, which was of course futile.

The two roaring torrents finally converged, and with just one crossing, more than a dozen riders fell to the ground, almost all of them were Siena cavalry in white cloaks, and there were only two members of the "hand and half sword" in red cloaks. indivual.

Although the "Hand and Half Sword" was basically mounted infantry when they engaged in guerrilla warfare with the acting Grand Duke in the Württemberg area and never engaged in frontal hedging, it was still more than enough as a pure cavalry to deal with meat-footed opponents in the Italian area.

When Kessell-Weiting was slightly flanking the opponent, he, who had experienced many battles, immediately noticed this phenomenon, and understood that the opponent was looking at a glamorous waste snack, and he commanded his subordinates to maintain a sharp momentum.

Sure enough, the Siena guard cavalry immediately turned towards the city after being slightly frustrated, trying to escape.

Kessell-Witting, who had expected this situation, was on this wing. He shouted "Kill" and plunged straight into the Sienese cavalry group. The other "half-handed" mercenaries also gave up their speed without hesitation. Tightly entangled the Siena guard cavalry.

It is undoubtedly a very dangerous behavior for cavalry to give up speed.

But Kessell-Weiting chose the right choice. This kind of fighting is really a nightmare for the Siena Guard Cavalry, which is a collection of rich second generations with more than a few remnants.

Only a few guard cavalry were parrying the enemy's longswords, most of them just ran away with all their strength.

The guard cavalry commander couldn't restrain the subordinates who changed direction collectively at all. Before the two sides disengaged, more than a dozen white cavalrymen were cut off from their horses.

Relying on his strong strength, Kessell-Weiting achieved at least three victories by himself.

Seeing the heavy casualties in the guarded cavalry team composed of aristocratic offshoots, Consul Petrucci said to Yeyou-Fei beside him: "Speaker Fei, quickly let your insurance team attack their cavalry and support the guarded cavalry." Let's go to town."

In this cold winter, Consul Petrucci was already sweating profusely.
