Chapter 633 - The Final Battle - Formal Engagement

The crossbowmen phalanx next to the infantry phalanx, the elite crossbowman phalanx, and the cavalry phalanx went deep into the infantry phalanx again, responding to the enemy's attack with crossbow arrows.

Although the battlefield is fought in the plains, even in the plains, there are still many hills and slopes. Although the slopes are not high, the troops that can be put into the frontal battlefield by both sides will not exceed more than 500 people.

The enemy infantry who came this time were mixed with militiamen and recruits, and there was even a group of elite enemy crossbowmen, all of whom were skilled and experienced crossbowmen. After fighting back, under the protection of the shield wall raised by the forward infantry, Zhang Qiang's side fell more than 300 crossbowmen, infantry, and cavalry archers, and then, Zhang Qiang's side's crossbowmen shot, causing the enemy to fall more than 700, the most It was the enemy's elite crossbowmen. That was because Zhang Qiang attached great importance to the enemy's long-range firepower. The priority of attack was the enemy's cavalry, crossbowmen, and finally infantry. Therefore, the enemy lost more crossbowmen than Zhang Qiang.

After a wave of shooting, the enemy's phalanx advanced and reloaded, while the infantry on both sides beat their shields and weapons and continued to battle, intimidating the enemy and emboldening their own side.

This time the enemy seemed determined to rush forward and fought with Zhang Qiang's troops.

Regardless of the impact.

In an instant, he advanced more than 50 meters.

Since the enemy attacked first, the enemy's crossbowmen reloaded faster than Zhang Qiang's side. The loaded crossbowmen caught up with the front team. Launch another wave of blows.

This time the focus was on Zhang Qiang's cavalry archers. Because the bows and arrows were not as far and powerful as the crossbow arrows, they were not very lethal. Therefore, after the enemy lost more than a dozen crossbowmen and infantry, they caused 100 damage to the cavalry archers. Due to the heavy damage, the cavalry archers had to pack up the wounded, and under the command of the knight, they retreated to the back to rest again.

In other directions, dozens of infantrymen fell down. Because of the protection of the shield wall, dozens of crossbowmen fell down. Under the protection of the shield wall and their own armor, the elite crossbowmen only fell a dozen people.

They quickly counterattacked, still the enemy's elite crossbowmen. After a wave of shooting, the crossbowmen fired again, and the enemy's crossbowmen and elite crossbowmen fell in large numbers.

The enemy's infantry fell by a dozen.

At this time, the enemy's infantry had broken away from the crossbowmen and rushed to the front 60 meters away. Some infantry with super strong arms had already thrown javelins into the infantry team on Zhang Qiang's side.

There was the sound of some wooden shields shattering, followed by screams. Javelins were much more lethal than crossbows and bows. The important thing was the screams when they were injured.

In the rear, King Harlaus has ordered the troops to advance 50 meters forward as a whole, and the distance between the two sides has reached 250 meters, allowing the cavalry to attack.

Rolf standing beside Zhang Qiang, wearing white armor, said worriedly, "The enemy will definitely send cavalry to attack next. Shall we let our infantry retreat and send cavalry to go up?"

Zhang Qiang shook his head and said a few words to the messenger.The messenger quickly waved the general flag, and the throwing infantry and swarms of troops commanded by Caitlin and Bandak quickly moved up from the formation behind the crossbowmen, took over from the cavalry archers, and set up positions to prepare for the enemy's cavalry counterattack.

In the distance, the cavalry brigade of King Harlaus and the Harengos family is already gathering. This time there are still some light cavalry, rangers, and some elite cavalry cavalry. These low-level cavalry will attack first, Kara The lords of the Dia continent always follow the combat method of cannon fodder, ordinary soldiers, low-level soldiers, ordinary elites, elite soldiers, and finally the general guards, attacking in stages.

Perhaps what King Harlaus and Earl Crags of the Harlengoth family thought was that these cavalry troops would be enough to break through the defense of Zhang Qiang's infantry and archer troops on the front line, defeat the enemy, and then, by the way, rush in like waves. The enemy's formation is deep, defeating the enemy, and then the cavalry pursues, and finally destroys the enemy.

On Zhang Qiang's side, after the crossbowmen shot, they retreated while loading, and slowly retreated to the rear of the infantry, because the enemy battalion approached within 50 meters. If they moved forward, their infantry would throw javelins, spears, and fly Axe, it's time to strike back at the enemy's infantry.

Originally, the infantry on Zhang Qiang's side could also throw them at a distance of 60 to [-] meters. In order to kill a large number of enemies, Zhang Qiang never ordered the infantry at the front to counterattack, but built a shield wall for defense.

When the crossbowmen and elite crossbowmen all withdrew from the infantry formation, and when the crossbowmen fired another wave, Zhang Qiang changed his order.

"The crossbowmen shoot freely, and the infantry is ready to counterattack." Then he waved the flag and handed over the command of the battle to the knights at the front.

After giving the order, Zhang Qiang looked indifferently at the soldiers on both sides of the front who were getting closer, and a thought suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, "Why am I fighting?"

But this idea was just like a flash of inspiration, suddenly popping up in his heart, and then suppressed by Zhang Qiang's strong sense of crisis.

Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is not the time to think about these things. After the two small-scale trial battles, the morale of the soldiers seems to have improved somewhat, and they are not as panic-stricken as yesterday. For the unknown future, and King Harlaus Personally conquering Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang felt pressured by such a reputation of rebellion and rebellion. Perhaps at the moment when their lives were about to die, what they thought most was to survive or fight for the new lord, Or the new king's allegiance.

And their new king is undoubtedly Earl Zhang Qiang who owns a large area of ​​territory. He may be a Marquis, or he may be a self-proclaimed king of the principality like Rod Laboye, but Zhang Qiang is standing against a man who has not been officially canonized. The reputation of the marquis is not enough to be the king of the principality, maybe he is the king of the marquis country.

Attention returned to the forefront of the war. The enemy's impact caused some panic to the infantry at the front. Under the suppression of the knights and knight attendants, Zhang Qiang's infantry team quickly stabilized their position. After the enemy approached 30 meters, they quickly Some of them threw powerful and deadly javelins, darts, throwing axes, spears, and some soldiers even threw out their long swords due to nervousness. The effect was of course obvious.

At a distance of 30 meters, the fastest enemy has already run within a distance of 25 meters, rushing over with claws and claws. Even a middle school student in the real world can easily throw an iron ball to a distance of 30 meters, let alone these for war Born, farmers from Calradia who are born warriors, trained militiamen, and recruits who already have combat skills. Tier [-] light infantry, or those Tier [-] infantry who used to be mercenaries who licked blood and experienced many cruel fights, and Tier [-] heavy infantry have proven their strength and combat capabilities through previous battles, and even possess super mental quality.

"puff puff"

"what--"

The screams were endless, and the enemy's attack stopped immediately. Even with the heavy cavalry supervisor behind, the enemy's infantry quickly turned around and fled.

Almost all the enemy infantry and crossbowmen on the front line were killed at the front of the position.

The infantry at the back hesitated for a moment, and were killed by the second wave of javelins and other throwing weapons. The enemy's attack formation suddenly became chaotic. In addition, there were free-firing crossbowmen and elite crossbowmen behind Zhang Qiang's infantry phalanx. The cavalry archers running in the gap behind the two phalanxes, their kills, the enemy lost more than 1000 people at a time, only some veterans who also have experience in large-scale wars are still rushing forward, they know that if they don’t rush to the enemy soon In front of the infantry formation, they will be killed by the enemy's thrown weapons.

At a distance of more than ten meters, but within two breaths, some enemy infantry rushed to the front of the formation, and the single ones were quickly cut down by Zhang Qiang's infantry, which was larger than them, and the larger ones quickly fought against Zhang Qiang's infantry together.

More and more enemy infantry reached the front of Zhang Qiang's infantry formation, and the two sides fought together.

Just like a basket of eggs falling on a piece of stiff cheese, the eggs will all crack in the end, and the cheese is just damaged and the skin is broken.

Unlike what Zhang Qiang and Rolf imagined, Harlaus and Earl Klages did not send cavalry to take the opportunity to attack Zhang Qiang's infantry phalanx, but continued to send out a team composed of light infantry, infantry, and elite crossbowmen. Thousands of 500 people continued to press on, causing some pressure on Zhang Qiang's infantry.

They were fighting the enemy's infantry, with their own crossbowmen behind them, and the enemy obviously knew how to beat them, and more troops were sent out.

Zhang Qiang frowned, and gave some instructions to the messenger.

The ballista carts in the rear were pushed up and deployed behind the infantry on the other side.

The Chinese army increased the number of crossbowmen. At this time, he had sent out all the crossbowmen to fill the gap between the infantry in front of the swarm of crossbow carts, and used them to kill the crossbowmen and infantry behind the enemy.

In such a dense formation, crossbowmen don't need to aim, and they can shoot even one person with their eyes closed.

The phalanx composed of the remaining crossbowmen was moved to the back of the ballista carts and infantry phalanx for reinforcement, and the central army was the newly added crossbowmen and the remaining elite crossbowmen.

Zhang Qiang likes to reduce the enemy's strength remotely like modern warfare.

The distance between the two sides was only 180 meters, and the long-range crossbow arrows could already hit Zhang Qiang's frontier infantry troops, or the crossbow arrows from Zhang Qiang's side could hit King Harlaus and the frontier troops of the Harengos family.

The crossbow arrows flying in the air from both sides collided with each other intensively, and then fell down, hitting the infantry units within the range of the crossbow arrows on both sides.
