Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

“Array! Array! Array!”

“Infantry! Raise your shield! Form a shield!”

In the chaotic crowd, the imperial nobles rode on horsebacks, raised their swords high, roaring loudly, listening to their screams, the shield-bearing infantry with tired faces squeezed to the front, as much as possible Place the shield in front of you close to the shields of your comrades to form a compact and strong shield wall.

While the infantry lined up, Clotor looked towards the archers and crossbowmen who were loading nervously behind, and said: “Our plan is to wait for the enemy to enter the range and pour the arrow rain down. On their heads, listen to my orders before shooting!”

After speaking, he looked up towards the dim sky, and glanced at the trees in front of him, with some worry in his heart. It is not the strong point of the imperial soldiers to fight in places where there is insufficient light or woodland.

Although Richard is a cavalry, he is not at all assigned to the cavalry. Instead, he is placed next to Clotor, Archon of Lagota, and his six soldiers have joined In the infantry line, before the start of the war, he once ordered his men to protect themselves during the battle. Although the EXP obtained by fighting the enemy is more, if the person dies, then the EXP obtained will be useless.

After the formation of the soldiers on both sides was completed, a cavalryman ran from the direction of the flying king’s flag. He brought Emperor Gallius’ order to Klotor, and then went away. Not long afterwards, a fierce horn sounded in the direction of the king’s flag. Then, the army of the Western Empire began to advance slowly, and the Batanians decided to hold on to the end, seeing their own numbers prevail, and all their infantry gathered. Together, form a huge circular shield array!

Woo——

Looking at the Batanians’ round formation like a hedgehog, the Western Empire army is also changing its formation as it advances, holding a crossbow. The archers gradually passed the melee infantry equipped with shields, walked in the front line, and continued to slowly follow Richard, who was on the left side of the Rageta infantry. He quietly observed all this and understood that the imperial army was prepared to use superior long-range firepower to give Barbarian Race has come to wash the ground.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden change on the left wing of the army!

“What are they doing?”

The cavalry battallion that suddenly came out from the left wing made the slowly advancing infantry and some imperial nobles who were supervising the battle behind the front stunned and shouted in amazement. Dao, especially those imperial nobles, the cavalry battallion attacked without authorization, which is different from what they planned in advance!

“What is Cyorgus doing?!”

The Western Emperor Gallius of the Chinese Army loudly shouted, and Apis, who was standing next to him, also looked surprised. He looked towards the messenger on one side, and asked, “What’s the matter? Didn’t you just tell Lord Syorgus to wait for the order and then go into battle?”

“My lord, I really will The order of His Majesty has passed…” The Herald, who sensed the situation, said with a trembling voice.

“Damn it, how dare he charge without permission?” Gallius angrily roared, “Let the infantry speed up, we can’t ruin all the cavalry with that stupid in the hands of the Barbarians of Batania Come on!”

“Blow the horn!”

Next moment, the heated horn sounded again. The infantrymen who were slowly advancing listened to the sound for a moment, and then soon afterwards After reacting, speed up the advancement. While advancing, the shield formation of the melee infantry began to disintegrate, and the originally neat formation became all split up and in pieces.

Looking at this scene, Richard looked a little worried. He looked towards Clotor, who had been pursing his mouth and said nothing. After thinking about it, he still didn’t speak. He is just a civilian mercenary wandering in this World, how can he have a say in the nobility?

At this time, more than a hundred cavalry attacking without authorization have already rushed into the range of the Batanias, and the archers hiding in the circle have used bows and arrows, and passed the clansman in front of them. The shield, sending arrows to the sky.

Many in the Batanian army are Batanian heroes with cloaks. These elite archers are equipped with powerful western longbows, and the cone-head arrows shot can easily break through the imperial cavalry. The chain armor on his body and most of the armor of the imperial soldiers defended, so after the arrow rain fell, several screams sounded in the cavalry battallion, and several cavalry screamed and fell off their horses. Although they fell to the ground, they did not die immediately. , But soon after being followed up by the war horse, it was too late to dodge and step on directly.

“Damn it, defend with a shield!”

The leading imperial aristocrat Cyorgus shouted angrily, and took the lead in raising the Knight’s koto-shaped shield in his hand. He wanted to see Based on the superiority of the number of our own army, the heavy cavalry directly led the heavy cavalry to disperse the formation of the Batania barbarian, and then let the following infantry expand the battle results, but I did not expect the Batania barbarian’s long-range firepower to be so fierce. The first round shot directly Shooting over several civil cavalry and equipped cavalry under his hand, one of the arrows happened to be stuck on the tie armor on his body!

whiz whiz whiz ——

The second round arrow rain followed. Fortunately, the cavalry all raised their shields this time, so the arrows were mostly blocked by the shields, ding Ding dong dong hit the surface of the shield, and some arrows hit the horses under their hips, but they were also blocked by the horse’s bust.

long long long ——

The posture of hundreds of heavy cavalry running at the same time made the ground tremble slightly, although the Batanian warriors formed a huge circular shield formation , But they watched the cavalry rushing over like a rainbow in an imposing manner, they were still trembling in fear, face deathly pale. The soldiers standing in the front rows resisted the fear of running away in their hearts, under the roar of the chiefs. Shakingly raise the fish dart and throwing axe!

“Shoot!”

“Split formation!”

Almost at the same time, the two nobles issued different commands in different languages, next moment, The Batanian Woodland scouts and the skirmishers threw darts and throwing axes at the cavalry who rushed in. The imperial cavalry who was about to hit the circle formed abruptly split into two when the voice fell, and circled the left and right of the circle. Open, and when they split, the private cavalry of the empire behind also revealed the steppe recurve bow they had already bent, sending their counterattack arrows to the Batanias!

In the next second, people turned their backs on their horses, and the arrows were dead. The fish darts and throwing axes thrown by the Battanians shot over dozens of imperial cavalry at such close range, and the horses that were shot. He and the cavalry screamed and threw forward along the inertia, and directly rammed into the crowd, knocking down and overturning a piece of soldiers in the front row. The barbed arrows fired by the imperial private cavalry also passed directly over the shields of the first row of soldiers, falling into the dense crowd, and blooming several blood flowers.

The cavalry changed lanes so unexpectedly and suddenly that the dust from the hoofs hit the faces of the soldiers in the first row and lost their eyes, waiting for them to When I saw what was in front of me, what I saw was the imperial archers who were shooting tens of meters away and preparing to send out a intensive rain of arrows!

(Except for the section where the cavalry split before hitting the circle, everything else was written in accordance with the battle I just fought. I didn’t expect the cavalry commander of ai to be so reckless and direct towards the enemy’s circle. Ran into it)
