Chapter 13 The Battle of Krakow, the sixth, like a dream (a rare moon
That's right, the elite troops built completely according to the standards of the armored paladin. The so-called princess's si soldiers, a total of 400 elite heavy cavalry armed to the teeth. The one who manipulated this unit was the young officer who was specially dug out of the armored paladin. Although his character was a little worse and even had inappropriate thoughts about His Highness, he had no ability.
While the Celtic heavy cavalry was crazily abused the grassland heavy cavalry, the officer took the opportunity to ignore the life and death of the grassland heavy cavalry and the feudal knights, and directly led the troops to the other side of the cavalry group, and then aimed at the flank of the Celtic heavy cavalry and launched a charge...
Unlike the Iron-armored Paladin, this group of elite cavalry uses heavy cavalry rifles in Western and European style. They are much stronger in weight, deterrence, and lethality than the Eastern style spear. This cavalry rifle seems very clumsy in close combat. However, when it comes to charge, it is much stronger than the spear.
A total of 400 heavy cavalrymen were quickly arranged into a wedge formation under the dispatch of the officer. A heavy war horse, coupled with a fully equipped cavalry and a scale for horses, weighed almost more than 500 kilograms. When hundreds of cavalrymen ran, they could rumble the ground.
However, if the opponents of this group of heavy cavalry are different, then they will definitely succeed this time, no need to say more. However, their opponent, Celtic heavy cavalry, is the same as Norman heavy cavalry. This military reform, although the Celtics did not have money to replace their equipment, the tactical level has also been improved. Especially the heavy cavalry unit that Artoria values the most. Egil has three research institutes that are constantly studying cavalry tactics and cavalry equipment, but at this moment it shows its power.
Seeing the enemy heavy cavalry rushing over. If it is an ordinary cavalry unit, the formation will not turn so quickly. When it is halfway through, the opponent will also rush over. If it is not considered the formation and only cares about the single heavy cavalry turning, the formation will be messy and will not be the opponent's opponent.
However, according to Norman's Sergeant Reform Regulations, the Celtic Heavy Cavalry also used the improved version of the Bo-Segment Charge tactics, using the Hundreds as the unit.
The dispatch speed is not comparable to that of ordinary feudal cavalry.
"Turn around, turn around!,, Seeing the enemy heavy cavalry rushing over, the three Celtic heavy cavalry centurions who were waiting to shout loudly: "Primary formation! Turn around!" Then the three heavy cavalry teams responded, and the cavalry with solid training quickly arranged into a prism array. This prism array is like a wedge array, but it is even more flexible. It is especially suitable for cavalry to respond quickly to combat. One of the three hundred teams is in the center, while the other two go around the flank of the Eastern Roman heavy cavalry and immediately launch a counter-charge. In this way, the Eastern Roman heavy cavalry is at a disadvantage in formation.
From the Eastern Roman heavy cavalry, they detoured next to the Celtic heavy cavalry, and then to the Celtic heavy cavalry, they changed their formation and launched a charge, without any loss of time. In a matter of minutes, the Celtic heavy cavalry had a small formation, not many troops, and changed rapidly, so they could quickly react. However, although the Eastern Roman heavy cavalry also saw that the formation was inappropriate, because of the large number and no similar training, even their officers did not know what to do if they encountered such a situation.
I had to be hit on both wings forcibly, and was charged by the Celtic heavy cavalry, and then the two wings were destroyed...
The front is slightly better, the Celtic heavy cavalry is strictly trained, but the Eastern Roman heavy cavalry is not bad. The losses of both sides are closer to the same point. The war horses, the cavalry and the collision are all extremely powerful. The heavy cavalry in the front row and their war horses are all killed, and none of them are spared and then they are stepped into meat mud by the iron cavalry on both sides who are continuing to gallop. The screams are endless.
However, both sides will be people with iron and stone hearts. Such a tragic scene can only make them even more excited. After a collision, the Celtic heavy cavalry had the upper hand because of their formation advantage. The battle losses of both sides were as high as one to three were almost killed in one blow. The heavy chain armor and scale armor could not stop the terrifying power of the heavy cavalry charge.
Immediately afterwards, the cavalry on both sides quickly dropped the rifle that broke into the dead enemy's body, pulled out the weapon of the secondary, tomahawk or iron mace, and fought. The head and arms that were chopped off by the tomahawk flew away for a while, and the brain plasma smudged by the wolves and the faces of the man...
The battle between heavy cavalry is more rigid than the flexibility and changeability of light cavalry.
But it is even more violent, bloody, steel and steel, steel and flesh, the roars of soldiers, and the battle between the weight of the weight of the cavalry that is not formed by the shape of a human and a horse is always the most eye-catching scenery on the battlefield.
However, Princess Lili Annu has no intention of appreciating~
It’s not that her artistic cells or aesthetics are incompatible with this iron-blooded spirit, that those who die are her soldiers.
It's lively to watch someone's house catch fire, but if it's your own house, then the command will make you feel upset.
His Highness the Princess saw that the light cavalry could not win, and the heavy cavalry could not win. On the front battlefield, Celtic heavy spearmen with a total of 15,000 people formed a formation, but his posture was different from the heavy infantry of the Eastern Roman legion. What was even more annoying was that there were really many gunners behind their infantry array. Light Celtic javelins equipped with light round shields, iron helmets, and armor-wielding are the elite auxiliary troops of the Celtic army. The heavy javelins in their hands were a little shorter than the light javelins of the Eastern Roman auxiliary infantry, but their power was several times greater. Even the scales on the body of the Eastern Roman heavy infantry might not be able to be completely defended, and at least they had to pierce a layer of flesh.
On the other side, the Prussian garrison army led by General Hans, the offensive of 3,500 professional Viking warriors made His Royal Highness even more upset. The Viking warriors' tactics were still to use flying axes to kill the enemy and then launch a fierce charge~
Although this is simple, but very practical tactic, it has always been the only magic weapon for infantry combat that the Norman army is proud of.
The Norman soldiers launched a fierce charge on the flank of the front battlefield. The elite Viking soldiers waved their battle axes and quickly dispersed the informal troops used by the Eastern Roman army to guard the flanks, a small number of hammer soldiers and dagger soldiers. Then they attacked the flanks of an Eastern Roman heavy infantry brigade.
The front of the heavy infantry brigade was fighting fiercely with the Celtic heavy spearmen. The tactics of both sides were almost exactly the same, the assassination of shield walls and spears seemed a little monotonous, and very organized. Because the heavy spearmen had high defense and slightly weak lethality, the war was slow, and it was impossible to tell who would suffer for a while.
Such a war has an advantage, which is that it is convenient for the commanders to dispatch and command. His Royal Highness looked over from a high place and could clearly see it: Oh, now is a stalemate. You can ignore it. When you fall into a disadvantage, you will not fail for a while. You can calmly dispatch reinforcements. The so-called civilized army, the so-called Greek and Roman army, like to use such tactics to fight against the enemy.
However, the joining of the Norman army changed the situation in an instant. The Norman soldiers rushed forward like beasts and rushed towards the flanks of the East Roman heavy infantry, twisting the heavy infantry into a scattered formation. This is the so-called barbarian battle, using fierce roars, wild charges and powerful battle axes! Compared with the slightly literary spearmen assassinating each other, the Norman men prefer such a happy way of war!
It is like the war between all barbarians and so-called civilized people.
When the formation of the spear infantry was destroyed and when the neat array they were proud of was destroyed, then they were destroyed. The Norman soldiers who launched a charge from the flank suddenly defeated the right wing of the East Roman heavy infantry. Hundreds of heavy infantry were killed, or washed down, and then trampled to death. The right wing of the entire front battlefield suddenly appeared again.
"Damn, damn, damn!!" His Highness the Princess said three times in a row, "Damn" and directly blew her extremely bad mood now. At this moment, His Highness the Princess had long lost her confidence at the time. Even the idea of dividing Eastern Europe with the Normans began to shake...
"But I must not lose in this war!" His Royal Highness the Princess shouted, and immediately ordered: "The Guards will be dispatched! The second, third, and fourth thousand men will assist the front, fill the vacancy, block the barbarian spearmen, and the fifth thousand men will assist the right wing, block the Normans!"
The princess had only 7,000 soldiers, all of which were well-equipped heavy infantry, and they were usually extremely precious. In order to aid the left wing, they only used a team of thousands of people. However, this time, they directly used four thousand people to carry them and took out more than half of their troops, which shows that the princess's determination.
The guards responded with a loud bang, sounded the trumpet, imitating the costume of the ancient Roman Empire. The centurions with wolf-skin helmets waved the eagle flag representing the Roman Empire. They also wore ancient Roman-style iron armor, red helmets, and purple cloaks held their long swords high, knocked on their oval shields, and shouted: "Long live the crown prince!" They formed a neat formation and walked towards the battlefield.
Lili Annu prefers to call her the crown prince rather than the princess.
"This, what's going on?"
