Chapter 27 The Battle of the Nameless Heights, the seventh, fierce soldiers
.The mountain road is narrow, the only advantage that the Nuoyanci cavalry has! Even the cooperation between the soldiers cannot be carried out. Fortunately, the mountain road is narrow and the special force also makes the opponent's light infantry unable to be carried out. One-on-one, although the Norman Hussars cannot gain the upper hand in combat skills, at least because they have some advantages in equipment, they will not be defeated for a while.
The daggers in the hands of the light infantry in Eastern Rome were from the hands of the regional peasant and garrison troops. Compared with the steel-textured scimitars made by the Norman Hussars through the national unified weapon workshop, they were simply scumbags. In yesterday's battle, those daggers in the battle with the Norman Hussars, some people even broke the daggers because they used too much force. However, there was no gap in the scimitars in the hands of the Norman Hussars. Of course, this does not mean that the scimitars in the hands of the Norman Hussars are magical tools that cut iron like mud and blow máo to make a decision. It's just relative, it's just relative. If you cut people's heads, you can even roll the knife...
The armor on the body, the Norman Hussar used composite leather armor, which was made of two layers of good cowhide sewn together and sewed together. It protected the entire torso, and there were bound leather armor on the outside of both hands, and there were special knee pads in the joints. The entire set of armor was very ergonomic, and each joint was movable, which almost did not affect human activities, but could provide sufficient defense. Its defense is first-class against blunt weapons, and it also had a good defense effect against light weapons, just like a one-handed sword, and a big sword. Even if the opponent used a two-handed sword or a big sword, if he was lucky, he would probably be able to escape his life.
As for the armor used by the light infantry in Eastern Rome, it was a single layer, which could only block the far arrows, and even light weapons such as swords were difficult to resist. Moreover, only the torso had armor, and the limbs were luolu.
In this way, the Eastern Roman light infantry slashed over with a sword, unless it was very hard, penetrated the leather armor and hit the vital parts.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to hurt them. However, the Norman Hussars could easily penetrate the opponent's armor with one move, and cut the bones and cut them easily and happily.
However, the number of Norman Hussars was too small... There were only a hundred or dozens in total.
And only half of the people have come down now. Artoria watched his soldiers get frustrated at the mountain pass, but was afraid that the other party would have a chance to help, so she did not dare to send troops to help, so she had to order the Norman Hussars to fight and retreat and return to their original positions.
However, this mountain road is not so easy to walk. Even if there is no obstacle, it will take some trouble to climb up. Not to mention that while fighting with the enemy, they retreated. In the end, the Norman Barley Cavalry was blocked at a very difficult mountain pass. It was a little difficult to climb up here. The Hussars had to use their hands and feet and climb for more than ten seconds. In this way, a total of more than seventy Norman Knights finally climbed up to more than twenty, and the rest were blocked by the Eastern Roman light infantry, which exceeded four times their number.
If you want to climb up, the javelin behind the opponent will take the opportunity to throw and attack the climbing Hussels from behind. In this way, the Hussels will not dare to continue climbing up, and will have to fight with the enemy here.
"Go to help." Artoria asked for a headache and cracked head, and then ordered. She was still walking in front of her, but she didn't expect that she was a little heavy and almost fell down and had to walk a little slower. When she reached the mountain, there were only thirty Norman Hussars left.
"Pull those soldiers up!, Artoria ordered: "Boards and cavalry shè! Get rid of those javelins!"
Artoria issued an order and was in front of the front line, which cheered up the Norman cavalry, who was originally a little panicked, in total, 20 light-armed archers and cavalrymen, and shot them one by one. However, because of the distance and the dense mountains and terrain, the effect was not very good. There were only two javelins who were not long and too far ahead, and they were hit by them. One of them seemed to be dead in the middle of their mouths, while the other was just hit by them, with a high scream, but they should not die.
"It's really damn." Seeing this, Artoria felt her head hurt even more.
It seems like it is about to explode. There seem to be two things in front of your eyes, and you are in a bad state. Not to mention killing the enemy in this state, it is very difficult to maintain a standing posture.
Artoria had no choice but to move her body, leaned against the trunk of a tree without any trace, and then gritted her teeth and ordered: "Continue to attack the light infantry of the enemy! All the Norman Hussars stepped forward!
Let's fight back!"
Artoria ordered this, and the remaining more than 100 Norman Hussars responded, and the morale of the Norman and Celtic troops was boosted.
On the other hand, some Eastern Roman soldiers who had seen Artoria also shouted excitedly: "It's Artoria! Queen Noyan! Grab her and take it!"
Therefore, in contrast, the Eastern Roman army also boosted its morale due to the emergence of Artoria.
The Norman Hussars and the temporary light infantry of Eastern Rome were on this narrow field,
The Liao War began. Because of the slope of the terrain, the support troops did not have to be afraid of throwing bows or javelins behind their soldiers. As long as the angle was slightly adjusted, they could hit the enemy. Therefore, while the two light infantry units were killed with sabers and short swords, the javelins and arrows were flying violently above their heads...
Both sides tried their best to make their formation more dense, in order to invest more troops in such a narrow place. Therefore, both sides were crowded with people and even killed by the other side. Because the formation was too compact, they were squeezed in the middle by the soldiers next to them, so they couldn't go down.
In this way, both sides had strengths and shortcomings. At the beginning of the front line, it was in a narrow area that could only allow two or three people to advance together, so the Eastern Roman soldiers who had the upper hand in personal courage had the advantage. However, soon, Artoria discovered this and asked the Norman Hussars to fight desperately and push the front a little forward. So under the cover of the last rain of arrows of the archers, several Hussars roared and rushed downwards, using their bloody bodies and the falling force, causing the opponent's light infantry to stagger, but they themselves were also stabbed by the light infantry. Immediately, the remaining Norman Hussars took advantage of the situation to attack and pushed the front line forward for several meters.
However, Sui Zhan was only about three meters away, which changed the situation of the battle. Many of the mountain roads here were wider and could marching six to eight soldiers in parallel. Therefore, the Norman Hussars' more superb cooperation ability could be demonstrated, in order to overwhelm the personal strength advantages of the Eastern Roman army.
The Eastern Roman army launched a charge again without knowing it...
But I saw the Norman Hussars fighting in an orderly manner... First, attack, defense, and cooperation, which caused great suffering to the Eastern Roman light infantry. The guards who were born in gladiator slaves fought very well alone. However, the team was not as strong as the Norman Hussars. Although there were occasional performances of multiple fights of gladiator slaves in the gladiator arena. However, the number of times was very few, and the slaves would not be connected to practice on weekdays. The slave owners were afraid that these gladiator slaves would unite and rebel later. Therefore, although they had the opportunity to practice after joining the army, the imperial guards had been in an army for less than a year. How could they defeat the Hussars produced by the system?
The Eastern Roman army charged at this intersection several times in a row. In the end, only corpses from a ground were left. Blood penetrated the land, making the ground step like mud. The soldiers on both sides fought again and again on the corpses of the soldiers on both sides. However, the disorderly charge of the Eastern Roman soldiers was unable to break through the defense line set by the Norman Hussars.
"Javeliner!"
So, several Eastern Roman military officers discussed and planned to use the same trick again, so they retreated the Eastern Roman light infantry and replaced the Javeliner again. They planned to lead the Norman Hussars to attack, and then select the battlefield again.
However, after suffering a loss, the Norman Hussars naturally refused to do anything stupid again. They had a round shield and tried to block and dodge as much as possible, but they just didn't move forward.
The Javeliners quickly consumed the ammunition. Six of the Norman Hussars were killed and twelve were injured. The gap was soon unable to be filled by the soldiers behind. This attack instead added a rebound to the Celtic Javelin Cavalry. Artoria quickly ordered the soldiers to collect the javelins, and then let the light archers retreat. The twenty or so Celtic light javelin cavalry came forward, distributed the javelins and then used them as a support force.........
In this way, the Eastern Roman light infantry charged several times in a row, and their sharpness had long been smoothed out.
The next attack was weaker than the other. Even in the last time, before the close contact was met, he was scared back by more than a dozen javelins of the opponent and listened to Norman and the Celtic cheers and loud ridicule. The morale of the Eastern Roman light infantry was disheartened. Several Eastern Roman officers discussed it and decided to retreat first and then talk about it...
Seeing the Eastern Romans who had gone down the mountain in shame, Norman and Celtic soldiers cheered loudly, and the voices spread far away, making the bottom of Princess Lili Annu at the foot of the mountain extremely ugly.
"You have 600 people, 600 people!! More than three times the other party's!!! As a result, they drove them down like a sheep! Waste, a bucket!!"
