The ninth chapter of the lion and the wolf, one of the three cavalry

As the gun array advances smoothly and orderly, the thick feeling like a mountain gives people endless pressure. At this moment, the guards of the dwarf secret room with heavy armor on both sides, although they have not yet formed a line with the crossbowmen, their power has passed through - the four-point five-meter super spear made by the dwarves, all the spear heads are thickened and lengthened, and the materials are very exquisite. However, the gun rod is not known where the tree species is used, and what kind of processing has been processed. It is very hard and not as elastic as some tree species, so that the gun rod is too long and swaying to control. It is really an excellent killing weapon.

Logically speaking, at this moment, the Finnish light cavalry was watching the opponent's gun formation approach, and although there was still a distance, they should have retreated. After all, the super spear has an extremely lethal power to light cavalry like them. Without armor or vests, striking the super spear formation head-on is a death-seeking act.

However, the Finnish light cavalry still shouted strange and desolate slogans and rushed towards the wings of the crossbow formation. It seemed that they had made up the idea of ​​dying together.

Immediately afterwards, the crossbow formation quickly deformed under the command of the rear formation horn, and the two wings folded directly into the middle, and a three-row array directly turned into a trapezoidal array. Then there was a round of crossbow arrows and rain...

This was the greatest effort that Egil could do. When the three crossbowmen arrays exceeded the original array too much, the ending was decided - the light-armed Finnish light cavalry were shot by the crossbow arrows in an instant, but more light cavalry had rushed over. People took advantage of the horsepower and raised their sharp long swords in their hands, and then they fell to the ground one by one. The moment they came into contact, the crossbowmen array was severely damaged, and the trapezoidal array was messy like a crushed orange. Bloody heads flew across...

"Retreat..." Egil frowned, and a large number of shield spearmen and heavy shield spearmen in the front of the Swedish army were about to rush over. He knew that he would definitely suffer if he continued to fight. He was very happy to ejaculate just now. He didn't expect that the reward would come so quickly in this life.

"Do you want to use it?" At this time, Artoria beside Egil asked eagerly.

"It's not necessary - and you are not allowed to go to the battlefield." After Egil finished speaking, he completely ignored the actual spiritual pressure released by Artoria. He continued to pay attention to the battlefield.

At this moment, the crossbowmen arrayed on both wings.

Because the number of people was slightly smaller and the crossbowmen's desperate resistance, the Finnish light cavalry on both wings were severely damaged. When they rushed out, there were 200 people, and now there were less than 120 people left.

However, it still cannot gain an advantage. The main training of crossbow soldiers on weekdays is how to shoot accurately and quickly. Melee combat is a completely unstoppable thing. Although there is a small round shield tied on his arm, a long sword cross-body, and a light chain armor on his body, this piece of equipment is much better than that of ordinary light infantry - but it is either professional or not.

The light cavalry revolved and charged continuously, after fighting with the crossbowmen for a while, quickly turned their heads, and then charged again at close range - when the crossbowmen had no time to rush again, or reorganize their formation, the crossbowmen array completely collapsed a few times. Although the Finnish light cavalry consumed a lot of physical strength, they were still in good spirits. In desperation, Egil ordered the main formation to advance and ordered the crossbowmen to retreat.

After that, less than eighty Finnish light cavalry were left, all of whom were hit and killed on the gun array guarded by the dwarf secret room, and poked into candied haws.

In the first round of the confrontation, both sides had their own victories and losses. Although the gorgeous long-range lineup of Egypt's crossbow formation + longbowmen made the Swedes lose a lot. However, the opponent's Finnish light cavalry also had a bunker combat power, but two hundred cavalry completely destroyed the crossbowmen array. With hundreds of people lost and the array was completely destroyed, the crossbowmen had to retreat.

Immediately afterwards, there was the bloodiest, the most killing, the most intense... and the most boring melee infantry confrontation.

On the front, after the remaining crossbowmen were withdrawn, the Viking Death Warrior under Egil rushed over with a long-handled battle axe in his hand - one charge, one encounter, and then split the Swedish shield spearman on the opposite side, and the shield in half... Well, it's not that exaggerated, but it's certain that his head is chopped, and he can't die any more. However, the opponent's spear was powerless when he encountered the excellent composite armor of the board chain. At most, he would only suffer a little injury. If it was not hit by the vital point, it would be difficult to cause fatal injuries.

In this way, the Swedish army was eroded little by little, but the speed was still slow. In the final analysis, it was because Gustav's ruling ability added the combat effectiveness of his soldiers, which doubled the combat effectiveness of these inferior troops. The extremely high virtue also increased their morale a lot so that they would not collapse.

"Is there any movement in Robin Hood?" Egil frowned, and then asked the Knights of the Guard next to him in a whisper.

"It's very difficult, such a distance...and the other party seems to be ready," the guard knight replied.

Indeed, because the outpost battle that occurred in the Norwegian Black Forest before gave Gustav a preliminary understanding of the ability of the sharpshooter under Egil, the guy rarely wore a pair of chain armor produced by a dwarf, and forced a heavy chain armor and a leather-inlaid soft armor inside. He dressed up like a turtle. At the same time, there were dozens of horsemen holding large shields and wandering their eyes, ready to block arrows for his lord at any time. In addition, there were 20,000 cannon fodder in front of him, even the Robin Hood, who had excellent bow skills, would feel very stressed.

"Then you can only win by strength." Egil snorted coldly, and then said: "The first team, the improved tomahawk cavalry will be dispatched."

At Egil's order, the guards beside him continued to blow the horns, one long and one short, and then one long. It means that the cavalry (long) first array (short) attacked (long).

Afterwards, the Norwegian army had four hundred men on each wing, a total of eight hundred cavalrymen rushed out, and after a circle, they rushed towards the flank of the main battlefield.

"Damn..." I had heard before that the Norwegian knights had strong combat power and well-equipped equipment. After reading it today, I realized that they were well-known. Gustav gritted his teeth and ordered the Finnish light cavalry on both sides to move and entangle the opponent's heavy cavalry. Poor Finnish light cavalry with a sabre and leather armor to fight to the improved tomahawk cavalry all over the heavy armor. Before, a lot of Norwegian Black Forest outpost was killed, and then a lot of strong crossbow formations died. At this moment, the Finnish light cavalry was only 800. The combat power was worse than the number of equipment. The so-called blocking of the upper block is just blocking.

"Continue, attack." Just when Egil thought Gustav had lost his skills, but he still had 1,700 heavy cavalry and a large number of heavy infantry reserve troops, and victory was in sight, there was another change on the battlefield...

The Swedish Nordic guard holding a tomahawk in his hands shouted wildly, rushing towards the cavalry battlefield on both wings in a tsunami-like manner. He quickly reversed the decline of the Finnish light cavalry. In his hand, the tomahawk chopped down the horse's legs and the cavalry on the top, leaving the tomahawk cavalry poor to deal with.

"So that's it... Use light cavalry to cut off the charge, slow down the speed, and then use two-handed battle axe soldiers to strangle it. This is the tactic." Egil nodded on the opposite side, but was still unmoved: "Second Formation."

Afterwards, another 600 improved tomahawk cavalry rushed out from the Norwegian wings, circled again, and rushed towards the other side.

"Damn-Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn! Where did he get so many cavalry?!

Seeing another team of tomahawk cavalry roaring, Gustav was almost angry. Then he gritted his teeth and ordered the six hundred and fifty knights that he had been in the box to be sent out. These were either noble knights, feudal knights directly under Gustav, or temporary hired Ranger Knights, which were Gustav's biggest trump card in this battle. He originally wanted to go out to turn the world when the battle was at its most intense, but he did not expect it to be used here in the end.

Immediately afterwards, two heavy cavalry teams collided on the two wings. Although the knights on the Swedish side had a stronger training level, they were much worse than those of the improved tomahawk cavalry in terms of discipline. At the same time, although the knights were mostly equipped with heavy chain armor, their main combat weapons were long swords and shields, which were extremely disadvantaged when fighting against the improved tomahawk cavalry. Because the axes of the improved tomahawk cavalry have armor-breaking attributes. Often, the tomahawk cavalry could cut off a layer of chain armor by one axe, and at the same time the knights suffered internal injuries, breaking two ribs, etc. When the knights cut down with one sword, they could cut off at most one layer of chain armor.

However, this is not the end. Egil's 2,500 heavy cavalrymen were only used for 1,400 at this moment. There were still 600 Norman elite knights and 500 battlefield sects who did not dispatch...

"Third Formation." Seeing that both attacks were easily resolved by the opponent, Egil was as deep as water, but he was still calm. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the third and last form, a total of 300 Norman elite knights, as well as 500 Battlefield Clans, and a total of 800 elite heavy cavalry.
