. Amidst the low shouts of the soldiers in front of the formation, the sword flashed past, and Raul had already killed the knight off his horse with his own hands.
He held the sword for a moment, then gently closed his head. Feeling that the guards who had neglected their duty had rushed to his side, he followed the instructions and took back the flag that was still flying.
Then, several brigades of pikemen were ordered by the commander to go onto the battlefield.
This group of farmers who were recruited and trained for only a few days turned pale. They held their spears tightly in fear and blindly, and stuck together with their companions. Not even a fly could fly into the gaps between them. Under the slightly trembling command of the captain, he moved forward little by little.
A while ago, they had prayed to God under the leadership of the pastor. Such a warm feeling had made them confident and thought they were invincible. But now, once it was his turn to fight the enemies and go to the battlefield, that kind of courage was like the rare snow in midsummer - it had melted and drifted away in the blink of an eye.
As the pikemen moved slowly, they still came to a place farther forward in the middle of the battlefield, and encountered an enemy who was more frightened and unbearable than them. After seeing the familiar face across from them that was also covered in sweat, their minds almost went blank.
He just heard the captain of his own army shouting with all his strength, "Pick up the gun, lift all the guns for me!" He vaguely complied with it. Their captain was also in a panic and looked ugly, and didn't even wait for the team to leave. When I got to the best position, I couldn't wait to give the order, "Strike, thrust forward!"
Most of the spearmen obeyed this order, and their spears were passed forward rashly, and then most of them missed. Only a few people were lucky enough to reach the opponent, but because the hand holding the gun couldn't help trembling, they couldn't achieve any real effect.
And the emperor's spearmen are much uglier than them. It was the opponent's blind thrust that caused the captain to make a wrong judgment - although without this, he might not be able to continue to persevere.
The battle on the battlefield is still going on, and with the recommendation of the battle front, the number of contacts with each other has increased. Most of them screamed in fear and a little hysterically, and desperately handed the spear to the enemy. The tip of the spear was soon stained with blood. The enemy on the opposite side was falling in pain, and there were also companions in pain beside them who tried to retreat, but were stopped. Companions further back squeezed closer to the front.
This kind of battle lasted for about two or three minutes. Among the pikemen of the Northern Expedition, some of the more clever and unlucky guys finally discovered that when they were stabbed by a spear, a faint white light would appear on their body, and the light seemed to It can help him resist the attack Because just now, the bastard opposite tried hard for a long time, but it only caused scratches on his arm!
This was, of course, when the pastor was praying earlier. The protective light that blesses the pikemen can withstand ordinary physical attacks, but it is not unlimited.
For example. Among those seemingly clever guys. There are a few smart people. They thought they were invulnerable under that light, under the love of God and earth. Courage immediately returned to the body.
Several of them shouted excitedly. Jumped out of the team. Ignoring the protection provided by his companions. He used the spear wildly and without any method. Stab towards the many enemies in front of you.
They did have some success. But soon the white light on his body was exhausted. He was stabbed in the body with multiple spears. Mouth spitting blood. He fell to the ground with a blank look.
Raul from behind saw this situation in his eyes. He couldn't help but shook his head. Simon next to him also said with regret: "If they had been more careful, maybe they could have forced the blasphemer out"
? And that¡¯s exactly what happened. Although the spearmen are in smaller numbers. Taking the initiative on the scene. But he didn't take advantage of his own advantages at all. That is the white light. There is no way to defeat the opponent.
If the opponent's spearmen run away, Simon can lead his paladins to take advantage of the situation and attack them, close to the local camp, and rush to execute or capture the opponent's king before he can escape!
So Simon suggested again: "Shall I bring two teams of paladins to attack the opponent's flank?"
Looking at the knights who were waiting for him, Raul shook his head and rejected, "It's not the time yet, the other party is still cautiously testing. And" He pointed to the shaky battle line on the battlefield, "That guy, They should be recalled soon.¡±
Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, a military order came out from the enemy camp. The frightened spearmen immediately dropped their spears and arm shields and ran towards their own camp as if they had been granted amnesty. go.
They fled in all directions, but several groups of cavalry slowly stepped forward to hold down the position with the flanks to allow Lao Lao to retreat.You can't take advantage and can't pursue me.
So under the command of the captain, the spearmen of our own army slowly returned to the camp and received the commendation. But at the other side's camp, at almost the same time, a string of heads hung out in front of the camp gate.
It¡¯s like the king was angry that his spearmen were still in this state even though they were numerically superior, so he took his anger out on the defeated soldiers.
When the two armies rested for a while, the emperor sent out soldiers again, eager to gain some advantage from the situation.
At this moment, most of their generals and nearly thirty spearmen rushed to the battlefield, allowing them to advance slowly with shields in hand, covering the archers behind them, and moved towards Raul. At the same time, the opponent's cavalry also started running. They detoured back to the two wings of the Northern Expeditionary Army, preparing to cooperate with the rain of arrows to attack the weak flanks of Raul's army.
The emperor's behavior made the commanders of the Liao army panic. They were a little at a loss and looked at the commander of their own army eagerly. When they saw that Raoul was not surprised, he smiled and said, "I thought that guy would be more patient." It¡¯s better!¡±
So they mobilized their troops and concentrated all the spearmen and archers on the opponent's left wing where there were fewer knights. It was obvious that they were going to feign an attack. They ordered their commander, "As long as you block the attack, it will be a great victory!"
Then he divided all the paladins into two teams, with a smaller number. Only three groups of paladins were given to Simon, asking him to resist and entangle the cavalry on the right. And Raul himself will lead all the remaining paladins to attack the Chinese army with sharp spears!
The paladins began to pray and strengthened their beliefs in prayer. Priests also rushed to bless their companions with many magical spells before the battle.
Then, another man who looked like a wizard separated the crowd and came to Raul. He licked his upper lip eagerly and asked excitedly: "Sir, it's time to use that! We are all ready!" "
Raul frowned slightly, then smiled heartily and said: "Then please help us cover our advance! Please help us open a passage!"

Another a little explanation: As the only war described in this world, of course, there are reasons Please ask the students to be less impatient. At the latest tomorrow, everyone will know the reason. :)
Oh, I forgot to mention, there will be a second chapter later around midnight.
