Outside the city of Gavia, the two armies faced each other.
More than 6,000 troops in the city of Gavia, led by Count Gilbert, formed an array in the city of Gavia.
Six thousand troops filed out of the city, adjusted their formation, and lined up to wait.
During this process, the Knights of Thorns have been waiting quietly. Even though they saw many civilians from Gavia City dragging their families and families southward from the south gate of Gavia, the Knights of Thorns remained indifferent. .
When the July sun was completely high in the sky, shining dazzling sunlight on both sides of the formation, Gaivia's defenders completed their formation under the watchful eyes of the Thorn Flower Knights.
It has to be said that as the most important city on the Louis border, the quality of Gaivia's defenders is much higher than that of the border guards in other military villages.
What is displayed in front of the Thorn Flower Knights is a more compact and more reasonable defensive formation. This formation is even as standard as described in war textbooks.
Walter opened his mouth and smiled.
"It's interesting This is what makes it interesting The Lewis people in the past couldn't even form a neat formation, and it was no fun at all to attack Hehe Sure enough, they were just playing second fiddle"
"Snapped¡¡"
Roland raised his hand, slapped the back of Walter's helmet, and pulled off Walter's face shield. With a "click" sound, it fit perfectly with the helmet, protecting Walter's head tightly. .
"It means nothing We are knights, and charging in formation is what we should do In the past, charging when the enemy's formation was not well established was called bullying"
Roland casually taught Walter a few words and shouted to Count Gilbert opposite.
"Before the war begins, I will make you a promise. The Knights of Thorns will not harm innocent civilians, regardless of whether they are from Lewis or not!"
"Thank you!"
Gilbert, who put on a bright armor, stood in the middle of the defensive formation and thanked him loudly.
"We have heard that Young Master Roland of the Feng family is a model of knights, and he treats civilians with great love. When we meet today, it is true. I, Gilbert, am here to represent the thousands of civilians in the Louis Empire. Thank you!"
After Count Gilbert led all the defenders of Gavia City out of the city in armor, he suddenly felt open-minded and generous to let go, especially when the Thorn Flower Knights did not attack the civilians leaving the city, he even put everything aside. .
What can¡¯t be defended? ?
Count Gilbert seemed to have returned to his youthful days, with a hot blood burning in his chest.
"The Knights of Thorns have been well-known in the mainland for a long time. We are all knights. To be honest, I have great respect in my heart. It is really an honor for us to be able to hunt with the Knights of Thorns under the city of Gavia today!"
Gilbert, there is so much pride in your words!
¡°In order to express my and everyone¡¯s respect for the Knights of Thorns in Gaivia City, we are here in formation!¡±
"Today's battle, regardless of success or failure, I just want to be happy!"
"good!"
Roland shouted loudly, which shook the whole country.
"Ever since I entered the territory of the Lewis Empire, I have broken through twenty-seven villages in nine days. It's really boring! I thought the Lewis people were all weaklings!"
"As I said just now, I'm a little tired of fighting these weaklings!"
¡°I got to meet General Gilbert today, and it made me see that there are still tough guys among Lewis people!¡±
"If you don't say anything else, just what you just said is worthy of our Thorn Flower Knights charging into battle without reservation!"
Roland and Gilbert, one old and one young, one in the south and one in the north, attacking and defending, after a conversation, the atmosphere on the battlefield was pushed to the highest peak!
When their eyes met, sparks burst out!
¡°It¡¯s useless to talk more, let¡¯s fight!¡±
Roland fiercely raised the two-foot-long steel gun in his hand. The wide gun blade looked like a flag fluttering in the wind in the dazzling sunlight!
The five hundred and thirty-eight knights of the Thorn Flower Knights suddenly changed their momentum.
????????????????? The Knights of Thorns, who are standing quietly and waiting, are like a calm sea, exuding a dignified and steady atmosphere all the time.
So, from the moment Roland raised his two-foot-tall steel spear, the Knights of Thorns turned into a turbulent sea, with a solemn and solemn aura, like a huge wave rising higher than the other, pointing straight ahead, waiting for the ground to form. The sky collapses!
The two-foot-long steel gun points forward!
The broad gun blade reflected the dazzling sunlight, forming a wide arc in the void.Brilliant, the golden edges converged on the top of the gun blade, pointing directly at Louis' military formation!
"kill!"
With a loud shout, Black Jack, the vice-captain of the Wild Wolf Team, led the Wild Wolf Team to attack!
The one hundred and ninety knights of the Wild Wolf Team, still wearing leather armor, shouting strange screams with unknown meanings, followed the deputy captain Black Jack and rushed out of the battle formation of the Thorn Flower Knights!
The fatigue of many days could not be seen at all from these men in the prairie. The Wild Wolf Team lived up to their name of wolves and quickly approached Gaivia to form the battle formation of the Louis Border Guards.
The long arrow pierces the sky!
A feather arrow from Black Jack seemed to open the valve for the attack of the Wild Wolf team. Countless feather arrows were shot at the Louis border guards overwhelmingly.
"Shield! Defense!"
The Louisian border guards of Gavia still used Machiavelli's line of defense to face the enemy. The large shield soldiers in the first row of the defense line all curled up behind the large shield and used their bodies to hold up the front. of large shield.
"Puff puff¡¡"
There was a sound as dense as a rainstorm, mixed with many screams. It was the knight of the Wild Wolf Team who skillfully shot the arrow through the gap between the two large shields.
The Lewis border guards, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, were naturally not frightened by such negligible casualties.
Staring at the big shield in front of him, he was ready to receive the cavalry charge of the Thorn Flower Knights.
However, what Gaivia Louise border guards did not expect was that the cavalry charge they expected did not happen at all, and what followed was still an uninterrupted rain of arrows.
Although the soldiers of the Lewis Border Guard did not know the reason, after years of training, they were very curious, but they also knew that they had to do what they should do first. Nothing would happen until the officer gave an order. Superfluous move.
"However, compared to the curiosity of ordinary soldiers, Earl Gilbert's expression changed, because he was in the middle and highest point of the defensive formation, so he naturally knew what was going on.
The Wild Wolf Knights were about to enter the attack range of Louis' bow and arrow. Suddenly, a collective change of direction occurred. One hundred and ninety knights actually used their actual actions to make the war horses draw in front of Louis' military formation. A perfect arc!
What¡¯s even more frightening is that these guys can continue to release feather arrows when making high-speed collective changes of direction!
What kind of riding is this! ?
What kind of shooting is this! ?
This is how much training it takes to achieve this effect! ?
Count Gilbert didn¡¯t know these things, but he knew that Louis¡¯ border guards were going to be in trouble.
The Wild Wolf Team of the Thorn Flower Knights has a battle bow mixed with magic metal in each hand. The range of its feather arrows is more than half that of the archers of the Louis Border Guards!
And under the protection of such incredible riding skills, the Wild Wolf Team has been wandering out of the bow and arrow attack range of the Louis Border Guards!
They could only watch the Wild Wolf team attacking Louis' battle formation with bows and arrows, and the archers of Louis' border guards could only watch helplessly. Even if one or two young and energetic ones tried their best to pull the bows and arrows in their hands, they could only watch. However, the dust rolled away, causing the Wild Wolf team to burst into laughter.
Being beaten passively is not only a matter of frustration and affecting morale. The Wild Wolf team is galloping in front of Louis' battle formation, and their tricky arrows are constantly taking away the lives of Louis' border guards.
A single rain of arrows, taking away dozens or hundreds of lives, would do no harm to Gavia's army of 6,000 men, but what if there were ten rains of arrows, or a hundred rains of arrows! ? This is the pain that the Lewis border guards cannot bear!
What is even more serious is that as time goes by, the first row of large shield soldiers has suffered heavy losses. If this continues, it may not take too long for the first line of defense formed by the large shield soldiers to collapse!
"The Wild Wolf Team is like carrying endless arrows. From the beginning of the war to now, the intensity of the Wild Wolf Team's attack has not changed!"
Count Gilbert¡¯s face has turned livid.
Could it be that the 6,000 men and horses he brought out from the city of Gaivia were shot dead by the Thorn Flower Knights like this! ?
Count Gilbert looked at the remaining members of the Thorn Flower Knights who were still standing in the distance. He couldn't help but hesitate for a while, then looked at the precarious defense line under the attack of the Wild Wolf Team, and gritted his teeth.
"The second cavalry brigade, the third cavalry brigade, attack! Be sure to drive out the cavalry archers of the Thorn Flower Knights!"
?"First Cavalry Brigade, ready at any time!"
There are three cavalry brigades, each with 500 cavalry, for a total of 1,500 cavalry. They are completely the best of Earl Gilbert.
He knew that if he wanted to achieve the final victory in a cavalry charge, no matter how the infantry was used, it was the cavalry that had the final say!
¡°If we release these cavalry now, it will definitely make the battle more difficult in the end, but Gilbert has no other way.
Who makes the Wild Wolf Team¡¯s bows and arrows so fast, so dense, and so accurate!
Just when the cavalry was preparing to attack, Louis' infantry lost a lot. If he had gritted his teeth and not used the cavalry, his side would have been severely defeated before the final decision was made.
Louis¡¯ cavalry mobilization naturally cannot be hidden from Roland¡¯s eyes.
Smiling casually, he said casually to Edward beside him: "It's your turn"
Edward has continued his taciturn style, slowly putting down the visor of his helmet, and gently urging the war horse under his crotch.
"Team Tiger, follow me"
