- Chapter 15 The Battle of Wesen Village (5)
Just after stopping for a while, Elantra's huge formation started again. The soldiers looked nervous and shouted slogans in conjunction with the sound of flutes and drums as they moved forward.
Bumi Xiu, who was always observing the battlefield, his eyes lit up, he quickly raised his hand, and said seriously: "Order the archers and crossbowmen to arrange their formations and prepare to attack."
"yes!"
The guards' messengers quickly conveyed the words, and the centurions of the crossbowmen and archers' brigade shouted to remind their troops.
Lin Fenghan watched as the 400 local long-range troops were arranged in 2 rows, walked out of the formation, and lined up in front of the center wing and left wing of the Second Army. He quickly waved to Ke Langde and said sincerely: "Ke Langde, come on!"
"I'll leave it to you to determine whether the Elantra army can gain an advantage in the first battle. According to previous deductions, find their weak points, attack them, disrupt the formation of the archers, and then shift positions to create opportunities for our crossbowmen. Initiative.¡±
"Baron, don't worry! I will not let you down." Coland tightened the rope on his helmet seriously and shouted to the cavalry lined up solemnly beside him.
"Brothers, come with me, the moment of glory has arrived."
"Warriors, attack!"
Kelande took the lead, brandishing his sword and shouting, and in three rows, more than 100 mixed cavalry with crossbows and spears, followed by the flag-carrying soldiers, took the lead in rushing out of the Elante army formation and rushed towards the left wing of Bumishiu's second army.
The captain of the Guards of the Second Army looked at the large group of cavalry rushing out of the battle formation and said nervously: "General Boumisio, they sent a large group of cavalry to attack our left wing. Let's also send mixed cavalry to intercept them!"
"Yes!" Boumisio nodded decisively and said seriously: "Order the light cavalry brigade of 100 to intercept them."
100 men and horses, leather-armored light cavalry equipped with short bows, short crossbows and spears, led by the centurion, rushed out from the left wing of the Second Army and rushed towards Coland's centurion.
Lin Fenghan rode a horse in front of the right wing and advanced slowly with the infantry. Looking at a group of cavalry appearing from behind the left wing of the Second Army, he looked stunned and said quickly: "Order Rams to lead his light cavalry centurion and go forward." To intercept the enemy's light cavalry and assist Coland, I grant him the freedom to attack and act according to the situation."
"Yes!" The Guards messenger nodded and quickly conveyed the message to the light cavalry troops not far away. Following Kolander's back, Rams led his light cavalry to follow Koland towards the front. run.
The Elantra army was advancing slowly but firmly, at a distance of 400 meters from the forward of the Second Army. The light cavalry of the Second Army had rushed to a distance of more than 40 meters from Kelande's troops. Seeing the bad opportunity, the cavalry archers fired crossbows and arrows at the light cavalry mixed with bows and arrows of the Second Army.
At this time, Rams had already led the melee light cavalry with spears to Korande's troops. Rams looked at Korande from a distance and shouted: "Leave the light cavalry here at Korande to us. You follow the planned plan." go ahead."
The panicked Coland turned around excitedly and waved to Ramsay, shouting: "Thank you."
"Brothers, follow me and attack to the left."
"yes!"
The horse archers, who were huddled in a group and were shooting arrows at each other, shouted loudly and ran loosely to the left in the direction led by Kelande.
Kelande, who was more than 170 meters away from the forward of the Second Army, led his troops to run quickly to the left, and approached the Second Army in a wedge shape. The bow and arrow drawn again in his hand were loosely drawn at a distance of 120 meters from the forward of the Second Army. Archers and crossbowmen lined up neatly 100 meters away.
"ah!"
"ah!"
"ah!"
The archers wearing light armor suffered a small amount of damage, and more than 20 archers who were unfortunate enough to be hit by arrows shouted in pain.
Most of their injuries were not fatal, but the screams of their companions came towards them, and bows and arrows were inserted not far away. The huge shock caused the group of archers to launch their bows, arrows and crossbows.
More than 300 bows, arrows and crossbows were fired at Kelande's horse archers.
"ah!"
"ah!"
¡¡
In a loose formation, the archers who were unfortunately shot made a sound of severe pain, gritted their teeth and advanced towards the left.
"Ouch!"
Kelande¡¯s mount was also hit by an arrow. The bow and arrow scratched his buttocks and shot into the saddle. The mount suffered a sharp pain and neighed as it advanced faster to the left.
In just two minutesMore than 10 people were injured when Coland's horse archers exchanged fire with the horse archers of the Second Legion. More than 10 people were injured when they passed by the archer formation in a line. Unfortunately, 5 of the more than 100 cavalrymen fell off their horses, and 30% of the remaining cavalrymen were injured by arrows.
In the cold weapon age, bows, arrows, and crossbows were not very powerful. In addition to directly attacking the heart, throat, head and other parts, it is generally difficult for them to kill soldiers directly. They are injured and bleeding on the battlefield, fell off their horses, and were hacked to death due to inconvenience. Soldiers who died of infection were occupied by soldiers shot by bows and arrows. More than 90% of the people.
In ancient battlefields, the main functions of bows, arrows and crossbows were to lower the enemy's morale, break up their formations, and protect cities and strongholds.
"Brothers! Charge!"
"Flying spear, throw!"
Ramsay shouted passionately, holding a short spear and advancing in a loose formation towards the cavalry archers of the Second Legion. The 100 light cavalry were divided into three rows, with more than 30 people in each row.
The knight in front showed off the three-meter-long spear in his hand, pointed the tip at the cavalry archers of the Second Legion and rushed over. The huge shock caused a commotion among the second officer's horse archers. The horse archers in front quickly dispersed to both sides. The horse archers on the left stopped chasing Coland's horse archers, and the bows and arrows in their hands were aimed at Ramsay's melee. The mixed equipment is consistent with the attack of leather-armored light cavalry.
The 100-man melee light cavalry easily passed through the formation of the Second Legion's cavalry. The dispersed Second Legion's cavalry continued to flee towards the rear. Rams's melee light cavalry, whether with cavalry spears or flying spears, Caused fatal damage to the Cavalry Brigade.
In just 2 minutes, nearly 30 light cavalry members of the Second Army were injured, dismounted, and killed.
Bumitio secretly resented the scarcity of cavalry, and quickly sent the guards commander to lead the heavy cavalry to support the horse archers.
When the light cavalry of the Second Army was dispersed, there was a commotion among the spearmen, swordsmen and infantry on the left wing of the Second Army. Many excited warriors prepared to leave the formation to support the archers on their side, but they were all stopped by the rational Baidu. The husband, squadron leader, and squad leaders suppressed them.
Having gained a significant advantage, Ramsay lost three men in his own army and lost his morale. He was so excited that he did not stop and led the melee light cavalry to a distance of more than 70 meters in front of the second army. Following Kelande's pace, he led the army to run to the left.
Along the way, the spear light cavalry equipped with three flying spears projected their spears one after another, causing huge chaos to the crossbowmen and archers of the Second Legion.
In this environment, the squad leaders and squadron leaders who had the best discipline and clearest heads also lost their judgment and ordered to fire the bows and arrows in their hands.
In the situation where the formation was interrupted by Collander's cavalry just now, the archers of the Second Legion did not achieve good shooting results. The loose bows and arrows did not make a light cavalry with a spear wearing suitable leather armor fall off his horse. . Instead, the archers were shot by solid bronze flying spears, wounding more than 50 people.
"good!"
¡°It¡¯s really great.¡±
Lin Fenghan, who was looking at the battlefield with a monocular from a distance, patted his thigh excitedly and said excitedly: "I never thought that Ramsay, who is usually taciturn, lonely and cold-hearted, would have such a talent. When this war is over, I must do my best. Reward him."
"Elantra is mighty!"
"Elantra is mighty!"
"Elantra is mighty!"
¡¡
The Elante soldiers who observed the situation at the front of the battle formation patted their chests and shouted.
