BXBX NOVEL Chapter 446 - The Final Charge
Chapter 446: The Final Charge
However, the war had already begun. No matter how regretful the knight commander was, he could not order the entire army to retreat and give up the position here, hoping that he would be able to leave the battlefield easily.
Not only would the enemy not let them off, even his current allies would not allow such a thing to happen.
The Pirates of the Resniston River had long been filled with greed.
They had a thirst for treasure.
Whoever dared to give up on this operation would be the enemy!
Don’t look at how they were all on guard against each other now. They were gradually advancing in a defensive posture. They wanted to engage in close combat with Kant’s cavalry group. In fact, when it came to the final attack, they would still swarm forward.
After all, it was all for the sake of money. Although they did not care about the casualties of their allies, they definitely cared about victory!
If they did not win.
That was equivalent to not having any treasures.
If they could not obtain these carriages full of treasures, then it was impossible for them to have their dream life.
The Pirates of the Resniston River understood the simple reason. This was also why they were still in a petal-like formation and were still advancing slowly, step by step, hoping to use the dense formation to disperse the threat of the cavalry.
Although the charge of the cavalry group was terrifying, it was still difficult to contend against the encirclement of the infantrymen.
It was difficult for two fists to fight against four.
The infantrymen group that had the advantage in numbers could also pile up to kill the cavalry group that had fewer men.
Moreover, in a real war, the cavalry that was caught in close combat actually did not have as strong an attack as the infantrymen. As they still had to control the warhorse, it was more inconvenient.
This was also the reason why, with a short lance in hand, they could suppress the cavalry in close combat.
Moreover.
He was still full of confidence in these elite long lance soldiers by his side.
When the silver platter kingdom’s troops invaded the Dukedom of Leo, they relied on these long lance soldiers to force the knights of the Dukedom of Leo to be unable to launch a frontal assault. Moreover, in the confrontation between the infantrymen, they defeated those mercenaries head-on.
The mercenaries, who were disorganized and had no tactics or discipline to speak of, were simply no match for these elite lance soldiers.
The final result was that the infantrymen had been completely defeated.
Their formation had been shattered.
If it had not been for Baron Dylan, he would have used schemes and risked his life to defeat the silver platter kingdom’s generals and guards, causing chaos on the entire frontline. At that time, Cameron had seized the opportunity to turn the tide, and it was basically impossible to determine victory or defeat.
Now, his confidence was lacking because of the elite long lance soldiers that he relied on to withstand the enemy’s attack.
There were simply too few of them!
“Boom, Boom, Boom –”
The horseshoes struck the land of the plains.
The heavy cavalry had already begun to move slowly on the flat terrain. Finally, they began to sway left and right around the troops that had already formed a defensive formation and were waiting to charge.
The 800 sarrandian horseman were like 800 hungry wolves with green eyes.
They were scouting for opportunities.
As long as there was a slight gap.
In the end, these sarrandian horseman would pounce forward without hesitation and completely open the gap!
Don’t look at how beautiful these six petals were. In reality, once they were heavily injured, they would be destroyed like real petals. They would not be able to withstand the direct charge of a group of heavy cavalry.
This was because Baheshtur had already led part of the Mamlukes into a distance that was sufficient for them to charge.
200 meters.
A total of 1,000 Mamlukes lined up in three rows.
Each row of 300 people was like a huge rectangular body. They carried the reflection of silver heavy armor as they slowly pressed forward. They began to gallop on their horses. They even began to increase their speed..
The rumbling sound became more and more intense as the earth shook. It was like the sound of a flood finally appeared.
The expressions of the pirates on the river changed drastically.
This was the charge of cavalry!
It was the charge of a group of heavy cavalry that was terrifying as a flood!
When they were on the river, they had never seen such a large scale charge of heavy cavalry. They also had no idea what kind of destructive power such a terrifying charge could bring.
However, the hearts of these pirates had already begun to tremble because of this terrifying charge.
Sarrandian horseman took the lead to charge on both sides!
And the target of the charge.
Was the two waves of pirates on both sides of the river!
In the petal-shaped gap, there was a gap of nearly two meters. It seemed small, but in reality, it was the easiest place for cavalry to break through when charging forward!
As long as they charged through these gaps and broke through the external defense, they could cause chaos in the defensive formation.
Next.
It was the Mamluke’s turn to completely crush the enemy’s Charge!
This was Sarrandan’s favorite way of attacking, and the Kujits’s way of attacking was similar. However, compared to the kujits who could ride a bow and shoot, Sarrandian’s attack was more direct.
In terms of destructive power, it was also more brutal!
It was brutal to the enemy.
Similarly.
It was brutal to itself!
The charge began. The Sarrandian horseman, who held a lance in his hand, had already spurred his horse and charged into the gap between the two waves of Riesneston River Pirates. He rampaged and knocked away the pirates who dared to stop him.
Although the outermost pirates held short spears, they were also the most garbage cannon fodder.
The true elites were all on the inner side.
Similarly.
The short spears in the hands of these trash cannon fodder were also considered as short spears in the sense of the word.
They only used a wooden pole to cover the spearhead. Compared to those high-quality short spears forged by blacksmiths, the real military short spears were not considered weapons at all. They could only be considered as weapons used for self-defense!
This also caused the elite Sarrandian horseman to ride their horses and charge at the pirates arrogantly.
“For the Lord! For Sarrandia! Kill!”
The pirates resisted with difficulty.
The robust Sarrandian horseman and the armored Sarrandian horseman were like one entity. The scimitar in their hands slashed down fiercely, using the round shield of Sarrandian on their left arm to block. The light infantry pirates suffered heavy losses.
Although the Warhorse also suffered superficial injuries, it was only so. This kind of creature’s vitality was very tenacious.
Even if it was a deep wound, it would not die for a moment.
On the contrary, it even stirred up the warhorse’s bloodlust.
It let out a crazy neigh.
Then, in its rampage, it knocked the pirates to the sides heavily. Then, it stomped on them with its hooves. No matter how the Pirates tried to block or dodge, it still did not hinder the 400 Sarrandian horseman that charged in from both sides. On the contrary, their own side suffered heavy losses!
Even though nearly 30 sarrandian horseman riders and warhorse had fallen together, the result of the battle was the deaths and injuries of over a hundred water bandits, as well as more water bandits, who were fleeing to the side in fear!
Because the ones following behind were the desert bandits.
Along with the whooshing sound in the air.
The short javelins poured down.
These 300 desert bandits did not charge into the formation directly. Instead, they nimbly used the advantage of the light cavalry to throw at the water bandits who were gathered at the rear with short bows in their hands, killing and injuring the water bandits archers who were wearing leather armor.
In a short moment, the entire water bandits were trampled on by the cavalry.
However, no one dared to act on their own.
The leaders of the water bandits of the Resniston River shouted crazily, indicating for their subordinates to counterattack.
At the front, the knight commander was breaking out in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and ordered the elite lance-soldiers to defend to the death, ensuring the stability of his front line. Because right in front, the group of Mamlukes had already started to move.
Kant had personally launched the charge!
