Chapter 82 Battle between warriors and cavalry

Feeling the armor being hacked, Lechicki silently thanked the craftsman who made the armor because the armor saved his life.

The leader of the Essenland army turned around, cut off the spearhead of the spear that attacked him, and then gave the attacker a kick, making him bend down.

Then the villagers around him swarmed up and hacked the sneak attacker to death.

Lechitzki looked around, still seeing a scene of melee.

The Aedian and Nilfgaardians were fighting desperately, and the blood on the ground had gathered into a river, and people were dying every moment.

Naturally, many of the Essenland militiamen also fell. Seeing his fellow villagers being killed, Lechicki was quite heartbroken.

This is a young man he brought out from the villagers, and there are some who were his family members a generation ago.

But it was just heartache, and he still led his men to fight without hesitation.

This battle brings together the expectations of the entire hometown for the future, and he cannot let his hometown people down.

Since Herme became the Lord Protector, the status of the Essenlanders in the Lord Protector's government has been rising.

After all, Herme can rest assured that he can only use these fellow villagers and relatives from Essenland, and these people are willing to be loyal to him.

Groups of Herme's fellow Essenlanders occupy the middle and lower levels of the Protectorate's government. As for his relatives, they occupy many middle and upper-level positions.

However, since the number of relatives was indeed small, Hemei promoted many fellow villagers to the middle and upper classes.

Therefore, in the Kingdom of Aedirn, the current Protectorate Government of Aedirn also has another name, and that is the government of the Essenlanders. After all, there are Essenlanders everywhere here.

At that time, many people regretted that they were not from Essenland. Everyone thought that as long as someone was from Essenland, they could become an official.

Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show the number and status of the Essenlanders in the Protectorate Government.

While the Essenlanders are enjoying the benefits brought by their rise in power, they are also aware of how conspicuous they are in Aedirn.

Therefore, in order to maintain their position, the Essenlanders knew that they had to fight tooth and nail.

Hemei has also made this clear to the fellow villagers. Since you enjoy the power and benefits from him, you must also come to help him when he needs it.

Therefore, in this battle, Essenland's large and small forces used all their strength. These four thousand soldiers are the essence of the entire Essenland, and they are all equipped with qualified equipment.

If Herme wins this victory, their power will continue, and will be further enhanced by the victory of the Protector.

But if they fail, they will be in ruins, and the entire region will suffer heavy losses and may even be liquidated.

"Onward! Onward! My brothers! For our homeland!"

Following Lechitzki's roar, the Essenland militiamen rushed towards the Nilfgaardian lines and fought with these men in black.

The Essenland militia mostly uses people from the same village and town as combat units. With the neighbors in their hometown behind them, their fighting power is even more fierce.

"Ready! Launch!"

Lechicki suddenly heard such a shout coming from his side, and subconsciously raised his shield in that direction.

And it was this that saved his life, because the next moment several crossbow arrows were inserted into his shield, and the strength from his arm told him that the crossbow arrows were determined to pierce the armor...

But the Essenland militiamen around him were not so lucky, and most of them were shot down by surprise.

Only a few of the knights survived because of their thick armor, but they were still scared now because the arrows of the crossbows had slightly penetrated the armor and were inserted into the armor inside the armor.

Looking towards the direction from which the crossbow arrows came, Lechitzki discovered that a group of crossbow cavalry had appeared on the battlefield at some point.

These crossbow cavalry were firing at the Aedianites in an orderly manner. One group was shooting while the other group was loading.

On the side of the crossbow cavalry, a group of Nilfgaardian heavy cavalry rolled over and knocked away the Essenland militia array.

Further behind, a large group of Nilfgaardian tin cans came up to expand the front line. These tin cans cooperated very closely, and the long swords in their hands continued to kill the Aedirnians.

A Nilfgaardian rider raised his visor and blew the horn in his hand.

The unique horn of the Sun Wheel Division sounded, inspiring the Nilfgaardian army to advance.

Caught off guard, the Essenland militia's front line was immediately torn open with a large hole. Although the militiamen fought hard to fight the enemies who rushed in, the number of enemies was still too many.

"For the Great Sun Disk!"

These Nilfgaardians are very fanatical in fighting, and they are completely fearless of life and death. Coupled with their strong armor, one can imagine their powerful fighting power.

Looking at the flags on their bodies, Lechicki realized that these people belonged to the Sun Wheel Division, the Nilfgaardian elite transferred by Adal.

As the chief of general staff, Lechicki memorized all the information he could collect on Nilfgaard's divisions and brigades.

Among these records, the Master of the Sun Wheel is undoubtedly the most difficult one to deal with.

The Division of the Sun, also called the Ain Fed Division, this unit uses the Silver Sun as its flag.

In the Nilfgaard Empire, all the troops that can use the sun as their symbol are not simple. This is the embodiment of combat effectiveness. Only troops with strong combat effectiveness can wear the sun wheel.

At present, this Sun Wheel Division has indeed shown its strong combat effectiveness. The troops under the Silver Sun Wheel are like iron fists, smashing the northern army formation in front of them.

The crossbow cavalry used their maneuverability to fire crossbow arrows on the flanks, the heavy cavalry crashed into the enemy's front line, and then the heavy infantry expanded the results. This process was completed in one go, without even taking a breath during the process.

This army was like a meat grinder, constantly strangling the northerners.

"Stabilize the front! Stabilize the front!"

Lechitzky took a matchlock gun loaded by the attendant next to him and shot the Nilfgaardian soldier closest to him in the head.

However, other people immediately picked up the banner again, and the Nilfgaardians simply followed one after another.

There are a lot of matchlock guns on the market right now, so naturally some people equip themselves with this good armor-piercing weapon, and Lechitzky is naturally among them.

"Damn, these lifeless bastards."

Seeing the Nilfgaardians rushing forward like they were desperate for their lives, Lechicki couldn't help but cursed angrily.

These bastards are really desperate for their lives, one after another without end.

The Essenland militiamen in the front desperately resisted the advance of the Sun Wheel Division, but they were still defeated one after another by the swords and spears of the black-clad army.

After a while, the battle line was pushed to the vicinity of Lechitsky.

"Everyone join me in the battle!"

Lechitzki called out to his men, and then bravely entered the battle formation.

He first cut off the legs of a Nilfgaardian cavalry horse that had just lost its impact, causing the knight to fall. Leaving the fallen knight for his men to harvest, he killed the Nilfgaardians in front of him, and those Nilfgaardians.

The Gadians formed a shield wall, but Lechitzki threw a bomb at the shield wall.

Although the bomb did not kill many people, it was enough to open a hole in the Nilfgaardian battle line. He just rushed into the battle line, and the Essenland militiamen behind him also fought in.

The battlefield immediately turned into a melee, with swords, guns, swords and halberds coming and going.

Although the Essenland militiamen fought bravely and were determined, they were still unable to face the Sun Wheel Army.

After all, the Sun Wheel Master had been recuperating for so long, and now it was simply sweeping away after being thrown into the battlefield.

Adal Aip Darcy put in his last reserve team. After this wave, he really had no soldiers at all.

The Duke's expectations for this counterattack were so great that he sent out the main defense team.

The result also made him very satisfied. It was the input of a wave of reserve teams that successfully contained the northerners' attack, and there was even a vague tendency to counterattack.

Back to the present, when Lechitzky was also besieged by Nilfgaardian soldiers, and just when he was feeling exhausted, reinforcements arrived.

A group of Cossacks rushed in with a desperate attitude and started fighting with the Sun Lun Division. Although their armor was not as good as the Sun Lun Division, at least they dared to risk their lives.

This fierce blow on the flank greatly affected the actions of the Sun Wheel Division, and the division's flag also wavered, but they quickly entered the state and started fighting with the Cossacks.

This is the scene that Herme wants to see the most. The Cossacks all die anyway, so it would be great to exchange these lives for the Nilfgaardian elite.

Of course, you must not say this. It would be bad if you say it.

"Hey, bro, are you okay?"

Lechitsky saw a Cossack Ataman coming to his side, and his Cossacks cleared away all the nearby Nilfgaardians.

Lechitsky knew this man. He was Selivalov, a Cossack Ataman who had emerged in the recent series of wars.

Lechicki shook his head and said it was okay.

"It's okay, that's fine. Let's teach these black dogs a profound lesson. Ha, look, Master Hemei has joined the battle over there."

Following the direction of Selivalov's voice, Lechicki saw Heme's falcon flag entering the battlefield.

Following him, there were a large number of escort cavalry, including those royal knights who had been waiting for a long time. These royal knights were full of fighting spirit. They had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

Herme seemed to be planning a flanking attack, and the cavalry he led seemed to be taking a circuitous route.

Herme's appearance greatly boosted the morale of the front line, and all the people of Aedirn were excited for the arrival of God's Favored One.

In their view, the current victory must belong to them.

"Now that Lord Protector has joined the battle, we must work harder."

Lechicki wiped his sword with his smock, and then continued to rush forward.

Seeing this, the Cossack Ataman could not lag behind others, so he also drew his scimitar and attacked, and a brutal melee and killing ensued.
To be continued...
