Half an hour later, Jiang Tian clearly saw the flag of the approaching army. It was a battle flag embroidered with white eagle claws. Surrounded by the flag were black cavalry; they wore pitch-black cone-shaped Norman helmets and heavy black scales.
Armor, holding a thick spear, and a white roaring wolf head painted on the chest.
Immediately following on the left were a group of armored axemen, each wearing a fur-edged iron helmet, half-body plate chain mail and a web skirt, holding a long-handled broadaxe or a double-edged axe; the same on their belts.
There were many small hand axes hanging on them; some soldiers held axes in both hands and carried large oval shields on their backs.
Then appeared on the right side of the leading cavalry, a large number of soldiers wearing thick scale armor and leather knee pads; most of them did not have helmets, but wore furry fur hats or jackal heads. Only a few of the leaders or
It was the general who wore an iron helmet with black bristles and brass decorations.
Most of the soldiers held double-edged spears that could be used to cut and stab, and carried several broad-leaf throwing spears or short-hook javelins behind their backs; some soldiers also held large leather-covered shields and cranes that were useful for breaking armor.
A hoe, a war pick, a cone-headed iron staff, a large hunting bow and a fir bow slung on the back...
"Saxons, they are actually Saxons!" Gismond breathed quickly again: "Damn it, we got the wrong news. The Saxons sent troops earlier than we expected, and they did not take the road south, but went directly
Passed through the territory of the Union of North Rhine."
"This is one of the elites of the Principality of Saxony, the White Wolf Guards and Tomahawk Warriors from Hamelin, and the famous Hessian Disciples; usually wherever they appear, there must be the deer-headed flag of the Principality of Saxony, or even
The golden deer banner representing the Grand Duke himself.”
While they were talking, these Saxon troops appearing on the skyline were already rushing through the wilderness like turbulent currents; and under the leadership of the white eagle claw battle flag, they faced the Royal Army that had just defeated most of the North Rhine people, almost
The offensive was launched in full swing.
Of course, today's New Kingdom Army is no longer what it used to be. The members of the First Army are mainly elite companies and battle-hardened veterans specially selected from overseas corps and major corps; in accommodating prisoners and suppressing the remnants
While resisting, you also react quickly.
Within ten minutes, several cavalry companies, including hundreds of knights, had gathered together; they almost ran head-on into the Saxon cavalry rushing forward; the colors of the blue cloaks and silver plate armor were instantly transformed.
The black tide of the Saxon cavalry was blocked and dented.
Many Saxon cavalrymen with black armor and black helmets were almost knocked over by these iron wall-like Royal Army knights in one encounter, and were knocked down under the hoofs of the horses; in the blink of an eye, they were trampled into nothing different from the soil.
colors. But they also quickly reduce and lag each other's speed.
Seeing these giant wolves spitting and wreaking havoc in the battle line, as well as the armed lycanthropes following the giant wolves roaring and fighting, Jiang Tian suddenly realized. It turned out that this was the Saxon people who dared to cross multiple vassal territories and march all the way into the Netherlands.
, and the confidence to interfere in the kingdom's affairs.
The German mountain tribes who tried to enter the mountains and forests were quickly bombarded by the preset firearms front, and fled in a panic. The artillery in the city of Liège also spontaneously began to move. So the decisive hand of the winner returned again.
Go to the battlefield on the main road in front;
Jiang Tian was about to give an order to have five grenadier companies hidden in the surrounding mountains and forests on standby to serve as the general reserve, as well as three Moroccan cavalry companies from the overseas legions; they were put into the battlefield after the shelling. The Principality of Saxony on the edge of the battlefield
Under the banner of Lushou, changes occurred first.
Under the pressing pressure of the Saxon army on the road, the battle phalanxes that formed the Royal Army's front were constantly defeated and dispersed. However, they reassembled more battle phalanxes in the rear, and also contained and gathered more broken friendly troops.
, ultimately delaying the enemy's offensive.
Although the classical conventional battle, which was originally full of blood and flesh, suddenly turned into a Western-style fantasy sweeping thousands of armies; but this also suddenly aroused a certain impulse deep in Jiang Tian's heart. After all, since he became the king
, it has been a long time since he killed anyone with his own hands.
It was from hundreds of giant wolves. The soldiers in the front row who were caught off guard and sprayed were almost frozen into one piece on the spot regardless of whether they were friends or foes. Even the knights of special blood were inevitably covered in ice with their men and horses, and their movements changed.
He had to slow down. The next moment, he was thrown to the ground by the giant wolf.
Located in the direction of the Saxons to the west of the battlefield, a gust of cold and bone-chilling wind suddenly blew; in the roaring smoke and dust, it briefly covered most of the battlefield, and also blurred the vision of both the enemy and ourselves, making the intertwined
The brutal fighting paused and stalled for a moment.
Then, several white lines braving the cold air rushed out from the gap where the Saxon troops at the rear had hurriedly retreated, knocking down and overturning many unlucky ones who couldn't dodge; they rushed straight to the intersecting front lines.
In an instant, clouds of white smoke burst out.
But there were also some smaller battle formations that unfortunately encountered the relatively elite tomahawk warriors of the Saxon army. They were carefully chopped up in the melee and penetrated the white soldiers on the outer front; or the black soldiers who were skilled in throwing and shooting were killed.
The Mori disciples besieged them; looking for one thing but not the other, many casualties occurred...
However, after a long period of fighting and pursuit, the New Kingdom army was inevitably exhausted. Although it could still maintain a considerable degree of order and morale, it was also generally weak in follow-up. In the battle after battle, it could no longer defeat Saxony.
The entire army is capable of a powerful counterattack.
In some larger phalanxes, there was even enough space to accommodate and gather a considerable part of the cavalry and artillery. Then after a short period of repairing and eating, under the Saxons' turns of attack and siege, they waited for opportunities to launch attacks from time to time.
Local counterattack and artillery containment;
A few hours later, the battle to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the North Rhine Army under the city was basically over. But in the open space on both sides of the road, the blue tones of the Royal Army and the black tones of the Saxon Army were once again fighting in a melee, dotted with stripes.
A bloody battle line.
Therefore, more Saxon cavalry turned around in an instant and surrounded the companies that went out to attack with an absolute numerical advantage; they continued to fight together on the spot. But with the knights and cavalry fighting for this
To buffer, more large groups of infantry were also assembled.
Immediately afterwards, a series of howls of "oooo" sounded for a short period of time at the edge of the battlefield, and suddenly penetrated the clamor of thousands of people fighting on the battlefield. But the Saxon army who heard this sound was in a state of morale.
Under the great excitement, they all began to shrink their formations and break away from the battle.
However, the Saxon Army, which had a relatively obvious numerical advantage, and the New Kingdom Army, which had been tired after a long battle, also turned to a relatively defensive position. They formed one by one on the spot, with white soldiers holding halberds holding back, and musketeers taking turns to shoot at the inside.
The formation resisted the reciprocal attacks of the Saxon army.
The musketeers, who were arranged in short rows along the road, fired row after row of projectiles, bypassing the friendly cavalry and outflanking the Saxon warriors from both sides, knocking them down and exposing one gap after another;
It was quickly filled by others who came one after another.
"Have you not always wanted to know what the Royal Army's biggest secret is and what its potential backup is?" Then he suddenly turned his head and said to the worried Gismund: "Now, I can finally tell you.
, in fact, it comes from my personal power!"
Some other Saxon troops who have not yet entered the battle are also wandering on the edge of the long battlefield filled with corpses and densely packed soldiers, trying to find a way around the large swamps and reeds, and attacking the rear of the New Kingdom army in a roundabout way. Almost both sides
Looking for an opportunity to break the situation.
And when the battle has reached this point, it is obvious that the situation between the enemy and ourselves has reached a critical moment of reversal. And the son of the Count of Vermandois, Nisit, who has just escaped from the city, once again holds high the family's starry flag; urging
The armies of the Dutch princes turned to this side of the battlefield.
Therefore, around the swamps and mountains on both sides of the road, encounters and raids broke out one after another between groups of mountain infantry and tribal troops; but then they broke into the swamps and reeds.
The Saxons were soon driven out by the large fire.
Following closely behind, there were a number of Saxon soldiers without armor who looked like savages. On the spot, their bodies swelled up and burst their fur coats, and in a blink of an eye they turned into lycanthropes with thick manes; while they violently waved various long handles.
Weapons and heavy weapons were thrown into the royal army's phalanx.
Then during the battle, the incomplete small phalanxes moved closer to each other and gathered into a medium-sized phalanx; the medium-sized phalanxes supported each other and merged into a large hollow phalanx; the large phalanxes echoed each other to form a larger phalanx.
The fighting square; in turn divided the Saxon army.
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Tian suddenly jumped up with his stunned expression, shooting straight into the sky like a cannonball, turning into an almost invisible black dot. Then, it turned into a small black dot that fell on the Saxon army.
Behind, human bodies were flying all over the sky like explosions...
"Follow my king~" "Keep moving forward!" "WAAAAAAAGH..." However, many soldiers from the guard company and military police company present, including Athos, shouted loudly without any surprise, and followed Jiang Gao away.
The direction turned into streams of water rushing down.
And Jiang Tian, who fell from the sky and flew up on the spot, overturned and dispersed a large number of Saxon soldiers, also activated the ability of the "field" module again. In an instant, within a radius of hundreds of meters, Chengdu was once again rushing toward him.
A group of Saxon soldiers were thrown weightlessly into the sky.
"Come on, let's play. Who's afraid of who?" Jiang Tian roared loudly, while using his ability to throw away and overturn large areas of enemies, and in a blink of an eye, he was approaching the other side. Silver, who represented the Saxon general,
A few hundred meters away from Bian Lushou Banner.
