Chapter 349: Sixth Battalion (Part 2)

The second round of cavalry attacks had only more than one thousand people, and Phoenix could not organize too many cavalry. Side Star City was not an important town, and most of these soldiers only received simple cavalry training.

The equipment of the Sixth Battalion was obviously too much higher than that of the enemy. After the large heavy crossbow was installed, the soldiers calmly watched the enemy get closer and closer, and rushed towards the wings five hundred meters away.

The soldiers in the guardian chariot formation were in a calmer mood. The enemy's cavalry was of good quality, but if they could not attack head-on, they should only use crossbows to attack sideways, and they should send light cavalry, which was faster. These cavalry wearing heavy armor attacked with bows and arrows on both sides, which was much slower.

The power of war horses can last up to an hour after the first explosion. If the bad horses are not good in blood, they cannot even hold on for ten minutes. If the cavalry charge cannot tear open the enemy's formation, it will be considered a complete failure.

The formation of the Sixth Battalion is very complete, with a car formation on the front, a large shield on the side, and a group of envoys from the Holy Rock City behind.

The envoys from the Holy Rock City ran to the end, wanting to see the quality of the soldiers in Metathrin City. If they really didn't do it, they could use their powerful impact to regain their disadvantages. Unexpectedly, the enemy's impact did not shake the formation of the Sixth Battalion at all. The defense of the Sixth Battalion was like an iron barrel. The soldiers in the middle were neatly formed, sitting on the shelf temporarily built on the ground, ready to stand up and rush out of the shield formation at any time.

"This should be the most elite unit of Salin, right?" Duke Valde looked at the battle situation calmly and muttered to himself. There were two magicians around him. He would not take the initiative to ask, for fear that someone would refuse to answer, which would be very embarrassing.

Tiffany was obviously not that cold, and she said, "It's pretty good, it's similar to Qin Yin's main force. In terms of equipment, it's better."

Tiffany obviously said that the three hundred alchemy crossbows that could shoot five hundred meters away were such a thing, which was a contraindicated product in Qin Yin.

"It's different, master, not to mention the generals of the camp, Salin's banner leader has no respect for Viscount Piak." Duke Valde observed carefully. He was also a person who had practiced swordsmanship and had excellent eyesight.

"It's just a habit of the Fourth Dynasty. The royal family or the direct army of the royal family is above the nobles." Tiffany's great magician said casually. Because the surname Metattering did exist in the Fourth Dynasty, she didn't think much about it, and naturally regarded Salin as the remains of a royal family in the Fourth Dynasty.

"This is the most terrifying thing. Salin only needs to build the main army, and the rest of the army is supported by the nobles. The nobles dare not betray them. Salin can strengthen the army's equipment without limit. Use these elite troops to control the nobles to fight for him. It is easy to raise 100,000 soldiers in Metatlin City." Barde did not forget to remind.

"Your Majesty has his own plans, Valde, you have too much care." Tiffany replied coldly.

The cavalry of the Sixth Battalion was unstoppable and crashed into the front of the Phoenix cavalry. The gap between the weapons between the two sides was immediately reflected. At a close distance, once there was no one in front of them, the cavalry of the Sixth Battalion was immediately launched, and it was invincible within ten meters.

Except for the twenty soldiers riding skeleton war horses who used huge scimitars, the rest of the cavalry were cross guns.

When cavalry hedges, the spear is obviously more advantageous, but it is easy to be unable to pull it out by piercing the spear into the enemy's heavy armor. Once this happens to the cavalry of the Sixth Battalion, they immediately abandon the cross spear and draw out the long sword behind the saddle. Phoenix's cavalry, after throwing the spear, their weapons are heavy swords.

When swords and swords intersect, both sides are wearing heavy armor, and with the impact of the war horses, weapons fly around. Only powerful sword masters can hold weapons.

Most of the Phoenix cavalry were shot off the horse by crossbows. On average, more than two cavalrymen could fight one of the sixth battalions. Their number was smaller than that of the sixth battalion. After the violent collision, only more than 200 people in the sixth battalion were knocked off the horse. There were also some unlucky people, but most of them were injured.

However, more than 500 people were killed or injured in the Phoenix cavalry. At this moment, the remaining less than a thousand people were heavy cavalry, but the Sixth Battalion was the same.

The headed general Phoenix had to blew a sharp metal whistle and headed south with the cavalry, trying to get rid of the cavalry of the Sixth Battalion. The speed of both sides had been reduced, and even if their war horses were not as good as those of the Sixth Battalion, they could temporarily throw the cavalry of the Sixth Battalion away.

The cavalry of the Sixth Battalion did not pursue, because one thousand cavalry appeared behind, but they were people from the Royal Swordsman Camp. Tiffany gave the order and directly released two group gain magic with Stepany. Under the light of magic, these thousand cavalry shone with huge runes all over their bodies and rushed out at twice the speed of ordinary cavalry.

This group magic is not lasting. The problem is that the distance between the two sides is less than two miles, and at more than twice the speed, the cavalry of the Royal Swordsman Camp quickly approached and raised the crossbow in their hands.

This kind of crossbow fired with a machine spring is insufficient. The problem is that the crossbow arrows in the Royal Swordsman Camp are all alchemy arrows, and their sharpness can make up for everything.

Behind the shield formation, the infantry of the Sixth Battalion took the opportunity to rush out more than 500 people and dragged the injured cavalry back. That's not all, the other 500 soldiers also walked out of the shield formation, came to the injured Phoenix cavalry, drew out the triangular sword, and stabbed them in the weak point of the wounded armor.

Qin Yin's armor protects his whole body, and the heavy cavalry's armor has no gaps. However, for the flexibility of the cavalry's combat, it is inevitable that some places are weak. These weak places are made of more than two metal pieces sandwiched with monster skins, but the Triangle Sword specializes in breaking heavy armor, which is even more relaxed against wounded people who have no resistance.

Originally, only one hundred of the Phoenix cavalry died on the spot, and the remaining more than 400 were all injured and dropped. If they were robbed back, they would not die under the treatment of the magician's potion.

The Sixth Battalion will sit firmly in the central army and watch all this coldly. The enemy's infantry has approached a distance of one mile. After getting off the horse, it is about to launch an attack in its entire bunch of equipment. At this time, it is impossible for the Sixth Battalion to capture any prisoners.

During the last Qinyin invasion, the Phoenix army did not encounter this situation, and most of the wounded were treated. This time, Salin's army killed all the wounded on the spot.

When the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion did this, they did not have psychological pressure because the enemy they encountered for the first time would not be completely killed, and they would continue to fight. The Expeditionary Force of the Holy See could move a crossbow machine as long as one finger could move, and they would kill an enemy even if they died.

Barde was not surprised to defeat the Cavalry of Phoenix. In his opinion, the cavalry of the Sixth Battalion was of good quality and excellent weapons. If he could not defeat the Phoenix, there would be no need to exist.

But this neat massacre made him feel a little chilled.

If Salin's army was like this, the future war would be extremely cruel!

In the envoy group of the Holy Rock City, two thousand soldiers joined the battle, and only one thousand were left, defending Valde. The two magicians did not take action. The number of enemies was not large, so there was no need to let the magicians come forward. Moreover, on the battlefield, mages of this level basically only release auxiliary magic on the side. Unless the enemy directly attacked the magician, the magicians would not slaughter ordinary soldiers.

There is also a safety factor in this. Because of the popularity of alchemy equipment, once a magician encounters powerful weapons in the army, he may also fall under siege. In the central army, soldiers are all around to protect him, and the magician is almost the safest.

The frontal chariot array made the Phoenix very depressed. As a last resort, the approaching infantry expanded to the wings like the cavalry, and the troops were dispersed. In fact, the large and small vehicles of the Sixth Battalion could form a circle to protect all soldiers, but that would only happen when encountering enemies that cannot be fought hard.

The troops are not very different now. The frontal chariot array diverts the enemy, looking forward to close contact with the enemy.

The Phoenixes had a simple idea. They wanted to rely on heavy cavalry to disrupt the formation of the Sixth Battalion and then attack with infantry. However, their cavalry was defeated, and if these infantry wanted to win, they were completely head-on and had no tactics at all.

The Sixth Battalion will not expect any tactics. The terrain here is flat and there is no terrain to exploit. The enemy is also well prepared, and all conspiracies are not as good as a head-on confrontation.

When Rex trained these soldiers, he did not teach people any advanced swordsmanship, but focused on discipline. The officers did not understand at that time, and now everyone is very grateful for this.

The command of the Sixth Battalion has no flaws, because the soldiers are trained in cruel discipline and are instinctive reactions to many things.

Officers at the level of the flag regiment only need to issue simple orders, and the entire army will be coordinated. No matter how nervous the soldiers are, they will execute perfectly. On such a battlefield, their personal abilities are reduced and their collective strength is expanded.

"go ahead!"

Suddenly, with the fierce drumbeat, a flag regiment's infantry crossed the shield formation and rushed up to the second round of attacking cavalry from the flank. The thousand cavalry did not divide the troops, but tried to disrupt the Royal Swordsman Battalion's pursuit of the retreating cavalry in the south. No one expected that the infantry of this flag regiment would attack the cavalry at a distance of two hundred meters.

Magic light flashed on the legs of a thousand heavy armored infantry. The infantry of this flag regiment rushed out at high speed. The distance of two hundred meters was originally very far to the infantry, but under the influence of magical equipment, these heavy armored infantry instantly burst out with a terrifying impact.

The distance they can run is only five hundred meters, but it is enough. A flag regiment, one thousand people, is divided into five brigades, each with two hundred people, and the infantry in the front row are all strongmen holding axes and halberds.

The heavy and sharp axe destroyed the hope of the Phoenix cavalry from the flanks. Their cavalry's lances were cut off by heavy armored infantry before they could abandon their spears.

Everyone knows that if a cavalry encounters heavy infantry, they must be careful. It is best to rely on speed advantage to attack. But who would have thought that the heavy infantry of the Sixth Battalion launched an attack on the enemy with the posture of a cavalry. The cavalry's counterattack was a little weak and was attacked from the flanks. The long sword drawn by the cavalry slashed on the armor of the heavy infantry. Without the advantage of speed, they could not break the armor at all.

The second infantry flag regiment rushed out, but the infantry in this flag regiment was no longer heavily armored and could not keep up with the speed. They chose the enemy's wounded and stabbed the wounded on the ground with the short gun in their hands.
