Chapter 521 Golden Eagle(1/2)
The golden eagle flew across the sky, its sharp eyes silently staring at the wilderness ahead.
"Kill!" A sound surged into the sky, making the golden eagle feel a little uneasy.
In its sharp gaze, countless humans were striking the ground with their spears and roaring in unison.
After roaring, they all raised their spears forward.
The butt of the gun rested on the ground, and the head of the gun pointed diagonally forward.
Rows of sword and shield soldiers came out from both wings and stood at the front.
The large shield was also placed on the ground, and the sword was held diagonally in front of the forehead, making a chopping motion.
The smoke caused by the cavalry gradually filled the city.
The more than a hundred riders at the front were all wearing iron armor and looked extremely fierce.
Hundreds of horsemen followed, all wearing heavy armor but not the horses.
Then came more than a thousand riders, also holding spears and halberds, shouting and shouting.
Can't see clearly from the back, most of them are light cavalry.
Overall, these three to four thousand cavalry formed an awl and rushed straight towards the infantry who were shouting to kill.
Behind the cavalry, infantry figures loomed in the smoke.
Slowly, the figures of the infantry became clearer and clearer, becoming more and more spectacular.
The phalanx formed in unison, showing an overwhelming force, came out from under the towering city wall, and pressed forward with shouts.
On both sides of the infantry, there seemed to be more cavalry mounted, ready to launch a fatal blow.
The golden eagle chirped uneasily, and caught a person with its sharp eyes.
He was wearing a red robe, with a hint of gold underneath.
Standing on the high platform, he waved his hand, and soon people were waving flags and starting to pass orders.
"Woo——" The desolate horn sounded, seeming to be calling the ancient god of death.
In the large formation on the south side, most of the sergeants who heard the sound of the trumpet put down their spears, took out their rifle bows from their waists, and picked up the bows and arrows.
"Woo——" the trumpet sound sounded for the second time.
"Buzz -" dense arrows flew over the heads of the spearmen and shieldmen in the front rows, and fell into the charging cavalry.
The golden eagle also seemed fascinated by the scene.
It hovered and glided in the air, watching the killings between humans with interest.
Dense arrows fell like locusts.
Armored cavalry and heavy cavalry waved their lances and halberds to deflect arrows.
The light cavalry behind followed suit and tried their best to resist this round of long-range attacks.
In the smoke and dust, people kept falling off their horses, and the following cavalry passed them and continued to charge.
There seemed to be powerful crossbow bolts flying across the ground.
They were located in the gaps on both sides of the infantry square, firing one after another, causing the cavalry in the smoke to suffer greater suffering.
More people fell off their horses.
The golden eagle was a little confused. This seemed to be different from the wars it had seen before.
Why not let the infantry charge first to shake the opponent's position, and then throw in the light and heavy cavalry to make the final decision?
No one can answer it. He is just a flat-haired beast and cannot think of such a profound question.
The cavalry is still charging.
After shooting two arrows, the infantrymen returned their bows to their waists and picked up their spears again.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer.
The cry of eagles sounded in the sky, and the infantry and cavalry had already collided into a ball.
The powerful armored cavalry knocked away the first row of sword and shield soldiers and rushed into the neatly arranged jungle of spears.
The spearmen stumbled and lost their footing.
The officer shouted at the top of his lungs and took the lead, swinging a heavy long Ke ax and hitting the armored cavalry on horseback.
Several infantrymen held hooks and sickles and struggled to hook the four horses' legs to prevent them from driving.
But the horse was very fast, and the impact was so shocking that it actually missed at first and only hooked the horse's hind legs.
In fact, it's enough.
The iron horse fell to the ground with a crash, overwhelming several infantrymen.
No one was afraid, no one ran away. The fallen Jia Qi couldn't get up and could only look at the wooden raft in despair. The long-handled ax hit his body and he vomited blood.
Some even abandoned their spears, took out their daggers, inserted them through the gaps in the armored cavalry's bodies, and killed them with a single slash.
The second and third armored cavalry came one after another, breaking the spears and driving away the infantry.
The officer had fallen to the ground, his chest collapsed, and he was taking in less air and outgoing more air. The soldiers had no one to direct them, but there was no chaos. Their faces were full of ferocious fighting spirit, and the sound of killing never stopped. They used hooks, sickles, spears, and long-handled axes.
Long spears and ring-shou swords never cease to greet the enemy.
Soon, the second and third armored cavalry fell off their horses and were easily killed.
Then came fourth place, fifth place...
Looking down from the sky, the large formation facing the cavalry charge only sank slightly at the beginning and was a little chaotic. Then it slowly extended outwards. After killing more than twenty armored cavalry, they had almost leveled the line.
.
The front of the formation was filled with corpses of men and horses, not only armored cavalry, but also a larger number of light and heavy cavalry - of course, there were also many corpses of infantry.
These obviously formed an obstacle, making subsequent cavalry charges impossible.
The cavalrymen lingered in front of the formation, hesitating.
"Buzz——" A new wave of arrows flew in, causing a lot of damage again.
The cavalry couldn't bear the casualties, so they turned their horses' heads and retreated in confusion.
Neat footsteps sounded from behind.
In the gaps on both sides of the infantry formation, teams of sword and shield bearers and spearmen lined up to make up for the battle damage gaps.
The array is back as before!
The golden-armored general on the high platform made another move.
He drew out his saber and pointed forward, not knowing what he said.
The messenger rushed down from the high platform and rode away.
Flag bearer waving flag.
After a while, dozens of drums started beating one after another.
The infantry formation that had just blocked the cavalry attack roared in unison, then moved forward with their spears in hand.
The golden eagle lowered its height slightly and watched attentively. Only about four large formations, front, rear, left and right, were moving forward.
Their steps were neat and tidy, neither fast nor slow, but they had an indomitable momentum.
As they advanced, the horn sounded.
The infantry formation stalled for a while.
Countless people in the back row put down their spears, drew their bows, and fired a volley forward.
Dense arrows shot through the air and landed among the cavalry who failed to retreat in time, causing tragic casualties.
After the ejaculation was over, the drumming started again.
The infantrymen picked up the spears at their feet and continued to move forward.
Many people rushed out of the gap on both sides of the formation.
There was almost no formation, and they were walking with extremely arrogant steps. Some held shields, some held knives, some held guns, some drew bows, some held swords high, and some even held crossbows.
They seemed to have infinite strength. Even though they were wearing iron armor, they still walked as fast as they could, roaring and charging forward.
One of the cavalrymen fell to the ground groaning, and they killed him with a sword.
A cavalryman fell off his horse and was limping on the ground. They chased after him, grabbed his hair, and slashed it with a knife, causing brilliant blood flowers to bloom.
They were getting closer and closer to the enemy's infantry formation, so close that large arrows were fired from the opposite side.
The big shield looks like it has white hair, and it is spectacular.
Someone was shot and fell to the ground, screaming in agony.
Someone's body was full of arrows, but he still gritted his teeth and charged forward. When he got close, he fired his crossbow straight away.
Dozens of people bravely rushed to the infantry formation on the opposite side, using all kinds of weapons to fight bravely.
