Chapter 11 The changing situation of the battle
"Sure enough, the cavalry of the Lightning Army had to endure it until now. It seems that they had calculated it was already accurate. They had to wait until our cavalry was dispatched before they could be dispatched." Burley saw the five thousand cavalry at this time and sneered: "Fortunately, I calculated it was accurate that you would use this move, otherwise, my seven thousand cavalry would be wiped out under the attack of the front and back."
Burley said to the messenger at this time: "Speed the speed to Lynch, his five thousand cavalry should be dispatched! I want him to go to the right wing to catch the enemy's cavalry immediately, so that they can't attack behind our cavalry!"
After receiving the order, the messenger immediately ran towards the left wing where Lynch was located. At this time, the battle situation on the left wing changed again.
One hundred meters! Just as the cavalry of the left side was a little surprised why they had not been attacked by bows and arrows, a rain of stone fell from the sky. More than one hundred large stones the size of pumpkin fell from the sky. More than one hundred cavalry of the left side were shot down on the spot, causing a lot of panic in the entire cavalry charge formation. Some of the comrades following behind had no time to adjust their direction and collided with the horses who fell on the ground. At such a high speed, the impact occurred. It was immediately a situation where the horse died. Simon secretly praised himself. These simple stone catapults that Lord Roger had thrown the plan were really effective. I really don't know where his wonderful ideas came from.
However, the nightmare of the left-wing cavalry was not over. After luckily avoiding the stone attacks of two rounds of catapults, the extremely fast cavalry had rushed to a place less than fifty meters away from the enemy. In a few seconds, these damn enemies would taste the taste of iron hooves. Just as all the left-wing cavalry were fantasizing like this, with a dense "swoosh" sound, overwhelming the sound of horse hooves, and a dark cloud surged from the rear of the enemy, and the left-wing cavalry rushed forward at the speed of an arrow from the string.
"It's a gun throw!" Many left-wing cavalrymen had just had this idea in their minds, and were illuminated by the oncoming spears, including the spurs. In that moment, they could not hear the screams from the left-wing cavalrymen. They only saw many people repeating the same movement, people leaned over, horses fell to the ground, and then splashed a burst of red blood.
After the baptism of three rounds of gun pitching, the seven thousand left-wing cavalry had suffered heavy casualties. Roger concentrated all the gun pitchers here, so when the frontal battle began, the heavy infantry of the Lightning Army suffered a small loss under the attack of the enemy gun pitchers.
However, these cavalry rushed to the heavy infantry formation that was waiting for the battle, causing major casualties to the soldiers of the First Division. Although the First Division arranged all spearmen and shield soldiers in the first row, the number of people was a little thin. Most of the guns and shield soldiers were facing the enemy head-on, and there were not many here. They suffered considerable losses under the trampling of the enemy's iron hooves. The many gunmen behind them did not dare to throw the guns casually when they were fighting with each other, but slowly retreated.
At this time, the Lightning Army cavalry behind the left cavalry also launched a charge. They held spears and made waves of cheers, attacking the left cavalry at a very fast speed. In their eyes, it seemed that victory was right in front of them.
"Damn it! Why haven't Lynch's cavalry intercepted the enemy's cavalry yet? Didn't he ask him to intercept the enemy's cavalry on the right wing? How did he command his cavalry to run to the left wing? He also acted like he was going to sprint? I was fainted. I asked him to attack the enemy's cavalry on our right wing, not to attack the enemy's infantry on the right side!" Burley shouted in anger.
He had already seen that the enemy's cavalry had been arranged in an orderly phalanx behind them, rushing behind them, and was raiding them from behind. The cavalry of ours had already suffered heavy casualties, and in addition to fighting with the heavy infantry in front of them, he could not take into account the enemies attacking behind them at the same time. They were all taken off by the cavalry of the Lightning Army and suffered heavy losses, and were basically not far from defeat.
"Damn it! I must ask Commander Winter to withdraw Lynch from his post and then send him to military court! He didn't obey orders in the war! He acted without authorization. He thought that if we were defeated, he could defeat more than 30,000 enemies with his five thousand cavalry?" Burley was furious at this time. He knew very well that after the seven thousand cavalry on his side, the enemy's cavalry would immediately attack his right wing or cover his own way of retreat, so that his infantry would suffer heavy losses.
It was at this time that Lynch led his five thousand cavalry to charge. He waved his long cavalry and rushed to the front of the team. The cavalry behind him followed him, and each 250 people were divided into twenty rows and launched a fierce charge... However, Burley gradually realized something was wrong. How could their target of charge be the left wing of his infantry?
Just when Burley was surprised, something that made him even more furious happened. When he was about to rush into the left wing of the infantry in the left wing of the left line army, Lynch's cavalry suddenly shot out a flag of the Lightning Army.
"Oh no! I'm fooled. They are not the right-wing army at all, but the cavalry of the Lightning Army. It is estimated that Lynch is probably a member of the Lightning Army. Parkinson is probably threatened. I wonder why his face looks so ugly when I can't talk to him!" Burley screamed in his heart.
However, he discovered it too late. Lynch had led the cavalry to rush into the flank of the infantry phalanx of the Left Route Army. Under the crushing of the iron hooves of the heavy cavalry, the flanks of the left Route Army collapsed suddenly. Most of the soldiers on the flanks were light infantry and archers. They were completely unable to withstand the assault of the heavy cavalry. After a little resistance, they were crushed by the cavalry so that they could only cry and run backwards, and suddenly rushed the infantry phalanx in the center.
The central infantry was already at a disadvantage in the face of the heavy infantry of the Lightning Army. When they were attacked by the defeated soldiers on their flanks, they were defeated in an instant. First, a small number of soldiers turned around and ran away to the rear. Not long after, more and more people fled, and finally a major defeat was finally caused.
"When the supervision team is killed, you can't let them disperse our formation!" Burley saw the soldiers in front retreat and rushed over the archers and light infantry phalanxes with originally neat formations behind him, and shouted in a hurry.
Soon, from the rear, thousands of supervising teams formed by Burley's direct guards came. They raised their swords and slashed towards the dispersed defeated soldiers!
