Chapter 62 The Battle of Ellen Ferry 7
While Su Cheng and others discovered something strange, Nicholas, who was in the 7th Army, also sensed something strange.
Nicholas, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, immediately noticed what sound it was.
This is the movement that only happens when thousands of horses gallop!
Nicholas hurriedly turned his head and looked to the left of the square.
The junction of heaven and earth on the left side of the square formation is constantly rising, yellow sand is dyeing half of the sky into dark yellow.
A black thin line gradually appeared at the junction of heaven and earth, and this black thin line was gradually getting bigger.
As the black thin lines grew bigger, Nicholas felt that the small stones around him were vibrating even more violently, and the sound gradually became bigger.
Soon, the thin black line revealed its appearance.
It is a cavalry army! To be precise, it is a cavalry army running towards them!
Nicholas's mind was washed away by a wave of "shock".
However, Nicholas was still a knight with a long battle experience. He immediately reacted, bit his tongue hard, and with the help of the strong pain, he forced the wave called "shock" back, and his brain became active again.
Although I still don't understand how Allen sent a surprise soldier to the left of his army, it is obviously not the time to think about how Allen did it.
"The whole army turns left!!" Nicholas shouted loudly, "Let the gun array!"
Although Nicholas' reaction was quite fast, the scene that Nicholas didn't want to see was still the soldiers from various phalanxes began to panic!
However, this is also human nature.
In a place that could not be imagined, a cavalry army with almost thousands of people suddenly appeared and rushed towards you.
No matter how elite the troops are, they will be more or less panic at this time.
Moreover, this cavalry army was extremely fast! It was clearly at the intersection of heaven and earth just now, but it had already rushed to hundreds of steps from the Britannian Empire Army!
Nicholas saw that this cavalry army was rushing straight towards the 7th Army where he was now!
However, time is too urgent! The 7th Army has not yet formed a formation!
Nicholas understood very well why this cavalry army rushed towards the 7th Army because the flag was in the 7th Army!
It seems that they are going to engage in a beheading battle! Nicholas thought this with resentment in his heart.
After this cavalry army approached, Nicholas, who was standing on the high platform, finally saw clearly the leader of the cavalry brigade.
It's "Cylinder" Allen Jones!
Allen was holding his big axe gun and sitting on a majestic war horse. His majestic and murderous look made many soldiers feel scared by this when they saw it.
The thousands of cavalry behind Alan can be seen from the actions of the soldiers, the expressions of the soldiers, the majesty of the horses, etc., that these thousands of cavalry are definitely the elite among the elite.
In the small country of the Carolingian Kingdom, it is absolutely impossible for such an elite cavalry unit.
Then, the identities of these thousands of cavalry were about to emerge.
It was the iron armored paladin of the Frank Empire!
Nicholas' eyes were so bloody that he could only watch Allen lead 4,000 armored paladins, constantly approaching the 7th Army, which had not yet been fully formed.
Not only Nicholas' eyes were so angry that they were still furious, Enli, as the commander of the 7th Army, was in the same situation as Nicholas at this time.
Neither of them could do anything, and could only helplessly watch Allen leading 4,000 armored paladins to keep approaching the 7th Army, which had not yet been fully formed.
Finally, Allen and 4,000 armored paladins collided with the 7th Army formation!
The sound of the collision of the armor leaves, the sound of the body collision, the sound of the sharp weapon entering the body, and the blood-colored flowers blooming in response.
Alan waved the axe and gun in his hand and slashed a soldier from the Britannian Empire Army. Then he exerted his arm and lifted the soldier high, then exerted force suddenly, threw the soldier out and threw him into the crowd of the Britannian Empire Army.
With Allen as the tip of the sword and 4,000 armored paladins as the sword body, the sword torn apart the 7th military formation of a total of 20,000 people!
Allen took the lead, swinging the axe and gun in his hand, stabbing, picking, chopping, and chopping. No one could stop him wherever he passed. The axe and gun were thrown around. Wherever the axe and gun passed, a large number of soldiers from the 7th Army fell.
This time, Er, who was sent to assist the Caroling Kingdom with Allen this time, was an old subordinate who had been with Allen for many years, and there was a deep understanding between the two.
Er held a spear in his hand, like Alan's shadow, and firmly guarded Alan. Anyone who saw someone trying to attack and sneak attack Alan directly threw the tip of the gun over.
While Er protects Allen closely, he also pays attention to his own steps to interfere with Allen's movements. The two have worked together for many years and have developed a deep understanding, so the two complement each other in cooperation.
It is precisely because of Er's personal protection that Allen was able to relax and swing the axe and gun in his hand open and close.
While letting go of his hands and feet and fighting passionately, Allen did not forget what the biggest target of this sneak attack was.
Alan seized the commander's flag standing in the center of the 7th Army and drove the horses to fight to the commander's flag. The 4,000 iron armored paladins behind Alan also followed quickly.
If infantrymen have no help from archers, if they want to fight against cavalry, the only way is to form dense gun arrays. As long as they form dense gun arrays, no matter how many cavalry comes, it will be given in vain.
But if we don't form a dense gun array, then only hundreds of cavalrymen can easily defeat several times or even dozens of times their enemies
The 7th Army did not have time to form a gun formation, so it was easily broken through by Allen.
While Allen led the armored paladin to rush to the commander's flag, the 7th Army's phalanx gradually became chaotic.
Many people retreated, trying to avoid the cavalry that was charging fiercely.
Many people also advanced, wanting to fight against the cavalry that was charging fiercely.
The people who are moving forward and the people who are retreating are getting together and are crowded together. Those who want to move forward cannot move forward, and those who want to move back cannot move back.
The entire square formation was completely in chaos, the formation was a ball of mud, and various sounds were intertwined. Many people wanted to hear the officer's command, but it was useless. The messy shouts and wails completely overshadowed the officer's voice. The officers could not command the soldiers below, and the soldiers could not hear the officer's command, and the square formation became more and more chaotic.
Many people were even pushed to the ground and then trampled into meat pies by the chaotic quartet crowd!
...
Nicholas gritted his teeth, and the huge force seemed to want to bite all the teeth in his mouth.
Nicholas now knew very well that the 7th Army had collapsed! It could not be saved!
And now I should have retreated with the handsome flag! Otherwise, Alan and the others will attack here later.
Nicholas turned around and was about to turn over the horse. When he led his personal soldiers and servants around him to leave the place with his flag, he suddenly felt a strong warning subconsciously!
This is a perception of danger developed through decades of struggling on the battlefield!
Nicholas subconsciously pulled out the knight sword on his left waist that had accompanied him for decades, and then quickly turned around with his left foot as the axis. While turning around, he lifted the knight sword in his hand up.
As soon as Nicholas's body turned around, the knight's sword in his hand reached the highest point, he felt a huge force coming from his right hand holding the sword! This huge force made Nicholas' right hand hurt, causing Nicholas to let out a painful hum.
Nicholas looked up and found that a man and a horse were standing in front of him. The axe and gun that had struck his head was just now blocked by his knight's sword.
"So, the commander-in-chief of the Britannian Empire this time is really you, Nicholas. It's been a long time since you've seen you. You are the deputy commander of the Gabriel Knights of the Britannian Empire. Why did you fall into the trap I set so easily?"
Listening to these sarcastic words, Nicholas stared fiercely at the middle-aged man standing in front of him with his angry eyes, and squeezed out words from his teeth:
"Allen!!"
Chapter completed!
