Chapter 153: The melee begins

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the upper valley, and a red, yellow and silver steel torrent slowly moved forward in the dense forest, compared to the Warsaw Guards who appeared on the side of the mountain city where the Mars Empire general Andrew was, the knights at the forefront of the steel torrent had the temperament of those Warsaw Guards, and compared to the Warsaw Guards who only wore a layer of heavy chain mail or heavy iron armor, the knights at the front of the team in front of them were dozens of times better equipped than those Warsaw Guards.

First of all, a shockproof steel inlay armor was wrapped in the inside of the body, and then a heavy and light plate armor was put on, and an extra layer of steel was specially wrapped in various movable joints and important parts, such as shoulders, knees, elbows, etc., and even the hands of these knights were equipped with a pair of inlaid leather gloves for anti-slip, making it easier for the knights to hold the rifle and reins in their hands.

In the middle and rear of the team, there is a group of light cavalry wearing full-body chain armor, holding round shields and kite-shaped shields, some of these light cavalry even do not even have cavalry spears, but they are equipped with a steel spear that can reduce the main force brought by the air when galloping better than the cavalry spear, this steel spear is the same type as the steel spear used by the Papal Guard, both are made of steel, the only difference is that this steel spear will be much longer than the steel spear equipped by the Papal Guard. And if you are careful, you will find that behind these cavalrymen equipped with steel spears, there are generally 3 or 4 small javelins tied to the waist of the horse, or behind them they carry a steel crossbow that is slightly smaller than the volume of different pulley crossbows, and these troops are the units of the Hobila Ranger in the Central Plains of the Imperial Army of the Sun Never Sets, which were named "support cavalry".

Compared with the Hobila Ranger equipped in Sun Lin's army before, these "support cavalry" after system improvement not only retain the characteristics of light cavalry's fast movement and good endurance, but also compared with the previous Hobila Ranger, the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities of these support cavalry have been greatly improved. Equipped with ranged weapons, these new cavalry can take out enemy Scouts without being detected, and they can also play kite flying when confronting enemy Scout Troopers.

However, these new cavalry still have shortcomings, for example, the crossbows equipped by these new cavalry are not the cavalry crossbows that appeared in the middle and late Middle Ages, but the slightly improved pulley crossbows made by the Sun Lin Munitions Factory, so the accuracy of the small pulley crossbows equipped by these support cavalry is really not enough; For example, these support cavalry are not skilled enough, and they are only equipped with brown horses with good speed and endurance, so the support cavalry cannot form a circular firing formation like ordinary archers, and these support cavalry are equipped with steel spears, so it is impossible for them to form a dense charging array like the Italian cavalry militia, or the knight squires in this team who are equipped with half-body steel armor and light chain mail, and attack the enemy array like heavy cavalry, but this is also impossible. Because from the beginning of the birth of the support cavalry, their task was to reconnoitre, counter-reconnoitre, or to protect the flanks of the heavy cavalry when it charged, and if necessary, to use their bodies to fend off some light cavalry and archers, who wanted to make a disturbance from the flanks. Of course, no matter what, Sun Lin was still very satisfied with this new type of cavalry, and even the professional cavalry general, the commander of the cavalry torrent in front of him, Bobby, also praised this new type of cavalry.

"Report! Your Excellency, General, our army is already approaching the territory of the Warsaw Alliance! This is a message from the forward reconnaissance unit, and I would like to ask Your Excellency General to take a look at it. After handing over the information in his hand to General Bobby, who was dressed in fine plate armor in front of him, the support cavalryman who had galloped back from the front immediately turned his horse and galloped back, knowing that only if he returned could the next information be transmitted from the hands of another herald in his reconnaissance unit.

Looking at the message sent back by the supporting cavalry, Bobby's serious face had a smile on his face, because the information in his hand showed that after a while, when the two surrounding mountains disappeared, it meant that the sharp knife that pierced the Warsaw Alliance had touched its heart, and the task given by Sun Lin had been half completed.

On July 5th, Sun Lin gave Bobby the day he had to declare war on the Warsaw Alliance, and it was also the day when the sun never set on the combat ability of the heavy cavalry to be officially displayed in front of the people of the Northwest Continent. Before this, although the feudal knights had sabotaged in the Lancester Empire, and they had also participated in the night attack on the Mishar Empire, but in the original Lancester Empire, the feudal knights carried out the combat policy of harassment and fortification, so generally not many people have seen the appearance of the feudal knights when they fight, and even if there were, those Lansters only regarded those people as insane madmen, and the night attack on the Michael military camp was not to mention, and it was messed up everywhere that night, What all the Mishaal soldiers saw in their eyes was a torrent of steel, all in this kind of erroneous situation, although these feudal knights had been fighting in the Northwest Continent for nearly 1 year, but the people of the Northwest Continent generally believed that the heavy cavalry on the Northwest Continent was only the Warsaw Guards of the Warsaw Alliance, which made Bobby, the boss of all the heavy cavalry and heavy cavalry of the Sun Never Set Empire, angry enough, and also made Bobby in front of the knights in the square in Fort Biliga before this expedition, in front of them, It must be made that after this battle, everyone in the Northwest Continent will be scared after hearing similar words such as "The Sun Never Sets Imperial Heavy Cavalry".

And it turned out that Bobby did it, but this time he was still marching in the upper valley with 30,000 cavalry in the direction of the main city of the Warsaw Alliance, and he did not know the way, after he came out of the valley, he would have a bloody battle, and all future historians of the empire believed that the great battle that made the Warsaw Alliance begin to go down the line was waiting for him to join, of course, before this battle, a battle that would determine the future of the Michael Empire had been fought today at Magaburg.

In this war, both sides invested 100,000 troops, and this was also the first time that the army of the sun never set had a field battle with the Michar army, on one side was the Emperor Michar with 150,000 troops, and; On the other side was the 110,000-strong Andelt, the new favorite of the Imperial Army, a general sent by Sun Lin to deal with the Mishals...............
