Chapter 50 The Battle of Naples Part 5, Whose Cavalry?

At this point, the war was developed little by little in a direction that was beneficial to Egil. Sure enough, is it the kingly way to use elite heavy infantry to defeat the weak? No, it is not that simple. When seeing the barbarian mercenaries on his side, they suffered heavy losses when they were fighting against the main enemy army. Narcis snorted coldly, and then used his own special stunts. The barbarian commander mastered for a moment, and all the subordinates of the barbarian army rose in total. In an instant, he tied the balance of the battle back to the middle!

"It's really damn." Seeing the battle situation in a stalemate again, Egil couldn't help but snorted lightly, and then asked without looking back: "Have the heavy cavalry rested?" A guard knight immediately ran down the Liaowang Tower and ran back after a while: "If your majesty orders, the knights are willing to charge again. Of course, my subordinates observed that the knights' physical strength has not yet fully recovered. Of course, the light cavalry's physical strength has almost recovered. You can go to the battlefield at any time." "Well, then wait for a while." Egil was observing the battlefield from beginning to end.

At the same time, the commander of the Dongluo taming commander Narcis was also asking: "Laners, can the lancers go to the battlefield again?" However, the answer he received was very disappointing: "I'm afraid not, the generals and lancers were exhausted in the previous battles. I'm afraid it would take a few more seconds to form combat effectiveness again.

When... it's... "

"What?" Narcis asked.

"Those barbarian cavalry responded very quickly because they were not wearing armor. If the general wanted..."

"How can I give such honor to a group of barbarians?! Are you crazy?!" Narcis roared: "Let the group of lancers listen! Half a small

When, half an hour later, I asked them to finish their rest and return to the battlefield. Whoever doesn't want to hang them on treason! Did you hear that?!"

The messenger was frightened by Nalcis' twisted face and then ran away like a life-long run.

At this time, on the wings of Egil, the King of France and the Duke of Burgundy seemed to want to continue the stalemate. So, both sides successively used their own stunts, killing charges and French fox hunting. The Swiss gun formation attacked like a tide, and the French army stabilized the front.

The situation further develops in a direction that is beneficial to the coalition forces.

"Order, rub the cavalry, and the Finnish light cavalry attack the neglect..." At this moment, Egil, who was scanning the monoculars, finally discovered a clear flaw in the opponent. In the previous battle, the Valangi people shrank their formation, and made a gap between a Germanic legion and another Roman legion.

As time goes by, the Roman Legion and the German Legion lose troops due to combat and to further maintain their formation, this gap becomes larger and larger. This is what Egil wants to see most, the so-called flaws.

So, a total of 500 professional cavalrymen and 500 Finnish light cavalrymen launched a series of charges into the gap and charged fiercely. Although the impact of the light cavalry is much smaller than that of the heavy cavalry, the professional cavalry and the Finnish light cavalry are both barbarians who dare to play hard. The light cavalry who are fully engaged in the formation of the formation is still very considerable. After the bo-stage charge method has several consecutive impacts, the gap has been further expanded. At the same time, the two professional Viking soldiers of Egil's 1,000 teams also cut in along the gap, intending to further divide and surround the enemy.

Under such circumstances, the Eastern Roman soldiers in this battlefield were shaken and began to lose morale under the impact of light cavalry and formation damage.

"Damn it, hurry up and block the gap!" Narcis soon discovered this flaw in his side and immediately sent an order that the first battalion of the 19th Legion (first formation) under his command, a total of 2,500 heavy infantry soldiers, and the third battalion of the 18th Legion (third formation) of the legion that was under attack, were also 2,500 heavy infantry and a total of 5,000 troops to block the gap.

"Transfer two more thousand-man teams over. Also, let the longbowmen gather and attack that place." Seeing that his army was about to make contributions, Egil filled in a ticket with heavy infantry on the other side to stop his attack. He made a quick decision and sent two more thousand-man team soldiers. He ordered the longbowmen to focus on attacking the area.

"What and what?! This wind direction and this climate, don't issue such an almost impossible order, okay?" Robin Hood, who was the commander of the longbow, almost fainted after hearing the order, and just wanted to run to Egil and complain loudly.

Of course, he just dared to think about it in his heart. He didn't dare to really do it with his courage.

On the front line, at the gap, the reserves of both sides launched a fierce battle because they ran too fast and could not maintain their previous formation. When they approached the front, Lou arrived at the Normans with a flying axe attack, so the Eastern Roman heavy infantry fell into a tough battle at the beginning.

At the same time, on the left wing of Egil, the 1st Battalion of the 18th Legion of the Eastern Romans collapsed due to continuous attacks and violent attacks by the Swiss. In addition, their third battalion turned to the gap to fill the front, so the 18th Legion was only left with the second battalion, and only 2,500 heavy infantrymen were fighting! In this way, as long as the Burgundians could break this square formation, they could completely break the Eastern Romans' front!

"Attack! Soldiers, attack! The first contribution of this jihad is ours!!" Charles Duke of Burgundy shouted excitedly: "Just break another array of the opponent, we can win! Soldiers! Attack! Think about how rich the Greeks are.

Defeat them, rob them, and you all can become rich!"

With such encouragement from Duke Charles, the Swiss people were very angry and the offensive became fierce again. The spear was like a forest and the gun formation was like a mountain. The heavy infantry of the Second Battalion instantly fell into a tough battle.

"The 19th Legion, the Second Brigade is coming to help." Seeing that the situation has not improved, but has developed in a worse direction, Narcis had to put another brigade's reserve team in. With this calculation, he only had to put the third brigade of the 19th Legion, but only a reserve team of 2,500 people. Even if the other legions can draw some troops, they will only demolish the east wall and repair the west wall. The final result will inevitably be like the 18th Legion.

Because too many troops were drawn, the front line was weak, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Damn" Narcis almost shattered his teeth: "Lancers, where are the lancers?! If they can't go to the battlefield, it's all! But before that, I will definitely cut them all first!" In the end, under Narcis' strict order, a total of more than 1,500 Eastern Roman lancers reorganized their formation and divided them into three parts according to Narcis' order. Some of them charged towards the middle gap, some bypassed the main battlefield, and launched a charge towards the Bologna and Venetian troops on the edge of the right wing, and some rushed towards the right wing of the coalition forces, the French army.

Although the Eastern Roman Lancers had not actually had a complete rest in terms of physical strength. These noble children who were angry at Nalcis were usually pampered and had poor physical strength. They could get hung up after 20 minutes of stealing love and having sex.

Generally, after going to the battlefield, I only fought for a little while, and after a charge, I could go back to the camp to sleep.

The commanders of each legion were very helpless about this matter. However, they did not want to offend other noble children too much. So they just turned a blind eye.

But at this moment, Nalcis was furious and didn't care about so much. Under the butcher knife of the supervising team, the second-generation rich second-generation officers and second-generation soldiers dared not speak out, so they had to get on the horse again, and muttered in a low voice: "Be careful when walking at night, don't let the old man meet you, otherwise you will explode your anus or something and rush towards the battlefield.

"Oh?!" Seeing that the opponent's heavy cavalry had completed the renovation one step ahead of his side, Egil was a little surprised. So although he had no choice but to let the heavy cavalry and the knights return to the battlefield.

However, it was still one step late.

The Bologna and Venetian armies, which had Italian heavy cavalry, barely resisted the charge of the Dongdoma Lancers. In the gap area where the focus of both sides was the infantry on both sides, there was no room for cavalry to charge at all. The Eastern Roman Lancers bubbling there a little, and then quietly lost to the chaos.

The key is the French army.

The French army was not as powerful as in terms of quantity, equipment, or training. In Egil's eyes, the six thousand heavy spearmen under the Amidine Power Society were just barely qualified soldiers and were not considered elite. The previous draw in the battle with Eastern Rome was thanks to the French fox hunting skill of King Philip II of France. The attack frequency, movement speed and morale of French soldiers increased. Only then could they be at the same level as their opponents.
