EP.120
“Crossbowmen and wizards shoot at the enemy knights at the same time!”
“Fire at least one more shot at their horses! “Let’s turn it into a hedgehog!”
“Deus, protect us!”
While shouting like that, countless arrows and magic shot flew diagonally toward the sky and landed where the enemy knights were.
80-90% of the over 10,000 arrows were blocked by the barded armor worn by the horses and bounced off.
Among them, several arrows pierced the bodies of horses and people, and some of the horses fell or fell because they could not bear the pain.
When one horse rolled on the ground, in the aftermath, the feet of a couple of knights were briefly tied or they fell together, increasing the damage.
“Good. “Let’s kill them all like this!”
“Let’s have a little more strength! “The ground dogs behind you will take care of the rest anyway!”
“Shoot one more shot! Kill more!”
As attacks using magic and arrows continued, the number of knights, which had been over 10,000, gradually decreased.
This thought occurred to me as I watched the size and speed of the formation slowly decreasing.
As long as we keep reducing their momentum like this, the infantry alone will be enough to block their assault several times.
“They are bastards who excommunicated our innocent Francois Republic and called us heretics!”
“No prisoners except for the sweetest babies! “Kill them all!”
“Monjois-Saint-Denis! Long live the great Francois Republic!”
The distance between the enemy’s 10,000 knights and us had suddenly decreased to about 100 meters. When it was predicted that a collision would occur in about 50 seconds,
“All guns fire!” “Aim directly and shoot in a straight line!”
“Completely destroy the vanguard and we run away!”
“Shoot the arrow and run quickly! “Jump so hard you can’t see your feet!”
After hearing that, I ran at full speed to where the 12th Brigade was about 20 meters away and returned.
At the same time, numerous arrows flew from the crossbows and hit the knights running from the vanguard of the enemies.
Their warhorses were hit by arrows and magic and rolled on the ground, and those who fell from there either had their necks or spines broken and died instantly.
He shouted to his colleagues in a loud voice for help.
“Stop you crazy bastards! Stop! Are you planning to step on our allies too?”
“Bow! Bow down if you want to live!”
“Change course! No, I’m telling you to avoid it!”
However, it seems that the knights, including the enemy commander, the Duke of Blois, are not just idiots.
It seems like he knows that if he changes his route or slows down to save a few allies, more allies will be sacrificed.
People who seemed to be relatively high spoke while pointing their lances at the Reich Imperial Army.
“Saint Denis will watch your death! Die for the cause!”
“Long live François! Long live the great Francois Republic! Long live the warriors who sacrifice themselves for Francois!”
“I, the Count of Savoy, will not forget your fierce sacrifice!”
It seems like they are trying to completely crush the fallen knights who are crying out for help.
A terrible scene unfolded, but that doesn’t mean we can’t just sit back and watch.
“All of the 12th Brigade! Plant the spear pole in the ground and put all your strength into the hand holding the pole to prepare for the enemy’s charge! Then, after receiving the charge, we change our formation diagonally to the right and stab their flanks.”
In Hattin Forest, when deploying infantry in the center of the left and right wings, there was enough space to fire arrows directly into the knights’ flanks.
Currently, this battlefield is crowded with other brigades and divisions besides our brigade, so there is no space to deploy soldiers capable of long-distance attacks right next to the infantry.
Therefore, as a last resort, it would be best for other units, including us, to meet the enemy’s charge in the center and for us, who are stationed on the left wing of the infantry formation, to turn our formation diagonally and target the flank when we have time.
Also, as if to prove that my thoughts were correct, I received instructions to raise the flag with the sound of a trumpet to meet the charge, and for the left wing to which I belonged to attack the enemy’s right.
Then, in the center to our left, we heard the enemy’s shouts and a sound that sounded like two armies clashing.
Enemy knights were running towards us, showing off their silver-shining armor and lances.
“Tread and kill the damn Reich scum who treat the Pope like their own dog!”
“Kill every single one like this! Step on it to make meat paste and stab it with a lance to make it into skewers!”
“Long live the François Republic! Long live the great republic!”
As I looked at them holding lances and approaching us in front, I realized that no matter how many times I had blocked them and achieved victory.
Perhaps due to a deep-hidden survival instinct, my nervous heart was pounding as if it was going to explode.
But isn’t a true man the one who smiles and endures instead of worrying when danger comes?
“I’ll send you to the side of those bastards who fell behind us in Hattin Forest! “All you dismissed bastards, huddle together, hold hands, and play in hell!”
Next, just before the collision, the noncommissioned officers and officers shouted loudly.
“Prepare for shock!”
“Don’t close your eyes and look straight ahead!”
“If you pierce a horse with a spear, you must pull it out immediately!”
And a few seconds later, with a loud bang, the enemy knights collided with the infantry under my command. Perhaps it was because the soldiers in the first line of our brigade had fought knights many times before.
By ducking as much as possible before colliding with the enemy knight and reducing the attack range, he was able to successfully drive the pike into the horse’s neck or chest without being stabbed by the lance.
The horses of François’ knights either ran wild with hot blood pouring out or died instantly.
In addition, a considerable number of the knights riding on it were killed when they were directly stabbed by long spears or fell due to rampaging horses.
In fact, it can be said that our brigade fought very well in this conflict.
However, just as if a gold coin falls on the ground, it becomes yours only if you pick it up and put it in your wallet.
Because it is only meaningful to end the lives of the knights who were left half-defenseless because their charge was blocked.
“Deus protected us! “Kill those heretic knights!”
“You don’t need the spear to deal with knights, so put it down for now. “Hold your mace and dagger!”
“The bastard with the stick breaks the earthen pot in front, and the guy with the mace hits it hard! And then the bastard with the dagger stabs your throat!”
We quickly dug into the gap before they stopped and recovered from the confusion caused by the failed charge.
Then, in a team of three, a soldier holding a sword hits the enemy knight’s head, causing him to lose consciousness.
A tactic in which a soldier holding a mace digs in quickly and strikes the helmet, and when the knight stumbles after being hit several times on the head, he takes advantage of that moment to stab the gap in the armor.
Without formalities and group training, this connection would have been possible only at the level of a senior soldier, corporal or higher…

“You crazy people, why are you cutting people’s heads?”
“My my arm!! “My arm!”
“Bring out your sword and fight! “I have to use a knife because the knife is the longest.”
Excluding spear training, this level of movement was not that difficult for the army of the empire, who had thoroughly learned how to fight in this way and the correct movements for it.
“One vacation pass for each of you! “One vacation pass!”
“The priest said that for every heretic you kill, there will be a great reward in heaven! So we have to kill these bastards!”
“Kill one more guy before I come to my senses!” “I will definitely come again.”
In this way, we pounded as hard as we could on the side of the enemy’s left wing, killing the knights one by one. When we looked around, we saw that other units were fighting like this as well.
As close combat continued for about 5 minutes, the Duke of Valois probably thought that he could not destroy our infantry with this charge.
“Prepare for the second assault! Prepare for the second assault! “Knights, retreat!”
“I’m going to plan for the next time! “Let’s prepare for the next battle!”
“I will dedicate victory in the next assault to the great Saint Denis!”
Then the knights of the Francois Republic turned their horses and tried to run away as much as possible.
Without missing this moment, our crossbowmen and wizards attacked them and did their best to kill even one more person.
In addition, Captain Patton probably decided that at this point the enemy knights would no longer be able to care about them.
His 6,000 imperial knights turned to the left and marched out to flank Francois’s infantry.
“f*ck, now all our infantry has to do is hold out against the charging knights and pray that we can win.”
It’s easy to say, but actually doing it can be very difficult.
