Cres IV arranged the Cecilia army into three columns, with cavalry on both wings, infantry in the middle, and archers at the rear.He knew very well the plans of the Estilians opposite him, so he used his best tactics and used elite cavalry to directly charge the Egyptian army, breaking through the fragile farmers' front in one fell swoop, completely destroying the Egyptian army's formation, and plunging them into a trap. After the chaos, they outflanked the Egyptian army from both sides and defeated it.
Despite being at a numerical disadvantage, Claes IV was not worried that his cavalry would not be able to break through the infantry defenses. A well-trained cavalry could defeat dozens of peasant cannon fodder. This has become an undoubted truth on the battlefield.
Estilia also has cavalry, but their long-term failure has caused them to lose the courage to fight against the Scyllians. Even if they dare to go out to try to protect the infantry line, the Serbian cavalry will crush them mercilessly in the charge duel. crush them.
In fact, the cavalry leads the charge, and the infantry follows up to harvest the heads. This tactic is a very common tactic in this era. Under the restrictions of cold weapon warfare, the quality of ordinary soldiers in each army is about the same, and there is no difference in equipment between each other. At most Your bow and arrow can shoot more shots than mine, and my armor is seven or eight pounds heavier than yours. This also means that the number of people and morale are the key to determining the success or failure of the battle.
Cavalry assault is the most lethal and effective means of destroying the enemy's formation and morale. As long as the formation is disrupted, soldiers who lose their command will fall into chaos. Farmers with no sense of loyalty will flee to save their lives, causing chaos to spread. An overall rout.
The generals on both sides knew this well. The reason why Old Tibes put the unprotected archers directly at the front of the formation was that he did not believe that relying solely on his own cavalry could successfully block the opponent's charge, so he sent It is hoped that the long-range killing ability of the archers will be used to curb the charging power of the opponent's cavalry as much as possible.
As long as it can be ensured that the peasant soldiers are not defeated in the first wave of charge, the cavalry that has lost most of its mobility will be much less threatening.
Although the ragged peasants and soldiers holding manure forks are still no match for the people who are armed to the teeth, it doesn't matter. There are so many of them now that they can't fight alone, so they can fight in groups.
The messengers from both sides began to convey the orders of their respective commanders. The Cecilia cavalry began to rush out of the formation one after another. The speed was not fast at first. As the distance got closer, it gradually accelerated and slowly switched to The state of full sprint.
As the cavalry got closer and closer, looking at the heavily armored cavalry riding tall horses and approaching them with weapons waving, the Estilian formation began to show obvious panic.
Old Tibes did not order his cavalry to countercharge as usual, but ordered the archers to start firing arrows to suppress the cavalry after they approached a certain distance.
When the first batch of archers released the first batch of arrows at a distance of almost 200 meters, the war finally officially started.
Although the scene of thousands of arrows being fired is shocking, at this distance, bows and arrows have basically no lethality on the armed knights themselves. Old Tibes hopes that the cavalry will disperse in order to protect the horses from being hurt by bows and arrows, thereby destroying Their formation reduces the lethality of the charge.
As expected, this successfully forced the Serbian knights to disperse their formation, but the archers could only fire another wave of arrows before they had to evacuate. Facing the knights who had closed the distance, these archers had no way of fighting back. Power can only be massacred unilaterally.
After the archers withdrew, the peasant soldiers behind, urged by the lords and lords, held up various shields and even temporarily dismantled door panels, preparing to face the fierce impact of the enemy.
The Serbian cavalry successfully broke through the distance limit and ran into the formation of the Egyptian infantry. Since they failed to catch the fast-running archers, the cavalry poured out all their anger on these unlucky peasant soldiers.
The cavalry at the front were almost waving like scythes, easily harvesting the outermost peasant soldiers, while the guys behind were wandering around to make up for the damage.
Although this caused the Egyptian infantry to suffer great losses, Old Tibes still achieved the effect he hoped for, blocking the power of the cavalry attack. Although the Serbian infantry set off almost at the same time as the cavalry, due to the difference in speed, Now I am still trying my best to come from behind.
As long as one's own cavalry kills the opponent's infantry before all the peasant soldiers die, and then turns around to cooperate with the remaining peasant soldiers to attack the Serbian cavalry, the battle will be won.As for the heavy casualties this style of play would cause to peasants and soldiers, Old Tibes didn't care at all.Anyway, those who died were farmers. These things are like leeks, they will grow back one after another after being cut.
While the cavalry were happily harvesting the crops of the Egyptian infantry, the infantry from the rear were also rushing over.Old Tibes did not hesitate to order his already eager cavalry troops to charge.
He regretted bringing too many farmers this time instead of hiring some long gunmen. Now the Serbian army's cavalry was about to cut the entire infantry line in two. These useless guys were really too fragile and were much weaker than expected. The time it takes to delay the enemy is much shorter, which is a waste of food for them.
After receiving the order, the Egyptian cavalry immediately rushed out of the position happily. They may not have the courage to confront the Serbian cavalry head-on, but it is not a problem to let them harvest the lives of the infantry.
When the Egyptian cavalry also ran into the Serbian infantry line head-on, the archers who had retreated earlier also regrouped and used the rain of arrows to force the Serbian infantry to be unable to move forward and separate the infantry lines from each other.
The battle simply evolved into a competition between the two sides to see whose cavalry could kill the peasants and soldiers more efficiently. Whoever's infantry failed to hold on first would win the battle.
This boring tactic of competing against each other for killing efficiency finally came to an end in the afternoon. Even though the Egyptian peasants and soldiers, who were already low in morale, had a numerical advantage, they were still killed by the Serbian cavalry from the middle, and then pulled away from them. After a short distance, another wave of returning charges was completely defeated, and they fled for their lives. At this time, the Serbian army infantry, which was equipped with many pikemen and equipped with armor, was still entangled in a melee with the Egyptian cavalry.
In this way, as long as the Serbian cavalry continues to defeat the Egyptian archers, they can turn around and come back to harvest the Egyptian cavalry together.
Old Tibes, who realized that the situation was over, naturally could not continue to hold on to the end. The peasants and soldiers were all dead. The archers and cavalry were all supported by real money, especially the cavalry were all nobles or would become Regardless of whether a nobleman was killed or captured, it would really cut his heart, and he would order the entire army to retreat without hesitation.
Now that they had received the order to retreat, the Estilian army collapsed naturally. Most of the 100-strong army was lost. The two commanders fled in confusion under the protection of their followers. More than [-] nobles were captured. Boda Castle immediately opened fire. The city surrendered, and the entire battle ended with a complete defeat of the Estilian army.Medieval White Elf Story
