Chapter 21 Running away

After all the infantry on the left wing of the Tang San Kingdom collapsed, the right wing infantry of the Warlin Kingdom, who had shot several rounds of defeated soldiers, focused on the opponent's cavalry, with the focus on attacking the opponent's light cavalry.

The power of the bow and arrow is actually enough to shoot through iron armor within a hundred meters and steel armor within a fifty meters, but this is useless.

An iron armor knight, underneath the iron armor is a layer of leather armor, and underneath the leather armor is a layer of underwear made of multiple layers of silk. Arrows lose most of their kinetic energy when they pass through the iron armor.

It is said that you cannot wear Lu silk when you are at the end of your strength. In fact, silk underwear has a strong ability to defend against arrows.

The cavalry of both sides, which hedged round by round, occupied the battlefield in the middle. It was not so realistic to go around and support the infantry on the other side. It was very likely that they would be attacked by the cavalry on the road.

Supporting the cavalry battles of our own side has become the most important task of the right-wing infantry phalanx.

Even heavy cavalry is unwilling to fight with the support of the opponent's long-range arrows. Although heavy armored knights cannot shoot to death, the war horses are still dangerous under the rain of arrows.

The heavy cavalry's war horses also have armor on their bodies. Of course, the armor of this kind of mount is incomparable to the knights themselves. They are just a layer of leather armor with iron plates inlaid with good protection, but it is unlikely to say that the arrows are completely blocked.

As long as a horse is injured, it can lift the heavy cavalry off the horse. No matter how high the defense of the single heavy cavalry is, it cannot withstand a group of heavy cavalry gathering fire - you will not be given the opportunity to heal the wound.

After losing another heavy cavalry and dozens of light cavalry, the Tang San Kingdom could no longer hold on, and the nobles turned around and left one after another. Tang Si of the Tang San Kingdom had to order people to beat the gong and withdraw the troops.

The cavalry of the Warling Kingdom chased for more than twenty miles again, and did not stop until they saw the border city.

In this battle, the infantry of the Tang San Kingdom was almost destroyed. They were either eliminated on the battlefield, captured while escaping, or ran to other places. Anyway, there were no infantry of the Tang San Kingdom on the way to the border city.

Most of the light and heavy cavalry of the Tang San Kingdom went back. However, the next step should be the siege battle. If the cavalry defended the city, they would lose money no matter how they looked at it.

It’s not that cavalry cannot defend the city. In fact, the heavy armored knights have a very tenacious ability to defend the city after getting off the war horse.

But after all, heavy armored knights are a minority, and there are a large number of light cavalry, so it is a waste to defend the city. However, after these two battles, the Tang San Kingdom lost all the infantry in its hands, and the only ones who can still go to the city wall were the light cavalry.

As for the temporary recruitment of civil servants, it is certain, but these temporary recruitment of civil servants are just doing auxiliary work. Even if they get weapons, they will not be more difficult to deal with than robbers. After all, they are temporary recruitment of civil servants, and they should laugh secretly if they don’t have any trouble.

After cleaning the battlefield, the Warling Army rested for a day. The Light Cavalry sent a reconnaissance cavalry to open a cordon around the opponent's border city.

As for Lin Kaixin, the title was promoted to another level after the battle, and now he is Lord of the Kingdom. The infantry led by Lin Kaixin's troops defeated the enemy's infantry, which is also something that everyone sees. The simplest rule in the army is to distinguish between rewards and punishments. If this cannot be done, it can only mean that the kingdom takes jujube pills.

Thinking about the subordinates of Jiang Guangtou, Sun Yuanliang, known as the long-legged general, was promoted repeatedly. Many officers who had never fought hard battles were promoted to senior officials. Even if their own direct descendants were defeated, they would be punished with three drinks of wine. How could such a military organization not perish?

The results of this battle far exceeded the last time. The Tang San Kingdom had more than 2,000 infantry soldiers alone, of which 754 were killed in battle, and 1,300 and 22 were captured. The rest were unknown where they fled.

The light cavalry of the Tang San Kingdom also lost more than 300 people, including 144 people who died in battle and 208 who were captured.

The most important thing is that the heavy cavalry also suffered losses this time. The heavy cavalry of the Tang San Kingdom lost three cavalry, one died and two were captured.

In addition to more than a thousand prisoners, the Wolin Kingdom also seized 135 war horses and three basically intact iron armor. There is no shortage of light cavalry and heavy cavalry talents in the Wolin Kingdom. In this way, the Wolin Kingdom suddenly added more than a hundred light cavalry and three heavy cavalry. As for the captured infantry weapons and equipment, they could only be sold to merchants at a low price to exchange for money.

The Waring Kingdom is not short of this infantry equipment. As for the future, whether these infantry equipment will be sold to mercenaries or bandits, that is not something we can know now.

As for the losses, the Waring Kingdom only had heavy cavalry and Lin Kaixin's troops not. The other troops and infantry were killed more than 100 people, mainly on the left wing. The light cavalry also killed forty-five people. However, the losses of the light cavalry were soon drawn by the Waring Kingdom's infantry to make up for it.

The current first infantry squadron of the Warling Kingdom is only 190 people left in Lin Kaixin's army.

The army rested for a day after the battle, and then arrived at the border city of the Tang San Kingdom for one day. This city is called Octopus City, which is the territory of Octopus Earl. However, now Octopus Earl, I think it's the intention to cry.

In the second battle, the most losses were the infantry under the leadership of Count Octopus, and the mercenaries who were forced to be recruited in the city, and they were almost completely killed. After this battle, Count Octopus would not know what to use to defend the city from now on.

However, Lin Kaixin felt that this time the Octopus City was really dangerous. Thousands of troops were eyeing outside the city, and there were only less than two thousand cavalry in the city.

Although the guarding of the city has certain advantages, it is a waste to defend the city with light cavalry. As we all know, the best battlefield for light cavalry is on the plains. If a light cavalry trained for such a long time and money is easily defeated by infantry on the battlefield of defending the city, it would be a great loss.

This is like letting pilot tank soldiers be used as ordinary infantry.

After setting up camp two miles outside the city, the infantry were assigned tasks to cut down trees and then build shield chariots.

Cloud ladder? It is unnecessary. The city wall is only more than five meters high. With the four-dimensional attributes of level 15 soldiers, they can jump up with weapons and equipment supplies. Earthlings with attribute 5 can jump one meter high if they have a running aid. The city wall of more than five meters high can block some low-level robber gangs.

The Warling Kingdom basically went to the battle with elite troops, and they could not use siege equipment like cloud ladders.

The purpose of making shield chariots is to cover the soldiers under the city and the soldiers guarding the city on the city to shoot. Once the soldiers guarding the city are insufficient, they will jump onto the city wall to see the gap and then start a battle on the city wall.

However, the Wolin Kingdom's plan failed to come true. When the Wolin Kingdom infantry dispatched to cut wood, the gate of Octopus City opened wide, and teams of cavalry rushed out of the city. After two rounds of confrontation with the Wolin Kingdom cavalry, the cavalry of the Tang San Kingdom rushed out all the way west.
