Bloodline Lord of War

  Chapter 60 Infantry Charge

  In previous imperial wars, it is not without precedent for infantry to defeat cavalry. As long as proper tactics and command are coordinated, it is best to take advantage of the terrain, and infantry can also defeat cavalry.

  However, even if you win, it will be very difficult to continue to expand the results.

  High mobility is always the magic weapon for cavalry, if you can't win, run away. The infantry only relies on two legs, and it is almost impossible to chase the cavalry.

  If the formation cannot be maintained during the pursuit, and the enemy's cavalry suddenly returns to the carbine, the winner's throne may change hands.

   Robin is currently facing this difficulty.

  Relying on the half-elf's superb archery skills, he can indeed easily defeat the horse bandits. However, if the horse bandit wants to run away, it will be difficult for him to pursue him.

  Robin can't spend the main force on the commercial road all the time, the wasteland is full of dangers, and no one knows when the next war will come.

  So, he wanted to solve this group of horse bandits as soon as possible once and for all, and let them all die here today.

  Robin was inside the car formation, seeing the horse bandits stopped attacking, he guessed that the horse bandits might want to retreat.

  He must not let them go, so Robin thought for a while, and immediately ordered the opening of the car formation, and let the iron guards line up again outside the car formation.

  The iron guards gave up their shields and picked up their familiar spears again. Forty iron guards formed two thin spear formations in front of the chariot formation.

  Voluntarily giving up the superior vehicle defense and exposing the infantry directly to the impact range of the cavalry is almost tantamount to suicide, and any commander with a normal head would never do this.

   But Robin did just that.

  He will clearly send a signal to Saber: Be reckless, you can win.

  Using the Iron Guard as a bait, Robin wants to seduce the horse bandits and make them think that he can win. Only in this way, they will rush over without hesitation.

  If Robin had a group of ordinary human spearmen, he would definitely not adopt such a risky tactic, because it would be courting death.

  But Robin is leading a team of iron guards, highland warriors who have awakened the power of their blood. With the strength of the iron guards, it is no problem to resist the frontal charge of the light cavalry.

   It should be said that with the giant power of the Iron Guard, it is Robin who really has the upper hand.

  So, to implement such a seemingly suicidal tactic, Robin has the confidence.

  Saber was riding on horseback, seeing a group of caravan guards running out of the car formation, and then quickly forming two rows of spear formations, he was momentarily stunned.

  He was very confused at first, what the **** are these people doing? Want to use a spear against yourself?

   But immediately, Saber realized that this was an opportunity.

   There are only forty spearmen on the opposite side, and there are ninety cavalry left in his hands. The distance between the two sides is less than a hundred steps, and the opponent can be defeated with a single charge!

   Saber couldn't help showing an excited smile on his face. He must not let go of such a great opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

  Though the spearmen looked unusually tall, the sabers dismissed them, for they were proud cavalry.

  Although the horse bandits are just a group of light cavalry without vests, cavalry is cavalry, and they have strategic advantages that infantry cannot match.

   Once the horse starts to charge, the man and the horse weigh at least a thousand catties. Such a mountain of meat runs at a speed of sixty miles per hour, and it is simply a steamroller on the battlefield!

  These are surrounded by flat grasslands, which can be said to be the best terrain for cavalry charges.

   Saber doesn't know who is directing the battle, is it Janna? Or a guard. But no matter who it was, Saber was convinced that he must be a fool to make such a ridiculous deployment.

  He couldn't help laughing happily, and said to the deputy of the horse bandit beside him: "Look, those idiots on the other side have gone crazy and came out of the back of the carriage on their own initiative!"

  The deputy of the horse bandit also laughed. Like the saber, he was thinking of withdrawing just now, but when he saw an opportunity, he had the idea of ​​continuing to fight.

   After all, so many brothers died in this business, it would be a shame if they didn’t get any profit.

  The saber jerked the reins, turned the horse's head, and faced the horse bandits behind him, he was going to mobilize before charging.

   "Brothers, we suffered a small loss just now, but now, the God of War has given us a good opportunity. As long as you follow me and rush over, we will win!"

   "We saber knights can't just run away in such a desperate way. We must let these **** know who is the real king in this wasteland, and it is us!"

   "Follow me, draw your sword, charge, and crush them!" Saber raised the knife in his hand and shouted hoarsely.

The horse bandits were once again aroused with **** fighting spirit. They put down their bows and pulled out their sabers from their waists. A group of people raised their sabers to the sky, like a group of wild wolves on the wasteland, echoing the earl of the saber and uttering "Awow!" roar.

  Robin held a big sword in one hand and wore armor. He walked to the front of the spear array, his steps were slow but powerful.

  Seeing that all the horse bandits on the opposite side pulled out their sabers and howled a lot, he knew that his strategy of luring the enemy had succeeded.

  Simon ran to Robin and smiled like an old farmer: "Hey, leader, the other side is hooked."

  Robin nodded grimly, "Follow me later, charge."

  Simon put the iron helmet on his head: "Yes! Leader!"

  Then, Janna ran over again with small steps. She ran to Robin and asked in a panic: "My lord, you opened up the car array and called the soldiers out of the defensive formation. What are you going to do?"

   In terms of military affairs, Robin has always been arbitrary, so he didn't say hello to Janna beforehand, and the red turban didn't know Robin's battle plan.

In this "false caravan" operation, Janna's main job is to help Robin complete the disguise. After all, Robin and the others are not real merchants, and their behavioral logic is definitely different from that of the caravan. Prevent being seen as a horse's foot.

   Regarding the battle plan after encountering the horse bandits, Janna also asked Robin curiously, but Robin prevaricated with a few simple words.

   "The archers shoot a wave, and the iron guards do a wave of close-up, and they all work."

  Jana understands that the baron is not in tune, and she trusts Robin, so she doesn't keep asking.

   But at this moment, seeing that Robin had transferred all the soldiers out of the car formation, Janna suddenly became a little anxious. Even if she didn't understand military affairs, she could tell that Robin's troops were too small, and they were not heavy infantry, so they couldn't resist the cavalry's charge head-on.

   Robin calmed down and stretched his shoulders and neck to prepare for the final battle.

  He answered Janna calmly: "Can't you see this? We are going to charge."

   "Charge?!"

   Janna was stunned, her beautiful blue eyes wide open. It was the first time she had heard that the infantry charged the cavalry at such a young age.

  She said in disbelief: "My lord, is it the horse bandit on the opposite side who wants to charge?"

   "Yeah, they charged, we also charged, he charged his, I charged mine." Robin took it for granted and said clearly.

  Janna was dumbfounded when she heard this.

If this word came out of someone else's mouth, Janna would definitely call him a lunatic, but if it came out of Robin's mouth, no matter how absurd the plan sounds, Janna couldn't help but want to believe him .

  After all, Janna thought Robin was crazy more than once before, but in the end it turned out that behind every seemingly crazy move of Robin, there was absolute strength to back it up.

  This man can always make the impossible possible.

   Then, Robin began to chase Janna away impatiently. "It's dangerous here, go back and lie down under the car, don't make trouble for me."

   After finishing speaking, the lord could not help but gently push Janna, but he didn't care about the severity of his hand. Although he was as gentle as possible, he still pushed the little girl back.

  The red turban was a bit airy, but he obediently ran back to the carriage, and returned to the carriage where he hid before, lying under the carriage like a little rabbit.

   She believed in Robin, the unconditional kind.

   It's just her big smart eyes, watching Robin's back worriedly.

  Robin also put on the iron helmet. He looked resolutely at the horse bandits in the distance, and shouted:

   "Ready to attack!"
