The Black Knight from the Blue Planet
Chapter 759 Heavy Cavalry Charge
When Hadi arrived at the Bar Lev Fortress, he saw a group of excited and ecstatic people.
Like a plant that had been dry for a long time, it welcomed the rain.
He turned over and dismounted, and a young man about 25 years old walked over quickly.
Before Hadi could speak, the other party saluted first, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sir Hadi, you are finally here."
Hadi walked forward and looked around, and found that although these soldiers all looked happy, everyone looked very tired.
He could see that these people were on the verge of collapse.
If they didn't come again, it was estimated that in another four or five days, this fortress would probably mutiny.
Hadi smiled and said: "How many people do you have left?"
"About 300 people." Bar Lev's face was no longer happy, and he said sadly: "We had more than 500 people before."
Hadi nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. We will take over the defense next, you can go and rest for a while."
"Okay." Bar Lev breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that even if reinforcements came, they would have to continue fighting on the front line.
It was not that they were afraid of death or fighting.
But they really couldn't hold on any longer.
The two sides began to change their guards.
Soldiers wearing leather armor were replaced by elite soldiers wearing heavy armor.
At the same time, the reserve archery team in the logistics army also came to the city wall.
The reserve archery team was the guard of the logistics army. Their combat effectiveness was definitely not as good as that of the regular archers, but they were also very useful for defending strongholds.
After the two sides changed their guards, Levi-Barlev led his troops to retreat to the tents in the rear.
The first thing they did was not to eat, but to sleep.
Everyone lay down directly and began to sleep soundly.
It can be seen that they were really tired to the extreme.
The change of guard was carried out silently, and the flags were not changed.
At this time, the enemy had slowly come forward, and the front was a large shield legion.
And in the back, there was a siege vehicle and a small number of ladders.
The adjutant named Gewas said beside Hardy: "The enemy is estimated to have more than 10,000 people, and Lord Levi's army has only more than 700 people. It is already very powerful to have been able to hold out for nearly two months."
Although it is indeed advantageous to defend the city, it is indeed a good general to have been able to hold out until now with such a small number of soldiers.
Hadi looked at the adjutant and asked: "What do you think?"
"Sir, the enemy does not seem to know that we have changed defenses. They attacked with confidence, so my opinion is... to use their own tactics against them."
"Can you tell me in detail how to fight?" Hardy asked with a smile.
"We will let them put up the ladders. As long as we guard these key positions, we will kill as many as they climb up."
"What about the siege vehicles below?"
"Please take two hundred heavy cavalrymen with you to guard behind the city gate." The adjutant grinned and said, "We will let them break the gate and wait for them to come in through the aisle. The aisle is narrow, and the heavy cavalry will rush out... They will definitely be in chaos."
Hardy nodded: "It's a good idea. I think it's feasible."
"Thank you for your compliment." The adjutant showed an excited expression.
For the officers and soldiers of France, it is a very proud thing to get Hardy's approval.
Hardy was behind the parapet, looking at the enemy who had walked less than 300 meters in front of the city wall, and said: "Just do as you say, the top of the city wall is up to you."
"Yes, Sir Hardy."
Hardy nodded and came to the bottom of the city wall. Two hundred heavy cavalrymen were waiting quietly behind him.
Not long after, a distant horn sounded outside the city wall, followed by shouts of killing.
Soon, an enemy climbed up the city wall, but as soon as they appeared, they found that there were fully armed heavy armored warriors standing on the city wall.
The cavalry of the Silver Wing Knights, after getting off their horses, were also very powerful infantry.
The defensive power of full body armor is quite terrifying.
In order to climb up the city wall quickly, these first-line soldiers usually don't wear heavy armor, because those bodies are too heavy, and they will be exhausted after climbing to a high place, and they have almost no combat power.
So they usually only wear a helmet and equip a small shield on their left hand.
Go into battle lightly.
And there is only one consequence for lightly armed soldiers to encounter elite soldiers in full body armor!
Death!
The bodies of the enemies fell one by one.
But they didn't care, because for them, as long as they could get up, it was a victory.
"Our first-line soldiers have attracted the attention of the enemies on the city wall. They have no time to attack the siege vehicles. Go and break the city gate."
The front-line commander of the Netherlands shouted excitedly. ,
The huge siege vehicle was pushed to the city gate.
The thick wooden pestle hit the city gate at once.
Not long after, the city gate broke.
The Dutch army cheered loudly.
The front-line commander said excitedly: "The city has been broken, finally broken, quickly move the siege vehicle away, and then rush in, rush in."
The passage of the fortress is very long, about two hundred meters.
It is also very dark inside, and you can't see what is behind the passage from the outside.
Only when you go in and walk more than half the distance can you see the end of the passage.
The Dutch soldiers rushed into the passage frantically, crowding the four-meter-wide passage.
The fastest Dutch soldier's face changed drastically when he was about to rush out of the passage.
What did they see!
A group of heavy cavalrymen with silver armor and silver horses were quietly waiting for them.
At this time, these heavy cavalrymen moved and began to walk slowly forward, which was a sign of a charge.
"My God, run away!"
They turned around and wanted to retreat, but their comrades who were rushing in from behind pushed them forward.
"Don't push us, run away, it's a trap!" They shouted desperately.
More Dutch soldiers also knew it, but it was useless, and these people couldn't escape.
Because more of their own people in the back were still pushing them forward.
At this time, it was like a surging mountain torrent, and they couldn't retreat, but could only be carried forward.
The Royal Guards raised the blue angel flag.
Then two horses in a row charged into the passage.
If the Dutch soldiers entered the passage, it was like squeezing mud into it, then the charge of the heavy cavalry was like a hard wooden stick, squeezing the mud out from the opposite direction.
Effortless.
At this time, the Dutch commander was standing in the back, watching his army enter the city gate.
He was very excited now.
Victory in this battle would open the door to France.
It was like prying open the legs of a girl.
At this time, the French army was empty. As long as they entered, France would have no power to resist.
And he... will become the greatest soldier of this era!
Everyone praises him.
I feel excited just thinking about it.
When he was in high spirits, he saw a team of heavy cavalry rushing out of the broken door, then directly broke through the formation of the front line, and walked slowly in the encirclement of the central army, and gathered at a very fast speed to form a front arrow formation.
"What happened!"
The Dutch commander was surprised. (End of this chapter)
