Chapter 798 Flynn...danger?
Flynn, who was a little puzzled at first, then laughed outright.
Flynn even wondered, could it be that this grand leader was the kind of second-generation man who rose to power purely through inheritance, and was a parallel import?
Fortunately, next to Flynn, there is a person who knows the most about the Knights of the Apocalypse.
That is, the former crown prince of the Apocalypse Knights, now the claimant to the throne, is also one of the sharpest generals of the Apocalypse Knights!
Fekir Knight.
Knight Fekir warned Flynn: "Lord Flynn, you must not underestimate the opponent. My father is a veteran on the battlefield. This style of play has been in the world for many years, and he rarely encounters opponents!"
As soon as Flynn was reminded by Knight Fekir, he instantly came back to his senses and remembered something. Flynn also instantly understood why the commander of the opposite army seemed to be in such chaos.
Because he leads a knight troop.
Knight knights have practiced martial arts since childhood, practiced fighting hard, are well-equipped, and full of courage.
On Earth, during the First Crusade, tens of thousands of Crusaders, led by knights, traveled thousands of miles away and directly penetrated Asia Minor, Syria, and Palestine.
Having defeated powerful countries such as Roma, Seljuk, and Fatimid, it can be said that the martial virtue is quite abundant.
Why?
Why can tens of thousands of crusaders go on an expedition and attack everything?
Because the frontal force is too strong!
If you can't beat him head-on, no matter what else you do, it will be in vain.
Heavy cavalry combined with heavy infantry and extremely brave heavy troops can solve many problems head-on.
A group of heavily armored cans covered in luxurious armor charged head-on and hit the lightly armored troops, crushing them!
It’s the Assault on Freedom Hammer Zaku!
In the Kingdom of the Apocalypse Knights, which uses knights as the core of its operations, the main force on the battlefield is this humanoid Gundam-like existence.
The power of a wave of recklessness is absolutely heaven-defying.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the seemingly disorganized army of the Apocalypse Knights cannot be underestimated.
Of course, it would be better if there is a reasonable formation.
However, it is difficult for an army dominated by knights to be strictly divided by arms like the army in the classical era.
It is impossible to put knights in the heavy cavalry team, horse-riding retinues in the medium cavalry team, and infantry retinues in the infantry team.
Because the knight and his retinues are themselves a small combat unit.
They will stick together. The knight and his brothers must be together.
Forcibly splitting up a group that has been working well together will actually lead to a decrease in combat effectiveness.
Of course, I have to admit that if the army is mainly composed of knights, it can be more organized and disciplined.
If the formation is clearer, the combat effectiveness can also be improved.
But that itself is difficult to achieve.
Sir Knight, where did their titles, wealth and status come from? ?
It’s all obtained through fighting!
Wants to be a rich knight, a rising nouveau riche.
Then it is necessary to gain enough military exploits on the battlefield.
In many cases, knights are willing to risk their lives and charge forward personally.
Just like an ordinary big-headed soldier, fight to the death.
It's because knights must have military merit.
They must have continuous military exploits to maintain their own status and wealth and avoid becoming bankrupt poor knights.
Just like those down-and-out knights who are so poor that they are forced to sell the armor passed down by their ancestors.
Therefore, the troops composed mainly of knights are very brave when fighting, and they also like to be brainless.
calm?
Perhaps at the beginning, they could obey the commander-in-chief's orders and carry out reasonable front defense.
But as soon as there is an advantage in the battle, or an opportunity to snatch heads and military glory, the knights will be unable to hold back their anger!
It is easy for the knights to rush forward without obeying orders, rushing in to grab heads.
Not only the ordinary grassroots knights, but also some ambitious middle- and high-level nobles, in order to obtain more foundations and gain more say in the post-war carve-up.
They also liked it very much, leading their troops to rush forward to grab people's heads.
This kind of knight's iconic pig rushes forward and breaks away from the battle line to grab military glory. It is indeed stupid, but its combat effectiveness is indeed very strong.
If the enemy on the battlefield can take advantage of the Cavaliers' tendency to rush forward and grab heads, it will be easy to take advantage of this to kill the opponent.
But not everyone has the strength to take advantage of this shortcoming to kill the knight.
You must know that each of these knights is skilled in bow and horse, well-equipped and fearless of death. Such troops are very powerful in fighting on the battlefield.
Ordinary miscellaneous troops, even if they have the opportunity, cannot seize it, and they will be killed immediately.
Therefore, on the battlefield, when I saw the troops of the National Head of the Apocalypse Knights on the opposite side, they were in a mixed state.
After his initial contempt, Flynn quickly figured out why he shouldn't underestimate the other party.
The reckless tactics are shameful but effective!
…
After waves of war horns sounded, the leading troops of both sides began to engage in battle.
Sure enough, the Knights of the Apocalypse used their signature heavy cavalry tactics.
At the very beginning, there were hundreds of elite knights in armor and armor, leading their retinues, a total of two to three thousand troops, heading straight for Flynn's center.
Facing the enemy's earth-shaking powerful charge, Flynn seemed very panicked and quickly retreated his second "Sharp Arrow" Corps, the reserve force of the Chinese Army.
At the same time, the main infantry groups on both sides of the battlefield also began to move toward the middle, trying to use a closed-door tactic to block the Apocalypse Knights from attacking their own side.
Among the two infantry regiments deployed by Flynn, in addition to the heavy infantry wearing iron armor, there are also many archers and javeliners.
Their mobility is relatively good, and they can support the middle lane relatively quickly, using the long-range weapons in their hands to launch long-range strikes.
The long-range troops among the front-line infantry have pretty good long-range firepower. They can often deal devastating damage to ordinary enemies.
But because the charging Apocalypse Knights are all the most elite and luxuriously equipped, there are also super-powered Apocalypse Knights among them.
The hasty long-range firepower was completely unable to stop the opponent.
Under their charge, Flynn's two legions on the front line were not able to completely block the impact of the enemy cavalry.
There were about 1,000 people who successfully broke through the gap between the two infantry phalanxes deployed by Flynn and rushed in front of Flynn's reserve phalanx.
Beheading operation!
It seems likely to succeed!
Fortunately, the number of Flynn's troops is still 10,000.
What's more, it's the most elite second "Arrow" legion?
