Chapter 62 Hard Fight
The dilemma has become a portrayal of the Rodok numberers on the battlefield. The 300 people on the battlefield may be completely wiped out, but there is no news about the reinforcements outside. In fact, there are already many reinforcements surrounding them, but the numberers can only wait like this. With more than half of the troops gathered, they can give up the 500 troops and then fight an annihilation battle with the consumed Lord Reed. Even if Lord Reed is strong, I believe that the ten-fold difference is enough to eliminate him.
However, it is obvious that what I did was too disappointing. After all, the people of Rodoc were disheartened after the defeat. If it were not for the situation, everyone would have run away. Without unified command, it was one of the weaknesses of the Rodoc numberers. The two groups of numberers who had entered the battlefield to support made their own decisions, but were wiped out without preparation.
How to save it or not? Now it's their turn to worry. If there are fewer people to support, they may not be able to securely capture Lord Reed. However, if there are too many support, there will be a gap in the encirclement, and the target will be able to escape from the battlefield. So just wait like this. Anyway, the troops have not been fully assembled. If the battle has not yet been decided after the assembly, then our side will have sufficient troops to arrange support.
Hu Bin on the battlefield was sure that there would be no reinforcements on the Rodok side. It was estimated that the numberer on the opposite side knew that he was being treated as cannon fodder. The morale of the Rodok soldiers gradually declined during several provocations by the cavalry. Some spearmen began to tremble because of their long-term concentration.
There was no expression on Hu Bin's face, and he knew that he was in trouble. Rodok's numberers were obviously very prepared and had almost no chance to turn the tables. Hu Bin, who no longer hesitated, ordered the army to launch a full-scale attack. If the troops were allowed to retreat successfully near the edge of the battlefield, the situation would be even more serious.
The heroic knights picked up heavy riding rifles and trained to control the rhythm of the charge, without Hu Bin's command at all. There was no fear, no excitement, and no negative influence of morale. Such knights seemed as cold as the iron can on their bodies, and were a fully qualified killing machine.
The cavalry led by Hu Bin's followers had already had anger with the enemy. Facing the Rodoc numberers who were attacked on both sides, they organized quite stubborn resistance. The spearmen were lucky enough to block the first wave of charges, causing the cavalry as vanguards to suffer a heavy blow. However, losing the impact does not mean that the cavalry will surrender. The gap in the military level appears undoubtedly at this moment.
The level of the Rodoch soldiers was generally not high. Faced with the cavalry's excellent weapons and armor, their fragile defense and weak piercing could not effectively kill the enemy. The situation that should have been stabilized turned into a melee. Except for the enemy's cavalry who were killed by their own impact, the others were only slightly injured, while the spearmen in the front row of the Rodoch army lost a lot.
The chaos on the other side seemed to have not affected the enemy facing Hu Bin. Looking at the formation that was not messy at all, Hu Bin felt quite unsure. After all, he still had the advantage in the number of enemies, and he still had to retain his strength to deal with the next battle, but now it seems that he could not defeat this group of enemies without fighting for casualties.
The 600 steps was not very far for the cavalry charging at high speed. The guards wrapped around Hu Bin and rushed into the spear without any fancy. Hu Bin could not see the situation ahead, but could only hear the noise of the collision between the armor and weapons and the soldiers' wounded screams. Then they were blocked by the knights in front and were forced to stop.
At this time, Hu Bin finally saw the situation around him. His team seemed to be a rolling pin hitting the dough and was inlaid into the formation of the Rodocs. The enemies around him made it impossible for Hu Bin's formation to unfold. Although it seemed that his soldiers did not suffer much losses in the charge, and the knights on the outside were still chopping the enemies, this still could not change Hu Bin's current situation.
This is the real strength of the Rodocs. When their spearmen consumed the impact of the cavalry, they wrapped the cavalry with dense walls, making it impossible for the enemy to unfold the formation and give the crossbowmen behind them time to output.
The outstanding performance of the heroic knights in the siege made the Rodok crossbowmen gradually set their targets on them. Although the composite plate armor has excellent protection, it cannot completely resist the close-range shooting of the siege crossbow. Soon Hu Bin discovered that his personal guards began to lose their troops, but the Rodoks could only do this.
Although the gap in quality can be made up with quantity, the army of Rodok was obviously not large enough, and the battlefield behind was soon killed by the cavalry. Under their threat, Rodok's crossbowmen replaced melee weapons and large shields, which greatly slowed down the pressure on Hu Bin's side.
However, the battle situation is not optimistic. The protection of the large shield ensures the survival of the Rodok crossbowmen. In the melee, the numberers of Rodok gave up their command and began to use their own strength to influence the situation.
A mercenary cavalry had just cut off the large shield in front of the enemy, eager to see the enemy splashing blood in his next attack, but the sword light from the side severely damaged him. A numberman of Rodoc took advantage of the moment when he focused his attention in front of him and rushed out from the side, slashing his left rib with a knife. The excellent armor could not resist this powerful blow. He tried to deal with the opponent who wanted to get a bargain. The seriously injured mercenary cavalry finally fell off his horse and fell into the chaos.
The cunning Rodok numberers always find a gap to attack Hu Bin's soldiers and the horses under them, and the cavalry who lost their horses struggled to stand up in the crowd after falling to the ground.
However, the numberers' tactics were hit by the heroic knights. A Rodoch numberer who was trying to sneak attack was slashed with a sword by the knight with eyes on the back of his head, and then no numberer dared to approach them.
Hu Bin, who was squeezed among his own people, was beaten in a daze. He often saw the figure of an enemy not far away, but the next moment he was chopped down by his subordinates next time, but he couldn't even lift his weapons.
However, the situation gradually changed with the losses of the soldiers on both sides. The number of people decreased, so that the Rodok legion could no longer maintain a tight formation. Some of the cavalry who had obtained the gap immediately left the battle and accelerated again to gain impact, killing the lonely enemies on the periphery, while the cavalry still surrounded by the middle showed signs of killing through the encirclement.
Hu Bin, who had been swept by his own guards, finally saw the collapse of morale, collapsed into many squads, and fled. The numbers who were the backbone gave Hu Bin's cavalry heavy damage and escaped from the battlefield under the cover of the soldiers.
Hu Bin lost more than 40 cavalrymen in this battle, and a considerable number were killed by the numberers. The painful losses made Hu Bin understand that he still had a shallow understanding of the numberers. Although his surge in strength did not make him lose his true intentions, he still made him look down on other numberers. If he followed Gerry and Coogeet's camp and then turned back, no matter how many numberers were, he would not be able to stop him.
Hu Bin, who gathered his troops and withdrew from the battlefield as a winner, was pulled into the battle again in a flash.
A legion of at least one thousand people and more than 20 numberers were the lineup prepared by the numberers of the Rodok camp for Hu Bin. Hu Bin knew that he was going to pay for his carelessness, and such a number of enemy troops could no longer be resisted by luck and tactics.
The Rodock numberers introduced some representatives to negotiate with Hu Bin, and several Rodock numberers who had just been defeated and fled were also among them.
"Lord Reed, his reputation is well-deserved. I'm sorry to entertain you in this way, but he's doing everything he can on the battlefield. Surrender, you can't have the chance to escape, why not just increase casualties? We just want to invite you to Viruga as a guest for a month." A representative of Rodok persuaded surrender first, but he smiled himself. After all the fights, he knew that Lord Reed would hardly surrender.
"Your hospitality specifications are really high-end, but unfortunately I have urgent matters and I don't have time to delay with you." Hu Bin was unforgivable, but he thought of a way to get out.
"Oh? What's the urgent matter? If we can do it for you, you can tell me." Another Rodoc numberer asked with interest, and Lord Reed in front of him had just defeated him head-on.
"I'm in a hurry to start a war to destroy you Rodok, hahaha." Hu Bin laughed, and all the Rodok numberers who met changed their faces.
"It seems that there is nothing to talk about." The number one who spoke first stared at Hu Bin's face, expecting the other party to surrender with luck.
