Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 82 Fighting
Feeling that the armor was chopped, Lechicki silently thanked the craftsman who made the armor in his heart, because the armor saved his life.

The leader of the Esenlan army turned around, chopped off the spearhead of the spear that had attacked him, and then kicked the attacker, causing him to bend over.

Then the township party members around him rushed up and hacked the attacker to death with knives.

Lechicki looked around, and there was still a scene of scuffle.

The people of Aden and Nilfgaard are fighting desperately, and the blood on the ground has gathered into a river, killing people every moment.

Naturally, a lot of Esenland militiamen also fell down. Seeing his fellow countrymen being killed, Lechicki was quite heartbroken.

This is the young man he brought out from the folks, and there are people in the same family as him a generation ago.

But it was just a heartache, he still led his subordinates to fight without hesitation.

This battle brings together the expectations of the entire hometown for the future, and he can't let the people in his hometown down.

Since Herme became the Lord Protector, the status of the Esenlan people in the Lord Protector's government has increased.

After all, Hemei can rest assured that he can only use these fellow villagers and relatives from Esenland, and these people are willing to be loyal to him.

Hermey's Esenland fellows occupy the middle and lower levels of the Lord Protector's government in groups, and as for his relatives, they occupy many middle and upper levels of positions.

However, because the number of relatives is indeed small, Hemei promoted many fellow villagers to the middle and upper classes.

Therefore, within the Kingdom of Aden, the government of the Lord Protector of Aden still has a name, that is, the government of the Esenlans. After all, there are Esenlans everywhere.

At that time, many people regretted why they were not born in Esenland. It seemed to everyone that anyone who was born in Esenland could be an official.

Although these words are somewhat exaggerated, they are enough to show the number and status of Esenlan people in the government of the Protectorate.

While enjoying the benefits brought about by the rise in power, the people of Esenland are also aware of how conspicuous they are in Aedirn.

Therefore, in order to keep their position, the people of Esenlan understand that they have to work hard.

Hemei also made this point clear to the villagers. Since he has enjoyed power and benefits from him, you have to help him when he needs it.

Therefore, in this battle, the big and small forces in Esenland took out all the power at the bottom of the box. These four thousand soldiers are the essence of the entire Esenland, and they are all equipped with qualified equipment.

If Herme wins this victory, their power can continue, and they will go one step further because of the Duke Protector's victory.

But if they fail, they will be doomed, and the entire region will suffer heavy losses, and even be liquidated.

"Forward! Forward! My brothers! For our homeland!"

Following Lechicki's roar, the Esenland militiamen rushed to the Nilfgaardian's line bravely, and started fighting with these men in black.

Most of the Esenland militias use people from the same village and town as their fighting units, and their fighting power is even more valiant when they rely on their neighbors in their hometown.

"Ready! Launch!"

Lechicki suddenly heard such a shout from his side, subconsciously he raised his shield in that direction.

And it was this that saved his life, because the next moment a few crossbow arrows were inserted into his shield, and the strength from his arm told him that the crossbow arrows could definitely pierce the armor. .

But the Esenland militiamen around him were not so lucky, most of them were caught off guard and shot down.

Only a few of the knights survived due to their thick armor, but they are still afraid now, because the arrows of the crossbow arrows have penetrated slightly through the armor and stuck on the armor inside the armor.

Looking in the direction where the crossbow arrows came from, Lechicki found that a group of crossbow cavalry appeared on the battlefield at some point.

These crossbowmen were shooting at the Ardians in order, one squadron firing while the other loaded.

On the side of the crossbow cavalry, a group of Nilfgaardian heavy cavalry rolled over and knocked away the formation of the Esenland militia.

In the back, a large group of Nilfgaardian iron cans came up to expand the battle line. These iron cans cooperated very closely, and the long swords in their hands kept slashing and killing the Adian people.

A Nilfgaardian rider lifted his visor and blew the horn in his hand.

The distinctive horn of the Solar Division sounded, encouraging the Nilfgaardian army to march forward.

Caught off guard, the front of the Esenland militiamen was immediately torn open. Although the militiamen fought hard to kill the enemies who rushed in, there were still too many enemies.

"For the Great Sun!"

These Nilfgaardians are very fanatical in fighting, and they are completely fearless of life and death. This is coupled with their sturdy armor, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Looking at the flags on them, Lechicki realized that these people belonged to the Solar Division, the Nilfgaardian elite that was transferred by Adal.

As the chief of the general staff, Lechicki memorized all the information he could collect on the divisions and brigades of Nilfgaard.

And among the records of these materials, the division of the sun wheel is undoubtedly the most difficult one to deal with.

The Division of the Sun, also known as the Division of Ain Feid, this unit uses the silver sun as its banner.

In the Nilfgaardian Empire, all the troops that can use the sun as a symbol are not simple. This is the embodiment of combat effectiveness. Only troops with strong combat effectiveness can wear sun discs.

Right now, this solar division has indeed demonstrated its strong combat effectiveness. The army under the silver sun is like an iron fist, smashing the northern army formation in front of it.

The crossbow cavalry used their maneuverability to launch crossbow arrows on the flanks, the heavy cavalry crashed into the enemy's front line, and then the heavy infantry expanded the results of the battle. A set of procedures was completed in one go, without breathing during the period.

This army is like a meat grinder, constantly strangling the northerners.

"Steady the front line! Hold the front line!"

Lechicki took an arquebus loaded by his attendants and smashed the head of the Nilfgaardian soldier closest to him with one shot.

It's just that other people picked up the banner again immediately, and the Nilfgaardians simply followed suit.

There are quite a few matchlock guns on the market right now, so some people will equip themselves with this good armor-piercing weapon, and Lechicki is naturally among them.

"Damn, these desperate bastards."

Seeing the Nilfgaardians rushing up desperately again, Lechicki couldn't help cursing.

These bastards are really desperate, wave after wave endlessly.

The Esenland militiamen in the front all desperately resisted the advance of the Sunlun Division, but they were still defeated by the swords and spears of the black army.

In a short while, the battle line was pushed to the vicinity of Lechicki.

"All follow me!"

Lechicki called out to his subordinates, and then bravely entered the battle formation
He first chopped off the leg of a Nilfgaardian cavalryman who had just lost its impact, causing the knight to fall.Leaving the fallen knights to be harvested by his subordinates, he killed the Nilfgaardians in front of him. Those Nilfgaardians formed a shield wall, but Lechicki threw a bomb at the shield wall.

Although the bomb didn't kill many people, it was enough to open a hole in the Nilfgaardian front line. He just entered the front line, and the Esenland militiamen behind him also came in.

The battlefield immediately became a place of melee, with swords, guns, swords and halberds coming and going.

Although the Esenland militiamen fought bravely and were determined, they still couldn't face the Sunlun division.

After all, the division of the sun wheel has been recharging its energy for so long, and now it is swept away after being thrown into the battlefield.

Adal Aip Dasi threw in his last reserves, and after this wave, he was really no soldier at all.

The Duke's expectations for this counterattack were so high that he sent the main defense team up.

And the result made him very satisfied. It was a wave of reserve team investment that successfully contained the northerners' attack, and even had a faint counterattack.

Back in the present, when Lechicki was also under siege by Nilfgaardian soldiers, reinforcements arrived just as he was struggling.

A group of Cossacks rushed in desperately and fought with the Solar Division. Although their armor was not as good as the Solar Division, at least they dared to risk their lives.

This ruthless blow from the flank greatly affected the actions of the Sunlun Division, and the banner of this division also wavered, but they quickly entered the state and began to fight with the Cossacks.

This was what Herme wanted to see the most. Anyway, the Cossacks had a lot of lives, so it would be great to exchange these lives for the Nilfgaardian elite.

Of course, this must not be said, and it would be bad to say it.

"Hey bro, are you okay?"

Lechicki saw a Cossack Ataman coming to his side, and his Cossack cleared away all the nearby Nilfgaardians.

Lechicki knew the man. He was Selivalov, a Cossack ataman who had come to prominence in recent campaigns.

Lechicki shook his head, saying it was all right.

"It's fine if there's nothing wrong, let's teach these black dogs a profound lesson. Ha, look, Lord Herme has joined the battle over there."

Following Selivalov's voice, Lechicki saw Heme's falcon flag entering the battlefield.

Along with him, there were also a large number of guard cavalry, and those long-awaited royal knights were also among them. These royal knights were full of fighting spirit, and they had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

Herme seemed to be planning a flank attack, and the cavalry he led seemed to be making a detour.

Herme's appearance greatly boosted the morale of the frontline, and all Aedirians were excited for the arrival of the favored one.

In their view, the immediate victory must belong to them.

"Since Lord Protector has joined the battle, we have to work harder."

Lechicki wiped his sword with the smock on his body, and then continued to rush forward.

Seeing this, the Cossack Ataman naturally couldn't fall behind, so he also drew his scimitar and went up to kill, followed by a brutal melee and fighting.

.

"Stay in line! Keep in line! Show your courage, you are the elite of Aedirn, the elite of Aedirn, don't be afraid! Let Nilfgaard know what a real knight is!"

Holding a three-meter-long spear, the officer who was floating outside the advancing cavalry battle shouted.

At the same time, he did not forget to use his spear to beat those cavalrymen who wanted to break away from the main force, so that they could return to the battle line honestly.

The Aedirian cavalry formed three battle formations and headed towards the Nilfgaardian army formation. On the opposite side of them, the Nilfgaardian cavalry also formed a battle formation and came towards them.

So many cavalry galloped up, the earth seemed to be trembling.

A brutal cavalry confrontation is about to begin, and the next scene will undoubtedly be extremely cruel.

Herme was currently in the center of the cavalry, leading the royal knights forward with his bodyguard.

With so many cavalry galloping, the sky is full of dust, and they look very mighty from a distance.

The Aden Royal Knights are a very good cavalry team. They have strict cavalry drills and training, and have experience in cavalry battles.

When these cavalry battles started, it was an overwhelming scene.

However, the Nilfgaardian cavalry on the opposite side is not weak, and the Wind Tower Brigade is on the opposite side.

This cavalry has been monitoring the movements of the royal knights, and now that the royal knights are finally dispatched, he will intercept the royal knights.

Gwama, the commander of the Wind Tower Brigade, is burning with an extremely strong desire for revenge.

He saw the flag of the Falcon, and he knew that Herme was leading the army.

Gwama suffered a defeat at the hands of Herme, so he has always hated Herme to death.

Now that Herme was right in front of him, and the opportunity for revenge was right in front of him, how could he not be excited.

"Stay in line! Let those northerners know what a real cavalry battle is!"

"Yes!"

Gwama's words received a firm reply, and the Nilfgaardians had extremely strong confidence in cavalry warfare.

In such a real battle, the northerners will definitely be defeated.

Indeed, compared with Nilfgaard, the northerners really have no advantage in cavalry. The Black Sun Empire has too many elite cavalry, and the risk of cavalry fighting is very high, but Herme must take this risk.

On the frontal battlefield, as the Nilfgaardian elite, which had been recharging their strength for a long time, entered the battlefield, the advantages brought by the northerners with the bayonets on the cannons were offset by a lot, and the battle line became anxious again.

Right now, the only thing that can quickly end the battlefield is to start with the cavalry.

The cavalry of Aedirn and Nilfgaard were getting closer, but neither of the two armies flinched from the upcoming tragic collision, and there was no major fluctuation in the battle line.

On the one hand, both armies have their own pride, and on the other hand, both sides have strict and mature discipline to limit the escape of cavalry.

Those officers with spears didn't have nothing to do outside the formation. They were just to draw back the dishonest cavalry.

Herme saw the Nilfgaardian cavalry in front of him getting clearer and clearer. Instead of putting down his spear, he hung it aside, and then pulled out a wheel-wheel gun from his pocket.

There were quite a few members of the guard who did the same thing as Herme, but most of them pulled out matchlock pistols. After all, the production of wheel-wheel guns was too limited.

Although it has been modified, many people's matchlocks are still extinguished in such a galloping situation, and there is no way for those who are extinguished, so they can only put their pistols back.

Those that were not extinguished, everyone including Herme immediately opened fire.

After a burst of gunshots, about a dozen cavalry fell from the first battle line of Nilfgaard. It was also this fall that made the battle line of the Nilfgaardians immediately uneven.

Some Nilfgaardian cavalry tripped over fallen comrades, and some Nilfgaardian cavalry collided with comrades trying to avoid fallen corpses.

The unaffected Aden battle line directly and fiercely slammed into the Nilfgaardian battle line.

Amidst the dust, Nilfgaardian riders were knocked over from their horses and trampled mercilessly. The Nilfgaardians were at a disadvantage in this cavalry battle from the very beginning.

Except for those who were forced to huddle together and fight on horseback because of being too crowded, the other cavalry began to roam and chase, countless horseshoes trampled on the battlefield.

The battle was also very cruel. Once someone fell off his horse, a large number of cavalry rushed up to collect stabs, and from time to time some people screamed and fell off their horses.

Some people couldn't bear such galloping battles, so they got off their horses and gathered together, and then used the horses as fortifications, hiding inside to face the enemy.

"Stay in formation and follow me!"

Herme took the second wheel-wheel gun from Valentine and knocked down the Nilfgaardian standard bearer who was not far away with one shot.

The Nilfgaardian cavalry over there fell into a brief chaos, and the Nilfgaardians were still a little uncomfortable with muskets on the battlefield.

Then Hemei threw his frivolous helmet and cloak on the ground, and changed into spare equipment, he didn't want to be too conspicuous in the melee.

Next, Hemei led his guards to slash through. Hemei didn't know how many people were following him. On the chaotic battlefield, he could only go forward.

Naturally, the Nilfgaardian cavalry was quickly scattered and fled, and Herme was able to rush out of the killing field.

He looked at the battlefield of the melee, and found that the melee was the most intense near the flank of the Nilfgaardian army formation.

The Nilfgaardians focused their defense on that side. They thought that the Adenians might plan to flank the army. This choice was indeed correct, because the royal knights were indeed attacking that side.

The royal knights proved their fighting prowess, and these proud nobles even had an advantage over the Nilfgaardian cavalry.

After all, most of the Nilfgaardian cavalry are the product of several years of professional training, and most of these knights have been training since childhood.

Looking at the melee battlefield, Herme felt a burst of fear. He couldn't believe it, but he actually rushed out of the killing field.

And after finally killing it, he didn't want to go in again.

Looking around, I found that there were almost a hundred people here, most of them were Herme's guards, and a few were cavalry who followed unconsciously. It happened that this was enough for Herme to start his own plan.

From the very beginning, Herme's goal was not to flank the Nilfgaardian formation.

That was just a pretense, and he had only one goal.

That's beheading the general and capturing the flag.

Now that the reserve teams of the Adenians and Nilfgaardians have all been put into the battlefield, Herme felt that he could take a gamble, so he tried it, and now the first step is very successful.
