Chapter 403 Who Will Break the Formation

() The Swiss are known for the aggressiveness of their phalanx, but defense is still the best fighting stance for the phalanx.

The Swiss who fought in this state showed se.

Although the Austrians on most fronts were in much better condition, they did not take advantage of it.

Even on the flanks of the Swiss phalanx, only one or two rows of Swiss turned their heads to resist, and the Austrians showed no signs of breaking through.

When the Austrian cavalry appeared in the east, Tony realized that the enemy's attack was coming, and he asked the clergy of Cyric who accompanied the army to bless his subordinates with various buffs in time.

Although the Austrian army is in an advantageous position in terms of overall numbers, it is clear that the Church of Rome has the advantage in terms of the number of magic spellcasters, and their positions are relatively easy to deploy.

Among these military chaplains, there are many archbishops and even red-clothed archbishops with relatively low qualifications and little family influence. The existence of these senior religious figures has provided great courage to the Swiss Guards and has had a considerable impact on the morale of the Austrian Army.

Most of the Austrian soldiers are still believers of Cyric. Although they can attack the enemy under the orders of the officers, they will inevitably hesitate to face those Cyric clergy, their minds are greatly disturbed, and their combat movements are deformed. .

This is a long-standing disadvantage in the struggle between the German imperial power and the Roman Catholic power. Soldiers from the German countryside used to be so excited that they could not speak when they saw a parish priest. The fact that the priest of the church was on the heads of the clergy several floors above them was really hard for them to digest.

Austrian soldiers hesitate because of the Cyric clergy.The Swiss Guard gets a bonus.

Under the ebb and flow, the Austrian army did not achieve a tactical advantage commensurate with its numerical advantage.

"Praise God!"

"The glow of the dark sun!"

"For the sake of God. For the true election of the Pope!"

These shouts on the battlefield caused Ladislaus under the banner to frown deeply. He considered whether to attack with Sarzastan and a few spellcasters, but the spellcasters attacked the phalanx that had been strangled with their own troops. It is very dangerous.

But it seems that only Sazastan, who has also rested, can use advanced necromantic magic to break through the enemy's front line.

The reason why he didn't use high-level necromantic and evocation magic to open the way at the beginning is because the reserve of magic materials accompanying the army has dropped to a very dangerous situation and needs to be reserved, and Ladislaus did not expect the Swiss Guard Those tough guys can be so strong.

After all, this is the enemy's territory, and the reinforcements to the east were only scared off rather than destroyed. If they make a comeback, the battle situation may still be repeated.

Even if the Roman army fails, as long as it is not surrounded and wiped out, there is a chance to reorganize locally, and once the Austrian army fails.It is difficult to provide supplies in Siena's current state, and even returning to the nearest land, Milan, is an extremely dangerous and long journey.

"Your Highness Sazastan, what do you think?" Ladislaus was not actually asking for opinions. He had already made up his mind to be a general when he was in command.

Of course Sarzastan understood this, and Ladislaus wanted him to break the formation.

Although dangerous, this is exactly his value, so Sazastan does not intend to refuse.

He was about to show his loyalty for a while.There was an uproar from among the Swiss.

A corner of the phalanx collapsed, and a dozen people gave up their comrades and glory and were fleeing.

Although there were not many people, it was obvious and a good sign for Ladislaus.

Frundsberg's armor makes most of the weapons that attack him can only cause negligible bludgeoning damage. Weapons that are not blessed and blessed are really powerless to stop this powerful enemy.

Frenzberg settled the fight.Although the Swiss are called tough guys, Frundsberg's vitality and his fighting style made all the Swiss called tough guys feel scared. Within the scope of his fighting posture, the resistance of the Swiss Guard is better than other places Dissipates much faster.

When Ladislaus's patience is running out, it centers on Frundsberg.The Swiss phalanx has been recessed dozens of steps inward.

In a corner flanked by two sides, the Swiss scattered and fled.Seeing this scene, Ladislaus temporarily gave up his plan to press the caster.

Then the situation developed as he expected, and the Swiss phalanx began to disintegrate slowly but irreversibly.

More and more Swiss people no longer stick to their positions, drop their halberds and start running around.

Suddenly, a Roman army broke out of the phalanx in an orderly manner and charged towards the Austrian cavalry cruising to the east.

Ladislaus in the back row and Frenzberg, who was rushing in the enemy line, had been waiting for this moment. From the mouths of the captured Roman officers and clergy, they knew that Tony was the commander of the Swiss Guard. And the Priest powers, both in quantity and quality, are worth mentioning.

Although there are already many clergymen who have upset the Austrian soldiers, the number is still not in line with the strength of the Church of Rome.

This force was obviously waiting for an opportunity, either to counterattack Frundsberg's arrow troops fiercely, or to break through.

Obviously, Tony chose to break out.

Slightly repelling the Austrian infantry squeezed by the two wings, a small group of nearly a hundred people, led by Tony, rushed towards Kessell-Witing's cavalry.

Tony finally gave up his plan to meet Frundsberg for real. Although he was quite proud of his current strength, it was obvious that he was not enough to reverse the general trend on the battlefield.

No matter how fierce the Swiss resisted temporarily, surrounded on three sides and cut off by cavalry, this was a desperate battlefield.

Compared with the Austrians, Tony actually knew better what the Roman reinforcements were. The anticipation just now was just an instinctive reaction. After a period of thinking, he now figured it out.

Since you can't see it now, it's impossible to get there in time.

If you don't want to die, you have to rely on yourself.

There is no choice in the direction of the breakout, the only way to the west is to get farther and farther away from the mainland, and there is no possibility of getting rid of the pursuit if you leave the avenue in the north-south direction.

The pressure on the two wings is increasing, and the fully stretched Austrian army is squeezing and destroying the Swiss phalanx at an increasing speed.

Only by defeating the cavalry to the east will there be a chance to escape from death.

This choice is helpless and invalid.

Kessell-Witting did not completely arrange his cavalry on the road. Having fought many battles in Württemberg, he has rich experience in how to use cavalry to chase down the defeated infantry.

After seeing Tony and the others break out of the phalanx, the last cavalry on the road no longer maintained a tight formation, but stepped aside slightly and arranged loosely on the side of the avenue.

After Tony rushed out of the phalanx, his heart sank when he saw the actions of the Austrian cavalry. Although he did not have as much experience as Kessell-Viting, it was not difficult to understand that this arrangement was to give him a side attack when he passed in front of them.

However, he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and continue to rush forward.

Ladislaus also lost no time to use the banner to order the infantry on both wings to continue to extend, cutting off the connection between this assault group and most of the Swiss mercenaries.

Tony led the team to break through and the situation surrounded by the Austrian army greatly accelerated the morale decline of the remaining Swiss. When Tony rushed to the side of the Austrian cavalry, some people in the Swiss phalanx surrounded and attacked had already begun to put down their weapons and surrender.

But there were still enough Swiss to resist for Tony's breakthrough.

Of course it was just an opportunity. Kessell Witting and many of his mercenary-born subordinates had no psychological burden on killing the priest in front of them.

Kessell-Viting's rich experience and relatively little religious pressure are the primary reasons why Ladislaus reappointed him as cavalry commander. The secondary reason is naturally that he must promote his own will or be promoted by himself. The relationship between the old subordinates is gone.

The saber, which is slightly disadvantageous in cavalry confrontation, is very effective in attacking infantry. Although there are many Swiss equipped with halberds among the breakouts, the infantry in motion has no ability to fight against cavalry at all.

Many warriors, who had been fairly determined in formation, were killed in flight like the most useless peasants.

Kessell-Weiting has seen this kind of thing a lot.

However, this enemy's counterattack was much stronger than Kessell-Weiting expected. The mercenaries from Central Germany had never fought against such a well-equipped enemy. (To be continued.
