Chapter 492: War and disorder 2

Chapter 492 – War Trouble 2
The two “porcupines” that were approaching each other with their backs facing each other, the spikes on their “asses” finally came into contact with each other, and then plunged into each other.

The people in the first row were the unluckiest, those very unfortunate soldiers who were unable to dodge were stabbed into their chests, throats, shoulders and legs by the spikes of the lances.

Almost at the same time, some injured people on both sides howled in pain, or simply fell to the ground without saying a word.

Immediately after the casualties, the soldiers in the first two rows subconsciously stopped or backed up, twisting their bodies from side to side with the swinging of the spear tips on the opposite side in order to avoid being stabbed themselves.

The two squares that were battling each other almost immediately stopped marching, simply by the soldiers in the first few rows of each side using their spears to gesture towards the opposite side’s face while dodging the other side’s equally wobbling spear tips.

The lances on both sides crackled and slapped or blocked each other in the gaping area in the center.

Commanders on both sides gave orders in rapid succession, urging their respective men forward with roars and whips, trying to get them to risk their own injuries and lives by stabbing their lances into the bodies of the enemies on the opposite side.

But each chorus of orders only allowed their ranks to advance a little, and after a casualty the soldiers would spontaneously fall back again.

Contact, disengage, contact, disengage …… The two armies kept repeating this process, watching Lister’s heart grow furious.

At this time a rolling smoke appeared on the main road leading to the east, Lister raised his eyes and looked, and he realized that a cavalry was rapidly galloping.

This cavalry was obviously a grade higher than the two infantry that were battling against each other, everyone was wearing armor and carrying a mounted rifle.

Someone in Jeb’s army spotted this cavalry rapidly approaching from their flanks and backs, and almost instantly, their formation began to be disorganized.

Some turned their spears towards the charging cavalry, some stood their lances on the ground, bewildered, and the unluckiest ones were the first few rows that were sparring, and under the distraction many were stabbed.

The cavalry group gradually formed a wedge formation in the fast approach, and when they were about forty to fifty meters away from the Yebu army, all the war horses suddenly accelerated together and crashed into the Yebu army at a very fast speed.

The horseman’s horse was about to hit the tip of the enemy’s spear, he neighs and leaps up his front limbs, braking himself at the last moment, but this didn’t affect the master on his back to accurately and powerfully stab out his riding spear, this cavalryman was so well trained, as if he and the horse on his hip had grown up together and shared the same body, the Yeboi soldiers on the front were terrified, and the horsemen on their backs were so scared, they suddenly accelerated together.
The Jeb soldier in front of him watched in horror as the mounted lance stabbed into his chest, and collapsed helplessly with unwillingness and lingering fear.

The cavalryman who had scored a hit drew back his weapon and immediately turned his horse around and ran off into the distance.

His companions, who were following closely behind, repeated his actions, and in fact, his companions were only a few breaths behind when they engaged the Jeb soldier, as the final charge was too fast.

Not all of the cavalrymen had the good fortune of the one at the head of the charge, some missed their targets, others didn’t find the right target, but all of them didn’t stop to fight, and none of them immediately turned their horses around to disengage from the Yeboah soldiers.

The casualties caused by the first round of the cavalry’s onslaught were not many, and those who fell were immediately replaced by those who came after them, but the Jeb’s army’s formation as a whole had already begun to loosen up. The timid soldiers still stood honestly in their positions, some bold or eager to take credit ran out of the square with their weapons in their hands when the cavalry started to withdraw, thinking that they could use their lances to achieve results before the opponent’s horses picked up speed, but none of their wishes were in vain, and the commander shouted at the commanders to tell these fools to go back to their own positions.

The cavalrymen who distanced themselves from the formation adjusted their formation in a very short time, and once again they repeated their previous fighting style, once again blowing like a gust of wind towards the Jeb’s army’s formation, but this wind was wrapped with deadly blades, causing casualties to the Jeb’s soldiers every time they blew by.

The Yeboah army’s formation began to get looser and looser in the windy cavalry attack, the fear brought by instinct made the soldiers subconsciously want to stay away from the crowded place, because the crowded place will often become the priority target of the cavalry attack.

In the end, only a few rows of soldiers who had originally faced off against the opposing lancers were still barely holding their formation – these rows were also significantly better protected and more disciplined than the rest.

Seeing cavalry fighting for the first time, Lester clenched his teeth, he was scared to death, and put himself in the position of imagining how he would react to the enemy cavalry coming and going in a square of Jeb’s soldiers.

“Jeb is finished!” A sad, sobbing sigh rang out from the side.

It was the coachman who spoke.

At his indication, Lister looked in the direction from which he had come, only to see that black smoke after black smoke had risen in the distance from the city of Jeb.

It looks like the battle didn’t just happen here, has the city been let in?
“Sir, be thankful we were able to run out in time.”

He didn’t know how to comfort this cart driver who had already lost his home town.

Lister once again focused his attention on the nearby battle, where the cavalry of the church’s army had once again started charging.

However, this seemed to be the last impact, the cavalrymen did not restrain their wildly running horses, but let their mounts charge into the group of Jeb soldiers, because at this time, there was no longer a dense forest of guns in front of them, and the gap was so large that they could easily dodge it, and their lances were discarded on the ground as soon as they pierced an enemy, and then they drew out their one-handed swords to wantonly slash the Jeb soldiers around them.

Together with the several rows of disciplined soldiers in front of them, the Yeboah army was quickly killed in a big mess, and the whole army collapsed.

Many people dropped their weapons and ran wildly, trying to flee the battlefield.

However, these people were often quickly caught up by the cavalry and ended their lives with a sword.

The remaining soldiers who remained on the battlefield but no longer had any chance of winning also dropped their weapons, put their hands on the back of their heads, and either squatted or knelt on the ground, waiting for the enemy to dispose of them.

“Alas!”

Lister sighed quietly as he said to the coachman, “Let’s hide here for a while and wait for those people to leave before going out.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he heard a woman’s scream behind him.

The two were shocked, it was the coachman’s wife.

The coachman went crazy and immediately rushed towards the place where they hid the carriage before, Lister hesitated for a moment and also followed.

A picture that made one’s heart beat wildly appeared in front of his eyes, three soldiers with long swords were surrounding the carriage, and the coachman’s wife and child were hugging and crying together on top of it.

“Masters!”

The coachman flung himself on his knees.

He pleaded tearfully, “We …… are just ordinary people, ah, please let us go, all the lords.”
