My British Empire

Chapter 61 The Battle of Pink (3)

In less than two minutes, a quarter of the earl's light cavalry had been wiped out, and the Scottish casualties were three times that of the English.

But it was useless, the Scots were crushed by their numbers. As a result, the remaining cavalry united closely with Earl Wellington, working together to resist the Scottish cavalry, and waiting for the arrival of the heavy cavalry by the way.

The Scottish cavalry left a part and slowly surrounded the earl's group, leaving about 3,000 people to meet the slow heavy cavalry.

Duke Edward used light cavalry to rob Edinburgh last time. The Scots now have no intuitive impression of heavy cavalry. The only information they get is that it is very powerful.

So the Scots put up a big formation to meet the last heavy cavalry.

"Boom! Boom!..." An irregular voice came to the ears of the cavalry, and they could only see a row of monsters in iron armor and leather armor on their horses, walking heavy steps, leading A loud voice came running over.

Earl Allen, who was on the high ground, could see the heavy cavalry in the distance running with heavy dust, rushing towards the self-conscious cavalry with unstoppable momentum, the earl hurriedly ordered:

"Quickly ask the nobles to retreat first, and let the group of highlanders rush up!"

Looking at the fearful count, the attendants didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly gave instructions to the messenger.

In the Middle Ages, the nobility was the representative of the place where the king ruled. Obviously, the nobility was much more important than those barbaric highland warriors.

The messenger came to the heavy cavalry composed of nobles with the Lord Regent's password, conveying the regent's order.

The nobles saw the heavy cavalry getting closer and couldn't help but stepped on their mounts one after another, turned and ran to the rear in a hurry.

Seeing the nobles running back, the highland warriors started to make noise, shaking their shields constantly.

"What are you doing? The Lord Regent ordered you to support the cavalry at any time! Who dares to disobey the order, be careful of your own head!"

When the orderly saw the highland infantry gradually becoming chaotic, he couldn't help reprimanding them loudly.

Because of the absence of the tribal leader, even the warlike highland warriors would not contradict the order of the regent.

Slowly, the soldiers' attention was drawn to the situation ahead again, and the tense atmosphere could not help but eased.

The orderly's nerves relaxed immediately, he took a breath, and steered his mount back to the Regent's back.

The time seemed to be quite long, but in fact, it was only a short while before the heavy cavalry from England crashed into the Scottish cavalry who were waiting in full force.

A knight in iron armor all over his body, only the eyes under the iron mask can be seen, which looks cold, especially the round eyes, as if Satan from hell.

The cavalrymen in the front row were pushed down several feet by the long javelin, and the cavalrymen behind were also implicated and used as cushions. In just an instant, hundreds of cavalrymen disappeared into this world.

Then, the heavy cavalry continued to rush forward by virtue of inertia. The Scottish cavalry in front seemed to be frightened, and let them crush them. Many people stared wide-eyed before dying.

At this time, the Earl of Wellington and others saw that the front, which was full of cavalry a few breaths ago, was suddenly emptied, leaving only various rotten meat and severed limbs, and white brains flowing everywhere.

"Master Earl! Are you alright!" The leader of the paused heavy cavalry came out first and asked the stunned Earl.

"Oh! En! It's okay! Knights! Let's continue to kill the enemy!" The Earl stared at the knight with white brains on the armor in front of him, and was stunned, but he quickly reacted and issued an order,

"Follow your orders! Honorable Earl!" The earl's voice awakened the dazed cavalry behind him, and all the cavalry responded as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Soon, the situation on the battlefield was reversed. The Scottish cavalry who had just abused the English cavalry very happily, now seemed like a bereaved dog, letting the English cavalry with fewer numbers than themselves chase after them.

The cavalry ran around in a panic. Many people were either tripped and fell to death, or were hacked to death by the cavalry behind.

When the cavalry fled back to the rear of the infantry, there were only less than 2,000 of the 5,000 troops at the beginning, but after the statistics, the conclusions drawn were ridiculous. Much higher than those killed by English cavalry.

The failure of the cavalry duel was most likely caused by Earl Allen's miscalculation.

Since the Scottish monarch James IV was killed in battle with the English army at the Battle of Froden Fields on September 9 in 1513, Scotland has also withdrawn from the Holy Alliance War because of its defeat.

While Scotland and England have long maintained

Small-scale conflicts, while England has been fighting against France, it has learned the heavy knight style of France.

So, the unfamiliarity with the heavy cavalry led to the defeat of the cavalry.

The English cavalry flicked their tails, and returned to their rear with joy to cultivate.

Next came the confrontation of the infantry. The Scots set up a small buckler and walked slowly forward, while the English also sent out their own infantry.

The two armies approached slowly, and within five minutes, the infantry handed over shortly. With the ferocity of the highland warriors, the English were not only inferior to them in height, but also difficult to match in strength.

After a while, the English infantry in front were routed and rushed back to the infantry in the rear, disrupting the infantry's pace.

Seeing this, Duke Edward nodded to the leader of the longbowmen, and the leader immediately nodded in understanding.

Immediately, England's world-renowned longbowman began to show off.

England longbowmen generally have their faces and ears tightly wrapped with cloth, chains on their shoulders, leather cords and leather blocks on their wrists, protective leather sheaths on their finger joints, and short swords and leather pouches on their belts. They wear all kinds of armor, some of which are just a simple layered bodysuit.

Each archer carries 24 arrows, bundled and put into the quiver. When you run out, go to the supply caravan to get it. Most archers would rather carry arrows in their belt than laboriously place them in their quiver. Arrows can also be hung behind the back. When defending, they put arrows on the ground in front of their feet, which can be used more conveniently.

The three thousand longbowmen shot a round of sharp arrows in unison, and the highland warriors on the opposite side saw the flying arrows coming from the sky, and hurriedly raised their round shields.

Unfortunately, the shield was too small. Three thousand sharp arrows fell from the sky, taking away many brave warriors.

Can't bring it to the remaining fighters! An obliterated nightmare.

After ten rounds of volley, more than 1,000 English infantrymen were taken away, as well as more than 3,000 highland soldiers, and more than 5,000 soldiers were injured and unable to move.

Many soldiers protected the fatal parts, but were captured by the English because of their injuries.

Seeing the disastrous defeat of the Scottish army, the Lord Regent immediately gave the order to retreat regardless of his own mood, and fled in a hurry with the nobles.

Duke Edward saw the collapse of the Scottish infantry and shouted sharply on his white horse:

"The whole army is attacking! Go!"

Afterwards, the guard battalion rushed into the battlefield following the Duke, and the Earl of Wellington, ignoring his rest, led the cavalry to the battlefield again.

At this most intense moment, the Earl of Warwick is urging the logistics team to deliver food and grass.
