The servants came back and told Lord Hartman what Li Ziyu had said to them, adding some exaggeration.
"What?! Did he really say that?!" Hartman's anger was rising, and he could no longer suppress his anger. His face flushed red under the visor and he asked loudly.
"Yes! He doesn't take you seriously and told you to start a war quickly." The servant replied with his head down.
"Damn it! Damn it! How dare he! I'm the lord, the most distinguished noble in the Kingdom of Leon, and he actually dared to look down on me!"
"Pass my order, start the war! Let the knights crush them!"
Hartmann roared loudly, waving the knight sword in his hand, looking crazy and funny.
The attendants hurried to pass on the order, and the army contacted by Lord Hartmann began to move, and the cavalry moved forward, preparing to charge.
After Li Ziyu returned to the Giant Elephant Fortress, he also gave orders, asking the Skeleton Knights and the Black Warriors to move forward.
The firepower of the mechanical skeleton undead is strong enough. If they are allowed to pass, the enemy will probably die before they can even reach the front of the formation. However, their disadvantages are also great. In the absence of the Undead Castle, their ammunition cannot be replenished. Once the ammunition is exhausted, their combat effectiveness will drop significantly.
Comparing the two, it would be better to let the Skeleton Knights and Black Warriors who are accustomed to fighting with cold weapons to deal with this battle.
After accumulating for so many days, the total number of Skeleton Knights and Black Warriors has reached nearly two thousand.
In terms of numbers, Lord Hartman's army had 20,000 people, while the Undead only sent out 2,000 people, a ten-fold difference.
But in terms of quality, they are completely crushed. Not to mention their cavalry, their infantry is just a bunch of chickens and dogs with low combat effectiveness to the Black Knights.
The black warriors were simply arranged into two rows, with a space in the middle. Behind them were the skeleton knights ready to go. The formation was extremely simple.
Lord Hartmann's coalition forces moved slowly, the infantry were moving forward, and the cavalry had already begun to ride, preparing to charge.
Tap tap tap...
The heavy cavalry team composed of noble knights left the camp. The horses slowly increased their speed, and their hooves stepped on the ground, causing it to vibrate slightly.
The infantry arrived at the designated location at the same time, took out their bows and arrows, and fired a rain of arrows at the black warrior's line.
"Hahahaha... these idiots, don't they have any archers?" Lord Hartman looked from afar and found that the other party had only sent out heavy armored infantry and a small group of knights. He couldn't help laughing out loud.
When knights charge, they must have cover, and archers are indispensable. But looking at the enemy's appearance, there is no long-range attack force.
In his opinion, this wave of attack from his own archers could take away a lot of heavy armored infantry.
No matter how thick the armor of heavy infantry is or how tight the defense is, there are still gaps. Stray arrows will shoot in through these gaps and kill the people inside.
Without ranged troops to fight back, wouldn't the archers be able to shoot arrows recklessly? The enemy already has fewer people than their side, and if they were killed or injured by the rain of arrows, they would definitely lose.
The noble heavy cavalry's horses were constantly accelerating, and the knight's lance had changed from an upright position to a straight position, aiming at the enemy in front.
The charge of the heavy cavalry was shocking. It was a torrent of steel, giving people the feeling that any enemy in front of it would be pierced and torn apart.
On ancient battlefields, heavy cavalry was equivalent to tanks and was unstoppable.
The Kingdom of Leon relied on heavy cavalry to obtain its current territory, so it attaches great importance to noble knights.
Unfortunately, their opponents this time are different from usual ones, they are the undead.
The Skeleton Knights only took action after the heavy cavalry had gone halfway and their horses had begun to accelerate.
A faint blue flame rose from the soul warhorse. Without neighing, the Skeleton Knight simply pulled the reins, and the warhorse immediately spread its hooves and galloped out.
They don't need to walk their horses like human knights. As undead warhorses, they can directly run at high speed and accumulate energy while running.
The Skeleton Knight looked down on the heavy cavalry charging towards them, and was even too lazy to charge at the same time as the enemy. He waited for the enemy to speed up before launching an attack.
The skeleton knights riding soul warhorses were wrapped in soul flames one by one, leaving a path of flames on the ground. Although their number was completely disproportionate to that of the noble heavy cavalry, their momentum was even more overwhelming!
Lord Hartman was stunned by the cool performance of the Skeleton Knight during the charge, and his blood began to boil.
In his eyes, it was the Iron Torrent under his command versus the Blue Flame Knight Legion!
He just likes this kind of scene. The knights' charge is a man's favorite!
Charge, my knights, crush them and show the style of our Leon Kingdom's heavy cavalry!
Lord Hartman, sitting on his horse, straightened his body and roared in his heart.
Countless arrows rained down from the sky, landing on the black warrior camp and the charging skeleton knights, covering the charge of their own heavy cavalry.
Finally, in the eyes of both sides, the Iron Torrent and the Blue Flame Knight Legion collided with each other.
It wasn't the fierce battle or stalemate Lord Hartman had imagined, but rather it was like a red-hot knife cutting through butter...
The skeleton knight, his body burning with soul flames, rushed through the noble heavy cavalry without any hindrance, directly breaking through the enemy's cavalry formation, leaving a long line of fire, like the most gorgeous flower blooming on the battlefield.
Compared to the heavy cavalry who were thrown to the ground, the skeleton knights were completely unharmed. They rode their horses and charged forward at the same speed. They were about to reach the infantry, and the fear in their eyes could be seen clearly.
