This was a tragedy.
In just a short while, hundreds of knights from the South County noble alliance army hung on the forest of lances in front of the shield wall with their eyes wide open in fear.
They had thought that these infantry lances would be easily repelled by the four-meter-long knight lance in their hands.
After that, they would be able to ruthlessly break through the seemingly sturdy shield wall.
However, they had miscalculated.
These infantry lances were stuck in the grooves of the extremely heavy tower shields. Behind each tower shield, there was also a level 5 troop class, Swadian Sergeant, or a level 4 troop class, Swadian Footman, who used all their strength to fix the position of the tower shields.
With the strength of the knights, they were unable to shake off the foot soldier's lance that extended out from the tower shield for about four meters.
On top of the warhorse that was charging at high speed, there was simply no time for the cavalries to dodge.
Since they were unable to shake off the terrifying infantry lance, they could only be led by the warhorse beneath them to charge towards the infantry lance.
Within a short distance of four meters, under the charge of the warhorse's hooves, it took less than half a second.
The cavalries suffered heavy casualties.
Even the warhorse that had lost a cavalry could not stop its footsteps. It crashed into the shield wall at the front row of the South County noble alliance army.

"Boom!"
A dull, loud sound reverberated across the battlefield. It was terrifying intense.
These loud sounds were the sounds of hundreds of warhorses crashing into the shield wall formed by the tower shields of the Swadian Sergeants.
The wails of the warhorses echoed on the battlefield.
The shield wall formed by three layers of 'stacked shields' only trembled slightly when it was hit by hundreds of warhorses. However, it didn't show any signs of collapsing.
The three grand knights who were charging at the front had escaped a disaster.
They had extraordinary strength, which allowed their reaction speed to far exceed that of ordinary knights.
Although their strength was not enough to shake Swadian Sergeants' iron shields, they still managed to react with their speed.
They turned their bodies to the side, avoiding the sharp tip of the lance.
Although it was unavoidable for them to follow their warhorses and charge towards the shield wall, with their strength, they were still able to withstand the impact.
This was due to the good armor on their bodies and their quick reaction speed. They all turned their bodies in time and crashed into the ice-cold tower shields.
They felt the ice-cold tower shields that were only shaking slightly when they collided with their warhorses.
A trace of despair appeared in the hearts of the three grand knights who had barely escaped death.

The warhorses that fell at the front would become a stumbling block for the cavalries at the back. It would cause a chain effect, causing the warhorses at the back to stumble.
If the high-speed charging warhorse was tripped, then the cavalry on the warhorse would definitely end up in a miserable state.
They would be thrown away at an extremely fast speed and would usually fall to their deaths. Even if they did not fall to their deaths, their bones and tendons would definitely be broken.
The three grand knights were all qualified generals. This despair was instantly suppressed. Then, they gathered all the extraordinary strength in their bodies and roared crazily.
"Order: the 1st cavalry legion, all turn east!"
"Order: the 3rd cavalry legion, all turn west!"
"Order: the 2nd cavalry legion, follow the other two legions nearby, turn east or west!"
"Order: the 1st cavalry legion, all turn east!"
"Order: the 3rd cavalry legion, all turn west!"
"Order: the 2nd cavalry legion, follow the other two legions nearby, turn east or west!"
"Order: the 1st cavalry legion, all turn east!"
"Order: the 3rd cavalry legion, all turn west!"
"Order: the 2nd cavalry legion, follow the other two legions nearby, turn east or west!"
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})The three grand knights roared crazily, and the extraordinary power in their bodies was raging. They didn't care even if their bodies were covered in blood.
This made their voices drown out the galloping sound of tens of thousands of horses. Hundreds of thousands of knights and cavalries in the front row all heard their orders.
The charging heavy cavalries were separated by at least ten meters or even dozens of meters between each of the two warhorses. The 15,000 heavy cavalries were three to four miles long when they charged.
The dense formation of the North County noble alliance army made the shield wall not particularly long. It was only 200 to 300 meters.
After all, just the 600 Swadian Knights had surrounded the entire infantry formation.
At this moment, the cavalries that were originally in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th rows saw the miserable situation of the knights and grand knights in the 1st row, and they were already filled with fear.
When they heard the orders of the three grand knights, they immediately repeated the orders of the three grand knights loudly.
The cavalries in the front row of the 1st heavy cavalry legion shouted, "1st heavy cavalry legion, all turn east" and turned their horses to the east plain.
The cavalrymen in the front row of the 3rd heavy cavalry legion shouted, "3rd cavalry legion, all turn west!" and turned their horses to the west plain.
As for the knights in the front row of the 2nd heavy cavalry legion, they shouted, "2nd cavalry legion, follow the other two legions nearby, turn east or west!" Those who at the east part followed the 1st heavy cavalry legion and those who at the west part followed the 2nd heavy cavalry legion.
If the charging heavy cavalries wanted to slow down, they would need a long buffer distance.
Under such circumstances, such an order could not be given at will. Cavalry that did not slowdown in time would crash into horses that slowed down, causing them to suffer heavy injuries. If there were too many of such situations, it would definitely cause the entire army to collapse.
After the orders of the three grand knights were spread out, the three heavy cavalry legions split into east and west, quickly bypassing the North County alliance army's infantry formation and successfully leaving the battlefield.
Although there were still hundreds of cavalries that crashed into the sharp infantry lance of the North County alliance army and the ice-cold heavy tower shield, most of the heavy cavalries of the South County noble alliance army had managed to escape.
If the three grand knights had not given the order at the most critical moment, the fate of these knights would have been extremely miserable.
Although the heavy cavalry's formation stretched for three to four miles, for the charging heavy cavalry, this distance could be crossed in a few minutes!
