Black Iron Crown

Chapter 478: Knights Out

The light cavalry gave up their most powerful skills at present, and instead chose to charge directly at the enemy, which was also helpless.

The reason for this is that the damage caused by cavalry and shooting is so small that the enemy can even ignore the light cavalry directly, ignore them as a group of annoying flies, and go directly to support other troops.

It was obviously impossible for Leiner to let them do that, so it was only natural for the light cavalry to charge.

"shooting!"

Seeing that more than 700 light cavalry entered the range of the archers, the nobles shouted loudly.

More than 500 arrows flew out in an instant. Although it was not so easy to hit because of the speed of the horse, more than forty people still fell off the horse.

Baron Tillihan led thirty cavalry archers to the front. Arrows whizzed past his ears, but he still charged towards the enemy without changing his face.

His mission, his mission, the meaning of his existence is war, fighting for the Duke.

"Go to hell!" Baron Tillihan yelled loudly, tucking the spear in his armpit and rushing into the enemy formation.

Due to the haste, the enemy army did not form a tight formation, so Baron Tillihan did not suffer too much pressure.

The spear in his hand didn't break immediately, he only killed an ordinary soldier without any armor protection, not a fully armed knight riding on a war horse.

Piercing him wasn't very difficult, so the spear didn't break at all.

However, even so, he still gave up the spear, and it was impossible to pull it out and continue to use it after it was inserted into the enemy's body.

So he simply pulled out the sharp saber on the horse's back, and began to fly up and down, causing a bloody storm.

Beside him, there are thirty experienced cavalry archers, they are eagles from the Kujit prairie, and they are bloodthirsty wild wolves.

Each of them had at least ten years of combat experience before they successfully obtained the title of senior cavalry archer. The combat experience can be imagined.

In just an instant, the cavalry rushed into the enemy's formation, discarded their lances, drew out their sabers and began to hack and kill.

Faced with such an impact, the enemy failed to react, and the casualties were very heavy, but they quickly recovered from the chaos.

Although the veteran cavalry archers are powerful in combat, this is all based on their cavalry and archery skills. The melee combat skills are indeed not very strong, so they can only compete with some of Leiner's subordinates.

In addition, the horses under their crotch are also short, a head and a half shorter than the horses ridden by the Scarlet Griffin Riders, a height gap of more than half a meter.

The culture and settings of Kujit are close to the Mongolian Golden Horde, and the horses they ride are naturally small but durable Mongolian horses.

In order to maintain the endurance of the long-distance raid, these horses obviously did not have a strong impact. Although many enemy soldiers were knocked into the air at the beginning, as the queue deepened, their horse speed dropped at an extremely fast rate.

If it was the mounts of the Scarlet Griffin Knights, this would naturally not be the case. Their speed might drop a little, but then they would rely on the power of the war horses themselves to plow open the enemy's array alive like plowing the ground.

All the light cavalry rushed into the enemy formation, and at the same time quickly lost their horse speed, drew their sabers and fell into a bitter fight.

The light cavalry who had lost their speed fought extremely hard, and the infantry gradually surrounded them, and three or four men besieged one, appearing to be in a hurry.

Although they also have armor on their bodies, in order to maintain the physical strength of the horses and pursue endurance and speed, they only wear better quality leather armor.

Although the defensive ability of leather armor is good, it is not as good as iron armor in any case. Iron armor is still difficult to sustain under the repeated attacks of weapons, let alone leather armor.

As a result, a large number of casualties began to appear, and the losses of the light cavalry gradually increased.

Earl Lorrance took the time to glance at the battle situation here, and found that they hadn't defeated the enemy yet, so he couldn't help being a little annoyed.

But he has no choice but to hope that his central army can defeat the enemy's flank as soon as possible, and then go to flank the enemy.

At this time, the right-wing army of Leiner's side in front of them was fighting very hard, but even so, they still did not take a step back.

For cold weapon warfare, the advantages brought by armor are too great. Not only will it affect the casualty rate, but even morale will be greatly improved.

It takes a lot of effort for the enemy to kill a right-wing soldier, and it is even possible to be killed directly.

If the soldiers of the Right Wing Army want to kill an enemy, they only need to greet the opponent with the weapon in their hands.

Therefore, Earl Llorance couldn't help but feel a little anxious looking at the battle situation at this time. He found that although his military strength had a great advantage, the enemy seemed unable to be defeated in a short time.

He glanced at his flank, only to see where the battle was really difficult.

Sergeant Moreland in the front row and the heavy infantry of the Golden Lion Guard cooperated together, slaughtering the enemy like an efficient killing machine.

And Sergeant Moreland, if the spears in their hands were broken, they would draw out the long swords around their waists and go to the first row to cover the people behind them.

The battle here was quite easy. The battle started for more than ten minutes, but only four or five unlucky heavy infantry were killed in battle, and a dozen people were slightly injured.

There is no other reason, the armor on them is too thick and sophisticated.

Although the double-layer heavy armor plus leather armor and armed clothing made them bloated and slow in movement, it also brought them strong defensive capabilities.

If there hadn't been an accident, none of the four or five casualties would have occurred.

Winter's crossbowmen and archers continued to throw at the enemy from behind, and the enemy had no power to fight back at all, and could only be continuously covered by the rain of arrows.

Looking at the right wing that was on the verge of collapse, Earl Lorance frowned tightly.

He looked at the more than 800 knights who had been placed on the battlefield by himself, and he felt that it was time for them to come in handy.

"Order the knights to charge the enemy in front of us!" Earl Lorance said to the herald.

He did not intend for the knights to charge the flanks, that is, the enemy's center.

Because he clearly knew that the fighting power of those enemies was really frightening. If the knights were directly charged, who might be wiped out.

Combined with the previous performance of Leiner's army on the battlefield, Earl Lorrance finally recognized his true strength. He knew that the Arbor Day army of Grand Duke Leiner could not be defeated casually.

Now he just wants the knights to cooperate with him, and wipe out the enemies in front of him whose fighting power and strength are not as good as the enemy's central army.

In this way, all the left and right wings of the enemy will be wiped out, and you can encircle the enemy.

At that time, even if it is difficult to defeat the enemy in frontal combat, wheel warfare can always be used.

The knights who received the order from Earl Lorrance immediately started to move, holding up their lances and ready to move.
