Black Iron Crown

Chapter 663 The Collision of Light Cavalry

King Satli was very annoyed by such harassment again and again, but because he did not have an organized cavalry unit under his command, he could only vent his unnecessary anger furiously.

However, as the Karda cavalry who came to help in the battle, they volunteered and wanted to compete with these light cavalry in person.

They had heard in the camp of the Kingdom of Bukeden before that the army in the north was the strongest army on this continent, and they were also the best among the Kardas. They wanted to see , Is the number one strongest army on this land powerful, or their strong army of the Kardas is stronger.

Except for the one hundred "cleaner" cavalry who were all heavily armored and sharpened, among the remaining nine hundred cavalry there were two hundred heavy cavalry, and the remaining seven hundred or so cavalry were all They are all light cavalry with light horses and sharp swords.

After the last harassment was over, these light cavalry were dispersed among the three marching teams after informing King Satli.

When Tilihan harassed again, the group of Kaldha cavalry who had already prepared for battle instantly charged up like hunters seeing their prey.

Tillihan frowned slightly when he saw the opponent's appearance, and began to think in his heart, because this kind of cavalry looked familiar to him.

"My lord! They look like Sarandians!" a light cavalryman shouted to Tillihan while galloping.

Tillihan nodded slightly. Although these cavalry looked slightly different from the Sarandians, they were not much different in style. This group of people reminded him of those Sarandian cavalrymen who roamed across the desert.

Tillihan yelled, "Everybody turn around with me!"

As he said that, Tilihan turned his horse's head to the left. The distance between the two sides was about 300 meters, and he had enough time to turn around.

The cavalry archers and prairie cavalry behind ordered them to stop, turned around in an instant with superb riding skills, and followed Tirihan to the left.

At this time, the Karda light cavalry also increased their speed to the extreme after a while of trotting acceleration, and quickly rushed towards the moving grassland light cavalry.

It's not that Tilihan didn't dare to engage in a frontal battle with the Karda cavalry, but this place is too close to the enemy's infantry formation, and if he gets entangled with the enemy's cavalry, it is easy to be surrounded and wiped out by the enemy's infantry.

The horses of the prairie cavalry are very fast. In the past, the poor quality of the horses ridden by the prairie people was because there was not enough productivity to breed and train the horses.

The prairie lords under Leiner's command naturally didn't have this worry. They bought seeds and excellent agricultural tools from Leiner at a low price, and let the old people and women cultivate.

Although the output of crops is still not as good as that of the northern border in the purely farming area, it has improved too much compared to the chicken.

With enough productivity to feed the war horses, I purchased a certain number of stallions and local horse breeds from Leiner's horse farm. They have excellent endurance and good speed, and they are taller than grassland war horses and have good impact. Hussar horses appeared.

Although it is still not as good as the horses in Lehner's racecourse in terms of impact and load-bearing capacity, the victory lies in balance, and the speed, endurance and impact are not bad.

Their horses were fast, and the light cavalry who ran at the back shot dozens of arrows scatteredly.

But unfortunately, because of the limitations of the range and strength of the riding bow, and the riding and shooting skills of many people are not superb,

So there are only a few arrows that hit the target.

In addition, these Karda light cavalry were also wearing light armor mixed with scale armor and chain armor, so the attacks of these light cavalry did not cause any casualties to the opponent.

Tillihan glanced behind him from time to time, and then loudly ordered his subordinates to speed up.

They had already run hundreds of meters in just over a minute, and Tilihan decided to have a head-to-head confrontation with the enemy in a minute.

After running for a distance of nearly one kilometer, it would take at least ten minutes for the enemy infantry to catch up, and ten minutes is completely enough for the cavalry, a unit that comes and goes like the wind, and even battles are always at odds. Win or lose.

Seeing the enemy's infantry getting farther and farther away, Tillihan shouted: "Scatter the two teams! Turn around and attack!"

His shout was not obvious in the galloping cavalry, but the cavalry beside him also shouted together, but after a delay of more than ten seconds, everyone received the order.

Two hundred senior cavalry archers and three hundred grassland cavalry, a total of five hundred people were divided into two gallops in an instant.

As an experienced light cavalry commander, Tillihan knew very well that in such a chasing battle, it would be very difficult for the pursued party to conduct a hedge in an upright manner.

Once they slow down their horses and turn their heads, they will immediately face the enemy's merciless impact. While losing their horse speed, they will expose their backs to the enemy, and the fate is self-evident.

He ordered his subordinates to divide into two groups to force the opponent to make a choice, whether to choose to divide the troops or continue to pursue a certain group of enemies.

If they choose to divide their troops, their disadvantage in numbers will be even greater. The Karda light cavalry who chased them were only three hundred, and if they were scattered, they would be one hundred and fifty.

Two hundred and fifty men against one hundred and fifty, which magnified Tilihan's numerical advantage.

And if the enemy does not divide their forces, they can only choose one of them to continue chasing, while the other can free up their hands to prepare for battle, and even attack from behind the opponent.

Tillihan led the two hundred and fifty people without slowing down, watching the enemy's movements intently.

Sure enough, the Karda cavalry did not choose to divide their troops in the end, and a group of three hundred of them continued to pursue the cavalry where Tillihan was.

Tilihan smiled slightly, and continued to speed up his horse, as did the cavalry behind him, just hanging the Karda cavalry like this.

At the same time, another group of light cavalry reached the enemy's side after making a detour, and rushed straight into their formation.

In a hurry, the Karda cavalry had to give up chasing the light cavalry led by Tilihan, and instead set their targets on the enemies beside them.

The speed of Qingqi on both sides was so fast that they collided with each other in just an instant.

The horse spears in the hands of the prairie cavalry broke off one after another, and many of them took out their sabers to fight the enemy in close quarters.

Casualties on both sides were very heavy, and more than 80 of the 250 prairie cavalry fell from their horses in just one stagger.

Because the armor they wore was not enough to defend every part, the fierceness of the battle between the light cavalry was far greater than that of the knights. There was blood splattered everywhere, which looked extremely cruel.

The Karda cavalry seems to be more proficient in close combat, and their good horses are slightly taller than the grassland cavalry, and only slightly shorter than the horses produced in Leiner's horse farm, so they are condescending when fighting hand-to-hand , also occupying a slight advantage, only more than 30 people fell.
