The muskets used by the black-shirted knights were different from those used by the infantry musketeers, and in order to facilitate immediate use, the barrels were generally shorter, less than 50 centimeters. So, its range is also affected.

For this reason, the black-shirted knight had to go to a distance of 50 paces before firing in order to ensure a hit. But even then, at a distance of 50 paces, the carbine hit less than half.

However, they can't get too close either. After all, their opponent was the Plate Knights, the highest group of individual martial arts in Europe. If you get too close and accidentally catch up, you will definitely not be able to beat your opponent.

Therefore, the general black-shirted knights will come up to pick up the bargain when the plate knights are tired and can't run. Because, at this time, the knight's horse stopped. Even if the Plate Knight wants to accelerate, it won't speed up immediately because of its own weight. The black-shirted knights, on the other hand, approached the hussars, accelerated faster and could escape in time.

Of course, this tactic is only useful for the Plate Knights. If you face the opposing light cavalry, it will have no effect. Because, the opposing light cavalry accelerated quickly, and they did not have time to escape. In addition, this move is also effective against infantry without ranged weapons. After all, the infantry will certainly not be able to catch up with them.

The black-shirted knights in the front row, with a total of 300 men in two squadrons, saw them take out a loaded carbine from their left purse, hold the gun in both hands, and aim it at the coalition knight on horseback who was resting......

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-"

After a dense burst of gunfire, about a hundred coalition knights were hit by buckshots. When the plates on their bodies were hit by buckshot, there was a dull crashing sound of "bang-bang-bang-".

Then, dozens of plate knights were probably injured by the impact of the bullet, such as breaking their ribs or something, and they all grunted and fell from their horses.

Although these Plate Knights who were shot were not in danger of their lives because of the super protection of the plate armor, they also lost their combat effectiveness because they were injured by the impact of the lead bullet.

Baron Cruise grew his mouth in surprise - what tactic is this? Didn't the cavalry rush forward and cut people? How can there still be people on horseback who shoot people with muskets? Really...... It's really obscene......

……

But he didn't have time to sigh, for the black-shirted knights in the front row did not stop, but threw the muskets into the leather bag on the right side of the horse's back, and then took out another loaded clockwork carbine from the left leather bag......

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-"

After a burst of gunshots, more than a hundred knights were shot, and then dozens of knights were wounded and fell off their horses......

……

Baron Cross finally reacted - grass, it's not okay to be beaten like this!

So, he loudly ordered his men to charge, intending to catch up and kill the group of obscenities......

However, they had just begun to accelerate, and the black-shirted knights on the opposite side also stopped firing. Then, the three hundred black-shirted knights in the front row suddenly split into two strands from the middle and ran to both sides. The black-shirted knights behind also turned their horses' heads and began to run......

In this way, the knights of the coalition army chased in vain, and their horses sweated even more, and had to stop again to rest......

Then, the obscene black-shirted knights leaned in again and continued to fire......

……

After tossing and turning like this a few times, Baron Cross was horrified to find that the more than 3,000 plate knights he led had actually lost more than 500 people......

"No, I have to withdraw!"

Reacting to this, he immediately ordered all the coalition knights to turn around and return. However, as soon as they turned around, the black-shirted knights, who were obscene kings, became even more energetic - they bit the tail of the coalition knights to death, and before the ammunition of the five carbines was exhausted, they inflicted more than 300 wounds on the coalition knights......

……

At this time, Charlie, Earl of Geldon, who turned his gaze from the front to the back, suddenly said in horror:

"I remember, this is the most notorious cavalry hooligan in the North Sea Country, the Musketeers (he doesn't know the official title of the Black Shirt Knight, only that there is such a class), they are the best at fighting heavy knights!"

Henry, Duke of Lüneburg, Brunswick, asked irritably:

"Is there a way to deal with them? The tactics of these cavalrymen are so shameless that there is simply no glory at all! ”

The Earl of Geldon thought for a moment and said:

"It seems that the light cavalry can be used to deal with it, the light cavalry is fast, they don't have time to stop shooting, they don't even have time to stop and load, they can only be chased around!"

"Okay, then hurry up and all the light cavalry, including the light cavalry for reconnaissance, to pursue this group of shameless people!" Braunschweig - Henry, Duke of Wolfenbüttle, ordered decisively.

Then, in the coalition army of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms, all the light cavalry, even including the communication troops, were organized, and a total of more than 4,000 light cavalry were raised.

Then, the more than 4,000 light cavalry, led by Hus, the chief of the court guard of the Duchy of Lüneburg in Braunschweig, brandished their sabers and accelerated towards the black-shirted knights.

……

In the face of more than 4,000 enemy light cavalry roaring in, the black-shirted knight commander did not panic at all. He led his men to retreat leisurely, came to the side of the Cossack cavalry corps that had been beating soy sauce just now, found the Cossack cavalry corps commander Arthas, waved his hand and said:

"It's your turn, Lord Arthas!"

In fact, in the face of more than 4,000 light cavalry on the opposite side, the black-shirted knights were not unable to fight, but not worth fighting.

The light cavalry on the opposite side is a ragtag army put together by various countries. Some of the light cavalry, who were signal soldiers or scouts before, were not very familiar with cavalry group charges. Worse still, they were village sheriffs (policemen) or postmen recruited from their own countries by the princes of various countries before the war.

In the face of such a motley light cavalry, the Montenegrin knights, even if they did not use muskets and sabers, were not without the strength to fight.

But, Durm knew - it wasn't worth it!

Although the black-shirted knights are also from commoners, they are also carefully selected. Their unique skill is to skillfully put the gun on the back of a galloping horse and shoot it back......

This skill of shooting on the back of a galloping horse is very talented. Therefore, Marin only picked out the size of 2,000 people, which were specially used to fight the opposing plate knights.

If the opponent is not the Plate Knight, Marin will not allow the Black Shirt Knight to attack casually. Unless, encountering the kind of infantry phalanx that has no ranged weapons, the black-shirted knight can go into battle.

Therefore, in Marin's eyes, these black-shirted knights who are good at "riding and shooting" belong to treasures. Since it is a baby, how can it "touch porcelain" with rags? Even if the black-shirted knights could defeat the more than 4,000 miscellaneous cavalry on the opposite side, I am afraid that they would suffer huge casualties. Even if he wins, Marlin will skin him afterwards.

Therefore, when Durm saw the motley black-shirted knights rushing over, he directly and decisively threw the pot and gave the opportunity to the Cossack cavalry. Anyway, the Cossack cavalry had 5000 people, which was already more than the other side. Moreover, the Cossack cavalry had been training together for a long time and were more adapted to the operation of large corps.

And Arthas was also in need of a victory to strengthen his position, so he drew his command knife and commanded loudly:

"Warriors, lift up your spears and show me your courage and faith!"

After Alsace spoke it in German, he shouted it again in Kievan Rus' (later Ukrainian), so that the genuine Ukrainian Cossacks would not understand.

And after listening to Alsace, the German Cossacks and the Ukrainian Cossacks reacted very differently -

The German Cossacks, who were in the minority in number, after listening to the pre-war mobilization of Alsace, raised their spears and shouted in unison in German:

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

And the group of Eastern European Cossacks from the Ukrainian steppe, following the style of the Crimean cavalry, suddenly howled wolf -

"Woohoo! Kill them all! ”

……

Seeing that the atmosphere was coming up, Arthas didn't talk nonsense, and directly waved his knife down, shouting at the same time-

"Cossacks, charge!"

The Cossacks, who had received the order, rushed forward with their spears and screaming......
