Chapter 327 Riding a spear is not as good as a horse lance

Daun's black-shirted knight was originally a decoy, although he was a light cavalry after taking off his armor, he did not run far, but deliberately hung this group of bandits and slowly retreated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the 8 bandit leaders did not dare to rashly cross the crowd and kill those black-shirted knights. Besides, they are heavy cavalry, and if they want to chase light cavalry, they may not be able to catch up.

The black-shirted knights stopped and reloaded their ammunition with each shot. Because of the short barrel of the carbine, it was also possible to reload on horseback. When the bandits approached, they rode forward a distance and loaded another carbine.

The bandits were so angry that they vomited blood, but they couldn't catch up. Moreover, chasing and chasing, not only did they get close to the woods, but the team also dispersed. After all, they are running at full speed, not slowing down in an orderly manner.

Halfway through his pursuers, Karn waved his mace and ordered:

"Remove the rope and prepare to attack!"

When the cavalrymen heard the command, they untied the loose knots of the ropes on their horses' mouths. The reason for this is that it is not enough to breathe through the nose when the horse is running, only by letting go of the mouth, it will not make it difficult for the horse to breathe and affect the charge.

After untying the rope from the horse's mouth, the neighing of horses suddenly sounded in the jungle. Several bandit leaders were taken aback and looked to the side. However, it was already too late......

"Raise your gun! Charge—"

100 Plate Knights, rushing out of the heavy woods. When I first rushed out, I couldn't let go of it because of the inconvenience in the woodland. But when they reached the level, the knights let go and charged.

"Ah, it's heavy cavalry!" The bandits were taken aback.

After all, it is a rabble, and if it was a well-trained army, it would have turned to the formation to intercept it at this time. Those bandits were stunned for a while before they reacted.

However, their reactions were mixed. Some shouted:

"Form a formation, stop their charge!"

And some people are shouting:

"The main force of the enemy army is coming, we are ambushed, run for your life!"

Then, the bandits were in chaos......

The leader of the 8 bandits from the wandering knight saw that since the other party had an ambush, he would definitely not be able to fight again. So, they gave a loud order, telling the soldiers to turn to the defense and fend off the charge of Karn's heavy cavalry.

However, many bandits had a blank mind at this time and did not listen to the command at all. Fortunately, there were more than 200 spearmen, who formed a battle formation to resist the charge of Karn's heavy cavalry. Moreover, those bandits who ran around also played a certain role in blocking Karn's heavy cavalry.

In this way, 100 heavy cavalry, led by Karn, slammed into the bandits......

"Bang Bang Bang

This is not the sound of muskets, but the sound of a riding gun breaking......

Immediately, in the bandit camp, there were bursts of screams.

After a round of charge, hundreds of bandits were stabbed with spears, some died directly, some were seriously injured, and they kept screaming.

However, the heavy cavalry side was not very good, and about 30 of them had broken their rifles and needed to go back to the forest to get new ones. Moreover, three unlucky people were directly stabbed off their horses by the spears of the bandits and fell heavily to the ground.

Fortunately, Karn found out early, drove his horse to the scene, and smashed the bandits who wanted to mend their swords, buying time for the other cavalrymen to save the three unlucky ones.

Seeing that Karn and his Zhong Qi soldiers had withdrawn to their rifles, the bandits seemed to have taken the opportunity to retreat to the stockade in the mountain pass. However, there was no such opportunity. Because, the black-shirted knights have already loaded all 5 carbines......

Daun was very smart, he didn't care about the ordinary bandits, but sent people to hunt down the 8 bandit leaders on horseback and kill their horses. In this way, the eight bandit leaders wearing tin cans were quickly surrounded by the black-shirted knights after falling off their horses.

Karn saw such a good opportunity, and did not wait for those who had changed their guns to admit it, so he directly took more than 60 of his men who had not broken their guns, rode their horses to the mouth of the valley, and followed the defeated bandits into the bandit camp that had not yet had time to close......

After entering the camp, Karn and the others dismounted, while the others abandoned their cavalry guns and drew their cavalry swords to fight, while Karn continued to smash with her mace. In a few moments, the camp fell into the hands of the knights. In the shouts of "surrender or kill", the bandits squatted down and surrendered with their heads in their hands.

Soon Marin took the scouts and the black-shirted knights to eliminate the enemies outside. Then, Marin took the rest of the people and strode into the cottage.

To Marin's disappointment, there was no gold or silver treasure in the cottage. Because, this mountain road is actually a relatively remote place, and there are few people coming. The reason why Marin and his party strayed into this road was because when they were asking for directions, they met a bear child and randomly pointed them out the wrong route, so they left the road and met this gang of bandits.

Moreover, in this battle, 3 guards fell off their horses and were wounded. It's not fatal, but it's certainly not going to be able to go any further.

In desperation, Marin had no choice but to hire a chamber of commerce in a nearby town and send them back to East Friesland to recuperate. After all, Mongolian doctors such as Mozhigen and Batel are the best at bruises. In this small town, if you meet a phlebotomy doctor, you may be able to kill someone.

This battle was also the first time that Marin had charged with a large-scale plate knight. The previous conquest of Laayoune was actually charged with a spear.

However, whether it was a riding spear or a spear, Marin didn't think it was good. Although the riding gun has a strong impact, it is easy to break. Once the rifle is broken, it has to be replaced, and it is impossible to fight for a long time.

As for the spear, it charged with it in your hand, and it couldn't be too fast. If it is too fast, the spear will stab the enemy, and the reaction force will be too great, and it will be easy to get out of the hand, and even cause the user's hand to be broken. Therefore, now Marin's 1,000 lancers have strict regulations on the speed of charge. It is no wonder that the wall charges of later generations are all jogging and moving at a high speed, not because they can't run fast, but because they are afraid of running too fast, after the cavalry sword stabs the enemy, the anti-shock force is too great, and the cavalryman's hand will be broken by shock......

Thinking of this, Ma Lin suddenly remembered a magical weapon in ancient China-horse lance......

Strictly speaking, the lance is also a weapon used to charge on horseback. Moreover, it can be regarded as the only long weapon suitable for a quick charge right away.

The reason why it is suitable for fast charging is that the shaft of the horse lance is specially made by craftsmen and has a high elasticity of the lance. When charging at the enemy, after the lance stabs the enemy, if the reaction force is too great, the lance will actively bend and deform to offset the huge recoil force. In this way, the horse lance, with its sharp and sharp head, killed and wounded the enemy. However, because of the flexural elasticity of the lance, the huge recoil force is counteracted, protecting the user from injury. So, in fact, the horse lance is a riding gun that can be used repeatedly. On the battlefield, holding a horse lance, it can continue to charge without the need to retreat and replace the gun after breaking the rifle.

Therefore, the horse lance of Huaxia is the best horse weapon of the heavy cavalry. However, although the horse lance is excellent, the production process is too complicated, and it takes more than a year. Its high cost and complex technology have been monopolized by military aristocratic families before the Tang Dynasty, such as the Guanlong military aristocratic group. Not only can ordinary people not afford to use it, but they also don't know how to make a horse lance.

After the Song Dynasty, with the improvement of the status of civil officials, the military aristocracy was severely suppressed. There is no place for the horse lance, and naturally, the production method of the horse lance is gradually lost. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, very few people knew how to make horse lances.

In fact, if the horse lance was used by European plate knights, it was very suitable. Because he can be used repeatedly, the knight's combat endurance has been greatly improved, which can greatly enhance the knight's combat effectiveness. As for the question of the cost of the lance, it was not a problem for those knights who had fiefs. After all, no matter how high the cost of the horse lance is, can it still have a full set of plate armor and war horses? A knight with a fief is completely financially capable of making a horse lance.

Moreover, Marin also knows the general steps of making a horse lance. It's just that many materials are unique to Huaxia, such as Zhemu (this can be substituted), lacquer and tung oil. Even if he knew the material, it wouldn't be a problem. Moreover, it is best to find a craftsman who can make horse lance. In this way, Marlin can make a batch of lances in batches for those lancers. With a horse lance that could be used repeatedly, the lancers did not have to constantly throw away their spears in battle, and drew their sabers to fight. Its attack ability will also be greatly improved. In this regard, Marin's desire to contact the Ming Dynasty became even stronger......
