Chapter 1346: Crazy Rush
The proportion of musketeers in the army of the North Sea State was high, reaching a quarter. The musketeers did not carry extra melee weapons, but they were charged with cold weapons. Fortunately, Marin's wheelbarrows were each equipped with 4 spears.
So, the musketeers removed their spears from the wheelbarrows in the front row, used them as weapons, and rushed forward with the spearmen. As for the wheelbarrow, it was overturned...... Anyway, this thing is simple to construct and low cost, so it's not a pity if it breaks. When the group charged, many of the overturned wheelbarrows were directly trampled on......
But Marin, while rushing forward with the army on a chariot with a moving turret, suddenly noticed that something was wrong - the enemy's light and heavy cavalry, as if they had gone mad, rushed all backwards and went straight to Steindorff's Third Army......
It turned out that Charlie, Earl of Geldon, who was also standing on the temporary arrow tower to watch the battle, carefully found that the army rushing from behind looked huge, but there were not many people. Moreover, the formation was somewhat scattered when charging.
If the infantry had caught up, it might not have been very effective. But if the Plate Knight rushes forward, he will definitely be able to defeat him......
Therefore, Charles, Earl of Geldon, after obtaining the consent of the two Dukes of Henry, immediately sent people to the flank, so that the light and heavy cavalry who were confronting the cavalry of the North Sea State could destroy the enemy behind first. As for the cavalry of the North Sea State on their side, leave him alone. It's a big deal, the loss is bigger. As long as the light and heavy cavalry of the coalition army can crush the army behind in one fell swoop, then the morale of the army will quickly stabilize......
Marin obviously saw it and guessed the other party's intentions. So, he was in a hurry...... After all, Steindorff was bluffing, not really awesome!
In particular, for the sake of bravado, Steindorff made the formation very loose. And this loose formation is especially suitable for cavalry storming and piercing. Once you are bumped into by an enemy knight, something big is definitely going to happen. So, Marin can't help but be in a hurry.
How to pin down the enemy's cavalry? Of course, cavalry is also used!
So, Marin asked his subordinates to take out the military horn, and the five trumpeters together blew a specific rhythm as an order......
Then, the black-shirted knight commander Durm and the Cossack cavalry commander Arthas, who were hesitating to pursue the departing enemy cavalry, heard such an order - cavalrymen, do not write at all costs, drag the opposing cavalry!
After this order was given, not only 2,000 black-shirted knights and 5,000 Cossack cavalry, but even 1,000 lancers belonging to the 1st Army Corps were all dispatched to pursue the enemy's light and heavy cavalry units......
……
Then, a fierce battle began in the cavalry before the infantry of the two sides made contact......
Both Durm and Arthas knew that this was not the time to show off their tactics. Only hard work is the only choice. If the main force of the Third Army is defeated, then the enemy's morale will be stabilized. So, this time they had to risk their lives!
So, Durm and Arthas led their cavalry, sparing no horsepower, and began to desperately pursue the enemy cavalry, which had already left early.
Then, the two cavalry formations staggered, with the black-shirted knights in front, to intercept the enemy plate knights. And the Cossack cavalry, on the other hand, followed closely behind, ready to cover at any time.
Seeing that the enemy cavalry was catching up, the coalition cavalry was also a little anxious. In particular, Baron Cross, who was ready to "charge to the death", was very anxious when he saw the black-shirted knight of the other party leaning over desperately.
The black-shirted knight's musket is powerful, he has already learned it. If they are stopped by the Black Mountain knights, then they will not be able to defeat the army behind them, and the tide of the battle will not be reversed. Therefore, he must lead the team to defeat the enemy behind.
However, he was not unaware of the power of the black-shirted knight's musket. So, he anxiously shouted to Hus, the commander of the allied hussars, who was not far away:
"Hus, get someone to stop those in black! We're going to fight hard, and we must not let them interfere with the knights' charge! ”
Huss glanced at the Cossack cavalry behind the musketeers on the opposite side with a complicated look in his eyes, and his heart was a little afraid. However, he also knew that there was no other choice now.
So, he drew his sword and shouted:
"Warriors, the time has come! Now, charge with me to the musketeers, and ignore the interference of the enemy hussars! ”
With that, he took the lead, turned his horse's head, and rushed towards the black-shirted knights who were chasing and intercepting the plate knights.
But Arthas had anticipated this, and when the allied hussars broke away from the main force and turned, the Cossacks, who had been behind behind, suddenly turned from the side and rushed to the front of the flank, heading straight for the enemy hussars who were heading straight for the black-shirted knights......
However, this time the charge of the Cossack cavalry was very dangerous. Because, instead of facing the enemy cavalry head-on, they rushed diagonally.
In the case of a head-to-head hedge, the two sides will end up staggering. Then, it was a competition to compete in the martial arts and riding skills of both sides at the moment when they staggered by. With the individual abilities of the Cossack cavalry, it was definitely superior.
And if you bump into it diagonally, it is not a competition for ability, but a competition for courage. Because, this is the scene of a car accident at all......
Someone else's horse is rushing forward, and you are rushing from the side. Even if you can avoid one of the opponent's horses, the enemy horses will crash into you. So, it's simply a brutal game of horse riding.
Therefore, most of the Ukrainian Cossacks, who were born in the steppes of Eastern Europe, were timid and unconsciously slowed down in the charge.
On the other hand, the German Cossacks, who were in the minority, were very obedient to orders, although they were small in number. When Alsace gave the order to charge at the enemy cavalry, these German Cossacks, who were not skilled in horsemanship, although a few hesitated, most of them did not hesitate to rush forward and crash into the enemy's horses......
Hus, the commander of the allied hussars, was taken aback when he saw this:
"These people are crazy? This is to be doomed together! ”
However, no matter how surprised he was, the Cossack cavalry rammed into him......
"Boom-boom-boom-" There was a dull crashing sound, and suddenly the battlefield was overturned.
"Yu-Yu-" The horses of the coalition hussars who had been knocked out let out a mournful roar. And the Cossack horses that hit them were not much better. With such a high-speed collision, both sides must have been seriously injured.
In addition, these cavalrymen on horseback also had a miserable end. Many people were thrown off their horses and rolled on the ground. Of course, this fall is nothing. The terrifying thing was that then a large group of cavalry stepped over their bodies, and most of them were trampled to death on the spot by the galloping horses......
In a short period of time, 300 German Cossacks, who did not want to die, rushed into the enemy position, created hundreds of "car accident scenes", and forcibly interrupted the opponent's charge. Then the charge of the enemy hussars was forced to stop......
Of course, these German Cossacks, who forcibly ran into the enemy, were also miserable, and half of them fell off their horses and were trampled to death by the enemy or friendly troops. Even the other half who survived, many were seriously injured......
However, their frenzied suicidal charge succeeded in curbing the coalition hussars from charging at the black-shirted knights, buying time for the black-shirted knights to intercept the opposing plate knights.
At the same time, the opposing light cavalry slowed down. In this way, those Ukrainian Cossacks, who did not dare to fight hard, but were proficient in horse warfare, had room to play - they began to chase down the hussars of the coalition army who had lost their speed. When it comes to slashing people on horseback, they are the experts......
