The charge of the Plate Knights is not a very simple matter. Before the battle, the Plate Knights on both sides did not wear plate armor all the time, armed with oak cavalry spears. Because, it would be very physically demanding.

Therefore, before the charge, the plate knights will not get on their horses, but on their horses. Even, some knights rode on the back of a mule.

Before the charge began, the knights, dressed in full-body plate armor, began to climb on their horses with the help of their attendants. Mainly, there were plate pants there, which seriously affected the flexibility of the knight. Without the help of an attendant, it was difficult to climb on horseback.

Back then, when Marin was kicked out of his house and became a wandering knight, the reason why he didn't wear plate pants was because he didn't; Second, it's because of the influence of plate pants. After all, Marin, who became a wandering knight, simply did not have the money to hire squires. There are no plate pants, and there is no need for an attendant to help him on horseback, and he is at ease alone.

But a regular knight will have an attendant to support his ass and help him get on the horse before charging. On the back of the horse, the servant in charge of the riding spear will hand over a brand new oak riding lance. After a round of charging back, unless the knight's airsoft has not experienced collision and combat. Otherwise, you will definitely have to change the one.

On the side of the Duchy of Mazovia, 2,200 plate knights, served by their attendants, mounted their horses one after another and took up the oak cavalry spears. And on the side of the royal army of Zygmundt I, the 1,000 knights who were responsible for decorating the façade also began to unhurriedly put on their armor, mounted their horses, and took over the oak cavalry spear......

However, unlike the "decisive battle" required by the army of the Duchy of Mazovia, the chief instructor of the knights of the Jagiellonian royal army, Yankel, is giving completely different instructions-

"Boys, remember, your mission today is not to fight the enemy's heavy cavalry to the death, but to lure them out!"

"We spread out and moved slowly. When they got close to the halfway line, they collectively rode their horses and turned around. Then, it was divided into two strands and withdrew at an angle of 45 degrees to both sides of our army's battle formation......"

In fact, this tactic had already been practiced by the royal army of Jagiellonian in advance. Yankel now brings it up again, but he is afraid that some people will be nervous and forget.

1000 Plate Knights against 2200 of the enemy, it was clearly unwise. So, Zygmunt I completely used the 1,000 Plate Knights as bait.

If the 1000 Plate Knights of the royal army do not come forward, the enemy's Plate Knights may also stand still. This was the usual rule in the battlefields of Eastern Europe - cavalry and cavalry duels......

As for the infantry, to be honest, in Poland and Lithuania it was exclusively in the role of a foil. Even, the infantry had to serve the knights. Just like before the battle begins, the squires who help the knights on their horses are the cameos of the infantry. Or rather, those knight squires, with their spears, are infantry...... The combat effectiveness of such infantry can be imagined......

But the Poles didn't care, they believed in knightly duels. Once the knights decided the winner, the infantry often didn't think much about fighting. Only when the two sides are tied, will the infantry become the decisive force for success or failure......

……

The 2200 plate knights of the Principality of Mazovia, led by Vazinsky's adjutant Belenev, slowly accelerated from 3 kilometers away and resolutely rushed towards their opponents.

On the side of the Jagiellonian royal army, 1,000 plate-armored knights who decorated the façade were under the command of the chief instructor Yankel, dragging and slowly accelerating, but the speed just couldn't be raised......

"We've won!" Seeing that his opponent looked "cowering", Belenev, the deputy general of the army of the Principality of Mazovia, was overjoyed. Knights hedge, the most chance to be timid. When the opponent does this, he is completely here to die......

But before their speed could be fully raised, the opponent's 1,000 plate knights seemed to be frightened, and they turned around collectively, split into two groups, and fled...... Ran away...... Escape...... Run...... Finish......

"What's the situation?" Berenev, who was speeding up, was a little confused. It was the first time he had seen such a cowardly plate knight, because generally speaking, knights would never run away for the sake of honor......

Even the commanders were like this, and the plate heavy riders of the Duchy of Mazovia were a little confused. Seeing that the enemy was divided into two groups, left and right, they didn't know which one to chase for a while......

"Chase the one on the left!" Berenev thought for a moment and ordered loudly.

Because, according to custom, the knights were armed with a gun in their right hand. Facing the enemy on the right, the knights are more combative. If the enemy is on the left, the rifle will be a little awkward and cannot be used.

However, it seems that the Polish hussars thought about the same as they were. Therefore, the lancers led by Lewandov, the first fierce general of the Jagiellonian royal family, appeared from the left side of the battle formation of the Jagiellonian royal family.

When they appeared in front of their battle formation on the left, the knights of the Duchy of Mazovia were turning their horses and charging to the right of the Jagiellonian royal army. It just so happened that the backs were left to the hussars......

……

"Don't miss the opportunity!" Lewandow, the commander of the Polish hussars, quickly ordered his hussars to raise their slender spring-loaded cavalry guns and begin to charge from behind......

"Take it! Come on! Kill all these traitors! Lewandov yelled.

"Kill all the traitors!" The hussars also roared.

As they accelerated, the bird feather wings behind them were dragged by the wind in the high-speed movement, and made a "sassy" whistling sound.

And the hussar's mask, which mainly protects the nose. But its shape is a bit like a hooked nose......

The rustling of the two wings in the wind, coupled with the hooked nose mask on the face, makes the hussars running have a sense of eagle victory......

……

"Not good! There are enemies behind it! All turn around and meet the enemy! Belenev was startled by the sound of the hooves of the horses, which were dense behind him and of different frequencies (the hussars were much lighter than the plate knights, so the horses ran faster, and the frequency was naturally faster). Looking back, I was even more surprised.

Then, the 2,200 plate knights of the Duchy of Mazovia hurriedly turned around, jerked their rifles, and began to slowly accelerate......

However, they accelerated too late. And the whistling hussars have already rushed up at speed......

……

By the time the Plate Knights of the Duchy of Mazovia had accelerated halfway, 4,000 Polish hussars had already rushed up like a tide......

To the despair of the knights of the Duchy of Mazovia, the 2.85-meter-long cumbersome oak cavalry lance in their hands was significantly shorter than the slender spring-loaded lance of the hussars, which was more than 4 meters long......

They stretched out their 2.85-meter-long rifles and made futile stabbing movements. But before they stabbed their opponents, their spring-loaded spears were already nimble at their heads......

……

"Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang......" A dull metal crash sounded, and the plate knights of the Duchy of Mazovia fell off their horses. Only a handful managed to dodge the conical tip of their opponent's spear with difficulty......

However, the full-body plate armor is too limited to the knight's dexterity, especially the heavy helmet that protects the neck, but also restricts the twisting of the neck. As a result, most of the Plate Knights failed to avoid it, and could only be knocked off their horses.

If the weapons of both sides are of equal length, they may be able to rely on their strong martial arts and arm strength to knock away the opponent's mounted spear and throw it at the opponent's head.

However, the difference in weapons between the two sides is too great. The spring lance is slender and slender, so it's very easy to steer and aim or something. Oak riding guns, on the other hand, were comparatively bulkier. If you want to get rid of the spring-loaded lance, you have to ask the hussars with the spring-loaded lance if they agree......

……

In this way, after a round of charge, the Duchy of Mazovia lost more than three hundred plate knights. After these plate knights fell off their horses, some of them were directly trampled to death and injured by the horses of their allies who could not stop the car. Those who survived were directly captured by the infantry of the Jagiellonian royal family. After all, the battlefield was close to the side of the Jagiellonian royal army......

When the cavalry of both sides staggered, and before Berenev could reorganize the counterattack, something happened that made him desperate - startling the horse......

……

Yes, surprised......

Horses are very timid animals, and although the courage of war horses is considered to be big among horses, it cannot change the fact that horses are timid.

These horses of the Duchy of Mazovia had never seen an enemy with bird feathers on their backs and masks similar to hooked noses on their faces. Far away the horses did not feel anything, but they were close enough, and some of the horses mistook the enemy's cavalry for the hunters of nature, the eagles in the sky......

Then some of the horses began to stir and began to run around like headless flies, neighing in terror from time to time......

Panic is a contagious emotion. When some of the horses were frightened, the horses of the rest of the Duchy of Mazovia were also restless and began to get a little out of control......

On the other hand, on the hussar's side, because the war horses drink this group of bastards in "fancy costumes" every day, they are not afraid. Only the war horses of the Duchy of Mazovia, because they had "never seen the world", saw the hussars for the first time, and they were immediately frightened......

……

Berenev loudly ordered the knights to restrain their horses, and if given enough time, perhaps they would be pacified. But will the opponent give them a chance? Inexistent......

"Hussars, charge!" Lewandov, who had regrouped into formation, once again gave the order to charge. The hussars were divided into seven batches in a squadron of 200 men in three waves, each wave of rivers and each batch at a distance apart, and launched wave after wave of attack frenzy against the enemy......

The plate knights of the Duchy of Mazovia resisted desperately, but because the horses were frightened, the formation was extremely chaotic, and they lost their charging speed.

"Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang......" Faced with an opponent without impact and confusion in formation, the hussars naturally had a great advantage, once again knocking hundreds of enemies off their horses......

The spring-loaded lance of the hussar was strange because of the spring cushioning. Despite the speed of the charge, the wrist damage to the hussars was minimal due to the cushioning of the springs. However, the powerful kinetic energy brought by the high-speed charge of the conical iron spear head has not diminished. Therefore, the plate knights of the Duchy of Mazovia were knocked off their horses, but the hussars did not have to throw away their rifles......

The original Polish hussars in history, because there was no spring cushion. Often after the charge, the spear pierced into the enemy's body, and it was too late to draw out, and the reaction force was too great. As a result, the original hussars often had to throw away their spears and draw their sabers to learn from the Hungarian hussars to slash and slash the enemy...... Therefore, the original hussars needed to be proficient not only in the use of cavalry spears, but also in the use of sabers. And with the spring-loaded lance invented by Marin, the cavalry spear was no longer a one-time consumable. Moreover, because of the conical head and the lingering complex, even if the head of the gun penetrates the enemy's body, it can be easily pulled out and continue fighting. There will never be a phenomenon where a spear pierces the enemy and cannot be drawn......

On the contrary, a small number of plate knights in the Duchy of Mazovia, realizing that the enemy was not wearing plate trousers, wounded several hussars in the legs with oak cavalry guns. But that didn't affect the overall situation, the Plate Knights of the Duchy of Mazovia, the defeat was decided......

By the time Berenev realized that the tide was turning, and he planned to flee back with the rest of the men, it was too late......

The horses of the Plate Knights carry a lot of weight, and their speed is naturally not as fast as the hussars, who carry much lighter loads. What's more, running away leaves the juniors to the faster enemy......

In this way, Varzinsky, the commander of the Duchy of Mazovia, watched as the 2,200 Plate Knights of the Duchy of Mazovia were wiped out before his eyes......
