Chapter 320: Crushing

The aura of slaughter filled the perimeter of the walls of Issamdenburg, and the hussars, with a haughty roar, followed behind Urimu and charged in the direction of the enemy. Fastest updates

William was not worried about this war, because in his opinion, the outcome of this battle was decided, and there was no suspense.

Although the enemy outnumbered him, William never thought that they could defeat him, not to mention that the enemy's regular army was far inferior to his own, even if their regular army was more than his own, William was not afraid of them.

With his 400 knights and 300 heavy cavalry, plus 700 light cavalry, including the army of Hulimu, William was confident that he would not have to pay too much to defeat the enemy.

William asked Hurim and his light cavalry to harass the enemy first, mainly with the intention of making their already untidy formation even more chaotic.

In the face of the blow of the light cavalry's bow and arrow, even if those soldiers are wearing shields, it is not without danger, in order to defend against the damage of arrows, naturally, they will gradually lose their formation.

As light cavalry, they do not need to charge the enemy's formation like knights and heavy cavalry, nor do they need to hedge with the enemy's cavalry strength, so the speed of the charge is not high.

The light cavalry followed the Hurim and charged towards the enemy at a constant speed that was not too fast, but at that moment they suddenly changed direction and ran to the left of the rebellious aristocratic army.

This is one of the most common tactics of light cavalry, or archers, in which the cavalry faces the enemy with the largest side of the cavalry, and then shoots at the enemy from the side.

In addition to this, there is also a common tactic to charge head-on, then rush to a place that is not too far away from the opponent and make an emergency U-turn, then shoot a round of arrows, and then move away.

This tactic can deal a major blow to the enemy's morale and, after repeated use, can also deceive the enemy, making them think that they will not charge, and then charge again to catch the enemy by surprise.

Of course, this method requires more riding skills and is more dangerous, and of course, the Chekers can control this tactic, but it is not a time of life and death anyway, so Urimu did not use this tactic.

"Whoosh!"

There was a sound of arrows breaking through the air, and seven hundred arrows pierced the air and landed in the ranks of the enemy.

Since it was a roundabout formation, there was no situation where the cavalry at the rear did not have enough range to shoot, which was a point of superiority over charging shooting.

More than 800 arrows fell into the enemy's array, which immediately caused a scream, and many people did not completely defend against the arrows because of the improper use of their shields, so that the arrows fell on their bodies.

However, despite this, there were no casualties, and no one died except for the vital injuries of being shot in the neck and cheek.

Instead, the armor on his body cushioned most of the lethality, and did not shoot much.

Only a few dozen of the conscripts were killed due to the lack of armor of the serf class inside, and in addition to that, less than a hundred died.

Looking at such a result, Hu Limu was not angry, after all, the range and power of a riding bow are far inferior to a foot bow, and the same is true for other weapons, whether it is a spear, a bow and arrow, or a long sword scimitar, it is not as flexible and easy to use on the ground.

With such a result, it can only appear with the recurve composite riding bow that was specially improved by William, and if the previous horn bow is still used, it is estimated that the damage will be smaller.

And you may also have to face the blows of enemy archers, after all, the range of the angular bow is not even as long as the hunting bow used under the horse, not to mention the standard bow and arrow that the Earl of Canswell equipped his archers with.

Now William should be glad that there were no such advanced bows and arrows in this area, and if there were bows and arrows as advanced as those of the Piars, this kind of kite tactics of archery would be almost impossible to achieve.

The bow and arrow, which has a range longer than the recurve composite cavalry, will teach them how to behave before they can release their arrows, and before they can release them, they will be knocked down by a powerful wave of arrows from the enemy.

In this way, the archers continued to fire arrows at the enemy under the leadership of Zailimu, causing the enemy array to scream.

"Ahh Damn it! I've been shot! ”

An armed infantryman with a shield and sword in his hand and fine leather armor screamed, then groped his lower abdomen.

There was an arrow that had been submerged four or five centimeters into it, and from the depth, it was speculated that this arrow did not penetrate too deeply, and it pierced a layer of epidermis and muscles, and did not penetrate deeply.

But even so, the pain it brought still made the armed infantry feel very painful, and it made him cry out in pain.

With the help of his companions, he finally pulled out the arrow inserted into his lower abdomen and took a simple measure to stop the bleeding.

"Thank you, damned enemy, they are too cowardly to fight us head-on!"

The soldier spoke, and an old armed infantryman beside him, who looked to be in his mid-thirties, had some gray hair, and had begun to wrinkle his face.

"Yes, their methods of warfare remind me of the Kriza, ten years ago I was visited by the Kingdom of Riborn with Lord Earl, and I happened to encounter a small invasion of the Kriza, and their tactics are almost no different from the tactics of the current enemy!"

Listening to the words of the veteran, a flash of fear flashed in the eyes of these soldiers, although they had not fought against the Kriza, but the strength and cruelty of the Kriza people's combat effectiveness had also been heard.

It is inconceivable that now the enemy has mastered the tactics of the Krizas.

"Damn it! The enemy's cavalry is so hateful, they don't even charge, it's just a bunch of cowards! ”

The Earl of Cansville said angrily as he watched the hussars in the middle of the queue as they kept firing in a roundabout way.

The soldiers were also suppressed and couldn't raise their heads, and the armed infantry was better, and the armor on their bodies could have a good defense against arrows.

The most bitter thing is the serf conscripts, they are different from the citizen conscripts, they don't even have a little bit of protection, at least most of the citizens can have an armed shirt or cloth armor, and better also leather armor, but they can only use linen clothes to resist arrows.

Ten minutes passed like this, and he noticed that the war horse under his crotch was a little panting, and he knew that the war horse had begun to become tired.

As a cavalry commander, it is very important to keep an eye on the condition of your horses.

"Follow me!"

As soon as all the hussars heard it, he changed direction, then made a turn and ran towards his own camp.

In ten minutes, the light cavalry fired nine rounds from their horses, and more than 6,000 arrows landed in the enemy's camp.

It caused more than 700 deaths to the enemy, but there were no casualties, which can be called crushing!
