Chapter 679: Complete Victory

Hearing this, the knights, who were no longer as agitated as they were just now because of the casualties, shouted again.

This time, however, the light cavalry unleashed another round of arrows, which only inflicted only seven or eight casualties on the enemy.

Although the hit rate is much higher, the armor on the enemy's body is not vegetarian, at least everyone can still do it with chain armor.

Riding a bow at a distance of thirty or forty meters is not so much damage, after all, their riding bow is a recurve bow, and the length is much shorter, which cannot be compared with the foot bow.

If the enemy is not lined with cotton armor and leather armor, it may be possible to penetrate the enemy's chain mail, but after lining leather armor and cotton armor, it will not be possible.

They only shot the men in the vital spot before knocking them off their horses.

In this way, the two sides were deadlocked for a while, and the light cavalry fired two rounds of arrows, causing more than ten casualties to the enemy again, and after these four rounds of shooting, the enemy fell about thirty people in total.

By this time they had already had the idea of retreating, and the speed of their horses gradually slowed down.

Seeing this scene, Varan also made a change, after all, he wanted to annihilate all these people here.

So he ordered his soldiers to slow down their horses again and keep the distance from the enemy at about ten meters.

This was a very close distance, and the gentleman enemy could clearly count the number of arrows in the quivers of the light cavalry as long as they looked ahead.

This distance directly made the enemies happy, they thought that the war horses of the light cavalry had long been exhausted, but they kept urging to maintain that speed, and now their war horses could no longer bear it.

In this way, their original intention of retreating suddenly began to become lively, and after annihilating these enemies, the casualties were nothing.

In this way, they once again quickened their horses and chased the light cavalry, and although their horses were beginning to pant a little, they believed that the light cavalry was in worse condition than they were.

In this way, another round of arrows came down from the light cavalry and shot into the enemy's formation.

This time the enemy's casualties were much greater, directly losing more than ten people, although some people were lucky enough to be shot by arrows and did not die, but if there was no rear bridge in the saddle, I am afraid that they would have been shot off the horse's back.

The knights were also unimpressed, and although the light cavalry under command felt very strange, they did not realize what was wrong.

In fact, the biggest mistake they made was to misestimate the quality of the horses produced in the two counties of the steppe.

Another round of arrows fell, and more than a dozen knights fell off their horses, but this time the knights in command could not stand it any longer, and immediately gave the order to retreat.

Jokes aside, by now they had only about sixty men left, and they had suffered a full forty knights, but they had not touched a single hair of the enemy.

The knights slowly slowed down their advance, preparing to turn around.

And Varan also discovered the enemy's intentions, ordered the soldiers to stop, and then prepared to turn around and fight.

After all, there were more than sixty of the enemy left, and their equipment was even better than these knights, and they were not afraid to charge head-on.

However, Varan still made a battle plan, and he did not want too many casualties among his men.

"Split the formation in half before making contact with the enemy, brush the edges of their troops, and knock them off their horses with the advantage of the length of their mounted guns!"

Varan shouted loudly, "Did you hear me?" ”

"Understood!" The hussars replied loudly.

Although there were quite a few Cheks in it, over the years of assimilation, they were able to speak Lorde more fluently than in their native language.

His order was quickly carried out, and the hussars gathered together, slowed down, turned their horses, and headed toward the enemy.

And those knights were also happy in their hearts after seeing the light cavalry dream of you turning, they thought that these light cavalry were looking for death, and they used the light cavalry to fight against the knights, and they definitely felt inflated about their combat effectiveness because of their previous advantage.

Although these knights saw the armor of the light cavalry that was not inferior to them, or even better, they still did not think that these people could compare with themselves.

After all, he is a powerful knight who has been trained since childhood, and the enemy does not seem to have been trained since childhood, whether in terms of combat style or combat skills.

After all, their "cowardly" way of fighting does not look like a knight at all.

"Assemble! Get ready to charge! These pigs want to confront us head-on! Let them know what a knight is! ”

The commanding knight shouted as he drew his knight's sword from his waist.

The knights raised their swords one after another, waiting for the upcoming hand-to-hand combat.

The light cavalry gradually ran, they held the three-meter cavalry spear in their hands from behind, pointed ahead and prepared to charge, and the knights also increased their horses and stopped turning.

Although the knights saw the cavalry spears in the hands of the light cavalry, they did not pay attention to them, and they did not think that these damned "cowardly" enemies could inflict much damage on themselves with their cavalry spears.

The knights rushed towards the enemy with their heads bowed, and now they had only one thought in their minds, which was to crush the enemies in front of them.

Only by tearing their corpses apart and leaving them in the wilderness to be devoured by predatory beasts can they be relieved of their hatred.

The short distance of 100 meters is very short for a cavalry, just five seconds, and the two sides came to the other side.

The knights had raised their swords and were ready to "slaughter" these enemies who did not know whether they were alive or dead.

At this moment, the light cavalry suddenly split their formation, diverted to both sides of the knights, and aimed their cavalry guns at the knights in front of them.

The knights originally put up a wedge formation and prepared to chisel through the formation of the light cavalry in one fell swoop, but who would have thought that they and others would really "chisel through" the enemy.

The enemy parted without resistance, and while they were still rejoicing, the knights in the front row found that there was no one in front of them.

Behind them, there were suddenly bursts of screams and falling horses.

These knights fell from their horses in an instant, and the light cavalry, due to the length advantage of their rifles, did not come into contact with the enemy and suffered no casualties.

In this way, the light cavalry relied on this "edge ball" to inflict many casualties on the enemy, and they did not engage in a frontal confrontation with the enemy at all, but relied on the mobility of the war horses to constantly kill and injure the enemy.

"Damn it!" The knights shouted loudly: "You damned pigs, if you have the ability, fight us head-on, don't dare to fight us like a marmot with a head in your arms!" ”

But the hussars did not pay any attention to their shouting, and continued to inflict massive casualties on the enemy.
