In fact, even royal archers, who had to undergo rigorous training on weekdays, had about a quarter of the accuracy of their arrows.

This could have been even lower if the archers had been replaced by other units, but the enemy had gathered together in order to withstand the onslaught of the light cavalry, believing that the light cavalry was going to charge head-on.

This allowed the light cavalry's arrows to have such a record, otherwise, how could a salvo with a much lower hit rate than an infantry fire inflict such a large number of casualties on the enemy.

The total number of the enemy at this time was only nearly 200 people, and this round of arrows directly damaged one-third of the opponent's soldiers.

Although only about 20 of these people were directly killed, the remaining wounded soldiers were almost unable to fight, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

These soldiers were shocked by such casualties, they had faced such a situation there, the enemy's cavalry was so terrifying, that they inflicted more than sixty casualties on themselves and others before they could charge.

They suddenly had some commotion, and the originally tight formation began to loosen up a little.

"Dense formation! Dense formation! Steady! Hold it for me! The nobleman and several of his retainers shouted loudly with their swords.

The column commander of the hussars was a Loerdian, not a Checker.

He was able to become the commander of this group of light cavalry because he was so talented that he had been practicing riding eight years earlier, when William was already able to train in horsemanship in his domain.

Five years earlier, he had joined William's army as a royal infantryman, and was later transferred to the hussars as an officer because of his horsemanship.

Later, because William wanted to improve the quality of his officers, he opened an officer school, and he studied in this military school.

This military academy is located in Denlenburg, and now about 300 cadets graduate from here every year, all of whom are selected from the elite of the royal army before they can receive officer education.

Now William can proudly say that his army and even ordinary officers generally graduated from the officer cadets.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of William's army is definitely much stronger than it used to be, after all, the officers who have received officer education are definitely not weak in command ability, and can give full play to the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The trainee, who had received his education, was very good at the use of tactics, and he looked at the enemy's formation, which had begun to loosen a little, and immediately gave the next order.

"Follow me and keep shooting!" As he spoke, he turned his horse around, spared a circle, and turned to the enemies again.

The soldiers were shocked when they saw the light cavalry rushing towards them again, and the originally somewhat loose formation became even more chaotic.

With another round of arrows from the light cavalry, the enemy began to riot, but because the enemy's formation had become much looser, they did not suffer as many casualties as last time.

"Knights! Catch up with me! ”

The nobleman ordered a dozen of his knights to chase after him, and he was so angry that what little reason he had in his heart was overwhelmed by anger.

A dozen knights dared to pursue this light cavalry team of more than 100 people, and he was still too superstitious about the combat effectiveness of the knights.

After seeing this scene, the column commander of the light cavalry also smiled slightly, and said to several subordinates behind him: "The second team and the third team, drag these knights!" ”

It is not difficult for the light cavalry to rely on mobility to drag these knights, after all, the light cavalry ride the top excellent war horses on the road, plus William ordered people to carefully screen and feed, endurance and speed, size and impact are far superior to these knights' war horses.

Coupled with the light cavalry's superb horsemanship and combat skills, it was easy to hold these knights in tow.

Soon, the knights were dragged by two teams of light cavalry, and the light cavalry kept ** the knights with their riding spears, or ran quickly on the trend horses in front, and then shot backwards with their riding bows.

The enemy knights were overwhelmed, and no matter how much they urged the horses under their crotches, they could not catch up with the fast-moving enemy.

Just as the knights were dragged, the commander of the hussar column immediately took out the cavalry spear that was placed behind him and shouted to the soldiers in the rear: "Soldiers, charge!" ”

As he spoke, he held his spear and accelerated the speed of his horse to the fastest and rushed towards the enemy.

The light cavalry also took out their rear rifles one after another, followed closely behind the column commander with them on their chests, and urged their horses to rush towards the enemy.

Although the light cavalry did not have much armor, this did not mean that they lost the ability to charge the cavalry.

Many times they don't charge just because there are better options than charging, not because they can't.

When they take out their spears and sabers and engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, the enemy will know that this is a wolf-like force.

The sound of horses' hooves grew brisk, as their charge became more rapid.

The soldiers looked again in horror at the hussars who were rushing towards them, and they were horrified to find that their comrades were so far away from them.

The hussars roared into their loose formation, and one by one they were killed by the lances of the hussars.

The cavalry snapped, and the hussars quickly threw away their cavalry spears and drew their sabers at their waists.

The captain of the column took the lead, and the saber in his hand was just a wave, and with the blessing of the horse's speed, the saber became very powerful, and a head flew into the sky, bringing up a strong stream of blood.

Immediately after, he withdrew his saber and swung it to the other side again, and another stream of blood gushed out, killing two enemies in less than two seconds.

The nobleman's nearby army found out about the situation, but they were still on the sidelines to be on the sidelines.

After all, this is a coalition army, and if the enemy is too strong, he may bury himself in it, and no one wants to sacrifice their strength to save others.

It can be seen that the strength of the coalition forces this time is very loose, and there are still people who hesitate when their comrades are attacked in front of them.

However, they didn't really care, and many nobles sent a few sentinels to investigate the situation.

When they learned that the enemy had only a hundred light cavalry, they immediately sent knights to support.

Several nearby nobles all sent the knights, and there were more than a hundred people when they gathered together, and more than a hundred knights were indeed not something that the light cavalry could resist.

Of course, if it weren't for a frontal charge, the light cavalry could have defeated them by tactics and mobility, but now was obviously not the time, and if the enemy army gathered, they would obviously be surrounded here and all destroyed.

The light cavalry commander looked around, touched his nose, and twitched.
