Chapter 213 The Iron Rider Drinks Hatred
Half an hour passed quickly, and seeing the lights on both sides of the square slowly dimming, everyone hurriedly returned to their previous positions as fast as they could, and sat down next to the people they knew before. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The same well-armed cavalry, the soldiers on horseback still wore fine and sturdy armor to protect the vital parts of the body.
The cavalry depicted on the picture are almost all one-man and two-horseed, with several throwing spears stuck in a bag hanging on the right side of the horses, a spear hanging next to it, and a delicate bow and arrow on the left.
After the first two hours of war, the people in the square probably already knew the role of these weapons.
When the cavalry charged, the knight could take advantage of the high speed of mobility and throw the spear far into the closely packed infantry formation.
In the face of this attack, the infantry army formation does not seem to have any effective way to defend, and even some ordinary leather shields cannot block these sharp throwing guns, so they can only rely on the disturbance of the spears, hoping to be able to push away these throwing guns.
However, even if these spears are dislodged by the spears, they still cause damage to those around them, and almost every spear takes a life.
If there was no corresponding cavalry sweep, the infantry phalanx would have almost no share of being beaten.
However, in the cavalry battle, the pursuing side is at a disadvantage, as long as the other people have enough horsepower, without forming an absolute numerical and geographical advantage, it is almost impossible to annihilate these particularly powerful cavalry.
Moreover, in the process of pursuit, you have to be distracted to prevent oncoming arrows, which is inevitably a little constrained, so there is an ancient saying that poor Kou Mo chases, because chasing down will not get any benefit, and he may also put himself in danger.
If these cavalry scattered and fled, the pursuers would not dare to divide their troops, because once they were divided, it would be easy for these cavalrymen who seemed to be fleeing for their lives to seize the opportunity to eliminate them one by one.
This kind of tactic can be seen in many of the previous pictures, and it can be regarded as a good lesson for the envoys of the Three Kingdoms.
Those people in the Three Kingdoms now feel that they are frogs at the bottom of the well, and they are all thinking about how they can save their lives if they face such a cavalry, instead of hoping to destroy such a cavalry.
After all, the so-called cavalry of the Three Kingdoms during this period, because there were no stirrups, except for a few generals with superb horsemanship who could kill the enemy on horseback, the others belonged to the infantry cavalry.
It's just that the infantry rides on horseback, and when they get to the place of battle, they all dismount and fight, but they have higher mobility than ordinary infantry, and they can't be compared with real cavalry in terms of personal equipment, strategy and tactics.
Therefore, as soon as this team of extremely armed cavalry appeared, everyone became nervous, they were such elite soldiers from the beginning, what kind of enemy were they going to conquer?
But on the one side of the screen they are some strangely dressed foot soldiers, no broadswords, no Changyu, no bows and arrows, and no exquisite armor to protect themselves.
These people looked calmly at the cavalry a hundred paces away, and there was no fear on their faces, and they quietly lined up in three human walls.
Dozens of people stood together, still very neat, each holding a wooden stick that was not yet as tall but had a strange shape.
It would be a bit inappropriate to say that they were too poor to even afford broadsword and spear, for they were not poor by their clothing.
Those neat and uniform clothes are not for the poor, and even if the poor could wear such clothes, they would not be able to keep them white and flawless.
Why? Why would these dozens of unarmed men have a life-and-death battle with these hundreds of well-armed cavalrymen, isn't this a death in vain?
Oh my God, look, the cavalrymen had already raised their spears, and the cold light on the tips of their spears showed the world their bloodthirsty edge, and some couldn't help but close their eyes.
The expected slaughter began, but to everyone's amazement, the slaughtered party was not the unarmed.
Next to the three rows of unarmed men was a man who could be a centurion, and there were less than a hundred of them, and the only one who commanded this could only be a centurion, right?
I saw that the "centurion" raised a long knife in his right hand, and with the swing of the long knife, the "wooden sticks" raised by the cross-dressed foot soldiers in the first row made a crisp "bang, bang" sound, and at the same time there were puffs of white smoke.
Then the soldiers of the first row stepped back and played with the stick, and the soldiers of the second and third rows, under the command of the "centurion" who wielded the knife, repeated the actions of the first row of soldiers just now.
Just as everyone wondered what they were doing, the camera switched to the direction of the cavalry who were fighting.
I saw that those iron horsemen who had already entered the state of charging seemed to have hit an invisible wall, and those who ran in front fell to the ground one after another, and then were drowned by the iron hooves behind.
A moment later, only a few ownerless horses remained in the sun-lit meadow, running aimlessly.
The beautiful equipment on horseback is still vivid, but their owners have remained on the meadow forever.
Shock, this is an absolute shock, the tens of thousands of people sitting in the square were almost shocked by such a result.
More than a hundred well-equipped elite cavalry, charging dozens of foot soldiers on the terrain most conducive to cavalry charge, turned out to be such an ending.
Not a single cavalryman could throw their spears, not a single cavalryman could shoot a sharp arrow, and they were slaughtered before they could even reach the farthest distance that their bows and arrows could reach their soldiers.
Yes, this is not a war, this is a one-sided slaughter......
