Shu Zifeng looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, and his indifferent expression showed a solemn expression for the first time.

"Baron Jamai is really unexpected, how did he pull other minor nobles here without him knowing?

It seems that after I have settled this battle, I need to start building up the intelligence agencies, and these indigenous nobles have a much higher control over the place than expected. ”

Anyone with a little common sense of cold weapon warfare can tell when they see that there is a cavalry force interspersed here!

In Muscovy, cavalry = elite is the truth, the Slavs are not Mongol-Tatars, accustomed to the nomadic way of life, every family has a horse that can be ridden on horseback from an early age, for the Slavs who are mainly agrarian civilization, the infantry has always been a basic part of warfare.

The worst of those who can ride a war horse is a horseback servant who is a cut above the average mercenary, or simply a wandering knight who has lost his fiefdom and has no allegiance to his master.

Obviously, in the current battle scene of Shu Zifeng, the only thing coming from the opposite side could be the other small noble cavalry of the Muscovy who knew the truth of the cold lips and teeth and had already been in contact with the Baron of Jamaica.

Judging from the scale of the dozens of horsemen rushing from the opposite side, I am afraid that the four minor nobles around the Barony of Jamaica, including all the knights, have all been pulled over.

The scale of dozens of horsemen is only worthy of being called a reconnaissance and harassment squad in the eastern countries or nomads, and it is not to be feared at all, but in the European countries where the feudal system is rampant, it is the peak combat power of a skirmish!

Because of the system of European aristocracy and knight class, every warrior who stepped on the war horse had a fairly rich fund to support, and the knight class and the real nobility needless to mention, everyone had at least a set of ancestral or personal money to build heavy armor, and those who were regarded as combat partners by knights and nobles were also equipped with a lot of good equipment, at least a set of iron-clad armor can still be done, and the weapons can be used as much as they want!

The biggest advantage of this system in continental Europe is that the king or the nobles can pull out a group of elite cavalry who are proficient in immediate combat and have no shortage of weapons and weapons, and can directly pull them to the battlefield to cut people.

This can save a large number of the burden of being supported by the state on weekdays, and the system of sub-feudalism also has its advantages.

The defects are naturally obvious, although these well-equipped cavalry are very capable of fighting with individual force, but the coordination of group operations is insufficient, but due to the feudal system in Europe, no individual or force can form thousands of private cavalry armed forces for large-scale group operations like the Eastern countries, and this defect is nothing.

It wasn't until the Mongols swept across the continent that it was proved that these knightly legions, which were empty of equipment, would either die or collapse when they fought......

When the Mongols conquered the west, the kind of combination of various arms that was clearly divided and clearly organized, and the abusive Europeans wanted to die and were defeated again and again.

It can be said that in the era of Mongol conquest, the most tenacious resistance was the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, which was despised by later generations.

Naturally, when the Mongols conquered the Central Plains, they learned a lot of practical war equipment, and the large-scale and effective use of gunpowder was brought to Europe by the Mongols when they conquered the West.

In the 13th century, when the Mongols conquered the west, the armor of the Europeans was not as thick as the later full-body plate armor, which was also the reason why the European heavy cavalry could not prevent the Mongolian cavalry archers from piercing the armor and heavy arrows.

If it was the pinnacle of 16th-century European plate armor, any bow and crossbow would be a toy in front of it!

It was precisely because of the weakness of the bow and crossbow in the face of plate armor that the arquebus, which did not have an advantage in rate of fire and range, became widespread on a large scale.

The level of armor in the parallel world that Shu Zifeng came to was just equivalent to the middle of the 16th century in the history of the earth, which was why he disdained the bow and crossbow and vigorously developed the musket team.

It's better to fight slowly than not to die!

"Fire!" Under Bandak's hoarse shout, the musketeers standing in two rows immediately pulled the trigger, and the blazing fire rope fixed to the bolt was immediately swept into the powder room, triggering a violent chemical reaction.

Under the series of explosions, the human eye did not see any trajectory of the projectile's flight, but the face of the Jamaitian Baron on the opposite side changed drastically, and he hurriedly raised the valuable pure steel knight's heavy shield and stopped in front of him.

There is a certain delay from the arquebus pulling the trigger to igniting the black powder to push the projectile out, and this delay is not short!

For the experienced Baron Jamai, who was full of physical strength, the interval between the opponent's guns and shooting was enough for him to take effective defensive measures.

However, the other cavalry servants around Baron Jamai did not have his reflexes beyond ordinary people, and they did not have the luxury of pure steel knightly heavy shields!

Puff puff~~~

A volley of more than two dozen arquebuses at close range against less than ten cavalrymen, who could not dodge in the sprint, instantly enveloped them under the fire net, and the huge power of the arquebus did not require the musketeers to shoot the unarmored horses, as long as they aimed at the general target and blasted over.

Baron Jamaita, who raised his shield to protect himself, suddenly felt a huge force coming from the arm of the shield, and Baron Jamaifall, who thought that the chassis was very stable, fell back from the horse in an instant, and fell to the ground like a scale, and the heavy knight's full body armor on his body was under Newton's law of free fall, so that Baron Jamaifell fully experienced the sour feeling of 'falling on the ground', and the force generated by the solid ground and armor almost shook out the high-quality black bread that Baron Jamaifell ate before the war......

Baron Jamai shook his head that was a little dazed, and subconsciously opened the mask of the knight's helmet, and I don't know how long it took for Baron Jamai to come to his senses, just after getting used to the slightly dazzling sunlight, he was put on his neck by a pair of knives and axes!

Baron Jamai was stunned for 2 seconds looking at the knife and axe that was close at hand, and finally reacted to the fact that he was captured, and released the knight's sword that was still clenched in his hand very barely, lying on the ground and raising his hands and shouting: "Don't kill me, I am Baron Jamai, I surrender!" I am willing to buy my life with ransom!! ”
