"What's going on!" Renard exclaimed in astonishment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In his observation, the charging party of five hundred knights, approaching fifty or sixty meters, was attacked by an overwhelming rain of arrows. And it stands to reason that the elite knights who should ignore the blow of the rain of arrows and easily attack through the barrage of bullets fell off their horses one after another.

The team of five hundred knights didn't even touch the opponent's military formation, and more than a hundred people fell directly. The remaining 300 or so knights had lost their sight under the rain of arrows. Some are spinning around the battlefield, not knowing where to go. Some rushed to the military formation desperately, but they could not make any impact on the tight front.

Perhaps they finally recognized their situation. In the end, only a hundred or so knights remained, and they fled back with a few arrows stuck in their bodies.

"It's a crossbow! It's a crossbow bolt! Hals, who was beside him, was the first to notice the reason and screamed.

"Crossbow bolts?" Renard was slightly stunned, and then furious. "These despicable Aesisians! Don't they have a little bit of shame? ”

Although Renard was strongly dissatisfied with Allen's undisciplined use of crossbow arrows, the war was still going on, and he could do nothing but curse at this time. However, he wondered when the bolts would be able to penetrate his Rollin's special full-body plate armor. You must know that if you rely on the old crossbow arrows in the past, the attack power can only be said to be better than that of bows and arrows, and you may be able to break through the general plate chain composite armor. But for the elite knights of Rollin, they are wearing special full-body plate armor produced by the Dwarven Kingdom, just like the plate armor of the early Middle Ages and the end of the Middle Ages on Earth, there is a difference between heaven and earth. Ordinary bows and arrows are not to say penetrate, and it is difficult to even leave scratches.

But such a sharp weapon was broken by Allen's heavy crossbow in one fell swoop, and it can be said that the most relied on the main force of the Rollin Kingdom on the battlefield was simply destroyed.

Such a blow must not be dealt a heavy blow.

"Your Excellency! What to do now! Hals said anxiously, "Or will we fall into the retreat of the knights?" Let the serfs absorb the damage? ”

"Serfs? Right! Serf! As if he had just woken up from a dream, Renard exclaimed, "Quick! Tell Lambert to come back and let the serfs go up! Since the opponent is using a heavy crossbow, the rate of fire is definitely not very fast, let the serf absorb a round of damage, and then there will be no problem in charging! Quick, carry out my orders! ”

The more Renard said it, the more it made sense, and it was.

Although Allen's heavy crossbow team has increased its power, it is much slower in terms of rate of fire, and it is a one-shot shot. If you use an old-fashioned crossbow bolt, you can still keep the rate of fire at three or four rounds a minute, but now the rate of fire can only be maintained at one shot a minute.

What is the concept of one-minute-one-shot? If you calculate the speed of the cavalry, a distance of a hundred meters usually takes only ten seconds to run. That is, the heavy crossbow team only has time to shoot once. By the time the heavy crossbow team fired the second time, I'm afraid the cavalry would have already run back and forth a few times.

This is still against heavy cavalry in heavy armor and need to maintain formation. If you change to the scattered steppe light cavalry, often the crossbowman will not have time to measure the distance, and the target will be rushed in front of him.

So if Renard really did follow him, Allen's carefully built crossbow team would really be of little use.

But like I said before, if after all, it's if. Reality is often much more brutal than imagined.

In the face of the casualties of the first team of Cavaliers, Renard can also clearly analyze the pros and cons and adjust the strategy. But at this moment, Lambard, as the supreme commander of the knights, is in the game.

"What's going on! What trap did the other party use! ”

Like Renard, Lambert was equally stunned to see the first team of knights suffering heavy losses under the rain of arrows. Asked around in a loud voice. It was only after the knights had fled from the front that he discovered their arrows, a discovery that made him furious.

As the most basic nobles on the continent and the most important combat unit on the battlefield, the knight's status has always been the top priority. Therefore, the crossbow arrow, a weapon that could easily allow a serf to kill a knight, was rejected by most nobles.

The reason for this is that in ordinary wars, knights have a high chance of surviving battles with their excellent armor and excellent martial arts experience. Normally, if the two sides are not enemies of life and death, they will never intentionally kill a nobleman. On the contrary, most of the deaths on the battlefield are mostly accidents. For example, being crushed by a war horse, such as accidentally falling into a pond or something.

Even if you encounter a heavy armor-piercing weapon, it is a big deal to end up with a broken bone or an internal injury, or a broken arm. As long as you lose your combat effectiveness and go to the ground, no one will come to make up for it.

But the crossbow arrow is different, the first crossbow arrow does not have eyes, if it hits any vital part, it will die directly. The second crossbow bolt is long-ranged. You say that you, a famous knight, fell before you even came into contact with the enemy. How can you pretend to be forced in front of Miss Lady in the future? This is unforgivable for the aristocracy who made mating their greatest entertainment!

Therefore, crossbow arrows are such things as crossbow arrows, whether they are public or private, they cannot exist as the main force on the battlefield. Of course, there are no absolutes, and there are some people who don't care about the reputation of the nobility, and they are still secretly using it.

"Give me the whole team! The whole team! I'm going to kill all those vile Aesis! Lambard shouted angrily and raced through the battlefield, gathering the rest of his troops.

However, just as Lambard had regrouped his team and was ready to attack. Behind him there was a hurried sound of horns.

"Lord Earl, His Royal Highness the Prince has ordered a retreat!" The knight beside him reminded.

"I understand!" Lambert roared back at the knight. The knight immediately fell silent, for fear of angering Lambold again.

Frembard glanced indignantly at the military array behind him, but his heart was thinking quickly. After two or three trances, Lambold made up his mind.

Get back? It's impossible. I asked for battle three times and twice but was blocked by Renard, and now I have let myself take a small advantage and want to retreat? It's clear that you don't want to give yourself credit. And the previous team of knights just lost, so I won't have to talk about it in the future! If so, how will I gain a foothold in the court in the future? Renard, you wait!

Frembard's earlier pent-up anger exploded. All he thinks about at the moment is Renard's suppression of himself, and what he has to do is to lead his knights to win a real victory, so that everyone can see his strength! (To be continued.) )
