I wish all book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy holiday!!

A troop of cavalry rushed out of the castle of the Grand Duke of Fechia, the first of whom had already jumped out and rushed through the trench at the moment when the drawbridge fell, and the cavalry that followed them galloped out of the city in twos and twos, and after crossing the trench, they formed an array in the running according to the gestures of the leading horseman, and stood on the high ground three hundred paces in front of the city. Its elegant riding posture and skillful horse control skills can't help but make people secretly give 800 likes in their hearts.

Then look at the enemy's military appearance after standing still, their horses are handsome, both men and horses are covered with heavy armor, the golden light is shining, the tip of the spear is sparkling, and the scimitar is cold, reflecting a dazzling light like a pearl. Although the number of people was only about 1,000, the whole formation looked majestic and majestic, and the sound of small flutes and drums gave birth to a formidable momentum, and any team would look dwarfed in front of them.

The sirens on the Song Jun's side also quickly entered the battle readiness, but look at the leather armor on his body is gloomy, the musket in his hand is black enough or there is no reflection, and the selected war horses seem to be shorter than other people's horses, compared with the people in front of him, he is like a group of beggars, and he feels a little conscious, and his momentum is also weak.

'Knock knock ......' The drums of war in the enemy formation suddenly became rapid, and the knights at the head of the knight swung their spears from side to side, and the whole procession began to move with the sound of the drums. The horse's hooves and the rhythm of the drum are in harmony, the pace is slow, all stepping on a point, the riding spear is suddenly erected in unison, the spear flag is flying, and the knight roars in unison, the sound shakes the sky, it is really moving!

"Great Song is mighty!"

"Loyalty and courage will win!" ……

With a roar, the hussars began to move, and they rushed out of the path vacated by the infantry in columns. The command unit was lined up in a compact formation of three horizontal columns, and the whole army was silent. Only the 'poof' sound of the gun flag fluttering in the wind. Li Gong, the commander of the hussars, rushed to the head of the team, followed by the two flag-bearers behind him, the flag of the hussar brigade and the flag of the general. He leaned forward slightly on his horse, and the mournful trumpet sounded, and the whole army began to move forward slowly, like the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, accompanied by the riding spear of Rulin, it was more powerful.

The two armies were about 500 paces apart, slowly moving forward, gradually turning to jogging, and the dry earth was stirred up by the stirring of tens of thousands of horses' hooves. Chitton, the commander of the Grand Duke and Private Army of Fekia, squinted at the approaching enemy army, his eyes full of disdain, their horses small in stature. Clumsy, they look like the Uighur mongrels, with only two pieces of leather armor hanging from their faces and chest, and everything else is exposed.

The equipment of those soldiers was even simpler, with only upper body armor on their bodies, a helmet without face protection, and no more than a pair of long leather boots without iron heads; The weapons were simpler, with only a lance and a long knife, and nothing else. No matter how you look at them, they don't look like they come from the legendary land of the East, which is full of gold. Even the cavalry of those Black Khanates were inferior.

As the two armies approached rapidly, Chitton's spears swung as the first column of 'Ghulam' followed them tucked their spears into their saddlebags and removed their longbows from the saddle bridge. Draw your feathered arrows and prepare to shoot the weakly protected enemy troops under their horses in a rain of arrows. But at this time, he suddenly found that more than a dozen two-wheeled carriages rushed out from the gap of the cavalry of the first column of the enemy's army, and they quickly overtook the charging cavalry and rushed to the front of the formation. In addition to the driver of the car, there were two sergeants fiddling with a strange thing.

'Da-da-......' Chiton didn't know what was on the enemy wagon. But he also knew that it was definitely not a good thing for them, so he didn't wait for him to signal his vigilance. A rapid popping sound rang out. Chilton only had time to raise the round shield tied to his left arm to protect his chest, when he felt that the round shield had been hit by something unknown, and his arm seemed to have been whipped hard and hung down uncontrollably.

"Ah......h He immediately realized that something had pierced his bronze shield, through his arm, and through the outer layer of armor, before it was blocked by the chain mail that was put on the inside, and it did not hurt his body, but the huge impact still made him feel unbearable pain.

But the situation in front of him did not give Chiton time to care about his own pain, his own soldiers were all hit, planted in front of his horse, Chiton had to carry the reins of the horse to cross, but he still felt his horse's hind hooves on the ground struggling with his own soldiers. The Knights, who had just charged with indomitable spirit, were now in a crisis, and their exquisite and sturdy armor could not stop the projectiles ejected from the enemy's wagon.

The knights charged under the blows of the enemy's firearms, and the knights were shot one after another, and the men and horses fell to the ground, and the screams continued. The heavy armor on his body made it difficult for the horse to stand up for a while, and was ruthlessly trampled by the war horses of his companions behind him. Chilton knew that there was no turning back once the charge was launched, especially when both armies were accelerating to prepare for the hedge, and the losing side would be relentlessly pursued by the other side, so he could not retreat even in the face of casualties, and he waved the flag to direct the cavalry in the back to fill the gap caused by the casualties, adjusting the formation of the charge.

Fortunately, as the two armies approached rapidly, the carriages in the state of being flanked by the two armies quickly withdrew from the two wings, but they caused a lot of casualties and confusion to the Ghulam Knights in a short period of time......

The drums of war fell like a shower, and the mournful trumpets of the charge also gave a short trumpet, and the two armies approached rapidly, both trying to raise the speed of their horses to the highest speed, the long cavalry spears had been flattened, and the knights were tense up, their legs clamped between their horses' bellies, ready for the final charge.

The two armies collided ...... the knights shouted and threw their spears forward with horsepower and stabbed at the enemy in front of them. Chiton, who had retreated to the rear, breathed a sigh of relief, except for those heretical spear formations composed of heavy infantry in this world, no army could defeat the 'Ghulam' heavy cavalry in the hedge, I don't know how many invincible armies were defeated under their spears and scimitars, he believed that although he had suffered losses at the beginning today, the opponent's thin armor still could not stop the charge of his iron cavalry.

But the scene in front of him once again broke Chiton's common sense, the enemy army made up for the weakness of the horses and armor with the help of a close formation, and allowed them to line up more cavalry at the same distance, occupying the advantage of numbers so that they cooperated with each other, and pierced the cavalry spears in their hands into the bodies of their knights and horses respectively. What's even more shameless is that the spears they use have to grow a lot, and they have already been handed to them before their own spears come into contact with them! And what happened next once again turned the perception of Chiton, the elite knight of 'Ghulam', that the enemy actually attacked his opponent directly with spears.

The spear was regarded as the most reliable weapon in the traditional Islamic world, especially among the Khulam knights, and was trusted in it. Compared to Europeans, these Turks were more diverse and flexible in their use of spears. They used the 'kanah' used by the infantry in battle, but soon found that they were not as useful on horseback as the shorter and stronger Quintalian cavalry spears that had been handed down from the Eastern Romans.

The 'Ghulam' abandoned this so-called longest spear, mainly because it was too long for cavalry, inconvenient to hold, easy to break when charging and stabbing, and not easy to control, once directly stabbed the enemy, they would also be injured under the huge impact, the wrist would be broken in the light, and the entire arm would be torn off in the heavy. Therefore, they chose cavalry spears, which were relatively short and easy to control, and used the impact to knock the opponent off the horse, and never directly sprinted the opponent's horse and body.

When Chiton thought that the enemy would also suffer heavy losses under this style of fighting with 1,000 wounds and 800 self-losses, he found that when the cavalry spear in the enemy's hand pierced the body of his knight or the warhorse, the barrel of the gun actually exploded into countless fragments. He immediately realized that these Orientals were much smarter than he thought, and that they wanted to protect themselves by unloading the tremendous impact of stabbing their opponents. The enemy who lost their cavalry spears did not retreat, they drew their long knives with one hand and slashed at the surviving knights, and their cavalry spears seemed too long at the moment, and it was difficult to maneuver and resist in close combat after the collision, and fell into passivity.

His first column of knights was crushed in the blink of an eye and suffered heavy losses, Chiton was angry and helpless, and the enemy cavalry, who had lost their rifles and shock power, rushed forward in the face of the second column of galloping Ghulam, and in addition to the long knives in their hands, there was also a fire-breathing thing, and every time it sounded, someone was shot off their horses. However, the enemy who took advantage of it did not entangle, and quickly left the battlefield from the two flanks to regroup in the main formation, and prepared to launch another assault as a reserve.

The cavalry on both sides collided violently twice, and the soldiers who survived the hedge were already entangled and engaged in a melee. Chiton thought that his knights were warriors who had been trained since childhood, skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and that the swords, swords, axes, and hammers they wore could come in handy, even if they were heavily wounded, they could still deal heavy blows to the enemy.

Seeing that their long knives could not inflict heavy damage on the heavily armored enemy, the enemy soldiers turned to their firearms to fire first, not giving their knights a chance to play at all. But the wounded Ghulams were greatly reduced in battle, and then there was no more, and they fled to the castle in terror with heavy losses...... (To be continued......)
