Chapter 156: Cavalry Charge!
The recruits began to laugh, but some of them squeezed out laughter, which was more ugly than crying. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and what they didn't know was that the originally nervous heart also became relaxed.
"But it doesn't matter, you'll love it when you get used to it later." Warrant Officer Kerr continued, "It's like galloping on a woman... Well, you'll find out later. ”
Looking at the recruit's childish face, Kerr closed his mouth, these words should not have been said to them.
"Ready!"
In the distance, the command of the battlefield commander was heard, and Kerr drove his horse into the queue of recruits in front of him. Kerr turned his head to look behind him, and 20 yards behind him, the veteran non-commissioned officers were lined up behind them. There was also a line in the rear farther away.
Three Fronts? It seems that the father is going to destroy them directly.
"Listen, as long as the war horse rushes up, don't slow down until you break through the line of the gnolls on the opposite side!"
The recruits next to him didn't say anything nervous.
"Raise your arms!"
Swish! The veterans of the second and third rows pulled out the weapons that were diagonally inserted in front of their horses, making the sound of neat armor rubbing, and their one-handed swords were raised high by them.
The recruits in the first row raised their long-handled weapons tremblingly.
"I think we should suggest it to the Legion Commander." Captain Casimir looked at the long-handled weapon in the recruit's hand and said, "This long-handled weapon is used by the infantry, not the cavalry gun of our cavalry wing, this thing is too dangerous to use, it is better to let the recruits use one-handed swords to attack the enemy." ”
"Or replace the recruits! Let them go to the second or third row. Otherwise, if they continue to charge like this, how many of them will be shocked by the speed of the war horse? ”
The cavalry spear is a special horse assault weapon for cavalry. The cavalry drove their mounts to launch a high-speed charge at the enemy, and when they approached the enemy, they pointed their mounted spears horizontally or nearly horizontally at the enemy, using the charge bonus to assassinate the enemy.
Because of the huge impact force, the body of the cavalry spear is deliberately made of wood material with a certain hardness and easy to break in order to protect the cavalry, so the cavalry will abandon the gun immediately after the cavalry is broken, and replace it with other weapons prepared in advance to continue fighting.
The rifle was broken precisely to absorb the reaction force.
Otherwise, it will cause a lot of distress to the soldiers, causing unnecessary casualties.
Now, there was no such thing in the Crusaders, because the Forsaken had no cavalry, and the Crusaders were not prepared to ride spears.
"It's too late. The cavalry are already charged," Hudson said with a frown. "I was negligent on the issue."
"Put down the mask!" The battlefield commander shouted again.
A crackling sound rang out, and the soldiers lowered the masks that protected their faces from their plate helmets.
Kerr lowered his mask, his eyes limited in his vision, he couldn't see to the left and right. His heart began to beat faster, and he could hear the nervous breathing of the other recruits around him.
"Charge!!!!! For Lordaeron! The battlefield commander shouted!
"Charge!!!!! For Lordaeron! ”
The soldiers shouted.
Kerr also shouted, grabbed the reins of the war horse with his left hand, raised the long-handled weapon in his hand with his right hand, and began to slowly drive the war horse to run.
Knock, knock, knock,
At the exit of the Haru Gorge, on the vast land, three thin white lines hundreds of meters long began to move slowly forward. They started very slowly, like they were walking on horseback. But after a dozen breaths, the speed was increased, and the three lines began to move rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Three hundred meters!
The speed of the cavalry's horses has been mobilized and they are starting to move towards high speed! Through the cracks in Kerr's mask, the cold wind began to pierce in.
The sound of galloping horses' hooves caused a commotion in the formation of the gnolls on the opposite side, and they began to panic a little. Some strong, armored gnolls began to charge the cavalry.
Two hundred meters!
The cavalry's line was a little uneven, and some of the horses that ran very fast already had some to stand out from this line. Kerr could already see through the corner of his eye that some people around him were half a horse faster than him.
The neat line of the cavalry pressed over as quickly as if they had reached a mountain, especially the long-handled weapons in their hands, which were like a forest of dead steel, and some emaciated gnolls began to drill into the sides of the mountain.
One hundred meters!
The horses under the crotches of the cavalry began to sprint with all their might, and all the snow along the road was carried up by the high-speed sprinting horses.
The sound of horses' hooves like thunder constantly hit the hearts of the gnolls, who had never faced the charge of the group cavalry like this, and their formation began to have a big commotion, and some of the gnolls tried to run too much, and were cut to the ground by the gnolls who supervised the battle.
Kerr silently calculated in his heart that he was going to release the riding gun!
"Ride the gun!" In the high-speed running line, the shouts of the officers were heard one after another.
Kerr did not have time to correct the mistake in his mouth to the officer, he put the tail end of his polearm under his right arm, and held the weapon upwards with his right palm, horizontally facing the line of gnolls lined up in front of him.
Kerr's ears were filled with the rumble of galloping horses, and an irrepressible boiling in his body began to gush out, taking over his brain and limbs, and his heart began to beat violently.
Directly across from him, the gnolls were already in sight, and Kerr could even see the panic in the yellow eyes of a gnoll who looked like an officer.
The gnolls' formation was kicked by the powerful gnolls officers, and they also began to slowly rush towards the cavalry.
"Kill !!!" Kerr couldn't help but shout, venting the boiling in his heart! He raised his rifle vigorously and stabbed the gnoll officer.
Rumble! Boom!
The first cavalry line slammed into the loose formation of the gnolls, and countless gnolls were hit by the huge impact of the horses, and they flew up and smashed into several gnolls behind.
The tip of the polearm stabbed into the gnoll's leather armor like tofu. Kerr immediately flipped his right wrist towards the ground and released the longarm that was hanging under his right arm.
The polearm did not fall on the first, it remained on the gnoll's chest, and went backwards as the gnoll man.
In the entire first line, hundreds of long-handled weapons stabbed into the bodies of the jackals with the huge impact of the horses, and the huge inertia strung the gnolls behind them together, and the spear-like weapons in the hands of a recruit even strung 4 gnolls.
However, there were also hundreds of recruits who forgot the explanations of the non-commissioned officers and captains because of nervousness, and the long-handled weapons in their hands were never lost, and the results were self-evident. Most of them were directly pushed off their horses and flew backwards, trampled by the cavalry line behind them. A small number of them were like the recruits, a series of several gnolls, until the speed of the war horse was greatly reduced, they did not know that they had lost the long-handled weapon in their hands, picked up the one-handed sword on the side, and slashed the gnolls on the left and right.
Kerr took advantage of the situation to pull out his one-handed sword, which was inserted upside down on his horse's armor on his right side, and grasped the reins with his left hand. He slashed at the gnolls swarming to the left and right.
Faced with fully armed soldiers, the gnolls reveal their bandit-like nature.
In the depths of their minds, in the memories of inheritance, the countless memories of being hacked and killed by such people wearing tin cans began to flood their hearts.
Only then did they realize that these people in tin cans were not unarmed civilians. The latter is their food, while the former, is their nightmare!
The recruits who rushed into the gnolls' formation, forgetting their duty and hatred, shouted wildly, brandished their one-handed swords, and slashed at all the creatures under their horses. Now in their subconscious, as long as they don't ride horses, they are their enemies!
The veterans of the second and third columns also came in, and compared to the red-eyed recruits, these veterans were much more relaxed.
While slashing the one-handed sword in their hands and slashing at the gnolls under the horses, they shouted and intimidated in their mouths, driving the gnolls in one direction, and countless gnolls ran towards the position where they were driven.
It's like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating huge ripples.
The gnolls' already loose formation collapsed.
On this planet, the elite human cavalry, which is comparable to the Night Elf Sentinel Force, and the warriors who are at the top of the combat power are just pulled into the formation of the Gnolls.
Soon, under the skillful skills of the veterans and the control of the battlefield, the recruits who had fallen into madness gradually regained their senses. Since the formation had been completely disrupted, they followed the veterans close and fought with them.
Countless gnolls left their backs to their enemies, scrambling to run in the opposite direction. Running in the direction that the human soldiers were driving away.
There are also some leaders of the gnolls who tried to call the gnolls to resist on the spot, but they were scattered by the experienced non-commissioned officers at the first time, and the gnolls who had just been summoned scattered violently and ran towards the distance without their lives. As soon as the gnolls showed signs of gathering, the veterans would kill them and scatter them.
Soon, the veterans began to control the speed of their horses, and followed the broken gnolls unhurriedly, while constantly slashing and killing the gnolls who were only concerned about fleeing for their lives.
While shouting and intimidating, he continued to drive them away, not giving them time to rest. As long as the gnolls slowed down, the cavalry accelerated, forcing the gnolls to flee in a tense state all the time.
"Captain, this battle is over. The gnolls will be dragged to death on the way to escape. Captain Casimir's stiff expression finally softened somewhat.
He was worried about the recruits who had fallen off their horses in battle. Basically, on the path of the cavalry charge, any cavalry on the ground will be trampled or directly lost by the huge inertia and impact of the war horse.
And just now he clearly saw that the first front had fallen nearly a hundred recruits.
"There are no immortals in war!" Hudson said in a low voice, "They died for their country, for their families, and the people of Lordaeron will not forget them." ”
