Chapter 111: The Power of the Knights
The leader of the barbarians saw a group of Terran cavalry waiting for him in front of him, and rushed to make a charge first, he couldn't believe his eyes, the weak human actually dared to confront his own troops on the plain?
For this sneak attack, he prepared for a long time, first let some of his subordinates act as pathfinders, to test the firepower of the air crossing, after paying dozens of barbarian lives, he felt that the fortress wall could not be stormed at all, the human race had mastered weapons that were strong enough to ignore the advantages of their own race, and the siege of the city was inherently at a disadvantage, the number of their own race was not large, if the human race has not been able to hold out, then I am afraid that he will never be able to break through the defense line of the wooden house town.
To this end, he chose to survive the extremely dangerous Eagle's Beak Crossing, taking a detour to the unguarded rear of the Air Ferry Commander, and if it went well, he could lead his warriors all the way to the fortress wall from the inside, and then open the city gates to receive his companions into the city.
He has this confidence, and the sneak attack troops he leads are the most elite warriors in the tribe!
But now, a group of human cavalry stood in their way.
The Barbarian Leader smiled contemptuously, unlike his simple-minded kind, he had carefully studied the classification of human soldiers and came to the conclusion that human soldiers could not defeat barbarians in equal numbers.
This is the result of the defeat of three cavalry companies under the leadership of his subordinates.
Before Rand, the lord of the air crossing had also led his cavalry regiment to face the barbarians head-on, and the battle was fought three times, but each time it ended in the defeat of the human cavalry, and even in the last battle, even the hapless lord fell to the ground due to the fright of his mount, and finally died at his hands.
It seems to be, boiled into a pot of broth......
The barbarian looked at the rushing cavalry, and gradually felt contempt in his heart, because in his opinion, it was undoubtedly a suicide attack, but it was only to delay a little.
But he ignored one fact.
The human cavalry regiment is also strong and weak.
The former lord of the Kongdu Lord was just a side of a small family, and it was naturally impossible to control how powerful the army was, and even the equipment was a defective product that had been eliminated, and it lost its lethality after a few hits, so it was naturally impossible for such a cavalry regiment to defeat the barbarians.
The knights led by Payne were once affiliated with the famous Honeysuckle Family, and years ago, the Honeysuckle Family's ironclad cavalry had shocked the Ironflow Kingdom with terrible impact and destruction.
After Payne followed Rant's mother to the Capetian family, he served in the First Legion, known as the strongest combat force of the Capetian family, and its fierceness was even greater than before, and the cavalry trained by him was several times different from those knights who were empty of the name of cavalry, but their combat strength was weak!
You must know that Payne is the person appointed by the Duke of Winton to be sent to the Sky Crossing Territory to protect the Rand, although it is related to Payne's background, but a large part of it is because of his strong combat effectiveness!
The cavalry, dressed in black armor, rushed towards the barbarian ranks like a torrent, and although there were only about two dozen of them, they showed the momentum of thousands of troops.
The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and although the enemy was a race far more powerful than humans, the cavalry was undaunted.
It's like the oath they took before.
The strong enemy is now, not afraid!
Worthy of God, I would rather die than give in!
The barbarians, who were in the direction of the frontal assault of the cavalry ranks, finally noticed the strong killing intent coming from a distance.
The leader of the barbarians finally realized that the opposing cavalry was charging with the determination to die!
In the cavalry formation, the wind was howling, even if it was still far away, but you could still feel the terrifying fighting spirit like a tiger and wolf.
A strong and death-defying army, even no one dares to resist its edge.
The barbarian leader felt the ground tremble slightly under his feet, and he put away the contemptuous smile on his face and changed it to a solemn look, and the muscles of his whole body tensed for a moment.
He, I want to give it a try.
The axe and mace were lifted into the air, and with a loud roar, the barbarian began to run.
200 meters......
One hundred and fifty meters......
100 meters......
Finally, the two sides were advancing at full speed, and the most primitive and tragic collision occurred.
The air seemed to freeze in an instant.
Everything around them seemed to be silent as if it had lost its voice, even the sound of the howling wind had stopped.
"Kill!"
The cavalry regiment let out an earth-shattering roar.
Blood splattered high in the air, the neighing of the horses and the shattering of bones rang out almost simultaneously, and the shiny blades of steel pierced into the bodies of their enemies with little resistance.
The Barbarian's thick skin did not give them any advantage in front of the lance, which could easily pierce even plate armor, and this purpose-built weapon for armor-piercing was expensive and forgave all auxiliary uses, including slashing and sweeping, to maximize the power of the stabbing blow alone.
The two sides collided head-on, like two different waves colliding together, splashing countless waters, only to be replaced by flying blood.
In the first encounter, the knights inflicted heavy blows on seven barbarians, one of whom staggered and fell into the snow, a large hole was pierced in his abdomen, and steaming intestines and internal organs squirmed out, and he desperately tried to stuff them back, but to no avail, the penetrating wound caused by the horse lance was damaged along with his internal organs, and he had no chance of surviving.
The leader of the barbarians swung the great axe in his hand and put an end to the suffering of his companions.
The two sides staggered, the cavalry fought, the most taboo is to fight with the opponent at close range, and the cavalry simply cannot exert its maximum strength until the mount does not run.
And because of inertia, it was impossible for the cavalry to stop a horse running at high speed in an instant.
Payne kept the distance between the two sides about a hundred meters.
And the counterattack from the barbarians was just as sharp.
Two horsemen were struck by the barbarian's massive weapon, and the armor they wore was no effective way to stop this heavy weapon, and the position where they were hit was exaggeratedly dented, and the body under the armor was also violently hit, and the broken ribs pierced the lungs, and they staggered and fell from their horses, never to get up again.
The war horse stood alone beside his master, constantly touching his master's corpse with his head.
Payne clenched his left hand into a fist to his chest and patted his heart lightly.
This is the knight's mourning for the loss of his companion.
"Now, charge!"
