"Charge!" With Han Xing's order, more than a thousand cavalry members who followed him began to shout towards Gao Ting's cavalry troops.

Gao Ting's cavalry troops seemed to be far more than Han Xing's side, but in the heavy cavalry battle, the victory or defeat was on the first charge, and the subsequent tug-of-war was secondary, so the competition was spirit, to see which side was more courageous.

Han Xing was holding a plain wooden horse pistol in his hand, without much gorgeous decoration, it was a two-meter-long horse pistol made of unknown wood, the surface was polished quite clean, but it still felt hairy, fortunately, Han Xing was wearing chain mail gloves, but he was not afraid of wooden thorns.

The head of the spear was made of metal, in the shape of a cone, but there was only a small piece of iron, at most the equivalent of three or five arrows. After all, this thing is a consumable, and if any god can use a carbine for a lifetime, it will be enough to blow.

It seems that only the "dreadnought Barristan" can do this, and when using the carbine, he can retract and release the force freely without injuring the carbine, but even he may not be able to guarantee that the carbine will never break, after all, the cavalry hedge is not a one-person business, and the speed and skill of the opposite side must be taken into account.

The Hu servants behind Han Xing were the elite of Robert's troops as always, a group of reserve knights, all grinding their fists and palms, full of ambition, waiting for the war to be officially canonized. Their armor rate has exceeded 90%, and this is still fingerchain armor and half-body plate armor, and even those 10% also have a leather chain mixed armor.

The reason why Robert did not deploy knight troops to Han Xing was also well-intentioned, because the tactical purpose of this battle was to assault on the left flank and contain it on the right flank. Of course, the heavy cavalry is easy to use, but their armor is too heavy, and they are all burdensome, and they are too tired to run without rushing a few waves, after all, horses also need to rest, so based on the fact that Han Xingnai is a mobile support force, Robert assigned him these relatively light cavalry with relatively light armor, so that he can lead them to intersperse support and even play a big detour.

However, in a few breaths, the distance between the cavalry led by Han Xing and the cavalry belonging to Gao Ting had been shortened to within 100 meters, and the two sides began to enter a state of charge, Han Xing put down his horse pistol, put the shield against his chest to protect the vital point, leaned forward slightly to narrow the target, and at the same time moved the center of gravity forward to increase the impact of the horse.

The high court cavalry on the opposite side had bright armor as always, and their armor was even embossed with white patterns, but as always, they were the faces of some young relatives, all of them looked like they were only big boys in their teens or twenties, but their eyes were firm, and they didn't seem to be much afraid. This is not surprising, after all, almost the entire army of the Gao Ting Army is in this state, and even those infantry are mostly young people, obviously, the Gao Ting Army is a "young and friendly" army.

Han Xing shouted "drive", clamped the horse's belly, and the "electricity" obviously had a relationship with Han Xing, and immediately began to lean over and accelerate, and the speed of one person and one horse was so fast that it left an afterimage.

In an instant, the cavalry on both sides began to collide, and suddenly the sound of wood breaking, as well as the sound of men and horses roaring, Han Xing took the lead, his opponent was a young relative with brown curly hair, wearing a gorgeous armor with intricate patterns, like a work of art more than combat armor.

Obviously, he also recognized Han Xing, roaring and riding his horse towards him, but look at his stupid appearance, he actually held the handle of the horse pistol with his hand! Didn't anyone tell him that a carbine could not be held when charging? Hold the pistol in the crook of your arm, because when it hits the enemy, it will produce a great recoil, and if you hold it in your hand, your arm will definitely dislocate. Sandwiched in the crook of the arm, since it can slide backwards, it can remove most of the force, and it will not wear out its own skin if it has armor on its body anyway.

"Poor silly boy! I don't need to fight, I only need to block him with a shield, and he will lose his combat effectiveness because of the dislocation of his right hand, after all, that armor can't be taken off alone. Han Xing mourned in silence for the little fool in front of him.

Just like Han Xing imagined, even worse than he imagined, the moment the young man's horse pistol hit Han Xing, Han Xing slightly moved the shield to the left, so his horse pistol slashed over the shield, and then when he was stunned, he was hit in the chest by a cavalry behind Han Xing, and fell directly from the horse, life or death I don't know.

The battle continued, and Han Xing's horse pistol hit a feathered knight who rushed up, hitting him in the head along the top of his shield, the tip of the spear piercing his visor directly through his face armor, and then breaking into it, and then the feathered helmet knight fell off his horse screaming.

Losing the carbine, Han Xing pulled out the saber on his waist and continued to fight, at this time the two sides had entered a state of melee, surprisingly, it was clear that the number of knights in the high court was more than twice as many as his own, but the first charge was actually his own advantage, Han Xing's cavalry lost more than 200 people, and the other party's loss was about 500 people.

With the melee, the armor advantage of the High Court side was revealed, although the knight's sword was made to pierce the armor, but even Han Xing, in the face of the turtle-like High Court knight, felt difficult to swallow, the sword in his hand hit the opponent's armor, and even left a depression if there was something, and if you were lucky, you could leave a shallow wound, no way, it was not easy to attack the enemy on the horse, and it was even more difficult to use the thorn, after all, the sword was still not long enough! What's more, after entering the melee state, both sides do not have much room for maneuver, and it becomes a fool's dream to use horsepower to break the armor.

As a result, the battle on the field entered a stalemate, and even Han Xing's troops were relatively at a disadvantage, because their own armor was a little worse than that of the Gao Ting army, which was almost entirely plated.

But soon, there was a cheer from the left flank of Han Xing's troops, and Han Xing, who was on the front line of the dense battle, couldn't hear it clearly, after all, there was a sound of metal clashing and neighing around him, Han Xing's sword had just pierced the fragile neck of a High Court knight who was only protected by chain mail, and before he had time to pull out the sword, another High Court Knight rushed towards Han Xing, Han Xing blocked his slash with his shield, and then kicked the horse stool, with the help of "Electricity" With all his strength, he pulled the sword out of the knight's neck.

Without waiting for Han Xing to confirm the reason for the cheers on the left flank, he was forced to join the battle again, because another enemy surrounded him, and several times there were dangers, but with the help of his own cavalry, Han Xing survived.

After about a while, Han Xing found that the pressure in front of him began to decrease, and he realized that the reason for the cheers on the left flank was because more than 1,000 reinforcements sent by Robert had joined the battle from the left flank, which caused Han Xing and the knights of the other party's High Court Army to reach a level of parity.

But Han Xing suddenly felt that something was faintly wrong, because there were obviously more knights in the Gao Ting Army, and he didn't see Randolph Tully on the battlefield.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

At almost the same time as Han Xing charged, Robert also led the elite knights to begin to attack the right flank of the Gao Ting army (his own left flank against the enemy's right flank) and the rear of the Chinese army, Robert wielded a sledgehammer in his right hand, and held a black buck heraldic shield with a yellow background in his left hand, riding the "sun" straight into the enemy's rear, his sledgehammer shining in the sun couldn't help but remind people of Thor's hammer, as if the next moment there would be a lightning bolt following his call to descend on the crowd, or it could be a flame, after all, the Westeros people thought Robert was the incarnation of the sun god.

The knights behind him are also the essence of the entire Stormland, all of them have experienced a hundred battles, including the "Silver Axe" and the Earl of Grandson are by his side, except for his uncle Sir Harbert, he let Sir Harbert supervise the Chinese army, although the old man has repeatedly said that he can fight for another five hundred years, but after all, "there is an old man in the family who is like a treasure", let an old man like him in his 70s go to the battlefield, it is not a joke with his life! What's more, he has rich experience, he has served as the acting city lord of Wind Rest Castle for many years, and he has a reputation among the nobles, and it is the best arrangement to sit in the Chinese army.

Robert roared loudly, "Come on! See if we don't blow up the ass of these high-court kids! Let Uncle Robert teach you what is right and what is wrong! You're on the wrong side, silly boys! You're going to pay for it! Rush up and let them know that the battlefield is not the place for their stinky boys! For the Stormlands, for the Storm's End! For justice! Charge! Robert's roar obviously had a very good effect, and his knights immediately laughed, and then rushed even harder behind the High Court Army, one of Robert's goals was achieved, and the tension of his own army was well relieved.

Even experienced soldiers will feel nervous at the moment before going to the battlefield, after all, going to the battlefield is not going to the exam, and the most serious consequences are definitely not as simple as failing the course, so comparing the pre-exam anxiety of our ordinary people can understand how restless the soldiers are before going to the battlefield.

In Robert's imagination, his roar has another effect, which is to demoralize the enemy, and the reader may wonder, shouldn't sneaking up on someone else come quietly? Why shout and get people's attention? The reason is actually very simple, because even Robert has 3,000 knights, but it does not mean that his men can kill all the High Court troops in a short time, Robert's impact is more of a blow to the morale of the High Court army, so he has to yell and inform the other party of his arrival, so that the other party can be frightened, so that there will be a collapse.

Morale is a wonderful thing, you can't see it, you can't touch it, but it's the most important thing on the battlefield, sometimes, even if there are more people, you will be defeated by the side with fewer people, just because morale collapses. From the Cao Di Controversy in the East to the Hot Springs Pass in the West, these legendary battles all tell the story of the importance of morale.

Cao Di used the theory of "one drum to strengthen, then decline, three and exhaustion", directly expounded the importance of morale, as strong as the Qi army, but because the drum sounded three times but did not march, the morale was weakened, and the soldiers complained and the Lu army was "one drum" to win more with less.

In fact, the reason is very simple, Cao Di lied, because in the Spring and Autumn Period, the war between the two sides was similar to the medieval aristocracy, and it was actually a convention for the two sides to march together after a drum, but Cao Di broke the rules of the battlefield and ignored it at all, and did not move, so the Qi army was confused, and did not know whether to march or not to march.

The principle is actually a bit like the story of "the wolf is coming", that is, the sheep herding baby lied to the villagers twice that "the wolf is coming", but the third time the wolf really came, no one came even if he shouted his throat.

Obviously, anyone who is tricked will learn to be smart, and the soldiers of the Qi army are no exception.
