Chapter 518: Charging Array (3)
In hundreds of thousands of years of warfare, there have been countless examples of battles, and the two-horse battle like Lormine and Grant is not uncommon, but it is not unique.
Even if the two of them still had tricky Cangyan protection on their bodies, ordinary soldiers dodged one after another, and the arrows lost their strength and were easily defended, and the Belan army still had other ways to deal with this move.
Two teams of Belan cavalry rushed out from the left and right flanks, killing the two of them, they were armed with slender cavalry spears, and the line was neat, so that Luo Ming's eyes were clear when he saw it.
It is worthy of the cavalry of the Beran Federation, no matter how much you hate these invaders, but at least you have to admit that the comprehensive level of their cavalry is above that of the principality, and Luo Ming's experience of riding a horse is only three years now, and it cannot be compared.
If you don't have other hole cards, you will definitely not choose to fight with such a cavalry.
In the next moment, a wave of mana fluctuation came, and a white halo suddenly appeared on those riding spears, which was the magic blessing that came with the gauntlet, according to Aya's previous speculation, it should allow the riding spear to have a certain flame resistance, and I am afraid that it also has a certain buffering effect, which can protect the wrist of the cavalry while sending out a stronger stabbing blow.
Both the cavalry itself and the spell were undoubtedly valuable.
You really look up to me...... Luo Ming sneered, clamped the riding spear with his armpit and the bracket on the armor, took the opportunity to take out two iron balls, and threw them towards the opposite side.
The cavalrymen hadn't come close to the front of the Loming formation, so they didn't recognize it as a grenade, but they instinctively knew that the iron ball was certainly not simple.
Although the cavalry's momentum was fast, the left and right dodges were not as agile as the human feet, and they did not dodge, but directly picked it with their cavalry spears, and they had to push it aside.
According to common sense, this trick is really useful, after all, the grenade explodes with a delay in the fire rope, and if it is picked aside before the explosion, although the power is not small, I am afraid it will not be enough to hurt the enemy.
However, Luo Ming didn't have the idea of making it easy for them - don't forget that he can control Cangyan, and Cangyan can exhibit the properties of normal flames, which can be used to ignite gunpowder!
Just as the rifle was about to touch the two grenades, the little spark attached to the fire rope suddenly flourished and quickly rushed into the inside of the grenade.
The next moment, with a loud bang, the grenade exploded in advance.
The fine, sharp pieces of iron and small pieces of lead pre-filled into the grenade spread rapidly under the thrust of the gunpowder explosion.
The armor of the cavalry may be able to block most of the shrapnel, but only a few shrapnel penetrate the defenses, and it can cause serious damage.
And although their war horses also have a certain amount of defense, they are far less thorough than the cavalry itself, and they are more likely to be injured.
In addition to this, the air wave from the explosion also had the potential to push the cavalry off their horses.
As a result, three horsemen fell from their horses, or fell with their men and horses, and several others were wounded, disrupting the whole formation for a moment.
Although it only took a few seconds for them to regroup, in just a few seconds, Lormine and Grant were already killed.
Luo Ming's technique of using a riding spear on a horse can only be said to be average, but relying on his own cultivation to be high, and using Cangyan to cover his movements, he leaned over to dodge the enemy's stabbing spear, and then unexpectedly sent a blow to the chest of the cavalryman, knocking him directly off the horse.
Although the opponent's cuirass was only dented, not directly cracked, and there was a thick cushioning material inside that could absorb part of the impact, but he was beaten down from a galloping horse, and this incident itself was enough for him to drink a pot.
At the same time, Luo Ming also felt a cracking sound from the cavalry gun in his hand, and he was afraid that two or three more attacks would break completely.
After all, the cavalry gun is basically made of wood except for the head part, so that it can ensure a length of three or four meters while not exceeding the weight standard, and it will not be too bulky to use.
If you let the horse slow down and stab the enemy next to it with only a mounted spear, it will be as durable as an infantry spear, and it can be used for a long time.
But with the help of high-speed horsepower to attack the enemy, it is a severe test for the wooden pole.
Luo Ming did not use his more accustomed sword, but used a riding spear, mainly for its labor-saving effect.
The cavalry spear in his hand was four meters long, and its attack range was far superior to that of ordinary swords, and even Luo Ming's big sword used to make the Tianquan Sword Soul attach was much shorter than the cavalry lance.
If you want to use a sword to reach an attack range of the same length, you have to use sword qi, the consumption of sword qi is quite a lot, although Luo Ming has five times the reserve of fighting qi of an ordinary sword master, but it can't be wasted casually.
Now, he barely needs to consume any fighting energy, and he can kill people by simply controlling the stabbing of his spear. Even if the cavalry spear is completely consumable in Luo Ming's hands, it can be used two or three times to defeat a few elite cavalry of Belan and save the amount of sword qi two or three times, which is quite profitable.
Of course, even in this case, a skilled person can minimize the wear and tear of the riding spear.
Just like the story of Ku Ding Jieniu, the three-legged cat cook can use the knife in a month, the good cook can use the same knife for a year before needing to replace it, and Ku Ding himself has used it for 19 years, and it is still like a new knife.
Although Grandi's skills are not up to the level of almost metaphysics, they are also several streets away from Luo Ming, and they are a few points higher than these Belan cavalry.
After all, before she ran away, she had been receiving a high level of training in the Radiant Blade Knights, and her grandfather, the former head of the Knights, opened a small stove for her to conduct special training.
Secular princely families may not be able to provide such a high standard of education for their children.
I saw that Grant dodged the tip of a stabbing spear, grabbed the barrel of the spear and pushed it back, almost pushing the cavalryman off his horse.
At the same time, she used her riding spear to pull away the barrel of another piercing spear at a slight angle, brushed it past her head, and the riding spear in her hand gently probed forward, and actually pierced the cavalryman's neck directly through the gap in the armor, cut a large hole and retracted it.
Even so, she had enough room to retract her rifle, and then swept towards the enemy rider on the other side, stabbing his leg where the armor was lacking, and exerting a little force, almost dragging him off his horse.
Although the opponent threw away the riding spear and grabbed the reins with both hands, even if there was a large hole left on one side of the thigh, and the blood gushed like a spring, he did not fall off the horse.
But the cavalry in this state can basically be said to have lost its combat effectiveness.
