"Brother!" a knight could not help but let out a roar of rage when he found that his relatives had a bloody hole in his body, and fell weakly from his horse, and was trampled by the hooves of other horses

Of course, it was foolish to blame his companions, and he knew who to hate, so he immediately rode his horse and changed direction, while at the same time he raised his spear and shouted: "Come with me to kill these sinister villains!!

Immediately, more than thirty horsemen responded to his call, broke away from the large ranks, and rushed towards that side.

Of course, the identity of a knight is not enough to give such an order, but perhaps it is due to the blind obedience of people, or perhaps it is because he does not want to face artillery and spear arrays anymore, or because his skull is broken, and he really treats the enemy with long-range weapons as a "villain who hurts people with hidden arrows", and is filled with righteous indignation......

Whatever the motive, it had no effect on the reality at the moment, and in short, the thirty or so riders did break away from the team.

Such unorganized and undisciplined behavior immediately darkened Hermir's eyes.

The feudal system in place within the Belan Confederation, combined with the excellent horse breeds and grasslands, did produce many excellent cavalrymen - but their coordination was a problem.

Those who can prepare their own horses to participate in the war are also from small landlord families, and many of them are nobles' concubines and even sisters-in-law, and they have excellent equestrian skills and excellent martial arts, and they all think very highly of themselves.

Hermir was just a knight, and with his seasoned qualifications and excellent personal strength, coupled with the support of the young viscount, he could barely suppress them, and it was not easy for them to obey orders under normal circumstances.

As for letting them obediently undergo organized and rigorous training to specifically cultivate organizational discipline, this is really a bit difficult, and after a few days of training, they will completely lose their enthusiasm and scatter in a hurry, and some people are even unwilling to do a day of cooperative training.

Therefore, he often saw that his cavalry did not obey orders, and he could tolerate it under normal circumstances, and even be able to make appropriate guidance according to local conditions.

For example, take the opponent to the right position, and then let them charge casually - basically they will charge in a straight line, although they are a little brainless, but they can win by rushing to the right position.

But to do this kind of thing at this time, do you have a bit of a big picture!

Hemir couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, although he had just checked and found that the wound on his waist was very serious, but the pain of the wound at the moment was far from his grief.

But he didn't have time to care about this anymore, there were still a few seconds left, and the main cavalry force was about to clash with the Luo Ming army in front of the artillery again, if he was distracted at this moment, it would not be his own life!

Hermir could only endure the double trauma of body and mind, gritted his teeth and raised his spear.

The musketeers did not stupidly stand still in front of the cavalry, which had broken away from the large force, and immediately after the previous volley, they put away their brackets and muskets, and began to trot back.

Of course, unless there is cultivation in the body, even if a person's legs run at full speed, they are far less than a galloping horse, and they can easily be chased and killed by riding spears and sabers.

But there was one huge obstacle in the middle, and that was two squadrons of spearmen totaling one hundred and sixty-four men.

At this moment, they temporarily stopped marching and stood still in place, because they were not walking fast, so the formation was relatively neat, and in only ten seconds, they had already formed a phalanx.

The spears raised high were lowered, and suddenly from a row of walking woods, it turned into a huge hedgehog, and rows of spears pointed in all directions.

Most galloping horses will still choose to detour or slow down in the face of such an array, but there are also horses that can't hold their feet, or are driven by their owners to rush hard, and eventually even people and horses crash into it.

Some of the cavalrymen saw that their companions had crashed into the spear formation, and felt as if there was a gap, so they rushed forward - but they were greeted by a cold reality.

The spears held by these soldiers were more than a meter longer than the cavalry spears, and the cavalrymen's horses were half the way forward, and in the actual hedge, the cavalry or his horse was often the first to be stabbed.

Of course, if you look at it this way, the armor on the horses and cavalry can sometimes block or slide away from the spear tip, and the cavalry can also use their excellent personal martial arts to push away or dodge the spear, and then use the cavalry to assassinate the opponent, one-on-one, the cavalry still has a huge advantage.

But one of the great characteristics of the spear phalanx is that it is dense - standing in a position occupied by a cavalry company with men and horses can stand four to eight infantry in front of the front and back, and to ensure that the horses traveling at high speed do not collide with each other, the density will be lower.

Therefore, in actual combat, a cavalryman often has to face at least four, sometimes even double-digit spears, which are divided into several layers, and cooperate with each other in front and back, almost forming a deadly net.

The first cavalry to rush forward became butterflies glued to the net, and the men and horses were impaled by several spears, unable to move.

It is true that the huge kinetic energy is transmitted to the infantry through the spear shaft, and at the same time, some horse corpses or human bodies will even fall directly and roll over them, but there are many platoons of soldiers forming a phalanx, and falling a row or two will not affect its effect.

The corpses of their companions hindered the next onrushing cavalry, slowing down the horses - not down, just waiting to collide or fall.

However, when the horse slows down, it means that it loses its mobility, and several times or even dozens of times the number of spears pierce at the same time, and the cavalry who does not immediately turn the horse's head and run is powerless to resist.

There was even a knight, after dropping his cavalry spear, he pulled out his saber with a fighting spirit to block the stabbing left and right, and combined with the plate armor on his body, he survived the first wave of spear thrusts, and bullied the spearmen's side, cutting down two people in a row.

But the small number of halberders mixed in the spearmen came into play, their halberds were only two meters long, and they were agile and immediately stabbed from the side.

Two more soldiers put down their super-long spears, which had become cumbersome in hand-to-hand combat, drew their swords from their waists, and stabbed them at the knight's steed, legs, and feet.

Luo Ming did not have the financial resources to equip all spearmen with swords as additional secondary weapons, even the most common ones, but 20% of the veterans were still equipped with swords, and they generally stood in the front row and could be useful when the enemy approached.

Soon, the warrior, who had managed to break into the phalanx, could not cope with the flanking attacks from all directions, and fell down with his men and horses, shouting to kill the enemy before he died.

However, the more heroic he became, the more it made the Berans shudder at the sight of his death.
