Chapter 462: Confrontation
The first thing to greet the ruling knight was a burst of heavy crossbow arrows, the range of the Fuyuan crossbow equipped by the Tang army can reach three hundred steps, more than four hundred meters, such a strong crossbow is enough to penetrate the knight's armor, even if the armor has been reinforced by magic, under the powerful crossbow arrows, it can only be hated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After all, the armor of these ruling knights was only standard equipment, and the crude craftsmanship and despicable iron-smelting technology made them impossible to compare with the crossbow arrows of the Tang Army.
After a wave of volcanic crossbows, there were arm crossbows with a range of two hundred and thirty paces, and single-bow crossbows with a range of one hundred and sixty paces. As the Judge Knight approached, wave after wave of powerful crossbow blows almost completely overwhelmed the Knight of Judgment's charge.
The bow and crossbow is the standard equipment of the Tang army, the equipment rate can be said to be 100 percent, one per person, the Tang army pays the most attention to the use of the bow and crossbow, especially when the two sides enter the distance of a hundred steps, the bow and arrow also join the shooting ranks, and the dense arrow rain makes the knights almost feel desperate.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air continued to pass by the adjudicating knights, and one of the knights fell from their horses with arrows, and in an instant disappeared into the hooves of the knights flying behind them. A hundred steps is very close. In just a few breaths, the ruling knights in the front row pierced through the rain of arrows and came to the front of the Tang army's formation.
To greet these knights is the Mo Dao Battalion, all of which are composed of tall and burly Longxi men The average height of the Mo Dao Battalion is about 1.9 meters, all of them have big shoulders and round waists, and they are powerful, they stand sideways and line up tightly, holding the Mo knife in both hands and holding it high above their heads, and they are slashing down at the head of the knights who rush over.
The thick Mo knife is double-edged, the blade is extremely sharp, coupled with the strange power of the Mo knife hand, the knights in the first row were split in half almost without any resistance, and the knight armor they were proud of and the war horse under the crotch were neatly split by the Mo knife without hindrance.
There was no scream, no scream, everything that stood in front of the Mo Dao was split in half, this blow made the pupils of the knight behind him shrink instantly, such a terrible wrestler has never heard of it.
After the blow, the Mo Dao Men gasped and quickly raised the Mo Knife to prepare for the next attack, and the second row of knights in the high-speed impact rushed over without having time to react. Some knights, intimidated by the terrifying attack power of the Mo Sword, made a clever rein to make the war horse jump over the head of the Mo Sword Hand, but unfortunately this had no effect at all.
Mo Dao is still split under the neat movements of Mo Dao hand, no matter whether the war horse is in mid-air or on the ground, it is still divided in half, the difference is that the jumping referee knight is only split from the crotch, but the upper body is intact, and they can only let out bursts of painful screams when they have not yet lost their breath, reminding the knights behind.
Although the attack power of the Mo knife is extremely strong, the requirements for the Mo knife hand are also extremely high, just five slashes, these Mo knife hands are a little out of breath, they retreat quickly under the cover of the heavy infantry behind, and disappear into the shield of the heavy armor infantry.
The Knights of the Judge, who had suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Modao Battalion, would not let go of this good moment, and as they continued to charge forward, they stood up and chanted a psalm in praise of the God of Light.
The Blade of Light is a spell that attaches a layer of light to a knight's sword, which can not only destroy all evil spells, but also increase the sharpness and strength of the knight's sword.
The Guardian of Light is to attach a layer of light power to the magically blessed knight's armor, which can make the knight's armor stronger, but repeated application will affect the life of the knight's armor.
These two magic skills are the specialty of the Divine Judgment Knights, and without the terrifying Modao Battalion, the Judgment Knights have the confidence to break through the enemy army and avenge the knights who died in the previous battle. While not all Knights of the Divine Judgment are capable of casting these two divine spells, the knights who have been cast have become the backbone of the attack.
Knights constantly rushed into the formation of the Tang army's heavy armored infantry with war horses, knocking the heavy armored soldiers who stood in front of them into the air, and from time to time there were unarmed shields crossing the sky.
However, the tenacity of the heavy armored soldiers of the Tang Army was beyond the expectations of the ruling knights, often the knights crashed into a heavy armored soldier, and after rushing into their formation, there were constantly heavy armored soldiers squeezing around, and the ruling knights without impact could only rely on their own martial arts to support, but most of them could only drink and hate in the sea of enemy soldiers.
The hoplites were like a riverbank embankment, and the knights of the judder continued to rush into their position like a tidal wave, but they were never able to break through this heavily armored dam. Gradually, the ruling knights fell under siege by the infantry of the Don army.
The Adjudicator Knights felt that there were shiny horizontal knives everywhere, and the Tang Army infantry was like a swamp of mud that made the Adjudicator Knight sink into it. Knights who have lost their impact power, no matter how well they have practiced martial arts, in this situation where there are enemy troops on all sides, ten percent of their martial arts skills cannot play one or two points, and they can only parry the enemy's attacks indiscriminately, waiting for the rescue of the knight squires who follow them.
It's a pity that the knight squire at this moment is also difficult to protect himself. Due to the heavy losses in the siege battle, there were only 1,000 men left in the original two or three thousand attendants, and they were completely inadequate in the face of the Tang cavalry outflanked from the left and right flanks.
The knight squires were the first on the Alpha Continent to try the strength of the Tang Army's cavalry. Most of these Tang cavalry are composed of young nobles from good families or naturalized Hu people, and they have a high sense of identity and honor for the powerful Tang Dynasty, and even those Hu cavalry have an almost religious worship of the Tang Dynasty, and they fight desperately in exchange for honor in all battles. And now, these scattered knight squires in front of them have become the active military merits of the Tang cavalry.
Knight squires are not protected by knightly armor like the ruling knights, and those who can buy a chain mail for themselves are rare, and most of the squires can only wear a leather armor, while their opponents are the Tang cavalry, which is almost armed to the teeth.
Not only the infantry of the Tang Army, but also the Tang Army's extensive use of bows and crossbows, even among the cavalry, everyone was equipped with a horn bow. Although the angular bow used by the cavalry was soft, with a range of less than 100 paces, it was not bad with the high speed of the cavalry.
A burst of cavalry bow shooting from a long distance, rushing to the front and back rows of snowy horizontal knives waved in the hands of the Tang cavalry, and the knight squires who were already frustrated and demoralized had no room for resistance at all, so they were quickly scattered and divided.
