If it is the traditional Neustrian cavalry, the northerners are not afraid, and over the past many years, they have repeatedly fought against the cavalry of Newstria and other countries, and they have rarely been defeated. Their long-handled tomahawks could not be lifted by the weaker men, but they thrive in the bitter cold winds of the Far North
Strong men, fed with the fat of fish and sea beasts, can be used as easily as a Neustrian wielding a hand axe. Those who fought with them on the battlefield were horrified to see them chop their horses down with this axe.
Although the cavalry of Neustrian was not very good among the nations of the same clan, there was no other country in which the northerners swept the horsemen who could achieve a record worthy of the northerners. Yes, the northerners are not the kind of hillbillies who have not seen the world, although they are infantry, but a herd of horseback
people can't scare them!
Of course, this is not to say that a northerner infantry can withstand a Neustrian cavalry, in which case they would not need to be strictly disciplined. They are not disciplined because they like to be disciplined, but because discipline can restrain them from infighting
Groups of unknown or vengesive people from scattered small tribes against the Neustrian force were summed up in armed raids and approved by all of them.
This behavior can also be seen in animals, such as the coyote, which can easily hunt rabbits and rats for food in the spring and summer, and live in a family-by-family manner. And when it comes to the harsh winter, they have to attack the big prey. It will gather into large colonies of dozens of individuals
Act together and wait until the weather is warm and the little prey appears. These robbers from the north are similar to coyotes. Their behavior is determined by their prey, not by themselves. In fact, in those areas where they are well fortified, united and heavily armed, they feel that they cannot take advantage of it
These robbers, like the glorious ancient Greeks, will change from vicious pirates to merchants who come to trade in a second.
Unfortunately, Neustria, however, was a country riddled with holes, and in its early years it contributed a great deal of wealth and manpower to the church rather than to national defense, allowing the northerners to take advantage of it. In the years that followed. Unable to work together, some of the nobles fled to the church for comfort, while others simply fled to the north
People, those nobles with different intentions have defected more than once on the battlefield, so that the efforts of those who are interested in defending the country have been wasted again and again.
It was because of these weaknesses in Neustria that the chieftains of the northerners regarded the country as their pasture and cows, and when they felt that their treasury was lacking, they took up their famous longships and came across the sea, bringing the shadow of terror down to Neustria and up to the king. down to each of the serfs
on the head. One of their chiefs, Ulrich, even led his people to swagger and settle on the country's soil, while the rightful king of Neustria had to rely on marriage to his daughter to keep his rule afloat.
But this time they encountered a different enemy than they had encountered before, when the cavalry rushed towards them. They dismounted, raised their axes, and huddled tightly together, as they had done in the past. Prepare to fend off enemy onslaught and knock down horses in dense formations.
They were not stupid enough to fight the Neustrians on horseback, though they had horses. But it is not cavalry, not an infantry who can boast of being a cavalryman when he rides on a horse. Even with the help of saddles and stirrups, many barbarians had only mounted infantry and no real horsemen for a long time after owning horses
Soldier. As Luo Yi saw before, a man who was going to fight on horseback in the future, he had to do a lot of hard training when he was a young boy. A popular game among squires who aim to be knights is to ride a horse and take a spear to hit a rotating target, if the unlucky guy doesn't do it correctly
If you hit the center of the target, you will be knocked off the horse by the rotating target.
The northerners were not trained as knights in Neustria, and all they could do was sit on horseback and drive instead of fighting on horseback, and it was not easy to control the horses under them while wielding a long-handled axe, especially if they were riding stolen horses, and they were not trained to cooperate with each other at all.
Their leader was clear-headed, and knew that although he looked imposing on horseback, his men who had not been trained as knights could not fight on horseback, so he ordered them to dismount and resist the attack of the Neustrian cavalry, as they had experienced.
However, the horsemen did not rush into their ranks, but they galloped forward, but when they saw them dismount and assemble in a dense formation, they rode away, neither challenging them, nor attempting to scatter them with their spears.
"They're scared."
Having those victories of the past, the northerners easily came to this conclusion, and then they each mounted their horses and prepared to continue the march towards their goal, the Great Abbey.
Then those cavalry returned, and the northerners had to dismount again, hurriedly huddle together to discharge a dense formation against the onslaught of the cavalry, and then, again, these light cavalry withdrew, without a challenge, without a fight, without anything.
The agitated northerners hurriedly got on their horses and prepared to hurry.
The unknown hussars are here again.
"!" Before Adair could stop them, a group of centaurs had galloped out, their faces flushed, swearing, and brandishing axes, trying to give the pesky flies a good look. In fact, they did not think of catching up with each other, after all, they were not experienced riders, and the other party could be seen to have skilled riding skills. This reckless action of theirs is not so much to fight the other as to scare them in turn as the other scares them.
But as soon as they broke away from the group, the light cavalry showed their hideous faces, and they gathered together almost in the blink of an eye, relying on their horsepower, and took turns to charge at the unfortunate men who had broken away from the group, and attacked them with strangely shaped bows and arrows, and shiny long knives and lassoes, and those who were barely sitting on horseback were no match for these light cavalry, who could not shoot arrows on their horses, nor did they have time to dismount and form a dense formation to resist the onslaught of the cavalry, but on the contrary, the horses under them greatly hindered them at this time, so that their combat effectiveness is less than half of the usual.
Not a single person had time to flee back to the main force. (To be continued......)
