227 Shen Hengdou turned 7
"What are they doing?" One of the Tournest hussars asked his companions, and in front of them, after a period of confusion, the northerners began to move again, this time, the northerners did not mount their horses, and their horses were gathered in the middle like their baggage, and only a few were still riding on horseback, "Are they ready to change to infantry?" ”
"They were meant to be infantry." "You can see how bad their riding skills are, and they won't fight when they're on horseback," said his companion, "and I wish they all continued to ride, so that it would be easier for us to get them together." ”
"Hey, you two! See if they've moved? Let's get to work! The captain turned around and shouted at them as he rode past them, "The big army won't be able to catch up for a while, if we stay with them a little longer, the big army will catch up a moment sooner!" ”
"Yes." The two hussars trotted up, and they didn't have to run very fast, for they were only on foot.
They were given the order to "block", not "disperse", so instead of attacking the team's heavily loaded guards, they made a detour all the way back to where the northerners' strikers were, "Alright, guys, let's drive the sheep back!" Their captain greeted.
But this time, the other party did not stop to form a formation, although they were already on foot, and the formation was much more convenient than just now.
They continued to advance against the cavalry, as if the cavalry that was charging towards them did not exist.
"Huh? Do they think we're just scaring them? The captain shouted, "Guys, do it!" ”
Experienced battles with those nobles around the parish of Tournest. The cavalry captain is very confident in the horsepower on his side, even if the opponent has cavalry protection. These cavalry were also some cavalry who could not catch up with them, if there was any difference between them and the Neustrian noble cavalry they had come into contact with before, except for their horsemanship. That is, their horses were worse than the noble cavalry of Neustria - because their horses were stolen, the horses and riders were not trained at all, and many of the horses were not war horses at all.
It's a pity that the northerners also knew this, and did not stupidly ride on their horses and wait for them to attack, but dismounted and formed a formation before they rushed in front of them, otherwise, it would be difficult to shoot some rockets over, and these improvised cavalry could be called to bomb the camp.
At that time, there was a lot of fun!
The captain thought with regret. Once the opposing position is dispersed, these clumsy cavalry will face their one-sided slaughter, even if the total number is far less than that of the opponent, relying on horsepower, they can concentrate their forces and break through each one, first eating the stragglers with bad horses and poor horsemanship, and then eating the elite soldiers who have abandoned their baggage and companions and wandered to exhaustion in strange lands...... Slowly divide and surround the opponent and eat it, that is the most refreshing time for the cavalry...... It's a pity that the other party is not stupid to this extent......
What a pity.
"Shoot!"
Hearing the captain's order, the cavalrymen immediately raised their crossbows for the sake of horses. Take turns shooting at the opposing striker.
Yes, unlike the traditional Neustrian cavalry, these cavalry could shoot on galloping horses, although with the exception of a few geniuses. There was still some distance from their hostess's expectations, but there was no need for them to shoot a particular person. They are crossbowmen, not snipers.
What is the red heart if you can't shoot the ten rings. Even if the arrows always fly to the target of the two people next to you during training, you don't have to worry about your accuracy, there are so many enemies in front of you. Horizontal and vertical arrows either fly towards this enemy or at that enemy, and they will never fly upside down towards their own people. Of course, this is not to say that they shoot indiscriminately with their eyes closed and do not aim, they just do not shoot at a specific person, but at a designated area.
"Look! As guessed, they do not intercept our captives and baggage. Adair said, guessing the other man's actions, but there was no joy in his voice, "They don't covet the spoils of war, and they don't want to stop us from giving them orders of higher priority." "Even if they were not tempted by the loot at their fingertips, but carried out orders, albeit somewhat rigid, and presumably in the absence of their commander-in-chief, this obedience to discipline was more terrible than their superb horsemanship.
It turned out that he hoped to ambush them while they were fighting for the spoils of war, and kill them back with a carbine...... It's really flattering to throw it to the eunuch.
"Adair! You're hurt! The man next to him exclaimed, blood pouring down his hands.
"I know, now the summons is suspended."
When the northerners stopped them, so did the cavalry, and since the other side had stopped, they felt the need to waste their horsepower and arrows.
"How can these dogs' teeth be so sharp...... "In order to convince the others to dismount and walk, and deliberately put the baggage captives behind, Adair put those warriors who opposed the abandonment of the baggage behind to protect the baggage, and himself took the lead in carrying the shield and stood in the first column, he had seen the unknown cavalry shoot at Stein and the others from a distance, and he knew that they could shoot arrows without dismounting.
This is why he insisted on moving, it is clear that the other side is not afraid of their long axe formation, these cavalry did not attack them because they were afraid of casualties, because they did not have to get close to the range of the long axe to attack them, and the reason why they stopped when they saw them forming a formation was because they had to wait for their large army.
However, the ferocity of these immediate shooters was beyond his expectations, and the shields made of wood were pierced by the steel arrows of these men......
"How? Do you still insist on fighting them? He showed his men the hole in his shield and his own bloody wounds.
He was answered by a long silence.
"Are you the rescuers sent by the king?" A knight rode on his horse, and he shouted, "You are coming so fast! It's fast! I'm Spee, a knight of the Grand Abbey, and I've been waiting for you for a long time, damned northerners...... Wait a minute? ”
Apparently, his eyesight was not as good as his voice, for he realized that the two heavily armed knights who were surrounded by a small group of horsemen were two ladies.
"Rescuers sent by the king?" Luo Yi wondered, where did this come from? "I am the daughter of Count Fisher, Baroness Brad." She replied aloud, "Those damned northerners have plundered Count Fisher's territory, and we want to take back what belongs to us!" ”
"What?" Spee glared at her in astonishment—she, what was she talking nonsense? (To be continued......)
