If the light cavalry and the heavy knights were to fight hard, it would definitely be asking for their own hardship.

However, the light cavalry under the command of the thin monkey took advantage of their speed and intercepted the enemy's heavy cavalry at a distance of six or seven hundred meters from the main battlefield, and then immediately the whole army turned to the left and circled and divided into two groups.

One of the light horsemen rushed straight to the side and broke away from the heavy cavalry line, while the other turned around and ran back, turning their backs to the enemy, and both groups looked frightened and trying to flee the battlefield.

When the coalition generals saw such a funny scene, they didn't dare to laugh anymore, and secretly looked at Elliott, wondering what else the boss could say about this "respectable opponent".

Elliot didn't say anything, just frowned slightly, his delicate and gorgeous face was slightly puzzled, and a slender white finger pointed at his jaw in a pensive gesture.

This kind of feminine shape will inevitably cause some subordinates to slander:

"Our king, the sissy is to the extreme, but it's still so vicious...... By the way, the king is in his twenties, why don't he grow a beard?"

At this moment, the light cavalry rushing to the north suddenly turned around and circled behind the heavy cavalry.

Nearly 1,000 elite hoplites were caught between two light cavalry, their spears could not stab the enemy, but the enemy's arrows rained down from the front and back.

These light horsemen are also bow horses!

Changle had 700 light horsemen, of which 600 were "part-time" archers with short bows on their backs, and 100 "professional" archers with elven strongbows.

In fact, these 100 archers include not only human soldiers trained in elven strongbows, but also elven archers who have learned horsemanship, and are the most adept at riding and archery.

The archers run in front, turn around and shoot head-on, each elven armor-piercing arrow can penetrate the knight's heavy armor, and each round of arrow rain will cause dozens of knights to fall from their horses!

Six hundred ordinary light cavalry have also practiced riding and archery for a long time, and their accuracy is guaranteed to a certain extent, but they have not yet been able to pull the elven strong bow, and the strength of the short bow cannot penetrate the iron can-shaped knight armor, so they follow behind the heavy cavalry.

Their goal is where there is no armor cover, it is sycophancy!

The trick of "shooting horses" was created by Changle, and it was also due to his discovery of the weakness of heavy riding: focusing on frontal defense, ignoring the back, especially the protection behind the horse.

When the light rider relies on the advantage of mobility to move behind the heavy rider, this weakness is infinitely magnified.

The knights held their shields in one hand and spears in the other, and even if there was a backrest on the saddle, they could not withstand such bumps and undulations, and soon they would fall off their horses with a "bang", and their spears and shields would fly out of their hands.

The knights who fell off their horses were no longer threatened, and those with a slightly lower cultivation level would be pressed to the ground by the armor and could not move, so the light horse stepped over them and continued to chase and kill the rest of the targets.

When they get closer to the other side at a faster speed, they will take off a chain hammer from the side of the saddle, throw it a few times, round it, and smash it indiscriminately at the back of the knight's head and neck.

The light cavalry is equipped with a chain hammer to restrain heavy armor targets, which is the recommendation of Captain Elton of Wild Rose Camp, because metal plate armor has strong defense against sharp weapons and relatively poor resistance to blunt weapons.

At that time, Chang Le thought so, and began to purchase or make his own in large quantities, and also let the soldiers practice and use it diligently, and today it shows its great power for the first time.

The hammer head is very small, weighing between five and ten kilograms, but once it is shaken and rotated at high speed, the impact force is unimaginable, and it can completely make up for the lack of strength of the soldiers, and deliver a heavy blow comparable to that of a high-level cultivator.

If the light horse hedges, the one with the chain hammer can't beat the saber, because it is not flexible, but one thing drops one thing, and today's opponent is a heavy horse!

With a slam bang, the armor sank down, blood spurted out, and the noble knight fell under the horse, and died without looking at it.

The knights tried to resist, but they rushed forward, their spears pointing forward, but the attack came from behind, and the heavy armor and saddle backs limited the flexibility of the return to fight, and they were almost used as targets.

The knight commander with a red tassel on his helmet roared loudly, ordering the front row to continue the assault and the back row to meet on the spot.

"Fighting" is not so easy, hundreds of kilograms of heavy armor inertia, resulting in the horse is difficult to stop, to "trample" continuous pedal to slow down for a long time, before turning around, the light horse has already whistling past, easy to reward a chain hammer.

At this point in the battle, the heavy armor did not bring any advantage to the knight, but became a burden, like a big crab, wielding its giant claws in vain in front of the agile skua, but it could not stop the bird's beak from piercing fatally again and again.

The description of "crab" may be unfair, but the knights' fighting spirit is worthy of respect.

Those who fell and those who remained to meet them fought hard under all kinds of adverse conditions, and inflicted many casualties on the pursuing light cavalry, until they were knocked down and trampled by the superior opponent, and had to let out a final roar.

The knights who continued to charge ignored the archers' shots, ignored the fall of their companions, and even ignored the arrows in their shoulders and legs, but leaned forward, raised their shields to protect the vital points, and galloped towards the left flank of the Changle army.

The distance of five hundred meters was fleeting, and the few remaining hoplites finally rushed into the crowd, knocking a series of light infantry into a screaming flight, spears piercing through the body, and provoking the victims to throw out, stirring up a rain of blood.

This is their last glory.

After a brief and brutal killing, the remaining 100 knights in more than 100 costumes also fell off their horses, after all, most of them had arrow wounds, and their bodies were already difficult to balance, some of their mounts were tripped and overturned, and some were grabbed and torn off by the infantry.

Then the infantry and elven archers swarmed up, swords and swords pierced through the seams of the armor, quickly ending the lives of the noble knights.

Nearly 1,000 heavily armed knights, who should have been the kings of the battlefield, died in such a nest, and their corpses were covered with a charge road more than 600 meters long.

The commander of the coalition forces, Elliott, couldn't help but get up, and watched with a little amazement as all the ace troops were annihilated.

The generals around the command platform were even more earthy.

At this time, no one laughed at anything else, "using light horses to deal with heavy horses, there is something wrong with the head".

The light cavalry has always been tasked with scouting and harassing, also known as "rangers" or "scout cavalry", and these people never expected to be able to throw light cavalry into a decisive battle on a large scale.

"It turns out that you are indeed rubbish!"

Elliot glanced contemptuously at his subordinates, then looked at Chang Le's figure from afar, a strange smile on his lips.

Elliott, who had suffered a heavy loss, was laughing, but Chang Le, who took advantage of it, did not have much joy.

With a solemn expression, he first ordered the light cavalry to keep moving along the battle line, continue to provide "fire support" to the infantry, and not easily get involved in the melee, and then turned his gaze to Lola.

Lola slowly removed her barrel helmet and looked thoughtfully at the path of blood on her left flank.

She is the captain of the Imperial Ace Heavy Cavalry Regiment, and she has always been proud of her qualifications, and even more proud of her status as the "King of the Battlefield" of the Heavy Cavalry. So at this moment, the strange destruction of the enemy's heavy cavalry seemed to make it difficult for her to be happy.

Chang Le also turned his gaze back to the direction in which the knights died in battle, and sighed softly:

"Whatever they have done to civilians, these people are really brave in fighting. ”

Lola was still silent, and only looked at Chang Le after a long time:

"You want to tell me that bravery alone can't win a battle?"

Chang Le nodded.

Lola frowned:

"If one day I become your enemy, will you use this vile tactics against me?"

"Despicable?haha! As long as you can win the battle and protect all the people who should be protected, you are truly noble!" Chang Le replied with a smile, and then suddenly turned his face to look at Lola, "What did you just say, you will become my enemy?"

"Who knows, I think...... You're getting farther and farther away from me, and it's as if you're fading into the darkness, and you can't see clearly......"

Lola has always been rough and nervous, but at this moment, her expression is more complex than ever, and her words are a hundred times more delicate than before.

But after a few moments, she regained her determination and drew her sword, removed the armor of her left hand, and cut a wound on the back of her wrist, and red blood gushed out and flowed along her fair skin.

"What are you doing?" Chang Le was startled, but he didn't have time to stop it.

"It's nothing, I was unfaithful to you just now, and I should be punished!"

Lola moved quickly, quickly put on the iron gloves, buckled the barrel helmet back into her head, and shouted:

"I'm going crazy, I'm going to kill someone! If you don't give the order, I'll do it myself!"

Chang Le turned his face to look at the battle line filled with shouts and screams, and found that there were no more tricks available, and the infantry on both sides who were fighting together would decide whether they would win or lose.

The right flanks of both armies had collapsed, and the left flank protruded forward, vying to outflank the center.

Once a large melee is formed without a formation, the side with a clear numerical disadvantage will lose.

The only way to maintain the battle line and maintain the superiority of the formation is to immediately contain the enemy's left flank!

Among the several generals he sent to participate in the front-line fight, Victor is not a big problem, Miranda is still shouting and fighting, and the most scarred and most critical is also the right-wing Louis.

It's time for the last trump card!

So Chang Le smiled at Lola:

"Blow the trumpet, gather your brethren, and I will rush with you!"
