Chapter 148

In the memory of the older generation, there are still many people who remember this flag, a flag that is no different from a robber. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoMore people remember the teenager who did not hesitate to do anything to civilians who raised weapons. That's right, for him, as long as you mention weapons, you are the enemy, there is no so-called civilian and soldier in war, the only difference is that one has a weapon and one does not have a weapon. The so-called chivalry is nothing but mercy for those who dare not resist.

The "Red Panther Knights" were actually better at fighting on this terrain, but for some reason, Frederick III chose to defend after he ascended the throne and built a castle of steel. The real torrent of steel that galloped on the steppe was imprisoned, and the herders of the Sphinx region slowly forgot about this flag, which only existed in the memory of some people.

When the old man saw this flag, he subconsciously wanted to run quickly, after all, the shadow of his childhood was still deeply imprinted in his heart. But then I thought about it, it was no longer what it used to be, and the boy who killed people without blinking was definitely no longer in the army, and now Oslan and Satya were allies in the common fight against the enemy.

Yes, due to the instability of the nomads' dwellings, they are much slower to obtain information than in the big cities. Especially for those who are located in remote areas, it is common for them to enter the city once every few months to learn the latest war information. None of them knew about Edwin's mutiny, let alone that the sudden appearance of the knightly force was coming for them. The last time they entered the city, the city of Ankara had not yet fallen, and they thought that these were friendly forces that had come to support.

Because of this, everyone waited quietly for the army to approach until the two sides were less than a mile away. Sam was the first to notice that something was wrong, the knights were marching too fast, and would hardly march at this speed in order to reduce damage to the horses' hooves. This kind of speed is only available when charging!

Sam only felt a chill in his back, and all the knights' masks were pulled down, which was abnormal!"Run!" Sam pushed away the young man next to him, and ran to the nearest horse.

Before everyone could figure out what was going on with the old man, Sam rolled over and got on his horse, and when he saw that the men were still stunned, he turned the horse's head and shouted, "They pulled down their masks to charge!"

Everyone was taken aback, and turned to look at the knights who were getting closer and closer. There were only a few hundred meters left, and all the knights took down the knight's spears hanging from the side of their horses at the command of the leading Silver Armor General. That's when they realized that these knights were coming for them at all!

The herdsmen hurriedly climbed onto the nearest horse, and the whip whipped wildly on the horse, and the spurs on their feet pierced deep into the flesh of the mount. The aching horses let go of their hooves and began to accelerate, and the nomads were so skilled at riding that no one could stop them as long as they let go of their speed.

The distance between the two sides was so close that the herdsmen could clearly see the chain mail on the knight's body glittering with an eerie color in the sunlight. The Oslan Empire's cavalry ranks were strange, and the empire spent a lot of money to acquire a large number of heavy cavalry plate armor from the nobles in various places, and built an elite army of steel on this basis. Perhaps it was due to the monopoly of the Imperial Military Department on materials, in short, the number of heavy cavalry units of the nobles in the current Oslan Empire was very small except for the regular army. A large noble family like the average can now have a heavy cavalry squad of 100 people, which is considered extremely wealthy.

The heavy cavalry is like this, if it can't form a strategically important phalanx, then its existence value is not as important as the light cavalry. So now the knight troops of the nobles of the Oslan Empire are generally light cavalry, so what if the very rich nobles want to show off their wealth and want a domineering cavalry but are afraid of being bought by the state? In fact, cavalry wearing chain mail is also considered heavy cavalry, after all, their role in the war is also to raid the front against the charge. However, the Imperial War Department abandoned these cavalry, who did not wear heavy plate armor, out of consideration for the uniformity of the regular army.

For example, the Oslan Empire attaches great importance to trade, and many outstanding merchants have been exceptionally promoted to lifelong nobles of the empire. Nothing money can buy for them, so they like to dress up their knight troops more. Rare metals, ores worth more than gold by weight, were targeted by these nobles.

I have to say that Celtic's vision is still very poisonous, and nearly one-third of the chain mail cavalry in the noble knight troops brought out this time are wearing chain mail made of rare metal. Naturally, the herders don't understand these things, and even if they do, they won't make any difference to what is happening in front of them. The best thing about rare metals is that they can greatly reduce the weight of armor while increasing the hardness, if a normal chain mail plus chest goggles weighs 30 kilograms, then the chain mail set mixed with rare metals will be reduced to about 20 kilograms, and the hardness and durability are far more than ordinary chain mail.

The mounts under the crotches of such expensive cavalrymen must be first-class, and although the herdsmen have very outstanding riding skills, the horses that they have no choice but to sit on can only be average. After all, there are excellent Maxima horses that have long been sold by them, and they have no money to keep them to ride. Maybe the knight on the other side is sitting down now, and someone has bought it from them.

Dozens of knights in chain mail began to outflank from both sides at an incredible speed, and the tense atmosphere made the hearts of all the herdsmen feel extremely anxious. How is this possible? In their minds, it is impossible for these cavalrymen in metal equipment to catch up with them. But the ever-shortening distance crushed the last shred of hope in their hearts.

The fast knights put down their knightly guns and drew their swords for melee combat, while the slow knights in the rear leveled their knightly spears, completely blocking their way to retreat.

"Listen, everyone! I now order you to dismount and surrender, and throw away your weapons, or you will be killed!" "Since we are newly promoted nobles, and the first year's salary has not yet been paid, our great Celtic Marquis has been pulled away by the knights in front of us, and we have to shout loudly in the rear.
