Chapter Fifty-Six: Another Encounter with the Enemy

In the wars on the mainland, the heavy cavalry played an important role, mainly because of its ability to conquer everything on the battlefield. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoExcept for the formed phalanx of heavy infantry and the same number of heavy cavalry phalanxes, nothing can stop the hooves of the heavy cavalry. Especially the light cavalry and light infantry, there was no place for a battle at all. It was not until the invasion of alien soldiers that this situation was completely changed, and the alien light cavalry far surpassed the continental light cavalry in terms of quality and horsemanship. Only their light cavalry could shoot arrows on horseback, and in the years that followed, the continental heavy cavalry suffered losses from the alien light cavalry, mainly because of their tactics of retreating in a battle. The speed of the alien light cavalry far exceeded that of the heavy cavalry, and the number of heavy cavalry was constantly consumed with short bows, and the number of opponents was suppressed before they were charged. Wearing bamboo and wood chain mail and armed with a long sword, the alien light cavalry is adept at attacking the opposing line from the flank. The effect of the Pu knife on the knight hedge is not obvious, but it is different when it comes to the hand-to-hand combat between the two armies, whether it is a knight's spear or a knight's sword, the maximum lethality is still thorns, but the lethality of the alien light cavalry wearing bamboo and wood chain mail is quite limited. At this time, the effect of the Changpu knife is very obvious, whether it is cut on the neck or on the mount, it is a fatal injury.

-- "Polemics, Arms, Heavy Cavalry"

"We are still half a day away from Tallinn Fort, and if we escape, we will be dead. "As a squad leader of the cavalry team, I know very well the speed of the knights on both sides. Moreover, heavy cavalry is not suitable for long-distance running, and knights with heavy armor on their backs will be tired of running for dozens of miles.

"That can't leave you alone, maybe we can send someone to Tallinnburg for help first, and we will move in the direction of Tallinnburg. ”

Watching the dust on the horizon fly higher and higher, it is more dangerous to hesitate for a minute now. The squad leader immediately arranged for two sentries to rush to Tallinn Fort first, then the diplomatic team, and finally the knights.

In order to ensure the next battle, the knights behind the palace did not move forward at full speed, but it didn't take long for the front team to stop.

"Damn, how did those guys in Tallinn Castle do it, so many people infiltrated without warning?" No wonder the squad leader scolded, and a whole three squads of alien light cavalry were waiting in front at this time.

"Friends ahead, can you get out of the way for us to pass?" Frank shouted at them, regardless of whether they understood or not.

The leading alien knight turned to exchange words with the cavalry behind him, and the knight removed the bow and arrow from his back, and there was a bowstring sound. A short arrow was stuck at Frank's feet, and the meaning of the declaration of war was already clear.

"There's no way, it doesn't make sense, so I can only rush over. Frank returned to the queue. The knights of the escort assembled in front of the legation and formed a wing-shaped charge.

"Follow us and don't be left behind. At the sound of the order, a hundred knights let go of the reins in their hands, and the horses, which had long been unable to hold back, spread their hooves and began to charge. The men of the envoys drew their swords and followed, hoping to break through the enemy's encirclement with this charge, and if they waited for the light cavalry behind to surround them, they would not be able to escape.

"Kill, kill, kill!" The distance of two hundred meters was very short for the knight, and the hundred knights who had just accelerated flattened the knight's guns in their hands at the same time.

Bert and Erin threw all kinds of auxiliary magic on the knights in front at the same time, and several monks of the Holy See chanted high-level defensive magic loudly, and for a while, the sun shone on all the knights, and the knights within the range of the light began to glow white.

It is estimated that the enemy on the opposite side did not expect that such a team of less than two hundred people could have so many magicians, and they were stunned and motionless.

A hundred meters, the knight at the front could see even the flickering light of the hussar's blade. At this moment, all the light cavalry scattered in all directions, and the horses that had lost their stiffness dodged the incoming charge at great speed.

The first rain of arrows then fell, and the monks deliberately cast a high-level magic "Bright Shield" specifically targeting the physics department, and the three hundred arrows collided with the magic shield almost simultaneously. The Divine Magic Elves immediately flew out under the impact of the short arrows, and the knights breathed a sigh of relief. The physical defense of the "Bright Aegis" is still quite strong, and none of the knights have been shot by short arrows.

Many light cavalry ran out and went around in a circle, shooting arrows from the flanks, and only the knights with magic shields in front of them hurriedly raised their knightly shields in their hands. Fortunately, there were not many arrows in this wave, and only two knights were shot off their horses.

"Raging winds, transform into powerful guardians!" It's hard to gather magic spirits quickly on a bumpy horse, and the "wind elemental" is the most consistent magic Bert can cast right now. An air elemental with a knife materialized in the air, and without Bert's command, the wind elemental immediately pounced on the nearest light cavalry.

Several mid-level slowing spells were thrown out by Eileen, and Ice and Snow aimed at her mount, and the light cavalry with reduced movement speed was immediately overtaken by the wind elemental. After a few turns, the first hussar was cut down, and the wind elemental immediately pounced on the next target.

The "wind elemental" is a high-level magic that works very well on ordinary warriors, and the light cavalry on the flanks are forced to retreat, constantly suppressing the wind element with bows and arrows.

"Damn, it's so uncomfortable to be kite-flyed. The captain found that he couldn't catch up at all, the cunning light cavalry didn't hedge against them at all, they all switched to bows and arrows, and the color of the magic shield kept dimming, and if it continued like this, he couldn't wait for reinforcements to arrive.

"Don't they have a bit of chivalry? What kind of fucking knights!" the captain was angry.

"I'll speed you up, and Ireen slow down the cavalry in front. Bert's heart spun at will, and the speed of the several heavy cavalry around him sped up a lot.

The knight on the opposite side who was slowed down shouted that Erin's slowdown spell lasted very long, and the light cavalry without magic resistance equipment would soon be overtaken.

The captain of the opposing side shouted a few words, and the pursuing hussars immediately stopped, turned their horses' heads and rushed towards them. "That's just like the words, brothers, kill these cowards for me!" the team leader casually threw away the shield in his hand and rushed to the front with his gun in both hands.

The light cavalry, which had lost its mobility, was not a heavyweight contest at all, and a dozen light cavalry were swallowed up by the torrent of steel in an instant. However, at this time, the "Bright Shield" also shattered in the impact, and almost at the same time, the rain of arrows in the sky also fell, and their target was the envoy group behind the heavy cavalry.

Blood rushed into the sky along with the flying dust, and the envoys and monks without heavy armor were summoned by death at the same time.
