Chapter 262: Fighting the Cavalry

The muffled grunt was made by the merchant, who gritted his teeth in fear of frightening the baby in his arms. After a volley, the cavalry did not continue to release the arrows, having already lost those brothers, and could not let them go so easily.

The captain of the cavalry roared, his heels slammed into the ribs of the horse, and the horse galloped wildly, withdrew his bow from the camel bag, and picked up the long sword at his waist.

The cavalry that followed also drew their weapons, and all but two men with swords had their spears removed from their backs.

The spear is basically the standard weapon of every cavalry, and the lethality of the spear is more suitable for cavalry than the sword on the battlefield. Of course, this is only limited to ordinary troops, and when a new recruit joins the cavalry team, the first thing he gets is a spear, and after accumulating a certain amount of experience, he can be qualified to use a short-handled weapon.

This is not a training system for the safety of soldiers, but a training system formed out of real needs. During the war years, soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and cavalry, as a powerful charging branch, suffered heavy attrition.

However, it takes a lot of time and effort to train a good cavalryman, and it doesn't take so many resources to train a cavalry that can be sent to death.

In any case, the recruits must first learn to use spears, and in special battles, these recruits are sent into battle, spears in their hands are responsible for breaking through enemy defenses, and then experienced veterans completely tear through the enemy's defensive lines.

The training methods of the army were gradually learned by the people, and some samurai who were not very skilled in riding were able to exert a powerful attack on horseback, relying entirely on the advantage brought by the spear.

These people don't need to fight people on horseback, they just need to keep themselves safe. Even if the horse is dead. After they dismounted, they still had a certain amount of combat effectiveness.

Over time, the spear became the best partner for the warhorse. Some people with mediocre martial arts even found a new life right away. And those who are relatively good at martial arts themselves have designed very complicated moves for the horse spear.

Today, the spear is no longer the standard weapon for recruits, but for all cavalry. In warfare, spears can be used as assaults or throws, and the spear is the first to be used in the first round during the assault. Then use short-handled weapons to fight.

Can't escape...... Bell knew the characteristics of cavalry in his heart, and in ordinary woodland, cavalry was still the fastest. Not to mention Nepps's injuries, even if he wasn't injured at all, there was no way to escape. Let's fight!

"Lean against the tree and don't move!" dragged the merchant to the trunk of the tree, reducing the attack on one side. Bell stared at the galloping horse, his mind racing back to what to do.

There are no long-range weapons, no long-handled weapons, only a cross longsword and two short daggers in his hands, which is undoubtedly the one who suffers.

Cavalry is feared most by sword-wielding infantry on the battlefield, with their incredible speed and powerful impact. Only poleguns and arrows can pose a sufficient threat to it.

What to do? Seeing the enemy rapidly approaching. Bell rushed forward! Can't attack the men on horseback, can't you attack the horses under their crotch?

The cross-sword was placed in his right hand. The left hand reached out from behind him. The two sides approached rapidly, and the young man suddenly roared! The long sword in his right hand slammed away the opponent's short spear, and the dagger in his left hand stabbed straight into the horse's belly!

Under the effect of powerful impact and inertia, he only needed to hold the dagger tightly and leave the rest to the impact force to help! Poof! Herod's long neigh, the horse's abdomen was horizontally cut open by the dagger! The internal organs flowed out of the gap in an instant, and the inertia of the forward rush did not stop, and the back kick stepped on the internal organs and directly crushed into a pulp, and the broken intestines flowed out of the dark green mixture.

didn't rush forward two steps, most of the internal organs of the war horse were all dragged on the ground, the completely crazy war horse threw off the cavalry on its back, and in the panic, the front hooves stepped on the unlucky bastard, and it didn't take long for the war horse to fall to the ground, and the robber who pretended to be a cavalry was also dying, opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood gushed out, staring at the horse corpse unwillingly, and died of anger......

The cavalry that rushed together were stupid, and they had seen the spicy methods, but such a fierce person had hardly seen them. If you want to kill a war horse in this way, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

The toughness of the horseskin is very good, and the muscles are strong, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary weapons to cut through the muscles and disembowel the belly. Even when you eat horse meat, you can't pierce its skin and flesh at once.

What's more, as the horse gallops by, you have the strength to pierce a weapon into its body, even if it is sharp enough. It is not so simple to want to disembowel, the ribs of the two ribs can easily affect the direction of the weapon, so in a short period of time, through the muscles and fat of the horse, accurately avoid the block of the ribs, this kind of guy must be extremely familiar with the body structure of the horse.

I can't complain that I can kill so many of our companions, it turns out that this kid really has that ability. The captain of the cavalry sighed in his heart, and in a moment of carelessness he had damaged another companion, and even the light armor on his body had been trampled by the desperate horses...... Gritting his teeth, he roared again and rushed towards Bell.

Whether he wanted to capture the merchant alive or avenge his companions, the young man in front of him must die! Roared again and rushed towards Bell, but this time at a much slower pace, and the formation was even tighter than before.

After suffering a loss once, he cannot suffer a loss again! The men and horses in charge of outflanking in the forest have also been completely assembled, and the ten-man cavalry has completely isolated him from the merchants.

The robbers were very pragmatic, and since there was a risk in close combat, they would shoot them from a distance! Except for three who were guarding with spears, the other seven took off their bows again.

Bell saw that the situation was not good, but the merchant Nepps was still leaning against the tree, and if he hid, they would definitely use Nepps to threaten him. At that time, things will be really troublesome, and before they have thought of this solution, they must firmly attract their attention!

"You really are robbers!" Bell said fiercely, his sword ready to block the arrows at any time.

"Hmph, you kid killed so many of us, and you still have the face to ask me here! Didn't you already know who we we......re? But how the hell did you see through that?" the cavalry captain snorted coldly, but suddenly thought of a serious problem, he could find the clue, and others could also find out.

With the large number of people now, even if he is strong in martial arts, will he be able to dodge a salvo? Besides, Dude's team will arrive soon, and there will be no risk in cleaning him up when that time comes. (To be continued.) )
