Chapter 1341 Black-shirt Knight Shows Power
In fact, if you lose the opportunity to attack on both sides this time, you can't blame Alsace. After all, Alsace is not a cavalry expert and is not good at sneak attacks with cavalry.
Because of its unprofessionality, Alsace has also consulted many officers from the Knight family of the Third Legion to ask them how to command cavalry warfare.
But the problem is here...
Many officers from the Third Legion came from the Knight family. They received traditional knight education since childhood. Naturally, they only knew the knight's combat methods. How could they understand the Hussar's combat methods?
Therefore, they introduced in detail the combat methods of the plate-armored knights - wearing armor in front of the formation to replace horses, and then lined up to speed up the charge...
This set is useless for knights, it can be used for Cossack cavalry...
The Cossack cavalry did not have the burden of plate armor, nor did they use bulky cavalry, and they did not need to wait until the formation to change horses. As light cavalry, they could change horses a distance away from the enemy, and then advance slowly (relatively). When they appeared in front of the enemy, they suddenly accelerated together and rushed towards the enemy formation at a high speed...
However, Marin had never mentioned to Arthas before that the Cossack cavalry would launch a fast attack. Then, Arthas went to ask the officers of the Third Legion who were born in Wandering Knights, so he was misled...
...
When the Cossack cavalry, including the black-shirted knights behind, the Eight-National Princes coalition also urgently mobilized more than 3,000 plate-armored knights, and set up a formation, preparing to hedge against the Cossack cavalry...
Fortunately, at this time, the Black-shirt Knight Commander Dulm appeared, preventing Arthas from his stupid plan that might have to fight the opposite Knight-
"Master Alsace, let us leave these plate-armored knights!" When it comes to fighting plate-armored knights, the black-shirted knight is professional.
"You guys? Don't you need our help?" Arthas is a newcomer and doesn't know much about the tactics and tactics of the Black Shirt Knight, so he is a little confused.
Fortunately, his fellow countryman, Captain Jurgen, knew the ability of the Black Shirt Knight, so he quickly grabbed Alsace and said:
"Legislative Commander, the Black-shirt Knight is specialized in dealing with the Plate Knights!"
"Specialized deal?" Arthas was a little puzzled. But soon, he realized what "Specialized deal" means...
...
As time goes by, more than 3,000 coalition forces' plate armor knights began to wear armor and horses, and replaced them with their rifles and began to charge...
Looking at the more than 3,000 plate-armored knights who were moving forward, Alsace felt very shocked...
Although he had 5,000 Cossacks under his command, the Cossacks were insignificant. In addition, the discipline was average. Even if they charged together, they were not neat.
The more than 3,000 plate armor knights on the opposite side were obviously regular cavalry. They were wearing similar plate armor and holding bulky oak rifles. When more than 3,000 plate armor knights rushed over in neat rows, Alsace felt tremendous pressure.
He could conclude that if he brought 5,000 Cossack cavalry to rush forward to face the enemy, he might be defeated in one encounter...
However, the mission to fight the enemy knights has been taken over by the Black-shirted Knight. Therefore, Alsace does not need to take his Cossack cavalry to fight the opposite knights. Besides, you can't win if you fight to the death...
So, Arthas took the initiative to retreat with 5,000 Cossack cavalry. Then, the 2,000 black-shirted knights behind him were exposed...
...
"What kind of cavalry is this? Heavy Armor Hussar?" Baron Cross of the Principality of Wolfenbitel, who led more than three thousand coalition knights to charge, was confused.
Because, in his eyes, the cavalry unit in front was strangely dressed - they were wearing black clothes, with a light chain mail on the outside, and a barrel helmet on their heads...
This outfit is a bit like the outfit of the Templars who participated in the Crusade before the Plate Armor appeared. At that time, because the Plate Armor had not yet appeared, most of the Crusades were wearing chain armor and barrel-shaped helmets on their heads.
However, the cavalry in front of them did not look like the crusade knights. Because they did not have a cavalry or spear, they only had knives hanging around their waists... They looked more like Hussars...
"Hussar in a mail? What's the situation?" Baron Cross was confused. However, he didn't have time to think about it anymore. Because he was rushing towards the opponent with more than 3,000 knights. No matter what cavalry he was, fight first... After all, the protection of the chain mail is far less than that of the plate armor. If both sides collided and the opponent did not have a gun, the winner would definitely be his own...
...
But unfortunately, the group of hussars wearing light chain mail in front of them seemed to have no intention of facing them. Just as the coalition knights were about to arrive in front of their opponents, the enemy cavalry in mail suddenly turned their heads and ran away...
Just slipped away... I ran away... I ran away...
Baron Cross suddenly felt old blood in his throat - coward, don't run away if you have any other habits, let's fight!
However, the Black-Shirt Knights were not fools and could not stop and fight with them. Under the leadership of the Black-Shirt Knights Commander Dulm, the Black-Shirt Knights not only turned around and ran away, but also turned around and loudly mocked the coalition's plate armor knights:
"Sabi, I have a way to chase you!"
Baron Cross was suddenly full of black lines - Nimad, the opponent was a semi-light cavalry (only one more chain mail than the Hussars), and the war horse was not wearing armor. In this way, the opponent was lightly equipped. The plate armor knight was wearing dozens of kilograms of plate armor, and the war horse was wearing dozens of kilograms of horse armor... How can I chase this?
Then, after the coalition knights chased for a while, the horses began to sweat and began to breathe...
This is not good for the plate-armored knight, because the overall load is too high, and the war horse can only rush for a while and then need to rest. Otherwise, you will have to be exhausted.
When the coalition knights completed a wave of charge and began to slow down and rest, the black-shirt knights who had never been able to catch up with them also stopped. Then, in front of the coalition knights, they took out the previously loaded clockwork ignition carbine from the leather bag on the horse's back...
...
Seeing this situation, Resca, the Cavaliers captain from Geldenberg, was shocked and said:
"Miltel cavalry!"
As the former cavalry captain of the Principality of Gedes, Reska obviously heard of a cavalry in the North Sea State using muskets. It is said that this cavalry unit is extremely vulgar and good at harassing, and is completely incompatible with the enemy's head-on fight. If you want to deal with them, you can only rely on pure light cavalry to catch up with them with speed. Otherwise, you will definitely be abused by them...
So he shouted:
"Baron Cross, please be careful. That is the most shameless cavalry unit in the North Sea Kingdom, and its tactics are very vulgar!"
However, Baron Cross didn't care much. After all, he had never suffered a loss...
Then, he realized what "despicable" means...
Seeing the opponent leaning forward, the horses were very tired from the coalition knights leaning against each other, forming a defensive formation, ready to meet the opponent's charge...
However, the strange cavalry on the opposite side did not rush up to fight in close combat at all, but stopped 50 steps away, began to aim and shoot...
"Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-" A string of lead bullets slashed through the air and roared at the alert coalition knights...
