The struggle of the reborn prince

I sincerely wish all book lovers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy holiday! ! !

A group of cavalry rushed out of the Castle of Grand Duke Fecia. The first cavalry jumped out and rushed across the ditch the moment the suspension bridge fell, and the cavalry behind them galloped out of the city in twos. After passing the ditch, they followed the lead while running The knight's gestures formed an array and stood still on the high ground three hundred steps in front of the city.Its elegant riding posture and skillful horse control skills can't help but make people secretly click [-] likes in their hearts.

Then look at the enemy army standing still, the army is majestic and neat, their horses are handsome and handsome, both men and horses are covered with heavy armor, the golden light is shining, the spear tips are sparkling, and the machete is cold, shining like pearls. of light.Although the number is only about a thousand, the entire formation looks majestic and mighty, coupled with the subtle sound of flutes and drums, it creates a compelling momentum, and any team will look dwarfed in front of them.

Song Jun's siren sound also quickly entered the battle readiness, but the leather armor on his body was dull, and the musket in his hand was black enough, but there was no reflection. The selected horses seemed to be shorter than other horses The team leader, compared with the people in front of him, he is like a group of beggars, he feels a little self-conscious, and his momentum is also weak.

'Dum dong...' The sound of the drums in the enemy's formation suddenly became more rapid, and the leading knight raised his lance and swung it left and right, and the whole formation began to move with the sound of the drums.The horseshoes matched the rhythm of the drums, and they stepped slowly on one point. The lances were suddenly erected, and the flags were flying. The knights immediately roared in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

"The mighty Song Dynasty!"

"Loyalty and bravery will win!"...

With roars, the hussars began to mobilize.They rushed out of the passage made by the infantry in a column and lined up in front of the formation, and formed a compact formation of three horizontal rows with the command as the unit.The whole army was silent, only the sound of 'poof' as the gun flag fluttered in the wind.Li Gong, the commander of the hussars, rushed to the head of the team, followed by two flag bearers holding high the flags of the hussars brigade and the generals. Stepping forward, the thunderous sound of horseshoes, accompanied by the forest of lances, is even more powerful.

The distance between the two armies was about [-] steps and they were both moving forward slowly.Gradually turned into jogging, and the dry land was stirred by tens of thousands of horseshoes to raise dust and smoke into the sky.Chiton, the commander of Grand Duke Fikia's private army, squinted his eyes at the approaching enemy troops, his eyes full of disdain. Their horses were short in stature and clumsy in their movements. At first glance, they looked like those Uyghur mongrel horses, with only their faces and chests hanging. Two pieces of leather armor.Everything else is exposed.

And the equipment of those soldiers is even simpler, with only upper body armor on their bodies, a helmet without a face shield, and a pair of long leather boots without iron caps on their feet; weapons are even simpler, only one A lance and a long knife, and nothing else.No matter how you look at them, they don't look like they come from the legendary oriental country full of gold.Not even the cavalry of the Black Khanate.

The two armies approached quickly, and the Chiton spears swung, followed by the first line of 'Ghulam' who put their spears in the saddle bags behind them, took off their longbows from the saddle bridge, and drew out their feathered arrows to shoot at them first. A hail of arrows knocked the weakly defended enemy troops under their horses.But at this moment, he suddenly found more than a dozen double-drive two-wheeled carriages rushing out from the gap between the enemy's first column of cavalry.They quickly surpassed the charging cavalry and rushed to the front of the formation.Besides the driver of the car, there were also two sergeants fiddling with a strange thing.

"Da da..." Although Chiton didn't know what was on the enemy's carriage, he also knew that it was definitely not a good thing for them. Before he could give a signal to be alert, a burst of rapid explosions suddenly sounded.Chiton only had time to lift the round shield tied to his left arm to protect his chest, when he felt that the round shield was hit by something unknown, and his arm seemed to have been severely whipped, and it hung down uncontrollably.

"Ah..." Chilton let out a muffled groan, but it wasn't the pain in his left arm, but the pain in his chest, as if he had been hit hard by something in his chest.He immediately realized that something had penetrated his bronze shield, passed through his arm, passed through the outer layer of armor, and was blocked by the chain mail inside. It did not hurt his body, but the huge impact force It still hurts him.

But the situation in front of him left Chidun with no time to take care of his own pain. All the soldiers and horses around him were hit, and fell headfirst in front of his horse. His heels stepped on the soldiers who were still struggling on the ground.The Knights, who had charged forward with indomitable spirit just now, had fallen into a crisis at this moment. The exquisite and sturdy armor could not block the projectiles sprayed from the enemy's carriage.

Under the impact of enemy firearms, the knights charged in the front row. The knights were shot one after another, and they fell to the ground, screaming continuously.The heavy armor on his body made it difficult for the horse to stand up for a while, but was trampled mercilessly by the horses of his companions behind.Chiton knew that once the charge was launched, there was no possibility of turning back, especially when the two armies were speeding up to prepare for the confrontation, the retreating side would be caught in the relentless pursuit of the other side, so even in the face of casualties, he could not retreat. He waved the general flag Command the cavalry in the back row to fill the gap caused by casualties, and adjust the charge formation.

Fortunately, as the two armies approached quickly, the carriages in the pincer state of the two armies quickly withdrew from the two wings, but they caused a lot of casualties and confusion to the Gulam Knights in a short period of time. The knights and horses made them have to slow down, greatly reducing the power of their condescending impact, and also made it impossible for them to use bows and arrows to quickly shoot a rain of arrows before the two armies came into contact, disrupting the enemy's impact formation...

The sound of war drums was like a torrential rain, and the sound of the charging horn was also short. The two armies approached quickly, and they were trying their best to increase the speed of their horses. The long lances had been leveled, and the knights They also tightened their bodies, clamped their legs around the horse's belly, and prepared for the final sprint.

"Boom..." The two armies collided, and the knights shouted and thrust forward the spears in their hands with horsepower, stabbing the enemy in front of them.Chiton, who had already retreated to the back ranks, was relieved. In this world, apart from the pike formations composed of heavy infantry, there is no army that can defeat the 'Guram' heavy cavalry in a hedge. I don't know. How many invincible armies were defeated by their spears and scimitars. He believed that although he had suffered losses at the beginning today, the opponent's thin armor still could not stop the collision of his cavalry.

But the scene in front of him once again broke Chiton's common sense. The enemy's tight formation made up for the weakness in horses and armor, and allowed them to line up more cavalry within the same distance, occupying an advantage in numbers. Let them cooperate with each other, and stab the lance in their hands into the bodies of their own knights and war horses respectively.What's even more shameless is that the long spears they use have to grow a lot, and they have been handed over before their own lances have touched them!And what happened next subverted the cognition of Chiton, an elite knight of the 'Gulam', the enemy actually attacked his opponent directly with a spear.

The spear is regarded as the most reliable weapon in the traditional Islamic world, especially among the knights of the 'Ghulam', and there is also a lot of trust in this weapon.Compared with Europeans, these Tuque peoples have more diverse and flexible use of spears.In battle they used the 'canah' used by infantry, but soon found that its practicality on horseback was completely inferior to the shorter and sturdier quintari that came from Eastern Rome. Sub cavalry spear.

The 'Gulam' abandoned this so-called longest spear, mainly because it was too long for the cavalry, it was inconvenient to hold, it was easy to break when charging and stabbing, and it was not easy to control. The enemy himself will also be injured under the huge impact. The wrist of the light one will be broken, and the whole arm of the heavy one will be torn off.Therefore, they choose relatively short and easy-to-control cavalry spears, and use the impact force to knock the opponent off the horse, and it is by no means directly sprinting at the opponent's horse and body.

When Chilton thought that the enemy would also suffer heavy losses in this way of injuring the enemy one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred, he found that when the lance in the enemy's hand pierced the body of one's own knight or horse, the barrel of the gun burst into pieces. Countless fragments.He immediately realized that these orientals were much smarter than he imagined, and they actually thought of this way to remove the huge impact of stabbing their opponents to protect themselves.The enemy army who had lost their lances did not retreat. They pulled out their long knives and slashed at the surviving knights of their own side. However, their lances seemed too long at this moment.

His first row of knights was crushed in a blink of an eye and suffered heavy losses. Chiton was angry and helpless, while the enemy cavalry, who had lost their lances and impact power, rushed up to the second row of Gurum who was galloping forward. , and in addition to the long knife in his hand, there is another fire-breathing thing, and every time it rings, it is convenient for someone to be shot down from the horse.But the enemy who took advantage did not get entangled, and used the gap to quickly leave the battlefield and return to the main formation from the two wings to regroup and form a reserve team to launch another attack.

The cavalry on both sides collided violently twice again, and the soldiers who survived the confrontation were already entangled and started a scuffle.Chiton thought that his knights were all warriors cultivated since childhood, who were good at hand-to-hand combat, and could also use the knives, swords, axes, and warhammers they wore on their bodies. blow.

But the result was still unsatisfactory. Seeing that their long knives were difficult to inflict heavy damage on the heavily armored enemies, the enemy soldiers turned to fire with the firearms in their hands, not giving their knights a chance to show off.But the combat power of those injured Gulams dropped sharply, and then there was no more, and they fled to the castle in horror after suffering heavy losses...
