Black Iron Crown

Chapter 473: The power of the light cavalry

   The southern part of November has just entered winter, and the weather is still very mild, not at all as cold as the northern one.

   The sun in the sky hung high, and Earl Lorens stood in the center of his formation and looked at the enemy ahead vigorously.

   More than 20,000 soldiers listened to his orders. Although most of them were coalition forces of the nobles, he was the commander-in-chief of this army.

   More than a year ago, he was defeated by Lena, which made him very unwilling.

   And today, he will recover all the shame he suffered.

   "Go forward on the right! A tentative attack on the enemy's seat!" Count Lorans issued an order, and immediately a herald rushed out on a fast horse.

   Two minutes later, the right wing of the coalition army moved.

   Their strength is superior, and Earl Lorens wants to try if he can directly defeat the enemy's flank first, so that his own army will encircle the enemy's Chinese army.

  Because he knew the combat effectiveness of the army directly under Rainer, he had suffered enough in the previous battles. It would be great if he could use the flanks and the Chinese army to oppress the enemy.

   Watching the enemy's flanks start to move, Reiner said to the herald: "Transmit my order to order Baron Samuza and Baron Tirihan to lead their light cavalry to harass the enemy's right wing!"

   The enemy's right wing corresponds to Rainer's left wing. The forces on the left wing are slightly weaker, so Rainer placed the cavalry on that side, ready to support.

  Rainer narrowed his eyes, and saw that the enemy's army hadn't moved yet, so he didn't give the next order.

   After the two sides are deadlocked together, Rainer will send the knights to charge against him. Since Earl Lorans is so confident, then first defeat his main force! First release https://https://

  Rainer's formation relies more on the Chinese army, but if there is a chance to directly destroy the enemy's flanks, it is still quite effective.

   Even if the left wing of your own side loses the ability to fight, it is not a loss, after all, the enemy's right wing has more troops.

  On the left flank are a small number of vassals of Rainer and the army of Earl Crick, with a total of about 2,000 people, while the enemy has more than 5,000 people, twice as many as them. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest computer terminal: https://

   The flanks of the two sides began to approach slowly, and the army of the coalition army was running faster and faster. Their armor was extremely scarce, and they could only increase their attack strength by running quickly against enemies with more complete armor.

   The soldiers on Lena's side are advancing slowly. Most of them have armor on their bodies. Not only do they easily consume physical strength when running, they may also cause their body's center of gravity to become unstable.

   As long as they are not knocked down by the enemy, the armor on their bodies can provide them with a huge advantage.

   At the same time, 800 professional hussars came to the vicinity of the enemy and began to cruise around.

   They are not like pastoral herders, but light cavalry who have undergone complete training and are equipped with leather armor.

  The biggest difference from before is that they can now ride a bow with one hand.

They have basically mastered the skills of riding and shooting during the training for more than one year and nearly two years. Although they are still completely incomparable with experienced riding and archers, they can also draw a bow and shoot arrows on horseback and maintain a certain degree of accuracy. Up.

   The light cavalry suddenly dispersed under the orders of Tilihan and Baron Samuza, and launched the first round of shooting at the enemy's formation.

   More than 800 arrows flew, causing the enemy to lose 40 or 50 people in an instant. They were all unlucky, and they were shot in vital parts. Otherwise, the arrows shot by the bow would not be so deadly.

"Damn it! Watch out! Watch out now!" The lords in this team were very annoyed by this. They would not be afraid if the enemy rushed in directly, but they turned around and ran behind after shooting an arrow. Not even the shadow can be caught, which is very annoying.

   "The archers are ready! I want them to look good when they come!" The soldiers in the front continued to charge, while the soldiers behind had already slowed down, and the archers took out their bows and arrows to prepare to shoot.

   The light cavalry made a small circle again to reach their rear, and the soldiers behind were waiting in battle as if they had seen a ghost.

   Another round of arrows fell into the enemy's formation. This time the result was obviously not as good as the previous one, only a few dozen people fell to the ground with arrows.

   And their archers are already ready.

   More than five hundred archers launched a volley in an instant, and more than five hundred arrows fell into the formation of the light cavalry.

   directly caused more than 60 casualties to them.

   Just one shot is comparable to the two shots of the hussars. In any case, the power and range of the bow riding is still not as good as the step bow.

   Although the casualties were heavy, but after all, their goal had been achieved. The soldiers who charged in the front and the troops behind had a fault.

Only four to five hundred soldiers rushed in front of the enemy. After the armies of both sides came into contact with each other, the soldiers on the Reiner side quickly surrounded the enemy. In just three minutes, these four to five hundred people were completely destroyed. Annihilate.

   The first battle was won, and the morale of the soldiers increased, while the flanks of the coalition forces were disturbed by the light cavalry.

The archers are all used to guard against the light cavalry, so that the archers on the Lenner side can shoot unscrupulously at the enemy infantry ~lightnovelpub.net~Looking at the flanks that are not going well, Count Lorans As if provoked, he directly ordered the Chinese army and the left wing to press on.

   Seeing the enemy's army move, Rainer also immediately gave the order to prepare for battle.

   However, his order was not the same as usual, but changed his tactics.

   He ordered the Chinese army to advance toward the enemy's left wing, and the target of his right wing was the enemy's Chinese army.

   This is a temporary idea, because the enemy's army is too large, more than 10,000 people, and his direct army is only more than 3,000, and the triple force gap is really too big.

   Even if Rainer has confidence in his army, defeating the opponent is definitely a long-running thing. He doesn't trust the ability of his vassals to resist pressure very much.

   If one's flank is suddenly defeated after Reiner's Chinese army is fighting the enemy, you can imagine what the consequences will happen.

   Let’s think about the previous examples of winning more battles with less, and all were won in a local area where they won more with less.

   Simply, Rainer directly handed his fragile flanks to your army, but your flanks also faced my attack.

   Anyway, according to the situation of the enemy's flanks, Leiner still has a certain degree of confidence that he can quickly defeat him. As long as the flanks can delay for a while, Leiner's goal is achieved.

   When the two armies fought the enemy's middle army together, it would be difficult for them even if they wanted to be undefeated.
