Black Iron Crown - Chapter 663
King Sartley was troubled by such harassment again and again, but because he had no established cavalry unit under his command, he could only vent his senseless anger with thunder.
However, as the Kalda cavalry who came to help, they volunteered to compete with these light cavalry in person.
They had heard in the camp of the Kingdom of Bukerdern before that the army in the north was the strongest army on this continent, and they were also the best among the Kalda people. They wanted to see , Is it the first strong army on this land or the stronger army of their Kalda people?
In addition to the one hundred “cleaners” cavalry who are heavy cavalry with heavy armor and perseverance, there are two hundred heavy cavalry among the remaining 900 cavalry, and the remaining more than seven hundred men are all heavy cavalry. They were all light cavalry with a light horse and a sharp sword.
After the last harassment was over, these light cavalry were scattered among the three marching teams after they informed King Sartley.
When Tillihan launched the harassment again, this group of Kalda cavalry who had been ready for battle instantly rushed up like a hunter seeing their prey.
Tillihan frowned slightly when he looked at the opponent, and began to think about it, because he looked familiar to such a cavalry.
“My lord! They look like Salanders!” a hussar shouted to Tillihan as he galloped.
Tillihan nodded slightly. Although these cavalry looked a little different from the Salanders, they were not much different in style. This group of people reminded him of the Salander riders who crisscross the desert.
Tillihan yelled: “Everyone goes roundabout with me!”
As he said, Tillyhan turned his horse’s head to the left. The distance between the two sides was about 300 meters, and he had enough time to change direction.
The horse archer and the steppe cavalry behind him were forbidden by order, and with superb riding skills, they turned around in an instant, and followed Tyriehan to the left.
At this time, the Kalda light cavalry also increased their speed to the extreme after a trot of acceleration, and rushed to the moving grassland light cavalry.
Tillihan is not afraid to fight the Kalda cavalry head-on, but it is too close to the enemy’s infantry formation. If it is entangled with the enemy’s cavalry, it is easy to be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy’s infantry.
The horses of the prairie cavalry are very fast. In the past, the horses that the prairie ridden were of poor quality because they did not have enough productivity to nurture and train the horses.
Liner’s grassland lords naturally did not have this concern. They bought seeds and excellent farming tools from Rainer at low prices for the elderly and women to cultivate.
Although the yield of crops is still not as good as that of the pure farming area in the north, it has also increased too much compared to the only chicken.
With enough productivity to feed the war horses, I bought a certain number of stallions from Reiner’s horse farm and bred them with local horse breeds. They have excellent endurance and good speed, and their height exceeds that of grassland war horses with impressive impact. The hussar horse appeared.
Although it is still inferior to the horses in the Lena Racecourse in terms of impact and load-bearing capacity, the victory lies in balance, speed, endurance and impact.
The speed of their horses was very fast, and the light cavalry running at the back shot dozens of arrows scattered.
It’s a pity, because of the limitations of the range and strength of the bow riding, and the fact that many people are not superb in riding and shooting, so there are only so few arrows that hit the target.
In addition, these Kalda light knights are also wearing light scale armor and chain armor mixed iron armor, resulting in the attacks of these light cavalry without causing any casualties to the opponent.
Tillihan glanced behind him from time to time, and then loudly ordered his subordinates to speed up.
They had run hundreds of meters in more than a minute, and Tillyhan decided to face off against the enemy in a minute.
It takes at least ten minutes for the enemy infantry to catch up after running for a distance of about one kilometer. Ten minutes is completely enough for the cavalry, which comes and goes like wind, and even the fighting is wrong. Win or lose.
Tillihan saw the enemy’s infantry getting farther and farther, and shouted: “Split the two teams! Roundabout assault!”
His shout was not obvious in the cavalry galloping, but the cavalry next to him were also shouting together, but with a delay of more than ten seconds, everyone received the order.
Two hundred senior archers and three hundred prairie cavalry, a total of 500 people, split into two gallops in an instant.
Tillihan, as an experienced light cavalry commander, knew very well that in the battle of such a chase, it would be very difficult for the party being chased to conduct an upright hedge.
As soon as they slow down and turn their heads, they will immediately greet the enemy’s ruthless impact. When they lose their horse speed, they will expose their backs to the enemy, and the end is self-evident.
He ordered his subordinates to split into two groups to force the opponent to make a choice, whether to divide the troops or continue to pursue a certain group of enemies.
If they choose to divide their troops, then their disadvantage in numbers will be even greater. The Kalda light cavalry who chased them were only 300 men, and if they were scattered, they would be 150 men.
Two hundred and fifty people versus one hundred and fifty people, which magnified Tillihan’s number advantage.
And if the enemy does not divide their troops, they can only choose one of them to continue pursuing, while the other can free up their hands to prepare for battle, or even attack from behind the opponent.
Tillihan led 250 people at an unabated speed ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ watching the enemy’s movements intently.
Sure enough, the Kalda cavalry finally did not choose to divide their troops, and their group of three hundred men continued to pursue the cavalry where Tirighan was.
Tillihan smiled slightly and continued to speed up his horse, as did the cavalry behind him, just hanging the Kaldar cavalry.
At the same time, another group of light cavalry arrived at the enemy’s side after a roundabout, and rushed straight into their array.
The Kalda cavalry had to give up chasing the light cavalry led by Tillihan in a hurry, and instead focused on the enemy on his side.
The speed of Qingqi on both sides was so fast that they collided together in an instant.
The horses and spears in the hands of the prairie cavalry broke off one after another, and many people directly took out their sabers to fight the enemy in close hands.
The casualties on both sides were very heavy, and it was just a staggering. Among the 250 prairie cavalry, more than 80 fell.
Because the armor they wore was not enough to defend every part, the battle between the light cavalry was far more fierce than the battle between the knights, and the blood spattered everywhere, which seemed extremely cruel.
The Kalda cavalry seems to be more adept at close combat. In addition, their good horses are slightly taller than the steppe cavalry, and only slightly shorter than the horses produced in Reiner’s racecourse, so they are condescending in hand-to-hand combat. , Also occupied a slight advantage, only more than 30 people fell.
