King’s Kingdom

Chapter 68: The downfall of the cavalry

At a glance, Theodosius immediately understood Kritidos's thoughts. It is impossible for any experienced commander to fail to see her intentions.

"Archers, aim at the enemy cavalry and shoot arrows!" Theodosius gave an order, and four hundred archers armed with elven bows immediately drew their bows and shot arrows. At least 300 meters of rebel cavalry were immediately dismounted, roughly estimated to be at least 70 or 80 people.

If it is an ordinary human military bow, 200 meters is already the limit of the range, and the arrow has almost no lethality at this distance. Even a warrior with a higher level can use a weapon to push the arrow away.

However, this elf bow still maintains a certain accuracy and high lethality at an ultra-long distance of 300 meters. Comparing the two, the elf bow-making technology can be seen.

It is a pity that the 800 archers have only 400 elf bows. Otherwise, half of the rebel cavalry should be reimbursed in the one round of shooting just now. More Elven Bow determination.

After giving the order for the archers to shoot, Theodosius also ordered the knights on the right flank to prepare for the charge in the shortest possible time.

Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Theodosius would not be named Di if he did not destroy the largest mobile unit in the enemy's hands!

Well, his surname was not Di...

Because they were worried about accidentally hurting their own cavalry, the archers aimed at the rear of the enemy, which resulted in the pursuit of the rebel cavalry was hardly affected.

Here comes the chance for the Rine Knights!

The head consisted of twenty iron-clad paladins, followed by the remaining one hundred and fifty Rine Knights. They held up their lances and launched a mighty charge.

The body of the iron-boned horse is draped with a layer of armored horse armor that hangs down to the ankles, and the armored paladin is a three-layer composite heavy armor of leather armor, armored armor, and chain armor. The weight that needs to be burdened is 220 kilograms. .

Putting such a weight on an ordinary warhorse, let alone charging at an extremely fast speed, it would take a huge amount of pressure just to trot.

However, this iron-boned horse with a strong body and reinforced iron bones looks relaxed in the face of these weights. After running a distance of 80 meters, it can accelerate to an ultra-high speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and it seems that there is still energy left. .

The current iron-clad paladins really can't use ordinary war horses. Even if they don't wear armor and don't bring equipment, their weight has reached 120 kilograms per capita...

Although their muscles are very strong, they do not have the explosive muscles like bodybuilders. The average arm circumference has just reached about 42 centimeters, although this data is already exaggerated compared to ordinary residents and soldiers...

The equipment of the Lanyin knights is slightly smaller than that of the iron-clad paladins. Although they also have three layers of armor, the density of the chain armor is only six-ring buckle, and the defense area of ​​the armor is also slightly reduced.

This will ensure that they will not be dropped by the powerful iron-boned horse due to insufficient horsepower on the way to charge.

The sound of horse hooves pounded on the ground like drums, ringing in everyone's eardrums. When the second round of arrows fell, the heavy cavalry of the Lanyin Kingdom also came to the rebel cavalry less than 100 meters away. distance.

Everyone felt endless fear and helplessness at this moment. They did not expect that they would suffer such a painful blow just by chasing the enemy. First, nearly half of the people were reimbursed after two rounds of arrow rain, and then there was a group of people who looked like The strong cavalry rushed towards him.

Despair instantly spread among the rebel cavalry. They immediately gave up the idea of ​​chasing the hussars in the grasslands, and tried their best to turn their horses and escape from here.

However, how can a warhorse that is running at full strength turn its direction so easily? The battle between cavalry has always been known for its fast words. By the time they successfully reversed direction, the Lanyin heavy cavalry has already completed a round of charge...

Carrying a four-meter-five-long lance, the iron-clad paladins in the front row crashed into the formation of the rebel cavalry from the side with a landslide.

The lances in their hands are so sharp, and their technique of using the lances is so superb, the sharp head of the lance can easily penetrate the chest or head of the rebel cavalry like a bullet, and it takes less than a second to touch it. A dozen people fell off.

After that, I only heard a crisp sound of "click, click", not only the cavalry on horseback was killed, but also the horses who fell to the ground and were trampled by the horse's hooves broke their bones, and even the war horses that stood in front of the iron-boned horses were also killed. Being knocked out by their strong physique, these war horses that are so strong that they are not like mortal creatures are so tyrannical.

In fact, many people really think that iron-boned horses are not mortal creatures, because they are reproductively isolated from any horse breed, as if they are genetically very different.

After all, it's not that no one wants to breed a strong war horse that only needs less food to feed. Although the iron horses are incredibly strong, their terrifying appetite is also proportional to their physique.

Ordinary war horses consume a lot of food, three adults do not eat as much as war horses in a day~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and iron-boned horses not only eat five times as much as ordinary war horses, but also have very high food requirements.

They don’t eat grass at any time, they can only be raised with wheat oats or black beans. There must be two mixed eggs in their four meals a day, and they have to be fed some minced meat every few days. It can be said to support a group of iron-boned horses The money can support five professional soldiers in full armor...

The huge appetite and the terrifying power endowed the iron-boned horses, killing and flying their nominal counterparts did not cause them any harm at all, the only side effect was a slight decrease in speed.

Like sharp spears, the armored paladins used the most violent means to easily divide the rebel cavalry into two parts, the front and the rear, and the follow-up Rain Knights easily harvested the lives of the rebel cavalry in the rear.

Often it was just a pass, and there would be hot blood on the lance in his hand, or broken arms with residual value, and even a few complete corpses hanging from the lances of the iron-clad paladins.

Critidos was not idle either. After the Iron Paladin and the Rain Knights completed the division of the enemy, she immediately took the steppe hussars to a beautiful small detour.

It only took three seconds to dash forward to the flank, and the distance was less than thirty meters. These hussars from the prairie are well-deserved friends of war horses, natural cavalry.

These steppe hussars pulled out their sabres and spears, and rushed towards the slightly confused rebel cavalry vanguard. The flank charge just avoided their edge, just like a strong and ferocious hungry wolf biting its prey from the side. Throat, they have locked the life of the rebel cavalry.

The sword fell, the spear was inserted, and the armored paladins turned around and charged again. In less than a minute, the 300-strong rebel cavalry was wiped out cleanly.
