Chapter 233 Rolling
Strictly speaking, these sixty people are all "knight" samples in the traditional sense of the kingdom.
They were granted the title of baron nobles, had fiefs, and managed small villages. They paid taxes to the lords on weekdays. When they encountered battles, they had to go into battle, and followed the lords with their entourage and recruited militias to follow the lords. This is an almost common system and concept in all human kingdoms at present, and it is also the most profound imprint of the current era.
But is such a knight really powerful?
Although there are strong men like Wellington and Titus who are the best of Iversta, from the overall analysis, when the knights participate in actual combat, everything becomes another matter...
The knights may learn martial arts on weekdays, but most of them just to get a better ranking in the "competitive conference" - they know swordsmanship, and have a set of armor that has been passed down for several generations, and most knights will be very arrogant about it. Although they are not ashamed of each other, when they really get together, there is absolutely no so-called "tacity".
Formation? Coordination?
Everyone rushed to their own, found the enemy and killed them. Who cares whether the guys around him cooperated with him?
This mentality is a true portrayal of the current sixty knights - they may have good individual strength. When they charge, they strive forward bravely. Each knight uses all his strength, but in the same way, they have never cared about the cooperation between other knights and themselves...
After the two-kilometer charge, the knights who were originally gathered together had completely dispersed. And because they rushed too hard, the entourage had long been thrown away.
If they were old knights who had experienced war in the early years, they might have known the principle of "coordinated combat between infantry and cavalry", but at present, these young knights obviously did not expect that they would fail.
When they rushed into the forest, they saw Soderol and others who were slowing down sharply, and immediately made a move to prepare for siege and killing - the cavalry in the dense woods could not maintain high speed, so at this time the advantage of the number of people was immediately highlighted.
What made them even more excited was that Soderol and others in front actually stopped completely after running for a while. The first group of more than 20 knights who entered the forest opened their mouths, as if they had seen the scene of the enemy being surrounded and killed to death.
However, soon their expressions froze on their faces...
"There are archers"
"Flash out"
When I raised my head, a large figure holding a short bow appeared in the forest in front of me. Simple Sagittarius may not be surprised by them, but the key is that these Sagittarius did not stand on the ground, but on the "whistle tower" with artificial traces around them.
The distance of five or six meters above the ground made the knights look desperate - few knights in the Karen Kingdom mastered the "critical" skills of "riding and shooting", so that none of them carried long-range weapons...
In this case, even a fool understands the consequences of continuing to rush.
The knights who came back to their senses immediately turned around and prepared to escape, but the arrows had already aimed at them. The command to "shoot arrows" sounded and shot out with the rain of arrows - the sound of howling and the muffled sound of falling horses resounded in the forest immediately.
The knights were completely panicked. They were arrows flying by "swoosh" in their ears, but they didn't even know where to hide. The shooters occupying the commanding heights had almost no dead spots to shoot, and the deadly arrows were waved in three waves, directly damaging the ten knights in the front row.
"boom"
Some knights wanted to fight to the death to attack Soderol, but they didn't charge far, and they flew backwards in a ball of fire. The appearance of the "explosion arrow" made these knights feel as if they were even more depressed.
The knights who were attacked in front worked hard for a long time and finally began to flee to both sides. After the horses started running at a speed, the power of the arrows immediately decreased a lot. The knights followed also avoided the area with their combat consciousness. Although they were embarrassed, they escaped from the fatal threat...
However, in this way, the team of knights with more than 40 people were completely dispersed in the forest.
They tried to turn their horses and run back, but just as they were about to leave the forest, Soderol began to sweep with a team of twenty scouts.
It sounds like 47 knights are fighting against the 2l scout cavalry team, but the actual situation is completely opposite... The knights separated by arrow rain are basically three or five people together, with the most of them only eight people, while the 21 scout team is always a whole, which gives Soderol's team an absolute advantage in the local area.
Not only is my war horse better than yours, but my equipment better than yours, but my people are better than you. Even if I compete for the number of people, I still have the advantage of crushing.
Soderol and his team were full of momentum. The scouts used scimitar swords as weapons due to forest conditions. Their posture was exactly like "cats and mice". No matter how the scattered knights resisted, they were all the ones who met and were harvested.
The sixty-person knight team was lost in more than 30 people within seven or eight minutes after entering the forest, and the rest were completely scared and were just thinking about turning back and running out of the forest. However, after they finally left the jungle area, what they saw was the scene of two baron lords flocking to come with more than 130 soldiers...
One side advances and the other side retreats, and the two sides "collide" again.
At this time, the morale of the knights had completely collapsed. There were more than 20 people, but in fact, no one wanted to continue fighting. The attitude of escaping was completely chased away like a betrayal dog. Seeing his subordinates in such a posture, the two barons were stunned.
"What's going on?"
The inquiry shouted over, but no knight stopped to respond. They fled to the distance like they had seen a ghost, leaving only the two barons looking at each other.
However, such a question was quickly answered: Soderol and others rushed out of the forest, and then slowly stopped on the edge of the forest...
"No wonder there is a problem, it turns out there is a helper."
A baron said this, but he was not afraid at all. He looked at the more than 130 soldiers around him, then looked at the twenty cavalrymen in front of him, and still believed that he had the upper hand.
After a wink with the other baron, he waved his hand and gave another attack order without hesitation:
"Roar up and kill them all"
After the words came to an end, the team in front of him suddenly changed a little.
The sound of horse hooves came from the forest, and then other figures gradually appeared behind the team of twenty-one people... As the other twenty scouts in the reserve, they all joined the team at this time.
They not only came to replenish the team, but also carried a long rod and rifle in their hands. After entering the team, they came directly to the front - a three-meter rifle pointed to the sky, and the metal armor and the sharp spear head were shining with cold light in the morning sun. When the entire team was silent, it was like a steel giant beast that chose people to eat...
A hundred meters away, the soldiers in scattered formations were about to rush forward after rushing for two kilometers. However, after seeing the scene in front of them, their steps immediately became hesitant...
"Cabinet regiment, charge"
Soderol's command sound was extremely clear between the silent team. His horse began to accelerate slowly, and the long sword suddenly waved forward-the next moment, the sound of horse hooves as if the mountain collapsed and the ground was cracked, and the entire cavalry regiment began to accelerate with all its might almost at the same time.
From stationary to attack, their posture was like a sharp sword unsheathed, and they charged towards the enemy with the toughest posture.
Leaving the forest area, the acceleration of the war horses was no longer hindered. This cavalry regiment that had experienced countless battles at this time, with its strong military qualities, the two barons who could not fight at all felt the coldness from the bottom of their hearts...
The distance of a hundred meters seemed to have come. Under the half-moon charge formation, the rush of landslides and earth cracks made the morale of the militia who could not hold the shield collapse instantly. However, at this time, turning around and running away had no effect...
"Xiaxiaxia—"
In just a moment, the forest-like cavalry pierced and divided the weak battle formation. More than one hundred soldiers did not have enough physical fitness to block the war horses, and did they have a reliable formation as a support. Standing in the open area, they were completely lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and were completely crushed by the cavalry regiment in the blink of an eye.
The two barons riding horses were frightened by the scene before their eyes. When they saw the terrible team coming towards them, they immediately turned around and wanted to escape. However, before the horses under their crotch could speed up, two elusive arrows shot through their bodies on the spot...
Roddy's figure appeared on the chaotic battlefield without any attention, but his existence was definitely more terrifying than Sodlor's team.
However, the scene that happened later made Roddy frown slightly - these two barons were both arrows in their chests and abdomen. If an ordinary person had long lost any ability to move, he would definitely fall off his horse. However, at this time, the two men continued to drive the horse without any obstacles, and the arrows inserted on their bodies seemed to have not caused much damage to them at all.
"Damn puppet..."
Roddy cursed in a low voice, then raised her hand and shot two arrows - the "explosion arrow" exploded behind the two barons. After all, the "puppet" was not a complete undead like Magda. At this time, she could not withstand such an attack and was knocked off the horse...
