Chapter 1036: The Battle of Krakow (3)

Lu Yue was already neatly draped, stepped on the war horse, and appeared in the army formation. Looking at the light cavalry of the Poles on both flanks, "Pass my orders!" He raised his whip, pointed forward, and said, "Today, the Polebreaker!" ”

"All the soldiers must work hard and reap the full success in one battle!"

"The lord of the country has an order...... dozens of horsemen immediately rushed out, and they passed through the gap between the left and right flank infantry arrays of the coalition forces along the spread out battle line: "Whoever breaks Poland, it is today!" ”

"Our army wins!" The soldiers replied in unison, one by one in high spirits. When the drums of war beat, they all turned on their horses.

In an instant, the entire army was already boiling with murderous intent.

Yelu Zongdian waved his hand: "Attack!" The battle flag behind him immediately pressed forward, and five hundred light horsemen galloped forward with him, and then, on the left and right wings of the whole army, two cavalry arrays each, all of them were five hundred men and horses, and they were like sickles, like a sea tide, and rushed straight towards the Polish light cavalry on the opposite side.

At this moment, among the Chinese troops of the coalition army, the sound of war drums suddenly became excited.

And just in front of the Chinese military tent, a large number of plate armor cavalry and chain armor, armor, and scale armor cavalry began to gather.

The five battalions of light cavalry in front were indeed light cavalry compared to the plate cavalry. They were all dressed in light leather armor, cotton armor, and even paper armor, which certainly did not mean that the coalition forces did not have armor in their hands.

The Lu Qi army marched westward, broke the Seljuks, broke the Rus, and destroyed hundreds of thousands of enemies before and after, how many 'tattered' armor were not?

However, the reason why the cavalry of the five battalions attacking in front did not wear backward armor such as chain mail, armor, and scale armor was only because their duty was not hand-to-hand combat at all. Mounted archery is their weapon!

Tiefutu still needs to kidnap horses to match!

The 2,500 light cavalry, mostly from the northern tribes of the Cypriots or the Uighur and Turkic tribes, with a certain number of veterans of the Eight Banners as the backbone and veins, when taken together, they were a formidable force.

Ride and shoot!

This is no stranger to the Poles, when the Kpchak Khanate was strong, the Poles' neighbors, the Rus', suffered from its invasion and raid all year round, and those steppe cavalry rode fast horses, two or even three horses, and came and went like the wind. Bows and arrows are their most powerful weapons, and the rain of arrows is like a gust of rain and wind, sweeping away all resistance!

Then there are their eastern neighbors, the Hungarians, who have little connection with the Huns led by Attila, the whip of God, who ravaged Europe, and the Magyars.

The Magyars were an offshoot of the Khazars, a new tribe of Northern Xiongnu, Turkic, and Uighur migrated westward, and included some local natives of the Kipchak steppe, who established the powerful Khazar Khanate in the middle and lower Volga in the 7th and 9th centuries AD. The original name of the Magyars is "on ogur", which means ten arrows and ten huisu (7 Magyars and 3 Khazar tribes).

These outsiders invaded Europe and invaded everywhere, as far as Provence in the southeast of France. It raged for a full century, until in 955 AD, when the HRE Emperor Otto I defeated and severely damaged their main force at Augsburg in Bavaria. The Magyars then converted to a settled agricultural life and, under the rule of Istvan I, converted to Christianity and no longer posed a threat to foreigners. Instead, he became one of the two guardians of the Monogod World in the north.

And when the Magyars ravaged Europe, the Poles, who were still in the primitive commune and the embryonic stage of feudalism, were not less bullied by them. Now that 200 years have passed, the Poles are no strangers to mounted archery.

But no stranger is no stranger, and this does not mean that Poles can also play mounted archery. Their means of resistance, like those of the Rus, relied only on shields in their hands. When the distance between the two armies approached a distance of about 100 paces, the allied light cavalry bent their bows and arrows. The Polish light cavalry had no power to fight back, and the shield in their hands could not protect the entire war horse even if they could protect themselves, and the corpses were all over the field in the rain of arrows.

But the Poles were still attacking, after all, the distance between the two armies was very short, and for the war horses, they could quickly rush through. As long as you can endure the casualties for a while, you can do it. In the rear, Władysław saw the tragic situation of the light cavalry in front of him, and hurriedly ordered Henrik to lead the elite cavalry to attack.

"Warriors, today, we should let the Chinese know what a fearless warrior is!" Henrik raised his weapon and shouted: "The merciful God is protecting us, and we will surely be able to defeat these savage Eastern thugs!" ”

"God willing, please grant us victory!" The Polish cavalry responded.

At this moment, their morale was high, and they were full of strength.

And at the same time that Henrik led the elite cavalry of armor into the battle, Yelu Zonglei also led a thousand armored cavalry to rush into the battlefield. This thousand-armored cavalry also includes a battalion of forbidden army [Protector], which can be said to be a sharp knife.

Unlike the Poles' 'chatter', Yelu Zonglei held his big sword high and pointed the blade forward: "Wan Sheng!" "One person calls, and a thousand people respond. An unstoppable momentum has risen from a thousand armor riders!

"Wan Sheng!" At this moment, both the escort army and the vassal army were all menacing, roaring in their throats, and then with a rein, they rushed towards the Polish cavalry again.

Boom! Puff puff puff......

Swords and spears staggered, and the sound of blades cutting through armor was endless. The same sound of knives and guns cutting into flesh resounded non-stop, like the screams that spread across the battlefield.

The difference in equipment between the Polish light cavalry and the allied armored cavalry was undoubtedly evident at this moment.

Countless Polish light cavalry were stunned to find that their weapons could not penetrate the Chinese's armor at all, and their defense was so vulnerable to those Chinese who galloped on horseback.

Countless heads and stumps with severed arms flew in the sky.

Relying on the superiority in armament, coupled with the messy formation of the Polish light cavalry, the 1,000 armored cavalry led by Yelu Zonglei was like a sharp tornado, and there was no 'tile' in the place where it passed.

Countless heads and severed limbs rolled off the ground. The Polish light cavalry was like a wooden door that had been hammered down, and it suddenly fell into pieces.

Yelu Zongdian did not delay at all, and immediately led his subordinates to pounce fiercely. Five battalions of light cavalry could completely wipe out the Poles in front of them in a short time.

And the 1,000 armored cavalry led by Yelu Zonglei continued to rush towards the Polish elite cavalry led by Henrik without looking back!

Yes, they've fought before, but what's there? The real elite horseman, not to mention being able to set up a flag with the four princes in history, Jin Wushu, what horse army hedges for a hundred rounds, but the endurance of the next ten times is still necessary - the war horse is changed on the way.
