Chapter 772: That Sharp Arrow

Because the Holy Light Empire and the Griffin Empire have been established for countless years, the armies of the two countries have been institutionalized, and the unification of equipment has already been completed, so the allied troops are not like the current troops of the Sun Never Setting Empire, and there is no regional cavalry such as Dick heavy cavalry in terms of army, and there is not even a type of military that distinguishes the two knights from the two knights, and basically there is only one type of arms in all allied troops, and one has been rectified several times and is the most suitable for the army.

Of course, the sun never sets is not nothing, such as longbowmen, crossbowmen and auxiliary cavalry, which can be regarded as the most suitable for the regular troops of the Sunset Empire after the end of countless battles.

The unification of the arms brings about the improvement of the combat capability of the troops in all aspects, and at the same time, it can also reduce the mistakes that occur in the commander's instructions for the deployment of the arms, because the arms only have that ability in what they are, and there can be no variables.

For example, if your side is full of cavalry troops, then you can only fight mobile warfare, and if you don't fight mobile warfare, your cavalry unit is basically abolished.

I have to admit that whether it is the Holy Light Knight of the Holy Light Empire, or the Griffin Cavalry of the Griffon Empire (not the Griffin Knight, the Griffin Knight is a class of troops that ride griffins to fight in the air, and the Griffin Cavalry is a heavy cavalry that rides war horses to fight on the ground), they can already be said to be the best heavy cavalry troops on the King Continent.

The Knights of the Holy Light, who belong to the Holy Light Empire, are ostensibly known as the Guardians of the Holy Light Cult. But in fact, the training that any true Holy Light Knight receives is the most militarized training, and it is not an exaggeration to call it devil training, and it is equipped with super heavy cavalry plate armor specially suitable for heavy cavalry created by the dwarven clan with the most exquisite forging skills in the King Continent.

This type of plate armor weighs 1.5 times more than the whole body plate armor of the sun that never sets. At the same time, the defense is also much more than the sunset full-body plate armor, in addition, the weapons equipped by the Holy Light Knight are all the most sophisticated weapons, although they are not as good as the weapons of the Sunset Empire, but they are not much worse.

Although the griffin cavalry of the Griffin Empire is not as good as the Knights of Light in terms of equipment, they are infinitely close to the Templars of the Sunset Empire in terms of combat ability, and even the fanatical Cheng Dù for combat is not inferior to the Templars! Be aware of the Templars' enthusiasm for war. Unlike the Templars, who were loyal to Christianity, the griffin cavalry was driven by a desire to fight.

However, no matter how strong the two heavy cavalry arms of the Allies were. In fact, the two major cavalry arms are still inferior to the Sunset Cavalry in terms of combat ability, and this is the equipment advantage that the Knights of the Holy Light are proud of, of course, this is not to say that the equipment of the Templars and Griffin Cavalry is not good, but it means. The equipment of the Templars and griffons was comparable to that of the knights of the Empire. It's already backward equipment.

For example, after changing their equipment many times, the auxiliary cavalry that never sets has been replaced with light Moforged crossbows that are specially used to assist cavalry in combat and fight against the opponent's cavalry troops, and even the Cuman archers belonging to the special class have been replaced with improved steel composite bows that are specially suitable for harassment tactics, but what about the Allies? Although the Elite Rangers were also armed with steel javelins, the problem was that the heads of these steel javelins were the oldest diamond-shaped, rather than the specially designed steel javelins with bleeding grooves and head shapes that were more conducive to armor-piercing. The few knights and servants were equipped with wooden short bows that had been simply polished.

For example, the sun never sets, even if it is the Templars and Hospitallers. Under the influence of the Imperial Army, the weapons of its hand-to-hand combat on the horse have been replaced with sophisticated war hammers that have an armor-piercing effect on the armor, and on the other hand, although the Allied forces are equipped with sharp swords in their hands, but in fact, these sharp swords cannot break through the armor of the soldiers who do not set in the battle, not even the vests of the war horses, as for attacking those weak points, it is a pity that what is made on the side of the sun does not set is the most sophisticated full-body plate armor in the whole king continent, and the allied knights must pierce the sword into the gap between the faces of the helmets of the cavalry who never sets, or accurately stab the horse's eye, otherwise the Allied cavalry will not be able to damage the knight who never sets.

And what the sun does not set this time is to use the advantage of the side that does not set the sun in hand-to-hand combat on horses to annihilate the main force of the Allied heavy cavalry.

At this time, the 100,000 centaur army had completed the encirclement of the Allied heavy cavalry army on both sides and rear under the leadership of its tribal chieftains.

Perhaps because they had been chased away by the Sunset Cavalry before, all the Allied cavalry were holding back a wave of anger, and the front row of the Allied troops was completely unable to get the rear cavalry commanders to mobilize and storm the Templars in front. Even though the number of casualties of the Templars on which the sun never sets soared again, it also allowed the 100,000 formidable centaur warriors to speed up their mission in a short period of time.

"Make way for the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller to make way for the Dick Heavy Cavalry and the members of the Field Order to enter!" While the centaurs were carrying out the siege mission, the Templars and Hospitallers, who were at the forefront of the cavalry phalanx, began to deliberately loosen their formation.

Although this exposes the weaker side of his side to the enemy, this is actually one of the tactical tasks that the sun never sets to achieve in this battle: as the soldiers on both sides fall into cerebral congestion and begin to ignore the commander's orders, the seemingly weak expression of the sun does not set can arouse the desire of the Allied cavalry to kill, so that more Allied knights will be interspersed in the cavalry phalanx.

These Allied cavalry who entered the army of the Sunset Cavalry seemed to be a very brave move, but in fact it was the most stupid move. Because the cavalry on the side of the sun does not set at all in terms of hand-to-hand combat skills on horses, coupled with the sophisticated blunt weapons in their hands, in fact, as long as the sun does not set the cavalry is willing. With all its might, it can knock down the Allied knight without hitting the shield.

But the knights of the sun never set obviously would not do this, because the more Allied cavalry entered the cavalry phalanx, the more chaotic the cavalry phalanx on the allied side, and the less likely it was for the allies to retreat after reacting to know the tactics of the sun never setting. But now it is clear that disrupting the war will benefit the army of the sun to the greatest advantage.

While the cavalry of the two sides were fighting, the light cavalry of the two sides on the periphery of the cavalry also engaged in the most brutal battle, of course, in fact it was a complete slaughter.

Due to the importance that the King Continent attaches to light cavalry troops, Cheng dù is not high. So basically all the light cavalry units were still in the stage where they had no armor, only an extended version of the spear or a wooden bow with a miscellaneous horse.

But the sun never sets, with the development of thermal weapons within the empire, the sun never sets knowing that in the future, the ability of the heavy cavalry will only gradually diminish with the development of thermal weapons in their hands. And the highly mobile light cavalry will be excellent comrades in the gunpowder unit. Therefore, from the very beginning, the sun never sets on constantly innovating the weapons of the light cavalry units and training the combat capabilities of the light cavalry units.

As the heavy cavalry on both sides began to collide, especially after the centaur heavy cavalry units on which the sun did not lag behind began to move to the sides of the Allied forces, the Allied generals who noticed this strange behavior on the side of the sun decided to order the Elite rangers and knightly minions moving on the periphery to move towards the centaur warriors to control their movements and cover the frontal troops. At this time, the allies were still stuck in the idea that they could chisel the army on their own side, after all, the allies did not know that the fragility of the phalanx in the front row before the sun never set was intentional.

However, the Allied light cavalry moved fast enough, and the light cavalry moved faster, and while the Allied cavalry increased their speed, the cavalry on the side of the sun moved further outer. Soon, the flanks of the hussars on both sides were exposed to each other. However, at this time, the Allied light cavalry was unable to make any moves except to move towards the centaur army that did not set the sun.

In order to stop the actions of the centaur troops on the side of the sunset, the first people sent by the Allied side were knight servants, although some of these knight servants had wooden bows on their backs, but the problem was that their task at this time was not to deal with the light cavalry on which the sun never set, so this time all the knight servants were holding cavalry spears or dead extended spears.

There is no need to think about the idiotic idea of replacing the spears and cavalry spears in their hands, unless the task of the Allies is not to stop the movement of the centaur cavalry, but to give the centaur warriors their heads.

The Sunset Warriors are Predators, and they don't show mercy to the enemy on the battlefield, and after a knight servant at the front enters the range of the Mo Forge Crossbow in the hands of the first auxiliary cavalry, countless sharp arrows gallop towards the knight servant like swift lightning.

The arrow with strong penetrating power was instantly inserted from the shoulder of the knight's servant, and it stands to reason that this position could not be regarded as completely capable of inflicting a fatal blow on it, but for the penetrating power of the Mo Forging Crossbow, the human flesh was simply a layer of fragile paper, and there was no so-called vital and non-vital point at all.

"Ahh A heart-rending wail came from the mouth of the fallen knight's servant, but soon his wail was drowned out by the chaotic sound of horses' hooves around him, and his body was turned into flesh after the horse galloped, but the long-range shooting of the auxiliary cavalry had just begun.

In order to be able to resist the centaur warriors, the knights and servants are all equipped with spears, and at the same time, they must also learn from the heavy cavalry to arrange a denser formation, and this practice completely makes the auxiliary cavalry a hundred meters away very happy, after all, how to strengthen the accuracy of the Mo forging crossbow, after all, it belongs to the crossbow itself, and it cannot maintain a certain accuracy in the process of riding and moving like a bow, and if the opponent puts on a scattered formation, 100 Mo forging crossbow salvos may not be able to maintain a hit rate of more than 10%.

But now the formation of the knight servants of the allied army is completely as if they want to eat all the crossbow arrows of the Mo forging crossbow in the hands of the auxiliary cavalry, although the loading speed of the Mo forging crossbow is slow, maybe the auxiliary cavalry legion can only shoot a maximum of 3 arrows after the knights and servants meet each other, but if each arrow is hit, even if the arrows overlap the enemy's body, it is enough to kill and injure more than half of the knight servants of the allied army.

Of course, the Allied side is certainly not stupid, they will certainly not give them the names of the knight servants on their side so lightly after discovering the attempt of the auxiliary cavalry that the sun never sets, and the junior officers of the Allied army are not fools, so when the auxiliary cavalry began to shoot the knight servants from a distance, the Elite rangers who were moving behind the knight servants also increased their speed again and moved towards the outer area.

Obviously, the Allies wanted to let these javelin cavalry block the auxiliary cavalry, and if the Elite Rangers really approached the auxiliary cavalry, the Allied plan would definitely succeed, after all, although most of the auxiliary cavalry is currently equipped with inlaid armor, they also wear a layer of weak steel armor, although they can effectively resist the damage of bows and arrows, but they cannot resist steel javelins.

However, the Elite Rangers move faster than the auxiliary cavalry, but there are also guys on the side of the sun who move faster than the Elite Rangers, and these guys can shoot the Elite Rangers in a short time.

"Projectile!" Under the leadership of the Cuman generals, the Cuman archers had already drawn their compound bows into the shape of a full moon, and after breaking away from the auxiliary cavalry army, they galloped towards the Elite Rangers in an extremely scattered formation, and threw arrows at the Elite Rangers in turn at a distance of 100 meters beyond the effective range of the javelins.

The Elite Ranger itself is composed of nomads at the junction of the territories of the two Allied countries and the Celestial Dragon Empire, although the folk style is fierce, but it is also a group of poor people who have not been able to eat, after all, the Celestial Dragon Empire will send Wulong troops from time to time to raid the homes of these miserable people, and the place where the dragon's breath passes is not something that can be completed in a short period of time to turn it back into farmland.

Even after these hard-working people joined the army, because of their extremely high mortality rate, in addition to the weapons in their hands, the armor on their bodies can be completely described by the word streaking, so even those slightly penetrating weapons are nightmare level storage for the Elite Rangers.

Although the rain of arrows thrown by the Cuman archers is not very lethal, they shoot those guys whose equipment is completely at the level of naked running, and the Cuman archers are all natural horse archers, and the hit rate of shooting arrows can completely throw off the auxiliary cavalry a few streets, plus the loading speed of the compound bow is much faster than that of the Mo forging crossbow, so although the Cuman archers started killing after the auxiliary cavalry turned on the slaughter mode, but in less than 1 minute, The Cuman archers had already outnumbered the auxiliary cavalry.

The Elite Rangers, who were the targets of the slaughter, were now miserable, because of the high mobility of the Cuman archers, coupled with the formation that was not a formation at all, the Elite Ranger Rangers could not hit a few even if they threw all the javelins in their hands at the Cuman archers.

As for the hand-to-hand combat with those Cumans, let alone think about it, the weapons in hand-to-hand combat on his side are basically rusty goods and obsolete goods, and even some farming tools are taken from the field, such as sickles and the like, and the armor on his body is only a fragile piece of clothing.

On the Cuman side, the inlaid armor on its body alone is enough to blow up a few streets of its own, not to mention the two sabers that the fanatical and warlike Cuman warriors pulled out of their scabbards after entering their side, shining in the sun, in fact, only the sun never sets knows that the Cumans' horse combat skills are much better than the equipment of the auxiliary cavalry, and in hand-to-hand combat, the Cuman archers can also fight two auxiliary cavalry at a time.

Now, the Allied resistance can be said to have been broken up by the sun in less than a few minutes, and the well-armed centaurs have finally begun to make contact with the Allied knight minions, but to the horror of the Allied light cavalry, these arrogant knights did not even use the weapons in their hands, and directly used their bodies to disperse the knight minions' thousand-pierced cavalry phalanx that had been shot by the auxiliary cavalry.
