Chapter 453: The Clash of Heavy Cavalry
In fact, the heavy cavalry of the two sides has entered a state of confrontation from the beginning: as the face of a country, these countries may have elite troops among the air cavalry, but under normal circumstances, the heavy cavalry can give the opponent a visual shock, especially when a large number of heavy cavalry shows the scene of ten thousand horses galloping on the plain, the magnificent scene and the temperament exuded by the heavy cavalry are the most perfect and prominent, so when the heavy cavalry of the two sides urges the war horses under the crotch to trot forward, While showing their superb riding skills with their teammates, the knights on both sides put pressure on each other with the murderous aura condensed from many battlefields.
The current Ottoman knights are like a huge hammer, containing an indomitable momentum to smash all the enemies in front of them, while the knights who never set the sun are knightly swords and knightly shields, maybe they can't reach the indomitable spirit of the Ottoman knights, but these heavy cavalry armies composed of three kinds of heavy cavalry can make the enemy feel that they can not only attack, but also retreat, just like a huge sponge can not only receive the opponent's most powerful attack, And it can also wrap the other party and suffocate while bearing it.
150 meters! The heavy cavalry on both sides increased their speed, gradually keeping the horses under their crotches at the highest speed when galloping, while continuing to maintain their bodies in a horizontal line with their comrades in the same ranks.
100 meters! In the sound of trumpets and the roars of the junior officers on both sides, the knights in the first row of the two giant heavy cavalry charging formations all swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and all the heavy cavalry spears held high in their hands were put down at this time, and they were evenly held in front of them in the armpit mode, so that the spear head at the head of the cavalry spear exuded a silver light and a slight chill against the body of the enemy on the opposite side, and at the same time held the knight's shield in his hand in front of his chest, so that it covered his heart as much as possible. Although this practice is of no use to the heavily armored knights who are in the first line and are usually sent to death.
50 meters! The horn of the charge began to sound, and the Ottoman knights clamped their horses' bellies hard, while on the opposite side, the English knights in the charge area at the front of the line also pierced the bellies of their horses with spurs mounted on their heels. In an instant, the horses on both sides who were stimulated entered a state of madness, and began to gallop forward frantically.
30 m .........
10 m .........
5 m ..........
Finally, amid the battle cries of the fanatical heavy cavalry on both sides, the sound of broken cavalry resounded in the sky, and the neighing of war horses and the spraying of blood filled the entire battlefield, the members of the Ottoman court knight guards collided with the English heavy knights! There is no imaginary scenery of heroes leading the Holy Knights to break through the opponent's formation, there is only the blood-colored boundary that distinguishes the two knights, those meat grinders formed by flying severed arms and broken blood-colored cavalry lance fragments, although this meat grinder appeared for less than a few tens of seconds, but it devoured the lives of countless excellent heavy knights in an instant.
Although the Ottoman side stabilized the English heavy knights who looked better than these palace guard knights in terms of the quality of the war horse and the physical fitness of the knights, the knights who never set the sun used the way of blindfolding the horses to reduce the psychological burden, after all, some things are better than when they are visible, and at the same time, the spurs behind the iron boots of the English knights also give the crotch war horses a more powerful charge power than those Persian horses in a short period of time, so although the knights of the two sides initially clashed, It seems that the sun never sets on the side of the heavy knights has lost more people, but this has not affected the current victory scale.
As the movement of the two giant cavalry charging formations began to slow down, the hoplites of more than 50,000 on both sides, with a total of more than 50,000, dropped their heavy cavalry spears and began to draw their secondary weapons to fight.
Previously, the Ottomans relied on their physical fitness and horse quality to stabilize the sunset, but now in hand-to-hand combat on horses, when the knights on both sides ignore the corpse fragments and horse corpses of their own enemies or comrades, and walk through the pool of blood to find their opponents, the knights who never set the sun gradually found their field.
Because the knights who never set the sun are equipped with a secondary weapon not a knight's sword, but a sophisticated one-handed war hammer and a strong knight's shield, so that the English knights who have armor-piercing attack attributes in hand-to-hand combat, and even the members of the Battlefield Order who are armed with sophisticated maces and knightly shields that gradually move forward from behind, and also have armor-piercing attack attributes, can easily knock those Ottoman knights away, although these Ottoman knights are wearing super heavy plate armor after 1 centimeter, and on the other hand, on the Ottoman side, The Ottoman knights began to worry about how to kill these sunset heavy knights, although the armor of these sunset soldiers was not as thick as their own side, but the armor of the sunset cavalry was better than the coverage of the body, and as the battle continued, the Ottoman heavy knights helplessly found that they could barely find the entry point of their combat knives on the bodies of those sunset heavy knights, and the only way to defeat these sunset heavy knights was to knock their bodies with a round shield or the handle of their war knives to make them fall. It seems that the only way to do this is to rush over and pull it underneath to fight, or to die together.
However, the battle situation is never one-sided to determine who will become the winner in the end, the day of the heavy knights began to gradually pull the number of battle casualties to the same level as the number of Ottoman heavy knights sacrificed, the black iron archers who were originally at the end of the Sunset cavalry charge formation suddenly jumped out of the battle circle, in the sun does not set heavy knights willing to risk the threat of the Chinese army being chiseled by the other side, divided their forces and began to surround the two wings of the Ottoman heavy knights, so that at least for the time being, they could not begin to spread out to the two wings, moved to the two wings of the war zone, Using the powerful compound bow in his hand, he began to rain arrows at the Ottoman heavy knights in the war zone.
If it was the previous Black Iron Archers, although they could also damage the Ottoman Court Knights' Guards, it was only damage, after all, these Ottoman heavy knights were wearing super heavy plate armor with a thickness of 1 centimeter. Instead of the current situation when the rain of arrows like a black waterfall fell from the sky, the Ottoman heavy knights began to fall in pieces, thanks to Sun Lin's extravagance for this battle, and gave him all the millions of well-made special armor-piercing arrows that were originally intended for those longbow guards to use in this battle.
However, this situation did not mean that the sun never set began to gain the upper hand, because the knightly squires of both sides also began to engage in a belated confrontation on both sides of the heavy cavalry hand-to-hand combat zone at this time.
