Chapter 144: Battle of Magaburg (4)
At this time, the Mishaal military camp can be said to be extremely chaotic, with the sound of horses' hooves colliding with objects everywhere, and 10,000 feudal knights, with the cooperation of their attendants, gradually attacked the central area from the periphery of the camp unusually smoothly. But when 10,000 feudal knights rushed here, the knights were finally forced to stop their advance, because at this time the soldiers on Michal's side began to counterattack.
When the feudal knights rushed into the center of the camp, the compound archers in the Mishal army climbed up to the shooting platforms in the camp one by one, and began to think that the feudal knights would rain arrows with compound bows made of animal tendons and wood in their hands. Although the power of the arrows shot by the compound archers of the Michael Empire is indeed not good, and it is completely impossible to shoot through the armor worn by the feudal knights, but the war horses under the feudal knights are different, although the current London City can already mass-produce light plate armor and create steel armor with arc linearity, but unfortunately, because there is no place in Sun Lin's hands suitable for breeding war horses, that is to say, all kinds of guilds in Sun Lin's hands can now start to build, including the upcoming primary seminary in Edinburgh, The Sherwood Guild of Fort Biliga, the Adventure Guild of Orth Territory, etc., and even the members of the Stonemason Guild have been formed, and all that is needed is a new collar's city-type political center (the Alchemy Guild is in a seal, and it can only be built after the main line of the Tech Tree Gunpowder is unlocked).
But among the many guilds, the only one that gave Sun Lin a headache was the Horse Wrangler Guild, not because there were no personnel, but because there were hundreds of people who were professional horsemen in the population rewarded by the system, and even among these people, there was also a royal horse master who spoke fluent English, but his nationality was the royal horse master of the king of the French Kingdom of the original world. But unfortunately, until now, none of the territories in Sun Lin's hands had the ability to build a horse herding guild. What the Wranglers needed was a guild built on the Guankuo Plain, and although the current London Territory was very suitable, it was impossible to establish the Horse Rancher's Guild in the London Territory because the City of London was to be developed into a city of maritime trade, and a lot of land would be needed for future urban expansion.
There is no horse herding guild, so that there are only 3 types of war horses used by Sun Lin's cavalry troops from beginning to end, the first is the brown horse that the Hobila Ranger said to ride, which has a high movement speed and slightly better endurance, but cannot run with weights, so this can only be used for reconnaissance and patrols; The second is the most common dark brown war horse in Europe, which has very average ability in all aspects and excellent weight, and is currently used by the heavy cavalry in Sun Lin's army; As for the third, there is a European thoroughbred dark horse, tall in stature. The physique is strong, and the fierceness is very strong, it is a war horse specially trained for elite cavalry units, but because its fertility is not very good, this ** is generally used by the general's guard.
And the feudal knights are riding the second type of war horse mentioned above, this kind of war horse is really good, but it is not yet able to be equipped with steel armor, and it is already the maximum ability of these war horses to be able to run with the feudal knights wearing light plate armor while running.
Although the Mishals have never dealt with heavy cavalry, this does not mean that these compound archers do not know the truth that "persimmons still have to be picked and pinched". After seeing that the iron arrows in their hands could not penetrate the armor of the feudal knights, but could shoot and injure the war horses under the knights, the 20,000 compound archers immediately shifted their targets to the war horses under the feudal knights, and for them, although the war horses were moving objects and could not guarantee accuracy to a certain extent, these targets that were larger than the feudal knights were easier to hit than those feudal knights. So. But when the Mishals reacted and began to fight back in an orderly manner, the feudal knights also began to suffer casualties, and after a few rounds of arrow rain, hundreds of feudal people were thrown to the ground and died directly with the fall of the war horses.
On the other side, the snow-capped mountain-type warriors in the central area of the camp, including berserkers and raiders, also armed with giant axes and flying axes, gathered one after another and began to counterattack in an orderly manner. The threat of the Snow Mountain Berserkers is to say that these skilled feudal knights can always use their rifles to pick these snow mountain berserkers away with their rifles when they are about to chop the double-edged axes in their hands.
But the threat of those snow-capped mountain raiders multiplied at this moment. Due to the chaos of the battlefield, most of the snowy mountain raiders were able to use their nimble bodies to avoid the heavy cavalry charge in the intricate terrain of the camp, and after that, these cunning warriors would throw their axes at the horse's hooves while dodging, or when the sun never set on the cavalry to rush over. The sharp flying axe can instantly cut off the hooves of the war horse without armor protection, and due to inertia and other reasons, when the war horse falls, the feudal knight on horseback also flies out and falls to the ground, and the luckier knight can immediately stand up and pull out his sword after falling to fight the rushing snow mountain raiders to get a glimmer of life, and the bad luck is either directly killed, or the mishal who was washed up used the axe to chop into meat sauce.
"Commander Patton, the rain of arrows from the Mishals is too dense for the brethren to rush in, how can we help now?" After knocking a snow-capped mountain berserker in front of him with the help of a war horse, a middle-aged feudal knight rode a war horse to join the squad of the commander-in-chief of the cavalry unit-Patton, and looked at Patton who was riding a war horse next to him and galloping in the aisle of the barracks with an anxious look and asked.
"How's the battle going on the outskirts of the camp?"
"It's not good! The Mishals have already reacted and started to fight hard! The Mishals, who had previously scattered and fled, returned to join the fight! We are in a very dangerous situation, we are about to be surrounded by those Mishals! ”
"Alright! Anyway, tonight's strategic goal has been achieved......... Such! You take someone to the trumpeter in the team and ask them to blow the trumpet of retreat! ”
"Yes!" After a while, the rapid sound of trumpets began to sound in Mishaal's barracks, and the sound of trumpets was heard
Seeing this, the Mishals immediately went to chase after the knights, the knights' attendants and others immediately grabbed the reins and began to retreat in an orderly manner in the direction of Magaburg..................
