Chapter 2 The hussars are mighty!
The top boss in Sanjiang has more than 300 votes than me, so I kneeled down...
Because there were no other enemies except Sweden in this battle, there was no need to worry. Therefore, the Norman army was not very fast, and it took an average of thirty or forty miles a day to reach the sky. The Norman soldiers also had an extremely relaxed attitude towards this war. They were determined by the fact that they defeated Gustav.
It is a good thing to have a high morale in the army. But it is a bad thing to be too proud of the army. However, Egil doesn't care about this. Would he be willing to suppress the army and implement civil servant politics? Just kidding. Be a little arrogant and arrogant. Egil looks at his army with a doting parents' mood to look at his children.
In this way, on the sixth day, after the high-spirited Norman army had occupied nearly one-third of Sweden, the professional Hussars in front finally fought with the enemy.
Finnish light cavalry vs. Professional Hussars. In terms of number, professional Hussars have the advantage. Two thousand four hundred Hussars act in squadrons, and their formation is very scattered. The coverage is positive and the range is quite wide. After encountering the enemy, they can at least attract hundreds of other reinforcements. Then the powerful compound bow in their hands opened and searched one by one, and the arrows were gone. The Finnish light cavalry had not had much defense - and they were also charging, and then they crashed.
It collided with the feather arrow.
The Hussars had a pot of feather arrows, including ten standard light arrows, used to kill light enemies, and five heavier triangular arrows to fight against heavy armor targets. However, although it is a light arrow, the lethality of the light arrows shot with a short composite bow is also quite good. Especially when some light cavalry equipped with leather armor think about these feather arrows charging fiercely.
The Finnish light cavalry was overturned by a crowd. However, in such a short period of time, they were almost approaching the Hussars.
"Cut them over!" A fanatical voice like a wolf howling spurted out from the throat of the Hussar Captain. At the same time, the sound of desolate horns sounded again, and the men of the grassland were in an instant and their blood was boiling, and their ferocious wildness appeared.
So the Hussars roared and threw their compound bow to the ground, then pulled out their saber and rushed over - of course, if their bow could remain the same after the war and were found smoothly by him, then everything would be said to me, but if the answer was no, then they would be punished for damaging military supplies and being whipped five times on their butts.
So, the fierce hand-to-hand combat began - although the Hussars were actually able to use their own power to detour and shoot two more arrows. But when the guys were so angry, they lost their minds. They rushed over with their quick sword and horse.
So, the standard showdown between light cavalry begins - both sides raise their sabers to increase the speed of the horse to the fastest, and then two war horses pass by suddenly - at the same time, the saber is swung, and then the legendary reflex nerves, experience and a little luck to judge life and death - avoid other people's sabers - at least don't let him chop on your vital points. At the same time, try to make sure that your saber can cut the enemy over. If your head is cut off, it will be embarrassing. On the contrary, it is a great honor to cut off the enemy's head directly - don't doubt that although the cervical vertebrae is indeed very hard, it is quite easy to cut off the opponent's head with the help of horsepower and a good steel knife.
This encounter is that most of the heavy cavalry will die together. It depends on the skills of both sides, and life and death will be decided immediately! Next, the dead person falls off the horse's back, or the winner is just injured and the dead person continues to charge forward, adjust the angle and then fight against another cavalry rushing towards the opposite side. In this way, the possibility of the weak being killed will increase a lot. However, the strong can kill more than one enemy at once. It is quite efficient and quite in line with the rules of the strong being the rule of the strong being. Therefore, it is quite common in light cavalry duels.
The elite light cavalry on both sides will hedge against each other, unless all the other side dies. Otherwise, no matter the cavalry in the front row and the back row, they will have to go back and forth. Just like a sieve, the tragedy of poor combat effectiveness will be eliminated, and then the next round and forth will be carried out...
The two light cavalry units walked back and forth. A sword light shone, and sometimes a flash of blood was cut down, and the arms, heads, fingers, or thighs were cracked down. Sometimes someone was opened and the stomach was broken, and the internal organs flowed out of the wound. The Hussar was obviously frightened, and threw the sabre and pulled the intestines into it. Then the next Finnish light cavalry rushed over and wiped the neck with a knife...
After this round trip, the survivors on both sides fought out of the enemy group, rushed for a distance and turned their horses head. At this time, you can see how many people there are left on your side.
The Finnish light cavalry suffered heavy losses. The surviving people were less than forty, and everyone was injured.
But it is not that the Finnish light cavalry is not capable of combat effectiveness, nor that they are not brave enough. It is the simplest, most practical and most cruel problem.
They are not large enough.
It has been said before that the Hussars could recruit three or four squadrons of reinforcements with a whistle, which totaled four or five hundred cavalry - but this Finnish light cavalry had less than one hundred cavalry. They were not as good as the equipment. This time, Egil captured Livornia and Prussia, and introduced Polish war horses and Hungarian war horses, which were at least a large number of Arab horses. In this way, the horse breeds needed by the Wrangler Guild were enough.
So, in Oslo, which was upgraded to a fortress, a Wrangler guild was built. Wrangler experts are currently studying to cultivate a perfect war horse with strong endurance, speed, weight and impact. Although it has not been successful yet, a by-product - a light war horse with good speed and endurance has been cultivated. It was named Norman War Horse No. 1 by Egil. It is the standard war horse used by the Hussars today.
The number, equipment, and war horses were not as good as others. The Finnish light cavalry was unable to turn the world back - but these soldiers who grew up in the snow and ice were fearless, and the boundaries of life and death were nothing but this - after the leader of the light cavalry ordered three light cavalry to return to report the news, less than forty, and everyone was injured - a few even broke one arm and lost too much blood. The Finnish light cavalry who stepped into hell with half of their feet roared and launched the last charge in their lives.
However, it's meaningless.
Under such circumstances, the Hussars quickly divided a squadron of nearly a hundred people and rushed towards the three retreating enemies. The remaining hundreds of Hussars directly crushed them...
"Oh. Victory."
After getting his own scouts to win a game and wiped out the enemy, Egil nodded calmly, but laughed wildly in his heart. He affirmed his extremely wise efforts to develop light cavalry.
"It's true that it's me." This is the idea that Egil thought of the most at this moment.
"Tell me, the entire army stops advancing and sets up camp here. The tomahawk cavalry joins the scouts and continues to increase their search efforts, and be sure to find out the position and number of opponents." Egil gave the order, and then said "Yes." Nemulis nodded, then dismounted, disappeared after three or two turns.
"It's necessary to be so urgent. Isn't it just that the army rushed over to solve them?" Artoria was a little surprised: "The other party had to die of 30,000 people, and the number of professional troops was not large. We have 50,000 people, and all of them were professional troops-but then again, how did you do it?! So many professional troops?!"
"Ah hahaha... I, the Vikings, have brave and brave, pick up some crooked melons and jujubes, and I will train them to be brave and warlike warriors!" Egil beat him up and directly walked around this matter.
"But... these weapons, and mining technology... Are you hiding something from me?" Artoria was not a fool, and she was half-believing and half-doubting about Egil's words.
"Come on, Hani, look at my eyes." Egil pressed Artoria's shoulder, and then stared at Artoria with hot eyes full of love. Artoria only held on for a few seconds and then broke down without fighting.
"Forget it - just do whatever you like." Artoria shook Egil's hand with a flushed face, and then ran away with a whip. However, she was quite cute when she was shy.
"Wait, Hani--" So Egil immediately chased after him. The knights of the guards looked at each other and were laughing and crying. But they really didn't expect that the couple would start playing this trick when the war was approaching. They had to chase him.
At night, after Artoria, who had been so busy that she had enough trouble, fell asleep, Egil put on her clothes and cloak and got up again.
There is news in France.
"Burgundy, France and France gathered heavy troops with misconduct! The subordinates have only 5,500 troops. I beg you to mercy!"
This handwritten letter from Lufos was burned after reading it.
Immediately followed by a handwritten letter from John, the commander of the English garrison army: "I have received a letter of help from Normandy. However, Scotland in northern Xinjiang has also had ill intentions recently, and rumors spread among the nobles within Britain. My subordinates are wondering, please give me an order to send troops to aid Normandy? What is the scale of aid? If my subordinates personally lead the army to help, what is the primary and secondary relationship with Lufos?"
Then came the handwritten letter from Hans, the chief defender of Livornia: "The Grand Duchy of Lithuania stopped invading Poland a few days ago, and at the same time gathered troops around Riga. The nomadic light cavalry crossed the border from time to time to harass him. The subordinates stopped moving. However, they felt like the storm was about to come..."
Seeing this, Egil's brows were already frowning. What finally caused him to explode was Nemulis's return: "The total number of Swedish troops is more than 30,000, but there are more than 40,000 troops from unknown origin next to the Swedish troops. It is suspected to be the Ross people..."
