Chapter 88 The Second Battle of Budapest Part 3, Look! Heavy Cavalry! Month

Seeing the enemy cavalry rumbling, rushing over like a torrent of steel. The crossbow soldiers were shocked, their morale dropped greatly, and their arms became disobedient. They trembled uncontrollably. If they were archers, the arrows shot out would definitely be crooked and not very strong. But the crossbow soldiers were different, and the mechanical force replaced the human power. As long as they were turned on, they would not have to spend any effort, they just needed to concentrate on aiming.

However, as the heavy cavalry on the opposite side were covered with iron armor, they only had two eyes that were shooting cold light. It was extremely terrifying. Despite the repeated instructions from the crossbow commander, some people still couldn't bear it. They shook their hands and pulled the crossbow machine. Then the thousands of crossbow soldiers in the first row seemed to have received the message. Thousands of crossbow arrows left the string! Shooted straight towards the Greek cavalry!

The Greek guards and the armored paladins in the front row were not panicked at all. They just increased their horse speed again, raised the cavalry shield in their hands to protect the xiong mouth, bent down, leaned as much as possible on the horse's back, and started charging with all their might!

Because there was a problem with the shooting timing, the Greek heavy cavalry was still a certain distance away from the effective range. Therefore, the Norman crossbowmen did not shoot many enemy cavalry in this round of volleys. The crossbowmen commander was extremely angry, but it was useless, so he quickly ordered the front row of crossbowmen to squat down and step on the crossbows again, while the second row of crossbowmen shot.

At the same time, the longbowers with a longer range also set a bow and arrow under Robin Hood's adjustment and shot the arrow rain for a while, because the opponent was the famous iron armored paladin (the guard cavalry at least looked similar to the iron armored paladin. However, there were fewer layers of armor inside, and the outside was the same), so the shooting speed was not the same, but the shooting power needed to be sufficient.

"Zhang Mangong! Change heavy arrows! Change heavy arrows all!,.

So Robin Hood shouted and ordered.

Originally, in order to pursue shooting speed and to protect your fingers from being damaged by bowstrings, longbowmen generally would not pull the longbow to the maximum, and that would require greater strength. Generally, longbowmen would not be able to shoot out after pulling a few times. However, this time it was different from usual. Longbows also understood that if they did not give their all, the longbow in their hands would probably not be able to shoot the iron armored paladin wearing three layers of armored armored like a turtle shell. They all gritted their teeth and used their strength to pull the longbow full.

According to the speed trajectory of the opponent's cavalry calculated by Robin Hood, the longbow was raised at different angles.

"shoot!"

Afterwards, with Robin Hood's order, the longbowmen who had already been unable to help themselves immediately let go of their right hands. With a "buzzing" sound, thousands of conical arrows passed over the heads of the heavy infantry in the front row and then fell from the sky like hail and thunderstorms. At the same time, the crossbowmen in the second formation also pulled the crossbow machine, "How could it be?!"

Some of the crossbow arrows flying towards the front hit the war horses. The scales on the war horses could not resist the power of the crossbow arrows, but the horses were a large creature~

After being shot for a few arrows, there will be no life danger in a short period of time. Those who shoot cavalry often cannot shoot through the three layers of iron armor on their bodies at all.

Of course, many of the guard cavalry were hit, and their armor was not as strong as the iron armored paladin, so they died like this.

The longbow bows are different. They are speeding up from the sky with gravity, aiming at the weakest head of the opponent's garrison. The iron armored paladins are unable to wear three helmets on their heads. Many people are shot through the iron helmets and the skulls in one go, and they die.

"Charge! Charge quickly!!"

Seeing the continuous increase in casualties of our cavalry, the commanders of the Iron-armored Paladin and the Guards' cavalry could not help but yell. The Iron-armored Paladin who rushed in the front significantly increased his speed.

The armored paladins are not fast.

But this is to compare with whom.

If it is an ordinary cavalry or a light cavalry, then the armored paladin is indeed not fast. But compared with infantry, he still has the word "cavalry".

Seeing the armored paladins rushing towards them faster, the Norman crossbowmen had no time to make a volley, and had to retreat and drill into the gaps between the various thousand-man teams of professional Viking warriors. Then, under Egil's strict order, they mingled with a group of temporarily recruited Norman militias and advanced towards the terrain of the left wing highlands.

"Prepare! Normans! Get ready! The armored paladin is here!!!"

The Viking officers in the first row of the front row, the commanders of the thousand men shouted, "Prepare for flying axes! Kill them!!"

On the other hand, the Greek cavalry charged forward, the earth shook, and on this side, the iron armored shield wall formed by the Norman heavy infantry was also extremely strong. The storm soldiers had already had their eyes red. Before the opponent's cavalry rushed over, they were ready to rush over and decide life and death with the enemy.

On the other hand, the dwarf tribe also saw formations with it during the heyday of the Roman Empire. At that time, the Romans had already seen the beginning of their experience in the heavy cavalry of the Second Empire of the Eastern Bos. They would have gained a lot of success whenever they fought with the dwarf tribe. The dwarf tribe experienced the power of the heavy cavalry charge at that time. Due to the dwarf's own physical condition, there were no mounts suitable for these warriors to ride in the world. Therefore, the dwarfs settled down and came up with a method to use infantry against cavalry. The super long spear square formation.

The guards of the Dwarf Chamber were born.

"These Roman cavalry seem to be even more powerful than the legends in the past." A typical, thick and round person standing in the front row, seemed to be a beer barrel. The bearded dwarf warrior said to his companion next to him before the other party rushed over.

"We have made progress over the years. Steel replaced bronze, and our square formation was stronger... His companion, an equally round dwarf, answered this.

The Greek cavalry rushed past Xun...

On the right wing of the coalition forces, the Greek attack caused panic among the French army. Speaking of the quality of longbowmen, Aquitaine's copycats are naturally not as good as professional longbowmen under Egil who even have a basic basic ballistics. Aquitaine can't match, so other French archers and crossbowmen will be even worse.

"Damn what they are wearing? Why can't they shoot?!" Seeing another arrow shot over, the arrow bounced open on the opponent's armor. An archer who was temporarily recruited, who was originally a hunter, threw the arrow in his hand to the ground in anger, and then he mopped a shoddy dagger made by a blacksmith in the village. He was panting, preparing to fight with the opponent.

However, at this time, the knights and their sergeants on the flank of France could not bear it. Although they had not received any orders, this could not stop their boiling blood and their yearning for honor, faith and spoils.

"The French knights! Let's charge! Defeat those heresies!"

Finally, when a young knight shouted out like this, the enthusiastic knights of France finally found a channel for catharsis. They cheered loudly, raised their cavalry and charged towards the flanks of the armored paladins and guards.

"Go some people! Stop those barbarian cavalry!" A commander of an iron-armored paladin noticed the sound of horse hooves beside him, turned over and took a look, then shouted like this, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the French heavy cavalry.

"Kill them! Virgin Mary!"

So a group of armored paladins followed him and rushed towards the French.

Heavy cavalry against heavy cavalry! The French feudal system is prevalent, and the number of knights is huge. It can be called the continental countries. French knights are the best in both quantity and quality. The nobles of the kingdom are also proud. The knights also boast about each other, believing that knights are invincible in the world and France is unparalleled in the world.

However, the reality is extremely cruel. The armored paladins taught them a lesson directly.

Let them know what the strongest cavalry that dominated the Middle Ages.

The spear is against the spear, the sword is against the mace, and the single-layer heavy chain armor is against the three-layer heavy armor.

The French knights were completely defeated. The armored paladins were like slaughtering. They directly blocked the charge of France, Burgundy and Aquitaine with less than four horses. They took advantage of the situation to destroy several cavalry in the front row. They immediately suppressed the arrogant arrogance of the French knights. Even the strongest knights were the strongest, it was difficult for those knights to break the defense of the armored paladins with their long swords. The heavy maces in the hands of the armored paladins could easily beat them to the point where their brains burst into pieces and smashed a pile of ribs in their mouths.

"It's embarrassing. It's really just that little bit of ragged cavalry wants to compete with the Eastern Roman armored paladins. After seeing this scene, Egil couldn't help but shake his head and said so.

On the right wing, the Swiss mercenaries saw the cavalry that was supposed to be used to defend their flanks, and they had suffered heavy losses at this moment and could collapse at any time. So under the whistle of the mercenary captain, the mercenaries on the far right of the phalanx consciously took one step back, three steps, and five steps later, and formed a slope. In this way, the phalanx was folded a little to defend their flanks.

"Charge! Long live Emperor Basil!!"
