Chapter 482 This is a conspiracy
"They are here, this guy's men are really extraordinary!"
The two sides were about 2,000 meters apart, and Zhao Fubo's 5,000 cavalry formed a row there, standing quietly without moving. The red spear tassels and red helmets were swaying in the sky like fire.
Especially the non-reflective black armor and the black cloak that flutters in the wind. This is in sharp contrast to the Crusader's white cloak with a cross. It seems that the Crusader is an army of light, and Zhao Fubo and his men are directly from hell.
The 40,000 cavalry of the Crusader were only the front row of knights, but only these cavalry often made the Mamluk cavalry have to use 2 to 3 times the military force to be able to win. After all, these guys' cavalry can easily penetrate the shield wall and pierce the people behind, or easily knock a heavy cavalry away.
This is what some people describe. The crusaders' rifles are like hitting a door hammer. They will only hit them and throw them away, using their heavy swords or other weapons to fight. But these knights holding shields, if they abandon their religious beliefs, are really bloody killers who are quite familiar with cruel killings.
The heavy cavalry is powerful because of heavy armor, rifles, and heavy horses, but when facing the iron cavalry, it also fails because of this.
The officers and officers of both sides were observing each other at this time. However, Zhao Fubo used telescopes farther away, and the things Louis IX used were toys to fool.
"Will this guy charge against the heavy cavalry? In my impression, he is not such a fool, I guess he won't...!"
If Zhao Fubo charges at this moment, then the Crusaders are welcome. Because when they charge, the heavy cavalry with heavy armored cavalry as the vanguard can also launch a charge. On both sides, Zhao Fubo and the others will suffer directly.
The Arab Mamluk cavalry is often defeated by this hand. With one collision, the Mamluk cavalry will retreat, and the defeated cavalry will often disperse their own army. If they disperse, they will become completely defeated under the cover of the Crusader heavy cavalry.
Just as Louis IX speculated that Zhao Fubo might have made, Zhao Fubo's cavalry moved. Not only did they move, but even the black-armored cavalry were in a mess when charging, with different speeds and speeds. Even when these guys charged, they set off fireworks and trumpets.
It was the bronze horn created by Martin, which was similar to the horn horn used by the cavalry during combat. However, this bronze horn can blow more rhythms and form more command commands.
"These Eastern guys don't know how to use cavalry at all!"
The replacement of his brother Earl Artowa was the Baron Gremour. Looking at the main battle cavalry that was attacking in a scattered formation, he couldn't help but show a mocking look.
Because the Mamluk cavalry of the Arab Empire initially relied on the number of iron armored cavalry of the Crusaders to carry out such a charge. However, in the subsequent war, the cavalry of the Arab Empire was beaten to run around.
Later, Saladin used a large number of Mamluk cavalry, lined up in close formations, relying on strict discipline and repeated collisions to gain initiative on the battlefield. Moreover, most of the time, Saladin adopted the means of avoiding the real and the virtual.
This was the first time the Crusaders soldiers saw the main combat cavalry under Zhao Fushou, who had hit the defense line of the armored cavalry in such a scattered formation. Like Sir Gremour, they believed that this was a one-way massacre.
But then they found that they were wrong. All the commanders of the crusaders holding toy telescopes discovered in their eyes that the cavalry, who were originally charging with Chinese spears, had put away their spears while galloping. Then they pulled out the strange-looking bows and arrows from behind the saddle.
Until then, almost everyone realized that the bow and arrow were coming!
"Note, bow and arrow..."
"This is a conspiracy..."
Even English longbowmen could not shoot so far. They didn't understand whether the black-armored warriors in front of them were crazy and would shoot arrows from such a distance.
Here we will explain the problem of the range of bows and arrows. The maximum range is said to be about 350 meters, and there is even a greater distance. But this is when the weather is good, use strong bows and light arrows. Even so, at 350 meters, the arrow branches have no accuracy or lethality. Not to mention dealing with plate armor, even chain mail cannot deal with it.
The 200-meter ejection, which uses a higher ballistic trajectory to form gravity acceleration, can be said to have reached the limit of bows and arrows. As for which bows and arrows in the East and the West are better, they should have their own advantages under various conditions.
As mentioned earlier, pulley bows are technology 800 years later. Compared with the bow and arrow technology at this time, it is really too much. Although Martin's design cannot reach the best level in the future, here, the Rambo folding bow is the universal equipment with the largest range in the world.
There was a rain of arrows in the sky, and it sprinkled towards the Crusaders. Fortunately, they used the telescope and discovered the other party's intentions and used the shield in time.
Amid the impact of "ding ding dong dong", the people with shields were surprised to find that these spinning and high-speed arrow branches actually penetrated their shields. Although they did not hurt the person on the front of the shield, they were enough to worry them.
The heavy armored cavalry in the front row not only had heavy armor on their own, but even their horses were covered with thick armor. Even so, the four-edged armored cone also made some heavy armored knights shoot down from the horse.
When heavy bodies fall off the horse, they look like heavy pockets. Of course, we know that these will not be large-scale killing. Because these arrows are shot out by the main combat cavalry who hold sniper bows and sergeant-level main combat cavalry.
The sound of the bronze horn just now asked them to use sniper bows to kill the knights when they approached the Crusaders.
You should know that among those guys, there are many subordinates who are not from Louis IX of France. If there are too many casualties, it is difficult to explain to the leaders of the two Knights.
