The two sides, which both belong to the ranks of heavy cavalry, are not like the Central Army and the Cavalry Division in the previous April War.
The Royal Knights are not just any ordinary people, they are also the top cavalry force in the mainland.[.]
Although the cavalry battalion led by Yu Feng was not as numerous as the opponent, it relied on its excellent technology and defense to not lose during the collision.
The wedge formation adopted by the cavalry battalion played a key role.
With the Arrancar, the Royal Knights did not expect that the opponent would successfully offset the lack of numbers using this method.
However, this does not mean that Yu Feng's cavalry battalion was not damaged. On the contrary, there was almost no difference in casualties between the two sides.
After the impact and collision, both sides turned their horses' heads in unison. In the center of the battlefield, many fallen cavalry could no longer stand up. The cavalry's former horses stood quietly in front of their owners, waiting to meet their owners again.
The moment of charging into battle, although this has never been possible.
After turning the horses' heads, the two sides clashed again. In this battle without the sound of fighting, the pride of the cavalry was fully displayed at this moment.
However, some people are not willing to let the two cavalry stage a classic cavalry battle.
The commander in charge of commanding the Royal Knights and the three thousand light cavalry, York Rohard, was a confidant general in the hands of the eldest prince. From being an attendant to the eldest prince, he gradually developed into a general leading such a distinguished team as the Royal Knights.
The order he received was to delay the Dragon City troops as much as possible. In York's opinion, the previous lines of defense could delay the Dragon City troops for at least five days!
But who would have expected that in just two days, Longcheng's army would advance here, which shocked York greatly.
The defeat of the Royal Legion forced York to lead his cavalry troops to meet them in advance. However, the core of the mission was to delay as much time as possible.
York, who had made up his mind and prepared to use the natural advantages of the cavalry to trap the Dragon City troops here, found that the elite Royal Knights actually rushed out after being provoked by the opponent, and did not even obey his orders.
This made York very angry. Although he had always been the nominal commander of the Royal Knights, he had never been recognized by these proud knights. The reason was simple. York sneered at the pride of the cavalry. Because in York's opinion
In the concept, heavy cavalry is an outdated thing. Cavalry is used for sneak attacks and harassment, and light cavalry is enough to fulfill this task.
Elite and heavy cavalry like the Royal Knights have more symbolic significance than actual combat significance.
To be honest, York's idea is correct. Although he is a little paranoid, his idea coincides with that of the Dragon City military.
In fact, as early as the establishment of the First Cavalry Division, there had been discussions within Longcheng about the priorities.
Some people believe that the light cavalry is the unit that maximizes the advantages of cavalry. With its super mobility and powerful long-range strikes, coupled with the advancement of infantry, it will become one of the protagonists on the battlefield.
However, this statement was opposed by many generals. In the era of cold weapons, the biggest killer weapon was heavy cavalry, which became an organized heavy cavalry unit!
Just imagine, when you face a tidal wave of heavy cavalry troops charging, the devastating destructive power will make your scalp numb and your whole body tremble just thinking about it.
Both methods have their advantages.
Zhou Yunfei also had a headache.
Rationally, he believed that heavy cavalry would gradually be eliminated in the future, and eventually light cavalry would become the mainstream. But now, at this moment, the unparalleled advantages of heavy cavalry cannot be replaced by light cavalry.
Finally, Zhou Yunfei decided on the direction of development. Longcheng established a heavy cavalry unit, the First Cavalry Division.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no light cavalry in Dragon City. On the contrary, Dragon City is now accumulating strength and waiting for the breakthrough point to arrive!
York's idea is, to put it bluntly, the right idea in the wrong place at the wrong time.
At this time in the Ross Continent, humankind's understanding of cavalry was still limited to the vague concept of strength. The cavalry's tactical actions mostly relied on instinct.
York did not want such an elite unit of the Royal Knights to be damaged by the opponent's challenge. At the same time, he also saw the advance of the opponent's infantry.
The order was then issued, and three thousand light cavalry were dispatched. Their target was the cavalry battalion on the battlefield preparing to charge again!
Hearing the noise behind him, Yu Feng smiled slightly, the fish was hooked!
In fact, it is not the two thousand heavy cavalry of the Royal Knights that pose a threat to the first division, but the three thousand light cavalry!
Yes, it's them.
Why don't the elite heavy cavalry pose any threat? The reason is very simple. The charge of the heavy cavalry is certainly terrifying, and its destructive power is also quite powerful. But if it is a head-on collision, the first division may not be afraid of them!
As for the infantry, the infantry of Dragon City are not afraid of you attacking, but they are worried about being held back.
In a head-on collision, it is hard to say who will win, but once they are held back by these three thousand light cavalry, the First Division will be in trouble. The super mobility is the advantage of the light cavalry. If the Royal Knights of the heavy cavalry are allowed to be in the formation,
After making several maneuvers, I am afraid that the horses under them have long since run out of power.
The heavy armor of the heavy cavalry brings super protection and destructive power, but it also becomes their biggest restriction.
When Yu Feng attacked, he paid attention to the three thousand light cavalry who didn't know what was behind them. The fight with the Royal Knights was just to consume part of the heavy cavalry's horsepower.
Now, York just gave the order, and Yu Feng and the others suddenly changed their target to the light cavalry behind them.
Turning the horse's head again, the cavalry battalion quickly completed the turning maneuver.
The Royal Knights, who also turned around, did not realize that the division behind them was approaching!
It was a trap, a whole set of cavalry pride at stake.
There was a very interesting scene on the battlefield.
The First Division, the Royal Knights, and Yu Feng's cavalry battalion all faced the three thousand light cavalry. As if they were from the same camp, the three thousand light cavalry became the focus of the battlefield.
Seeing that the cavalry battalion turned their horses' heads and faced the three thousand light cavalry, the knights of the Royal Knights were furious.
On the one hand, he was dissatisfied that someone was ruining this heavy cavalry battle, and on the other hand, he was dissatisfied with the fact that the cavalry battalion actually gave up the charge regardless of the pride of the cavalry.
The truth was evident in the details. Yu Feng and his cavalry battalion completed their adjustments in an instant and charged forward against the three thousand light cavalry.
York was stunned at first, and then refused to cut it.
For such a small number of less than a thousand cavalry to attempt to fight an enemy several times their size is either stupid or crazy.
The so-called Dragon City is nothing more than that!
York originally wanted to join the Royal Knights to eat up this outstanding cavalry after the second charge between the opponent and the Royal Knights, completely eliminating the only changing force of the First Army Division.
Now, the cavalry battalion happened to be surrounded by the Royal Knights and the light cavalry. York was extremely happy and immediately gave the order to charge.
Yu Feng smiled lightly, the other party really cooperated and chose to attack, which really suited the cavalry battalion's appetite!
"Han Army!"
"mighty!"
Whenever Dragon City's army shouts such slogans, it means one thing. That is, the decisive battle has begun!
Tap tap tap tap!
In small steps, the cavalrymen skillfully adjusted their horses and maintained a relative distance from their comrades around them.
Seeing the cavalry battalion rushing towards the light cavalry, the cavalrymen of the Royal Knights did not choose to continue advancing. Because they all knew that this was probably the last charge of this cavalry. In their opinion, the difference in numbers was too large.
Even Dragon City's cavalry troops had no chance of surviving this battle.
Is this really the case?
Just when Yu Feng and the others were less than a hundred meters away from the light cavalry, the cavalry battalion took out the hand crossbows on their waists.
The swarms of crossbow arrows instantly shattered the charging light cavalry into pieces!
York's eyes widened and he looked at the light cavalry who fell off their horses one by one in disbelief. What is this!
Why didn't Yu Feng and the others use crossbow arrows during the previous battle with the Royal Knights?
The reason is very simple. This kind of hand crossbow has insufficient penetration into the armor of the royal knights. In addition, their real target is not these heavy cavalry, but the light cavalry behind them who lack protection!
The arrow attack was unexpected, causing the galloping light cavalry to suffer a considerable blow.
However, this is not over yet.
After the crossbows, Yu Feng's cavalry battalion once again transformed into a wedge formation, and straightened the spears in their hands.
Time seems to have stopped again.
Another impact collision.
However, this situation has shocked many people.
The one-sided victory is hard to understand.
This is the inevitable result of light cavalry facing heavy cavalry head-on!
In the April War, the Central Military Army paid a bloody price and taught the world this truth: Never use light cavalry to face heavy cavalry!
Ridiculous York thought that he could fill the gap between light and heavy cavalry by relying on his numerical advantage.
At this moment when the truth came, York truly realized that the heavy cavalry was not useless. They represented the extreme of strength!
It directly penetrated the light cavalry square, but Yu Feng's cavalry did not suffer much damage!
Even the Royal Knights who were watching the battle could not believe that the heavy cavalry had such a huge advantage over the light cavalry.
In fact, many people have overlooked the most critical point for light cavalry to dominate the world, and that is the long-range means that need to be coordinated with light cavalry!
Archers are the most perfect pinnacle of light cavalry! But the light cavalry in York's hands are just light cavalry.
