The one-sided battle situation really confused York.**
In his eyes, the light cavalry, which should be a match, was actually vulnerable to the heavy cavalry. The cruel reality told him that war is always a place to test the truth. [Search for the latest updates here.]
What is truth?
Survival of the fittest.
Only the stronger people can survive.
In a collision between light cavalry and heavy cavalry, only the heavy cavalry will survive, not the light cavalry.
This is not a simple difference in arms, but a conflict in war concepts.
In the era of cold weapons, better defense, more perfect offense, and more powerful momentum formed the pinnacle of the era of cold weapons, heavy cavalry!
They are the well-deserved kings of this era, the kings of charge.
Although the number of Yu Feng's cavalry battalion was only less than one-third of the opponent's, they were able to maintain almost minimal casualties during the confrontation and killed a large number of light cavalry.
York's method is wrong. That's not how light cavalry is used!
Yu Feng was not surprised that the opponent used light cavalry to fight, because in this era, the use of cavalry only focused on the two concepts of maneuver and breakthrough. They had not yet found the most suitable battlefield position for light cavalry.
In this regard, Dragon City is undoubtedly at the forefront of the times.
Relying on Zhou Yunfei's ideas, Longcheng's army spanned several eras, avoided many detours, and found the most correct way.
The First Cavalry Division was the first cavalry in the mainland born under this concept.
Although Yu Feng's cavalry battalion is not a cavalry brigade like the First Cavalry Division, it is still an elite cavalry trained in accordance with the military regulations of Longcheng. The details are true in the details. On the unpredictable and ever-changing battlefield, excellent quality can
It is the biggest prerequisite to ensure victory.
With these guarantees and the knowledge of the cavalry, the cavalry battalion had the last laugh in this battle between cavalry.
This is the huge advantage brought by the gap in concepts.
York's eyes are a little wandering now. The impact of reality has dealt an unprecedented blow to his confidence.
Looking at the frightened light cavalry around him, York's long-established belief collapsed at this moment.
That's how it is with people. When you find out that something you insisted on in the past is just a joke, you will collapse easily.
Not to mention, on the battlefield, in this hell on earth, everyone in it is tortured by inner fear all the time. York's appearance at this time can be well explained.
"Sir! Sir!" The soldiers around him called York loudly, and York's somewhat blank eyes made the cavalry around him even more panicked.
Although they still had a considerable advantage in numbers, the sudden heavy damage they suffered made everyone feel flinching.
Dong Qing's First Division will not miss this opportunity.
In the current battlefield distribution, York's thousands of cavalry were surrounded by the First Division and the cavalry battalion. Although this encirclement was a bit reluctant, the First Division took advantage of the gap between the two cavalry duels and strode forward to shorten the distance between the two sides.
distance.
As long as they enter the shooting range, one division can inflict heavy damage on these cavalry!
Yes, the second way for infantry to deal with cavalry is the crossbow!
In principle, it is impossible for infantry with short legs to defeat cavalry, because the initiative on the battlefield is always in the hands of cavalry. Infantry can only defend passively.
This explains why cavalry victory can often annihilate infantry, while infantry victory only drives away cavalry.
The natural advantages of cavalry are unmatched by infantry.
However, with the development of time, when bows and arrows came into people's sight, humans also had certain means of long-distance strikes.
The infantry can use bows and arrows to deal a certain amount of damage to the cavalry that they cannot catch up with. It is much better than standing there waiting for the cavalry to rush over. Moreover, the lethality of bows and arrows is very important to the cavalry, especially the light cavalry.
, is still very large. Therefore, bows and arrows have gradually become an important means for infantry to fight against cavalry.
In terms of the army's rich attack methods, Longcheng's army can proudly say that they are the most powerful army in the world!
That's right, every army infantry unit in Dragon City is equipped with a considerable number of long-range attack methods.
From bows and arrows to crossbows, a variety of dazzling attack methods have really brought Dragon City's army to new heights.
The First Division also has these, but due to continuous lack of logistics, they now only have a few bows and arrows.
However, as long as they are given the appropriate opportunity, these small number of attacks can also cause a considerable blow to the opponent.
Dong Qing did not expect to be able to defeat the opponent just by relying on them. This was unrealistic. His purpose was just to use these blows to force the opponent to retreat temporarily.
What he lacks now is time, because the mission of the First Division is to rush into the encirclement in the shortest time to meet the first cavalry. If he cannot defeat this cavalry here, then the First Division will never be able to take a step forward.
Yu Feng and his cavalry battalion created this opportunity. This was a fleeting opportunity. The First Division would never let go of such an opportunity.
Step by step, they gradually approached these cavalry.
Seeing the approach of a division, the Royal Knights did not panic. Because for them, no matter how powerful the infantry was, it would not cause them absolute panic. This was the morale brought about by the natural advantages of the cavalry.
Two hundred meters!
One hundred meters!
One hundred meters!
Enough, enough!
This distance is still a very safe distance for the cavalry. By the time these infantrymen run over, they may have already turned their horses and stayed away from here.
"Load the crossbow!" Dong Qing opened his eyes and roared.
Following him, the soldiers of the First Division took out the only crossbows they had. Most of these crossbows were single-shot hand crossbows commonly used by infantry. The effective range was about one hundred meters, which was just enough to give the cavalry a certain blow.
.
The crossbow arrows used by the Longcheng infantry's hand crossbows are very special. As mentioned before, this iron-clad three-sided crossbow arrow has a very strong penetration into plate armor. Coupled with the huge torque of the hand crossbow, it is enough to damage heavy armor.
of destruction.
The small number of crossbow arrows were loaded in a very short time, and then aimed at the cavalry troops in front.
"Shoot!" Dong Qing ordered again. Following his order, the soldiers holding crossbows in the team steadily fired the crossbow bolts in their hands.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Compared with the overwhelming arrow attacks of the Dragon City army in the past, this attack was undoubtedly much sparse. But it still roared towards the cavalry with a sound of piercing the air.
"Be careful!" After hearing these sounds, the soldiers of the Royal Knights subconsciously looked up at the sky.
The sky was clear, and the crossbow arrows, glowing with stars in the sunshine, were approaching at high speed.
Bang, poof.
In just a few seconds, the huge kinetic energy brought by the crossbow bolt penetrated the armor of the knights and penetrated into their bodies. At the same time, the kinetic energy brought by the crossbow bolt also caused the knights on the horse to be knocked off their horses.
The knights of the Royal Knights suffered a heavy blow from this sudden attack.
The leader of the Knights, three-year-old Leon Sam, very decisively ordered the troops to move to the left to avoid the opponent's attack.
A very wise choice, but he seemed to have forgotten that behind him were those light cavalry!
The fatal mistake was made at this moment. When the heavy cavalry of the Royal Knights moved in a roundabout way, the light cavalry were completely exposed to the strike range of the first division's crossbows!
Dong Qing smiled cruelly, "Launch!"
Another batch of crossbow bolts shot out, and this time, the results were even greater than those of the heavy cavalry.
A large number of light cavalry were defenseless against the crossbow bolts.
Screams, shouts, and panic have become the melody of the light cavalry. This is also because compared with the elite Royal Knights, most of these light cavalry that York relies on are just reserve recruits! Plus their commander, dear
Mr. York now has no time to think about anything else, so the confusion is not difficult to explain.
After several rounds of strikes, the light cavalry suffered heavy casualties. Hundreds of light cavalry fell to the ground, covering the area where the arrow was hit, and wailing in pain.
After Leon Sam withdrew, he realized his mistake. Because the light cavalry did not move with them, but stayed in place stupidly!
Before he could figure out what was going on, the light cavalry was attacked by crossbows from Longcheng.
Lyon's heart pounded, and he secretly cried out that it was bad. But it was obviously impossible to rescue these light cavalry at this moment, so he decided to use an attack to attract the opponent's attention, so that the light cavalry could take the opportunity to escape.
The idea is still good, and this obvious method of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao has some flavor in it.
Unfortunately, his idea was destined to fail.
Just as the Royal Knights adjusted their formation and prepared to charge, a loud noise came from the distance.
"Han Army!"
"mighty!"
This deafening cry caused the Royal Knights to stop and prepare to move forward.
That is?
Second division!
Yes, it is the Second Division of the First Army that is coming from a distance.
Previously, the Second Division had been chasing the First Division in front, because they knew that the First Division was now severely understaffed and they had to seize the time to catch up with the First Division.
Although they were tired from the continuous rush, their robes reminded them all the time that they had their brothers ahead of them, waiting for them!
After driving continuously day and night, we finally arrived at the battlefield at this moment!
Liu Xing, the commander of the Second Division, issued the order to attack without thinking the moment he saw the battlefield situation.
Thousands of bows and arrows, like a rain of arrows all over the sky, gave the Royal Knights a taste of what it meant to be in a situation where life was worse than death.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lyon immediately evacuated north with the thousands of participating knights, leaving behind thousands of corpses of elite cavalry and light cavalry troops waiting to surrender on the battlefield.
