The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 1342 Cossacks attack

? The muskets used by black-shirted knights are different from those used by infantry musketeers. In order to facilitate immediate use, the barrels are generally shorter, only less than 50 cm. Therefore, its range is also affected.

For this reason, in order to ensure the hit rate, the black knight had to fire at a distance of 50 steps. But even so, at a distance of 50 steps, the carbine's hit rate is less than half.

However, they also can't get too close. After all, their opponents were plate knights, the group with the highest personal martial arts in Europe. If you get too close and you are caught up accidentally, you will definitely not be able to beat your opponent.

Therefore, the general black-shirted knights will come up to pick up bargains when the plate armored knights are tired and unable to run. Because, at this time, the horses of the Plate Knights stopped. Even if the plate knight wanted to speed up, because of its own weight, it would not be able to speed up immediately. The black-shirted knight is close to the light cavalry, accelerates faster, and can escape in time.

Of course, this tactic is only useful for plate knights. If you face the opponent's light cavalry, it will have no effect. Because the opponent's light cavalry accelerated so fast that they didn't have time to escape. In addition, this move is also effective against infantry without ranged weapons. After all, the infantry would certainly not be able to catch up with them.

There were two squadrons of black-shirted knights in the front row with a total of 300 people. They took out a loaded carbine from the left leather bag, held guns in both hands, and aimed at the coalition knights on the horses who were resting...

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-"

After a burst of gunfire, about a hundred coalition knights were hit by lead bullets. The dull thud of "Bang-Bang-Bang--" was heard after their plate armor was hit by lead bullets.

Afterwards, dozens of plate armor knights were probably injured by the impact of the bullets, for example, their ribs were broken, and they fell off their horses with a groan.

Although these plate armored knights were not life-threatening because of the super protective power of plate armor, they lost their combat effectiveness because they were injured by the impact of lead bullets.

Baron Cruise's mouth widened in surprise - what tactic is this? Didn't the cavalry rush forward and cut people? How come there are still people on horseback shooting people with muskets? Sure enough... it's really rude...

...

But he didn't have time to sigh, because the black-shirted knights in the front row did not stop, but threw the fired musket into the right leather pocket on the horse's back, and then took out another one from the left leather pocket. A loaded clockwork carbine...

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-"

After a burst of gunfire,

More than 100 knights were shot again, and then dozens of knights were injured and fell off...

...

Baron Cross finally reacted - grass, it's not good to be beaten like this!

So, he loudly ordered his subordinates to charge, intending to catch up with the nun dead group of wretched bastards...

However, they had just started to accelerate, and the black-shirted knights on the opposite side also stopped firing. Then, the three hundred black-shirted knights in the front row suddenly split into two from the middle and ran to both sides. And the black-shirted knights in the back also turned their horses and started running...

In this way, the coalition knights chased in vain, and their war horses sweated even more, and had to stop and rest again...

Then, the wretched black-shirted knights leaned up again and continued to fire...

...

After tossing around a few times, Baron Cross was horrified to discover that the more than 3,000 plate knights he led had actually lost more than 500 people...

"No, I have to withdraw!"

After reacting, he immediately ordered all the allied knights to turn around and return. However, as soon as they turned around, the black-shirted knights who were the kings of wretchedness became more energetic-they bit the tails of the coalition knights, and before the five carbine ammunition ran out, they caused more than 300 wounded to the coalition knights... …

...

At this time, Charles, Earl of Geldon, who turned his eyes from the front to the back, suddenly panicked:

"I remembered that this is the most notorious cavalry hooligan in the North Sea Kingdom - the Musketeers (he doesn't know the official title of the black-shirt knight, only that there is such a troop), they are best at fighting heavy knights!"

Brunswick - Henry, Duke of Lüneburg, asked irritably:

"Is there any way to deal with them? The tactics of these cavalry are so shameless, there is no glory at all!"

Earl Geldon thought for a while and said:

"It seems that the light cavalry can be used to deal with it. The light cavalry is fast. They don't have time to stop and shoot, or even stop to reload, they can only be driven around!"

"Okay, then worry about all the light cavalry, including the reconnaissance light cavalry, to chase these shameless people!" Brunswick - Henry, Duke of Wolfenbüttel decisively ordered.

Then, in the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms and Princes, all the light cavalry, including the signal troopers, were organized, and a total of more than 4,000 light cavalry were gathered.

Afterwards, the 4,000-odd light cavalry, led by Huss, the chief guard of the palace of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg, wielded sabres and charged towards the black-shirted knights at a high speed.

...

Facing the roaring 4,000-odd enemy light cavalry, the black-shirted knight commander did not panic at all. He led his subordinates back leisurely, came to the Cossack cavalry corps that had been making soy sauce just now, found the Cossack cavalry corps commander Alsace, and waved:

"It's your turn, Lord Arthas!"

In fact, facing more than 4,000 light cavalry on the opposite side, it was not that the black-shirted knight could not fight, but it was not worth fighting.

The light cavalry on the opposite side is a miscellaneous army assembled from various countries. Some light cavalry, who were simply signal soldiers or scouts before, were not very familiar with cavalry group rushing. What's more, they are simply village sheriffs (policemen) or postmen recruited by the princes of various countries from their own countries before the war.

In the face of such miscellaneous light cavalry, even if the Montenegrin knights did not use muskets and sabers, they were not without the strength to fight.

But Durm knew - it wasn't worth it!

Although the black-shirted knights were also from commoners, they were all carefully selected. Their unique skill is to skillfully turn their guns and shoot back on the back of a galloping horse...

This skill of shooting on the back of a Mercedes-Benz horse requires a lot of talent. Therefore, Marin only selected a scale of 2,000 people, which was specially used to fight the opponent's plate knights.

If the opponent is not a plate armor knight, Marin does not allow the black shirt knight to attack casually. Unless, encountering a phalanx of infantry without long-range weapons, the black-shirt knights can go into battle.

Therefore, in Marin's eyes, these black-shirted knights who are good at "riding and shooting" belong to treasures. Since it is a baby, how can it "touch porcelain" with the tattered? Even if the black-shirted knight can defeat the more than 4,000 cavalry of the other side, he will probably suffer huge casualties. Even if he won, Marin would have skinned him afterwards.

Therefore, when Durm saw the black-shirted knight rushing towards him, he decided to throw the blame and gave the opportunity to the Cossack cavalry. Anyway, there are 5,000 Cossack cavalry, which is more than the other side. Moreover, the Cossack cavalry had practiced together for a long time and were more adapted to fighting in large regiments.

And Arthas also needed a victory to consolidate his position, so he took out the command knife and ordered loudly:

"Warriors, raise your spears and show me your courage and confidence!"

After Alsace said it once in German, he shouted it again in Kievan Russ (later Ukrainian), lest the real Ukrainian Cossacks would not understand.

After listening to Alsace's words, the German Cossacks and Ukrainian Cossacks reacted very differently——

After listening to Alsace's pre-war mobilization, the German Cossacks, who were in the minority, raised their spears and shouted in German in unison:

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

And the group of Eastern European Cossacks from the Ukrainian steppe, imitating the Crimean cavalry, suddenly screamed—

"Ouch! Kill them all!"

...

Seeing that the atmosphere was rising, Arthas didn't talk nonsense, he waved his knife directly, and shouted at the same time——

"Cossacks, charge!"

And the Cossacks who got the order rushed up with their spears and screaming...
