The Rise of the European Emperor

? Without speed, the light cavalry of these eight-nation princes coalition forces, in front of the old Ukrainian Cossacks, are no different from lambs to be slaughtered. What's more, the number of Cossack cavalry was absolutely dominant.

As a result, the remaining 2,000-odd Allied light cavalry were quickly routed by the Cossacks and fled in all directions. At this time, the black-shirted knights finally caught up with the plate armored knights, relying on the advantage of going into battle lightly.

But this time, Durm gave a very different order:

"Shoot the horse! Shoot the horse!" In order to win, Durm didn't care about the preciousness of those war horses.

Generally speaking, in this era, a good knight warhorse can be sold for dozens or hundreds of gold coins. Therefore, in battle, war horses are very precious trophies. In the previous confrontation, the black-shirted knights would rather shoot knights with small targets than shoot war horses.

But it is different now. At such a critical juncture, victory is the only pursuit. For a musket with a low hit rate, it is easier to block the enemy by shooting the enemy's warhorse.

So, this time, the black-shirted knights aimed directly at the warhorse with a much larger target...

"Boom-boom-boom-" after a burst of carbines. What followed was a "Yu-Yu--" warhorse whine.

"What?" Baron Cross, who was leading the charge of the allied plate armor knights, was taken aback. Because this kind of behavior of beating horses without beating people is too rare in Europe.

Because most of the European aristocrats owe countless debts to the poor. Therefore, the wealth is very important. And the war horse is undoubtedly one of the top wealth after the land. For ordinary poor nobles, they would rather kill each other's knights than let their war horses be harmed. Because if he captured a group of war horses, he would make a fortune. Just as when Marin started his business, he relied on the thousands of war horses captured from French knights, and all of a sudden they developed, and they had the capital to recruit troops and buy horses.

Therefore, the behavior of the black-shirted knights shooting the horses, in the view of Baron Cross, is simply deviant and very different from ordinary people.

But he didn't know that Marin was a Chinese soul and had recited Tang poetry since he was a child. The phrase "shoot a man first shoot a horse, capture a thief first capture the king" is really impressive. So, Marin came up with this tactic when training the Black Shirts before.

Of course, Marin also took into account the preciousness of war horses. Therefore, he once gave an order - under normal circumstances, beat people and not horses, after all, war horses are precious trophies. However, if the situation is urgent, kill the horse first...

And right now, it's such an "emergency" moment. In order to ensure that the sparsely formed Third Army would not be overrun by the opposing knights,

The black-shirted knight immediately started emergency mode, giving priority to killing horses.

The death of a warhorse is different from that of a knight being knocked off his horse. The dismounting of the knight does not affect the charge of the cavalry. Instead, a fallen knight will be trampled by his comrade's horse.

However, the war horse is so big. Even if he dies, he is still a small mountain of meat. Therefore, after the war horses of a group of coalition knights fell, not only did the knights on their horses fly, but they also created roadblocks for the war horses behind... In particular, the war horses dedicated to European knights were all tall horses. Even if they fell to the ground, it would still be a big lump... Moreover, these knights and warhorses are still covered with hard horse armor, which is a very solid "barrier" and is difficult to tread...

Then, in order to avoid these small meat mountain-like roadblocks, the charging speed of the coalition knights slowed down significantly. At the same time, most of the unfortunate coalition knights who were thrown off their horses were not able to escape the trampling of their comrades' horses.

Even if they wore plate armor, the horses carrying knights and heavy armor weighed close to a ton. Such a heavy combat unit, even if each hoof is only a quarter of its body weight, can trample a knight in plate armor...

Also, the Black Knights have more than one carbine - they have five...

At the same time, in order to increase the accuracy, and the allied knights are rushing forward, these bold black-shirted knights directly mounted their horses and opened fire at very close places, greatly improving the hit rate...

When the five rounds of shooting were completed, more than 2,000 allied plate knights fell directly halfway. Moreover, the war horses that were frequently fallen down slowed down their charge speed.

Although these 5 rounds of shooting did not completely wipe out the Allied Plate Knights, they also greatly hindered their charge. The plate armored knights were slow to charge in the first place, but after being disturbed like this, the speed was even slower.

Then, that gave the Third Legion plenty of time to deal with...

...

"Stop the charge! Move closer! Move toward the center!" Steindorf shouted loudly on the battlefield with a dirt horn. And his messengers (specially selected loud voices) also shouted:

"The commander of the army has an order, stop the charge, and move closer to the center! Move closer to the center!"

Then, the 3rd Legion infantry, mostly veterans, stopped the charge obediently, and moved closer to the center...

"The spearman is ahead! Squat on the ground, insert the tail of the spear into the soil, and move forward at a 45-degree angle!" Steindorf continued to shout.

Then, in his loud voice, the messengers also repeatedly shouted:

"The spearman is in front! Squat on the ground, insert the tail of the spear into the soil, and move forward at a 45-degree angle!"

"The spearman is in front! Squat on the ground, insert the tail of the spear into the soil, and move forward at a 45-degree angle!"

...

The spearmen in the front row quickly followed suit. They crouched down and inserted the ends of their spears into the dirt. The spearhead is 45 diagonally upward and forward.

The tail of the spear is inserted into the soil, so that when the enemy knight collides, the powerful impact will be transmitted to the ground by the spear without hurting the spearman himself. As for why they crouched down, it was because the plate knights had a higher level of lances. If you stand up, it is easy to be stabbed by a lance. Squatting down greatly increases the difficulty of stabbing the opponent's knights and improves the survival rate...

...

Just after the 3rd Corps completed the formation, the remaining more than a thousand people of the coalition plate armor knights also rushed to the front of the 3rd Corps. However, after previous delays, the 3rd Corps is now not the loose formation it was originally. Now, the allied knights encounter "a wall", a wall of death made of spears...

Of course, this "death" is not for the knight, but for the warhorse...

The spears of these 45-degree forward spears could not pierce the knight sitting high on the horseback, just facing the chest of the warhorse...

Although the war horse also wears horse armor, the protection power of horse armor is not as good as that of plate armor. Because if the horse armor is made of plate armor, the movement and running of the war horse will be inconvenient. Therefore, the horse armor of the war horse is often similar to the armor, or the chain armor, rather than the whole plate armor.

Therefore, when the allied knights collided, many of the warhorses were pierced through their chests, sending out bursts of lamentation. Even if the warhorse that happened to be stabbed in the armored iron piece collided with the spear whose end was inserted into the ground, even if the spear was broken, it would not feel good. The point is, have to stop...

In this way, the fierce charge of the coalition knights was stopped by the spear formation that the Swiss were good at...

Also, the spearmen in the back row are not vegetarian. Seeing that some of the spears in the front row failed to injure the enemy's horses, the spearmen in the back row immediately stepped forward with their spears several meters long, dashing towards the unprotected front legs of the horses...

This time, the warhorse couldn't take it anymore. Generally speaking, in order not to affect the running of the war horse, the four legs of the war horse are not armored. Otherwise, the horse's legs would be difficult to move.

Now, the war horse was forced to stop by the spear formation, and the two front legs of the war horse were just exposed in front of the spearman. Therefore, the spearmen in the front row did not hesitate to stab the two legs of the horses that were not pierced through their chests. Under such an attack, the warhorse was immediately startled. And some war horses, after being stabbed in the leg, people turned on their backs...

Whether it was the warhorse that was pierced in the chest before, or the warhorse that was stabbed in the front legs later, the knights on their horses were all thrown off by the pained warhorses and fell to the ground...

When Steindorf saw it, he immediately shouted:

"Warhammers, go! Beat them to death!"

Then, a group of fighters with sledgehammers from migrant workers rushed to the front of the battle from the side, and slammed the coalition knights who had just fallen off their horses and were still in a daze. Moreover, these people are very chicken thieves, and they specially use hammers to smash the limbs of those knights. Even if those knights were not crushed to death and their limbs were beaten, they would not regain their combat power within a certain period of time... Occasionally, a few knights who stood up and resisted were soon smashed and lay down...

After a fierce confrontation, more than a thousand allied knights rushed to the front of the Third Army, and suddenly only three or four hundred people remained intact. But at this time, they also have no fighting spirit. Because they couldn't break through the spear formation in front of them at all.

In addition, the 2000 black-shirted knights who had run away to reload the ammunition also surrounded them and aimed the carbine loaded in their hands at them...

"Surrender!" Durm yelled.

Afterwards, all the black knights shouted together:

"Surrender without killing!"

Seeing that if he did not surrender, he might be shot and killed on the spot. Baron Cross reluctantly led the remaining three or four hundred intact coalition knights to surrender:

"I surrender, I demand noble treatment!"

Durm nodded:

"No problem, follow the rules!"

In this way, the 3,000 plate knights and more than 4,000 hussars put together by the coalition of the eight kingdoms and princes were completely wiped out...
