The Rise of the European Emperor

? Not only were all the plate knights of the Eight Kingdoms Allied Forces wiped out, but the assembled hussars were not able to escape. Huss, the commander of the hussars of the coalition, was captured by the Cossacks after being directly cut down and dropped from his horse. Although Huss is highly skilled in martial arts, those authentic Ukrainian Cossacks are not inferior to him in the level of knives on horseback.

Of course, Huss did not use a knife, but a knight's sword, also known as a knight's straight sword. The knight sword was developed from the Viking sword, but the original Viking sword was made very heavy because of the backward smelting technology at that time. In the 16th century, with the development of iron and steel technology, the knight's sword has become "slim", and some are close to the thin sword of later generations of fencing competitions. However, because the steel technology has not yet reached the level of the 19th century, it now looks similar to an ordinary saber. The difference between the two is that the cavalry sword has one more edge.

However, the extra blade on the side is useless. Because, in the high-speed hedging process of the hussars, they can't use stabs at all, they can only use slashes. This is the same as a knight using a lance. If you use a normal spear to pierce the enemy's body, there is no chance to pull it out. Therefore, even with swords, European hussars used them as knives in high-speed charges.

As for the cavalry straight sword that was popular after the war and stabbed the opponent? Do not make jokes. Straight thrust with a cavalry sword, provided that a wall charge in a dense formation is used. Because, there is no gap around the wall charge. Moreover, a straight stab is indeed more lethal than a slash.

In addition, the most important thing to note is that the wall charge is slow, and it is no problem to use the straight sword to stab. If you charge at a high speed, you dare to stab straight... well, you don't have a hand, it is definitely broken, and after stabbing the enemy, there is no chance to pull it back, so you can only abandon the sword...

Moreover, if you use a straight sword to stab in a sparse formation, if you encounter a swordsman, you will definitely be shot out. Because, when the cavalry on both sides pass by, you only have one chance to stab, and it is easy to be dodged by the nomadic cavalry with excellent riding skills. However, the opponent's saber slashing has a wide range, but it is very difficult to dodge.

Therefore, on the premise of not using the wall charge, if you use the knight sword to stab straight, you will definitely be abused.

Therefore, in this era, even if a knight's sword was used, the hussars also used chopping. Straight thrusts are only considered when moving at low speeds.

Of course, in this era, more knight straight swords are used, mainly in Western European countries. From Hungary, as well as Eastern Europe such as Bohemia and Poland, sabres are also popular. And Germany is strange, people in the west here prefer to use the knight's sword, while in the east and southeast (near Hungary), the sabre is popular...

As for the hussars of this eight-nation feudal coalition, it is also more complicated. Many of them use knightly swords, and many use knives (mostly influenced by the Hungarians).

However, the straight knight sword is really not suitable for slashing. So, in the face of the Cossack saber,

It is not surprising that the coalition cavalry, which was a mob, was easily annihilated.

...

Not to mention the duel between the cavalry in the rear, the decisive battle between the infantry on both sides in the front was also very tragic. For the full-scale charge of the Beihai Kingdom's army, the coalition of the eight kingdoms and princes was not really afraid. Because they are more numerous and more confident.

Therefore, when the battle began, the resistance of the coalition infantry was very fierce. When the soldiers of Beihai Kingdom rushed to the front and rear of the enemy line, the veterans in the front row of the coalition force calmly lifted their spears and stabbed forward fiercely...

The coalition soldiers followed the European military habits of this era - the veterans stood at the front, and the recruits stood at the back. Therefore, the soldiers of Beihai Kingdom are facing the strongest group of veterans of the coalition army.

Therefore, at the beginning, although the spearmen of Beihai Kingdom did not lose the advantage, they did not gain the upper hand. After all, the veterans in the front row of the coalition army don't need Beihai Kingdom's soldiers at all when it comes to stabbing people with spears.

However, after poking for a while, the gap came out...

why? The difference between the two sides is mainly in equipment...

Marin was rich, so the first three platoons of North Sea country spearmen were all wearing chest plate armor and iron helmets, with high protection. The spearmen stab each other, the key is to stab the enemy's chest. When the soldiers of Beihai Kingdom wore chest plate armor, it was difficult for the enemy spearmen to make contributions. In particular, most of the soldiers of Beihai Kingdom also wear a piece of wood-chip armor similar to a mahjong mat on the outside of their breastplates, making it more difficult to be hurt by the enemy's spears.

On the other hand, on the coalition side, because only two of the 8 vassal states are richer than the Duchy of Brunswick. Therefore, most of the coalition front line infantry did not have breastplate armor.

In this way, it was a big loss - the spears of the coalition spearmen stabbed the enemy, making a dull metal crashing sound of "boom-boom-". And the spears of the Beihai Kingdom spearmen stabbed the enemy, but most of them worked very well. Except for a few elite Brunswick infantry who wore breastplates, none of them had breastplates. Once stabbed by the enemy's spear, it will definitely be killed or injured...

In this way, the stabs of the spearmen in front of the two sides seem to be evenly matched, but with the passage of time, the casualties on both sides are very different...

The veterans of the front row of the coalition, because of insufficient armor, fought less and less, and some people kept falling. On the other hand, the infantry in the front row of Beihai Kingdom, because the armor was sufficient, no one was stabbed to death on the spot. Even if they are injured, most of them are non-vital parts such as arms and legs. Although some people will withdraw from the battle, this kind of spear stab can easily be rescued in the hands of a military doctor.

...

Marin was unable to squeeze forward to participate in the mutual stab, so he paused to watch the battle on the movable vehicle-mounted arrow tower in the back of the battle. However, he could see that the enemy seemed to be still sighing, unwilling to admit defeat. After all, the eight princes sent cavalry to intercept the enemy behind the formation. If the interception is successful, then the threat from the rear of the coalition forces will be lifted, and they can also feel at ease with the enemy in front of them...

Therefore, the only belief that supports the enemy's spearmen at the moment is that they expect the cavalry in the rear to win...

However, this is not possible...

On the movable arrow tower, Marin waited for the enemy's thousands of light and heavy cavalry with his own eyes, and was planted under the cooperation of the black knights and Cossack cavalry of Beihai Kingdom...

...

Seeing that the enemy cavalry was completely wiped out, Marin took the opportunity to shout:

"The enemy cavalry is completely destroyed! Brothers, we have won!"

In fact, although the cavalry was completely destroyed, the spearmen in front of the formation have not yet admitted defeat...

But Marin shouted this voice, which directly let down most of the morale of the coalition infantry who were desperately in front of the battle!

Many people in the coalition looked back, hoping that what Marin said was a lie. It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed - the thousands of light and heavy cavalry of the coalition forces behind are indeed gone, they should have been completely destroyed by the other party...

"The cavalry is really over!" The news quickly spread in front of the enemy's formation. Then, the coalition cavalry lost their backbone, and the resistance was suddenly not as fierce as before...

Seeing that there was an opportunity, Marin shouted with his subordinates:

"Surrender without killing! Surrender without killing!"

...

As soon as these words were shouted, the coalition cavalry was indeed completely destroyed. As a result, the morale of the coalition collapsed. The coalition spearmen, who were struggling to stab each other with the Beihai army, seemed to have lost their way...

Then, as the 2,000 black-shirted knights and nearly 5,000 Cossacks ended the siege of the coalition cavalry and returned to the flank of the battlefield, the soldiers of the coalition of the eight kingdoms suddenly panicked, and their morale also collapsed...

"Run!" Some coalition soldiers saw defeat in front of them, and without thinking much, they threw their spears and fled for their lives in the gaps in the battlefield...

However, with thousands of Cossacks on the battlefield, where could they escape? But once someone takes the lead in escaping for their lives, many people follow. In the end, the main infantry of the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms and Princes, who had been doing well, collapsed in morale, and began to "flee in all directions"...
