Zhao Yulong was right. He dared to charge forward in the face of heavy cavalry. This kind of courage was indeed not possessed by ordinary bandits.
But no matter what the opponent's background is, he doesn't even have decent armor, so if he rushes forward, he will just hit him with an egg against a stone.
"Yulong, do it."
After hearing Qin Feng's instructions, Zhao Yulong no longer hesitated, pulled out his saber, and raised it suddenly above his head.
The fifty black knights around him faced the encirclement that had gradually formed and began to gather in the approaching enemies. Instead of showing any fear, they unloaded their bows and arrows in an orderly manner.
The nearest enemy was less than a hundred steps away from the Black Cavalry team.
"shoot!"
Zhao Yulong gave an order and suddenly waved the sword in his hand. The fifty black knights let go in unison at the same time.
Fifty arrows flew around.
In just the blink of an eye, more than thirty people were hit by arrows!
Uhri, who was directing the battle at the front, felt his scalp numb when he saw a group of brothers falling.
"What?!"
"This...is this the Black Knight's archery skills?!"
"As expected of the best among the best!"
Although Uhri was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.
Archery training of the regular army is one of the required courses. The more elite the army, the more accurate the archery. After all, arrows are never disposable consumables.
In order for arrows to be accurately shot, the production process must be extremely sophisticated, which will undoubtedly increase the cost of arrow manufacturing. As a result, any archer must hone his archery skills, strive for excellence, and strive for perfect arrows.
Troops like the Black Cavalry often charge in the most brutal battlefields, and the arrows they carry are difficult to replenish.
It is precisely for this reason that the black knight must maximize the value of arrows.
Just by talking about shooting, more than a dozen people among the thirty or so people were shot in the vital points and lost their combat effectiveness instantly.
Those brothers who screamed and wanted to tear the black knight into pieces were instantly stunned by the terrifying archery skills of the black knight, and their morale dropped instantly.
Seeing that the speed of the encirclement slowed down, Uhri dared not hesitate, and immediately shouted: "Don't be timid, all the vanguards, rush forward for me!"
"Archer cover!"
More than a hundred archers attacked the black knight from the outside.
Since the targets of the black knights are large, even archers without special training can still hit them.
There was a clanking sound, but not a single black knight was shot off his horse, and even their body shapes did not change in any way.
These poorly made arrows, let alone the heavy armor of the black knight, could not even be inserted into it.
An arrowhead that seriously lacks the ability to penetrate armor has only one result when faced with a well-made armor piece with a smooth surface and a slight curvature, and that is to be directly bounced away.
Ding ding ding!
The arrows hit the black knight one after another, leaving small pits on the black knight's armor, as if they were bitten by mosquitoes.
The black cavalry fought back in an orderly manner. Although they used horse bows, their bow power was no less than a "medium-force walking bow", coupled with armor-piercing arrows.
Once these thieves who lack basic protection capabilities are shot, they will either roll on the ground in pain or lose their combat effectiveness on the spot.
When the vanguard rushed to the black cavalry formation, nearly eighty people were already shot over by the black cavalry.
Looking at the enemy rushing in front of him, Zhao Yulong raised his sword again: "Defend the enemy!"
As soon as the words fell, the black knights on the outside of the formation put away their bows and arrows and took off their horses. When the first enemy rushed in front of them, the black knights just raised their horses and stabbed it with quick eyes and hands, directly piercing the enemy's chest.
More and more enemies roared and rushed towards the Black Cavalry, but facing the Black Cavalry's Ma Shu, they could not even break through the first line of defense.
People kept falling in a pool of blood.
Seeing this, Ukhli shouted: "Attack his horse!"
After hearing the order, the soldiers immediately changed their targets and stabbed the horses with their spears.
When the extremely sharp spear struck the war horse, in addition to sparks, there was also a crisp sound.
The spear tip is made of iron and is naturally not easily damaged, but the same cannot be said for the poorly made spear shaft.
The harder you use it, the easier it is to break.
Moreover, light infantry attacking heavy cavalry is simply a suicidal attack.
Even if they stabbed the horse's leg, the black knight would kill them before they could even aim at the target.
Uhli's frown deepened. This battle was far from going as he expected.
At first, he thought that even if the black knight's heavy armor was strong, attacking the war horse would consume the black knight's strength. However, the result was... the opponent was not a target that could only be beaten.
On the contrary, the black knights wearing heavy armor are all sturdy men. Even though the armor is thick, they are still extremely flexible relying on their abnormal strength.
Taking advantage of the horse's length, it is often possible to kill the enemy before the horse is attacked.
After repeated attacks by the brothers, a black knight was finally stabbed down by five or six spears.
The black knight fell off his horse. Just as everyone was about to rush forward, they were stopped by the black knight next to him.
At the same time, the black knight who fell to the ground was not in a hurry to climb on his horse.
It wasn't until the black knight dropped his horse, pulled out his sword from his waist, took two steps forward, faced the oncoming spear, and slashed the enemy in front of him to death that everyone finally came to their senses.
Even without the horses, these black cavalry... are still heavy infantry!
A total of five hundred people, more than half of whom were dead or injured, could not even break through the Black Cavalry's defense line, and not even a single Black Cavalry was killed.
This kind of offensive is almost like a moth flying into a flame, and even Uhri feels desperate.
"The gap is really too big..."
At this moment, Chang Cheng, who was watching from a distance, saw that the battle was not going well, and immediately led the remaining three hundred brothers with Raymond to come for support.
Under the cover of his confidants, Chang Cheng rushed to Uhli's side and shouted: "Brother! If we organized heavy infantry defense, we might be able to severely damage the black cavalry, but now the situation is just the opposite."
"We lack armor and armor-piercing weapons. Instead, we attack the Black Cavalry's solid defense line and use our shortcomings to attack the other's strengths. This is the next strategy."
Uhli's eyes were helpless. He had long known that if he wanted to eliminate the Black Riders, he would have to pay a heavy price.
I just feel that my side has an absolute advantage in numbers, and the number of people can make up for the gap in equipment.
Unfortunately, the advantage of the Black Cavalry is not only armor, but also combat experience and excellent command.
"The wealthy clan in the south asked us to ambush Qin Feng here, but they didn't even give us decent weapons. How are we going to fight? Can we just let the brothers go up and fight for their lives?"
Wu Heli couldn't bear to see his brothers die in vain. Just when he was about to order a retreat, Chen Yanzong unexpectedly charged at the Black Cavalry with a spear in hand.
