Chapter 147 Playing Around

I have to say that although the experienced cavalry archers are very good at archery, but the cavalry bows in their hands are not very powerful. They are only a dozen meters away from the enemy and they can't shoot through some armor. Otherwise, the record is far from only so much.

Of course, there is no way to do this. In addition to the material and manufacturing process, the size of the bow body is also an important factor if the bow is to be strong. If the bow body is too short, it is obviously impossible to generate too much tension to shoot the arrow. vector.

Don't you see why the world-famous English longbowman has such great achievements? Of course, the longbows in their hands are so powerful!

In the Battle of Alcuquin, Henry V led five thousand longbowmen to defeat the French knights. This is simply a typical example of a stinky guy beating a tall, rich and handsome man. Even after thousands of years, the middle finger gesture is still widely circulated. .

But think about it, can the longbowmen have such a proud record without the weapons in their hands? The power of the longbow is needless to say, but the requirements for using a longbow are also very high.

At that time, the height of the longbowman of the British army must be more than 1.8 meters, and the king of England developed the bow and arrow sport on a large scale in England, which made all the young and middle-aged people in the country not good at archery.

Even later, the muscles and bones at the shoulders of the longbowmen who used the longbow were deformed, which shows how much force is needed to pull the longbow.

Riding a bow is not the case. Even with the aid of stirrups, it is absolutely impossible to perform complex movements on a war horse like on the ground.

What's more, bows that are too long cannot be used on horseback at all, so the bows of cavalry archers are all short bows, and it is not surprising that the arrows they shoot are not powerful enough.

Even those soldiers who were injured and died were just because they were not protected by armor like other soldiers or were directly hit by arrows.

Looking at the reckless cavalry and archers in front of him, Earl Zhebo's face was a bit ugly, but he didn't pay attention to these jumping clowns, and only caused a small amount of damage, which was still within the limits of his city. Inside.

The soldiers in the front row were terrified, but also angry in their hearts. These damned cowardly cavalry didn't dare to charge themselves at all, and could only harass them in despicable and shameless ways.

They took precautions, waiting for the two armies to vent their anger when they came into close combat.

But at this time, something that made them even more annoyed happened. The cavalry and archers who had left in the middle turned their horses and rushed towards them again.

This group of angry soldiers are gearing up, hoping to knock the enemy off the horse when the enemy rushes over.

The senior cavalry archers held short bows in their hands and drove their war horses to gallop towards them again. Everyone's eyes were only on these damned cowards, ready to meet their offensive.

But this time, the cavalry archers had to be more cautious. They rushed to a distance of more than 50 meters in front of them and began to turn their horses. At that time, another burst of arrows fell into the enemy army.

After a burst of screams sounded, they didn't stay for a moment, and left without hesitation.

As soon as they walked away, hundreds of arrows fell into their previous positions. Earl Zhebo was very annoyed by these annoying little bugs. It was obvious that the other party could not pose any threat to him, but he was against them. There is nothing they can do.

It's like a toad lying on its own feet, it doesn't bite people and it's disgusting.

Veteran cavalry archers are still very witty, they know that the enemy's archers are not far away, so they shoot at the enemy at the maximum range of the cavalry bow, so that the enemy's arrows are not very powerful even if they attack them.

These are all their tactics. As a country standing on a continent that fights endlessly all day long, they certainly have their own survival wisdom.

After all, the powerful Rhodok sniper crossbowman and Vikia marksman are both extremely powerful long-range shooters.

They didn't even rush into the scattered fire that these two units used to make the enemy so irritated.

This is their role on the battlefield. After all, the armor on their bodies is not heavy, and the scimitars in their hands are rarely used. Their task is to disrupt the enemy's formation, anger them and make them lose their minds.

Once this goal is achieved, the next thing the enemy needs to face is the Kujit Lancers who cover their bodies with iron armor and hold long-handled swords or light lances.

Such a tactic seems extremely simple, but it can make the Kujit Khanate invincible in Calradia, and even the Kingdom of Swadia, which has the strongest cavalry, is a headache for it.

It was another round of shooting, which made Earl Zhebo frowned, and he became a little impatient. These cowardly guys are really hateful. Like their master, they refused to have a decisive battle with themselves and instead used this A despicable and shameless way to irritate yourself.

Seeing the senior cavalry archers who left only a group of soldiers eating ashes, Earl Zhebo held the saber at his waist and said to a herald beside him: "Let the lords Restrain your soldiers, let's move forward as soon as possible, then these damn bugs won't be able to harass us!"

However, before his order was conveyed, the mounted archers turned back again.

Immediately afterwards, Earl Zhebo became furious, because more than 20 knights led their horsemen and rushed forward without his permission.

They could no longer bear such provocations, and for the sake of the sense of honor in their hearts, they rushed out of the formation to catch up and wipe out these damned bugs, and use their choices to wash away the shame they suffered.

The knights all had retinues, and they rushed out. Naturally, the retinues couldn't watch their master leave, so they followed suit one after another.

On the opposite side, Reiner couldn't help showing a smile on his face watching such a scene on the small high platform. It seems that the opponent's military discipline is really not flattering.

The veteran cavalry archers found that there was a group of enemies chasing them behind them, and they couldn't help but feel proud. They have encountered such situations a lot. When facing the Kingdom of Swadia, they used this method to kill and wounded many elites. The Swadian knights of continental bulldozers.

The war horses under their crotch are slightly short, and their speed is slightly slower than ordinary war horses. However, they are light-packed, and the burden on the war horses is very small, so they can throw off their horseshoes and run wildly.

What's more, one of the characteristics of grassland horses is that they are easy to feed, have rough skin and thick flesh, and have amazing endurance.

However, the horses of the knights behind have a lot of burden, not only to carry the heavy weight of the knights, but also to bear the armor on them and their own horse armor. Unburdened senior horse archers?
