The muskets used by the Black-shirt Knights are different from those used by infantry musketeers. In order to facilitate immediate use, the barrel is generally short, less than 50 cm. Therefore, its range is also affected.
For this reason, in order to ensure the hit rate, the Black-shirt Knight had to fire at a distance of 50 steps. But even so, the hit rate of the carbine was less than half at a distance of 50 steps.
However, they cannot get too close. After all, their opponent is the Plate Knight, the group with the highest individual martial arts skills in Europe. If they are too close and are accidentally caught up, they will definitely not be able to beat their opponents.
Therefore, generally, the black-shirt knights will come up to get the bargain when the horses of the plate armored knights are tired and unable to run. Because at this time, the horses of the plate armored knights stop. Even if the plate armored knights want to accelerate, they will not immediately get up due to their own weight. The black-shirt knights approach the light cavalry and accelerate faster and can escape in time.
Of course, this tactic is only useful for plate-armored knights. If it is facing the opponent's light cavalry, it will be useless. Because the opponent's light cavalry accelerates quickly, they don't have time to escape. In addition, this move is also effective against infantry without ranged weapons. After all, infantry will definitely not be able to catch up with them.
The black-shirt Knights in the front row had two squadrons of 300 people. They took out a loaded carbine from their bags on the left, held guns in both hands, and aimed at the coalition knights on the resting horse...
"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-
After a dense gunfire, about one hundred coalition knights were hit by lead bullets. After the plate armor on their bodies was hit by lead bullets, they made a dull collision sound of "Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang.
Then, dozens of plate-armored knights were probably injured due to the impact of the bullets, such as the broken ribs, and they all fell from the horse's back with a humming hum.
Although these Plate Armor Knights who were shot were not in danger of life because of the super protective power of Plate Armor, they also lost their combat effectiveness due to being injured by the impact of lead bullets.
Baron Cruise grew up in surprise - what tactic is this? Didn’t the cavalry rushed forward and chop people? Why were there anyone riding on horseback and shooting people with muskets? Sure enough... it was really despicable...
...
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 bag on the horse's back, and then took out another loaded clockwork ignition carbine from the left leather bag...
"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-
After a gunshot, more than one hundred knights were shot, and then dozens of knights were injured and dropped...
...
Baron Cross finally reacted - Cao, it's not OK to be beaten like this!
So, he ordered his subordinates to charge, intending to chase after this group of vulgar ones...
However, they had just started to accelerate, and the black-shirt knights on the opposite side also stopped shooting. Then, the three hundred black-shirt knights in the front row suddenly split into two strands from the middle and ran to both sides. The black-shirt knights behind also turned their horses and started running...
In this way, the coalition knights chased for nothing, and their war horses sweated more, and they had to stop and rest again...
Then, the wretched black-shirt knights leaned forward and continued to fire...
...
After a few times of hard work, Baron Cross discovered in horror that more than 3,000 plate-armored knights he led had actually lost more than 500 people...
"No, I have to withdraw!"
After reacting, he immediately ordered all the coalition knights to turn around and return. However, when they turned around, the black-shirt knights who were slutty as kings became even more energetic - they bit the tail of the coalition knights tightly, and before the five carbine ammunition was fired, they created more than 300 wounded soldiers for the coalition knights...
...
At this time, Charlie, Earl of Gelden, who turned his gaze from the front to the back, suddenly said in horror:
"I remembered that this is the most notorious cavalry hooligan in the North Sea Kingdom - the muslan cavalry (he didn't know the official title of the Black-shirt Knight, but only knew that there was such a military branch). They were the best at fighting heavy-armed knights!"
And Henry, Duke of Lüneburg, asked irritably:
"Is there any way to deal with them? The tactics of these cavalry are too shameless and have no glory at all!"
Charlie thought about it and said:
"It seems that 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 and load, so they can only be chased and run around!"
"Okay, then hurry up and worry about all the light cavalry, including those used for reconnaissance, to pursue these shameless people!" Henry, Duke of Wolfenbitel, ordered decisively.
Then, in the coalition of the eight-nation princes, all the light cavalry, even the communication soldiers, were organized, and a total of more than 4,000 light cavalry were gathered.
Then, the more than 4,000 light cavalry, led by Hus, the head of the court guard of the Duchy of Lüneburg, Brunswick, waved their sabers and accelerated toward the black-shirted knights.
...
Facing the roaring 4,000 enemy light cavalry, the Black-shirt Knight Commander was not panicked at all. He took his subordinates leisurely back and came to the side of the Cossack Cavalry Legion, which had been playing soybeans just now. He found the commander of the Cossack Cavalry Legion, Alsace, and waved:
"It's your turn, Lord Alsace!"
In fact, facing more than 4,000 light cavalry on the opposite side, the black-shirted knight is not impossible to fight, but is not worth fighting.
The light cavalry opposite is a miscellaneous army pieced together by various countries. Some light cavalry were communication soldiers or scouts before, and were not very familiar with cavalry group charges. What's more, they were simply rural sheriffs (police) or postman recruited from their own countries by the princes of various countries before the war.
Faced with such miscellaneous light cavalry, even if the Black Mountain Knights do not use muskets or sabers alone, they are not without the power to fight.
But Dulm knows-that's not worth it!
Although the black-shirted knights are all from civilians, they are also carefully selected. Their unique skill is to skillfully put guns on the back of a Mercedes-Benz horse and shoot back...
This kind of shooting skills on the back of a Mercedes-Benz horse requires talent. Therefore, Marin only selected a scale of 2,000 people, specifically used to attack the opponent's plate-armored knights.
If the opponent is not a plate-armored knight, Marin will not allow the Black-shirt Knight to attack at all. Unless he encounters an infantry phalanx without long-range weapons, the Black-shirt Knight can only go into battle.
Therefore, in Marin's eyes, these black-shirt knights who are good at "riding and shooting" are treasures. Since they are treasures, how can they "fight" with tatters? Even if the black-shirt knights can defeat more than 4,000 miscellaneous cavalry on the other side, there will be huge casualties. Even if they win, Marin will peel him off afterwards.
Therefore, when Durm saw the black-shirted knights rushing over, he decisively turned the blame and gave the opportunity to the Cossack cavalry. Anyway, there were 5,000 Cossack cavalry, which was already more than the opponent. Moreover, the Cossack cavalry had been practicing together for a long time and was more adaptable to large-scale combat.
Alsace also needs a victory to consolidate his position, so he pulled out his command knife and ordered loudly:
"Warriors, raise your spears and let me see your courage and confidence!"
After Alsace spoke it in German, he shouted it in Kievan Russ (later Ukrainian) so that the authentic Ukrainian Cossacks would not understand it.
After listening to Artsas' words, the reactions of the German Cossacks and the Ukrainian Cossacks were completely different.
The German Cossacks, which accounted for the minority, raised their spears and shouted in German in unison:
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
And the Eastern European Cossacks from the Ukrainian prairie followed the style of the Crimean cavalry and suddenly howled and screamed.
"Aowoo! Kill them all!"
...
Seeing that the atmosphere was coming, Alsace didn't talk nonsense, waved his knife down and shouted—
"Cossack, charge!"
Chapter completed!
