On the bright moonlight of the Morsheim Plains, the Tynal heavy cavalry did not care why the light cavalry on the opposite side did not run. At this moment, they only wanted to kill the group of farmers in front of them.
"He's here." Nangong Xiao, who was in the light cavalry team, said to Lim, who was beside him, as he watched a thousand-strong Tynal heavy cavalry slowly accelerate in the distance.
"Limuge, let the brothers prepare.”
"Yes." " Understood!" Lim replied straightforwardly and went down to carry out the order.
Soon, the five hundred Light Cavalry of Wright Meliz, who were flying the flag of Arthas, all drew their bows. When the Tynal Heavy Cavalry entered the shooting range, Nangong Xiao waved his hand to signal them to shoot.
Swoosh!
Five hundred sharp arrows pierced through the sky and soon fell into the ranks of the Tynal heavy cavalry. For a moment, screams and howls could be heard everywhere.
However, they did not really kill much. At most, they killed or injured 30 to 40 knights. Their efficiency was really not very high.
However, there was nothing they could do about it. Most of the Light Cavalry in Wright Meitz were infantry. There were very few people who could ride and shoot. It was the first time for many people, so there was no need to expect accuracy.
It was a pity that Nangong Xiao did not have the time to train this archer cavalry. Otherwise, the effect of the volley just now would have been even more obvious.
After the first round of shooting, Nangong Xiao signaled for the second round of shooting.
After taking away another 30 to 40 Tynal heavy cavalry, Nangong Xiao signaled for them to retreat to the first horse exchange point.
When the general of the Tynal Heavy Cavalry saw Nangong Xiao's 500 light cavalry turn around and flee, he was so angry that he repeatedly shouted for his subordinates to chase after them and kill them all.
The only advantage of the heavy cavalry was that they were more mobile than the infantry and had the ability to break through formations. However, long-distance attacks were not their forte.
Therefore, when the Tynal heavy cavalry chased after them, Nangong Xiao had his troops maintain a distance from the enemy. At the same time, he kept turning around and shooting arrows. The Tynal heavy cavalry could not catch up with the light cavalry, so one chased and the other ran. Then, they kept attacking with bows and arrows. From time to time, a small group of heavy cavalry fell, causing the Tynal heavy cavalry to suffer for a while. Soon, they even suffered heavy casualties.
After running for four to five kilometers, the general of the Tynal Heavy Cavalry did not dare to chase after them anymore, because he had actually lost more than three hundred men in the pursuit just now.
One had to know that he had only brought a thousand cavalrymen out of the formation. Now, it was good. This despicable Arthian cavalryman in front of them did not fight. He only knew how to escape. When he escaped, he kept turning around and attacking with his bow and arrows. This despicable behavior made all the Tynal heavy cavalrymen extremely angry but helpless.
The most important thing was that they could not catch up now, and the horses 'stamina had reached a critical point. It was not a good idea to continue chasing. In the end, the general of the Tynal heavy cavalry could only order a retreat. They had to retreat to their own formation first.
As soon as the Tynal Heavy Cavalry retreated, Nangong Xiao and the others were not in a hurry to chase after them. Instead, they let the troops quickly go to the first horse changing point. After getting everyone to change their horses with full stamina, they left more than ten knights to rush the exhausted horses to the next horse changing point to wait for orders. He then led the more than four hundred cavalrymen who had changed their horses to chase after the Tynal Heavy Cavalry.
Tynal Cavalry were heavy cavalry, after all. They would not run at full speed unless it was a battle. After all, the horses had limited stamina when carrying a heavily armored knight.
Therefore, Nangong Xiao's light cavalry quickly caught up after changing horses. Of course, they did not fight head-on after catching up. Instead, they continued to use bows and arrows to launch long-range attacks.
When the general of the Tynal heavy cavalry saw that the enemy had returned, and that they were fighting like a cat playing with a mouse, he was instantly furious. However, the moment he turned his horse around, the enemy actually ran away again, causing the Tynal heavy cavalry to curse in anger.
Even so, the heavy cavalry quickly calmed down and saw through the enemy's intentions. They quickly ordered to ignore the enemy's harassment and retreat to their own formation.
Nangong Xiao, who was leading the light cavalry to shoot arrows, smiled when he saw the enemy's reaction." I didn't expect the enemy to have someone who understood. Unfortunately, since we left the protection of the infantry, we can forget about returning so easily."”
"That's right, I think the enemy cavalry commander must be vomiting blood right now.”Irene, who had been following Nangong Xiao as a temporary guard, also spoke up," Although this tactic looks despicable, it's very practical and unsolvable. Unless the enemy uses the same tactic and uses light cavalry to deal with us, they won't be able to do anything to us.
Nangong, just like you said, this tactic will open up a new chapter in cavalry tactics.”
"Probably." Nangong Xiao smiled and said loudly," Brothers, it's time for us to send off our enemies!!”
"Oh!"
The 500 Light Cavalry of Wright Melitz were in high spirits at this time, and their prejudice against Nangong Xiao had also gradually decreased to the lowest point. After all, before this, these soldiers who did not have a long-term vision had mostly expressed doubts about this tactic and Nangong Xiao's identity. Although they were willing to die for the Feudal Lord, they were not willing to die for no reason under the leadership of this prisoner of Brunai. Most of them were very dissatisfied and unwilling. The results of these few attacks had completely strengthened the confidence of the light cavalry in this set of tactics. At the same time, it also made these light cavalry more convinced of Nangong Xiao.
Seeing the soldiers with high morale follow Nangong Xiao to continue chasing after the Tynal heavy cavalry, Lim, who was beside Irene, had mixed feelings.
She could see that Nangong Xiao's prestige among the soldiers was constantly increasing. As a former enemy and an outsider whose identity was now unknown, Nangong Xiao's prestige among the soldiers had increased, which was not what Lim wanted to see. Although it certainly could not threaten her master's status, it was also a dangerous signal.
But when Lim looked at her master, Irene, she felt helpless.
It seemed that her master trusted this mysterious fellow very much. This gave her a headache, but she was helpless.
Now, he could only hope that this guy who had no noble consciousness did not have any bad intentions.
The Tynal heavy cavalry who were being chased by the light cavalry were in a miserable state. They couldn't run away, and the light cavalry behind them were like flies, constantly harassing them. Looking at the knights who fell under the rain of arrows from time to time, the Tynal heavy cavalry general was furious and led his equally furious subordinates to chase away the Wright Meliz cavalry. However, when the heavy cavalry turned around, the enemy ran away again.
However, they did not run completely. They still used the same method of running while turning around and shooting, causing the Tynal heavy cavalry to collapse.
This went on and on. When the Tynal heavy cavalry returned to their formation, they found that there were only 500 of them left!
"What did you say? You were defeated by a group of farmers who didn't even have armor?!”In the main formation of the Tynal army, the general, Saan, looked at the heavily armored cavalry general kneeling in front of him, looking extremely disheveled, and exclaimed in disbelief.
" General…General…Despicable Arthans don't have any chivalry at all. They only know how to use bows and arrows to ambush us…"
"I don't want to listen to your nonsense! Useless thing!" Sa 'an did not listen to the other party's explanation at all. He had lost more than 400 cavalrymen in the first round, which made Sa' an completely furious.
But at this moment, an adjutant shouted," Enemy attack!!”
Under the bright moonlight, the three hundred light cavalry carrying the Arthas flag appeared in front of Tynal's army again.
Sa 'an was furious when he saw this. He shouted repeatedly," Go, go! Kill them all!"
When the adjutant heard this, he quickly responded and loudly ordered," Get into formation! Formation! Archers, step forward! Cavalry, take the formation!"
However, just as the formation was completed, the enemy had already begun to charge. However, they didn't charge straight in, but instead circled around the formation. At the same time, they continuously sent arrows into Tynal's formation. In an instant, Tynal's infantrymen suffered heavy casualties.
When Tyner's heavy cavalry came out, the enemy light cavalry retreated in another direction.
Seeing this, Sa 'an gritted his teeth and ordered the cavalry to chase after him.
" General, General…we can't chase after them…" The heavy cavalry general from before was rather knowledgeable and quickly said," The enemy is trying to…"
"Shut up! Chase! Kill those farmers!"
"Yes!" Helpless, the heavy cavalry general could only lead the remaining hundred and eight heavy cavalry in pursuit.
However, as soon as Tyner's heavy cavalry left, another 200 Arthas light cavalry charged towards their formation from another direction. After another round of shooting, Tyner's formation was covered with dozens of corpses before they calmly retreated.
"Despicable Arthans!”Seeing the Arthans leave safely, Sa 'an cursed angrily.
The adjutant beside him also had a drastic change in expression. He hurriedly stepped forward and said," General, please ask the cavalry to come back. I'm afraid…"
Before he could finish speaking, there were flames and shouts coming from the rear, and for a moment, the supplies of the Tynal army were in chaos.
" What's going on?!" Sa 'an was also shocked by the shouts and screams.
"Report! The logistics team was attacked by the Arthian Cavalry! Requesting backup!"
" What?!" Sa 'an became even angrier when he heard that. However, the cavalry was not around. He only needed to ask some of the infantry in the front army to retreat and save the supply team.
However, just as the infantry retreated, the 200 Arthian cavalrymen who had just left appeared again. This time, they did not seem to intend to run away immediately. Instead, they ran around the field and fired, causing the 1,000 infantry soldiers in formation to suffer. The infantry archers had no better way to deal with such a situation, especially when the longbows of both sides had similar ranges. The enemy had the mobility of horses. As long as they were not in the same position and fired at a fixed point, the archers 'projectiles were useless.
Just like that, Tynal's infantry formation was slowly being eaten up, causing Saan to become extremely furious and terrified. He hurriedly called for the cavalry to come back while shrinking the formation.
When the Tynal heavy cavalry rushed back, the 200 light cavalry who had been constantly harassing them all retreated, and the 100 Arthas light cavalry who had been harassing the supplies also retreated safely after burning most of the armaments.
After another round of counting, more than half of the 3,000-strong army had been lost. Not only that, but more than half of the supplies had also been burned. Now, let alone attacking Arthas City, even supplies were a problem.
Such a loss caused Sa 'an to be completely terrified. The expressions of the adjutants and deputy generals were also abnormally ugly.
