"The musketeers follow closely behind the cavalry. As soon as the cavalry breaks through the local shield army's line, they will immediately cooperate with the cavalry to tear apart the British line!"
"yes!"
The cavalry and infantry in position three quickly attacked under the cover of the cavalry and infantry.
French infantry armed with lances fought alongside the British troops attacking from the right.
Both sides used spears and were not protected by shield soldiers. The fighting was very cruel.
Captain Green was calm and unfazed when he saw this scene. Now the sneak attack of their British army was resisted by the French army.
The cavalry coming out of position three became their biggest threat.
Behind the shield soldiers is a large British force, and the defense that the shield soldiers have built up with great difficulty must not be broken.
"Musketeers, shoot!" Captain Green shouted coldly and immediately issued the order.
The British Musketeers have some of the best muskets in the world and are extremely powerful!
The range is also long, and the horses of the cavalry cannot withstand a few rounds of powerful muskets.
But there is a problem with muskets, that is, the current muskets can only attack once every five minutes.
Reloading takes too long!
Under normal circumstances, there are very few opportunities to give you five minutes of free time in a battle, so the Musketeers will only be used as a last resort.
Bang bang bang!!!
After a round of musket fire, the French cavalry fell to pieces, but there were still countless charging French cavalry.
These cavalrymen are not holding spears, but crossbows!
Crossbow Cavalry!
Because of the invention of the stirrup, the cavalry's legs had a place to exert their strength, and highly skilled cavalry could control horses without using their hands at all.
It took less than five minutes, a distance of 300 meters, and without interference, the cavalry would not have taken such a long time.
Three hundred meters, arriving in an instant!
Prancing horse, drawing bow and arrow!
Shooting arrows at close range can cause the greatest damage, and can even be more powerful than a musket. One arrow can penetrate a cast iron shield!
However, this requires hard practice, and even ten years of practice will not lead to this level.
But these French cavalry seem to have such ability.
An arrow shot through the iron shield, and the leaping horse flew past. The three-layer shield soldiers were within the attack range, and the horse flew away.
Some of the arrows pierced through the iron shields oozed bright red.
The three-layer shield soldiers suffered a lot of losses under the attack of this wave of cavalry and archers. As for the musketeers, after they left in style, the fastest musketeers assembled their ammunition.
When Captain Green saw this scene, his eyes were splitting with hatred.
Their British cavalry was very poor and could not compete with the French cavalry, otherwise the war would have been so passive.
Originally, these shield soldiers were developed to target the French cavalry, but unexpectedly the French did not use artillery.
Just use cavalry and archers like this to deal damage to the opponent.
They in Britain don't have any solution yet.
Although Captain Green was angry, he did not lose his mind. He immediately ordered the musketeers not to fire in order to defend against the sudden cavalry archers.
At this point, the battle between the two sides has entered a fierce stage. In the camp at position three, the general looked calm, although the battle situation was not favorable for them.
But he didn't panic at all.
Nearly an hour had passed since the fight. He sneered, and support from the second position would arrive soon.
