The Jueying Knights are between light and heavy cavalry. They have very strong mobility. The knights are all fully armed, equipped with chainmail, black blouses, knight guns and swords. The important parts of the war horses are also protected by iron sheets.
.
Their combat method is to advance in a wave formation, which is very lethal to infantry. Unfortunately, all bandits are infantry.
Paul, the leader of the Jueying Knights, led the cavalry regiment into two teams. Instead of directly attacking the bandits' frontal troops, they attacked the bandits' flanks at an angle.
The bandits' camp was quite loose, and the two wings were even more unorganized and undisciplined. Facing a larger-scale cavalry charge, it was difficult for them to resist with only their momentary courage.
"Put down the spear..."
With an order, the knights in a wave formation raised their knight lances together and rushed into the two wings of the bandits at high speed.
The knight's spear pierced the chest of the bandits, sending them flying one by one. The horses' hooves trampled over them, and the ground was full of desperate wails.
The two waves of cavalry did not charge in a straight line, but turned around midway, like digging a spoon into the cheese, eating a piece of the bandit's wings before leaving.
Without any plan, the bandits immediately split into two waves and chased the leaving cavalry with two legs.
The cavalrymen turned their horses again, rushed towards the bandits' flanks, and ate them up one by one.
The bald man among the bandits immediately had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. They were just fighting back and forth. The knights did not suffer many casualties, but the bandits suffered heavy losses.
Of the more than 10,000 troops, only about 7,000 were left at this time.
He quickly found other large bandit leaders to discuss strategies.
In the sky, Qin Feng, who had seen the entire battlefield in his eyes, shook his head slightly, "The Jueying Knights are indeed an elite force created by Salamanda. At this speed, the bandits will collapse soon."
And once it collapses, what those bandits will face is a massacre without any suspense.
"It's a pity that I originally wanted to consume these elite cavalry."
"Huh?" He suddenly caught a flash of red in the corner of his eyes, turned his head and looked, and another team wearing red armor appeared in Qin Feng's sight.
"A person from the Crane Country?"
The leader was Qin Feng's old acquaintance, Ryosuke Kawakami who had done business with Mist Town.
There were more red-armored warriors following him, and their weapons even included matchlock guns.
Those warriors noticed the war scene here from afar. They found a hillside to hide behind and carefully observed the situation here.
At this time, Qin Feng discovered something else. Three waves of bandits broke away from the large army and rushed straight into the woods at the rear. The number was about 3,000.
As they left, the remaining bandits were in disarray. The Jueying Knights no longer bothered to use tactics, and rushed directly into the bandits scattered like beans, dragging a net to kill them.
Groups of bandits fled in panic. As a result, rows of them were knocked away by war horses and decapitated with sharp swords.
Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Qin Feng is ready to cause trouble to the Jueying Knights again.
With its wings vibrating rapidly, Qin Feng's figure turned into an afterimage, and instantly reached the sky above the Crane Country troops.
"Kawakami Ryosuke, you are so ungrateful that you dare to secretly enter our Bahuo Kingdom and cause trouble. Just wait for my Jueying Knights to wipe you out."
Amid a burst of loud laughter, Qin Feng's figure jumped into the sky again.
Ryosuke Kawakami, who was wearing official uniform, immediately explained loudly, "Baron, you misunderstood. We obtained the consent of His Majesty Diablo and followed formal diplomatic channels."
But no matter how they shouted, they could only watch as Qin Feng got farther and farther away from them, and he would soon join up with the cavalry who were destroying the bandits.
"Who is he? Why does he want to destroy us?" A petite female warrior frowned.
Ryosuke Kawakami quickly replied: "Princess, he is the baron of Misty Town, and it was he who killed the team we were trading with."
"Oh? That's it."
Akiko Koyama drew out her samurai sword and looked at the hundreds of samurai behind her with a heroic look, "In the face of the provocation of the evildoers, let us greet them with fire and swords."
All the warriors roared suddenly and formed a battle formation on the hillside. They took out their matchlock guns, poured gunpowder into the barrel, compacted it and stuffed the projectiles into it.
When they were ready, they quietly waited for the arrival of Qin Feng's army.
At this time, Qin Feng flew over a cavalry team that was wreaking havoc on bandits. He first taunted, "Well done, but these are just some miscellaneous soldiers in my hand. My elite troops are waiting for you over there.
When you are divided more loosely, I will catch you all in one fell swoop."
After saying that, Qin Feng flew away again.
The knight captain in the team directed a cavalryman: "You go and inform Captain Paul, I will take 200 cavalry to take a look first."
"Yes, captain." A cavalryman left in a hurry.
The remaining cavalry, led by the captain, galloped towards the direction pointed by Qin Feng.
Koyama Akiko lay on the hillside and watched. When she saw 200 cavalry running towards them, she was immediately dissatisfied. "Are they looking down on us? Can a mere 200 cavalry defeat us?"
"Give them some color." Koyama Akiko waved the katana in her hand.
"Distance, 500, 300, 100..." The samurai responsible for observing the distance kept reporting, making everyone nervous.
"Fire..."
Koyama Akiko immediately gave the order, rows of matchlock guns emitted white smoke, and a hundred projectiles flew out of the muzzles and hit the chainmail armor of the knights.
The chainmail shattered instantly, and bloody flowers flashed out. Affected by the impact, the knights fell from the galloping horses, and were immediately trampled by the horses behind them.
In one salvo, more than 50 knights fell, including the commanding knight captain.
The warriors quickly reloaded their weapons and prepared for the next attack, but the Shadow Knights had differences.
"Their weapons are too powerful, let's go back quickly..."
"No, we are only a little distance away from them. As long as we get closer, they will only die."
Without a common commander, some of them continued to advance while others retreated.
"Very good, keep shooting. There are only 100 people charging towards us. We will definitely annihilate them all." Akiko Koyama opened her eyes wide. She was very excited to command a battle for the first time.
The matchlock guns in the hands of the warriors had been loaded, and there was another burst of smoke, and more knights fell to the ground.
But those knights are coming to them soon.
"Lance..." Koyama Akiko yelled.
The warriors immediately gave up their matchlocks, raised their spears behind their backs, and formed a spear phalanx.
There were only about 20 knights left. Facing the densely packed spearheads, they shook their reins and separated from the two sides of the hillside.
"Prepare the iron cannon..." Akiko Koyama immediately understood what the other party was thinking. They were also afraid of losing both sides. If not, why would they use long-range attacks at this time?
