Chapter 1699 Defeating Cavalry with Cavalry

"Polish hussars are found ahead!"

Sun Chuanting led the mighty cavalry to search for the enemy for two days, and finally captured the cavalry led by Polish commander Koniecpolski.

Koniecpolski apparently also discovered the Combined Cavalry Corps led by Sun Chuanting and Prince Rupert.

The two sides faced each other in a field in northeastern France. Sun Chuanting had 5000 cavalry on his side, and Koniecpolski also had 5000 Polish hussars and Cossack cavalry on his side.

"Prepare to charge!" Sun Chuanting drew his sword first.

He did not choose the safe method of dismounting and forming a square formation to fight, but adopted a more courageous battle-defeating the cavalry with cavalry!

He couldn't allow the Polish-Lithuanian troops who attacked the food road to escape here, otherwise it would put more pressure on the logistics.

"They carry spears, and what the Polish cavalry is best at is also launching intensive charges. We seem to be at a disadvantage...but whatever, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road!"

Although Prince Rupert was a little worried that almost only his own cavalry equipped with swords would suffer in terms of weapon length, he undoubtedly liked the brave wall charge tactics very much, which affirmed Sun Chuanting's idea.

Sun Chuanting personally led 2000 Chinese cavalry as the main force and forward. They were divided into several cavalry squadrons, lined up in rows, and each squadron was separated by a distance.

Behind the Chinese cavalry came the Royal Cavalry of England, with the Scottish cavalry at the rear.

Unlike using Tubang soldiers as cannon fodder when attacking fortresses, if the Scottish cavalry were to go up to deliver their heads, the entire United Cavalry Legion would be crushed if they retreated. Therefore, Sun Chuanting asked the most elite Chinese cavalry to fight against the Polish hussars.

Although the length of the cold weapon is a bit disadvantageous, this charge may cause a lot of casualties, but in order to win, when necessary, one's own troops should come forward instead of continuing to use cannon fodder.

The Polish commander Koniecpolski on the opposite side saw that Sun Chuanting and Prince Rupert formed a cavalry line formation, as if they wanted to organize the cavalry to charge, and they also began to adjust their formation.

"The cavalry charge, our brave hussars are willing to accept the challenge." Koniecpolski was stimulated by the gestures of Sun Chuanting and Prince Rupert, and ordered the hussars to also form a line.

The Polish hussars served as the main force in the front, while the more scattered Cossack cavalry was deployed behind the Polish hussars.

Rows of hollow spears with a length of about 5 meters pointed straight ahead, and the wing ornaments behind the hussar knights swayed slightly in the wind.

The clanging sounds came and went, and the Chinese and English cavalry drew their swords.

The horn sounded in the cavalry formation, and the cavalry slowly accelerated with the sound of the horn.The noise of trampling horseshoes excited the cavalry and horses!
"Keep the formation, don't disperse, and keep silent!" Sun Chuanting and a group of cavalry officers tried their best to tighten the soldiers to ensure that the soldiers would not disperse when charging.

Qualified cavalry is more difficult to train than musketeers, especially well-trained modern cavalry.

If it is said that the classical cavalry fought hard with the personal charm of the commander and the knight's own sense of honor, then the modern cavalry relies entirely on the usual strict discipline!
Every cavalry is a part in the formation, and they charge, turn, or even retreat according to the strict formation.The distance between each cavalry squadron, the number of columns, and the timing of launching a charge are strictly regulated, so accurate that they can be measured by strict length and distance.

"Defeat the Holy Alliance and let other kingdoms see how powerful our Polish-Lithuanian cavalry is!" Koniecpolski's Polish hussars and Cossack cavalry also began to accelerate!
As the distance between the two sides accelerated, the sound of the trumpet became more urgent and tense, and the cavalry charge was about to begin!
When he was about 100 meters away from the Polish hussars, Sun Chuanting could already see the spears in the hands of the opposite cavalry. He roared hysterically, and the muscles on his face were trembling: "Charge!"

The charge horn sounded at the right time, and the first row of cavalry immediately pointed their cavalry swords forward, while the second row of cavalry raised their cavalry swords high, ready to go!

The Polish hussars charged at the same time, the hooves of the horses were rolling, and the brightly colored flags fluttering on the spears of the Polish cavalry formed a magnificent and terrifying picture!

"For Huaxia!" The silent cavalry were about to fight the enemy, they roared like thunder, pushing the speed of their horses to the limit!

The crazy two cavalry torrents collided, and the Polish cavalry spear pierced the body of the opposing cavalry. The spear easily pierced the knight's body with the high-speed impact of the horse, but the fragile spear was also broken or damaged during the charge.

The Polish hussars gave up their spears and drew out their sabers to slash and kill the oncoming enemy.

During the first charge, Sun Chuanting's cavalry, who were generally equipped with knight swords, suffered a small loss because of the spears used on the opposite side, but soon the Polish hussars learned the horror brought by the tight formation of real modern cavalry.

Even though the spears of the Polish hussars caused a lot of damage, the formation of the Chinese cavalry who had undergone rigorous training still persisted, and the Polish hussars were scattered instead!
After the confrontation, the speed of the cavalry on both sides slowed down, relying on the cavalry swords, sabers, and muskets in close combat!

After the only advantage of the Polish hussars with long weapons was offset, it was a competition of discipline!
Sun Chuanting also personally participated in this fierce battle. He did not use the cavalry sword, but used the revolver he carried with him to shoot.

After the first few rows of cavalry fought, the rear cavalry and English and Scottish cavalry arrived one after another like waves, gradually increasing the pressure on the Polish hussars.

The fierce battle between the two sides lasted for half an hour. The Polish hussars showed a decline, and the wing decorations on their backs were dyed red. The dense formation of the Chinese cavalry made these Polish hussars find themselves often facing two Chinese cavalry in close combat. Flank!
"Well..." When the battle between the two sides continued for another half an hour, the Polish commander Koniecpolski was stabbed by the cavalry sword in the fierce battle, and he screamed in pain. panic.

The Polish hussars had retreated, and there were fallen horses, broken spears, and broken flags on the ground.The retreat of the Polish hussars led to the rout of the Cossack cavalry in the rear, and the fierce battle on the wasteland turned into a one-sided pursuit.

"You can't let them escape, completely defeat them!" Sun Chuanting and Prince Rupert chased and killed the Polish hussars and Cossack cavalry all the way.

The Polish commander Koniecpolski died in battle, and the Polish hussars were defeated. Such a record caused an uproar in the European kingdom!
