Chapter 623 Cavalry Attacks
None of the griffins in the sky were able to escape and they all fell to the ground.

The Royal Knights of the Kingdom of Madeira sent out a group of men, more than a hundred iron cans, who came to a place five hundred meters in front of the position, followed by three or four hundred escort light cavalry.

They deployed their troops and put pressure on Wesson's army.

Instead of allowing the fire to be opened, Eugene gave the order: "The air raid alarm is lifted."

"The 3rd Cavalry Regiment attacks."

He knew very well that Frederick's purpose was to train the troops and let everyone fight.

The commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, Andre, is one of the second generation of knights who grew up with Frederick. He performed mediocrely in previous wars, but now Jurgen, who has performed well in the Kingdom of Kush, has been promoted to commander of the 4th Division. He is eager to make some achievements.

"Everyone!" Andre ordered, "Get ready and start the pre-battle self-inspection!"

A cavalry regiment has more than a thousand people, including more than 300 combat personnel.

Together with the logistics personnel, they rushed out of the anti-aircraft camouflage position, removed the camouflage around more than 300 puppet horses, and began the final automatic inspection.

One cavalryman has two assistants, one helps prepare weapons and the other is responsible for repairing the puppet warhorse.

Thanks to the puppet horses' load-bearing capacity, Wesson's cavalry can carry different weapons when fighting on solid ground.

The 3rd Cavalry Regiment completed its inspection and set off with three flags.

One side is the flag of the Knights of Saint Elizabeth of the German Brothers of the Church of Light. In the middle of the golden sun symbol of the Church of Light are three Elizabeth potatoes with countless lives.

The second side is the red background and golden double-headed eagle flag of Grand Duke Wessen.

The third flag is the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, with a yellow tractor on the red flag.

When the Royal Knights of Madeira saw a cloud of dust rising from the Wesson army's position in the distance, they knew that the enemy cavalry was coming and immediately prepared for battle.

In cavalry combat, because horses have limited stamina, they need to stop at a certain distance after marching to recharge their horsepower and reorganize their formation.

The Royal Knights of Madeira have been staying here for a long time, and their horses have recovered a lot of their strength. Logically speaking, the Wesson cavalry have come from afar and their horses are at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength.

They were ready, with the heavy cavalry in the lead and the light cavalry behind, intending to launch an attack when Wesson's cavalry stopped to reorganize their formation.

"Everyone, get ready!" the leader of the Knights shouted loudly, "Wesson's army has no war horses. The ones coming out are cavalrymen riding pack horses. There is nothing to fear!"

"Follow me later, we will initiate..."

"[Madeira expletive]! What a monster that is!"

The knights of the Royal Knights of Madeira were panicked, thinking that the war horses they were riding, which were about 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder, were already rare BMWs. However, the black horses on the opposite side were probably 1.8 meters tall at the shoulder, and were covered in iron armor. What was even more terrible was that they were running very fast.

The cavalrymen on horseback were also dressed in black, and people could quickly see their big round eyes and long noses on their faces.

They originally did not believe the rumors about the devil army of the Principality of Weshen, and the captured officer was just like them, with two hands, two legs, and a [penis], but he was extremely good at having sex with women.

But now they were wondering in their hearts, could it be a real devil?

Seeing that the enemy was ready for battle, Andrei did not charge head-on, but instead commanded the cavalry regiment to run far to the north.

The wind is blowing from the north now, and they need to seize the upwind position.

The Royal Knights of Madeira responded by turning in small steps to avoid being attacked from the flank.

Andrei got into position and ordered the entire group to disperse into a loose formation, and then threw tear gas.

The white smoke was like a wall, very wide and thick, drifting towards the cavalry to the south.

The Royal Knights of Madeira did not expect that they had such a trick. They thought it was a sleight of hand, trying to block their sight with smoke and then maneuver to attack their flank or even from behind.

However, the sound of a large group of cavalry running was not obscured by the smoke, so it was basically useless.

They soon realized they were wrong. The smoke was poisonous. After inhaling it, their throats felt burning and tears welled up in their eyes.

People began to cough violently, the tin cans found that they could hardly wipe away their tears, and the war horses were also stimulated and became anxious.

The Royal Knights of Madeira had no choice but to rush in tears against the direction from which the smoke came. When they left the smoke and slowed down a little, they found that the cavalry of Wesson's army was running towards the west.

They were immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Their mission was to buy time for the soldiers in the west to assemble, but now that the enemy cavalry had run over, the mission had failed.

There was no choice but to make the infantry suffer, since they could anyway escape into the woods.

The Royal Knights of Madeira immediately turned back to the west, but did not move quickly. Instead, they widened their width as they went, trying to trap the Wesson cavalry between themselves and the woods.

They thought that their own infantry would slow down the enemy, and when they launched a flank attack from the rear, the enemy would have to hide in the woods. The cavalry facing the infantry in the woods would be like meat on the chopping board, unable to increase their speed and could only be slaughtered.

The other end of the communicator behind Andre was the observation post on the mountain. He had the entire battlefield situation under his control. At this time, some infantrymen of the Madeira Army had already walked out of the woods, and the small team was lining up at the edge of the woods. The scene was a bit chaotic.

The cavalry regiment led by Andre was like a scraper, holding standard sabers and scraping along the edge of the woods.

Those infantrymen did not expect that the enemy would break through the Knights' interception. Some lords immediately ordered their men to set up a spear formation, and even if they could not stop the enemy, they had to make them bypass it.

However, they soon discovered that these war horses were not afraid of spears at all. The spears were broken and the soldiers were chopped down by sabers. The iron-clad war horses and the devil-like enemies rushed straight from north to south without stopping, leaving a road paved with blood and corpses behind them.

The Royal Knights of Madeira did not expect that the cavalry of Wessen's army had such a strong assault power. The infantry could not resist for a moment. They had to change their tactics. The light cavalry moved forward to intercept and entangle, while the heavy cavalry pressed forward from behind, attacking from both sides.

Andre ignored it, controlled his speed, and continued to harvest the collapsed infantry in front of him.

The woods were in chaos. The defeated soldiers kept running inside, causing the morale of those who had not yet left the woods to collapse. Many people ran around like headless flies.

The light cavalry of the Royal Knights of Madeira galloped hard and gradually surpassed the 3rd Cavalry Regiment at a distance of several dozen meters.

Some of them were so skilled in archery and horse riding that they even shot arrows at Wesson's cavalry.

This round of rain of arrows did not cause any trouble to the 3rd Cavalry Regiment. Only a few people were unlucky and were shot in the boots or in the gaps of armor and suffered minor injuries. Some people's gas mask ventilation tubes were shot through.

Seeing that the time was right, Andrei immediately ordered: "Line up, fire single shots with your lances!"

The Wesson cavalry began to change their formation into a horizontal column. They put away their sabers, took out short-barreled pea guns that were convenient for use on horseback, and fired volleys at the backs of the light cavalry in front of them.

These light cavalrymen had not seen that the Wesson cavalry had any long-range attack capabilities, so they relaxed their vigilance and did not take any precautions.

The sudden rain of bullets was like a sickle cutting wheat. Every time a burst of gunfire rang out, dozens of people fell off their horses.

Andre did not give the enemy much time to react. After dealing with the light cavalry in front, the entire regiment circled outward and rushed towards the enemy's heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry of the Royal Knights of Madeira immediately turned around and charged towards the enemy.

The mission of covering the infantry assembly has failed. The escort light cavalry is gone. If we don't destroy the enemy in front of us or at least inflict heavy damage on them, we will not be able to explain ourselves when we return.

The Iron Cans were the elite of the Madeira Kingdom. They quickly formed a formation. The first row of knights held shields and traditional lances, while the second and third rows held blunt weapons such as maces, and charged towards the Wesson cavalry.

They sang a heavy war song together, and an ochre-colored light appeared on all of them.

The Earth God Cult's earth-based protective magic is unique in the world, making warriors invulnerable to swords and spears, and the heavy cavalry's charge is as unstoppable as a mudslide.

However, 14.3 is a sacred constant. As long as the attack energy is greater than 14.3 times the energy contained in the volume formed by the depth of the magic shield contact surface and the direction of the attack force, the defense will be ineffective.

The Tin Cans didn't care when they saw the first row of Wesson's cavalry take out the "hammers" with olive-shaped heads, and they were confident in their own defense.

The two sides were fifty meters apart. The Wesson cavalry held the "heavy hammer" under their armpits. A moment later, the "hammer head" flew out with a trail of white smoke, aiming at the iron cans in the first row.

The hammer heads flew at an extremely fast speed. Some were knocked down by traditional lances, but most of them hit the shields in the hands of the iron cans.

There was a burst of thunder and flames appeared.

The jet composed of metal and fire elements was like a steel knife inserted into tofu, penetrating everything in front of it.

Only a few of the first row of tin cans survived the first round of shooting, but this was followed by more intensive concentrated fire from twenty meters away.

After the first row of Wesson's cavalry used Iron Fist to shoot and cause an attack, they quickly moved sideways to make way for the second row to charge.

The second row of cavalrymen were armed with 3.5-meter-long Wesson traditional lances with a circle of cylinders near the tip of the lance.

They stabbed at the neck of the enemy's horses. The metal jet shot out from the cylinder was beyond the tin cans' expectations. It pierced the horse's neck and hit the solid armor.

Some of the tin cans were less seriously injured due to the angle. Even if they fell to the ground, they would raise their weapons and smash them on the legs of the enemy's horses.

"when!"

There was a metallic clang as the weapon struck the horse's legs.

The battle entered the close combat stage.

The revolver has replaced the traditional blunt weapon as the main weapon. When facing the enemy, empty the bullets first, and then see if the situation requires a finishing blow.

But some of the tin cans have increased their defenses because they are rich, some have strong vitality, and some can even fight back after being hit by a round of revolver.

But they could not stop the offensive of Wesson's army.

The battle ended after more than ten minutes. Andre arranged people to be on guard and ordered some people to collect the spoils, including the flag of the Royal Knights.
