Chapter 1218: Who Is the World's Number One Cavalry?
"Who's there!"
"This is..."
"Damn it!"
The sudden appearance of people terrified Ruslan.
Flying men?
How could these people have wings?
He had not yet realized what the purpose of these people's appearance was. The Cossack Cavalry had not yet realized what these people were doing... they had already swooped down.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The flight skills of these Dark Night Legion members were quite remarkable. When Jiang Xuan trained them, they were required to fly to within half a meter of the target location! This was a very strict standard.
Therefore...
With everyone dumbfounded, these members of the Dark Night Legion suddenly pulled a Dagger from their waists and began directly harvesting the heads of these Cossack Cavalry!
Bang, bang, bang!
In just this first encounter, dozens of Cossack Cavalry had their heads severed!
In the end, only their War Horses remained, panicked and running about in disorder.
"This..."
"Enemies, they are enemies!"
Ruslan was going crazy.
However, it was already too late; in the first encounter, they had already lost quite a few men. Moreover, where had this Cossack Cavalry ever seen this so-called "Air Force" before? How did they fly? Were these people, or something else? By the time they wanted to counterattack, the Gliders had already completed their first wave of attacks and begun to fly higher.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them for me!"
In such a situation, how could they have the heart to continue chopping trees? Were they just supposed to stand here and be slaughtered?
The Cossack Cavalry were suddenly thrown into a panic.
However, the second charge of the Gliders had already begun. The speed was so fast and the charge so fierce that even with the high mobility of the Cossack Cavalry, it was very difficult to dodge.
Clack, clack, clack!
Another wave of attacks.
Yet this time, the Cossack Cavalry had prepared a defense. They raised the Long Spears in their hands, intending to have a head-on confrontation with these flying men!
But...
The Gliders this time did not intend to engage in close-quarters combat with them. The Daggers in their hands had been replaced with Crossbows!
One by one, Crossbow Bolts with extreme speed and fierce force were shot down.
Every single Crossbow Bolt precisely and ruthlessly pierced into the necks of those Cossacks, and another batch of Cossack Cavalry died on the spot!
"This..."
Ruslan was already wearing a look of horror.
However, things were not over yet. Soon, he discovered that crisp sounds of horse hooves were ringing out from all directions simultaneously. A group of cavalry began to gallop over. And the difference between these cavalry and the Cossack Cavalry was that they, along with their horses, were all wearing black armor! Like a ghost army that had suddenly appeared, the visual impact this brought to people was undoubtedly immense.
"Kill! Kill them for me!"
Something Ruslan had not expected happened, and his heart suddenly panicked.
But these suddenly appearing cavalry were completely different from the cavalry he had faced in Europe... these cavalry not only ran fast, but also looked extremely powerful in their impact. Of course, Ruslan remained full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of his own troops.
Cavalry?
They, the Cossacks, were the strongest cavalry! Countless battle examples had already proven this point. Whether it was the French cuirassiers or the Winged Hussars of Poland, all had been ruthlessly crushed by them on the battlefield.
"Fight, show them some color!"
Ruslan roared.
In a head-on confrontation of cavalry, they were not afraid of anyone at all!
However.
What he did not expect was that this time, they had truly met their match. When these black-armored cavalry arrived before them,
the Long Spears they relied on for their fame could not pose any threat to them at all.
Bang, bang, bang!
The Long Spears stabbed fiercely into the chests of these people, but could not advance even an inch!
Although this fierce force also caused some pain to the people of Liangzhou, who were they? The Dark Night Legion! Resistance-to-impact training was their routine training. Without even changing their expressions, they had already launched their own counterattack.
You have Long Spears.
We have Short Blades.
Like lightning, cavalry clashes are just like this, fighting for that split second of intersection.
If the Long Spears were useless, then it was time for the Short Blades to perform!
The Cossack Cavalry were Light Cavalry, and they had almost no protective equipment on themselves. They usually wore very gorgeous and exaggerated clothing. But in the pursuit of splendor, it meant they had abandoned practicality. The Short Blades forged from Refined Steel began to pierce into their hearts, began to penetrate their chests, began to end their lives, and began to harvest their heads.
The sounds of squelching were incessant.
This wave...
The Dark Night Legion won again!
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Ruslan's face had already turned deathly pale.
This is impossible!
Under heaven, there could not be such cavalry! Fast speed, strong defense, and fierce attacks!
He had never seen it, nor had he even heard of it!
Where on earth did these divine troops descending from the heavens come from?
It's unscientific!
This matter is unscientific!
Because of the ferocity of the Cossack Cavalry, even if they didn't directly pierce the opponent's armor, the sheer force could still cause the opponent to temporarily faint. This was their advantage...
But now...
What kind of devils have they encountered!
"Who goes there?"
Narisong was also shocked by everything happening before his eyes.
He thought he was dead for sure today.
Unexpectedly, reinforcements appeared at this moment? At first, he thought it was other Chukchi who had rushed over immediately. But when he saw the state of the battle, he was completely dumbfounded.
What kind of people are these?
What kind of devils are these?
Facing the terrifying Cossack Cavalry, they actually moved in and out freely, with ease and skill.
What kind of armor are they wearing... what kind of weapons are they holding that can actually snap the Long Spear in the hands of the Cossack Cavalry directly!
He stood up in shock.
Whose army is this? It is absolutely impossible for it to be Tsarist Russia!
Everything happening before his eyes had exceeded the scope of his understanding. His eyes flashed with a sharp light. If they, the Chukchi, could have these Weaponry and Equipment, then what would the Cossacks count for? He wouldn't even take tens of thousands of Cossacks seriously!
"Who on earth are these people!"
"Who on earth are they!"
Ruslan was practically going insane.
It had only been a few exchanges! He had lost three hundred men directly!
He had only brought one thousand men this time!
Three hundred! This was a number he could not accept!
"Counterattack!"
"Counterattack!"
At first, he still thought about counterattacking; in his heart, the Cossacks were still invincible under heaven. But after a few more clashes, he was truly in despair... The morale of the cavalry under his command had also completely vanished. They began to panic, no one was willing to fight these devils anymore, and they began to scatter and flee.
But looking at those black devils again...
They seemed to have no emotions at all; they were born fighting machines.
They seemed to not even feel pain; no attack could change their
counterattack trajectory, could break their formation, or could have any impact on them.
Terrifying.
Such an army is terrifying.
Zhai Shiqing watched everything happening before her eyes quietly; she was not very surprised.
Of course she knew the Cossacks were strong, but no matter how strong they were, they were just a group of bandits; how could they compare to the well-trained, most elite troops of Liangzhou?
The reason the Cossacks were strong was that Tsarist Russia understood human nature; they had incited the wildness, greed, and skills of burning, killing, and looting in these bandits. Everyone knew that wherever the Cossacks fought, they looted; they even killed children and ate children—such things were daily routines for them.
Therefore, they were extremely fierce and ferocious when they fought.
Because all the spoils of war were theirs.
But, the Liangzhou side was more in line with Modern Warfare.
Discipline and organization—the soldiers were not a scattered heap of sand, so no matter what happened, no matter how bad things got, they remained a whole. Just like the Mandarin Duck Formation that Liangzhou was famous for, they could start as a very large Mandarin Duck Formation, a ten-thousand-man Mandarin Duck Formation.
But as the battle continued, they began to lose soldiers.
Then they could still be a thousand-man Mandarin Duck Formation, a hundred-man Mandarin Duck Formation, a ten-man Mandarin Duck Formation...
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou Army was always maintained at a very high level.
Compared to the Cossacks...
Now, they were already panicked.
When they could be ferocious, they could be the most ferocious in the world, disregarding human nature.
But when they were afraid, who didn't want to survive?
Who didn't cherish their life?
And so.
The scene directly underwent a transformation.
The Cossack Cavalry began to abandon their armor and weapons, beginning to scatter and flee.
And in this battle.
They left behind five hundred corpses.
The Dark Night Legion, on the other hand, only lost five warriors.
Ten Glider.
Twenty War Horse.
The difference in strength was immediately apparent. Pop-ups are severe recently, you can click to download to avoid pop-ups.
