Chapter 1197(2/2)
This is a tactic formulated by the Imperial Cavalry, which allows them to effectively improve their survival rate when aimed by Melty's bow and arrow when charging. The rider uses the body of the war horse to block his vital parts, while the rider holds a small round shield.
It also helps war horses to cover the key points to a certain extent.
However, this is just their expectation. For Meltie, such a tactic will not work.
"Bang!"
"Bang!!"
"Bang--!!!"
The iron string bow kept shaking, and arrows flew out one after another, falling into the formation of the imperial cavalry.
Facing the war horses protected by shields on their chests, the arrows penetrated the heads of those war horses accurately; the imperial cavalry discovered this and moved the shield upward to cover the heads of the war horses, but exposed the chest of the war horses.
When he came out, he immediately encountered an aiming attack from the arrow.
Whether it is hit by an arrow in the chest or the head, those war horses are either dead or disabled. After being shot, they will immediately fall with the imperial cavalry on their backs, causing them to fall behind, even if they are lucky enough to live for a short time
It is impossible for Li to appear in front of Melty again.
The imperial cavalry watched one comrade after another fall behind, and fear rose again, but they could only grit their teeth and continue to sprint.
If they could, they would like to be heavy cavalry wearing full-coverage heavy armor, but unfortunately, as a pursuit force that needs to retain extremely high speed, their equipment is light chain mail or leather armor, at most it can only be
I can just carry a lightweight round shield.
The same goes for war horses, without any protection at all.
Although the heavy armor and large shield have higher defense, their weight is also very high. If worn, the speed of the cavalry unit will be greatly negatively affected, so this unit under Newman is used for pursuing.
There is no heavy armor protective equipment at all.
