Chapter 394

When Nord heard the sound, there was a cavalry force in the west of Jiman City, and the scale was still very large. With the distance getting closer, the vibration of horse hoofs alone became deafening. There was a trace of horror in Nord's eyes, just like the royal family of Ximan on the city wall saw Nord's nest car used to attack the city.

Nord didn't expect that there was such a large cavalry team in the Ximan kingdom. Although these were not armies composed of knights, even they wore leather armor. According to their dress, they should be light cavalry, but Nord's face turned a little white.

Because the number of these cavalry is too large, Nord can see that the number of cavalry is no less than 10000 at a glance. There is such a bottom card in the Ximan kingdom that has not been revealed. They are still really stable. If Nord's siege equipment today had not put a lot of pressure on the nobles of the Ximan Kingdom, Nord believes that the Ximan kingdom will not easily use this card.

When Nord thought that his troops and the soldiers in Jiman city were both defeated, he suddenly saw such a large cavalry team from the side and rear. Nord's heart trembled. He knew very well what the Ximan Kingdom planned to use these cavalry, that is, to wait until the key moment to give a fatal blow to Nord's troops.

Ten thousand light cavalry are definitely a very key force in the final stage of the battle. They can play a decisive role. At that time, the tired team can't stop the impact of these cavalry like a living dragon and a living tiger.

Fortunately, Nord's offensive today made the aristocratic consciousness of the Ximan Kingdom unable to resist, so they had to expose their cards in advance. Although Nord was very glad that the cards of the Ximan kingdom were played so early, the 10000 light cavalry were very difficult to resist at any time.

Even though the morale of Nord's soldiers is booming now, it is very difficult to stop these cavalry. Even if they are only light cavalry, they are well deserved kings in the cold weapon era. Nord must be in full readiness. Looking at the cavalry getting closer, Nord asked all the soldiers to gather near the nest car.

At present, Nord can only rely on the nest car. The nest car with arrow tower function can provide some help to Nord's soldiers, at least help Nord's troops stabilize the front, and make Nord's formation troops penetrate the light cavalry of Ximan kingdom.

The most violent attack of the cavalry is their terrible impact. As long as the speed of the cavalry can be slowed down, Nord will have the possibility to defeat them, but the most difficult thing is that Nord has no defense facilities to stop the cavalry.

Only the flesh and blood of the soldiers under his command could stop the cavalry. With Nord's order, the soldiers who were still watching the cavalry charge and lost their mind began to quickly gather near more than a dozen nest cars. The troops of nearly 20000 people surrounded these nest cars.

Nord asked his soldiers to form a close queue and establish a very tight formation based on the nest car. When the cavalry was coming, Nord's troops were ready. Although the momentum of the cavalry charge was very frightening, the long-range troops on the nest car took the lead in the attack.

Not all long-range troops can get on the nest car. At most, a nest car can stand a dozen soldiers. The rest are on standby under the nest car. However, in order to give a blow to these fierce cavalry, Nord specially put these long-range soldiers in the front line.

This approach is still very dangerous, because once the retreat is not in time, these long-range troops simply have no resistance to the cavalry charging, but Nord believes his soldiers can handle this situation well. After so many battles, the cavalry are rushing in front of them, These soldiers can still act according to Nord's instructions and the inertia of ordinary training.

In fact, in such a large-scale war, a soldier won't have too many personal ideas at all, which is a very wonderful thing, because they are like a linked tool. According to the usual training, they act by instinct on the battlefield.

Therefore, it can often be seen that if one person does not retreat, in fact, the soldiers can stick to it, but if one soldier starts to escape, it may lead to the collapse of the whole situation. For soldiers, they are united on the battlefield and do not have many people's thoughts.

The long-range troops on the nest car take the lead. With the advantage of height, these soldiers can attack the charging cavalry at a distance of 400 meters. Although the distance of 400 meters is the limit of range, because these are the reasons of light cavalry and there is no protection of heavy armor, the long-range troops on the nest car can still kill the charging cavalry.

Followed by those long-range troops, they have to face a much larger situation than their comrades in arms on the nest car, because it is very difficult for them to ensure their orderly output in the face of the positive impact of cavalry.

Fortunately, there are so many cavalry coming. These long-range soldiers don't even need to aim. They just need to shoot out the arrows or crossbows in their hands. As long as they can fall into the cavalry formation, they can cause great lethality. Under the joint attack of the two long-range forces, some people in the opposite cavalry team turn over and fall from time to time.

However, this did not affect the momentum of these cavalry charging. Even if a cavalry fell, there would be other cavalry following. As if nothing could stop the cavalry charging, Nord could even see some soldiers who were shot down by bows and arrows and trampled by subsequent cavalry.

Although Nord's long-range troops caused great casualties to the light cavalry of the Ximan Kingdom, they did not stop the momentum of cavalry charging. They were like a torrent, ruthlessly crushing everything under the hoof of the horse, no matter whether it was the enemy or fallen comrades.

Once the cavalry started charging, it was impossible to stop. With amazing speed, Nord's long-range troops had not been able to shoot a few arrows, and even the crossbow soldiers had just shot the second crossbow arrow, and these cavalry had rushed close to them.

Although there was a trace of fear in the eyes of these long-range soldiers, the cavalry like a torrent did give them a lot of pressure. Their hands trembled when they shot the last arrow. Even with more experience in combat, they were very nervous in the face of such a situation.

Thanks to the instinct formed by ordinary training, the long-range troops and close combat soldiers in front of the battle quickly changed positions, because under the condition of high nervous tension, Nord even found that this change speed was even faster than ordinary training.

He was nervous but did not make mistakes, because a voice in his heart always told these soldiers that this was not a drill. As long as there was a mistake, he would pay the lives of his comrades in arms around him. Therefore, in a very short time, the long-range troops in front of the array quickly returned to the camp and replaced them with a group of resolute spearmen, They stood at the front of the line with spears in their hands.
