The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 186 Another miracle
Domingo's prayer was not answered by God, because the British cavalry that had been prepared rushed out.

It can be said that the cavalry of the British army is waiting for this moment!
It has to be said that with the core commander's trial army, although the battle is still very fierce, it has basic tactical wisdom.

When Domingo saw the size of the British cavalry, his mood eased slightly, because he found that the number of British cavalry was only more than [-]% of the European legion's cavalry.

And they were all saber light cavalry.

The British army that came this time was mainly infantry. Both artillery and cavalry were auxiliary arms. Naturally, the cavalry and artillery were much different.

The artillery is only a dozen six-pound field guns, and the cavalry is far inferior to the Spanish European Legion.

Compared with the British light cavalry with only sabers, the cavalry equipment of the Spanish European Legion is very gorgeous.

The cavalry in the front row were all wearing the most popular cavalry breastplates of this era, and they also carried cavalry spears!

The back row is armored cavalry without spears, and the last row is lightly armed saber cavalry.

In this era when the infantry is fully armored, the cavalry still retains the habit of wearing armor, especially the cavalry that specializes in dealing with cavalry.

Because in cavalry duels, due to the speed when hedging is too fast, there is almost no time to draw a gun and shoot (fast reaction is possible, but it is not popular), so cold weapon duels are often used.

Naturally, cold weapons are useful against armor.

Moreover, the combat of cavalry against infantry mainly relies on charge and speed, not muskets.

Equipped with muskets are often dragoon units similar to mounted infantry.

Therefore, most of the battles between cavalry and infantry also took place in close combat, and a suit of armor can also effectively defend against bayonet stabbing.

However, the load-bearing capacity of war horses is limited. In the age of guns and guns, it is impossible for cavalry to blindly increase the load on horses to drag down the charge speed. Therefore, heavy cavalry in this era must seek a balance between horsepower charge and the weight of protective gear.

This enables the heavy cavalry to increase their charging speed as much as possible, reduce the time they are exposed to fire coverage, and also allow them to have a certain degree of protection and gain an advantage in melee combat.

As a result, the cuirassiers who only focused on protecting the torso and gave up other guard parts were newly released.

Compared with the heavy armored cavalry in the Middle Ages whose whole body was covered with iron protective gear, only focusing on protecting the torso part of the body undoubtedly reduced a lot of iron materials. In addition, the progress of the times has made iron refined into steel, and the protective effect is better under the same quality, so It ensures that the cuirassiers can still maintain a good charge speed.

However, because of the high cost of cuirassier training and equipment, cuirassiers from various countries have also become the endorsement of the elite.

After all, on a battlefield dominated by guns, it is impossible for cuirassiers to become invincible, so there is no need to deploy them on a large scale.

A legion of tens of thousands of people has a pure cuirassier cavalry, which is already considered a good match.

However, the cavalry unit attached to the European Legion in the Viceroyalty of New Spain, which has relatively weak industrial strength, is not a pure cuirassier, but a mixed force of a small number of cuirassiers and light cavalry lancers.

Even so, this is the most capable cavalry unit in the Viceroyalty of New Spain.

Such an elite cavalry unit is facing off against a light cavalry unit with only one-third of his own number. No matter how he looks at it, Domingo feels that he will not lose.

But when he thought of Yuri's summoning army on the opposite side, his fearless fighting spirit and superb fighting skills, Domingo felt at a loss...

In fact, Domingo's concerns are very accurate.

The two torrents are wall charges of the European standard, so when they come into contact, it is equivalent to two rows of opposing convoys crashing into each other. The scene is quite tragic!
As a matter of course, the Spanish European cavalry with greater equipment advantages took a lot of advantage, but as one after another the British light cavalry who were not afraid of death came straight up like a burial, this advantage was quickly wiped out...

After the group with the best equipment and the highest morale in the front row was exhausted, the Spanish light cavalry behind found no signs of being dispersed on the opposite side, even though there were more dead cavalry on the opposite side than their own!

It's a pity that people are more afraid of death than trial soldiers.

So, before the end of the hedging, the Spanish cavalry behind and on both sides turned their horses around because of the tragic casualties.

As a result, the Spanish European Legion Cavalry, which had a larger number and better equipment, collapsed by itself after the hedging ended!
Of course, the British light cavalry on the opposite side was even more tragic, and the battle was the last one.

However, after the death of the British light cavalry of the trial legion, even the men and horses disappeared, and the corpses of the Spanish cavalry and the howling wounded were everywhere on the battlefield!

Even if the remaining Spanish cavalry did not break up, they still looked panicked. The officers suffered extremely heavy losses and their morale fell to the bottom. Domingo knew that they could no longer bear to fight anymore...

Without the addition of the cavalry, the situation on the battlefield could not be reversed. The result was that Domingo took the frustrated Clement on horseback and fled towards the nearest other Spanish legions with a small number of mounted guards.

The entire European Legion camp was subsequently breached and massacred by the British troops of the Trial Legion!
Not surprisingly, even with the unified command of the trial regiment, they still haven't changed their combat style of extermination. After the camp was broken, the first order given by the head of the British army was not to gather the troops and prepare to march towards Yuri's troops, but It is a joint strangulation of the surrounding European legions.

The rest of the day was a nightmare for the Spanish soldiers of the European Legion.

The infantry without horses couldn't run at all, the tough and tough test legionnaires who were not afraid of hardships and tiredness, died all over the field under the organized suppression!

The stop of this pursuit was not because the British army of the trial legion killed all the routs, but that on the second day, other surrounding Spanish legions rushed over one after another, and a fierce battle erupted between the forward and the British army who were chasing the rout. battle!

The British commander of this trial legion was also strong enough. After realizing that his unit was surrounded by a large number of enemy troops, he directly concentrated his troops and randomly picked a Spanish legion with the strongest troops to attack...

Then, this selfless head of the British army once again created a miracle in military history. With less than [-] troops, he completely defeated the established Spanish army three times his own in less than half a day!

This result could not help but frighten Clement and the other Spanish legions who gathered!

Thanks to Brave Bronze for the reward of 100 starting coins.
