Chapter 1300: The Principality of Mazovia falls
In fact, this time the plate knights of the Principality of Mazovia lost really badly. If it is a head-to-head match, they will not lose so badly. However, they were anxious to chase the 1ooo knight of the Jagiellonian royal family as a decoy, and turned their backs against the wing cavalry. It's too late to wait for them to turn around.
After all, the plate armor knight itself is very burdensome and heavy, and the speed is slow. Hastily turned around, naturally not as cheap as the wing cavalry.
Moreover, with Marin's spring lances, the wing cavalry can repeatedly charge with a lance, which is terrible. You know, in the traditional knightly duel, every time after the rush, the knight must go back and change his lance.
The wing cavalry has a spring cavalry, and can repeatedly rush back and forth. The knights of the Principality of Mazovia, even if they wanted to go back and change their lances, would be hard to do. Because at this moment they are near the royal army of Jagiellon, far away from their battle front ...
The other is that, because the war horses have not undergone adaptation training, the first time they saw the Polish wing cavalry in "fancy costumes", they were scared. Together with the shock of the horse, the battle was chaotic, and it was naturally slaughtered unilaterally.
Without these factors, even if the knights of the Principality of Mazovia are defeated, they will definitely cause huge damage to the wing cavalry. Instead of killing dozens of opponents like now, he was completely wiped out by himself ...
Of course, it was said that the whole army was annihilated. In fact, most of them did not die. Instead, they were shot down and stunned. Then he was captured by the infantry of the royal family of Jagiellon. After all, they wear full body plate armor and are very protective. As long as they are not trampled on by horses or critically attacked, they will not die. However, wearing such a heavy weight and falling off the horse's back, breaking an arm and leg, is very commonplace ...
...
Seeing the pride of the 22oo plate armoured knight annihilated, the Principality of Mazovia Vazinski was terrified. However, as a knowledgeable veteran, he also knows that this is not the time to be afraid. And, never be afraid.
So he ordered loudly:
"Steady! Steady! Pikemen, the end of the pike is inserted into the ground, the spearhead is slanting forward, blocking the enemy cavalry charge!"
This is a very common spear array in Europe that blocks cavalry charges. The spear cannot be borne by a cavalry with a spear. Therefore, the European infantry would insert the bottom of the spear into the mud and move forward at an angle of 45 degrees. In this way, the enemy's cavalry hits, not only will the horse be stabted by the spearhead, but also the huge impact is transmitted to the earth, not the spearman ...
However, the Polish spearman is different from the Swiss spearman. They use long hairs that are more than 3 meters long, rather than the 6-meter spear used by the Swiss pikemen. If it is inserted into the soil at an angle of 45 degrees, the horizontal length is shorter ...
The lance used by the Polish wing cavalry is more than 4 meters long. The wing cavalry held the spear flat, which is much longer than the horizontal length of the Polish infantry spear inclined at 45 degrees ...
...
After defeating the cavalry of the Principality of Mazovia, Lewandov was not satisfied with this result, but continued to have an impact on the infantry battle of the Principality of Mazovia ...
"Wing cavalry, get ready! Oblique 45 degrees, hit the enemy right!"
Suddenly, the Polish wing cavalry turned the horse's head to the left and rushed towards the right wing of the Mazovia infantry ...
When the wing cavalry skimmed the right wing of the Mazovia infantry phalanx, a spring lance with a length of more than 4 meters picked up many Mazovia infantry ...
"No, their lances are so long! Actually longer than our infantry!"
In fact, the Polish wing cavalry used such a long spear, and indeed did not fear the infantry phalanx. In the history of history, during the Nazha War, the Polish Lancers of the Emperor singled out the Spanish infantry phalanx successfully, and defeated the Spanish infantry phalanx actively, and made great contributions to the French annexation of Spain.
...
After a success, the Polish Wing Cavalry did not look back, but went to the right of the Mazovia infantry square. Then, in a different direction, he went straight to the back of the right and right wings of the Mazovia infantry square ...
In this era of Europe, the soldiers behind were mostly recruits and the old, weak and sick. Facing the fierce impact of the Polish wing cavalry, the old, weak and sick in the back were suddenly disrupted ...
"Hold on, hold on!" Vazinski planned to mobilize the reserve team to support the rear.
But before he had time to act, the infantry phalanx in front of the royal family of Jagiellon pressed forward. The plate armoured knight of the Thousand Yagiron family who had escaped before, also went around like a ghost to the left of the infantry phalanx of the Principality of Mazovia ...
...
"It's over!" Vazinski suddenly despaired. Now surrounded by enemies on three sides, he is not easy to mobilize the reserve team to support elsewhere.
To be sure, once the reserve team breaks away from this position, it will definitely be violently impacted by the enemy cavalry ...
Before he responded, the 1ooo plate knight also impacted the left wing of Mazovia Infantry. Moreover, this time, they also put on a slender spring lance, which is very suitable for impacting the infantry square ...
...
Moreover, unlike the wing cavalry who lacks protection on horses and thighs, the plate armoured knight is armed to the teeth, and the horses are also wearing horse armor.
Therefore, the 1ooo plate knight slammed into the left wing of the Mazovia infantry square ...
In the face of a thousand plate armoured knights who generally rushed over from the tank, the left-wing Mazovia infantry was difficult to resist, and a gap was torn in one face.
Then, the group of plate armour knights directly wielded the spring lance, driving the nearby Mazovia infantry ...
After that, the group of knights stepped back and bumped forward again ...
...
At the same time, the 4ooo (already inadequate) Polish wing cavalry also began to violently attack the rear part of the right wing of the Mazovia infantry phalanx, specifically picking the old, weak and sick.
Vazinski wanted to mobilize elite to support the wings, but he couldn't do it because the main infantry of Sigmund I came up ...
Under the attack of the royal army of Jagiellon on three sides, less than half a day, more than 10,000 infantry of the Principality of Mazovia collapsed across the board. And Vazinski failed to escape when he was riding on the road and was surrounded by wing cavalry ...
...
"Ha ha ha ha, this kind of spring lance is really easy to use. The plate armor can actually hit the infantry square directly, and I do n’t worry about the reaction force of the lance that hurts the arm. It ’s a good thing!"
"Your Majesty, the enemy is now annihilated. What are we going to do next?" Wing Cavalry Commander Lewandoff asked.
"Surround Warsaw and force your opponent to surrender!"
...
"What? The entire army led by General Vazinski is annihilated? How is it possible? Even if you can't beat it, you won't be able to withdraw!" Regent Anna Raziviu in the Warsaw Palace was incredulous.
"Ma'am, that's true. Now, the army of Sigmund I has surrounded Warsaw!" Xiang Dudekehui reported.
"How many troops do we have?"
"There is no regular army ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ There are only 1ooo militia ..." Dudek said helplessly.
"Then ... that ... can only surrender?"
Dudek nodded helplessly:
"It can only be so, at least, the other party will not kill the big noble. Otherwise, the nobles will not agree!"
"Well, we surrender ..."
...
Soon, Anna Laziviu took the eldest son's hand and personally led the team out of the city to surrender. And the rich Principality of Mazovia also fell into the hands of Sigmund I ...
