A matchlock gun without an accurate head is actually just for listening to the sound.
Even with the composure of the Cyborg, not many people were actually killed by the projectiles when firing at a very close range.
However, loud noises and thick smoke are very useful to those unsophisticated northern war horses.
Without special training, these beasts will be frightened and run around even if they have no holes in their bodies.
Even with the knight's spurs, they still couldn't calm down.
Being at such a close distance and suffering such a sudden counterattack, even if some of the knights relied on inertia and successfully ran into the Fast family's formation, John would have been unable to expand his victory.
Cavalry loses speed, unless it is a knight.
Otherwise, their efficiency in killing enemies would not be as good as that of elite infantry, as would their ability to tear apart formations.
Looking at his companions scurrying around him, John knew clearly that their team had completely failed.
As for the other cavalry he had scattered, Lorne had already figured out the direction of John's attack.
Baron Fast concentrated his nearly a thousand arquebuses and inferior imitations on John's attack route.
Even though Baron Carter separated several groups of cavalry to make Lorne lose sight of one thing, the French army was still equipped with sufficient equipment.
The St family was stunned and used a single-shot matchlock gun to produce the effect of firecrackers.
Crackling: Not only did John's own direction of attack come under sniper fire, but the same sound sounded across the entire defense line.
Almost all matchlock guns fired projectiles from the chamber, but unfortunately, the matchlock guns were only useful in this way.
Lorne couldn't let the Cyborg reload.
The enemies were already in front of him, and they didn't have time to reload.
After firing the bullets in the gun chamber, the Cyborg pulled out his sword and immediately launched a counterattack with his spear pointed out.
It was a good surprise attack, but only one or two detachments succeeded in killing the Cyborgs' front line.
Most of the cavalry were already locked in a fight with Lorne's reformers.
Riding on a horse, you have to control the crazy war horse while also dealing with the attacks of the cybernetics.
John had more people than Lorne, but the battle seemed to be tilting towards the Fast family.
Even for the part where he successfully broke in, John couldn't see clearly what was going on inside because of the thick smoke, but he could tell the general situation from the wail of the war horse.
And this was not the biggest headache for him.
He had never heard of gunpowder.
Having never experienced it personally, John did not expect that the acrid smoke would actually affect the mood of the war horse.
With great difficulty, two detachments successfully broke into the Fast family's front line.
The problem was that the strong smoke seemed to have hurt the noses of the war horses.
No matter how driven the knights were, these guys just refused to take the initiative to rush in and expand the results.
Standing on the horse, he tried his best to take a look at his surroundings.
Taking a detour is a waste of time.
After losing so much, once he really finds a suitable attack position, it will be impossible to turn the tide if he loses in other positions.
Unable to wait, John simply gave the order to abandon his horse and fight on foot.
No matter what, Lorne only had more than 10,000 people.
And he only had more than 5,000 cavalry in charge.
Although he has lost a little now, he still has at least 4,000.
On the other hand, in Lorn, most of the troops on both sides were restrained by the warriors of the two marquises.
No matter how much he overestimates the Fast family in the direction of his attack, three thousand is already the limit.
With four thousand against three thousand, the advantage was still on his side.
Even in an infantry battle, with his many knights, he can still tear apart the Fast family's front.
Under the command of Baron Carter, all the knights soon abandoned their mounts.
An even more brutal fight unfolded in thick smoke, and Lorne, who had always looked down upon the natives, had to sigh at John's dying struggle: "These northerners are really crazy.
They have killed so many comrades, but they don't even have one." collapse" There were originally more than 5,000 and nearly 6,000 cavalrymen, but many of them were first burned to death by Sophia and her gang with holy flames.
After experiencing the baptism of more than a thousand projectiles, after a brief fight, the number of troops was reduced by nearly 20%.
With such a casualty rate, if it were an ordinary army, it would have reached the collapse threshold long ago.

But the cavalry led by John actually gave up their escaping horses and continued to fight with his reformers.
No wonder Lorne couldn't help but admire them.
It's a pity that after the admiration ended, this guy immediately issued a new order.
"Come on, order to go down, close the door and let the wolves go.
I want these people to not be able to leave."
There were only Lorne, Sophia and others on the high platform.
The Baron's order was naturally directed towards the Bishop.
Knowing that Lorne was about to rule the northern border, Sophia became much more well-behaved and did not argue with Lorne that she was not a messenger.
Let Lina, who has replaced Nancy who stayed in Anna, become the new flame bearer to deliver Baron Fast's order, follow Sophia and say to Lorne.
"My people no longer have the ability to use the Holy Flame.
It's now up to you whether you can kill John Carter."
Although Lorne's imperial army only has more than 10,000 soldiers, he still has a lot of giant wolves.
These guys may not have much power when fighting regular armies face to face.
But in a chaotic battlefield, they are all top-notch hunters in terms of hunting ability.
Moreover, the shameless guy specially sent people to collect John's personal belongings.
After letting the giant wolves below smell them, they were fully capable of finding their targets in the chaos.
The man who showed great confidence in winning actually hugged the bishop in public: "He can't escape.
After today, I wonder who else in the north dares to fight with me."
They dared to hug the Holy Light Bishop's waist in broad daylight.
Without John as a competitor, Lorne really didn't have to worry about anyone else.
But he wanted to save John's life today, but he still needed a little luck.
Although the nearly a thousand giant wolves that remembered John's scent were powerful, he did not expect that the smoke produced by the matchlock gun would be so strong.
John's war horse was affected, and his giant wolf was also a creature.
Moreover, the nose is more sensitive, and although it has been modified by the meat ball, it can still fight on the battlefield.
But when it comes to finding John's location, the beasts with their broken noses can't tell which one is Baron Carter.
Fortunately, even so, Lorne's plan to close the door and let the wolves out was still half successful.
At least John and others thought they were fighting in, but in fact it was Lorne who took the initiative to let the reformer make way.
Looking at those knights shining all over, if there is no John Carter among them.
Unless John never came here at all, Baron Carter would never let go of the reputation of killing Lorne himself.
But it was not easy to win over those knights.
Looking at the overall situation from a high platform, Lorne found that it would take at least half an hour for him to win
