This kind of stirrup directly solves the most difficult problem of keeping balance on the war horse and greatly reduces the time spent on riding training.
With a little training, the soldiers can learn basic control methods, and can fight at once without too long.
No wonder the Lord asked them to be trained as qualified knights in a short period of time. He thought it was impossible to complete them. With these stirrups, Andrew now feels that it is not a problem at all.
……
In an open space of the Lord's manor, a heavy cavalry army of hundreds of people was standing in a neat line.
Every knight is fully armed, wearing a full body of heavy cavalry armor, and the horses are covered with a full set of strong horse armor. Weapons such as swords, shields and spears are hung on both sides of the saddle, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.
The golden sunlight shines on the bright silver armor, reflecting the dazzling light.
In addition to the panting of horses, the whole cavalry team was quiet without a sound. The air of killing was emitted from them, but it could make people feel cold under the hot sun.
Chen Mo is riding a tall horse with a full set of silver and black armor. Outside the dark Edelman alloy armor, he is wearing a noble robe with a black background and silver edge. The king's sword is hanging obliquely on his waist. His cold and fierce eyes shoot out from under the facial armor. The whole man is like a sharp sword out of its sheath.
Looking at the cavalry regiment in front of him, Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction.
After three days of targeted riding training, all the soldiers of this heavy armour cavalry, which is composed of soldiers of the territory guard, can skillfully control the galloping horses.
In addition, there are stirrups to help maintain balance. Basic horse fighting is not a big problem. We have preliminarily acquired the fighting ability of cavalry. The rest is to practice constantly.
Now that the Knights are ready to fight, Chen Mo's expansion plan can finally be launched.
Facing the Cavaliers in front, Chen Mo said slowly in a deep voice.
"Knights are the most powerful force of human beings in this land, and the backbone of the foreign war and the fight against werewolves."
"To have the title of knight is not only a proof of one's own powerful strength, but also an extremely noble honor."
"In the past, it was difficult to be a knight, but in my territory, it was very simple."
"I have provided you with the best weapons, armour and horses. With your present strength, you can be regarded as a preparatory knight."
"As long as you kill an enemy knight or werewolf on the battlefield, you will officially become a real knight!"
When the Knights heard this, they were all excited.
You should know that in the middle ages, which was controlled by the Lords, in addition to the necessary equipment and strong enough strength, it was necessary to pass through the Lord's canonization to become a real knight.
That is to say, all knights are actually the ministers of the Lords.
There is no loyal object. Those who have not been canonized by the Lord can only be regarded as vagrant knights or servant knights.
Only by swearing allegiance to the Lord and fighting for him, after proving his ability and making enough contributions, can he be formally knighted.
If their merit is outstanding enough, they may also obtain a small piece of land granted by the Lord, usually a small village or manor, and then become a vassal aristocrat at the lowest level.
From the very beginning, it usually takes several to ten years for a servant knight to fight for the Lord and get enough merit knights. It's even more difficult to get the fiefdom. Only a knight who has made great achievements can get the land awarded by the Lord.
Ordinary civilians need the efforts and loyalty of several generations, so they can be regarded by the Lord, become a knight servant, and get the chance to change their status.
Chen Mo now tells them that if they can kill an enemy knight or werewolf alone, they can be knights.
If before, except Andrew, other people would still find it difficult, or even impossible, but there must be a lot of people willing to take risks to try, because this is a chance to ascend to the sky step by step, after all, to become a noble knight master is something that these civilians did not dare to think of before.
Now, all of them are confident. Although many of them have just reached the level of serving knights, let alone the ferocious and brutal werewolves, there is still a big gap between them and ordinary knights.
But other knights are not as well equipped as they are. Even their armor and weapons are much worse than theirs.
With these equipment, they first shortened a lot of gaps, and Chen Mo's training methods were very effective, and their physical quality was improved very quickly. In addition, the powerful and incomparable Holy Cross swordsmanship taught to them, in just one year, they grew from ordinary civilians to powerful soldiers beyond the cavalry.
They believe that even if they can't do it now, it won't be long before they will be strong enough to kill a rival knight or even a more powerful werewolf, prove themselves, and become a noble knight of dreams!Chen Mo's promise made all the members of the Knights' order more angry than ever. He wished he could kill the enemy's knights and gain merit now.
Feeling the strong sense of war in the hearts of the people, Chen Mo gave a cold and high drink.
"Go!"
……
Lord Warren, Castle of Blackstone.
The old Earl of Warren was enjoying his afternoon tea in the garden, while several beautiful maids were serving. At the gate of the garden, two mighty knights in armor and long swords were guarding.
As the highest Lord in the region, Earl Warren has the largest and strongest castle and the most powerful knights.
He has more than 50 powerful heavy knights and more than 100 subordinate Knights under his command.
Once upon a time, a group of more than 30 werewolves attacked his castle. With a large and solid black stone wall and a large number of powerful heavy knights, count Warren successfully defeated the attack of the werewolves and killed more than a dozen werewolves.
In that war, more than a dozen knights were killed by wolves, and the Knights and ordinary soldiers were killed and wounded.
Nevertheless, it was still a victory worthy of boasting. It was once the talk of the surrounding aristocratic circles, and Earl Warren was also in the limelight.
After experiencing the fierce battle, count Warren was very aware of the power and terror of the werewolves. So after hearing the legend of Chen Mo's killing the werewolves, and having personally sent people to verify the existence of the remains of the werewolves, count Warren was deeply afraid of Chen mo.
He could not imagine how powerful it was to kill so many werewolves.
