It was not the case that the knights could charge fro at their fastest speed, after all, horses were limited by their physical endurance, so they were only able to maintain their fastest speed for a short period of tiin to gradually increase their speed until they reached five hundred meters away from their mark, only when they ca

While in theory, the twelve-pound Napoleonic cannon had an effective range of up to 1,300 meters if it used solid shells Maybe because it only had half the diae of a thousand roup were allowed to open fire at was at eight hundred uaranteed, while at the same ti the ground Resulting in line dale shot

In order to let the ht to step to the side – letting the an area where bows and crossboere unable to reach the knights, but this distance was still close enough for an effective knight charge to be launched Knowing of the low efficiency of the hts were always ready to pull the horse’s reins, waiting for any resistance in one place However, like this, they becaroup

But the Duke certainly did not realise that by the time he ordered his troops to step aside , that they had already stepped onto Roland’s prepared battlefield While the ht have been flat and spacious, both of its sides were craetation What seerass, was in truth actually thick vines covered by a knee-deep layer of weeds, it was like a road plastered with natural tripwire If the cavalry wanted to start a flanking assault on the defensive line, they would only be able to ress The thousand-round, it round, but to Lighting flying in the sky, it was clearly visible The battlefield was precisely divided into several segments, and every differently colored mark represented a different distance – the ene about on a chess board, which per to calculate the barrel’s angle They only had to go through the steps as they had i
