Obodrite (Age of Charlemagne) Missile Cavalry

Slav Raiders

Although mounted troops are terrifying and effective as shock cavalry, charging down enemy lines and wreaking havoc, they also performed another, equally important function on the battlefields of the early Middle Ages. Lightly armoured and carrying spears or bows, a unit of fast riding, nimble horses were excellent raiding and skirmishing forces. Acting as a screen force for their main host, mounted skirmishers could flank and outmanoeuvre the enemy, peppering them with arrow or javelin fire before falling back out of range, sowing chaos and disorder amongst their ranks. More nimble melee cavalry struck the weak points in formations, delivering devastating attacks against lightly-armed and armoured missile troops, then retreating before the enemy could effectively counter-attack.
