The first attack commanded by Chu Xuan was quite decent, except for the "night arrow", although the metal processing technology of the Lord of the Rings World was quite superb, but consumables like arrow clusters could not have an anti-rust process at all, not to mention that they would be polished and brightened, and they would soon be naturally oxidized to black after being created, as for the arrow shaft, who had ever seen a thoroughly dried wood in nature or white, and the processing technology of the arrow shaft itself also had requirements for baking and lacquering and anti-corrosion, which was originally dark......

By the way, even if the arrow is white, you can't see it when you shoot it at night, but come on, the white object is just a little more reflective, and it doesn't fluoresce! And with the flight speed of the arrow, even if it is shot out in the daytime, few people can see it, and the human eye is not a compound eye like a praying mantis!

However, I don't know if these knights are superb in archery, or if the strong beasts are too big and too backy, a hundred knights shoot back into the strong orc camp, and they can shoot more than thirty in one round, and the hit rate is one-third, according to this hit rate, there is no problem for the Holy Helmet Valley to hold at all.

First of all, what is called upward shooting, that is, projectile, the arrow is launched and flies along the parabola, even if the influence of air resistance and wind is not considered, the slight change in the angle and power of the light arrow when it is launched is enough to make a huge deviation in the landing point, so the English longbowmen require that the bow must be full when shooting, in order to make the power of the launch as consistent as possible, in this case, the projectile as long as the arrow can be shot to a sufficient distance, as for the hit rate completely depends on the character, In this case, you can get a one-third hit rate, which is simply against the sky.

As for why they were able to defend the Valley of the Holy Helm, because there were 300 elven longbowmen sent by Rivendell Elond, even if they were only at the level of English longbowmen in history, they could shoot nearly two thousand arrows in the first minute, and according to a one-third hit rate, this is seven hundred strong orcs! In the Battle of Agincourt, 5,000 English longbowmen shot a total of 500,000 arrows, with an average of 100 arrows per person......

Also, since entering the Lord of the Rings, Zhan Lan, who couldn't see either half-orcs or strong orcs along the way, and couldn't see anything, how could he see everything under Chu Xuan's hands, did he shift his target again?

However, when Chu Xuan encountered a strong orc team of more than 1,000 people again, and successfully used kite tactics to win the battle, Li Xiaoyi could only say that the strong orcs even had muscles in their heads, and they were completely tactical idiots.

First encountered an enemy attack, the first reaction of the strong orcs was not to use bow and arrow shots to weaken the opponent, but to raise a spear array and wait for the enemy to crash up, this reaction was either that the commander of the strong orcs was too stupid this time, or the cavalry commander of the Lord of the Rings had been so stupid to crash up......

Moreover, the so-called sweeping formation is to have heavy troops to suppress the opponent's formation and force it not to change the formation to be useful, and these 100 or so people spread out in front of the formation of more than 1,000 people, and there is no suppression effect at all!

And how can you not catch up with the enemy when you are flying a kite, this is really sorry for the physique of the strong orcs, who said that the infantry can't catch up with the cavalry?

Because the Rohan cavalry is a European-style saddle, it is characterized by a towering back of the saddle that extends upwards close to the waist of the rider, which can provide good stability when the cavalry uses heavy weapons, but also restricts the rider's movement on the horse, making it difficult to turn left and right, so when you want to shoot a bow and arrow, the direction of the shot is only a certain angle between the front and the side, that is, if you want to shoot the strong orcs pursuing behind you, the Rohan cavalry must not only stop, but also turn the direction of the horse at a certain angle. When you start again, turn the horse around......

Seeing that the strong orcs were beaten miserably by Chu Xuan, Li Xiaoyi could only shrug his shoulders and beckoned the selected musketeers to go up and shoot the water dogs.

In the face of the overwhelming range, rate of fire, and power of the Ring Rifle, the strong orcs quickly and completely dispersed, and the pursuit of the rout was what the cavalry was best at.

However, when the battle was over, Chu Xuan's new order, even Aragorn couldn't look at it, "Get on the horse, run at an ordinary marching speed, and eat for twenty minutes......"

"That, Chu Xuan, horses can't eat while on the move."

"yes, then rest for twenty minutes and feed the horses."

"Twenty minutes, the horse can't finish eating, if you want to feed the horse thoroughly, you need to remove the saddle and let go of the halter, otherwise it's like stuffing a spoon in your mouth and putting a belt around your stomach to eat, you won't be able to eat much."

……

Fortunately, Li Xiaoyi insisted that each person bring an extra horse to carry horse materials, otherwise I am afraid that even if the Luo Han cavalry let go of the horses, there would be nothing to feed.

Generally speaking, because the energy provided by the forage itself is not very high, the horse's food must be very large, if you want the horse to fight quickly, you need to provide concentrate, mainly grain beans, plus the right salt to supplement the horse's physical strength, even if according to half of the grain, half of the grass beans to calculate, excluding hay, a war horse eats five times as much rice and wheat as a person!

In addition, the grass must also be calculated according to the hay, although it is convenient to feed the grass directly, but because the water content of the grass is too large, it will greatly reduce the horse's staying power after eating......

Of course, if you only eat dry food, you will definitely be thirsty, so in addition to forage, you must also give the horse enough water, and after eating, you must let the horse rest for a while, and you can't ride immediately, and so on, so the cavalry is a very delicate class, and it is far from being as convenient as ordinary people think.

At this time, Yaragon and the others also knew that although Chu Xuan's combat ideas were very novel, he was really a layman in terms of specific operations......

However, with the reinforcement of the musketeers, it finally made up for many shortcomings, but no matter how amateur Chu Xuan was in the command of the cavalry, with the cooperation of the strong orcs, it was a new combat method after all, and brilliant results were achieved.

Under the continuous blows of the Rohan cavalry, the strong orcs no longer dared to divide their troops to plunder the village, and even did not send out any more troops to reprimand repair and harass them, it seems that the strong orcs are indeed afraid of this guerrilla force, all the strong orcs gathered into a force of more than 15,000 people, and they marched in the direction of the Holy Helmet Valley in such a coherent manner.

Chu Xuan and the others finally arrived at the Sacred Helmet Valley. (To be continued.) )
