Three
Misfortune came in Guderian's uneasiness. Towards the middle of the night, the three directions sent out to serve as sentinels signaled the presence of an enemy. So the whole convoy was busy again. The usual well-trained and oppressive, heavy atmosphere after the departure of the lieutenant made the soldiers tidy up their horses and carts very quickly and orderly. Less than half an hour after the enemy signal was issued, the convoy drove side by side in pairs in the direction of the Asgar City Wall in the faint starlight. The convoy was too large to light torches, so the soldiers tried to reduce the length of the vehicles as much as possible, so that they could stand side by side. Fortunately, because it is a plain, it has been transporting supplies to the Asgar Mountain Road all year round, and a wide road has long been pressed.
Guderian rode on a war horse and wandered at the end of the convoy. The war horse was given to him by the Eagle Yang Wei when he came out of the camp, but he never rode it. A long sword hung from his waist, a rifle more than three meters long hung on the right side of the saddle, and a short bow and quiver on the left side. Although Guderian was a captain of the infantry before he lost his memory, it did not affect his riding skills and riding spear. There is not a single lieutenant who is not proficient in horse and foot combat.
The convoy walked about three miles, and the soldiers sent out to make a sentinel chased after them.
"Captain, there is a small group of orcs about ten miles away from us. Available in all three directions. After we signaled, they retreated. "The soldiers reported to Guderian. After the lieutenant led the team away, Guderian was tacitly appointed by the soldiers as the supreme commander, as was customary in the troops.
It seems that the Eagle Guards have fallen into a surrounding. These scouting orcs should follow the sentries' trails to investigate, and find a way to kill them, otherwise the convoy will be exposed. Goodry thought at ease.
"Send someone to report to the marshal at once, the Eagle Guard is surrounded by orcs!" Guderian said to the sentinels, "Organize some sentries to guard the convoy for a mile away. Get a dozen more cavalrymen, and we're going to snipe these wolf soldiers. ”
"Yes, Captain. ”
The soldiers immediately dispersed. In a short time, ten horsemen lined up in front of Guderian. Although most of the soldiers who carried the remains of the robes were infantry, who said that the infantry battalion would have no cavalry? Who said that the infantry would not have cavalry training and cavalry training? It was just that the scarcity of war horses and the high damage in battle made the cavalry scarce and precious.
"Captain, I've sent someone to deliver the news to the walls of Asgar. But there weren't many horses in the convoy, just us. "Among the ten horsemen, one of the sentries who had gone out to investigate returned to Guderian.
Guderian looked at the cavalry and nodded.
"It's been nearly an hour since the enemy scouts saw your signal, and they should be very close to us. It could be around us. You are divided into six people, each in groups of three, and spread out to the left and right, keeping a distance of half a mile from me. When we find the enemy, we will immediately move closer to us, and we will not be able to meet the enemy! Alright, let's go!"
The knights consciously divided the six men and drove their horses to the left and right and trotted away. Guderian drew his rifle and, after they had reached the predetermined distance of half a mile, said, "Arrow!" and turned the horse's head. The soldiers quickly pulled away from a mounted spear and followed with Guderian as an arrow.
After leaving the convoy for about four miles, they returned to the place where the convoy had been camped, and the knights on the left and right sides approached.
"Captain, there are wolf soldiers two miles to the right, about ten. ”
"Captain, there are also wolf soldiers two miles to the left, about ten. ”
The knights whispered to Guderian.
Guderian rode a horse and stood on the slope, looking ahead. "Assault the wolf soldiers on the right first. Ya Array!"
The knights quickly joined Guderian's formation and advanced to the right.
Yajin first trotted and moved, and by the time ten pairs of dark green wolf eyes were faintly visible in the night in front of him, the distance between us and the enemy was less than a mile.
"Follow me! Ride the gun! Full speed ahead!"
Guderian had no superfluous orders. It's superfluous to say anything more at this time.
The knights neatly raised their rifles, forward, forward!
The enemy reacted faster than expected, and when Guderian spotted the green wolf's eyes, the opposing wolf howled and charged.
Yajin went from trotting to full speed. The sound of the hooves of the horses and wolves on both sides broke through the silence of the night, and the distance of half a mile was instantaneous, and the two centaurs burst out with extreme speed and strength and collided together. One-touch to part.
There were no human screams. There were no screams of orcs either. But there is the sound of a war horse colliding with a wolf, the wailing of a war horse and a wolf, and the sound of a human or orc falling.
The striker of the Ya formation is missing two people from the left and right, and the arrow is still there. The wolf soldiers are four less, including the arrows. The two parties that were hedging together turned around after the cushioning, and once again burst out with extreme speed and power, and slammed into each other. But this time it's no longer a touch, it's intertwined. Compared to the first collision, it was clear that the distance of the run-up was not enough this time.
Many times, a small advantage is doomed. In the collision again, Guderian's presence and the opponent's blade were replaced by another orc, coupled with the unequal number of people, this became the end of the wolf soldiers. The time of the grappling was not long, but it was a little longer than the first collision. In the army, especially in the era of cold weapons, as the sharp arrow of the formation, it must be good steel. So Guderian they won, and the wolf soldiers were all destroyed.
"Let's see if they're still alive. The orcs all mended their swords, and the wolves killed them. Guderian looked around at the six soldiers who were still on horseback and the other two soldiers standing on the ground. The reason why they stood on the ground was because the war horse died. None of the soldiers were badly wounded, and the worst of those who were still standing was a stab in the shoulder from a rifle.
The soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield, punctuated by the death wails of wolves and the occasional muffled snort of orcs.
"Captain, they're still alive. One broke his right arm, the other broke his left leg, and they all fainted."
"The more seriously injured ones, without the horses, take the two of them back to the slope where the convoy was stationed before. The others followed me and continued to assault another wolf army. The battle on our side should have alarmed the other side. ”
As soon as Guderian finished speaking, the howl of a wolf and the sound of galloping hooves were heard two miles to the south, and at the same time, ten pairs of dark green wolf eyes appeared in view.
"Get on your horse, line up!" The soldiers, who no longer bothered to pack up their spoils, quickly rallied around Guderian.
There are only seven people left in the yaji.
"Cavalry spears!" the seven men of the seven men were unstoppable. Guderian didn't know how many people would be left after this round of charge. He didn't think about it. The knights didn't think about it either. In their eyes, in their minds, all that was left was to raise their guns and rush forward......
The two soldiers, who did not have a war horse, carried their fainted companions on their backs, watched Guderian's charge as a sharp arrow, and silently thought in their hearts: The captain will definitely win!
