Four
The collision came very hard and quickly. Guderian's cavalry spear broke when it pierced the chest of the opposite arrow, and the left waist of his chain mail was also pierced by the opposite cavalry spear, cutting a wound on the waist and making a wound more than a foot long and visible bone in the waist of the war horse. When the arrow and the opponent missed, Guderian's horse fell to his knees with a wail before he could finish buffering, and threw Guderian out. Guderian took advantage of a few rolls to avoid falling injuries. The remaining three cavalrymen quickly turned their horses and guarded around Guderian as he had just risen.
There were still seven orc cavalry left on the opposite side, and after buffering, they turned around and turned the wolf to charge the four Guderian again.
The distance between the two sides is only about one hundred and fifty meters. The speed accumulated at this distance is enough to exert great power.
Guderian did not allow for much thought, and quickly ran back to his kneeling horse, took down his short bow, and carried the quiver behind him.
"Aim for the wolf's eyes, raise the spear!" Guderian raised his bow and drew his feathered arrow. It is already impossible to charge. The seven cavalry on the opposite side can easily kill the three cavalry on their side in an instant of staggering! In the collision between such squads, the exponential cavalry advantage can crush the opposite side. Unless Guderian still has a war horse, this or there is still a rush. In a collision between cavalry and cavalry, the cavalry is locked by two or more cavalry spears at the same time, and the locked cavalry cannot play at all. Because the first to die in the staggered moment must be the locked cavalry, there is no possibility of Yao Xing. No matter who your lance stabs, you will have a predetermined trajectory, and the staggered time is only a second or less. You can see the other party's prediction trajectory, and the other party can also see your prediction trajectory, and you can only lock one person, and the other party has two people. The cavalry you lock on to is only a little staggered and doesn't confront you, and you dodge him, but there is another person who is targeting you. It's hard to change your locked target in that split second while avoiding the opponent's rifle. Otherwise, why are you not a second lieutenant, not a lieutenant, not a captain, but just a soldier and a cavalryman?
The cavalrymen gathered around Guderian, raised their spears, and made preparations for throwing. Guderian was already aiming at the wolf's green eyes.
The hooves of the wolf soldiers drew nearer, and the silhouettes of the orcs and wolves grew taller and taller in the nightlight in the dim starlight.
Fifty meters. The horses of the cavalry were a little restless.
Thirty meters, the three war horses wanted to turn around in some panic. The soldiers tightened the reins of their horses and held them steady.
Fifteen meters.
"Throw!" shouted Guderian and shot the feathered arrow. Although the effective damage range of the short bow is fifty meters, the error is too large. And the throwing distance of the riding spear, fifteen meters can reach the maximum damage.
Three riding spears and one feathered arrow flew out with a whistling voice. The wolf's painful wail was heard immediately.
After shooting the feathered arrow and giving the order to throw, Guderian directly drew his long sword, rushed forward with both hands clenched, and shouted at the same time: "Let go of the reins, dismount and hide behind the horse!"
Guderian threw himself to the right and rolled to the right at the moment of shouting. And the cavalry also obeyed Guderian's command for the first time. At this time, I saw three wolves with the orcs tumbling to the ground. One of the wolves fell where Guderian had rushed out. There were also seven riding spears that were nailed to the ground and horses with a pop. For a moment, the three war horses screamed and fell to the ground. And the rest of the wolf soldiers also roared past.
The three soldiers were unharmed, and immediately after the wolf soldiers rushed over, they immediately rallied to Guderian's side with their swords.
Guderian had risen from the ground and was fighting the two orcs who had fallen from the wolf. The other soldier who fell off the wolf was to the left of Guderian's position before he could pounce and roll to the right, before he could join his companions around Guderian. Guderian took advantage of the fact that the orc had just fallen from the wolf and was a little drowsy, and the long sword opened and closed, and stabbed an orc to death in less than three swords, and because of the excessive force, most of the long sword did not enter the orc's iron armor chest. Seeing the tragic death of his comrades, the other orc roared with a hammer and threw it at Guderian, who was drawing his sword on the orc, and jumped up and pounced at the same time. Guderian grabbed the hilt of his sword with his right hand, and slammed his right foot on the orc's chest, and the whole person fell backwards, just enough to dodge the hammer that flung at him. At the same time, the long sword had already been drawn in his right hand, and because Guderian had fallen backwards, the long sword had been drawn just with the tip pointing upwards. And, the other orc who pounced on him also reached the tip of the sword, and the whole long sword once again sank into the orc's body, the difference was that this time it was the neck.
The three soldiers who had gathered saw this scene. The orc soldiers on the other side also rushed over when they heard the roar of their companions, and watched Guderian's wonderful performance with the human soldiers.
When Guderian pushed away the orc corpse and got up, the human soldiers and the orc soldiers woke up from their stunned stupor. As a result, the remaining orc soldier became the battle record of human soldiers.
All this is just a short moment. From the time the wolf soldiers roared past to now, it was less than a minute.
"Draw your wolf spear and get ready to continue the fight!"
Guderian's face, his armor, was covered with orc blood. Like human blood, red and smelly.
At this time, the wolf soldiers who had just rushed over had already buffered and turned the wolves, and were launching a third charge. The distance of sixty or seventy meters is instantaneous. However, they no longer have riding guns, and there are only four of them!
Guderian, who was holding a cavalry spear more than three meters long, and his soldiers formed a dense gun formation for a charge of only four cavalry! The battle was no longer a suspense for Guderian.
Surprisingly, however, the wolf soldiers did not rush to the gun. Instead, they detoured twenty meters from the gunline, and then disappeared far into the night.
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Only Guderian frowned tightly.
"Go and see if anyone is still alive. ”
Without Guderian's orders, the soldiers quickly ran to the battlefield where the first charge was staggered. It's just a pity that those three companions died in battle. Similarly, the orc soldiers who fell at that time were not alive. Probably after cleaning up the battlefield, the soldiers carried the bodies of their comrades and followed Guderian back to join their former comrades.
Eleven people when they came. Three were seriously injured and two died. All the horses were killed in battle, and those who did not die for a while, the soldiers also endured their grief and sent them on their way. A war horse that is seriously injured on the battlefield has basically no possibility of healing. That huge inertia, the wound is often fatal, whether it is a man or a horse. Just like Guderian's previous war horse, the huge wound, coupled with the kneeling under inertia, when the battle was over, Guderian was already dying when he found it.
When the team converged and was about to rush back to the convoy, there was a rumbling hoof sound due west. Guderian and his entourage looked back, and countless torches reflected the night in the west. About five or six miles away, look at the distance. At the same time, in the night two miles away, countless pairs of dark green eyes and vague shadow outlines appeared. The howls of wolves filled the night sky.
At this moment, the soldiers' eyes were full of despair. And Guderian, at this time, felt only bitterness. Didn't he bring people over and desperately intercept the orc scouts so that the convoy would not be exposed to the noses of the orc army......? Are these battles still in vain after all?
