Chapter 708: A Ruthless Man
On the west side of the Dragon Domain, heavy snow is falling.
The Qianli Mingyue Horse under his crotch snorted from time to time, as if responding to the cold weather, and behind him were 20,000 elite Dragon Domain armor soldiers, each riding a war horse, wearing armor, carrying various materials on horseback, as well as hanging spears and shields, in the snow curtain, connecting the front and back for several miles, just walking in a cold and snowy land.
"Roar~~~"
Above my head, a giant dragon swept by, just under the dragon's claws dragged a heavy cannon and a wooden box full of cannonballs, the dragon convoy had already passed ahead of schedule, and our group arrived at the border about an hour later, for me, this SSS-level main quest is no longer as simple as killing monsters, but a command and tempering, as a member of the upper echelons of the Dragon Domain, this is probably what I will have to undertake in the future.
……
Time passed little by little, half an hour later, leaving the snowy region, the sky immediately cleared, and 20,000 iron horsemen began to gallop on the plains, stirring up the dust, and just half an hour later, on the big map, we have reached the edge of the dragon map, just in front, there is a pattern of two swords crossed on the big map, indicating that a war is going on here.
Wolf's Paw Valley, arrived.
On this map, the boundary between the Dragon Domain and the Centaur tribe is a river valley, which divides the large map in two, and the Wolf's Paw Valley is a narrow area of this river valley, and the garrisons of the two sides are quite close, and before entering the Wolf's Paw River Valley, you can see another garrison of the Dragon Domain on the Highland Plains.
"Tuk Tuk ~~~"
Amid the sound of horses' hooves, two soldiers holding the Dragon Domain Battle Banner galloped towards Lockid.
"Lord July Flowing Fire!"
Lockyd was quite polite and said, "This time, Lord Yunyue has named you as the supreme commander of the border battlefield, and his subordinates will definitely fully cooperate with your command!" ”
"Thank you!"
I nodded, and said, "Let's set up camp, the two legions of the Dragon Domain will be combined and set up camp on the flat ground on the heights, Lord Lockyd, you and I will go and inspect the battlefield." ”
"Yes, do you need to bring the Guards?"
"No, just the two of us."
"Yes!"
……
So, a group of dragon domain armor soldiers all stayed on the flat ground and set up camp busily, and I pulled the reins, with a thousand miles of bright moon horses rushed to the river valley, behind him, Lockid also snorted, riding a horse to follow, this at least three meters tall wild armor, even the war horse is one size bigger than others, a body of iron armor sonorous, although it is the logistics officer of the dragon domain, responsible for finding meat for the dragon, but Lockid is obviously all-powerful, not only can be responsible for logistics, but also can command the border war.
It's just that, obviously, my senior sister trusts me more, so I made him my adjutant, in the final analysis, although Lockyd has lived in the Terran camp for many years, but the blood of the barbarian clan flows in his blood, and it is easy to "go up" in case of trouble, and it is okay to be a vanguard general, and it seems that he is more than capable of coordinating the entire battle situation.
Galloping all the way to the front of the river valley, his eyes swept away, and the river valley began to become very "crowded" at this point, with five consecutive hairpin-like sharp bends crisscrossing the earth, forming five sharp river beaches like wolf claws, only a leap away from the opposite bank, which was also the reason for the exchange of fire between the two sides.
Not far away, with a low roar, a pigtailed centaur warrior with a spear in his hand leaped up and stood on the high ground of the riverbank, shouting at us: "Damn human, get out of the Wolf's Claw Valley, this is not your territory!" ”
Immediately after, more and more centaur warriors appeared, yelling at us one by one, the green tendons on their faces burst out, and among them was a centaur warlord wearing armor and wearing three silver generals on his shoulders, a blood-colored battle axe in his hand was raised at us, and roared: "Humans of the Dragon Domain, you give me to get out of here immediately, otherwise, our centaur tribe will definitely step on the river valley and tear your camp to pieces!" ”
"Presumptuous!"
Lockid snorted: "What are you guys, dare to speak to the people of the Dragon Domain like this?" ”
I frowned and said, "Lockyd, there's no need to fight with them, there's no point, more to capture the information we need from their language." ”
"Yes, sir!"
At this moment, the centaur general with the battle axe in his hand roared with a hideous face: "Don't get out yet!? By the time Brigadier General arrives tomorrow, I'm afraid you'll be too late to leave! ”
"That's right!"
A group of centaur warriors raised their blades in unison: "We will kill you to nothing, let's see!" ”
I couldn't help but laugh, and after glancing at the terrain of the Wolf's Paw River Valley, I said, "Lockyd, let's go back to camp." ”
"Yes, sir."
On the way back, Lockid clenched his fists and said, "These damn centaurs, not only stupid, but also arrogant, want to declare war on our Dragon Domain, are they tired of living?" By the way, they said that the brigadier general, I don't know who it is, it seems that tomorrow there will be movement in the centaur tribe. ”
"Not necessarily."
I shook my head.
"Oh? What do you mean, sir? Lockyd was surprised.
I said slowly, "Even if these people in the centaur tribe are stupid, it's impossible to tell us the military situation directly, right?" No matter how stupid they are, I think the reason why they say this is to make us slack off, thinking that they will only attack tomorrow, and we can have a good rest tonight, but in fact, there is a high probability that they will attack in a big way tonight. ”
"Scare?"
Lockid was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "My lord, what you said does seem to be like this, what should we do?" ”
"Respond immediately, let everyone eat and drink, and as soon as it gets dark, they will enter the mountains on both sides of the river valley and set up ambushes, open their nets and wait for them, kill as many as they want, and leave no one behind!"
"But ......"
Lockyd frowned and said: "There are a total of five wolf claws and five shoals in the Wolf Claw River Valley, they are all likely to wade through these shallows, our strength is only 30,000 people, there is no way to ambush heavy troops on both sides of the five wolf claws?" ”
"Just ambush the middle one."
I looked at him a little helplessly: "I have just observed, the slope of the four wolf claw valleys on both sides is too high, and the soldiers of the centaur tribe rely on four hooves, and they can't climb such a steep terrain at all, so they can only attack us at night from this road with a gentle slope in the middle, we just need to ambush here." ”
"Yes!"
Lockyd looked a little excited: "What are we going to prepare?" ”
"Just prepare a little more inscription arrows, first cover with bows and arrows, and then charge with iron horses, pressing step by step, so that they can mess up their own positions."
"Yes!"
……
In the middle of the night, the cold wind howls on both sides of the valley, like a ghost crying wolf.
The night here is not ordinarily cold, but the Dragon Domain armor soldiers who are ambushed on both sides of the river valley are motionless one by one, with nervousness and anticipation in their eyes, about half of this group of Dragon Domain armor soldiers have experienced the battle of the Hedong Corridor and are already considered veterans, but the remaining half are new soldiers, this should be their first actual battle.
"Will they come?" Lockyd asked.
"I think it will."
I couldn't be sure in my heart, I stood in the wind with a dagger, turned on the ten directions of the fire wheel and looked into the distance, there was nothing in the night, and the entire Wolf's Paw River Valley was empty.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, at last, the sound of water could be heard in the distance, the sound of the water was noticeably different, and there was even the sound of horses' hooves, which were the sound of centaur warriors walking on the ground.
"It's coming!"
I smiled slightly, and finally relented, it seems that my previous judgment was correct.
Soon after, a series of figures appeared on the river beach, and then along the slope all the way up, about three minutes, a neat centaur attack formation appeared in our eyes, all spearmen walked in the forefront, these spearmen were all equipped with armor, and even in front of the body of the war horse also wore specially designed cuirasses, which minimized the damage suffered by the centaurs in the impact, and the war spears in their hands were the nightmare of the opponent.
For a long time, the centaur tribe has relied on this simple but quite effective equipment and tactics to win victory after victory, so that they have annexed the territory of many races, and have become a hegemon in the western realm of the large map, which is strong enough to compete with the Terrans and the Scarlet Court.
As the hordes of centaur armies entered the valley in front of us, Lockyd's expression was full of excitement, and he said: "Good guy, it seems that at least more than 20,000 people have come, and the defenders on the other side of the valley have come as much as half of them at once, tsk, do you really want to destroy our Dragon Domain defenders in one battle?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at me, "My lord, when are we going to do it?" ”
"There's no hurry."
I shook my head: "After putting all of them in, when they all come in, Lockyd, you directly lead people to rush down, cut off their rear routes, and the rest of the people attack from both flanks, with our people in front of them, surrounded on all sides, let them taste the taste of inscription arrows first, and then kill in close combat, our main goal in this battle is to kill and injure their living forces, no mercy." ”
"Yes!"
A trace of horror flashed in Lockid's eyes, and he said, "Lord Yunyue is really wise to send you over, but you are really a ruthless person. ”
I smiled and motioned for him to speak quietly.
……
In front of us, the moonlight fell on the river valley, and a large group of dense centaur warriors spread out a whole area, I am afraid that it is a little more terrifying than we imagined, at least 30,000 troops, just in the back row, behind a group of centaur archers, when these archers also entered the river beach, it also means that they all entered our ambush ground.
"Alright, let's get started!"
I glanced at Lockid and smiled, "It's time for them to tremble when they hear the name of the Dragon Domain!" ”
