Chapter 68: Volley
At noon, when the sun was shining, a long procession marched against the sun on the road led by Bender.
Originally, this scene was not uncommon in the Banderling, and there were many caravans passing by from the Banderling, and a caravan of no worse size could be seen crossing the border every few days.
But since the new defeat of the Jingbei army and the eastward advance of the ogre, the caravan has become extinct, and it is impossible for any caravan to pass through the place where the ogre is raging under the leadership of Bande.
Take a closer look, although there are some humans in the team, their eyes are hollow, like a walking corpse pushing the cart forward.
More often in the team are stout, gray-skinned ogres who are fierce and savage, occasionally dragging those who are considered lazy outside the team to kill them, and intimidating the remaining humans.
The cart was loaded with grain, iron, gold, and silver goods, all of which the ogre had looted the village in recent days.
In the eyes of the ogre, there are too many valuable things in the human village, except for food and belongings, pots and pans, etc., everything with some iron is what the ogre wants to take away, and the old lady who lives like a house is reluctant to lose anything.
This also led to the leader of the ogre convoy, and finally had to capture some villagers to help transport things.
The long and scattered formation of the team also means that if such a team faces a surprise attack, the reaction speed must be extremely slow, and people who really know how to use soldiers will naturally not make the team so chaotic.
But ogres are more like primitive nomadic tribes, except for Grugersh's direct subordinates, and a few super-large tribes,
These small tribes don't know how to use soldiers and what formations, they just rely on their natural physical advantages.
While everyone in the team was busy, an ogre in heavy armor was sitting leisurely on a board cart, surrounded by four strong ogre warriors pushing the nearly 500-kilogram man with armor.
The ogre warrior named Nur is the leader of this ogre tribe, and Nur responded to Grugersh's call after Grugesh defeated the Jingbei Army in the first battle, leading the tribe to pour into human territory.
Nurben also plans to find a village to settle down like Bruce, where life is much better than in the tribal wilderness.
It's a pity that the neighborhood has already been taken by Bruce, and the two tribes are too close to each other to grab living space.
Nur took the tribe to rob two villages and then prepared to go farther away, not because he was afraid of Bruce's tribe, but there was no need to conflict with it.
In Noor's opinion, it would be very uneconomical to clash with the same race compared to weak humans.
"Bruce, that guy hasn't been heard from for almost two days."
Nur sat in the car with some doubts, according to the rules of Lord Grugesh, there should be some contact between neighboring tribes,
He and Bruce also executed it before, has Bruce forgotten in the last two days?
Why don't you send someone to take a look?
Although Nur was puzzled, he was not too vigilant, these systems were strictly enforced except for the four major tribes of the Grugesh lineage,
It would be nice if half of these small and medium-sized tribes could be seriously implemented,
Maybe Bruce forgot.
As Noor pondered whether to send someone to Bruce's again, he was interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves.
The sound of the horses' hooves grew denser and denser from far to near, and finally turned into a thunderous rumble,
The voice was familiar to Noor, it was the human cavalry charging, and these rather difficult human warriors still left a lot of impressions on Noor.
Where did this cavalry come from? Several human lords around are with shrunken turtles, and they dare to take the initiative to attack?
Without continuing to think about the enemy's approach, Nur stood up from the cart violently, and the cart trembled with great force, and several ogre warriors on the side of the cart hurriedly stabilized the cart, lest the slave directly fall off the cart.
"Enemy attack! Get ready for battle! ”
Nur stood on the cart and shouted, in fact, without him shouting, the ogre warriors also stopped and looked in the direction where the cavalry was rushing,
After all, no one would fail to notice such a big movement of the cavalry charge.
Despite the surprise attack, the ogre warriors reacted quickly, and they hid most of themselves behind the supply carts to prevent them from facing the cavalry charge.
Some ogres shook the stone ropes in their hands and prepared to launch the first wave of attacks on the incoming human cavalry,
These primitive weapons have basically been eliminated by long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows on the human side, but they are obviously much more powerful in the hands of ogres.
Seeing that the stones tied to the stone rope were almost the size of a skull, it would never be nice to be smashed.
Near, closer......
Richard, Baron Bender, and Ron rushed to the front of the group, followed by several would-be knights of the Bender family,
The cavalry of a hundred or so men tried to keep a cone and charged towards the ogre front.
"Bang, bang......"
Just as the cavalry was approaching fifty paces, the ogre's stone rope began to threaten,
Huge stones smashed down on the cavalry, colliding with metal armor and weapons, making a crashing sound.
At one time, several cavalrymen were smashed off their horses, although the stone is not very armor-breaking, but it can't withstand the weight of this stone is large enough, and with the blessing of the ogre's powerful power, the soldiers under the armor can also be smashed through the heavy armor.
But fortunately, the stones did not come densely, and the existence of the convoy forced the ogres to form a long snake formation.
Therefore, Richard and others led the cavalry to attack only one point, and did not need to withstand too heavy fire.
After withstanding a round of stone attacks, the cavalry crashed into the ogre's convoy,
Although the cart had a certain blocking effect on the cavalry, it was too thin after all, and after losing a few horses, the chariot array was knocked away, and the follow-up cavalry poured in, quickly completing the cutting of the ogre.
"Nourishing ......"
Richard's long sword sliced the pointed wooden stick in the hand of an ogre warrior into two sections, and the long sword attached to it easily slit the opponent's throat,
Dark blood flowed from the ogre warrior's neck.
Baron Bender and Ron each slashed down an ogre warrior.
But more ogres poured towards the cavalry, and the dazzling fighting spirit of the three did not frighten the ogres, but instead attracted the attention of Noor, who took the initiative to meet them.
With the quality of the ogre's individual soldiers, if there were only three knights including Richard and these hundred or so cavalry, it would be difficult to defeat these hundreds of ogres anyway.
But in the distance, the follow-up infantry has already appeared in the field of vision of both sides, and the chaotic ogre will face the double slaughter of cavalry and infantry......
