Chapter 137: Riding and Rushing (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
They gained a lot from this round of charge, at least more than thirty ogres and gnolls lost their combat effectiveness at once, and they were easily harvested by Solam, who arrived later. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, after the charge, when the speed naturally decreased, they were immediately entangled by the ogres, although the knights who were skilled in riding were still galloping on their horses, but the cottage cavalry that caught up later was not so lucky.
As a last resort, those private soldiers and adventurers jumped off their horses one after another and began to fight on foot, which was also a helpless thing, for them, down-to-earth or more able to exert their combat effectiveness.
However, Solam did not come down from the frost fang, the characteristic of the wolf is that he is good at chaotic fighting, and the impact on the contrary is not very good, after all, the frost fang is just a wolf, where does the impact come from.
In the chaotic battle, the cooperation between Frostfang and Soram is different, they rely on speed and Frostfang's sharp fangs, and quickly in the monster group, slashing and slashing, often Frostfang pounces on the monster, Soram follows with an axe to mend the knife, and then immediately changes to a target, and the cooperation is seamless.
Solam still has time to care for his teammates, supporting them with warhammers and spells from time to time. These adventurers are not dry, they all take the squad as a unit, and begin to cooperate with the tacit understanding to hunt these monsters, so that the monsters have no heart to chase those cavalry for a while, after all, how can two legs catch up with four legs.
The performance of those private soldiers was also remarkable, although they were not as agile as the adventurers, but they quickly formed a battle formation, cooperated tacitly, and formed a barbed shield wall on the periphery with spears and large shields, and then the people in the middle used bows and arrows to teach those undisciplined monsters a hard lesson.
These battle formations may seem bulky, but they work surprisingly well, and those silly monsters will only moths to the flames, and then they will be stopped by the shield wall, and the spears will be pierced all over the body, and those arrows are also very good to kill some monsters. So don't look at their slow movements, but they kill a lot more monsters than adventurers.
At this time, Baron Vane also led the knights from the monster, and finally broke away, and as soon as they came out, they immediately lined up behind Baron Vane.
"Prepare for the gun!" When the knights go out on the expedition, they usually bring three horses to rob, just to be able to impact many times. But usually they can only hit three times. After all, the standing horse can't stand it, don't think too much about the war horse, usually this kind of war horse that supports the charge of the heavily armed knight, as long as a few short distance extreme charges, will consume all the physical strength.
Therefore, it is completely enough to prepare three cavalry to rob, like those irresponsible military novels, the heavy cavalry runs three hundred miles a day, which is completely nonsense, in fact, the horses that those heavy cavalry usually use to rush are not war horses at all, and they usually do not wear heavy armor to ride horses, only when they are fighting, they will change to war horses and put on heavy armor.
As for why these knights don't bring more horses, there is only one reason, it's too expensive! Don't think that the horses of the heavy cavalry are simple, these horses are much more expensive than other horses. These horses require tall stature, explosive power, and good physical strength, right! Good stamina, don't think they can only charge three times, just think they have poor stamina.
On the contrary, the physical strength of these horses is quite good, otherwise it would not be possible to accelerate the charge with the heavily armed knights. If the other horses, let alone charge, it would not be easy to run with those tin cans. For example, in the Northland, the price of a cow is almost three times that of a horse, and the price of a heavy horse with good health and excellent pedigree is almost equal to the price of thirty cows.
This is still the price of war horses, and the cost of raising horses in ordinary times is more expensive. Don't think that these horses can eat some grass, even those ordinary horses usually have to give some wheat bran or something to replenish their physical strength. This heavy war horse is even more delicate, and usually only ** feed, such as various beans and wheat, and from time to time prepare some eggs and fish bone meal and other things to supplement nutrition.
This is better than some poor people who eat better, and the usual careful care is not mentioned, it is like serving the eldest master. And those knights are only a manor at most, and they can't afford this kind of cost at all, so it's good to get a war horse. As for getting a few more war horses, that's a joke.
"Rush!" After the knights had prepared their horses, Baron Vane once again charged at the monster. The results of this battle are not bad, but the losses are also a bit large, and at least six knights and some of the attendants have fallen off their horses, this time it is not because of the riding robbery, but the war horse under the crotch is a little unbearable.
These horses were either physically exhausted or tripped over something, after all, those monsters were not dead, and it was impossible to just be beaten and not fight back, and one of the knights died after falling off his horse.
He had just pinned an ogre to the ground when another ogre next to him knocked him down from the side. He was also unlucky, one leg didn't come and was thrown off the stirrup, and he was just pressed on it by the horse, unable to move, this is a joke, these horses weighed at least half a ton, so he was so aggrieved that he was beaten to death by the ogre with a stick.
After this charge, there were still more than a dozen knights left with Baron Vane, but there were very few squires behind them, and the casualty rate of ordinary squires on the battlefield was already very high, and there were many squires who stayed in place to protect their knights.
But as a knight, he always has a heart to charge, and even if there are not many comrades, Baron Vane still takes out his horse again and prepares to charge again. However, this time, those knights did not maintain the formation just now, but all surrounded Baron Vane's side, especially his knights, who tightly sandwiched him in the middle.
If something happens to the baron, then the honor of these knights will be questioned, after all, the baron is the chief officer, and if he really has any strengths and weaknesses, they also have the responsibility of failing to protect them. And the knights of the baron are even more nervous to death, if they fail to protect the lord, it will be a stain on them for the rest of their lives.
Baron Vane was not angry when he saw this, after all, this was the rule, and he would not be like a child who did not know what to do.
"Ride ready! Rush! ”
These knights rushed to the place where the enemy gathered again, although this time it was not as big as the previous two formations, but the momentum was not weak at all, after all, the knights who could still charge until now could not be mediocre.
However, the ogres were not given for nothing, they could see that this group of cavalry was the most lethal, so they organized dozens of ogres to kill them under the summons of an exceptionally large ogre.
Although the Charging Knights also cut through the group of ogres this time, there were also more knights who were dismounted, after all, they were fewer than the ogres.
The most important thing is that Baron Vane also fell in this charge, although he was protected, but when the collision occurred, there was a mess, and the knights protecting Baron Vane were knocked away by the ogre.
As a result, Baron Vane had to face the ogre who pounced on him from behind, and although Baron Vane still inserted his horse into the ogre's chest, his horse was still overturned by the ogre.
However, Baron Vane's reaction was very fast, and at the moment of the horse's flip, he still got rid of the war horse in time, and then very cleverly turned a few heels on the ground, although he was dizzy from the fall, but fortunately he was not injured.
But his landing point was a little bad, and he had just raised his head when he saw a particularly tall ogre appear in front of him, and the huge rod in his hand had already been raised.
"Baron be careful!" Not far from Baron Veen, the knight Bach saw that his lord was in danger, so he hurried to warn him while riding his horse to this side.
Baron Vane had not yet recovered from the impact, but he drew his sword and stood in front of him, saving his own life.
Because the ogre's great axe had been swung down, the sword just blocked the fatal blow, but Baron Vane was still knocked away by the great force, and the saber did not know where it was thrown.
Bach was already on the verge of coming, but he was entangled by an ogre on the way, and could only watch as the huge ogre walked towards his lord.
Baron Vane was hit hard just now, and he couldn't get up, and when he saw the ogre coming towards him, all Baron Vane could do was pray to Heim, the god of protection.
In Bach's desperate eyes, the ogre's giant rod had been raised, but Baron Vane was calm, ready for his own death.
At this moment, suddenly a thunderbolt hit the ogre's head, bringing hope back to the two of them!
"Bang!" The thunderbolt hit the ogre's head squarely, but there was a sound of heavy objects crashing, and the ogre was knocked to the ground. Baron Vane escaped.
Before Baron Vane could be surprised, a white figure with a wolf howl flashed in front of him and rushed towards the fallen ogre.
The person who came was none other than our Solam, and the Baron was not supposed to die, Soram had just arrived here with Frostfang, and happened to see that Baron Vane was in danger, so he saved his life with a flying hammer.
Seeing the hammer knock the ogre to the ground, Soram missed such a good opportunity and hurriedly rode up on Frostfang. The blow just now was completely unexpected by the ogre, it didn't take any precautions, it only felt a flash of thunder, and it felt a pain in its head, and it fell to the ground, but as soon as it stood up with its head covered, it saw a giant wolf appear in front of it, and then it saw a sharp blade slashing over, and then it didn't know anything.
Soram bent down and grabbed the ogre's head, he had been paying attention to the ogre for a long time. In fact, even if he doesn't want to pay attention, it's hard for this guy to be a head taller than other ogres, and he has strange patterns tattooed all over his body, and he is still commanding other ogres, and he is a conspicuous mess, and he knows that his identity is not ordinary at a glance.
