588 Shameless
Auden never thought of .ranenA'com
In his old impression, the imperial army was a symbol of invincibility.
No matter how strong the barbarian king's troops were who did not obey the emperor's orders, when the roar of the imperial iron hooves sounded in their country, they must have been shivering in the bed, how could they attack them first.
But the sound of arrows hitting the planks in his ears, and the screams of his comrades all the time, clearly told him the fact that the barbarians from the east were really attacking.
"My lord, this baggage team is almost finished, as long as it ......"
"Say no more, retreat!"
"But... Well, my lord! ”
Seeing Harold's resolute eyes, the young subordinate had no choice but to respond.
"The commander is right, we are still far from the emperor ** team!"
Although they were only baggage troops, the reaction of these second-line logistics soldiers after being attacked was definitely at the level of the Kingdom's elite troops.
Except for the first batch of arrows that killed and wounded twenty or thirty people, in this quarter of an hour, they only gnawed off half of this hundred-strong baggage force, although this is related to the fact that they only surrounded the cavalry from a distance in order to reduce casualties, but it also shows their quality.
For such an elite force, he naturally adhered to the purpose of "annihilating the enemy's living forces" proposed by the city lord, and wanted to destroy them all, but they had no time, and these days the cavalry regiment was reduced to zero, and the attack on the imperial logistics army everywhere had attracted the attention of the other party.
The spies sent out at a distance of 5 kilometers from them found traces of the enemy cavalry, numbering several hundred, and if they didn't flee now, it would be too late!
But just as he gave the order to retreat, he seemed to hear something, and not only lifted the order to withdraw his troops, but also gave the order to continue the attack.
Oden's luck was very good, he tripped over a horizontal plank as he gritted his teeth and rushed out, and by the time he got up again after he had broken his two front teeth and the sword in his hand, he became the only prisoner of the cavalry unit.
Seeing the Imperial soldier glaring at him but implicitly fearful, Harold didn't feel any excitement, because the dull drumbeat of the Imperial Iron Rider was getting closer and closer.
"It's the 5th Cavalry Regiment! You brutes are dead! You guys... Woo..."
Ignoring Auden, who was dragged down by a mass of rags, Harold focused all his attention on the red cavalry that had come to him in an instant.
This is a light cavalry unit, all dressed in leather armor and armed with bows and crossbows, as if the light cavalry is the standard in this world, but the difference is:
The horses under their crotches are not ordinary military horses, but Flame Star War Horses with a hint of nightmare blood, and they can perform a magical beast with the ability of [Fireworks Meteor] comparable to [Flame Strike Technique] once a day.
If it weren't for the specially trained elite cavalry, ordinary war horses wouldn't even need these carnivorous war horses to spit flames, just feeling the demonic beast aura on the opponent's body would cause the formation to chaos because of the fear in the bloodline.
The leather armor on the body is not made of ordinary cowhide, but is taken from the toughest dorsal skin of the Earth Dragon, such a light leather armor is comparable to chain mail, not to mention that ordinary swords can not even leave traces on the leather armor.
Those bows, crossbows, and sabers are naturally not ordinary, and each of them is a hard-to-find magical equipment.
With such a force armed to the teeth, it is no wonder that this captive would say that his people are dead.
Harold really didn't want to fight them head-on unless he had the upper hand.
"Tripside!"
Without allowing him to think too much, Harold instinctively gave the order, but for some reason his right hand unconsciously shook twice.
After the initial shock, his men were also quickly carrying out the orders given by their superiors.
Two large, specially made arrows were quickly shot out, leaving only a short feather on the ground, and with the rope tied to it, a long tripwire was arranged in a few breaths.
Harold reversed the cavalry slightly, and it seemed that the fifth cavalry would be inserted from the flanks as soon as the formation was confused.
And all this fell into the eyes of Gage, the commander of the 5th Cavalry Regiment, and it became useless.
Hum!
Silver light flashed, and with a cold snort, a throwing axe whistled past the cavalry at the front, cutting off the tough triphorse rope in an instant.
Although this tripping rope was made of witch hair, brown sideburns, cow tendons, etc., it was still easily cut off in front of the [Rotary Flying Axe] made by this dwarf craftsman, and it lay on the ground softly, like a long snake that had been cramped.
But before he could be happy, the sudden explosion and shock wave swept away his excitement without a trace.
By the time his tinnitus gradually stopped and his eyesight regained his eyesight, the troops in front of him were already empty, and five hundred well-trained cavalrymen had fallen nearly a hundred soldiers in an instant under this sudden blow, and those shameful oriental barbarians were now stepping up their efforts to use arrows to slaughter those soldiers who fell to the ground and were seriously injured.
After seeing a cavalryman whose legs were pinned down by his horse being shot through the head with a delicate crossbow arrow, Gage let out a mournful cry:
"Shameless!"
Harold didn't care about the other commander's accusations.
It is no longer the time of knights, the two sides agreed on the time and place, arranged the troops, and charged collectively, although it looked quite spectacular, but in the eyes of himself and his city lord, it was just a fool beating each other.
Not to mention that the opponent's strength is far superior to his own, without any means, can he really watch his subordinates be directly cut after being charged by the opponent?
So don't explain that they arranged the tripping horses and secretly used goblin explosive arrows, even those seriously injured cavalrymen who seemed to have no combat power, Harold did not let them go.
After all, these targets don't dodge or fight back, do they?
"Boss, what's next?"
Although this time the secret calculation directly reimbursed the opponent's nearly 100 heavily armed cavalry, the anger of the scarlet eyes of the remaining cavalry on the other side was enough to scorch them.
Even if it wasn't the first time he had faced such a death situation, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"What's next? The next thing is to run! ”
Watching the other party scurry around seemingly disorganized, Gage was not carried away by the anger.
"Kill the bandit chieftain first, then kill the others!"
Harold's red cloak was a standout on the battlefield.
Feeling the burning gaze on his back getting closer, Harold smiled with relief instead of the anxiety of being approached by his pursuers.
"It's finally here!"
Laugh at!
Gage's sixth sense, which was far beyond the others, saved his life, and before the invisible black shadow approached, his body suddenly chilled, and then countless experiences of escaping death made his body instinctively make a motion to turn over and dismount.
Therefore, the giant magic crossbow arrow enchanted with [Haste Technique] could only pass by him helplessly.
But although he dodged the blow, the warriors behind him were unlucky.
The seven-foot-long crossbow bolt skewered together ten warriors who couldn't dodge, and then slammed them to the ground.
The wails were accompanied by the sound of "enemy attack" warnings one after another, which instantly filled the entire battlefield.
