Chapter 524: The Terran cavalry who also stole the house
The victims of war are always civilians, but the easiest victims are logistics.
As the cavalry regiment of the human race, they know that the people of their country are being slaughtered, but they can only constantly hypnotize and anesthetize themselves in their hearts to make themselves forget the pain for a while, and motivate themselves to make the blood debt of the barbarian mongrels pay for their blood.
For revenge, but also to annihilate the barbarian forces, the cavalry regiment placed its target in the valley of the stronghold before the enemy came.
"The information provided by the hummingbird is quite accurate, and the enemy is stupid enough to leave only some old, weak, sick and disabled people stationed here."
The cavalry commander standing on the high cliff looked at the camp left by the barbarian troops in the distance and muttered.
As he spoke, the commander was thinking about how to take the entire camp at the lowest cost.
There are only two entrances to the valley, one of which leads to the wasteland and the other to the plains where the Terran county of Nar is located. For the cavalry commander, the attack could only be launched from the Terran side. As for what camouflage infiltration, tricks and the like are not used at all.
Of course, it's not that the cavalry commander doesn't want to use it, but the environment here is very bad. Not to mention the steep heights on both sides of the valley, the snow and ice on them alone made it difficult for small groups of troops to stop. Therefore, the most efficient strategy of fire attack was decisively abandoned as soon as it passed in the commander's head.
As for the avalanche, it is equally impossible to count on. This valley was not what it is now, it was a mountain in the early days. On a certain day, it is said that the residents of the neighborhood heard a loud noise, and the entire mountain split in half from the middle, forming the present day. Therefore, if you want to create an avalanche, it is also unreliable, and the most likely thing is to bury yourself on this side of the slope as soon as you cause an avalanche.
The cavalry commander, who paced back and forth for a few steps, decided after a little hesitation: wait until the opposite side is cooking and launch a surprise attack.
In the final analysis, this surprise attack still belongs to the category of strong attack. It's just a surprise to take advantage of the moment when the other party is slacking off due to hunger. This can not only catch the opponent off guard, but also use the fire used by the opponent to cook the camp.
At noon, smoke rose from the barbarian camp in the valley as scheduled.
"Heavy cavalry obey the order, rush with me!"
After issuing the order to attack, the cavalry commander took the steel mask on his head and rushed to the front.
Facts have proved that the lead of the highest commander has been very effective. With him taking the lead and playing an exemplary role, the heavy armored cavalry behind him followed, forming a torrent of steel and sweeping away in the direction of the valley mouth.
Although the barbarian soldiers left behind in the camp were all old and weak, the most experienced veterans were assigned to guard the camp gate and reject the horses.
As veterans of a lifetime of war, they have a wealth of experience. You can tell who is from the horse's hooves.
"Enemy attack!"
The veteran who sounded the alarm struggled to push up the repulsor horse with all kinds of sharp blades. Unfortunately, although these veterans are experienced, they are not as physically strong as before. Before they could completely close the horses, the Terran cavalry regiment had already been killed.
"Drink!"
Although the heavy cavalry did not carry weapons such as bows and crossbows, they were equipped with short throwing weapons such as chain hammers. As the two good hands threw out, the barbarian veterans on the opposite side who were still struggling to close the horses had already fallen in response.
The rest of the barbarian veterans looked at the death of their companions, and their first reaction in their hearts was not to run, but that the camp was over. As veterans of the battlefield, they have long had the consciousness of dying on the battlefield and putting life and death out of the way. Moreover, they who died on the battlefield can bring an extra pension to their families. Of course, these pensions are far less valuable than the reputation of a 'father died for the tribe'.
For the sake of the dignity of the younger generations, these veterans, whose lives are about to come to an end, expose their most ferocious side. Raising their maces, they launched a final charge against the sweeping heavy cavalry with their flesh and blood.
Do not seek to connect the city walls, but to seek a murderous sword. The barbarian veteran, who forgot to die, chose to attack the horse leg joints of the opposite heavy cavalry at the cost of his own life.
Although the horse's leg joints were not covered by heavy armor, the speed of the heavy cavalry's impact was terrifying. Even if they are young and strong, the elite soldiers in their prime dare not guarantee that they will hit the target. But these veterans have managed to do what the young people don't.
It's not advanced skill, it's not good luck. It was the barbarian veterans who had formed a tacit understanding, and they all aimed at the same horse and the same joint. Moreover, they shot in different order. The sacrifice of four veterans slowed down the impact of the heavy cavalry horse on the opposite side a little. The fifth, who was not yet dead, grasped the plan and struck the horse's left leg joint with his mace.
In this way, more than a dozen veterans guarding the pass exchanged their lives for a heavy cavalry of the Terrans. This unlucky bastard, he was not killed by the barbarian veteran on the other side, but died by the trampling of his companions who followed him.
However, it was completely acceptable for the commander to take the camp gate at the cost of the sacrifice of a heavy cavalryman.
At this time, the vanguard heavy cavalry that rushed through the pass ignored the rejecting horses, but continued to charge towards the inner camp. Compared with the veterans guarding the pass, these young barbarians who stayed inside to make food and guard were simply weak and pitiful.
This weakness not only exists in force value and experience, but also in their mentality. They haven't experienced a few decent battles, and it's okay to fight and transport supplies. But against this group of heavy cavalry, their bodies are very honest. As soon as he took a step, he turned around and ran.
Of course, there are also those who raise their blades and attack out of fear. Either way, they will only die. It is nothing more than that the latter died miserably, while the young brutes who fled were not trampled by the heavy cavalry before they died.
The heavy cavalry that rushed into the camp undoubtedly made a great commotion, and the brutes, who were mostly enjoying lunch, did not care about the hot food in front of them. Raising their weapons, they began to defend the camp.
Led by the veterans, the young brute was discouraged from the idea of escaping. After all, two legs can't outrun four legs. Moreover, even if they escape, a cruel death awaits them when they return to the wasteland. Because the barbarians hate traitors and deserters the most!
In the face of hordes of heavy cavalry, these old, weak, sick and disabled barbarian soldiers resisted and suffered great losses. And the heavy cavalry, which used the barbarian camp as a racetrack, was not damaged at all.
Soon after, like wheat harvesting, the heavy cavalry of all the barbarians was harvested, and the land was burned. Like the wolf cavalry who ravaged the villages and plundered the grain, there was no grass in the places they passed.
