Chapter Forty-Nine: The Horn of War
As soon as the side gates of the fortress were opened, a cavalry in full gear just opened a slit through the gate. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Captain, the orc army is preparing for an attack in the fortress for assembly, what is this cavalry squadron still going out for?" After watching the cavalry squadron pass through the city gate, a soldier turned his head to look at his captain as he forcefully lowered the gate with a noose.
Patting the dust on his clothes that had been blown up by the cavalry passing past him, the squadron leader guarding the city gate looked at the back of the cavalry in the distance with an unhappy expression.
"Who knows, but it must be this delicate group of cavalrymen who feel that their lives should not be wasted defending the walls."
"But, captain, it's only such a squadron, what's the use of going outside." With the loud thud of the gates slamming on the ground, the soldiers pulled the noose and rubbed their sore arms.
"Whatever, but if only those usually high-flying cavalry could make some trouble for the orcs outside." After seeing the city gate closed, the captain turned to look at his soldiers, "Okay boys, go back and do our own work, the orcs will definitely not let us have an easy time today." ”
"Yes, Captain!"
After two months of war, the time has entered the middle of autumn, and the remnants of summer heat have disappeared in the autumn winds of Faisal's northern continent, followed by a cold wind that blows on people and makes people feel cold.
The bitter cold wind blew on his face like a knife, making Zachary and his soldiers barely open their eyes, but they didn't pull down the visor from the helmet that each of the odd soldiers was equipped with. Although the visor was able to withstand the cold wind, it also limited the cavalry's vision, and they rarely pulled the visor down unless there was a battle.
"Zachary, where are we going?" Staring at the bone-chilling wind, Joanna barely opened her mouth and shouted to Zachary.
Feeling the simulated wind speed that is not used in the game, Zachary enjoys the feeling of the wind blowing on his face very comfortably, and his strong physique makes him ignore the cold entrained by the wind blowing on his face, and only feel the breath of freedom and nature.
The morning sun in the east cast a golden light on the earth through the clouds, and the vast and vast Lydian steppes were so magnificent at this time that the clouds in the sky reflected a golden light under the morning light, making Zachary want to cry out.
"Joanna, this is Lydia, the savannah that nurtures the kingdom of Reiner."
Zachary smiled and turned his head to look at Joanna behind him, "And what we have to do is look for opportunities on this prairie." ”
"But is it okay with just a few of us?" It's not that Joanna is timid, it's just that Joanna followed her father Rhodes to participate in the battle of Parnes at a young age, and she knew that with Zachary's little force, she couldn't even make a splash in front of an army of tens of thousands of beasts.
"You don't think I'm going to take these hundreds of people to assault the orc army, do you?"
Against the strong wind brought by the movement of the war horse, Joanna looked up at Zachary, "Then what are we doing here, the terrain was wide before the Baier Fortress, and there will be no splash if we throw hundreds of people into it." ”
"I told General Cavwell that our Fourth Army had not yet arrived, and that our cavalry could not play a role in the defense of the fortress, so I asked him to give us the order to come out and look for fighters." Zachary turned his head to look in the direction of the orc army camp, where tens of thousands of people could be said to be covered with tents.
"So, what we have to do now is actually to observe the movement of the orc army's dispatch and find the flaws in it, as for whether we should do it ourselves or go back to the fortress to find friendly help."
Halfway through speaking, Zachary glanced at Joanna, and then at the cavalry he commanded, "Didn't you also want to stay in the fortress and have nothing to do, so you surrounded me and asked me to take you out." ”
Hearing Zachary's words, Joanna and several cavalrymen who followed Zachary smiled awkwardly, they just felt that they had nothing to do in the fortress, watching other soldiers go into battle to kill the enemy, and these cavalrymen, who were usually better trained and equipped than those ordinary infantry, could only stay in the fortress, and wanted to come out, but they didn't think about what they were doing when they came out.
Seeing that even Joanna and Raphael and Amy had embarrassed looks on their faces, Zachary couldn't help but smile, sure enough, these three people are still too young now, and they don't have enough experience without the tempering of war, and they don't know that cavalry is called cavalry only when it moves, and the cavalry standing there is only infantry on horseback, so he will go down the river to ask General Kewell to get out of the fortress when his soldiers ask him.
"Okay, you follow me, our main task today is to explore the orc camp, although there must be excellent rangers in the fortress army, and they have already been explored, but seeing is believing, we still need to go and see it for ourselves."
glanced at the cavalry behind him, although most of them were veterans who had experienced the tempering of war, and the losses of the second squadron in Parnes City were relatively large, and the original squadron leader died in battle before it was Zachary's turn to sit in this position, so there were many recruits among them.
"When we came out of the fortress, we had heard the sound of war drums from the orc camp, this is the prayer of the orcs before the battle, it won't be long before the battle begins, you are also watching carefully, although we are cavalry, we will not go to the city wall to defend until a critical moment, but people you have not experienced such a big battle have shown me carefully, and you will participate in it in a few days."
Hearing the words of their squadron leader, all the soldiers showed a solemn look on their faces, especially those veterans who came out of the war, it was not the first time they came to Baier Fortress, although the war a few months ago was not as tragic as it is now, but they also lived on the battlefield, how many brothers and comrades-in-arms fell on it, how dare they not be cautious.
At this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering sound of horns and war drums in the direction of the fortress, and Zachary immediately waved behind him: "Stop!" ”
Turning the horse's head, Zachary looked at the magnificent fortress dressed in golden clothes under the morning light, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, when the Battle of the Star and Moon broke out in his previous life, he was only a rookie knight in the game, and he didn't even have his own mount, and by the time he and his companions became the top players in the Rainer Kingdom, the Battle of the Stars and the Moon was almost over, and the remnants of the southern territories were almost self-reliant.
So he really hadn't been to the battlefield on this side of the Bayer Fortress, and when he came to this fortress, it was already the time when the evil forces of the Faisalsi continent had set off a catastrophe, and the Bayer Fortress had already been in chaos under the fires of war.
"Let's go, let's go and watch the battle!" Suppressing the gloomy look in his eyes, Zachary kicked the horse under his crotch with spurs with both feet, and instantly rushed out and rushed in the direction where the horn sound came from.
Seeing that his squadron leader had rushed out like a sharp arrow, Amy and the soldiers behind hurriedly drove the war horses under their crotch to catch up with Zachary, and a cavalry of five hundred people made a small circle around the fortress and came to the side of the orc army.
At this time, Scrooge had already taken Carpas and his guards to stand on a hillside in front of the fortress, and the change of fate allowed the heroes who would not meet until a few years later to meet on this battlefield in advance.
