Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Knight Gets on the Horse First
"Why haven't they come yet?" Cheng Xiaotian nested in the grass and muttered dissatisfiedly.
In front of him is the orc camp, he and Youyou have been hiding here for a long time, and the orc's troop transfer process can be seen clearly. Now their infantry had left, and only a hundred wolf cavalry were assembled and on standby.
"My lord, there is still plenty of time for us, these enemies are no longer a problem, and now the most important thing is to find a place to rest and recuperate." Yu Yu is now a qualified staff member.
Cheng Xiaotian had already considered this point, and this location was in the westernmost part of the basin - Beila Valley.
The entrance is narrow, easy to defend, there is a large forest in the valley to use, easy water rivers run through the valley, and water is not a problem. The only thing that needs to be done is to clear the fields.
In his thoughts, the orc wolf cavalry, who had been standing still in front of him, began to change formation. Samsong took the lead, and the wolf cavalry formed a team to circle in place first, and then lined up in a line and began to move to the side.
They didn't intend to grangle, but rather avoided the Fallen Star Knights' blades and rounded their weak side. Of course, this was not for the purpose of attacking, but to use the infantry and baggage teams of Mochizuki Village to block the offensive line of the cavalry.
Beat? Samson really wants to fight, but not now, he just needs to entangle the other party, the annihilation battle should be after the reinforcements arrive, his wolf cavalry is more mobile than the other party, and he can do it without injury and harassment.
Things were indeed as he imagined, compared to his pure cavalry team, the army of Mochizuki Village was a little bloated and extremely poorly mobile, especially the baggage team that was lagging behind. It only took 20 minutes for them to successfully bite these "old and weak women and children".
At a distance of 100 meters, the wolf cavalry only needed a charge to pounce and easily bite off a piece of "meat", but Samson did not do so, because he had discovered a strange thing that made him unpredictable.
It is said that the enemy army has dropped behind, and Mochizuki Village should immediately change its formation and transfer the forward, but the gang of guys still maintain the original formation, and even the speed remains the same, and continue to march unhurriedly. This is a bit abnormal, the Knights of the Falling Star are all veterans, how could they make such a low-level mistake?
Besides, the baggage team did not panic, and some even turned around and waved at them......
Just when Shen Song was puzzled, the people in the last row of the baggage team who beckoned to them suddenly took off their hoods, stretched their bows and arrows, and shot a bunch of feather arrows without a sound.
As a professional officer, Samson is very thoughtful, and his wolf cavalry always maintains a distance of 100 meters, and this is generally the limit of the archers' killing. As soon as the opponent's arrow left the string, Samsong raised his left hand, and the well-trained wolf cavalry immediately retracted the reins and took a few steps back.
Brush Brush Brush Brush!
More than twenty arrows drew a parabola and nailed diagonally in front of the wolf cavalry, and the cavalry did not suffer any casualties, oh...... No!
Yes!
A miserable scream came, and Shen Song frowned and looked, only to see an orc cavalry rolling on the ground a few times, and stood up in despair, with no injuries on his body.
"What's the ghost called?!" Samson asked sharply.
disturbing the morale of the army, if it is not in the midst of a battle, the other party is his old subordinate, according to military law, it is enough to cut off his head.
Only then did the cavalryman come to his senses from his daze, scratch his head, and said innocently, "My lord, my wolf has been hit by an arrow."
Sam Song was taken aback, the wolf had rough skin and thick meat, and if he wanted to shoot from 100 meters away, it was not something that ordinary archers could do. At that moment, he hurriedly stopped the team and urged his mount to run to the formation to observe.
Sure enough, one wolf fell to the ground and was out of breath, and a feathered arrow entered its forehead, pierced its skull, and poked out a sharp tip from the back of its head.
"What kind of archery is this?!" Samson was shocked, looked back, and carefully looked at the group of archers.
There were not many of them, about twenty of them, all of them sitting in the car, wearing hooded cloaks, and their faces were invisible. The carts were pulled by donkeys, bulls, and even more carried on their backs.
There are about twenty archers in Mochizuki Village, which is a common thing, and a knight is equipped with four servants, including one archer, and if it weren't for the defeat of the Elliot family, this number should have doubled tenfold. But the question is, how can an average archer be so powerful? If he really has that ability, it is time for the knight to be his subordinate.
"It must be the female elf mixed in." Sam Song immediately concluded that no one here could have such superb archery skills except for her.
Ishara Night Wind, the Night Elf Huntress, the handmaiden of the famous huntress - Thein Merlin, after the death of Thein Merlin, has been following and serving her widowed son Xiaotian, and now the giant bear Martha who is by her side is the pet of Sean Merlin in the past.
Thinking of the giant bear Martha, Sam Song's heart tightened, and if he fought alone, he would find thousands of people on both sides of the enemy, but he was afraid that none of them would be his opponent, if the hunter Ishara was really lurking in the baggage team......
"So that's the case, no wonder the other party doesn't change the formation." Sam Song nodded, there is the giant bear Martha guarding, even if the side launches a strong attack, it can resist for a while, it is enough to calmly change the formation, since this is the case, then change the strategy.
"Stay where you are, let the enemy go away, and maintain a distance of 300 ......" Samsong is not a reckless man, and it is impossible for a reckless man to survive years of battle, since the purpose is only to follow, it is the same if he does not harass him.
However, before he finished his words, he saw that the army of Mochizuki Village was stunned and stopped.
Sa!
In a flash of cold light, a feathered arrow flew over and nailed directly to the throat of an orc, this time there was no scream, and the dying orc made a "Gege" sound, and fell helplessly into the dust.
"Stand back!" Samson did not hesitate any longer, waved his hand and ordered a retreat, after the Ulu they left, their own strength was no longer enough to attack, and there was no need for this.
But if you want to retreat at this time, I'm afraid it's not so easy.
As soon as the wolf cavalry turned around, they saw a behemoth squatting on the road, staring at them with fierce eyes, it was the giant bear Martha!
Roar!
Martha roared and launched a charge, her huge body weighing more than 10,000 catties, stomped the earth into a "dongdong" mountain with every step, as if a drum hammer was beating the drum surface.
Martha had just started to charge, and suddenly there was a loud bang! A bolt of lightning pierced the earth, the thunder was deafening, and the torrential rain that had stopped for a moment poured down again.
In the bleak wind and cold rain, a touch of ruthlessness flashed on Sam Song's face, and at this time, even a fool could see that the other party had set a trap, and he was so stupid to get in. But so what, these are all elite riders in a hundred battles, although the Knights of the Falling Star are famous, they are all old guys, it's a big deal, and it is unknown who will kill the deer!
However, the situation has not yet reached that point, and his mission is not to fight the enemy.
"Avoiding the bear, we protrude from the left flank." Sammatsu took the lead and led the wolf cavalry to maneuver to the left, where was the infantry of Mochizuki Village.
"My lord, they really chose this side, shouldn't you make a move?" You said with a smile.
Cheng Xiaotian was rummaging in the Qiankun bag at this time, and waved his hand impatiently when he heard the words: "What's the hurry, didn't you see that I was looking for something, let the horse rider get on first." ”
