Chapter XXIII: The Parthian Cavalry

Mounted archers are good at long-range attacks, known as the all-round hunter on the battlefield, always playing with the enemy in the palm of their hand.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Yes, my king!"

The Bugong general took the lead, leading a hundred Zhurong hunters, following the direction of the wolf clan's rout, chasing and killing all the way.

Next, as far as the eye could see, the Spartan Holy Order soldiers raised their butcher knives, cut off more than 500 wolf heads in a row, directly inserted sharp wooden stakes, and erected them on the border of the southern plain of Sparta.

Looking at the head on the stake, the sloppy, godless eyes of the dead, under the horsehair helmet, Aaron's clear eyes became cold and shining, as hard as steel, "The Spartans treated the invaders without mercy. …… Want to bring chaos and destruction to Sparta, this is the price! ”

As Aaron believed, the wolves were a despicable race, but they came and went as fast as the wind, and one day in the future, Sparta would always be unguarded. If the scale of the invasion is in hundreds, or even a few dozens, it will be difficult for scouts to detect it in the first place. How to better prevent the wolf clan made Aaron realize that it was urgent to establish a cavalry team for Sparta that could react quickly.

Back in Sparta, Aaron summoned the Spartan elders, and looked at the crumpled old face that had crawled by the years, and his pair of beads turned vividly and freely, always shining with wisdom, "My chief of the interior, go at once and count the Parthians among the freemen, and gather them all." ”

Some of the slaves purchased from Athens in this God-given trade, Aaron recalls, were of the Parthian people. and 2,000 fine horses from the God-given trade, all of which were Parthian horses.

Pachia horses are not as tall as some horses, but they are strong, fast, and have very good endurance. It is said that the Parthian war horses were trained to run in small steps from a young age, and they ran fast and steady.

About twenty minutes later, the Spartan elders, who had a certain degree of efficiency, soon came to report the report.

"My king, according to statistics, there are more than three hundred Parthians in all. This man named Vyadoparthian was a nobleman before he was captured by the Greeks! ”

With the introduction of the Spartan elders, standing in front of Aaron was a Parthian about thirty years old.

He was dressed in a simple and rough leather armor and wore tattered high-tipped leather boots on his feet. Tall, square-faced, and very burly. There was a black mole on his chin, and those eyes gleamed in the darkness, making Aaron feel that this man was rough and not lacking in shrewdness.

"Dear King of Sparta, as your subjects, please accept the allegiance of Vyador!"

Aaron didn't say anything, and Viardo shrewdly knelt on the ground, one of his trouser legs reaching only his knees because it was tattered. On the exposed shaggy calf, there were countless tendons, large and small, connected by high bulging blood vessels, probably caused by the perennial kicking of the horse's belly.

"Target - Spartan freedmen, 5-star weapon mastery, 6-star cavalry mastery, 4-star general potential, 5-star loyalty."

Through the data, Aaron nodded slightly to express his satisfaction that this person had the potential to become a general.

As a former nobleman, Vyado knew how to be inferior and humble, and he was very amuseful not to report his surname without Aaron asking.

As Aaron knew, the Parthians were a people on horseback and had a deep knowledge of horses, and they were able to breed not only very good horses. Every Parthian was an experienced cavalryman, and the entire Parthian army was dominated by light cavalry, very good at cavalry and archery.

It was with this in mind that Aaron continued, "Viador, I will appoint you General of Sparta, Commander of the Cavalry. ”

Hearing this, a light of surprise erupted from Viado's eyes. But I didn't want Aaron to pause suddenly, the forehead became very high, and a few faint green tendons on the forehead slowly emerged. "In addition, I command you, among the freedmen, to form and train a light cavalry of two thousand men for Sparta. Soon I will personally accept it, and I hope you will not think that the king of Sparta is stupid and deceitful, because no one will want to see the consequences with their own eyes. ”

If Vyado was still because of Aaron's appearance and age before, he was a little insincere. But at this moment, I listened to Aaron's warning words, especially when I saw the silver pupils that pierced everything. Viado inexplicably felt a chill all over his body, and it felt like being pricked by a sharp needle, gasping for cold air, and his whole body was a little numb.

"My king! Viardo will definitely give it his all! ”

With the response of the cavalry general Vyador. From top to bottom, Aaron's eyes were fixed on his face and two new sets of data were seen.

"The appointment of the general was successful. General Viardo, 7 stars of loyalty, 2 stars of commandery. Battlefield influence, as a general, this person has a certain enthusiasm for fighting, but he still knows little about the overall situation. ”

"Personal charisma, 5 stars for weapon mastery, 8 stars for horse combat mastery, 5 stars for general potential. Loyal to the King of Sparta! ”

Witnessing Viado's loyalty grow, proves that Aaron hasn't been in vain just now. Although Viadow's potential is nothing compared to the legendary cavalry commander William, Aaron seems to have few other options.

"Take your men and go to the Bloodstained Grand Canyon to find Archon Kulush and tell him what kind of weapon you need. As for the saddles and leather armour, they were apportioned to the Spartan freemen, and they were ordered to complete them within the five-day period. ”

Aaron said this to both Viardo and the Spartan elders at the same time.

At present, the iron ore and weapon casting of Sparta, on the basis of inheriting the bear chieftain tribe, all exist in the bloodstained Grand Canyon.

The production process of the remaining leather armor and saddle is relatively simple, the animal skin is dried and boiled in an oil pot. Then dry, knead soft, sewn it, and the freedmen of Sparta can finish it.

Although Aaron knew that Parthia also had a kind of ace unit called the Ironclad Cavalry.

However, the ironclad cavalry was fully armoured with men and horses, of which the helmet and cuirass were made of a single piece of stainless steel, and the rest of the parts were supplemented by scale armor or chain mail. The face of the ironclad cavalry is usually covered with a malevolent metal mask. The armor of the mount also covered the whole body with scales, which reached the horse's knees.

With the current iron-smelting process in Sparta. To create 2,000 sets of such cavalry iron armor, it will not only take manpower and energy, but also take a long time.

Therefore, for Sparta at this stage, it is more suitable to form a light cavalry with agility and cavalry shooting.
