Chapter 16: Assists

"Whew"

Charles flicked his slightly trembling wrist and let out a long exhale, the joy and relief of hitting his target diluted the slight tingling in his body.

The Bow of the Moon Shadow is a family heirloom item of the Chevalier family, and no one can remember how many years it has been inherited, but as the heir of the family's lineage, Charles has been eligible to access it since he was very young.

The Bow of the Moon Shadow is a very special spiritual weapon, unlike those ordinary goods produced by the Spiritual Power Workshop, as long as it is an extraordinary person who can drive it. It is very picky about the user's spiritual power, and only enough pure and stable spiritual power can satisfy its "appetite", and that kind of mixed and inferior spiritual power is not accepted.

Ordinary people could have pulled the Moon Shadow Bow, but at that time it was just a slightly better ordinary strong bow, and it didn't show its true power at all.

When Charles was eight years old, he was inspired by the Bow of the Moon Shadow and became the youngest person in the history of the Chevalier family to be compatible with the Bow of the Moon Shadow, which is one of the reasons why he became a recognized genius of the kingdom.

As for the other reason...... He's a nobleman! If a commoner awakens and becomes a transcendent, can he be called a genius?

Even if Charles is a recognized genius, the moment he opened the Bow of the Moon Shadow just now, he felt that he was beyond his strength, his rank was still too low, it was one thing to be able to sense the Bow of the Moon Shadow, and it was another thing to be able to exert its combat form, and it was too reluctant to drive the Bow of the Moon Shadow with its ninth-rank strength.

But fortunately, just when Charles felt that his strength was exhausted and had no choice but to finish the shot hastily, a force suddenly generated in his body, like a flowing stream, although it was not turbulent but endless, just enough to make up for the huge consumption of the Bow of the Moon Shadow.

It's just that Charles's body is a little uncomfortable with this level of spiritual power control, and there is a pinprick-like stabbing pain in his arms, chest, and waist, which should be a slight injury to his muscles.

The six-foot-long white giant wolf fell to the ground, and the green field suddenly fell into a brief silence, and then a dull sound of horses' hooves sounded in the small canyon, first noisy and chaotic, and gradually transformed into heavy and neat, obviously those knights were very good at controlling horses, and formed a battle formation in a narrow space with only a short distance.

Charles also moved, and his legs clamped violently on the belly of the big black horse, and the big black horse let out a long, mournful neigh, and ran forward resignedly.

There is danger ahead, but ...... This fat knight in my body is even more dangerous, my life ...... Why is Ma Sheng so unlucky!

"Ready!"

Seeing Charles's move, Byrne immediately changed the long cavalry lance from a vertical to a flat end, leaned forward with his legs clamped, and the rest of the cavalry behind him made a similar move, and the entire horizontal cavalry formation was about to start sprinting.

The enemy in the canyon obviously already knows the ambush at the exit of the canyon, and they must be on high alert when they rush out, Bourne and the others need to make a suitable prediction and choose the best time to sprint, preferably when the enemy has just rushed out of the valley, their horse speed can be raised to the highest, and they just collide with the enemy.

If they start too early, then the enemy will rush out of the valley and they will rush over, and if they start too late, the enemy will already break out of the valley and disperse, and the impact of the horizontal cavalry formation will not be able to play at all.

"Captain, wait a minute, look at that guy...... Earl ....."

Just as Byrne gritted his teeth and was about to ride out, Geson, who was at the rear, suddenly reminded him. Then Byrne saw Charles speeding across the field pointing the red flag diagonally upwards and forward, at an angle of forty-five degrees to the ground.

This is a standard military flag that means to be ready to charge.

"That guy....... Do you understand tactics?"

Byrne only hesitated for half a second before deciding to follow Charles' command, because Charles' position could see the situation in the small canyon, and now it was up to Charles to grasp the timing of the battle.

The sound of horses' hooves in the canyon was already close to the ears, and because of the echo of the valley, the rumbling sound caused great pressure on Bourne and the others.

Ten seconds later, the red flag in Charles' hand suddenly turned horizontal, and the flagpole made of rough wooden forks pointed straight to the exit of the canyon.

"Hah!"

Byrne let out a loud shout, and the front hooves of the war horse under him soared into the air, and then jumped out, Foreman and the others followed closely behind.

As soon as Byrne's horse team burst out of the woods, there was an enemy cavalry outcropping in the small canyon, because the enemy's cavalry was long enough to charge, so their horse speed was obviously faster than that of Bourne and others, so it seems that Bourne and the others were slightly late in their sprint, and the enemy's light cavalry had precious reaction time.

Sure enough, after the enemy light cavalry who rushed out of the canyon found Byrne and the others, they quickly removed the shield in their hands and raised the spear in their right hand. Although the strength of the sideways spear throwing is not high enough, it can disrupt the impact formation of Bourne and the others, and slow down their acceleration.

The distance between the two cavalry teams was only thirty meters, and Bourne and the others could not choose to attack with spears or bows and arrows, but could only choose long cavalry spears. Because if they couldn't switch weapons with spears and arrows, they would crash into the ranks of the Engro light cavalry. However, after throwing away the spear, the Englu light cavalry could rely on the advantage of horse speed to get away from the impact of Bourne and others laterally.

"Alas, it's a little late!" Byrne was about to order his comrades to raise their shields to defend after secretly regretting in his heart, but the corners of his eyes suddenly moved, and a sharp whistling sound sounded in his ears, and the enemy light cavalry team that rushed out came to a halt.

One neigh, two neighing, three neighing, three neighing, three neighing in a row, the three horses at the front of the Engelu light cavalry fell to the ground almost simultaneously, obstructing the passage of the cavalry comrades behind them.

"Well done!"

Byrne was overjoyed, he had just noticed the lightning bolt of arrows across the field, and from the direction of the Charles, it was Charles's handiwork, and after such a clever blocking assist, Engru's cavalry was suddenly chaotic and crowded, and the spears in the hands of the cavalry were only very small, and the accuracy was ridiculously off.

In addition, in order to throw spears, they stretched their bodies, and the shields in their left hands were very inadequate, and the spears of Bourne and others easily pierced them under their horses.

"Boom!"

The two cavalry teams collided together, Bourne and the others threw away their cavalry guns, blocked them with shields, and then pulled out their heavy knightly swords, and hurried to carry out the second round of slashing in the process of this charge, the thickness of the Engelu cavalry was only three rows, and the contact time of the two cavalry teams was only a few seconds, and then Bourne and the others would stab through.

In these few seconds, the originally silent field was like purgatory on earth, the cavalry pierced by the spear, the warrior whose neck was cut off by the long sword, and the war horse who was knocked down by the arrow and knocked down by the horse, could not swallow his breath for a while, so he put all the strength at the end of his life into his voice, and the cries of human pain mixed with the wails and neighs of the horses were mixed with the distant transmission, and the wild creatures in this field were frightened and fled.

Byrne and the others did not slow down after stabbing through the Engelul ranks, but spread out slightly, covering their shields behind their backs and continuing to rush forward, and the feathered arrows behind them quickly caught up, making a clanging sound on the shields.

Gesen, who had been cruising outside the team and killing the enemy with a bow and arrow, also rode his horse and followed, and said with some sadness: "Captain..... Kermande didn't keep up....."

"I know...... It was a successful raid, and Kermand's sacrifice was worth it!" Byrne's expression remained firm, cold and unjoyful.

Foreman and the others did not say anything, but they all agreed with Byrne's words in their hearts, in this small-scale raid, Byrne's cavalry squad was absolutely inferior in numbers, and knocked down thirteen Engru warriors with one blow, and he only paid the sacrifice of Kermand alone, and the results were very amazing.

You must know that there is a big difference between the knights and the cavalry regiment, most of the cavalry of the cavalry regiment are from civilian backgrounds, while the soldiers of the knights are all noble children or noble servants who have received knightly education since childhood, both in terms of training and combat skills, they are far higher than ordinary cavalry.

"We still have five people now, do we want to continue to hit head-on?"

Seeing that Bourne turned the horse's head and signaled Foreman and the others to straighten out the formation, Gesen hesitated, the terrain and timing just now were favorable to his side, so he was able to fight a surprise battle, and now the Engeluls have also begun to reorganize the formation, and if the cavalry hedges on both sides, there will be no more luck like just now.

"No, there are six of us!"
