Chapter 57: Scouts

The snow-covered wasteland is still a dead silence, and the cold snow devils still rule the land.

There were two orc tribes camping nearby, but before the big war started, the two armies could only stay in the camp and face each other across the wasteland, and they didn't mean to stand guard outside and get cold.

Just today, on this silent snowfield, there was finally a little different movement, and the sentry in charge of monitoring the kobold tribe saw from a distance that there were a few strange colors approaching from the left side of the camp against the snow-white background.

The kobolds hurriedly opened their eyes wide and looked at the movement, the shadows on the snow were getting closer and closer, and by the time they were a mile away, the kobolds' eyes had seen very clearly that these bold guys were actually a few lonely centaurs.

The sentry guards hurriedly reported the situation, and soon, the kobold patriarch received the news, and then immediately after, one after another the guards passed their respective news, and the kobold patriarch found that the centaurs near the camp were not alone, at this time, there were also unkind centaurs approaching the camp before and after, and his tribe was already surrounded by a centaur army.

The kobold patriarch was taken aback, the centaur tribe, surrounded himself? When did he provoke the centaur tribe? This is not a good thing, you must know that in this wasteland, compared to orcs like kobolds and cat people, centaurs are also considered to be strong, and what is worse for this kobold tribe is that the combat power of the centaur tribe may not be terrible, what is terrible is that the strong mobility and pursuit ability of the centaurs are the enemies of the weak races.

The kobold patriarch did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and hurriedly ordered the elite of his clan to prepare for the whole army, although the centaur arrived only in a small force, and the large army did not know where it was, but it was always good to deal with it carefully, it really didn't work, then everyone was ready, can't you still escape, although with the foot power of the kobold people, surrounded by the centaurs to escape, the kobold patriarch himself is not optimistic, but this is not, the enemy's brigade has not yet arrived.

So, there was a mess in the camp, and the kobolds came out in a whole group to greet them, and after a while, two phalanxes of fifteen rows and thirty people stood side by side in front of the camp. The kobolds of this tribe seem to have learned from the Boers when they fight, and they have learned a little decently.

Until the kobold array was completed, Zhang Quan's brigade had not yet arrived.

The nine hundred kobold soldiers faced dozens of centaurs, and it did seem a bit outnumbered.

But even so, the scouts of the base mountain tribes around the kobold camp did not flinch, but felt a little eager to try.

They gradually gathered together in three or five, and slowly formed a large group, slowly trotting around the formation of kobolds, although there were not many of them, but they were full of courage, like vultures in the wasteland that had not yet fallen prey.

Dada, dada, dada, sparse horses' hooves fell to the ground, splashing snowflakes......

……

Thor, the leader of the scout team, is a young centaur with a stubborn and aggressive personality, a rare outlier in the centaur group, who dreamed of going to war when he was a child, fighting with the powerful orcs Tiger and Ryan, and being a hero in the wasteland. But as a tribesman in a small centaur tribe of only more than 100 people, he could only follow the tribe with the flow, and it was difficult for him to have this opportunity.

But since the tribe came west to join the base mountain tribe, his opportunity finally came, because he likes to practice martial arts, his physique is stronger than other clansmen, he is preferentially selected as a scout, becoming the elite of the tribe's standing soldiers.

Thor trained harder and mastered all kinds of combat skills, although he didn't understand why he had such a strange name as Scout when he was a scout, but it didn't prevent him from quickly standing out from most of the scouts of his own clan and being promoted to Scout squad leader.

The scout squad consists of ten people and is divided into two groups, all of whom belong to Bergkenya, and are the eyes of the army of the base mountain tribes.

Before the army could engage the enemy, the battle of the scouts had already begun, and Thor and his squad took off the helmet arm guards and the upper body armor and fish scale armor from the camels that accompanied the team, helped each other to equip them, checked the assembled hunting bows and arrows, and after a short time finished arming, approached around the enemy to keep an eye on them.

The lack of seeing the enemy's scouts made him very unhappy, and he originally wanted to lead his men to rush and kill for a while to earn a first merit?

……

At this time, the big tent of the limestone department of the cat people.

"Patriarch! It's coming, it's coming! Reinforcements from the mountain tribe are coming! Cartess' men screamed and broke into the tent.

"Are you sure, it's from the base mountain tribe?" Carters Limestone asked.

"Yes, definitely! I've seen Ryans and them come with me,"

After listening to his subordinates' answers, Carters was a little relieved, the situation around him was very dangerous now, and he didn't want to be inexplicably capsized in the gutter.

He ordered his men to assemble with him, and then led his men to prepare to meet them out of the camp, and then before he reached the gate, he saw several of his own sentry guards rolling in and shouting at himself:

"Patriarch! Patriarch, that's not right! Why is it that the friendly forces of this base mountain have even surrounded our camp. ”

Carters' heart sank, and he hurriedly walked out of the gate in three steps and five steps, and when he saw it, it was not, the centaur cavalry running back and forth not far away, with iron hooves flying and rushing through, but it was not exactly like the gate of his own camp was sealed.

And behind this group of centaur cavalry, there are more, boundless arrays of centaurs, each covered with armor, not even his face leaks, his whole body is shining with silver, with earth-shaking thunder, rumbling, rumbling from afar.

Carters and the cats behind him all turned green when they looked at this majesty.

……

Thor and their side have begun to attack,

His men had gathered three squads and thirty centaurs, and Thor felt that he could rush the kobolds' military formation, and kill the enemy's sharpness before the arrival of the group, which was also the duty of the so-called scouts that Thor himself had figured out. He persuaded his companions.

"We are the strongest, the mighty," he said to his companions, "look at the kobolds on the other side, look at their weapons and armor, look at their eyes, they are afraid, they are afraid because we are strong!"

"We have the strongest weapons, we wear the strongest armor, and the bows and arrows we shoot are so sharp that they can pierce any enemy. We don't need our army at all, we can take them down with a single charge! ”

He looked at his companions, and one by one his expressions began to be excited, his swollen neck and green tendons bulged, and he looked fiercely at the enemy opposite.

"Follow me, come on! Charge together! Prove our bravery with victory! ”

Shout and turn around and rush towards the enemy first.

The most elite centaur cavalry of these base mountain tribes all followed behind him, forming a tight charging array, rushing towards the kobolds' military formation.

On the opposite side of them, the kobolds were stunned, nine hundred to thirty, such a disparity in proportion, even if the tiger man and the lion man came, they wouldn't dare to be so brave! Before their outnumbered side could attack, the handful of centaurs rushed up.

The kobolds had to defend on the spot, they were not as fast as the centaurs, nor did they have decent long weapons, only the poor short soldiers in their hands, and the formation stood closer to resist the impact of the centaurs, who knew that these shrewd centaurs seemed to rush over the team, and when they came to the front less than a few dozen meters away, they suddenly made a turn, and the whole team of Qi brushed around the front of the kobolds.

Although the enemy phalanx did not look very good, it was impossible to stop the charge of the iron-clad centaurs. But - scouts are the most valuable class of troops in our army, and each one of them is a warrior who must not fight the enemy head-on! Saul remembers Zhang Quan's teachings clearly.

The centaurs led by Thor rushed at high speed in front of the kobolds, bringing up a strong wind that carried the snow and ice in the sky, and then at the moment of turning, the centaur cavalry whistled in unison, and dozens of centaurs raised their hunting bows and shot deadly arrows......

Ride and shoot!

Unlike human beings who have to maintain their center of gravity and disperse their strength when riding a horse, the shape of a centaur is the lower body of the horse, and the upper body is humanoid, and the ability to control their center of gravity and movements during running is their instinct, and they are precisely controlled by the subconscious of the cerebellum at any time.

And Zhang Quan specially prepared the best equipment he could buy for his precious scouts, a high-grade special hunting bow that costs thousands of dollars in the international market of the earth, and the muzzle velocity of the arrow is comparable to that of a pistol bullet, and with a high-specific tungsten alloy arrow of hundreds of dollars, the power is enough to shoot an elephant.

This superb modern weapon in the hands of the centaurs, play an amazing effect, the centaurs riding and shooting is not only riding and shooting, this is the real "unity of men and horses"!

Thirty arrows shot out, almost every one of them hit directly, and the great lethality of tungsten alloy arrows directly pierced the skull and broke the bones, and more than twenty of the kobolds fell down in front of the military formation! Among them, Thor specifically aimed at a leader in full armor in the kobold army, and with an arrow, it went straight through the helmet and plunged deep into the poor guy's skull, revealing only a short bit of the tail of the arrow, this is, a headshot!
