1. Whirlwind Iron Ride

The north wind is blowing slightly, the north wind in October is already carrying a hint of chill, the sunset is already approaching the horizon, sprinkling the last golden afterglow, and it will be dark in an hour or so. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the sky, a golden-eyed divine eagle circled, landed on the ground, and landed on Yang Siqi's shoulder. After a while, Yang Siqi said: "The enemy's wolf cavalry of 13,000 men is twelve miles in front of us, and it is about to approach us. ”

He said as he sketched out the map with pen and paper: "Right here." ”

Ma Mengshi smiled and said, "Siqi, with your help, we are really equivalent to an extra 100,000 soldiers." ”

Behind the two of them, there were a full five thousand cavalry, these five thousand soldiers were resting, Ma Mengshi waved her hand, and Ma Yuyao beside her ordered: "First-level combat readiness." ”

The five thousand soldiers all jumped up from the ground, untied the packages on the ground, took out pieces of armor from them, and first helped their horses put on heavy armor. The five thousand cavalry were all heavy cavalry.

The tall horses were covered in heavy armor, and the shining pure steel armor shone in the setting sun, and at a glance they knew that they were the best goods. The warriors also began to put on their own heavy armor. In a normal human army, heavy cavalry would have to be helped by a few knightly servants in order to complete their attire. But these 5,000 warriors did not need any minions. However, the heavy armor weighing hundreds of catties was as light as nothing on their bodies, and it did not affect their actions at all, so it can be seen that each of these five thousand warriors has a strong strength.

On the left chest of the armor of these five thousand warriors, there is a whirlwind pattern, yes, this is their number, the newly formed Tianma Legion, nominally belongs to the Pegasus Legion, but in essence, it belongs to an elite of the Ma family's private army: the Whirlwind Battalion.

On the Victory Hook hung an eight-foot-long spear, and on its back was a large bow, which did not seem to be made of wood, but rather of steel, and the bowstring was thicker than that of ordinary bowstrings. On the right side of the rib hangs a quiver. On the left side of the horse hangs a three-and-a-half-foot-long scimitar around its neck.

Such equipment is fundamentally different from the cavalry of other kingdoms on the earth. Cavalry, there are archers, light horses, heavy horses, etc., and their equipment is also different. But this Whirlwind Battalion has all the equipment of the three types of cavalry, which is really weird.

The shadow of the orc wolf cavalry can already be seen in the distance. Ma Mengshi took a deep breath and drank: "Attack." ”

Five thousand horsemen galloped out like a whirlwind, rolling up a cloud of dust on the earth. The thunderous sound of hooves arose, and the whole earth was almost shaken.

Yang Siqi also followed the charge, but by his side, there were eight secret guard masters of the Ma family to protect him. Now, all the Pegasus Legion know that anyone can make a mistake, but this uncle of the Ma family can't make a mistake.

There are still four hundred zhang from the wolf cavalry. Ma Mengshi drank: "Bow." ”

The five thousand warriors took the big bow from their backs, took out the long arrows in their right hands, wound them up, and took aim at each of them. Although they were on top of the galloping horses, their movements were not out of shape at all.

The arrows flew out of the air, swishing, and the long arrows pierced the space, and in an instant, they had already shot into the body of the wolf cavalry, shooting one wolf cavalry after another under the giant wolf.

Three rounds of arrows were fired. The Whirlwind Battalion was already on the verge of rushing in front of the wolf cavalry. With the bow on his back, he took off the spear in his right hand, and laid it flat in front of the warhorse, and the whole iron cavalry rushed into the formation of the wolf cavalry like a whirlwind.

The wolf cavalry made this cavalry stupid. They are not stupid, they know at a glance that this is a heavy cavalry, and the assault force of the heavy cavalry is naturally very powerful, but this heavy cavalry suddenly became an archer. Three rounds of arrows fell, and at least more than 3,700 wolf cavalrymen were shot down, and more than 2,000 were wounded. The entire force had already suffered more than a third of the casualties at once. What kind of heavy cavalry is this, its archery is much stronger than that of the archers.

If you lose a third of your troops before you fight, no matter how strong your troops are, your morale will collapse. Then let this heavy cavalry whirlwind into it. The terrible spear pierces the wolf cavalry warriors like a string of sugar gourds.

The wolf cavalry is definitely not weak, their scimitars are slashed at the opponent's body, but the heavy armor on the body of these heavy cavalry does not know what it is made of, and the defense is very strong, and their scimitars are incomprehensible.

The spears of the Whirlwind Battalion looked at the leather armor of the wolf cavalry as nothing. What's even more terrifying is that the speed of this heavy cavalry is not slower than the speed of their wolf cavalry, no, it should be said that it is faster. This made the wolf cavalry collapse.

The defense is stronger than that of regular heavy cavalry, the speed is faster than that of light cavalry, and the archery is more accurate than that of cavalry archers. What kind of cavalry is such a cavalry?

Ma Mengshi rushed into the enemy formation first, slashing left and right with the Tianfeng Sword in her right hand, and had already slashed seven horses in a row, and in front of her, there was no one who could join her. And Ma Qing under her step is a saint-level demonic beast, those giant wolves have already softened their feet when they sense Ma Qing's breath, and they don't even dare to run. How could a giant wolf whose strength was only a second-level demon dare to be presumptuous in front of a saint-level demonic beast?

Battles, which happen suddenly, end faster. In just fifteen minutes, the thirteen,000 wolf cavalry were all on the ground. Encountering such a strange cavalry, the wolf cavalry is not even qualified to escape. Because, the speed is not as good as the opponent, and the opponent will attack from a distance, can you run away?

"Clean up the battlefield, count the casualties, and retreat in five minutes." Ma Mengshi ordered.

Five minutes later, the battlefield had been roughly cleaned, and the casualties had been counted: "Report to the commander-in-chief, our army has been wounded twelve people, and there are no casualties. ”

"Okay, retreat." Ma Mengshi nodded, the Whirlwind Camp did not disappoint her.

The Whirlwind Camp vanished below the horizon like a gust of wind. It wasn't until an hour later that another unit of wolf cavalry arrived on the battlefield, but all they saw was the corpses of men and giant wolves all over the ground.

"Spears, arrows, scimitars. The hoof prints are not shallow, they are the hoof prints only of the heavy cavalry. Hell, what kind of class is this? "The commander of this rescue force is Wolf Leehom of the Wolf Clan, a famous warrior among the Wolf Clan. He took a closer look at the battlefield and concluded that it was caused by an extremely strange cavalry.

Two days later, the commander of the Seventh Legion of the Orcs, Leopard Chong, received a report: "The conscripts in the rear have been attacked. Half of the grain and grass of our army was burned by the enemy, and the losses were heavy. ”

"What kind of enemy attack?" Leopard Chong asked with a deep sigh.

"It's a Pegasus heavy cavalry. But the heavy cavalry was armed with spears, scimitars, and bows and arrows, and was faster than the wolf cavalry. When our convoy and its escorts discovered its surprise attack, they had already caused heavy casualties in the rain of arrows before they could react. And under the leadership of Ma Mengshi's mother-in-law, they broke through the defense line of our army and burned our army's grain and grass with a large amount of oil. "The reporter made it very clear.

"A heavy cavalry faster than the wolf cavalry?" Leopard Chong felt that his mind couldn't turn.

Everyone knows that although the assault force of the heavy cavalry is strong, the speed is a short board, even if it is equipped with an excellent war horse, after all, the weight of the war horse is so large, the horse is wearing heavy armor, and the warrior is wearing heavy armor, these two sets of heavy armor add up to no less than two hundred catties, plus the weight of the person, such a large weight is pressed on the war horse, and the speed of the war horse can be so fast that there is a ghost.

Heavy cavalry can never outrun light cavalry, this is military common sense. Now, however, this strange cavalry has broken this common sense. But it also has unusually serious consequences, a heavy cavalry that is faster than light cavalry, facing all the other cavalry is a massacre, what if it is against the infantry? Needless to say, needless to say, with a gun and a bayonet, even if a man and a horse collide, it is enough to kill a person.

Such a cavalry moves in the vicinity of its own army, like a poisonous snake, and pounces on it and bites it whenever it has the opportunity, but the consequences are too much for the orcs to bear. In just two or three days, the Seventh Army had already lost 13,000 wolf cavalry, half of the grain and grass, and the casualties of the conscripts reached more than 20,000. There are still three days to go before we reach Pegasus City, how can this battle continue?

"Commander, I'm afraid that the Ma family's horse breeding skills have made a new breakthrough, four years ago, their flying horses have already caused us heavy losses, this time, they are only afraid that they are using their secret methods to raise a group of horses with strong responsibility, only in this way, they can form such a cavalry." The deputy commander of the Seventh Legion, Bao Hai, said.

The camp generals nodded in agreement. In fact, it is not very difficult to form such a heavy cavalry, as long as there are war horses with enough negative gravity. It is equivalent to a heavy tank on earth, and the most critical thing is its engine. If the engine doesn't work, everything else is not tied.

"I think the opinion of the deputy commander of the leopard army may not be accurate, and I suspect that the Ma family may even use their financial resources to buy a large number of horse monsters above level four. If it's just a war horse, I'm afraid it doesn't have such an ability. A general spoke. The generals regarded it, but it was the commander of the Fourth Army.

"Oh?" Leopard Hai was a little unhappy, "Captain Wolf, what basis do you have?" ”

"Ma Mengshi's mother-in-law, she is extraordinary in her use of soldiers, and our Seventh Legion has fought against her for many years, but we have not taken any advantage. In the past, she relied on the geographical advantages of Tianma City, but now, she is unusual, and when our army is heading south, she leads her troops out of the customs to meet the battle, and our army is outside Tianma City. There is no doubt that she relied on this cavalry that she had secretly assembled. And if she wants to do mobile combat and not fall into the encirclement of our army, she must move at high speed, so that the requirements for mounts are extremely high, and ordinary war horses are impossible to do, and the only thing that can be done is only Warcraft. ”

The generals nodded, and the wolf's words seemed more convincing. According to the report, the number of this cavalry is 5,000, and with 5,000 heavy cavalry, they dare to go out to meet the battle, and regard the 400,000 army of the Seventh Army as nothing, which is certainly not that the combat effectiveness of these 5,000 soldiers is stronger than that of the 400,000 army, but that Ma Mengshi believes that their mounts run fast and will not fall into the encirclement of the enemy.

Heavy cavalry to fight guerrilla warfare, this is really a test of the ability of war horses, plus this is a heavy cavalry, responsible for three or four hundred catties can also run faster than light cavalry for a long time, if it is a war horse, there is almost no such possibility, on the contrary, it is possible for Warcraft.

The reason why the wolf cavalry is famous all over the world is because their mount is a second-level demonic beast giant wolf, not only is it as fast as the wind, but its weight-bearing capacity is not weak, and it also has long strength. Warcraft is far stronger than ordinary animals.

However, are Warcraft so easy to raise? If it was so easy to raise, I was afraid that whether it was humans or orcs, it would have already been raised on a large scale. It is precisely because Warcraft is difficult to raise, wild and untamable, it is easy to raise a few, but large-scale breeding is impossible. So far, there are only two types of monsters that can be used as mounts on a large scale. One is the wolf cavalry of the orcs, and the other is the Blazing Light Horse of the Temple of Light, which is also a second-level demonic beast.

"The Ma family has a saint-level lightning chasing horse Ma Qing, as a saint-level monster, it has a very big deterrent effect on horse monsters, if the Ma family lets Ma Qing take action, suppress a group of horse monsters, and then, and then use excellent mares to mate with these horse monsters, you can give birth to a new generation of war horses with the bloodline of monsters. If the Ma family has any secret methods that can provide enough nutrients, it is not impossible for these new generation of war horses with Warcraft bloodlines to grow into Warcraft. In this way, the Warcraft War Horse that has been cultivated since childhood becomes possible. Wolf Ju said lightly.

The generals were stunned: "This ......"

"This is the only way I can think of, if I rely on capturing adult horse-like monsters to domesticate, I'm afraid that the Ma family doesn't have such ability, but the next generation born through mating is not impossible."

"So, we can also use the same method to cultivate the same Warcraft mounts?" The eyes of the generals began to burn.

"It is possible to do this, but it requires huge financial support, and it will take at least hundreds of gold coins to train such a war horse, and it may not even be possible. The Ma family has money, but we don't. The wolf mercilessly shattered the thoughts of the generals.
