On the afternoon of July 20, Spencer rode his horse and walked unhurriedly along the road.

According to the analysis, the enemy should not be killed so quickly, but it must not be guarded, he rode on his horse and looked around, paying attention to every corner of the roadside.

Before the two armies come into close combat, the scouts on both sides will actually engage in a battle - this is a lesson that the king taught them.

While spells can sometimes replace the Scout, most of these spells are expensive, and there are definitely fewer mages who can use spells than those who can be scouts, which means that scouts are still indispensable on the battlefield.

They would come in advance in the direction of the army's advance, probe the enemy, test the traps, and sometimes meet the enemy scouts in a narrow way.

Killing an enemy scout is equivalent to destroying one of their eyes, and losing on the scout's battlefield will result in a loss in the battle of the great army.

For the scout personally, if he can't kill the other party, he may be killed by the other party, so this can be said to be a life-saving technique, and Spencer naturally does not dare to be careless.

At this moment, he suddenly saw several birds flying in the distance - an abnormal phenomenon.

Although it could be a large animal or an innocent pedestrian, the possibility of an enemy could not be ruled out, and he checked his equipment, grinned, put his left wrist to his mouth, and blew the whistle attached to his bracer.

The whistle emits the call of a bird, long and short, seemingly chaotic, but in fact there is some inner law hidden.

Soon, another rider came from the side path and came to his side.

The two exchanged a few words in a low voice, and Spencer took the lead, one after the other, running in that direction.

From the perspective of the enemy scouts, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and then two horsemen appeared, galloping towards them.

Although there was only one of the scouts, when he saw that the other man did not bring a bow and arrows or a spear, and that the horses were of average size and did not seem to be very skillful, he relied on his skill in bowing and horses, and decided to fight.

The Belan Federation has a lot of grasslands, as well as good horses, and has cultivated many excellent cavalry, and they naturally have a sense of pride in the cavalry of Upper Lothar.

I saw that while he was trotting on his horse, he took his bow and arrows and shot at the cavalry led by him.

The arrow was so precise that it landed Spencer in the chest, but Spencer only felt like he had been punched, he tightened his grip on the reins, stepped on the stirrups, and did not fall off his horse.

Beran Scout was not stupid, and he immediately suspected that the other party's bulging chest cloth was actually hidden under the iron armor.

Although it is possible to shoot another arrow at Spencer's unprotected face, this requires more precision, and it is not easy to shoot accurately on the horse, and if the shot misses, the opponent can approach the front and pick up the sword and slash.

He immediately put away his bow and arrows, and drew the saber from his waist.

Beran's cavalry, even with their swords, had the confidence to take out an enemy as soon as they came up, turning the battle to one.

This is also the experience that has been summed up in many years of war. The sabers of the Beran Federation have been improved three times in a hundred years, and there are many masters who have specially summed up their experience and compiled teaching materials, how can ordinary wild road cavalry compare with it?

However, he saw another rider behind the man lift a strange object, like an elongated funnel, if I had to describe it—

The smoke cleared, and before he realized what was happening, he felt a burning pain in his face and arm, and suddenly lost sight in one eye, and at the same time, his strength was gradually draining.

When he realized that he had been seriously injured for some reason, he had fallen off his horse.

Blood flowed rapidly from his head, face, eyes, arms, and other places, staining half of his body red.

=====================================================

"Tsk, even his parents don't recognize him now. ”

The cavalry captain looked at the disgraced corpse and couldn't help but sigh, and then turned to Spencer as if he remembered something, and said, "I don't think this is like the effect of a shot, right?"

So far, only two accidental human corpses have been used for experiments, and other animals such as pigs and sheep have been used for experiments, but the power of the pistol can be generally understood.

The pistols that Loming equipped his cavalry with could fire shotguns, iron sand, or individual large lead bullets, each of which had been tested several times.

And the corpse that has been brought back now has obviously been shot more than once.

"Actually, he was still moving after he was shot off the horse, and I remembered that the king said that the vitality of the strong man is tenacious, so I shot him in the neck. Spencer said embarrassedly.

"Forget it, I don't blame you. It's better to spend a little more gunpowder than to be in danger. The captain smiled and said, "I think this guy has very strong muscles, and he also has calluses on his saber on his hands, so he may have a fighting spirit." Two shots ended him up, and he wasn't hurt at all, so it seems that you earned it. ”

Then, the captain kept the body intact and went to inform Luo Ming.

Soon Luo Ming arrived, and he first hastily rewarded Spencer and others for bringing back the corpse and the horse, and then began to concentrate on studying the corpse and the horse with Pelodiana.

In any case, I still have to admit that the Beran Federation is good at cavalry, and even a scout cavalry has a lot to learn.

But this is secondary, after all, Aya actually knows a lot, and the more important thing is his equipment and the state of the war horse he is riding.

Based on this, it is possible to deduce a little what kind of army the enemy is.

"This unlucky ghost is actually very strong, his leg bones are deformed into a state suitable for riding, maybe he has more than ten years of horseback riding experience, and your soldiers will be damaged if they don't have secret weapons......

As for the horse, although it was not dissected to see its stomach, it was obviously very well nourished, and it was probably fed with concentrate for a few days before the expedition. However, after a few days of rapid marching, it has already lost some weight, and the army on the opposite side is probably preparing to take advantage of the autumn harvest to grab grain and feed the horses. Pelodiana spoke her judgment as best she could.

After listening to Pelodiana's report, Luo Ming thought about it, talked to Aya in his mind, and at the same time asked someone to summon it to other nobles, and it didn't take long for the discovery of enemy scouts to spread among the coalition forces.

Luo Ming immediately changed his plan and sent an order to the coalition forces to abandon some of the unfinished fortifications and finish them as soon as possible, and after half an hour, the construction work was completed and the state of combat readiness was restored

Next, it was almost time for the enemy to arrive, depending on whether they were ready to fight in the evening or the next day.
