Chapter 126: Half-Armored Cavalry
And they came. ”
There was another army in sight of the knights of Diwu, well-armed in white armor with fur inlays, and their swords eager to drink blood.
These were the regular troops of Irontooth brought out by Lancelot, and they cooperated with the knights and later soldiers brought by the Marquis of Asa to ambush the reinforcements that Count Deai might send.
Thankfully, they didn't waste their time in vain.
"Sure enough, you guessed it. The Marquis of Asa, wearing a white armor, said with emotion: "But can we attack?"
He watched as the army slowly walked into their encirclement, but Lancelot didn't have the slightest intention of giving the order to do it, and couldn't help but remind him.
"Please wait. Lancelot, however, did not seem to be in a hurry, he was still quietly observing.
Marquis Asa didn't say much when he saw this, he was now loyal to Jason, and he still had to ensure a certain amount of respect for Jason's direct subordinates, he was not the kind of person who would interfere indiscriminately on the basis of his relationship.
However, with his military ability and government affairs handling ability, he should soon be able to get the reuse of his little nephew.
"Archer salvo!" Watching this thousand-strong army slowly enter the encirclement and then walk out, even though the people in front had already left their encirclement, Lancelot suddenly gave the order.
The soldiers in ambush stood up and bent their bows and arrows, and powerful arrows rained down into the sky, piercing through the bodies of the soldiers under Count Deay's men before they could react.
"Enemy attack!" one soldier yelled bitterly, but the rough and narrow mountain road made their line a little long, making it difficult to balance the end of the line.
"My lord, the people behind have been attacked!" the men at the front of the army immediately went to report to the Diwu Knights.
"Everyone immediately organize a defense and prepare to counterattack!" Diwu pushed the soldier aside, his eyes were not blind, could he not see such a big movement?
"What a bold man!" he didn't expect that someone from the lord here would dare to make a move against Count Deay's men, so he had been unvigilant about nearby movements along the way.
"Kill the enemy with me!"
He drew his sword with a thud, and roared at the archers in the heights with a look of rage.
After the initial confusion, the army of Count Deai soon revolted, and the shield-wielding infantry stood in the front and began to move slowly up the hill, still overwhelmingly superior in numbers. As long as they can suppress the enemy's archers, they will have a chance to fight back.
"Lord Marquis will wait here first, and I will go and take the head of the enemy general. Lancelot said a word to the Marquis of Asa, then turned on his horse and stared at the Diwu knight who was commanding the army in the distance.
"Be careful. Marquis Asa said in a deep voice.
Lancelot nodded, spear in hand, and rushed down the hill with his horse's belly in his hand, the extraordinary power on his body violently vibrating black light.
The Marquis of Asa turned to see the soldier who was about to rush to the high ground in the rain of arrows drew his sword, and he was accompanied by two knightly guards.
"Prepare for battle!"
He shouted at the soldiers behind him, and then took the lead in rushing forward with his shield under the protection of the two knights.
After the two armies came into contact, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the sword of one of the Deai soldiers slashed into the armor of the Iron Fang Leader, and he was shocked to find that he could not cut through it at all, and then the sword was sent to his chest by the Iron Fang Leader soldier with a hideous face.
Before the Ironfang could draw his sword from his foe, an axe slashed at his unguarded neck, sending blood gushing out.
..................
"My lord, are you calling me?" A mid-term voice came as a soldier in half-length light armor with gray hair knelt in front of Jason with an ancient bow and arrow.
Another character card?Jason was a little surprised, this is really surprising, he has already lost interest in this prize, but he didn't expect the system to give him a surprise.
Name: Harris
Race: Terran
Class: Archer (Instructor)
Grade: Exquisite
Introduction: A veteran who has been discharged from the battlefield and has mastered his riding and archery skills with one hand.
Evaluation: The ultra-mobile archers are undoubtedly ghosts on the battlefield, and the arrival of this man can train an invincible army of archers for adults.
After reading the introduction, Jason couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, the most important thing in his territory is the archer, and the system gave himself a tasteless character this time.
"Harris, you stand up first. ”
Jason, who was slightly disappointed, whispered to Harris, who was kneeling on the ground, this was a kind of respect for the elderly, after all, he looked like he was definitely over half a hundred years old.
"Thank you, sir!" Harris's mid-term voice echoed through the hall.
"Harris, I'll arrange things for you when I get back to the territory. Jason looked at him carefully for a moment before speaking.
Because this Harris looked gray-haired and had a lot of wrinkles on his face, Jason felt that he had guessed his age a little less before, and it didn't matter if he had an extra person in the territory.
"My lord, if you wish, your subordinates can use my bow and arrows to gallop on the battlefield. Harris also seemed to see Jason's contempt, and said in a serious and low tone, which made Fox, who seemed to have nothing to do with him with a foreign object, also couldn't help but look sideways.
"You're mistaken, I want you to train archers for me when you return to the territory. Seeing this, Jason hurriedly spoke: "There are still many places in the territory where you can be used in the future." ”
"All of my subordinates are all capable of archery on horseback, and it is a bit ...... to train ordinary archers," Harris said and stopped, thinking that his simple training of archers was a bit condescending.
"Is it very difficult to ride and shoot?" Jason is a complete layman, he thinks that the northern hunters are not weak in archery, as long as they are trained in riding skills, it should be easy to do horse archery, right?
"Archery with horses is two completely different skills. Harris replied with a bowed head.
"I see, let's decide to train the archers when I return to the territory. Jason groaned and promised, so that there were two more things that he needed to solve as soon as possible.
However, the most important thing in the north is land, and after the beginning of spring, you can try to find a place to build horse farms and pastures, but the clammy and cold climate of the iron tooth collar is not suitable for pasture growth, and you may need to find substitutes or import them from other places.
Maybe colonization is also a good choice, I heard that there are a lot of good pastures in the Susin Kingdom, Jason touched his chin and thought.
"Go down and rest first, and I'll tell you about something." He looked up at the two people in the hall, always feeling that it would be awkward for him to have someone next to him during the draw.
"Yes, sir. Harris bowed and said, while Fox still bowed slightly in response to Jason's face with a cold face.
"system, the third premium draw begins. After the two of them retreated, Jason planned to strike while the iron was hot.
"At the beginning of the lottery, 1,000 points have been deducted from the host, and the remaining points of the host are 243 points, please make persistent efforts to earn more points in case you need them. ”
"Alright, tell me what the prize for this draw is. Jason waved his hand in disgust.
