Chapter 024: Field Battle
As soon as I came out of the palace, I saw Illya, fully armed, and waiting at the door with a heavy army horse more than a man high. She was dressed in a characteristic bright silver full-body armor, but it was not bloated or heavy, a cold covered helmet hung from her shoulders, and the above eyes showed two Hessesen holes. On her back, she carried a heraldic shield more than sixty centimeters wide and eighty centimeters long, on which was inlaid with the coat of arms of the Graves family in Mithril. Underneath the heraldic shield is a two-handed sword of war at least one hundred and thirty centimeters long. I noticed that she still had a delicate saber hanging from her waist, with a hilt made of unknown skin.
On horseback, there was also a leather bag containing ten sharp short javelins.
Rhodok, known for his spears, big shields, and strong crossbow throwing spears, when fighting, Rhodok warriors erected their shields and set up four-meter spears, which could even shake the impact of Swadia's elite knights. Rhodok's infantry, on the other hand, often carried ten muskets with them, and when the battle was at a stalemate, a salvo of heavy muskets would ruthlessly tear through the heavy armor of the knights.
And the siege crossbows of Rhodok snipers are even more famous all over the world, and at a distance of 200 meters, the crossbow bolts can shoot through even the thickest war horse vests.
The disadvantage of Rhodok is the cavalry, the ancestors of Rhodok, who were slaves, farmers, and gladiators, did not have the opportunity to learn good horsemanship, and the land of Rhodok, which grew grapes, could not supply the green grass needed by the horses. So to this day, Rhodok has not been able to assemble a cavalry regiment in the whole country.
But the chief of the palace guard in front of him was holding a war horse that was a divine horse wherever it was placed, waiting quietly.
When I saw her, I felt like I was dreaming.
I said, "Are you ready?"
Illya said, "Yes!"
I said, "Follow me, be prepared to suffer and bleed, for we are licking blood from the edge of the knife, unlike your previous idle days in the palace." ”
Illya's eyes flashed, and she didn't say anything.
I nodded, patted her on the shoulder, and as soon as my hand was raised, I saw that Illya's hands in front of me were lightly and mysteriously wrong, and my hands hung limply.
"Well, I can see that you still have some skills, and it seems that we don't need to devote our energy to take care of you this time. He is worthy of being the chief guard of King Griffos's palace. I said.
Illya was silent.
I held back the pain and said, "Okay, now that you've proven your strength, then hurry up and grab my arm." ”
Two days later, we entered the Rana grassland, where endless pastures led to the horizon, and in the distance were heavy mountains.
From here, it was the land of the Kugit Khanate.
Our little team, consisting of me, Jamila, Dryer, and Illya, marched all day through the boundless grasslands. As night approached, pitch your tent on the mountain meadows near Das Befa, a small plateau that extends from the Kulen Mountains, higher than the Rana steppe in front of you, overlooking more than a dozen miles, and a spring not far away, making it a good place to camp.
Illya actually had a tent with her, which made her look different than us mercenaries with sleeping bags. In fact, she didn't talk much along the way, and she only got the briefest answers to any questions she asked, some of which were as short as "yes" and "no".
I decided not to mess with the mysterious goddess of icebergs, and after dinner, I spread out the map around the campfire and researched tomorrow's route.
I said, "We are now in the col about thirty miles north of Das Befa, and we are unfamiliar with the place, and the only way to find Saiga Khan as quickly as possible is to find Fort Uruzdak in the Uruzdak Pass and find out the news." Although it was the closest to cross the Kulen Mountains and reach the mountain pass, it was too dangerous and too difficult for us to prepare even the tools for the mountain path, so we had to go around the Kulen Mountains, from Das Befa to Kedeck, and then north to Uruzdak Fort. By the way, have you listened to me?"
I looked up and saw that the dryer was wiping his iron spine gun again, and Jamila opened a book of poetry with a look of intoxication, and Illya, whose face was expressionless, stared at the fire without saying a word.
I suddenly felt like I was the boss.
Suddenly, Illya stood up, her straight body stretched like a javelin in the night wind.
I also suddenly realized that something was wrong, and a panicked premonition came to my heart.
The dryer stopped wiping the gun, and Jamila closed the book of poems.
There was a faint sound of thunder on the horizon in the distance.
No, it's not thunder, it's the sound of thousands of horses galloping on the grassland.
Smoke and dust rose from the horizon in the distance.
As if she had been whipped, Illya sprang to her feet, kicked up the sand, extinguished the campfire, and whistled at her horse, which lay down in the grass half a man's height.
We hurriedly concocted the same method, and my horse refused to lie down, and I kicked it to the ground with a cross of my heart.
As soon as we took cover, the smoke and dust reached the Lana grassland, a few miles in front of us. At this time, from the opposite side of the smoke, a puff of dust also rose.
None of us dared to say anything, and watched with bated breath.
The smoke and dust slowly stopped, slowly thinning out, and I saw that there were two groups of people in front of me, and the difference in numbers was huge. There are tens of thousands of people in a team, the clothes are messy, some with bows and arrows, some with spears, a little like a bandit in the mountains, the horses under the crotch are also mixed, and there is a black background and a white bird pattern flag erected behind it.
The other pair consisted of only two or three thousand men, all of them in blue leather robes and soft armor in the style of Kugit, with Kugit helmets on their heads, a spear in each of their hands, ten short javelins on their backs, a bow and a pot of arrows hanging from their waists, and fierce white horses under their crotches. At the front of the team is a huge black horse. The two sides stopped, and the team slowly formed a line and stretched out towards the two wings.
I know what the origin of these two groups of people is, the team of tens of thousands of people is the regular army of the Kugit Khanate, and the team of two or three thousand people is the largest resistance organization in Kugit, the black horse Kugit.
A few decades ago, the Kugit was just a huge steppe tribe, and I heard that they had been in the East for a long time, but they were chased by the mysterious Orientals for tens of thousands of miles, and finally drifted to Karadia, so they occupied a large area of pasture, settled down, and established the Kugit Khanate. Another part of the Kugit people said that there is nothing to live in tents, return to the basics and return to nature, and in the future urbanization will develop, sooner or later they will also take the natural and fresh route, maybe they will come to the Kugit grassland to travel, experience the original natural wind farmhouse.
But the Fortifiers did not listen to them, believing that it was fanciful, and they preferred to see tangible benefits in front of them. A polemic broke out between the two factions, and the initial academic discussion developed into throwing shoes and socks, and finally using knives and guns, and even started a civil war. In the end, the city builders were victorious, and the naturalists were driven out of the Kugit political arena, and the naturalists who were unwilling to be defeated became the Black Flag Kujit, bent on maintaining traditional culture and protecting the green mountains and rivers of Kugit.
Kugit then fell into an endless stream of internal strife.
The two groups of people in front of them are the confrontation between the Kugit government army and the Black Flag Kugit.
When the arrays of the two sides extended to the extreme on both wings, the horn sounded, and the Black Flag Kugit actually took the lead in the charge.
Because of the lack of numbers, they only formed a line of 500 men wide and six columns deep.
The opponent was three times as numerous as theirs, a thousand men wide and ten columns deep!
The next moment when the black flag Kugit blew the horn of the charge, the horn of the Kugit government army also sounded, and the riders in disheveled clothes screamed and rushed towards the lone opponent in front of them.
In the face of such a charge, such a difference in numbers, the outcome of the battle should be decided in an instant.
Mutation protrusion!
The Black Flag Kugit who rushed forward suddenly blew out a hurried horn, and the horses' hooves struck, and all the Black Flag Kugit riders turned their heads to the right at the same time, and the horizontal column of five hundred people wide instantly became a vertical column of five hundred columns in depth, neatly like a person.
Then, a black cloud rose from the left side of the Black Flag Kugit column and loomed over the oncoming Kugit riders.
At this moment of deformation, all the Black Flag Kugit turned their left side towards the enemy, drawing their bows and firing arrows without any effort.
The Kugit riders who rushed to the forefront fell down in an instant, and the riders behind did not have time to react, and trampled over the bodies of their partners.
The column of the Black Flag Kugit, like a cunning snake, sharply turned to the right and galloped. The opposite Kugit rider also moved, intending to bite his opponent to the death.
However, as soon as the Kugit government forces followed the change of direction, they turned their bodies to the right side of the enemy.
Shoot an arrow immediately, often with the left hand holding the bow and the right hand opening the string.
As soon as the Kugit rider changed direction, he immediately felt bad and couldn't shoot arrows!
More importantly, tonight's wind is blowing from the direction of Black Flag Kugit to the camp of the Kugit government army.
Some people changed to the right hand to support the bow, and the left hand opened the string, not only did they lose their head, but the strength of the bow was not enough, and the arrow fell to the ground not far away, and even worse, it was blown back by the wind. And Black Flag Kugit's arrows multiply their power in the fierce winds. In just a few breaths, Kugit government forces left at least a thousand corpses.
The commander of the Kugit finally reacted, and as soon as the horn blew, the riders turned back their horses, intending to also detour back behind the black flag Kugit in a column, forming a counterclockwise rotation and forcing the opponent to shoot.
But this group of horses can see that the gap is coming. Black Flag Kugit's horse team changed direction in a uniform manner, just like a person, on the one hand, because of good training, and on the other hand, because of good horses. As soon as the Kugit horse team changed direction, it immediately became a mess, and many riders crashed together and fell off their horses, and some horses with weak feet even fell to the ground as soon as their legs were weak.
Black Flag Kujit's horse team began to spin counterclockwise, going around behind the chaotic Kugit horse team.
The Kugit nation has dominated the grassland for many years, famous for riding and archery, the best work is this trick to rotate counterclockwise, if there is no enemy of riding archers, as long as the rotation starts, the opponent is shrouded in a circle, the other party moves, the circle also moves, always separated by a hundred meters, can shoot each other from all angles, and the other party is powerless to return to the sky, can only be shot one by one.
To deal with the Kugit riders, they can only rotate counterclockwise to form a tail-chasing counter-fire, or like the Rhodok elite, seize the hills and mountains, erect a large array of oars and shields, and use snipers to form a counter-fire inside.
It's a mess like this, it's like looking for death.
Under the counterclockwise rotation of the Black Flag Kugit, the chaotic mass of riders was shot and killed, and the battle turned into a one-sided slaughter.
The Kugit government army unwillingly sounded the horn of retreat, and the remnants of the riders quickly retreated into the distance, and the circle of the Black Flag Kugit suddenly expanded, and the enemy who had always been enveloped in defeat moved into the distance, and it turned out to be the government army of 10,000 men who wanted to completely swallow it.
With the sound of hooves, the two centaurs quickly left the grassland in front of them.
It wasn't until the smoke and dust also disappeared below the horizon that I breathed a sigh of relief and stood up: "This TMD is war." ”
Jamila shuddered, and the dryer's eyes lit up.
Illya just glanced at the battlefield in front of her, which had become an Asura field, and her face was expressionless.
The dryer said, "Boss, let's go down." ”
I said, "What are you going down for?"
The dryer said: "Boss, you don't know, a battlefield like this is the biggest source of wealth, how many people have fished a lot of oil and water, and they have not had time to spend it. ”
My heart moved, but I still stuck to my principle: "How much oil and water can there be below, not to mention, I can't do the things that make people die, they are all warriors who died in battle, and they must be respected." With that, I glanced at Illya, and sure enough, I saw her nod imperceptibly.
The dryer jumped up: "There is not much oil and water? You actually say that there is not much oil and water? There are at least 100,000 dinars of oil and water below, and you actually say that there is not much oil and water?"
I wanted to be hit head-on, and I couldn't stand still: "What are you talking about? 100,000 dinars? Are you kidding?"
The dryer jumped and said: "Look at the hundreds of horses below, there are at least more than 100 good ones, and they are worth at least 30,000 or 40,000 yuan when they are sold in the market; if you look at the swords, guns and armor all over the ground, pick out some good ones, how can there be thousands of them, they are worth 50,000 or 60,000 yuan; and in addition, the dead are all Kugit government troops, and everyone is estimated to have robbed no less than two or three hundred in the countryside all day long, and now thousands of people have died below, and I don't believe that tens of thousands of people can be found." ”
My eyes were straight, and I was about to get on my horse and rush down, but from the distant horizon we hid in the grass, when a group of Kugit government troops, more than a thousand people, came over, looked at the battlefield, and took the money from the arms of the fallen soldiers.
After a while, another group of Kugit government troops, numbering more than 3,000 people, looked at the battlefield and took away their horses, and took away a lot of their blades on the ground.
After a while, another group of Kugit government troops, more than 6,000 people, carefully turned over the battlefield, and finally stripped away some of the remaining blades, arrows, and even the leather robes of the fallen soldiers.
