Led high into the air by Anna, Renault saw the cavalry that looked like a long dragon at a glance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

How many 10,000 war horses are there, according to the four horses side by side, each war horse plus the gap is counted as three meters, and the team is also stretched to more than 7,000 meters.

Such a formation is certainly not suitable for attacking, but it is also very troublesome to attack such a formation.

So Renault first had the escort ambush on a hill five kilometers away from Black Iron Town, and they all rode modified black horses, body armor and leggings made of thin steel sheets, and their main weapons were still bows and crossbows.

Even after rigorous training, Renault was not so arrogant as to think that a few hundred men could fight 10,000 head-on.

The Black Iron Army set up 20 mortars, each equipped with 20 shells.

Now he finally knew why people kept saying that fighting a war was about money.

A mortar shell costs about 8 gold coins, and 400 shells are worth 3,200 gold coins, which can be completed in less than a minute, which is faster than throwing gold coins directly from the sky.

The cost of the grenade is even more frighteningly high, a shell is not considered labor, the material cost alone is 20 gold coins, the steel shell of this batch of shells is the steel he produced with the mobile phone app, if you rely on the blast furnace to make steel, the cost is estimated to be doubled.

Some people say that wealth and war are twin brothers, which is not entirely true, wealth and war should be twin sisters raised by ****, they can arouse the most primitive desires of human beings.

As Renault expected, Roshi's cavalry stopped when it reached the open area.

The first team fed and watered the horses, waited for the teams behind and began to assemble.

Renault asked Anna to fly a little closer, and found that the team did not look like a regular army. And there were not only women, but also old people with snow-white hair and children of twelve or thirteen years old. Each of them carried only a water bag and a small cloth wrap in a sheepskin bag, and their weapons were longbows and swords.

Their leather armor was very rudimentary, but most of them consisted of half a sheepskin wrapped around their bodies and tied with hemp rope. The more advanced ones are just some thin iron chains or iron pieces wrapped around the sheepskin. The bodies were dirty, and Renault could almost smell the stench emanating from them when he was flying in mid-air.

It is estimated that Genghis Khan's Mongol army was in this way in its earliest form.

But the Mongol army finally swept through Asia and Europe and was invincible, relying not only on superb cavalry and archery, but also on the ruthlessness in their bones.

Longbows, swords?

These two things are paired with light cavalry, and they are a little out of tune no matter how you look at them.

Moreover, these people obviously lack discipline and formal cavalry training, and it is estimated that they are usually in the wide grasslands, and it is no problem to scatter as wide as they want.

Once you get to this kind of narrow terrain, it is very confusing. The shouting and scolding could probably be heard in Black Iron Town, a few miles away.

"Lord Renault, where did these people come from?" Anna looked at the team below, her eyes showing a hint of helplessness.

"It is estimated that some disobedient tribe of the Black Sheep family was deceived by Luo Xi's rhetoric. ”

"This guy is so annoying," said Anna in disgust, "or we'll kill Roshi, and the gang will go back on their own." ”

Anna had a good idea, but it was a terrible idea.

The two armies are facing each other, if it is a small war of hundreds and thousands of people, relying on the super strength of the awakened, through decapitation, it may be able to play a deterrent role and make the other party retreat with interest.

But once it rises to the level of 10,000 or even 100,000 troops, it will be difficult for ordinary awakened people to control the situation.

For example, Renault's Demon Spirit Flame and Razer can burn an ordinary person to ashes in an instant, but his attack range is only thirty meters.

In the battle, thousands of horses galloped and thousands of arrows were fired, and a small circle of thirty meters would be submerged in an instant, and I don't know how to die.

Renault asked Momiji to recruit a large number of troops in order to cope with the arrival of the big war, and the ruler of the western grassland, the Black Sheep family, reported more than 100,000 regular cavalry alone.

If all the people were soldiers, their total number of battles would even exceed 700,000, and the royal family's silver armor army would only be this number, and that would be the power of the entire continent and the power accumulated for thousands of years.

If you really meet them on the steppe, hundreds of guards and dozens of mortars will not be of great use at all.

However, these 10,000 people should be the rangers of the western grassland, and it is estimated that there are no immediate family members of the Black Sheep family.

By the small river, which was not too wide, Roshi was dressed in beautiful silver armor, and he was surrounded by several strong men of all grown men, who were the temporary leaders of the ten thousand men.

Renault guessed correctly, this party was a ruined tribe that had been "exiled" to the frontier of the steppe by the Black Sheep family, and the previous leader was Pero Lake.

Perrault was an illegitimate child, greedy and cunning by nature, and even the people in the Black Sheep family thought he was annoying, so they left him to fend for himself in the barren grasslands in the far west.

Two years ago, Perrault died of a serious illness, and the small tribe he led became a child without a father and mother, without financial support from the Lake family, and life became more and more difficult day by day.

The last time Roshi returned from a big defeat at the Nameless Pass, was locked in the house by his father for several months and was not allowed to go out, but he didn't know how he hooked up with the tribe.

In his description, Black Iron is a rich town, with thousands of beautiful women in addition to rich mines, and their escort is only a few hundred people.

The conditions given by Luo Xi are also very tempting, as long as they help him capture Black Iron Town, he is willing to pay 30,000 gold coins at one time, and he only has Black Iron Town, and they can take other things at will.

This is an absolutely irresistible temptation for a tribe that is almost unable to afford to eat.

"Lord Roshi," spoke a brown-haired man with a black beard and an ugly scar at the corner of his eye, "Is it true that there are only a few hundred guards in Black Iron Town?"

"Don't worry," Luo Xi actually looked down on these people very much in his heart, they were dirty, smelly, vulgar, and never concealed the desire in his heart, and he was so smoked that he was even dizzy with them these days. If it weren't for his father, who listened to the orders of the Black Sheep family and resolutely refused to send troops to Black Iron Town, he would not have dealt with these barbarians, "I have sent people to reconnoiter in Black Iron Town for a long time, and they don't even have 500 soldiers. ”

The brown man looked at him deeply, "I can say it first, if I don't make peace with you, we will return to the grassland immediately, and the gold coins will not be returned to you!"

"No problem. Roshi shrugged, "You'll know then." ”

When he said this, he sneered in his heart.

These guys who don't know whether to live or die, just charge into battle honestly, it's best for them to fight to the death with Renault, and he will benefit from the back.

It is estimated that Renault has now received the news that he does not have many escort troops, and even if it is greatly expanded, it is all a group of weak recruits who will not be of much use in front of the fierce tribal cavalry.

However, he was still a little worried about the explosion that Renault had made, and his strange things were said to be a magic weapon and had to be guarded against.

So he made an excuse and retreated to the back of the line. (To be continued.) )
