The warriors of the Snowy Tribes are scattering and fleeing, and the Imperial cavalry is in pursuit, constantly reaping the lives of their enemies with their sabers.

The Imperial cavalry focused on pursuing the enemy, ignoring that they had left the plains suitable for horses to gallop and gradually entered the wooded forest area.

In the dim forest, dark shadows constantly passed through the woods, and unknown dangers were hidden in the nearby forests, and the cavalry knew nothing about it.

Count Pike was still at the front of the line, and his keen instincts sensed that something was wrong, and he hurriedly observed his surroundings.

Not good, we pursued the enemy into the forest, we don't know anything about the environment here, I'm afraid there is an ambush of the enemy here, so we need to retreat quickly!

Earl Pike also saw a figure flashing in the forest from time to time, and he felt a little uncomfortable and shouted to his men, "Retreat, retreat! It's not safe here, let's hurry back to the camp!"

The Imperial cavalry showed their good military qualities, and did not ignore the orders of their commanders in the struggle for military merit, but turned their horses and retreated towards the position of the camp.

Moments later, the entire cavalry, led by Earl Pike, began to retreat towards the camp, and at the front of the line, Earl Pike could even see the forest junction dappled with sunlight through the lush foliage.

Seeing this, Count Pike finally put down the stone in his heart, and as soon as he wanted to open his mouth to encourage his men's bravery, he suddenly felt a feeling of weightlessness, and then the picture before him began to be turned upside down.

With a "plop", he fell to the ground with the war horse under him, but fortunately the soil on the ground was very wet and soft, and the plate armor he was wearing cushioned most of the strength.

But even so, he felt dizzy and aching from the fall.

The horsemen who were with him saw their commander fall to the ground, and as soon as they wanted to inquire what had happened, they immediately fell to the ground with their men and horses like Count Pike.

The cavalrymen who followed behind saw their comrades in front of them fall to the ground, and hurriedly reined in their horses and stopped on the side of the road.

Earl Pike staggered to his feet from the ground, and looked at the culprit who had brought them down, which was a fallen tree that had crossed the road, and which had not existed when they had just entered!

No, there is an ambush here!, before Count Pike could give a warning, a large number of arrows were fired from the woods on either side, and the cavalrymen were hit by the arrows and fell from their horses screaming.

Although the cavalry wore strong plate armor, the number of arrows fired was so great that many of them hit the weak joints of the plate armor, stabbed the body behind the plate armor, and even the unlucky people were shot in the eyes behind the armor.

The enemy archers were hiding behind the woods, and the horses could not rush into the dense woods anyway, and now the cavalry could not fight in such a place!

Earl Pike quickly weighed the consequences of their battle, and he shouted frantically: "Quickly retreat, don't delay here, fighting them here is to death!"

His loyal men galloped to the Count's side, and used his body as cover to help the Count ride to his horse, and the Count looked deeply at him and nodded at his men.

The Count said no more, and drove his horse over the log that lay in the middle of the road. Seeing that the commander had fled from the forest, his men, who had been shot into hedgehogs by arrows, fell to the ground and never got up again.

The cavalry in the rear also stopped fighting, and withdrew from the terrible woods on horseback, as the cavalry generally wore refined plate armor, and most of the cavalry managed to escape from here.

The enemy in the woods was also well aware of their speed disadvantage, and did not come out of the forest to pursue, but only symbolically shot a few waves of arrows out of the forest.

Count Pike and his surviving cavalry crossed the corpses of countless tribal warriors, passed blood-soaked streams and meadows, and returned to the camp of the forward army in the light of the midday sun.

None of the cavalrymen who came back did not have mottled dried blood stains on their bodies, and many of the cavalrymen sat down on the ground after dismounting from their horses, not wanting to get up again.

Some of the horsemen were helping their horses pull out the arrows nailed to them, stroking their manes without saying a word, as if they really felt that they were lucky to be able to escape with their whole body.

Earl Pike wore full-coverage plate armor, the heavy armor that protected countless swords and spears, and he did not suffer fatal injuries except for the bruises from falling.

He handed the reins of his beloved horse to the logistics soldier who took care of the horse, then he found a big stone and sat down, and after thinking for a while, he said to his men waiting beside him: "Increase the pension of the soldier who just saved my life tenfold, and I will give it to his family with my own hands after the war." ”

"Yes, my lord!" his men gave the order, and turned back to prepare for the follow-up.

Count Pike sat on a stone and looked at the cavalrymen who were repairing around him, most of them tidying up their equipment without saying a word. The earl smiled bitterly, the battle was not as smooth as he expected, obviously he fought so well before, and this time he also lost about one-tenth of the cavalry!
