Chapter 189: Ranger and Ranger

In fact, the members of the Horn Summoning Ranger Regiment were very entangled when they first gathered in the large army.

Because the rangers who have guarded Long River Town for a long time do not treat the Noldor Elves very well, after all, the Noldor Elves have killed many civilians in Long River Town with revenge, especially Ardarian's troops.

Although there have not been many conflicts between the two sides in recent years, it is true that the Ranger has a hard time befriending the Noldor Elves.

But in fact, the lord just wants the Rangers to fight with the Noldor elves, and use the friendship to ease the conflict between them.

Perhaps at present, this is just an army of 1,000 people forcibly gathered together, and there is no cooperation between them.

But in any case, such a scale and level of elite will definitely be first-class in the Pande Continent, enough to face any strong enemy.

Leofrick couldn't believe it the moment he saw the reinforcements - who would have thought that Leon would bring an elite of this magnitude?

"Lord Leon, the forces of the Raven Kingdom are indeed coming to Fort Shield. My scouts have determined that a crow force is now camped a few dozen miles northwest - but they'll be scared to see yours......"

Leofrick was now relieved and began to laugh.

"They'd better come quickly, and we should hurry up and destroy them first......"

Li Angke was not at ease at all, and his face was quite grim: "The Raven Kingdom only fought a battle with the Cato people not long ago, but now they actually dare to cross the Cato steppe, it is likely that they have reached some agreement with the Cato people - I think the Cato people are likely to make a big move......"

Lord Lords weren't as optimistic as Leofric, as he had just sent Dumbledore to the prairie a few days ago......

In fact, this 'reasonable suggestion' to lure the Cato was originally intended to ease the hatred between Noldor and the inhabitants of Fort White Hart and other places - the lord originally wanted the Ebony Gauntlet Knights to attract a few Cato, and then take Vendatil's student rangers to fight side by side with the people of the eastern frontier to kill the Cato people who had been recruited.

After all, the Cato were the common enemies of the Noldor and the people of the east, and fighting side by side was the best way to resolve the original contradictions.

And Dumbledore only has about a hundred men under his command now, and there will definitely not be too many Cato people to attract - the lord has already calculated it.

But no one expected that the Raven Kingdom would suddenly cross the Cato Grassland and enter the Lion Realm.

Since the army of the Raven Kingdom passed through the Cato steppe safely, it was obviously a bit of a problem with the Cato people, and the lord felt that this battle was not as simple as it seemed.

Coupled with the fact that Dumbledore's Ebony Handguard Knights were presumably doing something in the grasslands north, it was difficult to determine how the Cato would react......

"I've heard that something has happened in Changhe Town...... Shall we ignore the town of the River? Earlier, Alma sent someone to arrest me, saying that I was going to Changhe Town to be investigated, but before I could decide what to do, I heard that he died in Changhe Town......"

Leofrick turned to Leon.

"After repelling the foreign enemy, let's think about how to put down the rebellion, this is the principle...... Even the first Lion King, didn't he first repel foreign enemies and then settle internal rebellions? ”

Lord Lords shook his head and sighed.

"That's right, that's how it should be. And...... The Lion City will probably react......"

Leofrick nodded and smiled, looking at the golden griffin banner behind the lord, his eyes were quite meaningful.

When he led the troops to the camp of the Three Prophets to set fire, he also wore this kind of 'honest' smile.

Leon's hunch was confirmed half a day later.

Raphael, who was familiar with the terrain, went to reconnoitre, and reported that the troops of the Raven Kingdom did not continue to approach the Shield Fortress, but set up a camp in the grassland dozens of miles northwest of the Shield Fortress.

In fact, the place was closer to the village of Fletcher, basically directly north of the village of Fletcher, about thirty miles across the river.

Oddly enough, the average military would choose to camp near the river – for easy access to water.

However, the troops of the Raven Realm chose a grassland full thirty miles from the river, which made the lord smell danger.

Judging from the size alone, the total number of that force was about fifteen hundred, and Raphael saw many banners, probably from multiple lords, and for a moment he couldn't tell who was leading the army.

On such a scale, if the logistics personnel are excluded, it will be more than 1,000 combat effectiveness.

This is certainly not the main force of the Raven army, just a partial division.

But whether this division is to intercept the reinforcements of the Lion Kingdom, or for some other purpose, it should be closer to Fletcher and Fort Shield, especially to the river channel of the Tongtian River.

After all, across the river bank is more suitable for interception, and the archers of the Raven Realm are notoriously strong.

Now they camped more like the Cato - if they had a large number of cavalry or even all cavalry, they should indeed choose to camp in the flat and unobstructed steppe.

This was to give full play to the mobility of the cavalry and to avoid being attacked.

Most of the Crow Division that appeared here was probably cavalry, and it must have been to use the high mobility of cavalry to cut off the connection between Lion Lake City and the eastern border.

This means that most of the main forces of infantry and archers used by the Raven Kingdom to siege the city are all heading towards Lion Lake City.

Although I don't know the size of their main force or the direction of their movements, they still need to have a 5,000 army to be normal.

Li Ang felt that Lion Lake City was afraid that it was hanging in the air......

After making a rough determination that there were no other troops in the vicinity of the enemy's division, the lord simply led his troops to the vicinity of the village of Fletcher, in the camp that Ralph had built before, the same camp where Leon had fought the Cato in the first place.

Today, the village of Fletcher is guarded by about eighty Red Arrow longbowmen, and it is fairly stable.

These Red Arrow Longbowmen were Charles' men, but they were not loyal to Leon - such was the case in this era, and their men were not their own......

In fact, the Red Arrow Longbowmen were probably more than happy to be loyal to Godric, after all, they had been built by Godric.

But they were from the village of Fletcher, and were Charles's subjects.

Charles still hasn't returned to Fletcher, in fact Charles has lost contact completely during this time, and it seems as if he had disappeared after he ran from Long River Town to Kwen Village.

Now that Charles is not there, the Red Arrow Longbowmen are spontaneously arranging defenses, and they are actually quite nervous, after all, the army of the Raven Kingdom is only thirty miles apart.

Seeing the lord's large army approaching, the longbowmen cheered one after another—they still knew the banner of the superior lord, and now they all felt more secure when they saw that their superior lord had brought so many men and horses over.

But that sense of security quickly turned into a lot of talk......

They saw the Noldor Elves in the ranks.

Leon did not come forward to appease the Red Arrow longbowmen, after all, the fact that they were fighting side by side was always more useful than persuasion, and he was not familiar with them.

Since the troops of the Raven Kingdom had not marched and there was no movement, Li Ang was worried that there would be unpredictable changes if the stalemate continued, and he planned to take the initiative to attack with the current elite level of the troops under his command being high enough.

In other words, it is to launch a tentative attack, trying to see if it can directly defeat the crow kingdom's partial division.

At present, the Raven Kingdom must not know that Leon has such a powerful mixed force in his hands, so the lord intends to send a small cavalry to lure the enemy and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

Leofrick also had more than 300 cavalry in his hands, and Leon's request to him was to support him from the flanks, and after the main battle began, Leofrick would lead his troops to cut off the return route of the Ravens from the flanks and occupy the enemy's large camp.

This plan is not complicated, and the Lord's plan has always had a purpose - to have a simple and clear goal for each team.

A group of Lady Ranger under Vendatier's command and the Ranger led by Raphael took on the task of luring the enemy - something that the Lord had deliberately requested.

Letting the girl rangers come forward to lure the enemy is likely to be effective......

However, the Noldor elves may not be used to fighting on the grasslands, so let the horns of the familiar environment summon the rangers to cooperate to avoid accidents.

At the same time, this kind of dangerous mission can allow these two somewhat hostile teams to quickly establish a comradeship.

Raphael had great respect for Leon, and now that Leon had an explanation, he set out with fifty rangers.

Vendatil also began to disperse with dozens of young rangers, and she herself followed Raphael, who was not very familiar with the environment and had to cooperate with Raphael.

Vendatier knew that Leon's intention was only for Noldor to fight alongside the humans, and she had been discussing these matters with Lord Lord all night.

The Noldor sword master isn't good at any tactics or stratagem, but she has a high-end advantage that most people don't have – a great sense of purpose.

After determining what she wants to do, she will resolutely follow through.

In order to protect the Noldor girl from the tragic abuse she once had, she has honed the most suitable fighting style for the Noldor girl for more than two hundred years, and has been cultivating the girl ranger and never slacking off.

In an attempt to find a long-term future for the Noldor group, she will do so after deciding that she wants to try to integrate into the human world, even if her teammates are Horn Summoners that she doesn't like.

Leon's train of thought was fine, and both teams put down their mustard and tried to cooperate.

However, there are also things that the lord did not expect......

Originally, Leon wanted Raphael, who was familiar with the environment, to take care of the Noldos as much as possible, but as a result, Raphael almost capsized in the gutter during this lure operation.

Raphael, who had been on missions with Ralph for a long time, was originally a very good ranger, and he often did this kind of thing when dealing with the Cato, although he was not very old, but he was very experienced.

The camp of the Raven Force was built on the grassland, but there was no one outside the camp.

So Raphael was going to get closer to hook up, and he had to find a suitable place for the enemy to see the Noldor girls......

But as a result, the Noldor maidens did not get close behind, and Raphael himself had just arrived within three hundred meters of the other camp, when he encountered a large group of Crow Realm riders and forest patrol cavalry rushing out - the number was quite terrifying, at least seven or eight hundred.

No wonder the enemy camped in the steppe...... It looks like the camp is probably full of cavalry, and it seems to be ready for battle at any time!

Raphael didn't expect this to be the case, the enemy's reaction speed was beyond his expectations, and before he could seduce him, the enemy rushed out......

Of course, you have to turn back and run away, after all, the endless grassland can't hide people.

But Raphael was not very lucky, he was the closest to the enemy, and the enemy was covered by a rain of arrows thrown at him from a distance of more than two hundred meters.

Although the rain of arrows was too far away to hit him, it hindered his route - he couldn't go around in circles along the original route, so he could only just stop the horse and turn around and start again.

This is where the enemy's rain of arrows is thrown over long distances - to make Raphael's Rangers lose speed.

This time, he turned around in a position that did not suit the horse's wishes, causing Raphael's horse to step into a pit in the grassland.

It was supposed to be a rat hole, and the rats in the grassland were very large, and the hole was just big enough to trap a horse's feet, and it was hidden in the grass and couldn't be seen at all.

There are many such rat holes in the grassland, and it is indeed easy for mainland horses to encounter this situation after entering the grassland, and it is not uncommon to break their legs while running.

But Gatuma and the Gelding don't usually get into this kind of rat hole, and they can probably feel or smell it, because they live here.

Raphael rode a long river gelding, and it was very reliable to let the horse run on its own, but Raphael's forced reining operation to avoid the rain of arrows did not conform to the horse's own judgment, and he stepped into the rat hole and twisted his foot.

The horse stumbled and threw Raphael out of the way - fortunately it was a prairie, and it was good that he didn't fall out of it.

There are a large number of enemies chasing behind you, and under normal circumstances, the team that lures the enemy will not actually rescue in this situation, otherwise it is likely that everyone will be doomed.

But Vendatil doesn't know any human rules of combat, and when a friendly soldier falls off her horse, she directly turns back to rescue her.

The Noldor Elves will surely rescue their people in any battle, because the Noldor have always sought to achieve smaller losses.

Vendatil is extremely brave in battle, not at all like a woman.

Due to the short distance to lure the enemy, no one brought a spare horse, Raphael lost his horse and could not run, while Vendatier rode a relatively small Cato horse, unable to carry two people.

So Vendatil shot the fastest enemy with an arrow, and rushed up to take the man's horse before turning and running away - a large number of enemies chased her a hundred meters behind her!

Raphael did escape as a result, and he saw an opportunity to fly on his horse while running, and began to ride and shoot reflexively with Vendatier.

The girl rangers scattered around saw that the teacher was in danger, and they all gathered together, gradually moving closer to Vendatil.

And those Rangers who could have run away unscathed, seeing this situation, naturally converged to the Noldor elves - those Noldor girls who looked like they were all young girls were engaged in the battle to kill the enemy, and of course the Rangers could not be cowardly as men, otherwise they would lose face......

As a result, the expected lure of the enemy turned directly into a fierce chase battle.

The Girl Ranger and the Horn Summoning Ranger add up to nearly 100 people, all of them are top elite cavalry who are good at cavalry and archery, and it is actually difficult for any unit to chase them - the easiest way to achieve results in mounted archery is to reflexively shoot and chase their enemies.

The Horn Summons Rangers also saw how effective these Noldor Girl Ranger were, and how reliable they were on the battlefield.

Needless to say, the level of the Noldor Elves' bows and arrows was needless to say, and the Rangers knew it, so they weren't surprised by the girls' accurate marksmanship.

But what they don't know is that the Noldors are always accustomed to taking the initiative to help their comrades out of danger during battle.

This is the habit of the Noldos, they will always try to avoid losses, and in the Noldor culture, killing enemies does not create great merit, but rather saving their companions is more meritorious - Yin Si Landil also said to Risardiran that killing enemies cannot atone for sins, saving people or bringing back knowledge.

As a result, the girl rangers took the initiative to use their shields to help the rangers block a lot of arrows, and some of the girl rangers took the initiative to go to both sides of the team to defend.

The Rangers, who had never fought this kind of security battle, suddenly had a new perception of the Noldor Elves.

Plus—it's a girl who's protecting herself!

What a beautiful young girl!

What man can make a girl defend herself on the battlefield?

Plus Raphael was just saved by Vendatier......

The Horn summoned the Rangers to slow down and block the arrows at the back of the group, with shields on their backs, and mounted larger, armored steers to block the enemy's missed arrows at the end of the group.

This kind of arrow in the same direction is not very powerful in high-speed pursuits, just like Leofrick did when he set it on fire, and it is not a problem for larger or armored horses, and does not cause too many casualties.

But the man who ran in front turned around and shot backwards, and the power was completely different, and the Noldor's arrows were too accurate......

The Rangers realized that it seemed higher to use themselves as shields to make the Noldor Girls go all out, so the Rangers stopped shooting arrows and began to protect the Girl Rangers.

This protection gradually turns into a surprisingly good combination - the Rangers will wander between enemies and maidens, reducing damage with their spears and shields, and the Teenage Ranger will use bows and arrows to slow down the enemy's pace and kill the enemy.

Since they all know more about mounted archery, the Rangers will give way to the vision and the arrow miss the trajectory when the Girl Ranger reflexively draws the bow, and the Girl Ranger will constantly adjust their position to make it easier for the Rangers to block.

Occasionally, an enemy who gets close will be shot by Vendatil......

This force of less than 100 people actually made at least 700 Raven cavalry helpless!

Therefore, the cavalry of the Raven Realm did not chase for too long, they quickly realized that it was too cost-effective to go on like this, the chasing side suffered a lot of casualties, and the pursued side did not suffer much loss, which is completely different from chasing and killing the Misty Mountain people.

After chasing for several miles and losing at least fifty men, the cavalry of the Raven Kingdom stopped pursuing.

However, as the Raven cavalry began to retreat, Vendatier and Raphael remembered the lord's request at the same time - the goal of the mission was to lure the enemy!

What if the enemy doesn't chase after him?

At the same time, they found that their own troops seemed to be too strong, and they were afraid that the task of luring the enemy would not be completed......

So the two of them turned around quite bravely and began to take the initiative to attack.

The lord did not expect that before he had taught Raphael and Vendatier to fight guerrilla warfare, these two people spontaneously understood the essence - the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase......
