69. Knights Training

The iron armor reflected the cold light, the horses' hooves trampled on the mud, the white smoke and dust spread in the sun, and the hundred knights galloped and charged across the plain.

For the dozens of knights who have just transitioned from the miner state, Rand does not expect them to return to their former level as soon as they get on the horse, and can only say that they can find their feelings while training.

In order to promote the effectiveness of the training, Rand rode the fire to lead the team himself, and with the fire in front of him, all the black-scaled horses would be more obedient.

Fortunately, the knights, as demon supporters, have undergone strict training since childhood, and many skills can indeed be quickly recovered.

In the afternoon when Rand finished his speech, the knights were assigned horses and armor weapons, and in the afternoon, they were only able to get on the horse for riding adaptation training, after all, the black-scaled horse was also a rare commodity in the inland of the human race, and most of the knights had not ridden the war horses before had not reached the level of the black-scaled horse.

For most of the trained knights, the first afternoon of riding the Blackscale Horse was not a smooth one, except for a few intermediate knights who were able to control the horses quickly with their strength; Mace Frostwolf was assigned to a black-scaled horse trained by Neil by Neil, and the horses were quite obedient after riding, and most of the other junior knights and knight apprentices could only ensure that they would not be thrown off after they got on the horse, of course, there were also a small number of black-scaled horses under their crotch, and some even ran after the horses for hundreds of meters without going up at all.

In the end, it was Rand who rode the fire, and under the deterrence of the fire, all the black-scaled horses listened to the words, and the knights were all on their horses, and they were able to run a few kilometers together as a team.

After the acclimatization training, most of the salt mine riders choose to groom, sweat and feed their horses themselves, so as to get close to their horses and make the future riding smoother.

On the second day, Rand knew that he had to train with the knights throughout the whole process, and the knights had probably figured out the temperament of the black partner under him after yesterday afternoon, so the whole training had been greatly improved, not only could they line up as a whole, but several intermediate knights could already take their own teams to train in formations alone.

Rand Barroll handed it over, "What do you think, what's wrong with our Knights?" ”

"Very good, as far as I know, there are only a few dukes in our Dragon Kingdom who can match 100 black-scaled horses and ironclad knights with such strength" Luo Er was very satisfied with the team in front of him.

"Those earls and marquis of other people, they all have high-level knights or mages in their families, right?"

"That's natural, a 50-man knight order, the head of the regiment generally needs high-ranking knights; If there are more than 50 people, you need a regimental commander above the rank of Grand Knight; 100 people need a silver knight or more as a leader, we are now a team of 100 people, and there should be at least a big knight. ”

A powerful knight is not only an additional high-end combat power for the knights, but also a high-level knight can connect the fighting spirit to the magic net, and mobilize the fighting spirit of the entire knight order with the help of the magic net, so as to form the entire knight as a whole.

The knights led by the senior knights and above will have 1-2 group skills, condensing the fighting spirit of the entire knight group into a lethal move or defensive cover, and the power of the group skills is far beyond the maximum power that the high-level knights can exert, and can even stir and shatter the magic elements in the air, so that the magic effect of the middle and low-level magicians is scattered.

"However, the group skills of the knights cannot be used on our galloping horse plain, and the magic turbulence on the entire plain makes the group skills and the power of high-level mages, knights, and priests unable to be exerted.

This continued from the Plains of the Galloping Horse to the west of Maned Wolf City in the Northwest Count. ”

Rand understood what Rohr meant, in the environment of magic turbulence, the number and equipment of the knights are the greatest guarantee of combat effectiveness, and the knights of Rand are well equipped, good horses, and many people, and even the maned wolf knights have to give three points when they are gathered.

However, Rand had to face the barbarian cavalry assembled by the Grey Goose tribe, and their number was equal to his total number of cavalry, although Rand claimed that only the remnants of the Grey Goose tribe remained, but Rand himself knew that the rest of the Grey Goose was the elite of the entire tribes south of the Galloping Horse River.

With the same number of people and similar equipment, the only advantage he can claim right now is the overall buff that Agni inflicts on his entire herd.

"I'm afraid our existing knights still don't have an absolute advantage over the main force of the gray goose, and we need to find a reserve team of 150 people from the current demon supporters."

"150 people?"

"Yes, we might be able to get some black-scaled horses on the way south, let them practice with pack beasts first, and let them change into them once there are black-scaled horses that are vacant."

Rand's request was carried out on the same day, and the barbarians of the original bull tribe selected 50 pack beasts that could be ridden and 150 pack beasts suitable for carrying loads.

On the morning of the third day of training, Rand took advantage of the early morning time to conduct a final formation exercise, the main content of which was that the three main teams of the Knights charged head-on, and the two cavalry teams outflanked the two wings, and the 150 demon supporters who had been temporarily selected the night before followed the frontal charge with pack beasts and the reserve squadron of the Order.

The main task of Neil's reconnaissance team is to go around to the rear of the target area to intercept the opponent's possible escape.

Neil and his cronies looked at the hillside in the distance, and after more than seventy knights of the main squadron rushed down, the 180 reserves behind them slowly followed were halfway up the mountain.

Within 100-200 meters of the initial charge, the reserve and the main squadron were basically connected into a whole phalanx, but as the charge became longer, the black-scaled horse and the pack beast opened up the speed, and a complete phalanx gradually became two phalanxes, and then the main squadron riding the black-scaled horse became more and more forward, and after 500 meters forward, the front phalanx and the reserve behind opened a distance of 200 meters.

"Big brother, isn't this a phalanx of frontal charges? How did it become two teams? ”

"There's no way, the speed between the black-scaled horse and the pack beast is there, even if it's a pack beast raised by the bull tribe, it can't keep up with the black-scaled horse."

"Can this team of 75 cavalry face off against the more than 200 cavalry of Grey Goose?"

"This is not a decisive battle against the Grey Goose," Neil said categorically, "and now this training is only for the formation of several squadrons, and it is impossible to really let more than 70 cavalry attack a team of 200 people."

In the real decisive battle, all of us riding black-scaled horses will go up together, and we will have the advantage in numbers. ”

"Oh, that's it," the big stone thought.

Although he expressed his belief in victory with his cronies, Neil knew that even if the 3 knight squadrons, 2 cavalry squadrons, and the teams of Neil and Greyhound were all combined, they were only the same as all the main forces of Grey Goose now, and there was no certainty of victory.

After the first joint exercise, Rand and Rohr also discovered the problems in the joint training, the main force and the reserve phalanx were too far apart, the cavalry on both flanks and the main phalanx were not in place, and the herald cavalry needed to be set up to coordinate between several teams.

So Rand conducted joint training again, and in the second joint training, the main knight squadron and two cavalry teams and reconnaissance teams of more than 200 cavalry formed a unified phalanx, with 40 cavalry in front, a total of 5 rows of jogging and then fast running, and finally charged forward about 500 meters.

After the second round of joint training, Rand finally felt that the cavalry team charged during the game in his previous life, but the formation was just similar, and it was already very difficult to actually ride on a horse to keep multiple people moving at the same speed, and if there was no fire for the overall coordination of the horses, it would be impossible to charge after practicing for 2 days.

However, Rand is running out of time now, whether it is weather or food, he needs to go south as soon as possible, and can only train as he goes.
