Chapter 543: The Wolf Rider Encounters the Enemy

When Wang Yong led a group of logistics soldiers to attack the enemy with ballistas on the flank, the wolf head was leading his wolf cavalry to start a hedge between the Qi cavalry and the enemy who stayed in the enemy camp.

Here's the thing, when the wolf head received Chris's order to attack the camp in the rear of the enemy army, he saw that Mu Sen and Chris came with men and horses to help, so he gave up the plan to support Wang Yong, bypassed the huge army formation of the enemy, and went straight to the camp in the rear of the enemy army.

When the wolf head came to the enemy camp with almost a company of wolf cavalry, he happened to see that the camp was already in chaos, and almost all the enemy soldiers guarding the camp gate fell in a pool of blood, and the war horses left in the camp were rushing out of the camp gate under the leadership of the head horse and heading straight to the east.

The wolf head clearly saw that on the back of the leading horse and several war horses behind it, Iron Mask and Shadow Dance and others were lying on the back of the horse, guiding the direction of the horses.

The wolf head commanded Xiao Ash to stop, and ordered his subordinates to line up less than two kilometers away from the gate of the enemy camp, because the wolf head saw that there were many enemies blocking the long horse team and jumped on the war horses, intending to go out of the camp to pursue Tie Mian and the others and the large number of war horses they had taken away.

The highest officer left behind in the battalion is named Raleigh, who is in his forties, with a mediocre appearance, but a burly and strong figure, high sword eyebrows, resolute eyes, and a daunting aura of no anger and self-authority. Raleigh is a close confidant of Commander Hurt, who has followed Hurt for many years, and has more than 1,500 well-equipped cavalrymen under his command, whose combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of ordinary cavalry, and is also Hurt's descendant of the Guards Wing.

In this counterattack on Shenlong Pass, Hurt did not take Raleigh's ace cavalry wing with him, but let him stay in the camp, just so that he could take care of the horses and the few supplies left, and prepare to take these resources through the northern forests and return to the empire by a detour when it was impossible to do so.

But just now, Raleigh was standing on the watchtower and watching the battle ahead, and saw that his side was being defeated by the enemy. I was even more anxious. Just as Raleigh was about to send his men forward to ask Hutt for battle, the captain of Raleigh suddenly noticed that the horses in the stables in the east, south, and north directions had rushed out of the stables for some reason, and gathered together at a very fast speed, rushing towards the camp gate. Raleigh was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly sent someone to intercept the war horses, if so many war horses rushed out of the camp all the way forward, they would impact their own military formation from the rear, so that the already precarious own military formation was likely to collapse instantly, resulting in the failure of the entire battle.

But. When Raleigh hurriedly gathered his men, but heard the news of the disappearance of one subordinate officer after another, Raleigh frowned, did not panic, but calmly commanded his various brigades, set up obstacles on the road to the camp gate, and intercepted the galloping horses.

The captain of the Raleigh Wing personally led two teams of cavalry to intersperse horizontally into the surging and galloping horses, and constantly interspersed in the torrent of thousands of horses with superb riding skills. And quickly controlled the direction of the horses, and finally after losing more than 20 subordinates and more than 100 horses, it was able to stabilize nearly half of the horses.

After stabilizing the herd, Raleigh sat on the horse's back. Panting for breath, he looked at the smoke and dust raised by the thousands of war horses that had been plundered out of the barracks, the anger in his heart continued to surge, and after his eyes coldly swept over the subordinates who had gathered, he stared at a cavalry under the banner of the enemy army that was rushing from the northwest.

After ordering the remaining logistics troops to place the remaining horses. Raleigh gathered all his subordinates to assemble quickly, and then went out of the camp to line up, intending to destroy the cavalry that was about to steal the camp first. Make a U-turn and recover the stolen horses and kill the damned horse thieves.

When Raleigh and his subordinates, who had always been proud of him, assembled at the camp gate, he saw that the other party had also been integrated in the distance at this time, and put on a charging formation, apparently planning to have a head-to-head duel with him.

Raleigh secretly sneered, his subordinates are all elite cavalry carefully selected from various cavalry units, each soldier is not only superb in horsemanship, but also second to none in the army of the empire in terms of force and adaptability, and from subordinate officers at all levels to ordinary soldiers, all are equipped with the best leather armor and cavalry guns in the empire, even if they face the enemy heavy cavalry, they also have the power to fight.

And this enemy cavalry who did not know whether to live or die actually dared to confront him head-on, Raleigh was very modest that the enemy was looking for death, and after ordering the same triangular charge array, he slowly accelerated, intending to teach this enemy who did not know life and death a painful lesson.

As the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, when Raleigh, who was full of confidence in holding his spear, saw the enemy and their mounts clearly, he gasped, and looked at the horror on the faces of his subordinates who followed closely beside him.

At the moment just now, Raleigh, who has been in battle for a long time and has experienced, has already judged that although the huge giant wolf that the enemy is riding has an absolute advantage in close combat, when the two armies hedge, neither the impact nor the bearing power is much stronger than the war horse, so Raleigh has already calculated that he will only hedge against this group of enemies, and after consuming most of their strength, he will encircle and kill them with superior forces.

After the wolf head integrated the array, he was waiting for the enemy's cavalry to sneak attack from the side when he pursued the horses taken away by Iron Mask, but he didn't expect that the enemy's cavalry eyes were still very sharp, and he actually discovered the existence of his cavalry, and rushed over without hesitation. Seeing the enemy rushing over, the corners of the wolf's mouth turned up slightly, this was the first time he led his men to fight the cavalry head-on, and he was thinking about how to defeat the enemy with the smallest price.

There is no way, although the wolf head is very confident that he will not lose to any cavalry unit except the heavy cavalry in the head-on hedge, but the wolf head has to consider the problem of battle damage, because after the loss of ordinary cavalry, a group of war horses and soldiers can be replenished, and after a period of training. But the wolf head is different, the population of their wolf clan is not much, and the source of troops is even more stretched, and what they lack most now is the giant wolf that acts as a mount, and it is difficult to replenish each loss, so in order to maintain a complete establishment and combat effectiveness, the wolf head has to be careful with calculations.
