Volume 1 1 Part Volume 2 - Trickery in Formation

Some of the caravan guards were still vigilant, observing the unpredictable people on the other side.

In caravans, horses were used instead of camels, which did seem strange - camels were better suited to carry goods in the desert than horses, and camels were cheaper than horses in most parts of Rotiriña Sedili.

In addition, those caravans did not even have any caravan guards to protect them - this looks somewhat unreasonable!

Even if it is not so valuable, there will be some caravan escorts.

And now, those people are just a team.

"They're not caravans!" suddenly one shouted!

That's right!

The "caravan horses" that had originally lined up in a column now suddenly began to change formation—the horses were not connected to each other by the reins, so the whole column of the original line immediately expanded into a scattered formation of riders!

"Oh no! that's supposed to be 'Desert Marauders!'" one of the caravan guards immediately became nervous, and as he mounted his horse, he shouted to the people around him, "They're Marauders!

It turned out that the marauders had disguised themselves as a caravan before, trying to reduce the vigilance of the caravan guards here, so that the caravan guards were unprepared to engage in battle - although they did not use camels, but they also confused the caravans here for a while, making them miss the best time to retreat and prepare for defense.

The caravans began to get noisy - the merchants here began to get nervous - the merciless raiding of the desert marauders would make the merchants lose their money!

In addition, what is more serious is that not to mention the goods of the merchants, even the safety of the merchants themselves, it is difficult to guarantee - the cruel desert raiders, do not want the robbed merchants to call the provincial defense soldiers to help them!

Merchants and guards are likely to die outright, or they will be caught, crippled and then become slaves in the handicraft workshops of the raiders' strongholds!

Suddenly the battle began, and the caravan escorts, immediately and quickly mounted their horses.

"Hurry up and get ready to defend!Hurry up and get into defensive formation!" The captain of the caravan guard, "Desert Wasteland Blade", shouted as he watched nervously on his horse and watched the desert marauders as he commanded the caravan guards around him.

The caravan escorts, depending on the weapons used, began to move quickly apart.

One of them, consisting of caravan guards armed with cavalry spears, quickly split into two under the leadership of the caravan captain "Desert Wasteland Blade", and protected the caravan in the middle.

The other group, the caravan guards armed with bows and arrows, led by the deputy captain of the caravan guard, began to detour higher up on the sand dunes on one side, preparing to quickly intercept and attack from the flank when the enemy rushed towards the caravan.

Bows and arrows are long-range weapons used by infantry or cavalry in the Rotiriñan Sedili civilization.

Although it is said that the Rotiri-Ni Sedili civilization also has *** technology, however, due to the technology of metal smelting, the *** here is limited to the more cumbersome copper artillery in some fortresses and cities.

(Note: The density of copper is 8.96 grams per cubic centimeter, and the smelting technology of the Rotiri Sedili people is not advanced, and to make artillery, it is necessary to cast a very thick barrel, so that even a small-caliber *** will weigh a lot.) )

Limited by technology, in terms of light weapons, the Rotiri people can only continue to use ancient cold weapons such as bows and arrows.

The "Desert Marauders", riding on horseback and shouting savagely, rushed straight towards the caravan!

"Hurry up and escort the caravan out!" shouted the captain of the guard at the side of the caravan, "Desert Wasteland Blade".

In just a few minutes, the caravan guards immediately realized that they were in danger - unbeknownst to them, the "Desert Marauders" here were not really dangerous!

True, another, much more serious danger was creeping closer, towards the caravans here, and likewise, the desert marauders.

It's just that the two sides who are about to fight each other now have not noticed the danger that is approaching!
